Hearing Vegeta's words, Talot smiled at him and shook his head.
This made Vegeta a little anxious.
He already guessed this much and still wouldn't say it, it was impossible not to be annoyed.
"I already said, even if Cell becomes perfect, I can easily destroy him. The reason I'm telling you so much and letting you understand about Cell is just to let you know who the real enemy is," Talot said.
After receiving Talot's answer, everyone fell into silence.
They were just being simple-minded, but it turned out they were overthinking things.
"Then... how should we find that Android called Cell? After all, you won't take action, but we have to!" Piccolo spoke first.
He already understood Talot's meaning. Android 17 and Android 18 were not their enemies. The huge trouble they had to solve now was that monster called Cell.
According to Talot's previous description, Cell's potential was immeasurable. Before becoming perfect, he already possessed extremely powerful Battle Power and could grow by absorbing the life essence of humans.
Such a monster was full of threats. If he wasn't eliminated, he would definitely become a disaster in the future.
But they didn't even know what Cell looked like or where he was, so how could they eliminate him?
"Don't worry, Piccolo. Actually, when I came to your timeline, my perception had already covered Earth. I've already found that guy and can take you there at any time... But before that, you'd better deal with this laboratory. I won't do it," Talot said with a smile.
He had already made himself clear, there was no need to say it any more explicitly.
Smart people weren't stupid.
Hearing this, the group present looked at each other.
Things had developed to this point, and now they could only move forward, not retreat.
Just as everyone was pondering, Talot turned and walked out of the Secret Research Lab.
As he left, everyone began to take action.
Actually, one person was enough, as long as they destroyed everything here, especially Cell's embryo.
However, in order to be more precise and leave no hidden dangers, they carried out a meticulous destruction.
Until all the hidden dangers were cleared, everyone left the underground research institute, and Piccolo added a final Golden Energy Wave.
*'Rumble~~!!!!'*
The dazzling fire soared into the sky, and rubble flew everywhere. After completely destroying Dr. Gero's Secret Research Lab, Piccolo turned his gaze to Talot, waiting for his next command.
Talot didn't waste any words and used Instant Transmission with a wave of his hand.
A burst of invisible Space Power emerged, skillfully enveloping everyone present.
Pa! As Talot's crisp snap of his fingers fell.
Everyone felt a dizzying sensation, and the next second they disappeared from this area.
...
The scene changed.
In a small town located in the Southern Islands.
A humanoid reptile with a green body was searching for its prey.
This reptile was none other than Cell.
Around him, dozens of humans had already been drained by him, leaving only their clothes scattered on the ground.
"It seems there are no living people left in this town. In such a remote place, the life essence I can absorb is pitifully small. Next, I still have to go to big cities. The huge number of humans will provide me with a constant stream of life energy. By then, even if those guys find out, it won't matter," Cell said with a sinister smile.
He had already planned his next step, but he didn't know that his death was approaching.
Swoosh~~!! Suddenly, a sound of air being torn apart rang out.
Cell's whole body trembled violently after sensing the several auras that had appeared out of nowhere.
He subconsciously turned around, and the people who came into view immediately made his eyes widen, his face filled with horror.
[Vegeta, Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Krillin, and Trunks!! Hmm?! Who is that guy...? How did they know I was here?] Seeing so many people at once, Cell was a little at a loss.
Judging from the situation, they were obviously coming for him! How did these guys find him?
The group had now recovered from the wondrous sensation of Instant Transmission.
All eyes were focused on Cell.
It would have been better if they hadn't sensed him, because once they did, they were immediately startled.
The energy radiating from this monster was strange, like a combination of all their auras!
And not just theirs, but even the energy of Frieza and his father.
"As you can see, this is Cell," Talot explained to the group, his teasing gaze sweeping over Cell.
In just a few seconds, he had assessed Cell's current strength.
At this point in time, Cell had not yet absorbed much life energy and had not grown to the point where he could rival Android 17 and Android 18, or even Perfect Cell Piccolo.
But even so, his Battle Power was high enough, reaching over 700 million!
"This guy is Cell? How can he have my energy?!"
"What a monster, he's practically a combination of all of us!"
Krillin and Tien Shinhan were shocked the moment they saw Cell, by the stitched-together aura emanating from him.
"Dr. Gero, that madman, actually created such a monster!" Piccolo's expression turned extremely unpleasant, his heart filled with anger, because he also felt his energy coming from Cell.
Without a doubt, this guy must have his cells.
"What a joke!! How can this Prince's energy appear on such an ugly thing!!" The emotional Vegeta, upon sensing Cell's aura, erupted in anger.
He directly entered the Super Saiyan First Stage state, his strength breaking through his previous limits.
This was because his potential had been released to some extent due to being healed by a Senzu Bean after being seriously injured. After transforming into Super Saiyan First Stage, his Battle Power reached 550 million, very close to Cell.
This outburst undoubtedly surprised Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Krillin, while Future Trunks hesitated, looked at Talot, and calmed down.
He now knew that this senior who also came from another timeline was on their side, so no matter whether his dad could beat this Cell or not, Talot would eventually take action.
"Vegeta, don't be impulsive! Wasn't the previous beating enough?" Piccolo said, trying to stop him.
Hearing this, Vegeta snorted disdainfully, "Do you think I'm like you? I couldn't beat Android 18 before, but that's not necessarily the case now! Don't forget our Saiyan's characteristics, our strength increases greatly after recovering from serious injuries! Besides, this Green-skinned Bug's energy isn't that strong!"
With that, the golden aura around Vegeta became even more intense.
He exploded to his peak in one breath, and the terrifying pressure expanded, turning into a hurricane sweeping towards Cell.
Faced with this sudden pressure, Cell was clearly affected, his body retreating several meters.
"Hmm?! You actually blocked it? I underestimated you! But you're still just a Green-skinned Bug." Vegeta mocked arrogantly.
He forgets the pain once the wound is healed, and he's already conceited again after just suffering a crushing defeat.
But that's Vegeta.
Compared to the Vegeta from Talot's timeline, this Vegeta is 10 years older, but he has experienced too little and has not yet begun to transform.
[Vegeta is finished!] Piccolo's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he sighed inwardly.
In Piccolo's view, this Cell was definitely very strong, at least stronger than Super Saiyan Vegeta.
After sighing, Piccolo looked at Talot, who was watching the show, and could only sigh again.
He also roughly understood Talot's intentions.
Tien Shinhan and Krillin watched Vegeta and Cell, just watching quietly. They couldn't offer any opinions, and they couldn't possibly deal with this Cell.
...
Having endured Vegeta's pressure, Cell's emotions were particularly intense at this time.
After traveling through time and space to this era, he could have directly gone to these guys to devour them.
But just to be on the safe side, worried that he would misjudge the strength of this group and be killed before he had grown up, he took a steady approach, first absorbing ordinary people to increase his strength.
In the current situation, Cell had already reached his limit.
He wasn't going to look for them, allowing them to live a little longer.
But as it turned out, these people came to die first.
"Humph! Vegeta, you are indeed as arrogant and conceited as the rumors say. Judging from your conversation just now, Android 17 and Android 18 should have already awakened, right? After being defeated by Android 18, you're still alive, not hiding away, but still showing off here, do you really think you're so great just because you're a Saiyan Prince?" Cell's provocation was not something ordinary people could compare to.
His sharp words made Vegeta's face flush red.
"Looking for death!!" Without hesitation, Vegeta strode towards Cell.
A terrifying iron fist struck directly at Cell's face.
This strike, ordinary people could not avoid! Especially among those of the same level, Vegeta's fist was known for its sharpness.
However, this punch was nothing in front of Cell.
On one hand, the difference in strength was too great, and on the other hand, Cell had Vegeta's cells in his body, so he knew Vegeta's fighting style like the back of his hand.
Without choosing to dodge or retreat, Cell used his tail to wrap around Vegeta's arm, making it difficult for Vegeta to move.
"What?!" His full-force strike was easily defused, and Vegeta once again transformed into a Vegeta of tragedy.
Before he could react and resist, Vegeta only felt dizzy.
Cell took him straight into the sky, and then slammed him hard into a tall building.
A loud *'BOOM!!!!'*
The high-rise collapsed, and Vegeta was buried in the ruins.
"Is that all? You're really useless, no wonder you, as a Prince, have always been suppressed by Son Goku." Cell continued to mock, his tone full of teasing.
Not long after this voice fell, the ruins suddenly exploded, and Vegeta gritted his teeth, his body flashing with golden flames.
"Damn it! Damn Green-skinned Bug! This great one will tear you to pieces!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vegeta put his hands together, and with a roar, terrifying energy rapidly gathered.
"Galick Gun!!"
A violent light purple energy blasted out, heading straight for Cell in mid-air.
This strike was indeed powerful and posed a threat to Cell.
But Cell was not stupid, he would not stay in place waiting to be hit.
With an evil smile, Cell quickly spiraled, avoiding this devastating blow at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing this, Vegeta angrily ended his energy attack and rushed up to meet him.
An intense melee chase began.
On the ground, everyone watched in stunned silence.
Especially Tien Shinhan and Krillin, their strength was too weak to analyze the current situation.
Traveler's expression was serious, and Future Trunks' expression was even more solemn.
"Dad is too anxious, this Cell's strength is not inferior to Android 17 and Android 18." Trunks said.
"Remember your dad's shortcomings, and don't be like him in the future! Vegeta underestimates this monster's strength too much, although I don't want to admit it, none of us are this monster's match." Piccolo said, then looked at Talot.
He was sure that Talot definitely knew how strong this Cell was.
But he still brought them to the door, undoubtedly intentionally letting them face Cell's power first, to know their weakness, and then take action.
"Don't look at me, just keep watching, but there is one thing I still think it is necessary to tell you, I think you should have felt it yourself, with the improvement of strength, with the rise of realm, you have reached the end of a road! Difficult to make progress." Talot enlightened Piccolo.
This was intentional.
If Piccolo knew in advance how to become stronger in the future, how strong would the future Piccolo of this timeline be? In fact, he had already done this in his timeline, and he directly took Piccolo to Namek Planet and let Lagar cultivate him.
Piccolo gasped and looked at Talot seriously.
Talot's words spoke to his heart.
"Do you mean, I should go find my other half?" Piccolo said bluntly.
These words made Trunks curious, while Tien Shinhan and Krillin widened their eyes.
"You directly thought of the key point through my few words? Indeed, this is a method, it is certain that after assimilation, the complete you will be at least ten times stronger than you are now, Android 17 and Android 18, and this Cell, will no longer be your opponents.
"Of course, there are other ways besides this, but I still suggest that you assimilate into one, because Kami Piccolo's life is not long."
Talot said.
Hearing this, Piccolo fell into his own imagination.
He didn't know when the idea of merging with Kami Piccolo started.
In any case, the idea was very strong now. If Talot hadn't appeared, he would have already gone to find him if he wasn't dead.
It wasn't until a long time had passed that Piccolo came back to his senses. The look in his eyes as he looked at Talot was full of desire.
He wanted to become stronger and didn't want to be crushed by the Super Saiyans.
"Please, teach me." Piccolo's words shocked Tien Shinhan and Krillin even more.
Was this really the Piccolo they knew?
