Bardock, with a golden flaming aura surrounding his body, gasped for breath as he looked at the explosion before him, muttering softly, “Is it finally dead?”
The Androids he had encountered just now and the ones he had encountered in the past were completely different. Even with Bardock’s current strength, he had no chance of winning in his normal state and was forced to transform into a Super Saiyan.
However, at that moment, two figures suddenly broke through the engulfing flames and appeared in front of Bardock.
“How is this possible!”
Seeing two Androids with familiar faces unscathed standing before him, Bardock was taken aback.
Before he could react, someone grabbed his head.
“Damn it, let go of me!”
Bardock shouted, his golden flaming aura surging, trying to break free from the grasp.
But at that moment, Bardock suddenly felt his power continuously diminishing.
He was shocked, realizing that the opponent could absorb his energy.
“Bardock!”
Just then, a roar sounded from beside him as Lin Chen and Lazuli broke through a wall and appeared on the scene.
Lin Chen kicked the Android resembling Raditz, sending him crashing into the wall.
Lazuli targeted the Android that looked like Bardock, and the two Androids engaged in a fierce battle.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Chen helped Bardock to his feet.
“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, just a bit tired,” Bardock replied with a bitter smile as he stood up.
He looked at the Android crawling out of the wall and asked, “Your Highness, what’s going on? Where did these Androids come from?”
“I don’t know. Let’s deal with them first. By the way, where’s Dr. Gero?”
“He escaped during the chaos, Your Highness. Why don’t you go after him while I handle this guy?”
“It seems you’re having some trouble with him,” Lin Chen refused, shaking his head.
Bardock couldn’t see the opponent’s Power Level, but Lin Chen could.
According to his system’s detection, the Android in front of him had an astonishing Power Level of 20 million, slightly stronger than Bardock in his normal Super Saiyan state.
No wonder Bardock had been at a disadvantage earlier.
The figure that had crawled out of the wall looked at Lin Chen and a glint flashed in its eyes. It suddenly spoke in an emotionless and mechanical voice.
“Target identified: Lin Chen. Beginning elimination!”
The Android’s hands closed together, and a terrifying blue beam shot towards Lin Chen.
“How ridiculous!”
A smirk formed on Lin Chen’s lips as a barrier appeared, easily blocking the attack.
However, the residual energy spread in all directions, triggering alarms throughout the research facility.
Glancing around, Lin Chen said, “Bardock, go and evacuate those assistants!”
“Yes!”
Bardock nodded and followed the order.
The Android’s gaze followed Bardock, preparing to launch an attack, but Lin Chen blocked him with his hand.
“Your opponent is me!”
Lin Chen grabbed the Android tightly, and a powerful aura began to emanate from his body. With a flash of golden light, he transformed into the Legendary Super Saiyan.
“Beep, beep… Warning! Opponent’s energy has exceeded what I can handle! Warning!”
Android Raditz seemed to realize that he was no match for Lin Chen and attempted to escape.
But under Lin Chen’s firm grip, he couldn’t move at all.
“Warning: Unable to retreat. Activate backup plan!”
A red light flashed in Android Raditz’s eyes.
Immediately, a countdown began within its programming.
“The backup plan has been activated, self-destruct mode initiated, countdown begins now…”
“Ten… Nine… Eight…”
Although the countdown was happening within Android’s programming and showed no external signs, there was still someone present who understood Android’s system very well.
A punch pierced through the Android’s abdomen and directly crushed its power reactor. Lazuli turned her head and exclaimed, “Lin Chen, it looks like it’s going to self-destruct!”
“Self-destruct?”
Narrowing his eyes, Lin Chen grabbed Android Raditz, and in the next moment, he used Instant Transmission, disappearing with the Android from the laboratory.
Half a second later, Lin Chen and the Android appeared on a desolate planet.
Almost at the same time, Android’s countdown came to an end.
“Zero!”
A bright white light suddenly flashed, and a terrifying energy erupted out. An energy sphere suddenly appeared on the surface of the planet, illuminating the entire planet.
When the light sphere vanished, a massive irreparable damage appeared on the planet’s surface.
However, amidst the dissipating light, Lin Chen, protected by his energy shield, emerged unscathed.
Confirming that nothing was left at the scene, Lin Chen sneered, turned his head, and left.
When he returned to the research facility, Lazuli had also finished her battle.
“Lin Chen, look…”
Lazuli pointed at the pile of broken bodies that used to resemble Bardock… or to say Goku, and said, “There’s no mistake. Whether it’s the appearance, power, or the absence of aura, this guy is an Android, just like me, a human-modified Android!”
“Didn’t you say that Dr. Gero in this world didn’t create Androids using humans or Saiyans? What’s going on?”
“We’ll talk about that later…” Lin Chen waved his hand, storing the scrap metal in his system space, just in case.
Then he asked, “Where is Dr. Gero?”
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a rumble echoed from the research facility.
Moments later, Lin Chen received a communication from Bardock.
“Your Highness! Dr. Gero has escaped! A spaceship just left the research facility!”
Lin Chen asked Lazuli to stay behind and quickly arrived outside in space.
Through the shimmering green energy barrier, he swiftly locked onto a spaceship that was moving away from the research facility.
Using Instant Transmission, Lin Chen appeared on the spaceship and headed straight for the cockpit.
There, Dr. Gero suddenly turned around from the pilot’s seat.
“Dr. Gero, I need a reasonable explanation,” Lin Chen said calmly.
“There’s nothing to explain! Did you really think I would submit to you Saiyans? If this world is to have a ruler, it can only be me, Dr. Gero!” Dr. Gero’s face twisted with madness.
Furrowing his brows, Lin Chen, though aware that Dr. Gero was an ambitious person in the original story, hadn’t expected his ambition to be so extreme.
Why can’t you just be a good scientist? You’re not a conqueror. Why do you want to rule the world?
“Dr. Gero…” Lin Chen was about to say a few words of persuasion when he saw Dr. Gero press a switch.
In the next moment, a tremendous energy erupted out beneath Lin Chen’s feet.
Boom!
The spaceship that Dr. Gero was aboard suddenly exploded into pieces.
Among the debris of the spaceship, Lin Chen, protected by his energy shield, emerged slowly from behind the fragments.
Looking at the wreckage of the spaceship before him, Lin Chen’s face turned serious.
Dr. Gero died just like this?
