Action

The air was getting colder and colder, and with the high speed we were moving, the wind felt like knives cutting into our faces.

Android 17, Trunks, Vegeta, and Piccolo all shivered involuntarily, but even so, they did not give up and continued to chase after Wuling Cell.

"We're here! We're almost there!"

Seeing the azure ocean, Wuling Cell's eyes lit up, like a drowning person seeing the shore, making him desperately want to grab it.

"Protective Barrier!"

Wuling Cell erected a Protective Barrier and plummeted into the sea, a Spiral Destructo Disc forming in his palm. He turned and hurled it at Trunks.

Bang! Bang!

Trunks, Android 17, fired Energy Blast into the seawater, creating two towering sprays of water!

Call out!

Wuling Cell's Spiral Destructo Disc through the water and hurtled towards Trunks!

"It's that Destructo Disc again..."

Vegeta arrived shortly after, condensed a Energy Blast, and Spiral Destructo Disc.

Just as Trunks was about to pass through as before, Android 17 grabbed his arm and pulled him backward. To Trunks ' astonishment, the Spiral Destructo Disc exploded, and countless sharp blades spread and spun erratically.

Glug!

Trunks swallowed hard. If he had walked through the dust cloud after the explosion like before, even as Super Saiyan, he would have been crushed by the dense, sharp blades, just like the Destructo Disc.

Vegeta and Piccolo arrived one after the other, stopping beside Android 17 and Trunks until the Spiral Destructo Disc completely dissipated.

"The Spiral Destructo Disc, Android 16 mentioned that it's a technique created by Son Wuling, an upgraded version of the Destructo Disc. Besides Son Wuling, his disciple Videl also knows it. During Ultra Instinct Domain, Son Wuling almost killed Number 18 with this move. I didn't expect Cell to know it too."

Android 17's words made Trunks, Vegeta, Piccolo nod in agreement.

"Um... I..."

Trunks was about to thank Android 17, but the despair he lived in made him unable to utter a word when he saw Android 17's face. His fists clenched involuntarily, and he was caught in a deep struggle and inner turmoil.

"Oh, you seem to really dislike me!"

Android 17 spoke calmly, glancing at Trunks with interest. He found Trunks ' reaction strange, but he didn't pay it any mind. After all, they weren't familiar with each other and were only fighting together temporarily.

Trunks wanted to say yes, but the anger in his heart was simply uncontrollable. His hatred for Android 17 and Number 18, even knowing that they were not from the same timeline, remained unchanged. Filled with inner turmoil and struggle, he could only utter three simple words in the end.

"Sorry!"

Vegeta looked at the calm sea and felt a surge of resentment. This ocean, which covers more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface, had now become Wuling Cell's sanctuary.

"Damn it, he got away again! Ugh..."

Vegeta removed his sunglasses and continuously condensed Energy Blast in his palms, bombarding the sea surface in rapid succession. In an instant, the seawater boiled, and the sound of the Energy Blast exploding created towering waves.

Piccolo, Android 17, Trunks also took off their sunglasses, watching Vegeta vent his frustrations alone!

At this Mount Paozu, Son Goku returned from New Namek Instant Transmission. Following Son Wuling's instructions, he temporarily entrusted the Four-Star Dragon Ball to Dende, Nail, and Elder Moori for safekeeping.

At this moment, Son Gohan, Android 16, Videl were in Son Wuling's living room. Chi-Chi and Ox-King had also come over, since Son Wuling was sick and things were quite important.

"Goku!"

"Dad!"

Chi-Chi and Son Gohan called out after seeing Son Goku.

"Um!"

Son Goku laughed and said, "I'm back! I've done what Wuling asked and placed the Four-Star Dragon Ball on New Namek. Gohan, let's go together!"

"Okay, Dad..."

Son Gohan came to Son Goku's side and grabbed his arm. Just as Son Goku was about to Instant Transmission away, Chi-Chi called out to Son Goku.

"Goku, Gohan... you must come back safely!"

After Son Gohan decided to integrate martial arts and philosophy, Chi-Chi was less opposed to Son Gohan training. However Krillin, regarding Son Gohan's studies, she hoped that Son Gohan, pursuing martial arts while not neglecting his academic knowledge, rather than like Son Wuling, Son Goku, Yamcha.

"Okay, Chi-Chi..."

With a final, hearty laugh, Son Goku Son Gohan vanished Instant Transmission, reappearing beside Vegeta, Trunks, and the others.

"Goku!"

"Mr. Goku!"

"Kakarot!"

"Son Goku!"

Piccolo, Trunks, Vegeta, and Android 17 exclaimed in unison upon seeing Son Goku and Son Gohan suddenly appear.

"Mr. Goku, how is Mr. Wuling?" Trunks asked hurriedly.

Son Goku replied, "It's alright now, Trunks. With your medicine and the help of Shenron, he's fine. He's just too tired and fell asleep. He should wake up in about ten days."

Vegeta felt a strange sense of relief upon hearing Son Goku's words, but outwardly he sneered, "Hmph, I thought Son Wuling was going to die from some kind of Heart Virus again. I haven't gotten my revenge yet. One day, I'll make that bastard wear women's clothes too. I believe his face would be even more interesting in women's clothing."

Vegeta's words resonated with Son Gohan, Piccolo, Son Goku in a strange unison, who thought, "You haven't given up yet? Besides, isn't this your own skirt, Vegeta? Aren't you afraid of getting humiliated by Son Wuling again?"

"Hey, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, where are they? Oh right, and Cell? How's that? That really mixed aura I felt earlier, that must have been Cell, mainly composed of Wuling Cells!"

Son Goku looked around at the vast ocean and quickly asked...

Piccolo replied, "We saw Cell. Even though we were well prepared, he still got away. He's green, and his face looks a lot like Son Wuling's. He looks like a five or six-year-old child. He's very cunning, inherited Wuling's talents, and has almost learned all of Wuling's moves, plus our cells plus Frieza's father's."

"All techniques... Uncle Piccolo, could it be that Uncle Wuling's Spirit Immortal School is also...?"

Son Gohan was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth.

"Impossible..."

Piccolo directly refuted Son Gohan, replying, "The Spirit Immortal School isn't something you can learn just by watching it a few times. Without specialized guidance, it's impossible to master! It's not something you can achieve through mere training."

Trunks said to Son Goku, "Krillin and the others seem to have left. It looks like they left because of something! Mr. Goku, Cell has escaped. What should we do next?"
