The Future Destroyer Angel

"I know!"

Son Goku put away his usual playful demeanor and answered seriously, even his voice turning much colder.

Piccolo followed after him. Krillin glanced curiously at Son Wuling, not quite understanding why he had been called over, but he quickly jogged after them.

"Hmph..."

Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest and snorted, then walked over with endless curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

Yamcha said, "You're even keeping it from us! What exactly are you doing?"

"Who knows? Maybe it has something to do with Krillin?" Son Wuling crossed his arms. He had guessed right, but not entirely. He had no idea what was about to happen.

The blonde girl led Piccolo, Vegeta, Krillin, and Son Goku to an open area in the distance.

The blonde girl raised a transparent silver barrier around them, startling Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin!

Son Goku examined the spherical barrier, which was at least twenty meters in diameter. He could sense that even the ground beneath them had been cut off from the outside world! Yet he did not seem worried at all.

"Huh, it's just like the Protective Barrier in Wuling's basement!"

The blonde girl nodded and said, "Sorry for startling you. I was worried my father might hear us, so I put up a Protective Barrier!"

Krillin asked curiously, "Your father?"

The blonde girl nodded and replied with a smile, "That's right. Huh, Uncle Goku, you don't seem worried at all. Oh, Uncle Goku, have you learned Instant Transmission from the Yadratians yet?"

"Instant Transmission..."

Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin looked at Son Goku.

Son Goku nodded and smiled. "Yeah, you even know about that! Huh, wait, you just called me Uncle? Could you be...?"

The blonde girl nodded and replied, "Of course. Uncle Goku, Uncle Vegeta, Uncle Krillin, Uncle Piccolo, my name is Son Rose. I came from more than twenty years in the future, and that Son Wuling over there is my father!"

"What..."

Vegeta, Krillin, Piccolo, and Son Goku shouted in shock. If not for the Protective Barrier, their voices would have nearly echoed throughout the entire valley forest! Even Son Wuling and the others far away could see the exaggeratedly shocked expressions on Vegeta, Son Goku, and the other two.

Yamcha looked at Son Goku, Vegeta, and the others inside the Protective Barrier and said, "What happened? What did that girl say to turn Piccolo's face green from fright?"

Son Wuling crossed his arms and immediately quipped, "Piccolo's face has always been green!"

"Ah... hahaha... sorry, hahaha..." Yamcha laughed awkwardly. Piccolo, inside the Protective Barrier, sneezed as well!

"Hm, strange. How could I catch a cold?" Piccolo lightly rubbed his nose, but since he did not feel any discomfort, he did not think further about it.

"Y-You're Son Wuling's daughter?!"

Son Goku stared at the blonde girl, Rose, in disbelief! In his mind, no news could have been more shocking than Son Wuling having a daughter!

"Strange. Wuling actually got married and had a child? Didn't he always talk about pursuing martial arts and enjoying the freedom of being single? How strange—he actually has a daughter in the future!"

Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin nodded in agreement. Even though Vegeta had spent little time with Son Wuling, Son Wuling had left a deep impression on him. He was an incredibly powerful Earthling; it would not have been an exaggeration to say he alone had raised Vegeta's standards for Earthlings.

"Then, Rose, did something serious happen in the future that forced you to come back to the past?" Krillin came to his senses and asked worriedly.

"That's right..."

The blonde girl, Rose, nodded and said, "Three years from now, two Androids will appear on an island in South City and wreak havoc everywhere. One of them is Dr. Gero. To achieve immortality, he transformed himself into an Android. But those two aren't the main problem. What matters are Android 17 and Android 18, whom Dr. Gero created!"

"Androids? Like Eighter? But didn't Wuling and I destroy the Red Ribbon Army?" Son Goku propped his chin up with his thumb, deep in thought. Upon hearing about Androids, the Red Ribbon Army was the first thing that came to mind.

"That's right, the Red Ribbon Army that Uncle Goku and my father destroyed. Although you wiped out the Red Ribbon Army's forces and bases, Dr. Gero, one of its key figures, survived. The Androids he researched were meant to kill Uncle Goku and my father." The blonde girl, Rose, answered.

Gulp!

Krillin swallowed. He had personally experienced the era when the Red Ribbon Army had dominated the world. Violet had even been a female colonel in the Red Ribbon Army before. No wonder she had been hunted down back then.

Krillin asked uneasily, "Are they strong?"

The blonde girl, Rose, nodded. "Very strong. Android 17 and Android 18 are twin siblings. Even if you and Gohan can become Super Saiyans now, neither of you would be a match for even one of them!"

"Wow, I never thought there'd be experts like that on Earth!" Son Goku clapped excitedly. Unlike the somewhat frightened Krillin, Son Goku and Vegeta had no fear whatsoever toward the Androids who were about to appear. Even Piccolo rubbed his hands together eagerly. He had thought there would be no more enemies after Frieza.

After deliberately glancing at Krillin, the blonde girl, Rose, said, "And Android 18 is my mother!"

Silence...

The fighting spirit that had just flared up in Son Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo was extinguished by Rose's single sentence! The sudden twist nearly threw out their backs.

"Huh..."

Son Goku: "Android 18, and Wuling!"

Vegeta: "Hmph!"

Piccolo: "What made you specifically travel through time from the future to come here?"

Krillin inexplicably felt relieved. He understood why Rose had not called Son Wuling over to talk with them, but he did not understand why Son Wuling's future daughter had called him over as well.

The smile vanished from the blonde girl Rose's face. Her serious expression somehow made Son Goku and the others feel pressure. That pressure brought them a trace of fear and dread, as though they had encountered a natural predator.

"In the future, Lord Zeno and the Grand Minister granted me the position of a Destroyer Angel. A Destroyer Angel's duty is to correct disrupted timelines and return them to their original course. Timelines that cannot be corrected and collapse as a result will be destroyed by a Destroyer Angel. That is my duty."

"Lord Zeno? The Grand Minister?"

The two names Rose mentioned left Vegeta, Son Goku, and the others utterly confused. If Son Wuling had heard them, he would have been completely shaken.

"It's too early for you to know about that. It would be of no use to you. Uncle Goku, Uncle Vegeta, Uncle Piccolo, Uncle Krillin, I've seen many disrupted Parallel Spacetimes, but it has finally become our world's turn. In the end, Mom and Dad both played tricks on me. They deliberately gave me the wrong time for Uncle Goku's return. It makes me so mad."

The blonde girl, Rose, thought about how she had solemnly claimed she could foresee the future, only to be immediately proven wrong. She still felt indignant about it.

"Now, I've finally waited for this day. I truly came from more than twenty years in the future of this main timeline. My existence now is an inevitability of this world."

"Next, I need your help, Uncle Goku. Otherwise, I may never be born, creating an incorrect Parallel Spacetime."

After saying that, the blonde girl Rose deliberately glanced at Krillin. Krillin felt baffled. He did not understand why she kept looking at him. He had the feeling that Rose's words had been specifically meant for him.
