"Let's wait here for a few minutes," Goku said, glancing at the group.
No one noticed that he had focused a wisp of his energy on Dr. Gero, not even Dr. Gero noticed.
All we need to do now is wait for Dr. Gero to release the androids, and then Instant Transmission there.
He could sense that wisp of energy was still moving.
" Kakarot, what big fish are you trying to catch? Aren't the two androids Future Trunks was talking about them?" Raditz asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, that's right. The androids Future Trunks was talking about aren't them. Our timeline and their timeline are ultimately different."
Goku nodded, and then continued speaking.
"Even the personalities of the androids from the two different timelines are different."
Are artificial humans different in personality?
The others were completely baffled. Could androids really have different personalities?
"The androids from the Future Timeline have already been released in this timeline, while the androids from our timeline are still imprisoned by Dr. Gero."
"The biggest reason is that the transformation wasn't completely completed; the two androids even retained their original human personalities."
"What? Human personality?"
"Of course, two of the remaining three androids still retain human bodies, unlike the previous one which was entirely mechanical."
"Those two androids were also forcibly captured and modified," Goku added.
"That Dr. Gero is truly despicable; he actually uses living people for modification!"
Bulma, being a scientist, despised this kind of person the most.
If it's voluntary, that's fine, since science always needs people willing to dedicate themselves to it. But coercion is extremely unethical.
"Hmm? It stopped."
While they were chatting, Goku suddenly sensed that his wisp of energy had stopped inside a mountain.
"What?"
Everyone was somewhat bewildered by Goku's sudden reaction. What had happened?
"Haha, it's nothing. I left a wisp of energy in that android, and now he's stuck in one place," Goku said with a laugh.
"Please wait here, I'll be right back."
Goku placed two fingers together between his eyebrows and Instant Transmission disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Sigh, Goku is still the same."
At this moment, inside Dr. Gero's base, a man and a woman were standing opposite Dr. Gero.
The girl was also holding something that looked like a controller.
"Old man, now that we have the controller, what other way do you have to command us?" Android 18 looked at Dr. Gero with a smile.
"Damn it, give it back to me! You're all so strong, it's all because of me!" Dr. Gero's face was rather grim.
Due to my carelessness, the controller was stolen by Android 18.
"Ha, do you think we willingly accepted your modifications?" Android 17 stared at Dr. Gero with a dangerous look.
Dr. Gero looked at Android 18 with a sense of unease.
He knew his current situation seemed rather precarious.
Just then, he felt as if his gaze had suddenly shifted upwards.
The person opposite, Android 18 17 or eighteen, looked at him with a terrified expression, when a familiar voice rang in his ear.
"Thank you for showing me the way, Dr. Gero."
Goku held Dr. Gero's head in one hand and retrieved the Ki Sword with the other.
He never shows mercy to bad people; killing them with a single blow is the greatest mercy he can show them.
"What?"
Dr. Gero watched as his own body slowly collapsed to the ground.
Sparks were still flickering and hissing from the cut on the mechanical body's neck.
Goodbye, Dr. Gero.
Out of the corner of Dr. Gero's eye, he saw the light on Goku's other hand growing larger and larger, drawing ever closer to him.
"No, no, no..."
Dr. Gero, still begging for mercy, disappeared from the world with what was essentially his own head.
After defeating Dr. Gero, Goku looked at Android 17 and Android 18 with a kind smile.
"You, you are Son Goku!" Android 18 looked at Goku with some fear.
The memories implanted in their minds naturally included the appearance of Son Goku.
The power that Goku displayed was too great; the ki he revealed in just a moment already showed Power Level of over a billion.
"Yes, I am Son Goku." Goku readily admitted.
"And I also know that Dr. Gero created you to kill me."
"Then why are you still here in front of us?" Android 17 looked at Goku warily.
Upon hearing what Android 17 said, Goku smiled indifferently.
"Why not? You want to kill me, but are you strong enough? Apart from Dr. Gero's orders, I have no grudge against you, have I?"
"Now that Grobbos is dead, is it still necessary for you to listen to him?"
"I also know you have a bomb inside you. My wife is a brilliant scientist; I can have her defused it for you, so you'll have nothing to worry about."
Upon hearing Goku's words, Android 18 exchanged a glance.
Yes, Dr. Gero is dead now. Killing Son Goku was just a sentence Dr. Gero said in his memory.
They are not robots and do not need to obey this statement.
"After you remove the bomb, go live the life you want. Wouldn't it be better to be a normal person? Forget those unpleasant memories of being an android."
"I don't want to lay a hand on you, because you are also victims."
Seeing that Android 17 and Android 18 seemed interested, Goku pressed his advantage and began to speak.
After Goku finished speaking, Android 17 and Android 18 made their decision.
Go be a normal person and live the life they want!
"Good!"
Android 17 and Android 18 simultaneously lowered their guard and nodded in response to Goku.
Looking at Androids 17 and Android 18, Goku felt gratified; yet another problem he solved with his talk-no-jutsu.
Is this the trouble of being the main character?
"Come with me."
"Wait, besides the two of us, there's actually another android in this base, but it's purely mechanical. Should we release it?"
Android 17, seeing Goku about to leave, spoke up to remind him.
Goku, having turned his head, was now just waiting for Android 17 to bring it up!
"Let him go!"
Having received Goku's approval, Android 17 walked to the hibernation pod next to him and opened the door.
As the hatch opened, a tall, green figure stood up from the hibernation pod.
" Son Goku!"
With a surprised roar, the green figure transformed into a blur and rushed towards Son Goku.
boom!!!
The sound of massive collisions echoed throughout the base.
Goku blocked the way, grabbed Android 16's arm, hoisted Android 16 onto his back, and then bent down and slammed him to the ground.
In an instant, countless cracks appeared on the otherwise hard ground.
"Hey, calm down. I know killing me isn't an order you have to complete!"
Goku stepped on Android 16's back, grabbed Android 16's arms with both hands and pulled him back, using a force as strong as lifting mountains and tripods to make him unable to move at all.
