Lazuli's Wish

Son Goku and Son Gohan entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber; when they emerge, they will have undergone a world-shaking transformation.

Piccolo, Trunks, Krillin, and the others volunteered to track down Cell.

For the sake of safety, Wang Shen had Lazuli and Lapis remain at the Heavenly Temple.

Android 16 sat quietly on the plaza of the Heavenly Temple, observing the environment of the world below.

This was the first time Wang Shen had ever set foot on this Heavenly Temple.

The residence of the Earth's Guardian.

Although it was a far cry from the God of Destruction Realm, the unique design still drew a murmur of admiration from Wang Shen.

A bowl-shaped structure floated in the sky, suspended by nothing.

With human society developed to the point where all kinds of aircraft and satellites were everywhere, it was incredible that they had never discovered this building that stood apart from the world!

"What a truly miraculous structure!"

Wang Shen couldn't help but exclaim.

Wang Shen guessed that there must be a barrier set up around the Heavenly Temple.

It was just that the author hadn't gone into detail about that aspect.

Beside Wang Shen, Lazuli stood gracefully, fully displaying her sexy figure and elegant temperament.

A soft, beautiful smile appeared on her cold, stunning face.

"This is also the first time I've known that gods actually exist on Earth."

"Just a Guardian of Earth, nothing to make a fuss about."

Having lived with a God of Destruction and an Angel for thirty years, Wang Shen appeared quite dismissive.

If he wanted to, he could become the Guardian of Earth himself.

But.

"The greatest use of the Earth's Guardian is to ensure the existence of the Dragon Balls."

"Are those the Dragon Balls that are said to be able to grant any wish?"

Lazuli immediately asked with curiosity, a strange look in her eyes.

Wang Shen looked down at Lazuli and said:

"Yes, as long as you gather all seven Dragon Balls, you can have three wishes granted to the summoner."

"They can actually grant three wishes!"

Lazuli was surprised.

Wang Shen asked:

"Do you have any wishes you want to see fulfilled?"

Hearing this, Lazuli lowered her head and hesitated for a long time, not answering Wang Shen's question immediately.

Wang Shen naturally knew what Lazuli was thinking, so he didn't press her.

Instead, he quietly took Lazuli on a tour of the Heavenly Temple.

He didn't care about Lazuli's identity as an android.

If Lazuli herself truly cared, he could find a way to collect the Super Dragon Balls.

After all, he possessed the Shuttle Cube gifted to him by Whis; even if it were another universe, he could go there easily.

The only thing to worry about was Champa, the God of Destruction of Universe 6.

Seeing Lazuli suddenly feeling down, Wang Shen comforted her softly:

"It's alright, take your time thinking about your wish; we can go find the Dragon Balls whenever we want."

"I want to..."

Lazuli nodded gently and pursed her red lips, just about to say something when she was interrupted by Vegeta, who had come looking for them.

"Karotis, I have also trained to Super Saiyan Full Power. Let's fight again now; this time, you definitely won't be my match."

Vegeta's lips curled up into a wicked, confident smile.

The sky had cleared, the rain had stopped, and Vegeta felt he was back in the game.

He was confident that among Saiyans in the same form, he was undoubtedly the strongest.

Unfortunately, Vegeta didn't know the meaning of the phrase "playing the pig to eat the tiger."

Someone might look like a Super Saiyan 1, but in reality, they were a Super Saiyan 2!

But then again, Wang Shen's usual form was indeed Super Saiyan 1, but his base stats were so high that he was forced to rival a Super Saiyan 2!

Furthermore, unlike Vegeta's 80-fold multiplier for Full Power, Wang Shen's Super Saiyan form had golden eyes and a 100-fold multiplier.

With this, the gap in strength between Vegeta and Wang Shen had reached a point of heaven and earth.

Wang Shen first looked at the worried Lazuli with a comforting gaze and stroked her brilliant golden hair.

Only then did he look at the excited Vegeta.

"Fine, I have no problem with that."

In truth, Wang Shen had no desire to engage in a meaningless battle with Vegeta.

He had said it long ago.

Only when Son Goku and Vegeta fused into Vegito or Gogeta could they force him to go all out.

But Wang Shen also understood that with Vegeta at this moment, refusal was useless.

Only by making him face reality would he behave.

"Vegeta, let's fight somewhere else!"

Wang Shen flew off first, putting distance between them and the Heavenly Temple.

Otherwise, the shockwaves from his battle with Vegeta would destroy the place.

"Hahahaha!"

Vegeta let out a loud laugh and followed close behind.

Somewhere in the glaciers of the northern Earth.

Hidden here was another of Dr. Gero's laboratories.

This was his earliest research facility.

It was here that the kind-hearted Android 8, who had once helped young Son Goku, was born.

The long-dormant laboratory had finally regained signs of life just yesterday.

No one would have expected that Cell, desperate to evolve, had neither gone to the cities to consume humans nor sought out Android 17 and 18.

Instead, he had come to this desolate, uninhabited place.

Beep, beep, beep!

The computer was running at high speed, and the bottomless energy pool to the side was connected by three pipes as thick as a fist.

A constant stream of energy was being transmitted into the bodies of three robots.

Cell crouched quietly to the side, his narrow, vertical pupils staring at the three figures before him with immense greed.

"Faster, faster! It's almost complete!"

The cells within Cell were agitated, seemingly letting out hungry roars, frantically urging him to consume these three androids.

Android 13, Android 14, and Android 15!

Yes.

Cell had abandoned the plan to absorb Android 17 and 18 to evolve into his perfect form.

Because he couldn't do it.

He was too weak right now!

The existence of that strange Saiyan made him afraid to go near 17 and 18.

Thus, having no other choice, he returned to the laboratory where he was born.

He found the research notes that Dr. Gero had sealed away.

In those notes, he discovered the existence of the androids Dr. Gero had created in his early days.

The androids Dr. Gero made early on were purely mechanical, and they all possessed the characteristic of being able to absorb one another to evolve.

In the movie, it was by absorbing the power packs and computer chips of 14 and 15 that Android 13 transformed into Super 13.

Super 13 already possessed power at the peak of Super Saiyan 1.

Cell planned to absorb these three androids to drastically increase his strength, and then wait for an opportunity to absorb 17 and 18!

By then, even that Saiyan would be no match for him!

Beep!

As the computer stopped running, the energy reserves were fully charged.

Android 13, 14, and 15 were finally mature.

"Let us become one, and evolve together into the most perfect biological form!"

Cell did not choose to awaken them; his tail suddenly expanded.

It was as if a gluttonous maw had opened wide.

He swallowed the three newly matured androids into his body one by one!

At the same time, Cell's originally ugly exterior began to change rapidly.

His hunched, thin frame gradually straightened, becoming tall and powerful.

The tail behind him retracted, and a pair of wing-like organs sprouted forth.

His appearance gradually shifted to resemble that of a human.

Perfect Cell was born!

"Hahahahaha!"

A sinister grin of a successful scheme spread across Perfect Cell's human-like face; it was the release of long-suppressed tension!

"I shall complete the mission of killing Son Goku for you."
