In the blink of an eye, the year was Age 767.
The Android Saga.
Deep in a forest in the north of Earth.
Dr. Gero's laboratory was hidden there.
It was here that he had created the Androids.
In the battle in South City earlier, Android 19 had already been destroyed by Super Vegeta.
After barely escaping, Dr. Gero, who had become Android 20, had no choice but to release the dangerous Androids 17 and 18.
"I really don't want to wake them up. I hope the remote can keep those two under control."
Just as Vegeta, Piccolo, and the others were still searching through the mountains for the laboratory.
Whoosh!
A dazzling, multicolored streak flashed across the sky.
A transparent cube landed steadily atop a mountain near the laboratory.
"Thank goodness! I made it just in time!"
A handsome man in a black-and-red martial arts uniform stepped out.
His golden hair stood on end, and his eyes were golden as amber. A golden tail was wrapped around his waist.
His aura seemed perfectly natural. Not a trace of energy escaped him; he blended seamlessly with his surroundings.
It was Wang Shen, who had come from the God of Destruction Realm.
Time had no meaning during cultivation!
Because he had broken through to Super Saiyan 2, he had missed the battle three years ago, when Frieza had invaded Earth.
That was why he had only managed to hurry over now.
"Coming all this way from the God of Destruction Realm was worth it. This Shuttle Cube I got from Whis really is a divine mode of transportation. It's fast and smooth."
Wang Shen waved his hand, and the Shuttle Cube vanished at once. Then he looked toward the laboratory.
"Perfect timing. Android 18 has just been released, and she hasn't lost that intimate kiss yet."
"My Dragon Ball goddess is still pure."
Unlike the other fighters,
Wang Shen could sense even the energy signatures of the Androids.
It was all thanks to the time he had once spent studying on Planet Yardrat.
He had learned many special techniques.
For example:
Instant Transmission: sense someone's energy and instantly appear where they are.
Vacuum Technique: a white glow surrounds the body, allowing him to survive in a vacuum.
Concealment Technique: as the name suggested, it concealed his aura so others couldn't easily sense him and expose his location.
Mind Sense Technique was a technique Wang Shen had specifically learned to deal with the Androids.
He used his innate psychic perception to sense fighters who had no aura.
In essence, it was what ordinary people called a sixth sense or instinct.
"Hm!?"
Wang Shen suddenly spoke and looked back.
"Looks like Vegeta and the others are about to find this place, too."
"I should get moving."
"The time has come. The main character makes his entrance! Oh-ho!"
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shen vanished from where he stood.
Inside the laboratory.
Dr. Gero had just released Androids 17 and 18.
A handsome man with his hair parted down the middle and a red bandana around his neck.
Android 17, Lapis!
A cool beauty with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a tall figure.
Android 18, Lazuli!
Lapis's older sister.
Wary of the remote in Dr. Gero's hand,
Androids 17 and 18 were politely greeting Dr. Gero, forcing themselves to say things they didn't mean despite their disgust.
The remote could shut down all of their mechanical functions.
It could also detonate the bombs inside them!
"Oh! Are you greeting me?"
Dr. Gero asked in surprise.
"Of course. You're our biological father, after all."
"It's only natural."
Androids 17 and 18 replied.
At the same time, they discreetly glanced at the remote in Dr. Gero's hand.
Well, duh! If you're holding the 'ultimate truth,' that makes you our dad, doesn't it?
At their words, Dr. Gero finally let out a breath of relief and smiled.
"Wonderful! It looks like I really have repaired you two!"
"Yes, it's so good to see you in time!"
A loud voice suddenly rang out.
The laboratory had been occupied by only three people, but somehow a fourth had appeared.
It was Wang Shen!
Handsome and striking, with an imposing air!
Most importantly, a blond had made his entrance!
"Hello there. I'm not too late, am I?"
"Who are you!? How did you suddenly appear in my laboratory?"
Dr. Gero wasn't in nearly as good a mood as Wang Shen. He immediately demanded an explanation.
Wang Shen smiled faintly.
"Me? I'm a good person."
"As for why I'm here, I just felt like showing up."
Wang Shen was utterly casual, paying Dr. Gero no mind.
To be fair, that old geezer had gotten really ugly after turning himself into an Android!
Neither human nor ghost.
Wang Shen grumbled inwardly.
Wang Shen's attitude infuriated Dr. Gero.
"Damn you!"
The observant Android 18 noticed the golden tail wrapped around Wang Shen's waist and warned him.
"He's a Saiyan."
"That's right, I'm a Saiyan—and a Super Saiyan, too. Didn't you notice?"
Wang Shen looked at 18, brushed his golden hair, and smiled.
Compared with Son Goku and Vegeta's Super Saiyan auras, his was far calmer and more natural.
So the three of them hadn't even realized he was a Super Saiyan!
Huh!?
Dr. Gero suddenly snapped to attention.
His intelligence had finally returned to the high ground.
"What, did Vegeta send you to stop me?"
"Too bad. You're already too late."
Dr. Gero curled his lips into a triumphant smile and immediately gave the order.
"17, 18, attack! Kill him!"
"I'd say my timing is perfect."
Wang Shen raised an eyebrow and looked at 18 again.
Looking at a beauty was a lot more pleasant than looking at an old man.
"They seem a lot stronger than you. Are you sure they'll obey your orders?"
Dr. Gero said confidently:
"Of course. I created them, and I've repaired them."
"Stop struggling in vain and trying to escape. You can blame Vegeta for sending you here to die."
Wang Shen pursed his lips and mocked him.
"Foolish confidence."
"Looks like rebuilding yourself has rusted your brain."
That Saiyan Prince could only command one Saiyan now: himself.
Dr. Gero glanced at Androids 17 and 18, urging them to attack at once.
Androids 18 and 17 exchanged a helpless look.
Honestly,
her first impression of this Saiyan was pretty good.
His handsome looks, confident and easygoing smile, and harmonious, natural aura.
They could instinctively make most people feel drawn to him.
Beautiful women naturally liked handsome men best.
Had 18 even spared that ugly old man Dr. Gero a second glance?
But...
Whoosh!
A sharp rush of air rang out. In the end, 18 and 17 sprang into action, charging at Wang Shen.
They moved swiftly, attacking from both sides.
In the blink of an eye, they were right in front of Wang Shen.
Just as 17 swung his fist, about to strike Wang Shen's face—the face he found so loathsome—
Wang Shen blurred out of sight, easily dodging their attacks.
He moved so fast that the three of them couldn't even see how or where he had gone.
The difference between an ordinary Android and a Full Power Super Saiyan was like the difference between heaven and earth.
What's more,
Wang Shen's state was different from that of a conventional Super Saiyan.
Perhaps because of his golden eyes, unlike the ordinary emerald-green ones, his power boost reached a hundred times his base strength.
And because he focused on training his fundamental strength and physical toughness instead of single-mindedly pursuing a stronger transformation,
Wang Shen's true fighting power far exceeded what he appeared to show.
Wang Shen was confident that his Full Power strength was no weaker than Son Goku and Vegeta's Super Saiyan 2 forms.
"You're too slow. You won't be able to touch me like that."
Wang Shen's voice came from behind Dr. Gero.
"Let me guess."
"They're only obeying you because of this thing, right?"
Wang Shen raised his hand, proudly displaying the remote in it.
He wasn't about to let Dr. Gero keep holding it and using it to threaten 18.
Dr. Gero turned pale with shock, a deep sense of unease rising in his heart.
A huge red warning sign appeared above Dr. Gero's head.
"When did you—!?"
This Saiyan was far too fast!
