Earth.
At this moment, the situation changed.
The outcome of the battle between the two Android 21 has been decided.
With Goku and the others watching, the original 21, perhaps due to the evil 21 taking away a large amount of her energy, found herself at a disadvantage from the beginning of the battle, steadily losing ground.
Seeing that 21 was about to collapse, 18 couldn’t hold back any longer and decided to lend a hand.
Then, 17 also joined the fight to assist 18.
However, even with the three of them together, they were still no match for Evil Android 21.
Seeing this, Lazuli couldn’t stand by any longer and stepped in to help.
Before taking action, she also pulled Goku and the others into the battlefield.
“Goku, Vegeta, please, join forces to take on that black-haired 21!”
“Miss Lazuli, both of these 21s are enemies, right? Are you sure you want to help her?” Vegeta inquired.
Lazuli took a deep breath and replied, “I know that, but we can’t just watch 17 and 18 get defeated, can we?”
“Alright, Kakarot, let’s do this!”
“All right!”
As the two of them transformed into Super Saiyan 3 and entered the fray, Evil Android 21 immediately found herself in a disadvantageous position.
Although she had just easily dealt with the combined attack of 17, 18, and 21, in front of Super Saiyan 3, she could only flee in panic.
“Wahhh! You guys are shameless!”
As Evil Android 21 screamed, her body gradually began to disappear as if she intended to use Instant Transmission to escape.
However, just as she had initiated Instant Transmission, someone struck her out of it.
Goku swung his fist and grinned, “Thinking of escaping with Instant Transmission? I’ve already figured out how to break it!”
Evil Android 21 touched her face where she’d been hit, her bloodshot eyes gleaming with malice.
“Since you won’t let me enjoy my meal… I’ll show you the consequences of interrupting a lady’s dinner! Ahhh!!!”
Evil Android 21’s body suddenly began to expand, like an overinflated balloon. Then, she exploded right before everyone’s eyes.
Pink chunks of flesh scattered in all directions like rain!
“Don’t let those chunks of flesh get near you!” the original 21 shouted, backing away while releasing a ki blast to evaporate and destroy the flying pieces.
Seeing this, the others followed suit, scattering and using ki blasts to counterattack.
The entire battlefield erupted with violent explosions.
Flames burned everywhere.
However, amid this intense cacophony of explosions, the group failed to notice that some chunks had evaded their attacks and landed on the ground. Subsequently, these pieces of flesh began to scatter out like worms in every direction.
21, 17, and 18 were all preoccupied with dealing with the direct onslaught of the flesh bullets. In an instant, though, three sticky, pink chunks of flesh directly enveloped them.
“What… what is this?” 17 exclaimed.
“I can’t move!” 18 struggled but found herself unable to move.
“Oh no! I’m sorry, 17, 18! I didn’t expect this!”
21, who was enveloped by the flesh, was the first one who couldn’t hold on. The flesh that was enveloping her expanded and multiplied rapidly, ultimately swallowing her whole.
After swallowing her, the pink flesh suddenly transformed back into a humanoid figure.
Following that, a taller 21 appeared before everyone.
Though her skin remained pink, this new 21 was not only considerably taller than before but also had eyes similar to Evil Buu’s, with black sclera and blood-red pupils, giving her an exceptionally evil appearance.
“Hohohaha!”
The new 21 let out a chillingly maniacal laugh and reached out to attract the trapped 17 and 18 towards her.
“Not good!”
Even though they hadn’t fully understood what had just happened, Lazuli was the first to react. She flew towards 17 and 18, attempting to stop them.
“Kakarot!”
“I know!”
Vegeta and Goku exchanged glances and swiftly approached the enlarged 21, ready to take her on.
Bang! Bang!
Vegeta and Goku attacked from both sides, but to their surprise, before their fists could land, 21 blocked them with her hand.
“This!?”
Both of them were shocked at the same time.
Although she had only blocked one of their strikes, 21’s current display of power and speed was on a completely different level from before.
At this moment, 21 looked disdainful. “Don’t be in such a hurry. After I finish eating 17 and 18, I’ll eat you.”
“What!?”
21 instantly disappeared in front of them. Goku also attempted to use Instant Transmission to intercept her, but as soon as he disappeared, he found himself back in the same spot, having been knocked back by 21.
Vegeta turned to Lazuli and shouted, “Miss Lazuli, get out of the way!”
Almost as soon as he spoke, 21 had already appeared beside Lazuli. Two pink lightning, and 17 and 18 were transformed into two humanoid biscuits before being devoured in one gulp by 21.
“18!”
Lazuli watched in horror as 17 and 18 were consumed by 21. In her fury, she unleashed a massive ki blast toward 21.
But just then, 21 who had just devoured 17 and 18 suddenly released a powerful surge of energy from within her body, bombarding Lazuli’s ki blast in an instant, dispersing it before it could get close.
“This aura… Vegeta, attack quickly!”
Goku, who had been confident all along, now wore a hint of urgency on his face.
The aura of 21 had completely changed, as if she had become an entirely different person from just a moment ago. Her power was now nearly equal to his and Vegeta’s.
Vegeta also realized the danger, and the two of them launched attacks on 21 with all their might.
In an instant, colorful ki blasts filled the sky, all aimed at 21.
Boom! Boom!
Explosions erupted, and massive fireballs shot up into the sky, reaching tens of thousands of meters high. Even the Earth trembled, as if the world was going to end.
After this onslaught, Goku and Vegeta were left staggering, panting heavily.
Although the Super Saiyan 3 form was powerful, the energy consumption was too huge. They had already been fighting for a while, and now exhaustion was catching up with them.
However, to their astonishment, when the smoke from the explosion cleared, 21 stood in the same spot, completely unscathed, with only a bit of dust on her clothes and no sign of injury.
Furthermore, at this moment, Goku and Vegeta finally noticed that 21’s appearance had changed again. Her hair color had shifted from its original white to black resembling that of 17 and 18.
Her aura had now surpassed Goku and Vegeta completely.
“This…she is evolving through absorption?” Vegeta stared wide-eyed, disbelief filling his gaze as he looked at 21, whose Power Level had likely exceeded ten billion.
A sense of fear began to creep in.
He couldn’t help but feel that the 21 before him was even more terrifying than Cell had ever been.
