"I know!"
Son Goku put away his usual playful demeanor and answered seriously, even his voice growing 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, walking over with boundless curiosity and a thirst for knowledge!
Yamcha said, "They're even keeping it from us! What are they doing?"
"Who knows? Maybe it has something to do with Krillin?" Son Wuling crossed his arms. He had guessed right, yet not entirely right, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
The blonde girl led Piccolo, Vegeta, Krillin, and Son Goku to an open area some distance away.
The blonde girl raised a transparent silver barrier around them, startling Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin!
Son Goku examined the spherical barrier, which had a diameter of at least twenty meters. 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.
"Ah, it's like the Protective Barrier set up in Wuling's family cellar!"
The blonde girl nodded and said, "Sorry for startling you. I was worried my dad might overhear, so I put up a Protective Barrier!"
"Your dad?" Krillin asked curiously.
The blonde girl nodded and answered with a smile, "That's right. Ah, Uncle Goku, you don't seem worried at all. By the way, Uncle Goku, have you learned Instant Transmission from the Yadratians yet?"
"Instant Transmission..."
Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin looked toward Son Goku.
Son Goku nodded and smiled. "Yeah, you even know about that! Ah, wait, you just called me Uncle? Could you be...?"
The blonde girl nodded in response. "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 dad!"
"What..."
Vegeta, Krillin, Piccolo, and Son Goku cried out in shock. If not for the Protective Barrier, their voices would have practically echoed through the entire mountain forest! Even Son Wuling and the others far away could see the exaggeratedly shocked expressions on Vegeta and Son Goku's faces.
Yamcha looked at Son Goku, Vegeta, and the others inside the Protective Barrier and said, "What happened? What did that girl say? She actually scared Piccolo so badly his face turned green!"
Son Wuling crossed his arms and immediately quipped, "Piccolo's face has always been green!"
"Ah... haha... sorry, haha..." Yamcha laughed awkwardly. Piccolo, inside the Protective Barrier, promptly sneezed!
"Hm, strange. How could I catch a cold?" Piccolo gently rubbed his nose, but since he did not feel any discomfort, he did not think much more 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 the freedom of being single? How strange. He actually has a daughter in the future!"
Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin nodded in agreement. Even Vegeta, despite not having spent much time with Son Wuling, had been deeply impressed by him. He was an incredibly powerful Earthling; it would not have been an exaggeration to say he had single-handedly raised Vegeta's standards for Earthlings.
"Then Rose, did you come here from the future because something serious forced you to travel into the past?" Krillin asked after recovering, concern in his voice.
"That's right..."
The blonde girl, Rose, nodded. "In three years, two Androids will appear on an island near South City and wreak destruction everywhere. One of them is Dr. Gero. In order to achieve immortality, he transformed himself into an Android. But those two aren't the main issue. 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 rested his thumb beneath his chin, deep in thought. At the mention of Androids, the first thing he thought of was the Red Ribbon Army.
"That's right, the Red Ribbon Army that Uncle Goku and Dad wiped out. Although you destroyed the Red Ribbon Army's forces and bases, Dr. Gero, one of its core figures, survived. The Androids he researched were meant to kill Uncle Goku and Dad," 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 once been a female colonel in the Red Ribbon Army, so 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 Uncle Goku and Brother Gohan can become Super Saiyans now, neither of you would be a match for even one of them!"
"Wow, I never thought Earth had experts like that!" Son Goku clapped excitedly. Unlike the somewhat frightened Krillin, Son Goku and Vegeta had no fear whatsoever toward the Androids that would soon appear. Even Piccolo rubbed his fists together. 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 ignited within Son Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo was extinguished by Rose's single sentence! That sudden twist nearly threw their backs out.
"Ah..."
Son Goku: "Android 18, and Wuling!"
Vegeta: "Hmph!"
Piccolo: "What made you specifically travel through time from the future to come here?"
For some reason, Krillin felt relieved. He understood why the blonde girl, Rose, had not called Son Wuling over to join their conversation, 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 a trace of pressure. That pressure made them feel fear, as if they had encountered their natural predator.
"In the future, Lord Zeno and the Grand Minister appointed me as a Destroyer Angel. A Destroyer Angel's duty is to correct distorted timelines and return them to their original paths. 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 spoken by the blonde girl, Rose, left Vegeta, Son Goku, and the others completely baffled. If Son Wuling had heard them, it would have caused a tremendous uproar.
"It's too early for you to know about those things. They would be of no use to you. Uncle Goku, Uncle Vegeta, Uncle Piccolo, Uncle Krillin, I have seen many distorted Parallel Spacetimes. At last, it was our world's turn. But Mom, just like Dad, tricked me. She deliberately gave me the wrong time for Uncle Goku's return. It made me furious."
The blonde girl Rose thought of how she had solemnly declared that she could foresee the future, only to be immediately proven wrong. She remained indignant over it.
"Now, I have finally waited for this day. I truly came from more than twenty years in the future of this main timeline. My existence now is inevitable in this world."
"Next, I need Uncle Goku and the others' help. Otherwise, I might never be born, and an incorrect Parallel Spacetime may come into existence."
After saying that, the blonde girl Rose deliberately looked at Krillin, leaving him utterly confused. He did not understand why she kept looking at him. He had a feeling that her words had been directed specifically at him.
