In the God of Destruction Realm.
Beryl looked at the messages on the Chat Group's public screen with surprise.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Did Goku take his heart medicine?"]
[Vegeta: "Kakarot felt a bit unwell in his heart earlier, so he took the viral heart medicine that Trunks brought."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "So, all of you are there, right?"]
[Vegeta: "Yes, is there a problem?"]
Vegeta's answer left Beryl quite puzzled.
Even if the time was advanced, were the Androids that strong?
Strong enough to let Dr. Gero escape.
Goku, Vegeta, plus Piccolo.
With these three watching, how could Dr. Gero slip away and run back to his lab to activate Android 17 and Android 18?
Leaving aside Goku and Vegeta, those two wild ones, Piccolo, as the Son family's nanny and the golden manager for three generations of the Son family, should be more stable.
Was his combat power not enough to capture a mere Android 20?
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Um... Vegeta, can you roughly determine the combat power of Android 19 and Android 20? Do they have Cooler's strength?"]
[Vegeta: "Not strong. Their combat power is around 300 million."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "So, how did Dr. Gero escape?"]
[Vegeta: "There was an unexpected incident. We sensed an extremely powerful ki, and then, without paying attention, we let Dr. Gero escape."]
Powerful ki?
Could it be Cell?
Beryl was dumbfounded.
Cell's ki blast attracting attention, giving Dr. Gero time to escape?
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Was it Cell?"]
[Vegeta: "I don't know. Kakarot and I used Instant Transmission to go to the location where the ki blast occurred, but there was no one there, only some residual ki."]
Not Cell?
Then who was it?
Beryl frowned tightly, a sense of unease rising in her heart.
Could it be that Dr. Gero had a burst of inspiration and developed another Android?
[World's No. 1 Princess: "How strong was the ki?"]
[Vegeta: "Very strong, so strong I can't measure it."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "How does it compare to me?"]
[Vegeta: "..."]
Isn't that nonsense?
I can't sense your ki.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Then let me rephrase it. Can you draw a conclusion by comparing it to Gogeta's ki on Namek?"]
[Vegeta: "Gogeta is no match. I can be 100% certain of that."]
A little over a year ago.
On Namek, he and Kakarot fused into Gogeta, and his strength was very formidable.
But compared to the ki that appeared, it was still far inferior.
At that time, their base combat power was only a little over 3 million, and after becoming a Super Saiyan, it was only a little over 150 million.
"No match..."
In the God of Destruction Realm, Beryl's brows furrowed in thought as she looked at Vegeta's messages in the Chat Group.
In Namek, Gogeta's strength, to be honest, was not weak; it was already close to Super Saiyan 2.
Such power was actually far inferior to the ki that burst out from who knows where.
In other words, the strength of that ki was at least Super Saiyan 2 level.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Are you looking for Dr. Gero now?"]
[Vegeta: "Yes, we're splitting up to look. Kakarot and I decided to temporarily put aside the owner of that ki, and even if we encounter him, we'd probably need to fuse to deal with him."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Vegeta, start the live stream."]
Vegeta, who was currently searching for Dr. Gero, was silent for a moment before starting the live stream.
[Kumoko: "Yay, another live stream, hooray!"]
[Rimuru: "You're always so fast, Kumoko."]
Everyone in the group had actually seen the conversation between the Group Leader and Vegeta, but knowing they were discussing serious matters, no one had interrupted.
[Erur: "@World's No. 1 Princess, Group Leader, I'm very curious, are Androids really that powerful?"]
Eru had a high interest in mechs, and these Androids seemed not much different from mechs.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "I'm not sure about the exact combat power, but it's roughly in the range of 400 million to 1 billion."]
[Aier: "That strong? Isn't it possible they're even more terrifying than Vegeta?"]
[Vegeta: "1 billion combat power, Group Leader, are you serious?"]
Although Vegeta's strength had increased significantly compared to a month ago, 1 billion was still an astronomical number for him.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Have you seen Trunks? What is his current combat power?"]
[Vegeta: "He's a bit weaker than me, similar to Piccolo's current strength. I don't know how that kid trained; he only increased his combat power by a tiny bit after all this time."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "I see..."]
Although the current combat power values cannot be fully used as a reference to the original work.
In the original work, Trunks arrived three years later, while currently, it has been a little over a year since Trunks arrived.
Vegeta and the others, who have clear training goals and advancement methods, can avoid detours during training. So, comparing their combat power to that period three years later, it's not entirely certain who is stronger or weaker.
However, Piccolo actually has similar strength to Trunks?
In the live stream footage,
Vegeta's eyelid suddenly twitched as he sensed Krillin's ki suddenly increased.
He knew then that someone had found Dr. Gero!
He immediately accelerated and flew towards that direction.
At this moment, in a certain cave.
"Damn it, Son Goku and his gang are actually this powerful."
Android 20 walked into the place where the other Androids were stored, looking at the man and woman lying quietly inside.
"However, Android 17 and Android 18 should be able to deal with them."
He opened the hatches of the two Androids.
Ten seconds later.
Android 17 and Android 18 slowly opened their eyes.
The two politely greeted Dr. Gero.
Then, Android 17 noticed another storage device in the corner.
"Is the one inside also an Android?"
"He is Android 16. Unlike you, he is an Android made entirely of machinery," Dr. Gero said. "His strength is above both of yours."
"Oh, surpassing me and Android 18?" Android 17 said with a slight surprise, then typed something into the computer next to the device.
"Wait, don't let him out..."
"That's no longer your concern, Doctor."
Android 18, taking advantage of Dr. Gero's inattention, quickly snatched the controller from his hand.
"This thing is the control button that puts us to sleep." Android 18 gently squeezed it, and with a crisp "crack," the controller was crushed into countless fragments.
"Android 18, you..."
As Dr. Gero spoke, his peripheral vision noticed Android 16's hatch slowly opening. He quickly tried to stop them, "Stop it, are you crazy, Android 17? Don't touch Android 16!"
"Too noisy."
Android 17 used a hand chop to slice off Dr. Gero's head.
"What we want to do doesn't require an old man like you yelping and barking."
He stomped on Dr. Gero's head, crushing it.
"Now it's quiet."
Dr. Gero's body fell to the ground with a "thud."
A strange device fell out of his pocket.
"This is..."
Android 18's delicate brows furrowed as she picked up the communicator.
Looking at the phone-like communicator, there was only one contact saved inside.
"Android 21?"
Besides them, the siblings, and the big one who hadn't awakened yet, were there other Androids?
