Super Perfect Form

In the underground laboratory, Dr. Gero was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. His voice shot up several octaves as he stared at Future Cell in disbelief and roared:

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Seeing Future Cell dare to spout such nonsense and offend Dr. Gero, the present Cell immediately saw a chance to suppress his rival and barked:

"How dare you speak to Dr. Gero like that!"

"You idiot. You're about to die, and you're still working for someone else."

Future Cell cast him a contemptuous glance before continuing to expose Dr. Gero.

"When I came here from the future and found you, I told you what had happened in the future and shared some of my own ideas."

"On the surface, you praised me and immediately began modifying the androids. But deep down, you were filled with unease. You realized that no matter how powerful the androids you created became, it would never compare to making yourself stronger."

"So you secretly modified your own body, turning it into something capable of absorbing other androids."

"But you still didn't trust your own calculations, so you sent Android 13, Android 14, and Android 15 out on missions, then ordered me to absorb them."

"You're too cautious, too afraid of dying. Even though I had already become perfect a year ago, you still couldn't put your mind at ease."

Future Cell's words were like swords piercing deep into Dr. Gero's heart, drawing a faint sheen of sweat from his highly mechanized body.

The present Cell had calmed down as well. He no longer interrupted Future Cell, silently pondering his words.

With his hands behind his back, Future Cell strolled leisurely through the laboratory, paying no attention to the changes in the other two.

"After returning to the laboratory this time, even if the present Cell said nothing, you would have taken the initiative to let him absorb the remaining four androids."

"Only after that idiot evolved into a perfect form would you truly feel at ease. I suppose these three days were actually time you reserved for yourself to absorb the two of us."

Dr. Gero's expression changed drastically before slowly returning to normal. After a while, he began clapping and laughing.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"Kehehehehe! As expected of Future Cell. Everything you said was correct. I'm curious—how did you figure it out?"

"If you tell me, I'll try to be gentler when I absorb you."

As soon as Dr. Gero finished speaking, a long tail sprang from his backside, looking exactly like the tails of the two Cells.

"Because I think exactly like you do!"

Future Cell no longer hid himself. Baring his fangs, he smiled chillingly. "How could I possibly be satisfied with merely absorbing a few androids?"

"I'm going to absorb both you and the present Cell!"

"I agreed to let the present Cell be born partly to gain your trust more easily, and partly because that idiot was more suitable for me than the other androids."

"Both he and I possess Namekian cells."

The present Cell finally understood their conversation. His eyes were about to split with rage, murderous intent surging from him. So he was the only fool, toyed with by both sides.

"You two bastards are too scheming! You both wanted to absorb me?!" The present Cell burned with fury and immediately struck first.

Dr. Gero remained calm as he lightly pressed the red control button on the supercomputer.

The present Cell suddenly lost control of his body. He could not move at all, his face still frozen in a savage expression.

"Kehehehe, I installed hidden controllers inside both your bodies long ago. Otherwise, how could I have allowed you to become this powerful without worry?"

"I don't just want revenge for the Red Ribbon Army. I will use the power of science to create a new Red Ribbon Army a hundred times stronger than before!"

Dr. Gero's face twisted as madness gradually consumed him. His obsession with revenge and ruthless determination mingled together, making him look terrifying.

"Oh, is that so?"

In a flash, Future Cell appeared behind Dr. Gero. His tail curved like a spear, aimed at the back of Dr. Gero's head.

"Impossible! How can you still move? Why can you still move?!" Dr. Gero's hysteria barely concealed the fear in his heart.

Seeing Dr. Gero, who had nearly gone mad after such a rapid plunge from triumph to despair, Future Cell felt no sympathy whatsoever. Instead, he teased him.

"I quietly removed the control device long ago. You didn't think you were the only genius scientist in this world, did you?"

"No, you can't absorb me! I created you and gave you life. I'm your father!" Dr. Gero begged desperately.

"Father?"

Future Cell laughed heartily. "Hahahaha! I've always taken from you without ever thanking you. So this time, use your life to make me whole!"

Future Cell opened his enormous tail and swallowed Dr. Gero, who was still struggling desperately.

The present Cell could not move from where he stood. The fury in his heart was about to explode, yet he could only watch helplessly as he too was absorbed.

"This feels incredible!"

Future Cell shouted as his aura soared without end. Energy ran wild within his body; one moment he swelled to an enormous size, the next he shriveled like a deflated balloon.

This continued for two full days. At the final moment, Future Cell's terrifying aura reached its peak, and dense cracks appeared across the laboratory's protective barrier.

Boom!

With an earth-shattering explosion, Dr. Gero's laboratory and its protective barrier were blasted to pieces.

A sphere of green light enveloped Future Cell's entire body, making him shine brighter than the sun.

Future Cell's violent aura shot into the sky, causing the entire Earth to tremble continuously and triggering earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions of varying severity across many regions.

Kame House had already been half-submerged by seawater, and Krillin, Master Roshi, and the others were frantically draining it.

"Only two days have passed, and Cell has become far too terrifying!" Chiaotzu's little face was deathly pale, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

"Just sensing that aura fills me with a despair that feels impossible to resist." Yamcha's clenched fists had gone white.

"Did Android 18 really meet such a terrible fate?" Krillin was both furious and heartbroken.

Trunks, Piccolo, and Tien Shinhan had searched for two whole days, combing through the mountains around the northern region, but they had not found Dr. Gero's base.

"Where is it?!" Tien Shinhan shouted. That direction was far too far from them.

"What kind of terrifying monster did that madman Dr. Gero create?!" Even with Piccolo's immense strength, his heart pounded with alarm, and he had a very bad feeling.

"Can the ultimate form of an android really become this terrifying?"

Trunks thought of his own timeline, where Cell had not yet appeared. The first thing he would do upon returning was kill Android 17 and Android 18. He absolutely could not allow something so terrifying to happen in the future as well.

If he could return to the future alive, that was.

Future Cell's aura continued to expand, swiftly surging beyond Earth and into the boundless cosmos!

On the planets near Earth, every person and animal froze, staring blankly at the sky without knowing what had happened.

On Namek, the newly appointed Grand Elder Muri wore an expression full of worry. "What kind of evil aura is this? If this continues, the entire universe will be thrown into turmoil!"

Future Cell looked at the body he had evolved into, a super perfect form. His refined features were filled with extreme coldness and confidence as he could not help but sigh.

"So powerful. Even I never imagined I could become this perfect. My arduous journey from the future back to the past was not in vain!"

"I only hope Son Goku and the others aren't too weak. Otherwise, killing them won't give me any sense of accomplishment at all."
