The pillar of flames that shot straight into the sky caused everyone to hold their breath.
The power of Future Trunks’ energy wave left everyone present dumbfounded. Even Vegeta was slightly shocked.
After all, it was fired by Trunks in his Super Saiyan state.
Even if Super Saiyan Future Trunks at this point in time wasn’t all that strong.
…
Time passed second by second.
As the thick flames produced by the explosion gradually dispersed, the scene that entered everyone’s eyes caused their bodies to tremble, shock spreading from the depths of their hearts.
After taking Future Trunks’ full-power attack head-on, Android 17 and Android 18 were not only completely unharmed, but the two of them had even protected Android 16’s hibernation chamber.
“How… is that possible?!” This scene utterly terrified Future Trunks.
Back in the future world, although his full-power attack couldn’t kill the Androids, it would at least injure them to some extent.
But now, with such a sudden energy blast, not only were Android 17 and 18 completely fine, they clearly hadn’t taken his attack seriously at all.
Suddenly, Future Trunks gasped. He suddenly thought that perhaps because of his interference, the strength of these past Androids had become even greater than the Future 17 and 18.
“Hmph!! What a waste of energy. You think that kind of attack could do anything?! If you’re scared, then get the hell out of the way. Leave them to me!” Vegeta’s eyes were filled with arrogance, and his words radiated dense killing intent.
After waiting so long, it was finally time for him to make his move. Next, he would let this cheap son from the future know just how strong his father was now!
Seeing this scene, everyone else fell silent.
Even Future Trunks transformed into a Super Saiyan couldn’t injure 17 and 18. At the very least, they knew they were nowhere near that level.
Even Piccolo frowned. He knew he was no match for 17 and 18, and he had also confirmed that Future Trunks wasn’t lying. These two Androids really were strong enough to kill all of them.
Now, all their hopes could only be placed on Vegeta.
If even Vegeta lost… then not a single one of them would survive!
The ending would become impossible to change.
…
On top of that mountain.
“What a bunch of rude people,” 17 said expressionlessly as he casually brushed the dust off his body.
“Forget about them for now. I actually want to see just what’s so special about this Android 16 that Dr. Gero valued so highly.” As soon as she finished speaking, 18 directly kicked open Android 16’s hibernation chamber.
The hibernation chamber was forcibly opened, and Android 16, who had been sleeping, awakened.
“According to the data calculations, he doesn’t seem to be above us,” 17 said casually.
18 nodded slightly.
The two of them simply watched as the tall and imposing 16 stepped out of the hibernation chamber. Just standing there, he indeed possessed a unique sense of charisma and pressure.
However, 17 and 18 didn’t care, nor were they afraid.
After all, they were the new generation of Androids equipped with infinite energy reactors.
How could the product of an old era possibly compare to them?
“We let you out. Shouldn’t you thank us a little, 16?” 18 said somewhat tsundere-like.
Yet what she received was only 16’s cold indifference.
17 and 18 rolled their eyes and helplessly shook their heads, taking it as a result of 16 being a purely mechanical Android.
Before they could exchange many more words, Vegeta proactively approached them.
That arrogant aura of his could not have been more obvious.
Sensing Vegeta’s provocation, 17 and 18 only felt speechless.
They originally had no intention of fighting these people. At least right after waking up, they didn’t want to battle.
But that didn’t mean they could just let others bully them.
“If you want to fight, then let’s fight. It’ll be a good chance to vent my bad mood! I’ll leave the others to you, 17.” After expressionlessly saying this, 18 took the initiative and sped off into the distance.
She had no intention of fighting Vegeta here.
So she deliberately led Vegeta away toward the distance.
Seeing 18 voluntarily seeking death, Vegeta wasn’t in a hurry. He simply followed after her, allowing her to choose her own graveyard.
As far as he was concerned, even if the opponent was a woman, he wouldn’t show any mercy.
Because Vegeta had been lured away by 18, everyone’s hearts tightened. Future Trunks clenched his teeth, not daring to act rashly.
At this moment, Android 17 was sweeping his indifferent gaze across them.
For 17, the data in the database had already informed him of all the information on the people before him, aside from that blonde-haired man.
“Hey, 16, do you want to stretch your muscles a bit? How about we each take half?” 17 said lightly with his hands on his hips.
With that kind of attitude, he clearly wasn’t taking anyone seriously.
“My purpose for being created is only one thing: to kill Goku. Other than Goku, I will not kill any innocent person.” 16’s answer greatly surprised 17.
It seemed that, just like them, 16 had also been implanted by Dr. Gero with the directive to kill Goku.
“Alright then. Since you don’t plan on dealing with them, I’ll play with them myself.” 17 didn’t force the issue. His gaze swept over Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Krillin, and he provocatively crooked his finger at them, signaling that they could attack him now.
This extremely arrogant attitude, treating everyone as ants, greatly provoked the pride of Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Krillin.
Yet they still didn’t dare act recklessly.
Seeing this, 17 instantly saw through their thoughts. He glanced again in the direction where 18 and Vegeta had gone and said, “If you plan on waiting a little longer, that’s fine too. But there’s something I need to make clear first. Your opponent is me. You can only attack me, you’re not allowed to attack 18.”
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Who could have imagined that 17 would say something like that?
Future Trunks was even more astonished. This was completely different from the 17 he knew.
