The Strongest Cell

"Kamehameha, ha!"

"Big Bang Attack!"

Ginyu swung his fists, hammering the two away. As the Vegeta-Goku Duo flew backward, they unleashed their ultimate techniques, sending two blue energy waves roaring toward Ginyu.

Ginyu gathered emerald energy in his hands and fired back with a roar. The two energy waves collided, and for a moment, neither side could gain the upper hand.

Watching the stalemate, Launch was already itching to join in; watching others fight was never as satisfying as having a go herself.

"Gamos, I want to fight too!"

Launch turned her gaze toward Gamos. With her strength, if she joined the fray, the other three wouldn't last a single slap, but she really wanted to throw down.

"Don't even think about it. Your strength is too great; you have few rivals left."

"Then can't you create an android stronger than me?"

An android even more powerful than Launch, a fused Saiyan? What a joke. Unless, of course, the Cell inside the laboratory were to awaken.

Originally, Gamos had intended to destroy this Cell embryo directly. The potential of this Cell was too terrifying, and he wasn't confident he could control it. However, looking at the bored and invincible Launch, Gamos hesitated.

The enemies they would face in the future would only grow stronger. Could he really snuff them all out in the cradle every single time?

If one dared not face a powerful foe, could such a Saiyan truly be considered part of a warrior race?

One had to remember that the entire Dragon Ball saga was themed around burning passion. Facing invincible enemies, performing miracles time and again, and turning the impossible into the possible—even if it was just plot armor—still proved that the protagonist grew stronger under the crushing weight of these powerful foes.

Facing a strong enemy, constantly pushing one's limits, and breaking through oneself—that was the true essence of a warrior race.

With this thought, Gamos finally made up his mind to cultivate Cell.

"Hey, are you even listening to me?"

Launch was dissatisfied. How could he just zone out while she was talking?

"Ah, sorry. I heard you say you wanted me to create an android stronger than you, and I was just thinking about whether or not I should actually create that Ultimate Android."

Ultimate Android—this was the first time Launch had heard the name, and she was instantly intrigued.

Gamos then described Cell to her.

"That's how it is. It fuses the cells of numerous Earth martial artists, along with Saiyan cells. You can imagine how terrifying it will be once it grows up."

As he spoke, Gamos's expression turned grave and solemn. Launch, however, was incredibly excited.

For some reason, Gamos caught a glimpse of that blockheaded Son Goku from Dragon Ball Super in her.

Could it be that all Saiyans, once they reach a certain level of power, lose their intelligence and become battle-crazed idiots?

Compared to the Son Goku of Dragon Ball Z, the one in Dragon Ball Super could truly be called brainless—a point that had sparked quite a bit of controversy on the internet back in the day.

Forget it, never mind that. Let's deal with Cell first.

Watching the three fighting fiercely in the sky, Gamos had no intention of stopping them. Since they wouldn't be deciding a winner anytime soon, he would let them fight it out.

Returning to the underground laboratory, Dr. Gero was still lying in a corner, unconscious.

At this point, Dr. Gero was still just an ordinary human; he hadn't yet modified himself into an android, so he was incredibly fragile.

Gamos sent a single energy wave to finish him off, leaving not even a speck of dust behind. He was all about being environmentally friendly.

Opening the secret passage, Gamos and Launch entered a more secluded laboratory. In the center sat a massive nutrient tank filled with green fluid, with a tiny infant embryo floating inside.

"Huh? A human embryo? What's going on? Shouldn't it look like a bug?"

Gamos immediately began pulling up data from the computer, using various instruments to scan the embryo.

However, the results left Gamos stunned.

"How is this possible?"

"What's wrong?"

Gamos stared at the scan results in horror, his eyes shifting as he looked at the embryo in the nutrient fluid. Should such an existence really be allowed to live?

If it grew up, even he, the Legendary Super Saiyan, would likely have to kneel before it.

The computer screen displayed that after the Kefla cells were injected, the entire platform had undergone a cataclysmic change.

Kefla's tyrannical cells had directly devoured all the other cells, utilizing their characteristics to perfect themselves.

There were two types of Kefla cells injected: one from the normal Kefla, and one from when she had used an experience card to forcibly transform into a Super Saiyan 4.

According to a theory in Dragon Ball, every time a Saiyan breaks through, their bloodline undergoes a sublimation.

The two types of Kefla cells Dr. Gero had collected each had their own advantages.

In terms of raw power, the SSJ4 cells were stronger but unstable. Yet, the SSJ4 cells had actually devoured the ordinary Kefla cells, gaining both immense power and stability.

Not only that, but it had also consumed the divinity of the Super Saiyan Blue cells, as well as the cells of other martial artists, allowing it to directly acquire various skills.

Such innate conditions were simply explosive.

It was equivalent to a fused Kefla transforming into a Super Saiyan 4 and then having a child; one could only imagine the talent such a being would possess.

One only had to look at the talent of Son Gohan and Son Goten to understand. Because their father's strength was different when they were conceived, one required training to become a Super Saiyan, while the other transformed just by playing around.

At this moment, Cell was, from a certain perspective, a clone of Kefla—an optimized clone at that.

"Sigh, forget it. Compared to those transmigrators who possess systems, your innate conditions don't seem like much at all!"

Thinking of the guy he would have to deal with in the future, Gamos still decided to nurture the other party.

Gamos's hands tapped away at the computer incessantly, deleting all the information that had been input into Cell's brain, leaving behind only the various skills and techniques, before he was finally satisfied.

Only a blank sheet of paper could be painted upon at will; when the time came, he would toss this cloned little baby to Piccolo, and he believed the Namekian would surely raise this future hero well.

"How is it going?"

Launch asked curiously.

"Rest assured! In another month, this embryo will finish developing, and we can just come to pick him up then."

Just as things were finished here, the sounds of fighting outside had also vanished; it seemed the battle was over, though there was no telling who had won in the end.

Returning to the upper laboratory, Gamos casually injected energy samples and then opened the stasis pods of Android 16, Android 17, and Android 18, waking the three Androids directly.

"Wow, there's actually a woman here!"

Looking at Android 18, who was also a great beauty, Launch finally saw a second powerful, beautiful girl and suddenly felt as if she had found a kindred spirit.
