Training Paid Off, Ready to Slay the Demons

Son Goku touched a finger to Trunks's forehead, and a new cultivation method appeared in Trunks's mind.

Son Goku said, "What I just passed on to you is a method for cultivating Godly Power. If you want to learn Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin, you first need to cultivate Godly Power and develop incredibly precise control over your mental energy. Only then can you form and control Sword Energy, using the vast ki within your body to unleash Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin."

Trunks nodded. "Uncle Goku, it sounds like learning Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin really is difficult."

Son Goku smiled. "Of course. I poured a great deal of thought and effort into developing that ultimate technique."

Trunks nodded.

Son Goku said, "You must take cultivating Godly Power seriously. It's crucial for mastering another Super Saiyan transformation."

Trunks asked, "Uncle Goku, are there other Super Saiyan transformations?"

Son Goku said, "Of course. This transformation is called Super Saiyan God, but it's still too early for you. Focus on perfecting Super Saiyan 2 first, then work on Super Saiyan 3. Don't reach beyond your grasp."

Trunks nodded. "I understand, Uncle Goku. I've already mastered full-power Super Saiyan 2."

"Oh, really? Transform and let me see," Son Goku said.

"Okay, Uncle Goku." With a loud shout, Trunks transformed into a Super Saiyan 2.

Son Goku nodded at the sight. "Well done, Trunks. You took far less time than I expected."

Trunks said, "That's all thanks to your teaching, Uncle Goku."

Son Goku said, "Your talent isn't bad, either. But since you've already mastered full-power Super Saiyan 2, it's time for us to leave."

Trunks said, "Uncle Goku, I'd like to try transforming into a Super Saiyan 3."

Son Goku said, "There's no need to try. Your power level is still too low to meet the threshold for Super Saiyan 3."

"Oh, really?" Trunks said, disappointed.

Son Goku said, "Don't be disappointed, Trunks. The next stage of your training will depend on your mother's ingenuity. We won't need the Hyperbolic Time Chamber anymore."

"All right, Uncle Goku. Let's head out, then!" Trunks said.

Son Goku nodded, and the two left the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Mr. Popo, who had been waiting outside, walked over when he saw them. "Goku, why did you come out early?"

Son Goku said, "Mr. Popo, our training paid off, so we came out ahead of schedule."

Mr. Popo said, "I see. Are you confident you can deal with the Androids?"

Trunks said, "Don't worry, Mr. Popo. With my current strength, killing the Androids will be as easy as crushing an ant."

Mr. Popo said happily, "Wonderful! Earth can finally be at peace again."

Son Goku nodded. "Well then, Mr. Popo, we'll see you later."

Mr. Popo nodded. "Goku, Trunks, good luck."

Trunks nodded, and Son Goku took him back to Bulma's home using Instant Transmission.

Bulma was operating a piece of equipment when she heard a voice behind her. "Bulma, long time no see."

Bulma turned and saw Son Goku and Trunks standing behind her.

She said, "Goku, Trunks, you're back."

Trunks said, "Mom, our training paid off, so we finished early."

Bulma nodded and covered her nose. "Go take a bath first. I'll get some food ready for you."

Seeing her reaction, Son Goku and Trunks sniffed themselves and nearly passed out from the stench.

They immediately went to wash.

After their baths, the two got dressed. Bulma had the food ready, and the three sat down to eat.

Bulma asked Son Goku, "Goku, how did Trunks's training go? Can he defeat the Androids?"

Trunks swallowed his mouthful of food before answering, "Don't worry, Mom. With my current strength, I can wipe out the Androids with a flick of my hand."

Bulma looked at Son Goku.

Son Goku said, "Trunks is right. Even if this world's Vegeta and Son Goku came back to life, they couldn't beat him now. They might not be able to beat him for a very long time."

Bulma said, "That's wonderful, Trunks! Thank you so much, Goku."

Son Goku said, "With how close we are, there's no need to thank me. You're treating me like a stranger."

Bulma smiled. "Goku, watch what you say. Trunks might get the wrong idea."

Trunks simply kept his head down and ate.

Son Goku smiled. "I meant our friendship of over a decade. What were you thinking, Bulma?"

Bulma laughed and scolded him. "Why, you! I never thought you'd be such a smooth talker, Goku. The Goku from our world was much more honest."

All three burst out laughing.

After the meal, Son Goku and Trunks went to a deserted area.

Trunks released his ki to draw the Androids in.

A short while later, the two Androids took the bait and flew over to land before Son Goku and Trunks.

Son Goku studied Android 18. With her long golden hair, fair skin, beautiful face, full breasts, long, slender legs, and supple, narrow waist, she was an absolute knockout. It was hard to associate her with a monster who killed without blinking.

Android 17 looked at Trunks. "What's this? Done hiding, Trunks? Have you come out to die? We haven't had our fill of fun yet."

Trunks said, "Androids, today is the day you die. I'll kill you myself and avenge my friends and family, along with all the innocent people you've murdered."

"Hahaha! Are you still dreaming, Trunks? You think you can do it? You're a rat who could only hide, fleeing in panic like a stray dog whenever we hunted you down!" Android 17 laughed.

Android 18 smiled. "Or is that pretty boy beside you giving you courage?"

Trunks said, "Uncle Goku won't interfere. I alone am enough."

Android 17 looked at Son Goku, then said in surprise, "You're Son Goku? Didn't you die of a heart condition?"

Son Goku said, "That's right. I'm Son Goku. Androids, your lives end here."

Android 18 let out a bell-like laugh. "Hahaha! You and that useless Trunks beside you? Since you've come back to life, you should have kept your head down and scraped together a living in hiding. How dare you come barking in our faces? You're asking to die."

Son Goku said, "What a shame. Such a beautiful exterior, yet it hides a demonic soul like yours."

Android 18 laughed. "Hahaha! Thanks for the compliment. To show my gratitude, I'll send you to the Underworld free of charge."

Son Goku shook his head and told Trunks, "Go ahead, Trunks."

Trunks nodded, transformed into a Super Saiyan with a loud shout, and charged at the two Androids.
