“Ahhhhhh!”
In one corner of the arena, Vegeta’s clone raised his palm and aimed it at the spectators in the stands.
Hearing their screams, Shin used Instant Transmission and appeared in front of Vegeta’s clone.
He pushed both palms forward and shouted, “Energy’s Last!”
An energy wave immediately shot towards Vegeta clone.
However, Vegeta clone merely tilted his head back slightly, dodging Shin’s attack, and a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes.
Bang!
Vegeta clone suddenly threw a punch, and Shin couldn’t evade it in time, taking a solid blow.
The intense pain contorted his expression.
“How is this possible?”
Shin was greatly shocked and lost his composure. As a dignified Supreme Kai, facing a mere mortal, especially a weakened clone, he was actually feeling powerless.
What is happening to the mortals nowadays? Why are they all so powerful?
Amidst the strong feeling of frustration, Shin watched as a glow suddenly appeared in the palm of the Vegeta clone, but he was powerless to resist.
However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Shin, thrusting a palm into the Vegeta clone’s abdomen. Then, a bright light emanated from his hand, instantly evaporating the Vegeta clone who has Super Saiyan 2 strength.
Lin Chen retracted his hand and turned to Supreme Kai, “Are you alright?”
“I-I’m fine, thank you.”
Seeing the young Supreme Kai looking fearful, Lin Chen smacked his lips and sighed quietly.
Lin Chen had encountered many gods in this world, but in comparison, this East Supreme Kai was the least impressive one he had seen. Despite being of the same rank as the God of Destruction, he had less strength than even a Super Saiyan 2, and he even lacked knowledge and courage.
Was it because the previous generation Supreme Kai died so suddenly, leaving no legacy?
It seemed necessary to release the old Supreme Kai and give some guidance to this Supreme Kai while also earning a wave of Time Points.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Chen turned his attention back to dealing with the clones.
With his extraordinary strength, the large number of clones on the scene were easily dealt with.
However, the crisis at the tournament was resolved, but peace did not return to the entire human world.
As it turned out, the clone army that appeared at the World Martial Arts Tournament was only a small part of Android 21’s clone army.
Almost simultaneously, the clone army appeared on various continents of Earth.
These clones seemed to have an unknown purpose, attacking cities and causing massive destruction.
As soon as Central City learned that Lin Chen was on Earth, they immediately requested his assistance.
Lin Chen naturally agreed.
Over the next few days, Earth’s Z Fighters began to travel all over the planet, tirelessly dealing with the clones that had suddenly appeared from nowhere.
As for Lin Chen, during this time, he was researching Android 21’s origin with Shin, Lazuli, and Android 18.
After learning that Krillin had been eaten by Android 21, Android 18 fell into sadness. Lazuli accompanied her, asking questions to uncover the full truth of the matter.
These words reached the ears of Lin Chen and Shin via Lazuli.
“I never expected that scientists on Earth could create an Android capable of absorbing Majin Buu’s cells. It’s truly unbelievable,” Shin exclaimed in astonishment.
Lin Chen shook his head with an unsatisfied expression and continued to ask, “18, why did 21 target you? Could it be that if she consumes you, she can evolve like Cell?”
Lin Chen had to clarify this matter. Since the system had indicated that Lin Chen’s target was the Kid Buu and not Android 21, he needed to consider all possibilities.
In his mind, he had a suspicion that it was highly likely that Android 21 could undergo evolution just like Cell, and at the end of her evolution, she might transform into Majin Buu.
Although this was just a hypothesis, it wasn’t impossible for it to become a reality.
“It’s for the World Core…” Android 18 revealed the information Android 21 had disclosed that day.
As she finished speaking, Supreme Kai next to her widened his eyes, and a dismal expression appeared on his face.
“It’s actually the World Core… I never thought those things would end up on Earth…”
“What is it? Do you know?” Lin Chen asked.
“Yeah,” Supreme Kai nodded and said, “Those World Cores, if I’m not mistaken, should have been left behind by the Supreme Kais who were killed by Majin Buu in the past.”
“Supreme Kai?”
“Yes, including me, there used to be five Supreme Kai in this world. Those four Supreme Kai and I are all Core People. Inside our bodies, there’s something called World Core that provides the energy our bodies need. When a Core Person dies, even though their body disappears, their World Core remains in the world as proof of our existence, much like human skeleton.”
“So that’s how it is…”
Lin Chen now understood why Android 16, 17, and 18 were so unique among all the Androids. They have infinite energy as their power source came from the World Cores of the Supreme Kai.
Using the remains of a god as a power source, it’s no wonder that 17 and 18 were so formidable in the original work.
All the mysteries from the past were finally being unraveled.
The only question that remained unanswered was the whereabouts of Majin Buu.
Had he been completely absorbed by Android 21, or had he died within the seal?
This could likely only be answered by Android 21.
However, since disappearing from the World Martial Arts Tournament’s venue, Android 21 seemed to have evaporated from the face of the Earth.
The disturbances outside were caused by clones that had appeared from nowhere. As for the whereabouts of Android 21 and 16, they could not be found at all.
But at this moment, Central City unexpectedly provided useful information.
According to Central City’s investigation, the clone armies that had been continuously appearing all over the Earth recently seemed to be emerging from underground facilities.
After sending out reconnaissance personnel, Central City discovered that these facilities were actually secret bases of the evil organization known as the Red Ribbon Army, which had once wreaked havoc on Earth.
Similar facilities seemed to exist all over the world.
The clones causing trouble outside were likely coming from these secret bases.
And Android 21, who had disappeared, might be inside one of these facilities.
Upon receiving this information, Goku and the others immediately began their search.
However, such a search was not something that could yield immediate results in a short amount of time.
And so, time passed, and a week gradually went by…
