Vegeta's body first stiffened, then he tried to remain calm.
"A barrier that can block Perfect Cell's attacks…"
After Bulma explained the critical situation just now, if it weren't for Vomi's powerful barrier, Vegeta would probably have had to say goodbye to his wife.
Although they had the Dragon Balls, no one wanted to die, right?
Except for Goku, who was always willing to sacrifice himself.
"Thank you very much." Vegeta released Bulma, turned around, and scrutinized Vomi for a moment.
Vomi was a bit confused by Vegeta's very friendly tone.
Bulma's husband, Vegeta, wasn't he always very aloof?
Was it because she unexpectedly saved his wife?
"I'm also an employee of the company, so helping the boss is only right," Vomi replied casually, unsure of Vegeta's intentions.
Meanwhile, on Vegeta's end:
[Vegeta: "@World's No. 1 Princess, Group Leader, are you sure this woman is an Android? She looks just like an ordinary woman to me."]
Vegeta maintained a poker face on the surface, but he was already complaining wildly in the Chat Group.
Her reddish-brown hair was dyed a faint black by the swirling dust, her white researcher's robe was filthy, and even her arms were coated in a layer of grime.
If it weren't for her identical face, he would have almost thought she was someone who had escaped from a coal mine.
Of course, it wasn't just Vomi; Bulma was pretty much the same.
However, Bulma was practically a complete weakling.
It was understandable for her to be in such a sorry state under Cell's wide-range attack.
But look at this, Group Leader, the Android 21 you mentioned.
An Android stronger than Perfect Cell, is this it?
If it weren't for the fact that he could still make out the features of her face, he would have thought she was a worker who had escaped from a mine.
[Uchiha Madara: "Indeed, a strong person has a strong person's dignity. This doesn't look like an existence more powerful than Cell at all."]
[Kumoko: "Is it possible that, for some reason, she can't freely use her own power, which is why she looks like this now?"]
Kumoko thought about when she had just become a god; it was like recovering from a serious illness, unable to use any abilities, which made her panic a lot.
[Rimuru: "That doesn't seem right either. Didn't they say before that an Android deliberately powered up to attract attention, allowing Dr. Gero to escape? She should be able to use her power, right?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "It depends on how you look at it. She is indeed a very dangerous existence for Vegeta. In any case, Vegeta, I suggest you pretend not to know. Since she hasn't shown hostility, it means Android 21 currently has no intention of being your enemy."]
[Vegeta: "I think so too."]
Cell's situation was already chaotic enough, and now there was a suspected Android 21, who was even stronger than Cell.
Could he, Super Vegeta, handle it?
Vegeta's thoughts shifted from the Chat Group back to reality.
"Bulma, how about I take you all to the Lookout now? Staying here will be very dangerous."
He didn't know the structure of this barrier, but Vegeta was a bit worried about staying here.
Bulma's gaze turned to Android 16 and Vomi.
"What about you?"
"Miss Bulma, please just take Android 16. I won't be going."
"You're not going?" Bulma looked at Vomi in surprise.
"I want to go to Dr. Gero's place. Although I was just an assistant, he was, in a way, my mentor," Vomi said softly.
"Is that so… But wasn't Dr. Gero already dead?" Vomi had mentioned this inadvertently when disarming the two Androids' bombs earlier, and Android 18 had also confirmed it.
"No, I'm just very interested in the doctor's research data."
"Then I'll have Vegeta send…"
"No need, Mr. Vegeta is so busy, and besides, I have transportation in the West City suburbs, so there's no need to trouble him."
Bulma saw Vomi's insistence and wanted to say something, but Vegeta stopped her.
"That's fine."
Vegeta used Instant Transmission directly, taking Trunks, Bulma, and Android 16 to the Lookout.
At this moment, the battle between Cell and Piccolo was in full swing.
No, rather than a battle, It was more like Cell was unilaterally toying with Piccolo.
Cell laughed, "Come on, face me head-on! Chasing me halfway across the Earth, Piccolo, is this all the strength you have? Or is it that I, the perfect Android, am too powerful?"
Piccolo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said nothing.
There was too much of a difference; he and Perfect Cell were not on the same level at all.
Before, he could chase Cell before he absorbed Android 18, leaving him on the brink of death.
Now, he was completely overwhelmed in every aspect.
What kind of monstrous Android did that bastard Dr. Gero create?
Besides Cell, there seemed to be another one even stronger than Cell.
This was information he knew from Kami's memories.
"It seems you have no more moves," Cell smirked.
In a flash, appearing behind Piccolo, who couldn't even react.
"Ah—!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and a piercing pain shot from his back straight to his head.
Piccolo crashed heavily to the ground.
Cell slowly landed, looking at Piccolo in the large crater, who could only gasp for breath and couldn't speak, and mocked:
"What Super Namekian? Nothing special. If you Namekians can add 'Super,' then I'm Super Cell, the most perfect warrior."
Piccolo no longer had the strength to reply at this point; although he hadn't fainted, his body's injuries rendered him immobile.
"Forget it, I'll give you the final blow with your proudest technique."
He placed his finger on his forehead, and his ki rapidly gathered at his fingertip.
"Die!"
"Special Beam Cannon!"
A powerful beam of light shot from his fingertip, rapidly striking towards Piccolo's chest.
Given Piccolo's current state, he would surely die if hit.
Whoosh!
A golden-haired figure appeared, casually waving a hand, deflecting the Special Beam Cannon aimed at Piccolo into the sky.
Boom—!
A tremendous roar came from the sky, and all the clouds within sight were illuminated by the explosion's energy.
"Is this your strongest form, Cell?" Standing beside Piccolo and blocking Cell's attack for him was none other than Goku.
He didn't pay attention to Cell but instead fed Piccolo a Senzu Bean.
"Son Goku!"
"You show up now, do you still think you can beat me?" Goku fed Piccolo the Senzu Bean, and Cell did not stop him.
Instead, Goku's appearance ignited his competitive spirit.
In a short while, the terrifying regenerative ability of the Senzu Bean healed Piccolo's extremely severe injuries.
Piccolo slowly climbed out of the large crater on the ground.
His expression was very cautious, fearing that Cell would suddenly lash out.
