Earth's Current Situation, the Strongest Android

Another year passed. Gamos spent his days and nights researching technology, not just Earth's, but constantly traversing the universe to collect the technical knowledge of every planet he encountered.

Over this past year, Gamos's own cultivation had not progressed an inch, yet he felt it was all worth it.

Because at this moment, under Gamos's modifications, Android 17 and Android 18 had been transformed into Super 17 and Super 18.

Android 17's transformation was the same as in Dragon Ball GT, but unlike the original, the Super 17 modified by Gamos possessed even greater power.

According to Gamos's calculations, the combat power of a Super Saiyan 3 should be between 10 billion and 80 billion, while a Super Saiyan 4 should range from 100 billion to 800 billion.

As for the Super Saiyan 4 Limit Break state, there was no way to calculate it precisely due to a lack of reference data; after all, once one reached Super Saiyan 4, every subsequent breakthrough was equivalent to crossing a major realm.

The combat power of Super 17 had already reached a terrifying 900 billion, and 18 was roughly the same.

Such horrifying combat power nearly scared Son Goku and Vegeta to death the moment it was revealed.

Vegeta, in particular, nearly had a mental breakdown.

He had worked so hard to cultivate, constantly breaking through his limits, yet his combat power was still stuck at 9 billion. Now, 17 had simply taken a nap and his combat power had hit 900 billion—that was a 100-fold difference!

However, the only consolation was that this was the end of the road for technology. If they wanted to improve further, they would need various insights or other opportunities, things that required personal cultivation.

As for whether there were other methods, Gamos wasn't sure. In Dragon Ball Super, there was a universe skilled in mechanics where a powerful robot was created through fusion, but that was pure technology, not an android. Gamos scoffed at it; if it wasn't even human, what was the point of becoming stronger?

Currently, the strongest combatants on Earth were Android 17 and 18, followed by the two fake Saiyans capable of transforming into Super Saiyan Blue: Krillin and Yamcha.

As for Launch, her combat power was unknown; once she used her full strength, she would go berserk and become difficult to control, so she had been focusing on cultivating her mental power during this time.

On this day, Gamos walked out of the laboratory with another person following behind him.

"Woo-haha, I, Mr. Hercule, am finally the strongest person!"

Hercule struck a triumphant pose and subconsciously reached for his championship belt, only to realize he wasn't wearing it.

But it didn't matter; he was now the true, undisputed guardian of Earth.

That's right, this was the Android 19 modified by Gamos: Mr. Hercule.

This man was incredibly famous, known as the strongest human on Earth (excluding martial artists).

His ability to rally others was particularly notable; during the Majin Buu arc, it was Hercule's influence that allowed Son Goku to gather the Spirit Bomb to destroy Majin Buu.

Therefore, Gamos had snatched Hercule and turned him into 19. With such power, Hercule would surely be unable to resist the urge to show off and broadcast his fame far and wide.

If Hercule, as a mere mortal, could make all of Earth his fanboys, then as an android, it wouldn't be too much to make the entire universe his fanboys, right?

At this moment, Hercule was no ordinary android, but a Super 19 with a combat power as high as 90 million—equivalent to the peak of a standard Super Saiyan 4—which would surely shock everyone.

The moment Hercule appeared, he flew directly over a densely populated city to show off.

Gamos didn't stop him; he let him do as he pleased.

Vegeta stood on a mountain peak, watching Hercule in the distance, unable to stop himself from gritting his teeth.

The guy was clearly a piece of trash with a combat power of less than 50, yet in just one week, he had gained the ability to crush Vegeta with a single finger. Who could keep their cool after that?

"Vegeta, you need to keep your composure. I still want to get stronger with you."

Seeing Vegeta's gnashing teeth, Son Goku couldn't help but offer some comfort.

"Hmph, I think you just feel weak yourself and want someone to keep you company!"

Vegeta gave him a look that said he saw right through him, expressing his disdain.

As the proud Prince of all Saiyans, how could his mentality break so easily? They were just androids; they might have a high starting point, but their ceiling was low.

Once he broke through to Super Saiyan 4, he would have the power to fight. If he broke through to Super Saiyan 5, let's see who dared to defy him.

Super Saiyan 6, let's see who's cooler than me; Super Saiyan 7, I'd even dare to ride a God of Destruction; Super Saiyan 8, I'll make everyone call me Daddy.

Being a Saiyan meant being this proud; as a warrior race, there were no limits.

Son Goku, having his intentions exposed, wasn't annoyed. He simply dragged Vegeta away to continue training, striving for an early breakthrough.

Their base combat power was now terrifying, long since exceeding the standard for transforming into a Super Saiyan 3. Since their bottlenecks hadn't broken, the two could only continue training to increase their base strength.

At Mount Paozu, Piccolo was holding a book, looking at it with a sense of hopelessness.

In front of him was a little girl who looked very similar to Kefla, appearing to be about three years old.

"Uncle Piccolo, when can I finish my knowledge lessons? I really want to go train and become stronger."

"Only when you can control your heart will you be allowed to train. Your talent is too terrifying; once you go berserk, no one can control you."

"You must build a solid foundation from a young age and cultivate your mental power well. That is the path you must take."

This little girl was none other than the cultivated Cell, but unlike the original, this Cell was a clone of Kefla and had been given her own name: Xiaoyin.

Ever since she was cultivated, Gamos had tossed her directly to the expert nanny, Piccolo.

And so, Piccolo began taking care of his second "child."

During their time living on Mount Paozu, Son Gohan often came over to play, and naturally, Xiaoyin became Son Gohan's little sister.

Life on Earth was very peaceful now. Sometimes, Gamos really wanted to put down his work and just enjoy life to the fullest.

Just as he finished his year of work and planned to take a vacation, the Time Ring on his finger suddenly began to vibrate.

Gamos then began to sense the other parallel timelines through the Time Ring.

However, it was one thing not to look, but another to be startled by what he saw.

The past is history that can be reviewed, and the future is the unknown that can be predicted; only the present can be changed, for otherwise, new parallel worlds would be created.

Yet now, the past and future of all parallel worlds had been locked away. This was a miraculous energy—not a seal cast upon them, but a fundamental alteration of the very rules of space and time.

In the current space-time, while one could still enter the past and future, the worlds traversed were merely illusions, like phantasmal projections. It was no longer possible to change history and generate new timelines.

How could this be? Who on earth did this? I cannot even tell if it is a blessing or a curse.

Gamos, who had just been looking to relax, felt his mood grow heavy once more.

At the same time, Gamos used the Time Ring to cast his mental energy across several timelines at random, only to discover a truly tragic space-time that he had to visit immediately.
