The pillar of fire shooting straight into the sky made everyone hold their breath.
The power of Future Trunks' Energy Blast left everyone present dumbfounded, even Vegeta was slightly shocked.
After all, it was unleashed by Trunks in his Super Saiyan state.
Even if the Super Saiyan Trunks at this time wasn't that strong.
...
Time passed by, second by second.
As the thick flames from the explosion dissipated, the scene that entered everyone's eyes made their bodies tremble, and a feeling of shock spread from their hearts.
Android 17 and Android 18, after taking Future Trunks' full-force attack head-on, were not only unscathed and completely unharmed, but they had also protected Android 16's stasis pod.
"How... is this possible?!" This scene utterly terrified Future Trunks.
In the future world, his full-force attack, while not enough to kill the Androids, could definitely inflict some damage on them.
But this sudden blast not only left Android 17 and Android 18 unharmed, but they clearly didn't take his attack seriously at all.
Suddenly, Future Trunks gasped, wondering if his presence had caused these Androids of the past to be stronger than the Android 17 and Android 18 of his future.
"Hmph!! Just a waste of energy. What do you think an attack of this level can do?! If you're scared, get out of my way! I'll deal with them!" Vegeta's eyes were filled with arrogance, and his words exuded a strong killing intent.
After waiting for so long, it was finally time to make his move. Next, he would let his cheap son from the future know just how strong his old man was now! Seeing this, the others fell silent.
Even Future Trunks, transformed into a Super Saiyan, couldn't hurt Android 17 and Android 18, so they were definitely no match for them.
Even Piccolo frowned. He knew he wasn't a match for Android 17 and Android 18, and he was certain that Future Trunks was right: these two Androids were indeed strong enough to kill them all.
Now, they could only place all their hopes on Vegeta.
If even Vegeta was defeated... then none of them would survive! The ending could not be changed.
...
On that mountain peak.
"What an impolite bunch," Android 17 said expressionlessly, casually brushing the dust off his body.
"Let's ignore them for now. I really want to see just how special this Android 16, whom Dr. Gero valued so much, is." As she spoke, Android 18 kicked open Android 16's stasis pod.
The stasis pod was forcibly opened, and the slumbering Android 16 awakened at that moment.
"According to the data, he doesn't seem to be above us," Android 17 said casually.
Android 18 nodded slightly.
The two of them watched as the tall and mighty Android 16 emerged from the stasis pod, simply standing there, exuding a unique aura and sense of oppression.
However, Android 17 and Android 18 didn't care, nor were they afraid.
After all, they were the new generation of Androids equipped with eternal energy reactors.
How could they be compared to products of the old era?
"We let you out. Shouldn't you thank us, Android 16?" Android 18 said with a slightly proud tone.
However, she was met with Android 16's cold indifference.
Android 18 and Android 17 rolled their eyes and shook their heads helplessly, attributing it to Android 16 being a purely mechanical Android.
Before they could exchange a few words, Vegeta proactively came over.
His arrogant aura was all too obvious.
Sensing Vegeta's provocation, Android 17 and Android 18 felt speechless.
They hadn't intended to become enemies with these people, at least not so soon after waking up. They didn't want to fight.
But that didn't mean they would allow themselves to be bullied.
"Since you want to fight, then let's fight. It's a good way to vent my frustration! I'll leave the others to you, Android 17." After saying this expressionlessly, Android 18 flew forward.
She didn't want to fight Vegeta here.
So, she led Vegeta away, heading towards the distance.
Vegeta saw Android 18 willingly offering herself up, but he wasn't in a hurry. He simply followed her, letting her choose her own burial ground.
To him, even though his opponent was a woman, he wouldn't show any mercy.
Because Vegeta was lured away by Android 18, everyone's hearts tightened. Future Trunks gritted his teeth, but didn't dare to act rashly.
At this moment, Android 17 was scanning them with his casual gaze.
For Android 17, the data in his database had already told him all the information about the people in front of him, except for that similarly blonde-haired man.
"Hey, Android 16, do you want to stretch your legs? How about we each take half?" Android 17 said with his hands on his hips, his tone relaxed.
Judging by his attitude, he didn't take anyone seriously at all.
"I was created with only one goal, to kill Son Goku. Apart from Son Goku, I will not kill any innocent people," Android 16's answer surprised Android 17.
It seemed that Android 16, like them, had been implanted with the order to kill Son Goku by Dr. Gero.
"Okay, since you don't plan to deal with them, then let me play with them." Android 17 didn't force it. He glanced at Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Krillin, and provocatively hooked his index finger, signaling that they could attack him.
This extremely arrogant attitude, treating everyone as ants, greatly stimulated the self-esteem of Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Krillin.
But they didn't dare to act rashly.
Seeing this, Android 17 saw through their thoughts at a glance. He looked in the direction of Android 18 and Vegeta and said, "If you plan to wait a bit, that's fine, but I have to make something clear first. Your opponent is me, you can only attack me, you can't attack Android 18."
These words shocked everyone.
No one expected that Android 17 would say such a thing.
Future Trunks was even more surprised. This was different from the Android 17 he knew.
...
At the same time.
Vegeta on the other side finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He directly unleashed his energy, surpassing Android 18 in one breath, then glared at Android 18 and shouted, "Where else do you plan to go? I think here is pretty good!"
"Alright, since you're in such a hurry, then let's do it here." Android 18 slowly landed, standing right on the mountain road.
Seeing this, Vegeta followed closely and landed on the ground. At the same time, a roar erupted from Vegeta's mouth.
Vegeta directly released the energy within his body, going all out, and launched an attack on Android 18.
His offensive was so fierce that he directly suppressed Android 18, striking her relentlessly.
Because the distance wasn't very far, everyone could see the situation of the battle.
Future Trunks, who witnessed this battle, felt extremely surprised.
The Androids of this era were undoubtedly stronger than the Androids of the future world, but now his father, Vegeta, was suppressing her.
In his heart, a bold idea was born: Could it be that history will really be changed by his father?
Future Trunks was still too inexperienced, he hadn't experienced greater storms, how would he know that there was such a thing as hidden strength.
Moreover, he didn't understand his father, Vegeta, at all. Vegeta could indeed unleash unimaginable power at the beginning of a battle, but his Prince Fighting Style consumed a lot of energy, and after showing off for a while, he would quickly be crushed.
In the fierce hand-to-hand combat, Vegeta continued to force Android 18 back.
The two of them fought on the road, which was a pain for a driver who was driving a truck towards here.
Android 18 deliberately stopped in front of the truck, wanting to see how Vegeta would deal with it? She didn't expect that Vegeta would directly blast the truck driver and the truck away with a single Energy Blast.
From this, Android 18 also recognized what type of person Vegeta was.
She didn't plan to be polite with this kind of cold-blooded and ruthless guy. Her original plan was just to teach him a lesson and vent her anger.
It wasn't until Vegeta's attack broke Android 18's jacket that the anger in Android 18's heart grew even stronger.
Although she was a woman, the difference in strength was obvious. Android 18's Battle Power was much higher than Vegeta's. As her counterattack began, the situation changed.
Vegeta showed signs of defeat. Fortunately, relying on his own excellent physical qualities, he stubbornly withstood Android 18's first few waves of attacks, and also seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
For a time, the two fought inextricably, evenly matched.
However, as the battle time increased, Vegeta's physical strength consumption became greater and greater.
From being able to barely parry Android 18's attacks at the beginning, Vegeta was eventually completely overwhelmed.
"Looks like you're just a loudmouth. Son Goku must be much stronger than you, right?" Android 18 said with disappointment after figuring out Vegeta's true strength.
These words stung Vegeta's pride.
"Don't get cocky! You damn bitch!!" Vegeta, his pride wounded, endured the pain and threw a punch straight at Android 18's face.
Clearly, Android 18 was even angrier after hearing Vegeta insult her.
Android 18 dodged Vegeta's heavy punch and unleashed a sweeping roundhouse kick.
Bang~~!!! A muffled sound.
The incredibly powerful blow landed squarely on Vegeta's left arm.
This terrifying force, through the tough muscle tissue, caused irreversible and massive damage to the internal joints.
With just one blow, Vegeta's left arm was completely dislocated, rendering it useless.
"Ughhhhh...!!!" Vegeta's features twisted, his face contorted in pain, and his ki plummeted drastically.
At this moment, the outcome was decided.
Although Vegeta was still transformed as a Super Saiyan, he was no longer able to fight Android 18.
Android 18 had no intention of letting Vegeta off so easily. She strolled up to Vegeta and kicked him, sending him flying nearly a hundred meters, where he tumbled several times before barely stopping.
The situation had completely reversed.
Future Trunks, as an observer, could no longer stand it.
He couldn't watch his father die in front of him.
"Stop it!!" Future Trunks roared in anger, powering up and drawing his Hero's Sword, heading straight for Android 18's head.
Android 17 had intended to stop him, but didn't act immediately.
Since Vegeta, the one with the highest data, was already down, it wouldn't matter even if this kid joined in.
Everyone was shocked at the sight.
Clang~~!!!
Future Trunks' sword shattered in response.
This scene made Future Trunks' pupils shrink.
"Rude brat, courting death." Android 18 reached out, grabbed Future Trunks by the neck, and threw him next to Vegeta.
The next second, Android 18 raised her hand and released an Energy Blast, attacking Future Trunks.
Future Trunks, who could have dodged, gritted his teeth when he saw the heavily injured Vegeta behind him, and had no choice but to brace himself.
Boom~~!!!!!!! A deafening explosion.
The Energy Blast exploded violently, the aftermath sweeping in all directions, instantly blasting Vegeta and Future Trunks away.
The father and son, hit by the backlash of the Energy Blast, were blasted to the point of losing their ability to fight.
In fact, Vegeta had indeed lost his ability to fight, but Future Trunks lost his confidence due to fear, so he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Krillin could no longer stand by and watch quietly.
They forcibly intervened, but were directly stopped by Android 17.
Unsurprisingly, Android 17 defeated Piccolo and Tien Shinhan with just a few casual moves.
As for Krillin, he was completely dumbfounded and stood there frozen.
The battle ended, and Android 17 and Android 18 stood together.
"Did we go a little too hard on them?" Android 17 joked to Android 18.
"Too hard? They're all still alive. This is already us being merciful enough," Android 18 replied disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, Android 17 didn't dare to provoke his older sister.
When his sister got angry, she wasn't so easy to appease.
This battle seemed to have come to a satisfactory end, just like in the original story.
Only Krillin was completely ignored.
But just at this moment, an accident still happened. Vegeta, who had been beaten half to death, was unwilling to accept this cruel reality.
In his mind, a Super Saiyan should be invincible in the universe, but now he was beaten so miserably by a woman.
He would rather die than accept this cruel reality.
Therefore, he endured the crushing pain all over his body and slowly stood up.
Those sharp and murderous eyes locked onto Android 18, and a provocative smile was forced onto his face: "Android, is that all you've got? This great Vegeta isn't dead yet!"
As soon as these words came out, Android 17 and Android 18, who were planning to leave, were stunned at the same time. Android 18 felt Vegeta's killing intent, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes as well.
Piccolo and Tien Shinhan, who were seriously injured, thought they had escaped a disaster, and cursed in their hearts.
Vegeta, this guy... is courting death!! "It seems you've met a tough one this time. Want to kill him?" Android 17 was also speechless at Vegeta's attitude.
They had already let him off, but he still wanted to die.
"Since he's actively seeking death, then I'll grant his wish." Android 18 didn't want to waste words, raised her right hand, and powerful energy gathered in the palm of her right hand.
"Then let's just cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, kill them all!" Android 17 also said.
Everyone's heart rate accelerated at this moment, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
...
This scene made Talot, who was hiding in the dark, a little speechless.
He originally planned to continue hiding and see how things developed.
If Android 17 and Android 18 really killed everyone, then the plot would be completely messed up.
"However, these Android 17 and Android 18 should be the two I know. I can't continue to watch the show. I might as well take this opportunity to intervene." Talot muttered to himself, and the next second disappeared into the darkness.
