"Huh?!"
"Damn it! Dr. Myuu and Dr. Gero escaped!"
The shocked cries immediately pulled Zeru back from his thoughts.
He glanced around.
Cell had been killed once again.
This time, however, there was absolutely no suspense—he had been completely crushed by Son Goku.
As for Dr. Myuu, Dr. Gero, and Hell Fighter 17—
The three of them had already escaped from Hell.
"After them!"
Everyone immediately rushed back toward the human world.
Meanwhile—
On an island in the eastern sea of Earth.
Frieza stood with his arms crossed, staring coldly at the island beneath him.
"Many years ago…"
"This was the island where I died at Zeru's hands."
"And today…"
"I'll wait for him here."
"This time…"
"The one who dies won't be me."
Having mastered a brand-new transformation once again, Frieza wasn't as arrogant as before.
What he possessed now—
Was confidence.
Absolute confidence in his new form.
He had no intention of making the first move.
Because he knew—
Zeru would definitely come looking for him eventually.
Meanwhile—
In West City.
"VEGETA!!"
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!"
Nappa and Raditz charged at Vegeta simultaneously.
"Heh."
"You've been dead for so many years, yet you still haven't improved."
"How disappointing."
Vegeta glanced sideways at them with disdain.
Then—
Boom!
He casually fired an energy blast.
Nappa and Raditz were instantly vaporized.
"What a joke."
Vegeta slowly lowered his hand and sneered coldly.
"Long time no see, Vegeta."
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two figures suddenly descended from the sky.
Vegeta turned his head slightly.
His face darkened immediately.
"What a pain…"
"No sooner does one wave end than another begins."
He frowned while glancing toward the ruins nearby.
Dr. Myuu and Dr. Gero were standing there with sinister smiles.
"Today…"
"I'll let you witness my latest masterpiece, Vegeta!"
Dr. Myuu sneered coldly.
"Go!"
"Hell Fighter 17!"
Hearing Myuu's command, Vegeta turned his gaze toward the flames ahead.
A figure slowly emerged from the fire.
It was—
Android 17 from Hell.
"Oh?"
Vegeta raised an eyebrow.
A hint of excitement appeared on his face.
"Not bad."
"Finally, someone slightly interesting has shown up."
Whoosh!
Vegeta and Hell Fighter 17 moved simultaneously.
The two collided instantly.
Bang!
However—
Hell Fighter 17 seemed distracted.
Vegeta seized the opening and blasted him away with a heavy punch.
"What are you doing?!"
"Why haven't you arrived yet?!"
"Come fuse with me already!"
"We'll become the greatest Super Android 17 in history!"
Hell Fighter 17 stabilized himself midair.
Then he frowned as he mentally communicated with the Android 17 on Earth.
"17."
"The other 17 is about to arrive."
"Come back for now."
At that moment, Dr. Myuu suddenly spoke.
"I understand."
Hell Fighter 17's eyes flickered slightly.
He could already sense the other Android 17 approaching rapidly.
As such—
He completely ignored Vegeta's desire to continue fighting and returned directly to Dr. Myuu's side.
Whoosh!
Soon—
Another figure descended from the sky.
The Earth version of Android 17 arrived.
Floating in midair, he swept his gaze across the battlefield before finally landing on Dr. Myuu and the others.
"You've finally arrived."
Hell Fighter 17 smiled.
A scarlet glow flickered within his eyes.
"What?!"
"There are two Android 17s?!"
"And why do they feel so strange?!"
"They don't seem like the Android 17 we know at all!"
The newly arrived crowd—including Son Gohan and the others—were all stunned.
"One is the Android 17 from Hell."
"And the other is the Android 17 from Earth."
Zeru spoke calmly.
"Dr. Myuu's plan…"
"…is to fuse the Hell and Earth versions of Android 17 into an unprecedented super android."
"What?!"
Everyone was instantly shocked.
"Oh?"
"Looks like you're pretty smart after all."
Dr. Myuu glanced toward Zeru, raising an eyebrow.
"Smart or not doesn't matter."
"Because today…"
"Every single one of you will die at the hands of my masterpiece!"
"Hahahaha!"
"And honestly, dying to the soon-to-be-born Super Android 17 should be considered an honor!"
"After all…"
"You've never witnessed such a powerful being before!"
"What nonsense!"
Vegeta sneered.
Pointing toward the two Android 17s, he said coldly:
"I, Vegeta, don't care about these two weaklings at all."
"Hurry up and fuse them already."
"I'd like to see whether your so-called Super Android 17 is actually impressive—or just another joke!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Since you're in such a hurry to die, Vegeta…"
"Then I'll gladly fulfill your wish!"
Dr. Myuu burst into loud laughter.
Then he turned toward the two Android 17s.
"17s!"
"You may begin the fusion now!"
"Show these filthy Saiyans what the world's strongest android truly looks like!"
"You are me…"
"And I am you…"
The two Android 17s floated into the sky simultaneously.
Golden light erupted around their bodies.
"We shall become one!"
BOOM!!!
The instant those words fell—
Their bodies began merging together.
At the same time—
An incomparably dazzling light exploded across the sky.
"What?!"
Son Gohan and the others' expressions changed drastically.
Even Vegeta had to squint against the overwhelming radiance.
Yet despite the blinding light—
He could clearly feel the terrifying aura rapidly swelling within it.
After several moments—
The light finally faded.
And a single man appeared before everyone's eyes.
"They…"
"They succeeded?!"
Krillin widened his eyes in disbelief.
"They succeeded!"
"Our ultimate android has finally been born!"
"SUPER 17!!!"
Dr. Myuu and Dr. Gero looked at one another before screaming excitedly.
RUMBLE!!!
At that moment—
Super 17 glanced toward Krillin and the others expressionlessly.
Then—
Without warning—
A barrage of energy blasts rained down from the sky.
"So powerful!"
Gohan and the others' faces changed as they hurriedly dodged.
Vegeta slowly inhaled.
Then he stared at the emotionless Super 17 in the sky with an increasingly serious expression.
