Cell Achieves His Perfect Form

"Huh? The Androids have escaped!"

Seeing that the Androids had vanished, Bulma couldn't help but exclaim.

"Heh, they won't get away."

Cell was extremely calm, showing not a hint of surprise at the Androids' escape.

In fact, the only reason the Androids were able to run away was because Cell had intentionally let them go.

Otherwise, given Cell's combat power, there was absolutely no way they could have escaped.

Cell wasn't the least bit anxious, as he had long since left a mark on Android 17 and Android 18.

Finding them would be an effortless task.

Cell pulled a small box from his body and tossed it to Bulma.

"Bulma, this is the Time Machine. Its energy is depleted. I'm going to take care of those two Androids now; you get the energy recharged as soon as possible."

"Oh! Right, okay."

Cell had thrown the item so suddenly that Bulma, caught off guard, scrambled in a panic and nearly failed to catch it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cell shot straight up from the ground and chased after the direction of the marks.

The reason he let the Androids escape was that he didn't want to absorb them in front of Bulma.

He was afraid Bulma might discover something amiss.

After all, he still had to rely on Bulma to recharge the Time Machine.

What if Bulma noticed something and refused to recharge the Time Machine for him?

Therefore, to be safe, Cell decided to let Android 17 and Android 18 run away.

Then, he would find a different place to absorb them both.

Of course, there was a second reason.

He was afraid that if one Android saw the other being absorbed by him, the survivor might choose to self-destruct.

If that happened, wouldn't all his hard work be for nothing?

And now, with them fleeing separately, it played right into Cell's hands.

After a while, Cell sensed that the marks had stopped moving.

Soon, a barren mountain appeared before Cell.

The aura of the marks was located right inside this mountain.

Android 17 sat down against the wall of the cave, having little strength left.

Cell's strike had left him severely wounded.

His internal organs were riddled with damage, and almost every bone in his body had cracks of varying sizes.

He felt as though he were on the verge of death.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

The sound of footsteps was exceptionally clear in the silent space.

Android 17 braced himself against the wall and stood up.

He stared vigilantly at the cave entrance, energy gathering in his hand, glowing with a dangerous light.

Android 17's pupils constricted violently.

Although he hadn't seen the intruder yet, he saw a tall, strangely shaped shadow.

The shape of this shadow matched the physical characteristics of the monster that had just wounded him perfectly.

Whoosh.

The moment Cell appeared at the cave entrance, the energy blast gathered in Android 17's hand was fired at him without reservation.

Android 17 roared, "Die! You ugly freak!!"

The energy formed a massive beam of light, filling the entire entrance of the cave.

"Heh heh heh heh heh—"

Facing such terrifying energy, Cell not only felt no fear, but he even laughed out loud.

Cell faced the energy beam head-on, neither dodging nor weaving.

Just as the terrifying energy was about to strike him, he finally moved.

Slap.

Cell swiped his hand, and the energy beam took a sharp ninety-degree turn right in front of him, shooting straight into the sky.

Cell licked his lips; he couldn't wait to taste this delicious meal.

The tip of his tail glinted with a cold light.

He said no more.

Cell flashed instantly to appear beside Android 17.

Severely wounded, Android 17 no longer had the strength to resist.

The tip of the tail behind Cell's back immediately expanded into the shape of a large bell.

"What are you doing?!!"

Android 17 screamed in terror.

"Hehehe~ Become my nourishment!"

The bell-shaped tail, like the gaping maw of an ancient beast, swallowed Android 17 whole.

"Ah!!"

A massive surge of energy flooded into Cell's body, forcing a roar from his throat.

The energy scoured his entire frame.

Cell felt his body growing stronger at an incredible speed.

"BOOM!"

Cell's body erupted with a blinding white light as a colossal aura burst forth from within him.

The terrifying pressure instantly leveled the mountain into a flat plain.

A sphere of white light hovered in the air.

Gradually, the light receded, revealing a robust physique within.

Having absorbed Android 17, Cell had finally reached his semi-perfect form.

In this semi-perfect form, Cell's appearance was more human, and his facial features were much more defined.

"Power, such immense power! Hahahaha!"

After transforming, even Cell's laughter sounded significantly more refined.

Feeling the formidable strength surging within him, Cell felt he was already invincible.

Even if he were to encounter the Android 18 from the previous timeline, he could defeat her with ease.

His combat power had now reached eight billion—a full tenfold increase.

Having experienced the wonder of his semi-perfect form, Cell could hardly wait to absorb Android 18 and reach his perfect form.

If his semi-perfect form was already this powerful, how invincible would he be in his perfect form?

Cell took off at random.

With his strength greatly increased, his speed was absurdly fast.

In less than two minutes, he found Android 18.

He repeated the same process.

He quickly swallowed Android 18 as well.

Android 18 didn't even have the ability to resist.

"BOOM!"

A power even greater than before was born within Cell.

A terrifying aura erupted from his body.

In an instant, gale-force winds howled, and a green aura burst from Cell, forming a light barrier that expanded outward.

Everything in the path of the barrier was destroyed.

Trees, boulders, and even mountain peaks could not escape.

Crackle! Crackle!

Terrifying bolts of lightning danced inside and outside the barrier.

The entire Earth, and even the entire solar system, was shaken by this power.

The terrifying aura spread throughout the entire galaxy.

Every living creature trembled because of it.

On Earth, the ground shook and mountains swayed; landslides, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions followed one after another.

Bulma, who was busy working on the energy for the Time Machine, was knocked to the ground by the sudden earthquake.

"What's going on? Could the androids be back?"

She listened carefully, but heard no sounds of explosions.

"No, it feels like an earthquake."

Bulma hurriedly gathered her things and ran to an open area.

Stepping outside, they were met by a massive crowd gathered in the open.

The sky above was shrouded in dark clouds, with terrifying bolts of lightning churning through the heavens.

It was a scene straight out of the apocalypse.

Everyone stared at the sky in silence, the atmosphere heavy and suffocating.

Bulma didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, the celestial anomaly didn't last long.

Ten minutes later, the sky returned to normal.

Blue skies and white clouds reappeared, and bright sunlight shone down upon them once more.

It was as if the strange phenomenon from moments ago had been nothing but a hallucination.

Whoosh.

Bulma suddenly felt herself enveloped by a shadow and turned around.

"Huh? (•ิ_•ิ)? Who are you, handsome?"

Before he could answer, Dia ran over from not far away, his face full of excitement.

"Lord Cell! You must be Lord Cell!"

Cell nodded. "Mm."

The crowd erupted.

The handsome man before them was actually Lord Cell!

In their memory, Cell had been a rather crudely designed individual.

But this handsome man, while retaining a similar silhouette, had facial features completely different from before; anyone who saw him couldn't help but exclaim, "So handsome!"

Bulma looked at Cell curiously and asked, "How did you end up looking like this?"

Cell chuckled lightly. "Nothing much. My strength had a breakthrough, and my form became more perfect as a result."

"Oh!" Bulma had a sudden realization, then thought of something else and hurriedly asked, "What about the Androids?"

"I have already eliminated them."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted once again!

"The damned Androids have finally been wiped out! The war is over! Long live Lord Cell!!"

"Lord Cell is so cool!"

"Lord Cell, I love you."

"Lord Cell, I want to have your babies!"

"Lord Cell, I want to fence with you..."

"..."

Wait! Something strange seemed to have snuck in there!

Cell watched the humans cheering, hugging, and weeping with joy, thinking to himself.

If Trunks knew that this timeline had been molded into my image, how would he feel?

He would definitely be very excited, right?

After all, I am the one who saved this timeline!

Hehehehe~
