Boom!!

The planet rumbled as a semicircular crater appeared in the ground.

Thud~

Frieza slowly landed, looking down at Cell's battered body. His tail shot out, wrapped around Cell's neck, and lifted him up.

"Ho ho ho, I haven't even put any effort into it yet. Don't tell me you're going to die this easily?" Frieza asked mockingly.

Cell struggled to open his eyes. The way he looked at Frieza had completely changed, and fear now showed in his gaze.

"Y-You... who exactly are you?!" Cell asked in horror.

"Did I knock your brains loose too? How rude. Then let me give you a simple introduction."

Frieza grinned and said softly, "My name is Frieza, the Emperor of the Universe. Remember that?"

Cell stared blankly at Frieza, still unwilling to believe that he had actually lost to a Frieza whom Trunks had once defeated in an instant.

Thud~

Frieza tossed Cell's broken body onto the ground, then bowed respectfully. "Lord Li Wei, I have subdued this person. Do you have any further orders?"

"No. Good work, Frieza. You may return," Li Wei said.

"Then I'll take my leave." After speaking, Frieza immediately used the spacetime power granted to him by Zagi's Wings and teleported back to Frieza Planet.

Li Wei crouched down and poked Cell, asking teasingly, "Have you accepted it now? If not, I can find you another opponent. How about it?"

Cell looked at Li Wei in terror, though deep in his eyes, unwillingness and fury remained hidden.

Through mind reading, Li Wei understood what Cell was thinking. He shook his head and said, "Looks like you still haven't accepted it. That makes things simple."

Buzz~

Li Wei raised a hand and healed Cell, then brought him back to Earth.

Noah's Temple.

Li Wei summoned Son Goku and the others.

"Li Wei, why did you call us here?" Son Goku asked doubtfully.

Vegeta glanced at Li Wei before his gaze settled on Cell. Sensing the complex aura coming from him, Vegeta's brows furrowed slightly.

"Cell! Why are you in this world?!" Trunks stared at Cell in shock.

Cumber looked Cell up and down, disdain immediately appearing in his eyes. He snorted. "So you're a mongrel."

Cell glared viciously at Cumber upon hearing that.

Cumber smiled contemptuously and clenched his fist at Cell provocatively. "What, not convinced? Then come fight me!"

"Cell, you probably know most of the people here already, so I'll introduce the ones you don't."

Li Wei pointed at Cumber, then at Broly, who was still quietly training in the distance, and introduced them separately. "This is Cumber, and that one over there is Broly. Neither of them is an ordinary Saiyan."

"Let me introduce Cell to everyone as well. His name is Cell, a traveler from another spacetime. He is the ultimate android created by Earthling Dr. Gero. His strength is passable, I suppose."

Li Wei looked at Trunks, who was staring at Cell gravely, and smiled. "Trunks, you should be no stranger to this Cell. Do you remember your final battle against Cell back then? You won that time, but different spacetimes naturally have different outcomes."

"This Cell came from the spacetime where he won that final battle."

At those words.

Trunks's eyes widened at once, and he asked anxiously, "Then what happened to everyone in that spacetime?!"

"What do you think?" Li Wei countered.

Trunks immediately understood. He glared viciously at Cell and roared, "Cell, you bastard!"

"Trunks, do you know this guy called Cell?" Son Goku asked curiously.

Vegeta snorted. "Didn't Lord Li Wei make it perfectly clear just now?"

"This Cell should come from the same spacetime Trunks experienced in the past, only with a different ending."

As he said this, Vegeta's gaze turned cold as well. He had roughly guessed that the spacetime where Cell won probably had not ended well.

Cell blankly swept his gaze over the familiar yet unfamiliar people present before finally looking at Trunks.

"Trunks, are you that Trunks from the future? And why did you come to this spacetime?" Cell asked in confusion.

"Cell, tell me—what exactly did you do to everyone in your spacetime?!" Trunks clenched his fists and demanded furiously.

Cell grinned. "Haven't you already guessed? Why ask when you know the answer?"

"Cell, I'm going to kill you!" Flames of rage ignited in Trunks's eyes as he transformed directly into Super Saiyan Blue!

"What?!"

Seeing a transformation he had never witnessed before, Cell's eyes widened in utter shock.

Whoosh!

Trunks flashed in front of Cell and blew apart half his body with a single punch!

"Cell, go die!!" Trunks kicked Cell's lower half away, then raised his hand and began gathering energy...

"Magic Flash!!"

BOOM!!

A golden ki blast shot forth, blasting Cell to pieces!

Seeing Cell destroyed, Li Wei clapped and smiled. "Trunks, after killing Cell once, the anger in your heart should have been vented, right? If not, then kill him again."

Snap~

Li Wei raised his hand and snapped his fingers, directly reversing time and reviving Cell.

The newly revived Cell still looked shaken. He clearly remembered what had just happened.

"Tr... Trunks... You've actually become this strong!" Cell looked at Trunks with mixed emotions, while a fire ignited in his heart!

He had originally thought that his Perfect Form was the pinnacle, but he had never expected Saiyans to be able to raise their power to such heights. Since he possessed Saiyan genes as well, then he could surely do the same!

"Lord Li Wei, why did you revive Cell? He's a demon!" Trunks was completely baffled.

Li Wei said, "Trunks, Cell's existence may indeed bring disaster to the world, but his strength can also be used to protect it."

"Killing him won't solve anything. The humans he killed won't come back to life either. Rather than that, it's better to keep him alive and have him contribute something to this universe to atone for his sins."

"But... Lord Li Wei, from what I know of Cell, he'll never willingly submit to someone else. He'll definitely try every possible way to escape your control!" Trunks urged.

"Then we'll talk when he can beat Broly," Li Wei said.

"Lord Li Wei!" Trunks still wanted to persuade him.

"Trunks, shut up!" Vegeta suddenly cut in, rebuking Trunks.

"Dad!" Trunks turned back and looked at his father in confusion.

Vegeta glanced at Cell and grinned viciously. "Lord Li Wei is right. Killing him won't solve anything. Better to keep him around. My hands have been itching for a fight—he's a perfect punching bag!"
