"Hahaha…"
"Sister, wait for me! Wait for me!"
In the garden of the sanctuary, Yuujin, Bulma, and the other women were enjoying their afternoon tea, while Goteno and Trunksia flew around, chasing each other near the stone pavilion.
However, at that moment, a massive pillar of energy suddenly shot into the sky, causing the entire sanctuary to tremble violently from the shockwave!
"Ahhh…"
"W-what's happening?"
"Such a terrifying aura!"
"Waaah…"
The sanctuary was thrown into chaos as everyone felt an overwhelmingly evil and domineering energy emanating from Earth below.
The oppressive and malevolent energy was so intense that Yuujin, Gokumi, and the others turned pale, while the younger Goteno and Trunksia fell to the ground, crying in fear.
"Suno, Meizhen, take Goteno and Trunksia back to their rooms and look after them."
"Bulma, Tights, secure the sanctuary."
"Everyone else, follow me!"
Such a terrifying energy coming from Earth was an extremely serious situation. Yuujin quickly issued orders, then erupted with his aura and took to the skies with Gokumi, Chi-Chi, Vegea, Celipa, Android 18, and Dark Android 18, rushing toward the source of the energy.
Meanwhile, Bulma and Tights quickly returned to their posts, activating the highest-level planetary alert. Instantly, loud and urgent alarms echoed throughout the sanctuary and across Earth.
"A-alert?"
"What's happening?"
At first, the people on Earth were completely bewildered, unaware of what was happening. But soon, they too sensed something unusual—
"E-earthquake?"
"Ahh… ahhh…"
"W-what an evil aura!"
"Everyone, hurry to the shelters!"
Ordinary people felt the ground beneath them shaking and thought it was an earthquake, but those who could sense energy—martial artists and powerful individuals—were terrified, their faces pale with fear.
Why would such a terrifying and evil aura appear on Earth, a planet protected by the gods?
Although no one fully understood the situation, everyone realized that a great danger had arrived. People rushed to nearby shelters in panic, and the entire planet was thrown into chaos.
"Ahhhhh!!!!!"
On a small island, Cell continued to recklessly amplify his energy.
The violent energy radiated from Cell in all directions, causing the ground to shake and the oceans to churn!
"Stop this!!!"
Even Android 16, who was usually calm and composed, tried to stop Cell but was blown away by the raging energy currents.
With a series of loud booms, Android 16 got up and looked back, only to see a massive wave over a hundred meters tall rushing toward them.
If this continued, the entire island would be submerged, and all the animals on it would die. He couldn't let that happen!
"Ha!!!"
At the critical moment, Android 16 unleashed his energy and quickly created a protective barrier covering the entire island. The enormous wave crashed down, engulfing the barrier.
The sky darkened as if the island had been swallowed by the sea. The raging waves continuously slammed against the barrier, producing thunderous roars, while the animals on the island trembled and cried out in fear.
This was the first time Android 16 had created such a large barrier, and even he found it exhausting. Fortunately, the waves receded as quickly as they had come, and he managed to hold on.
The chaotic scene lasted for a long time until Cell finally completed his transformation, and everything gradually calmed down.
Cell's form had changed once again. His body was now surrounded by a golden aura, similar to that of a Super Saiyan, and he radiated an overwhelmingly terrifying energy.
Clenching his fists and feeling his immense power, Cell threw his head back and laughed maniacally—
"Perfect form! I've finally evolved into my perfect form!"
"Hahaha!!!"
"Hahahaha!!!!!"
Android 16 watched quietly as Cell laughed wildly, no longer attempting to attack.
Cell had become unimaginably powerful, and Android 16 knew without testing that the gap between them was insurmountable.
The situation was set in stone, and there was nothing more he could do.
However—
Someone else could!
Android 16 looked up at the sky and saw Yuujin, Gokumi, Chi-Chi, Vegea, Celipa, Android 18, and Dark Android 18 descending from above, accompanied by hundreds of Red Silk Girls. They hovered in the air, surrounding the entire island.
"Cell!!!"
Seeing the figure on the island, Yuujin immediately understood what had happened, and his expression turned grim.
This version of Cell was vastly different from the one they had encountered in the future timeline. He was no longer an ugly insect-like monster but had taken on a form that was strikingly human.
His tail had disappeared, and two black wings extended from his shoulders. His body was covered in a naturally formed armor that didn't look grotesque but instead had a cool, menacing beauty.
This was Cell in his perfect form!!!
"Android 16, what exactly happened here?"
As they landed on the island, Android 18 asked Android 16.
"He's another android created by Dr. Gero, named Cell. He attacked us, absorbed Android 17 and Dark Android 17, and then transformed into that."
Android 16 briefly explained the situation, and Yuujin and the others quickly understood.
That monster had absorbed Android 17 and Dark Android 17 to achieve his perfect form!
"Damn monster! How dare he!"
Both Android 18 and Dark Android 18 were furious, their energy flaring as they prepared to charge forward and avenge their counterparts.
"Calm down, Android 18, Dark Android 18! You're no match for him!"
Yuujin stopped them, his expression serious.
The energy radiating from Cell was overwhelmingly terrifying. Not only were Android 18 and Dark Android 18 outmatched, but even Yuujin himself wasn't confident he could win.
By absorbing Android 17 and Dark Android 17, this version of Cell had become an even more monstrous threat than the perfect Cell from the original Dragon Ball timeline!
"Damn it!!!"
Though filled with resentment, Android 18 and Dark Android 18 knew Yuujin was right and reluctantly suppressed their anger and killing intent.
While Yuujin and the others were talking, Cell casually practiced his moves, familiarizing himself with his newfound power. Once they finished speaking, he stopped and said:
"Kami Yuujin, Gokumi, Vegea, Android 18, and the other Android 18."
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Cell, the ultimate android from another world."
With a sinister smirk, Cell introduced himself.
Even surrounded by so many powerful warriors, Cell remained calm and composed. Before, he wouldn't have dared to act so boldly, but now that he had achieved his perfect form, he had obtained absolute, invincible power. Nothing in this world could make him fear anything anymore!
