Son Wuling and the others had been waiting outside the Protective Barrier for over an hour now, yet that blonde girl still had not finished talking with Son Goku and the others!

"What's going on? Why are Piccolo, Vegeta, and Krillin looking at me like that? Did I do something so outrageous in the future that heaven and earth would condemn me?"

Son Wuling felt utterly baffled. It seemed as though they were deliberately hiding something from him. Could it be that, as an anomaly who originally should not have existed, he had caused some change and they were planning to eliminate him?

Son Wuling now felt the same fear of the unknown that Yamcha, Piccolo, and the others had felt earlier. He had a secret: he did not originally belong to this world. Especially since that girl who looked so much like Android 18 had deliberately set up a Protective Barrier to prevent eavesdropping. Combined with the looks Vegeta, Krillin, and Piccolo had given him, it made him think of all this, leaving him deeply troubled.

"Hey, what is that big sister doing to my dad?"

Son Gohan's words interrupted Son Wuling's thoughts. Under everyone's watchful eyes, inside the Protective Barrier—inside the Protective Barrier—the blonde girl Rose released a stream of dense silver ki from her fingertip. It flowed like water as she sent it into Son Goku's body.

Inside the Protective Barrier, the blonde girl Rose said, "Uncle Goku, your viral heart disease is gone, so you do not need to worry anymore. In about a year, my dad will develop a move called Soul Eye. Not only can it see the condition of your own body, it can also see the state of another person's soul. Uncle Goku, I'll be counting on you to teach my dad then!"

Son Goku was very serious as well. "I understand. I'll definitely learn Soul Eye then. I won't let Wuling die again!"

Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Son Wuling outside the Protective Barrier. "Hmph. So in one Parallel Spacetime, Son Wuling and even Kakarot died from viral heart disease."

"Rather than viral heart disease, it would be more accurate to call it a Heart Demon."

Piccolo crossed his arms and smiled. "Wuling is one thing, but I never expected even you, Goku, to have something like a Heart Demon."

Son Goku smiled awkwardly. "Heh heh... Maybe Wuling and I made some mistake during our training at some point. But I absolutely will not let Wuling die again."

By the end, Son Goku's tone was firm and earnest. The scene on Namek had never left his mind, and even thinking about it made him angry!

The blonde girl Rose glanced at Vegeta, her mood somewhat low. "There was another spacetime where the viral heart disease did not flare up until three years later. But Uncle Piccolo, Uncle Vegeta, and Uncle Goku, all of you were killed by the Androids. My dad endured the torment of the viral heart disease and worked with the last Saiyan warrior to kill my mom and uncle. In the end, at the cost of having his soul scattered, he perished together with the ultimate Android, Cell."

"Following my dad's final instructions, that last Saiyan warrior found Namek, and all the other Z Fighters were revived. But my dad's soul was already gone. It was not until much later, after Uncle Goku and Uncle Vegeta found the Super Dragon Balls, that my dad was revived!"

Because she had witnessed everything that happened in that Parallel Spacetime, the blonde girl Rose had been left with immense psychological trauma. Her father, Son Wuling, had killed her mother and uncle. Although her mother and uncle had been evil villains who committed every kind of atrocity, and Rose herself had not even existed there, it had still left her profoundly shaken. She had never been able to recover from it. Because of that, more than once, she had felt just how wonderful her own main spacetime was!

Moreover, she had deliberately not mentioned Son Gohan's name so that Vegeta would not grow suspicious. After all, Trunks's name did not exist yet. Even Piccolo had not noticed the implication in Rose's words and assumed the person she meant was Son Gohan.

Ding ding...

Suddenly, an alarm sounded from the watch on Rose's wrist, interrupting her thoughts.

"Oh no, it is almost time. Uncle Goku, I'm counting on all of you. You must be careful of Cell, the one based on my dad's cells. A future warrior from a Parallel Spacetime will be arriving soon too! I'll be leaving first."

The blonde girl Rose clenched her fists and gathered silver ki. A silver energy vortex formed before her, and her figure vanished into the silver energy passage.

"In another Parallel Spacetime, Wuling and Goku there both died of viral heart disease two years from now, while Android 17 and Android 18 ran rampant!"

Piccolo, Vegeta, Goku, and Krillin were still trying to process everything Rose had just said: Android 16, Android 17, Android 18, the ordinary ultimate Android Cell, and another Cell based primarily on Son Wuling's cells!

"My head is spinning. I don't even know how to explain this to everyone. The future, Androids... Oh, right, another Android will end up with Son Wuling in the future, hahaha..."

Krillin forced out an extremely awkward laugh. Clearly, his brain was not suited for matters that required this much thought. What Parallel Spacetimes, what future... Right, and a future Saiyan warrior from another Parallel Spacetime would be coming later too!

"It is easy enough to say, but how are we supposed to tell everyone without letting Son Wuling know? Otherwise, if we really create a Parallel Spacetime here because we did not let Son Wuling get together with that Android 18, then maybe this Parallel Spacetime of ours will be destroyed by her!"

This was what Piccolo was thinking about: the Destroyer Angel. He was thinking of what Rose had said about destroying timelines that could not be corrected. In other words, if Son Wuling did not get together with Android 18, there was a possibility that this world would be destroyed by Son Wuling's future daughter!

Vegeta felt the same way and nodded in agreement. Inside, he was completely dumbfounded. His thoughts were exactly the same as Piccolo's.

And the Destroyer Angel reminded him of a shadow from his childhood: Beerus, the God of Destruction. Both bore the name of destruction, so there was likely some connection.

"Didn't Rose just tell us what to do? Another future warrior from a Parallel Spacetime is coming soon. Because of his identity, he will definitely greet Wuling and me. When that happens, you can take the opportunity to explain the situation to everyone."

Son Goku's words made Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin stare wide-eyed. It was not that what Son Goku said was wrong. The problem was that Son Goku had been the one to say it.

"That's right. Rose came because Wuling is her father. Normally, he would be the most reasonable person to ask about Parallel Spacetimes and such. And Rose set an alarm just now, which means..."

As Piccolo's words fell, a spherical glass-domed aircraft suddenly appeared in the distant sky. Four energy blocks were mounted on it, making it look like a cannonball.

"Trunks..."

The instant Son Wuling saw Trunks in the distance, his heart jolted. Why had the original Trunks appeared again? If so, then what exactly was going on with that girl who looked so much like Android 18?

"He's here..."

Piccolo crossed his arms over his chest, but his gaze could not help drifting curiously toward Krillin. He could not understand why Rose had called Krillin over to speak with them as well.
