Everyone looked at Trunks in shock, and then at Goku.
"In my future, Uncle Goku dies of Heart Virus three years later."
Hearing Trunks say this, Goku was certain that this must be another timeline, and that he could no longer have a heart attack.
" Goku!"
Bulma clung tightly to Goku's arms. Goku looked up and saw that Bulma's eyes were filled with worry, so he quickly comforted her.
"Don't worry, I won't get a heart attack. That's me from another parallel universe."
After saying that, Goku ruffled Bulma's blue hair.
Bulma didn't understand at first.
What does it mean to be "me from another time and space"?
"Now that you've reached the level of Kami, you should know you can't get sick anymore, not to mention that I've reached the level of Grand Kai."
With Goku's prompting, Bulma finally understood and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, her Goku is alright.
However, just to be on the safe side, let's get Goku a full check-up when we get back.
Trunks, listening nearby, felt like his CPU was about to explode.
"Uncle Goku, what do you mean by another parallel universe?" Trunks asked quickly.
Simply put, the moment you traveled here, you didn't travel to the past, but to a parallel universe. No matter what changes you make, it won't affect your own universe.
Goku's words struck Trunks like a thunderclap.
How... how is that possible?
Aunt Bulma and Gohan are still waiting for my good news, waiting for Uncle Goku to be resurrected!
Aunt Bulma toiled day and night for over ten years, but in the end, was it all for nothing?
Goku looked at Trunks's dejected appearance and shook his head helplessly.
" Trunks, something terrible must have happened to you in the future?"
Goku's words instantly shattered Trunks's spirit, and his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
"Yes... yes, everyone's dead, only my brother Gohan and Aunt Bulma are left!!" Trunks gritted his teeth, all because of those two androids!
"What? We're all dead? How could this happen?" Aku asked, puzzled.
Trunks looked up at Aku with his slightly reddish eyes, only to find that he didn't recognize him.
"I don't know you. You're not in my future. I'm sorry."
Good grief, Trunks's saying... he's not dead and he's apologizing.
Goku smiled and looked at Aku. In Future Trunks ' timeline, Aku might have died much earlier.
Just a few years ago, during Cooler's invasion.
Now, he has some guesses about Trunks ' timeline.
Simply put, it's a timeline where he married Bulma, Vegeta married Tights, and Raditz and Nappa also survived.
The Goku in that timeline is the original Goku, but he might be much stronger than in the original story due to more training time and better physical conditions.
But that didn't change the fact that he ultimately died of a heart attack.
" Trunks, what's the reason?" Vegeta asked, somewhat annoyed.
After all, no one can be in a good mood if they know they're going to die.
Upon hearing his father's question, Trunks quickly began to explain.
"Two androids will appear in three years. They were created by Dr. Gero of the Red Ribbon Army, whom Uncle Goku previously defeated."
"They were incredibly powerful, even you, Father, were no match for them. They killed everyone. Now, only Gohan and I are left to barely put up a fight."
"I came back this time to save Uncle Goku, because Aunt Bulma and Brother Gohan both believe that as long as Uncle Goku is alive, the future won't turn out like this."
Vegeta, listening from the side, was extremely annoyed, but it was true that Kakarot was indeed stronger than him.
Goku listened to Trunks's explanation, he suddenly paused, "Future Gohan didn't die?" Goku quickly asked Trunks.
" Trunks, are you saying that only you and Gohan are left to fight back?"
"Yes, Uncle Goku, but Gohan lost an arm." Trunks nodded after hearing this.
After hearing this, Goku fell silent. Had he lost an arm?
It's better to lose your life than to lose it.
" Trunks, are you going back after you deliver the medicine?" Goku asked Trunks.
"Yeah! Future Gohan and Aunt Bulma are still waiting for news from me. Even though it's bad news, it's better than nothing." Trunks ' expression couldn't help but fall a little down.
"Looks like I made you come all this way for nothing. I won't get a heart attack in this timeline."
Goku looked at Trunks, whose expression was becoming increasingly downcast, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"However, please let me go with you to the future!"
"What!"
Trunks looked at Goku with a surprised expression.
Trunks was met with a smile and a nod from Goku.
"Wait a moment, let me say goodbye."
Goku turned his head to look at Bulma beside him.
" Bulma, I want to go to the future. I'll be back soon."
Bulma smiled and reached out to straighten Goku's slightly disheveled collar.
"Okay, be careful. Say hello to my future self for me!"
Bulma would be lying if she said she wasn't worried. How could she not be worried about Goku? Perhaps Goku's strength was enough to solve the problems of the future, but there's always an unexpected event.
What she feared most was an accident, but she didn't show it, not wanting Goku to worry.
Who is she? She's Bulma! Is she the kind of timid, hesitant woman?
"Uncle Goku, your strength..."
Trunks was interrupted by Goku before he could finish speaking.
Are you worried that I'm not strong enough to defeat an android?
Goku's expression betrayed his barely suppressed laughter, and the others also seemed about to burst out laughing; some people were actually worried about Goku's strength.
That's like asking someone who's taking a dump, "Are you here to take a dump?"
Trunks saw it too, scratched his head awkwardly, and nodded.
Just to be on the safe side.
"Alright, so what about now? Do you think I can't beat an android? And this is just my normal strength!"
Goku unleashed his own ki, controlling its pressure to press down on Trunks.
Wow, that's amazing! Even in its normal state, it's stronger than an android!
Trunks was sweating profusely, but his heart was filled with immense joy.
Great! Gohan and Bulma were right after all, there's hope for the future!
After Goku withdrew his ki, he said goodbye to the others and looked at Trunks again.
"Let's go, Trunks!"
"Okay."
Trunks, who had been in a daze, snapped out of it and quickly opened the cover of the Time Machine.
How magical! Uncle Goku didn't come back to life, but he brought back Uncle Goku from another time and space.
After the two flew into the Time Machine, the cover slowly closed, and Trunks, in a daze, activated the Time Machine.
"With Uncle Goku here, those androids are definitely doomed!"
Trunks, sitting in the Time Machine, clenched his hands tightly.
Dad, Mom, you can finally get your revenge!
(Let me ask for your opinions here. I've seen many people objecting to giving Android 18 to Krillin.)
My biggest regret in writing this book is that Goku and Bulma didn't end up together, so I wanted to make up for that.
One life, one love, one partner; half-drunk, half-awake, half-floating through life.
Isn't this good?
Why can't Goku and Bulma just love each other and stay together forever? Why did they have to bring in another person?
I can't give it to the main character; the protagonist only Bulma Dragon Ball. After all, there are too many Dragon Ball stories with multiple female leads. I want to try writing a single-female-lead story. If I finish this one, I'll write a new book next time. If it's still about Dragon Ball, it might have multiple female leads, and if it does, I'll definitely include Android 18, but not in this one. At most, I can only change it to Nappa or Raditz, or maybe it will remain single forever. It's up to you to decide.
Personally, I'd lean towards giving it to Krillin. After all, it's what he was originally going to accept, and the main character wouldn't accept it anyway, so it's better to give it to Krillin. Krillin has never done anything to wrong Android 18; at most, he named his daughter after his ex-girlfriend, and that name seems to be a translation, as there's a difference in the original Japanese.
