Goten forcefully pushed Krillin aside. With a swift backhand strike, he sent the looming purple energy ball flying. The ground beneath them erupted in an explosion, and Android 21's body darted towards Goten like a bolt of lightning. An eerie smile still lingered on her lips.
As Android 21's fist came hurtling towards him, Goten caught it mid-air and slammed her into the ground with immense force. Being in her Majin Buu form, Android 21 was still incredibly resilient.
It was clear that, much like Majin Buu, the only way to truly defeat her would be to obliterate every single one of her cells in an instant. Otherwise, it would be impossible to neutralize Android 21 completely.
However, Goten had no intention of eliminating Android 21. He had sought her out because he wanted her to participate in the upcoming tournament against Universe Six.
Rumble!
With a thunderous rumble, Android 21's body was embedded into the hard ground.
Aah!!!
A sharp cry echoed through the air as black and red flames erupted around her body. The ground behind her exploded, creating a massive sinkhole. With a powerful leap, she launched herself at Goten once again.
"Your persistence is impressive!" Goten remarked lightly, effortlessly dodging all of Android 21's attacks.
It seemed as though the more she was beaten, the faster and more ferocious she became. After acquiring Majin Buu's cells, she seemed to possess an inexhaustible energy for battle, even surpassing Fat Buu in this regard.
Meanwhile, Krillin watched Android 21's relentless assault with wide-eyed astonishment. "I can't believe how powerful Android 21 is!" he exclaimed. "I always thought Cell was Dr. Gero's most formidable creation, but Android 21 is on a whole other level."
Krillin was taken aback by the seemingly frail Android 21's immense power. Her speed and strength were clearly on par with Majin Buu and Janemba. He found it hard to believe that Dr. Gero, a mere earthling scientist, could create such a formidable android.
As time ticked away, Android 21 launched hundreds of attacks against Goten, but not a single one landed. She didn't even manage to graze his clothes.
The once arrogant face of Android 21 in her Majin form, wore a look of growing concern. She was beginning to realize the vast chasm that separated her strength from Goten's.
Whoosh!!
But the battle had already begun, and she couldn't afford to hesitate. She moved at breakneck speed, her fists raining down on Goten.
"It's over, 21," Goten said calmly. "Fighting you holds no interest for me."
To others, Android 21 might have seemed formidable. But in Goten's eyes, she was nothing more than a minor nuisance. Even if she possessed Majin Buu's cells, he could easily eliminate her if he so wished.
As Goten's words hung in the air, he caught Android 21's incoming fist. Then, with a swift upward movement, he drove his knee into her abdomen.
boom!
Wow!
A loud boom echoed through the air, followed by a gasp as Android 21 spat out a mouthful of purple blood. Goten's attack seemed to have knocked the wind out of her, sending her body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
In an instant, Goten vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already ahead of Android 21. He lightly tapped her shoulder, sending her crashing into the ground like a meteorite.
boom!
Rumble!
The impact created another massive sinkhole. Android 21's clothes were now in tatters. The black cloth that had once covered her chest was now shredded, offering little to no coverage. She struggled to get up, but it felt as though her strength had been sapped by a potent force. Standing up seemed like an insurmountable task.
Whoosh!!
Suddenly, Goten appeared before Android 21 again. He raised his palm, and a purple sphere of destructive energy quickly formed within it. Android 21 could feel the threat it posed. Her face turned serious. Although her rationality in this form was not as high as in her normal form, her ability to sense danger had become incredibly sharp.
She could clearly perceive the terrifying power of the energy sphere Goten was forming. She knew that it had the potential to obliterate her in an instant.
The destructive energy sphere descended upon Android 21's head and stopped, and Goten's voice echoed around them.
"I have no intention of killing you, but if you continue to fight, I might have to reconsider."
Goten's words left Android 21 momentarily stunned.
In an instant, Android 21 shed her Majin form, reverting to her original state.
"You're saying…you don't plan to kill me?" Android 21 queried, her surprise evident. After all, Earth's warriors had always sought to eradicate the androids, whose primary objective was to eliminate Goku. Some androids were even designed with the intention of obliterating the entire world.
Goten simply nodded in response.
"Then… what is your reason for seeking me out?" Android 21 asked, her suspicion clear. She found it hard to trust Goten's words.
"We have a tournament tomorrow between our universe and others, and we're still one contestant short. Your power is impressive, so I want you to participate," Goten explained his intentions straightforwardly.
Even without transforming, Android 21's inherent strength was formidable, making her a worthy contender for the fight.
"Is that so? Can I refuse?" A sweet smile graced Android 21's face as she tentatively questioned Goten.
"Yes, but then I would have to kill you," Goten replied calmly.
"…"
"Just kidding, the little brother's character is really a bit too violent? I agree to your proposal, is that okay?" Android 21 quickly changed her demeanor, smiling at Goten.
She had a feeling that Goten was telling the truth. With his power, if he wanted to kill her, it would be all too easy. It was no exaggeration to say that he could do it with a mere flick of his wrist.
"Your decision is wise! In that case, come with me!" Goten's tone remained calm as he looked at Android 21, though he couldn't help but steal a few more glances at her. This girl was absolutely stunning, and her voluptuous figure was hard to ignore. The figure was quite wow.
[T/N: I thought her clothes were in tatters and couldn't cover anything! Shame on you!! Take a few more looks though, our face is thicker than Mount Tai.]
After catching Goten's gaze, a subconscious smile appeared on Android 21's face. Despite his power, Goten was still a young man, full of vitality, and it was hard for him to resist the allure of a beautiful woman.
Once the battle was over, Krillin also approached from the side and admired her figure. Android 21 still looked more appealing in this form.
[T/N: Stop flashing woman! Have some public decency. And… did author imply that she doesn't look appealing in pink?! I thought he liked pink and not blue, racist fk. (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)]
"Isn't this Krillin? It's unbelievable. Didn't Earth's warriors despise androids the most? How come Krillin has also been transformed into an android?" Android 21 could tell at a glance that Krillin had become an android, which was surprising.
According to her data, all Z fighters were very anti-androids. But why had Krillin been transformed into an android? It wasn't in her database that Dr. Gero had transformed Krillin, so how did he become one?
Krillin looked embarrassed. Being transformed into an android was a last resort, a decision born out of desperation. If the situation on Earth hadn't been so dire at the time, he wouldn't have wanted to become an android.
As time passed, he was slowly coming to terms with his new reality. As long as he could protect Earth and alleviate some of Goten's burdens, it didn't matter whether he was human or android!
"Don't ask what you shouldn't," Goten said coldly. Krillin was his friend, and his transformation into an android was a result of his helplessness. Android 21's words just now were clearly a jab at Krillin's sore spot.
"All right! Actually, now that Krillin has become an android, I have a way to make Krillin even stronger," Android 21 said after nodding, looking at Krillin again. She had fully mastered the android technology that Dr. Gero had developed.
In Dr. Gero's blueprint for creating androids, there was a concept of fusing androids together. At the time, Dr. Gero believed that the most suitable candidate was Android 17, who was originally human.
If a purely mechanical Android 17 was created and then fused with the original, a supremely powerful ultimate android warrior could be created. This kind of ultimate android warrior was simply incomparable to the likes of Cell.
It was a pity that when he modified Android 17 a few times before, he couldn't clearly flush out his humanity out. Dr. Gero was certainly not willing to let Android 17 become the ultimate android and not obey his orders. So that experiment was never conducted!
Later on, Dr. Gero was killed by Android 17, so there was no time for the Android fusion test.
And now, Krillin seemed to be very similar to Android 17. They were both originally human. What's more, Krillin was a martial artist himself before his transformation. So if an experiment could be completed, then Krillin might surpass Android 17 in power. At that time, he might become a true ultimate android…
"What… what?" Krillin stammered, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Is there a way to make me stronger?" he asked, his voice filled with a desperate hope.
"May I inquire about the method?"
Upon hearing that there was a possibility of increasing his strength, Krillin immediately turned to Android 21, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. His desire to become stronger had always been a driving force in his life.
Even in his dreams, he wanted to become stronger and be able to keep up with Goten's footsteps. Even if he couldn't keep up with Goten's footsteps, at least he shouldn't be a burden to him in battle!
It's just that even if he trained desperately, the gap between him and Goten seemed to only widen. Hearing that he could still become stronger now, he was naturally extremely excited.
As long as he could become stronger, no matter what method he used, no matter how much pain he had to endure, he could accept it.
[T/N: Sigh…. I can see why Goten's got a soft spot for him]
Goten also turned his attention to Android 21, aware of her inherited technological prowess from Dr. Gero. Including the design ideas and the experience of creating an androids. He knew she wasn't joking - she could indeed help Krillin.
"Actually, the method is quite straightforward," Android 21 began, "It's based on a technological concept left by Dr. Gero. The idea is to create a purely mechanical version of you, Krillin, and then fuse the two of you together. The result would be the ultimate android…"
She explained that Dr. Gero had originally intended to transform Android 17 into the ultimate android. However, due to the inability to completely erase Android 17's human emotions and thoughts, he feared that the ultimate android would be uncontrollable and abandoned the idea.
"Ultimate… android?" Krillin echoed, his fists clenched tightly, his body trembling with anticipation. He didn't know what kind of power would be unleashed after the fusion, but he was certain it would be formidable. The term 'ultimate android' seemed to symbolize the immense strength that would result from the fusion.
"Is that how it works?" Goten asked, surprised yet convinced. He recalled how in Dragon Ball GT, Dr. Gero and Dr. Myuu had successfully created a purely mechanized Hell Fighter 17. The fusion of two Android 17s had resulted in a power level comparable to Super Saiyan 4 Goku. Moreover, they could continuously absorb energy, becoming stronger and stronger, truly embodying the term 'ultimate android'.
Also, at that time, the strength of the two No. 17s should not be comparable to that of Krillin now. If Krillin was allowed to fuse together in that way, the result would definitely be quite powerful!
"Okay, 21, how long would it take for you to create a purely mechanized Krillin?" Goten asked, mindful of the upcoming match against the Sixth Universe. He didn't know if No 21 could make a purely mechanized Krillin in a day.
"It's estimated to take about ten days," Android 21 replied, "But with Bulma's help, we might be able to finish sooner. Maybe 3-5 Days."
Goten nodded, understanding that creating an android with the exact personality as Krillin was no easy task. Even if it took a few days, it wouldn't affect the match against the Sixth Universe. After all, with Krillin's current strength, except for the sixth universe's Assassin Hit, no one else was likely to be his opponent.
"Ultimate… android? I can't even begin to imagine the level of power I'll reach. It's truly exciting!" Krillin exclaimed, still engrossed in the thrill of becoming the ultimate android.
"Little brother Goten, you're asking me to help you in the competition and also assist in transforming Krillin. That's quite a lot of work. How do you plan to thank me?" Android 21 asked, her voice, movements, and eyes radiating a captivating charm. Especially with that beautiful facial features and figure. She was simply a proper charming vixen!
"Then how do you want me to thank you?" Goten retorted, "And stop calling me 'little brother', or I might just have to destroy you." His tone was cold, a stark contrast to Android 21's flirtatious demeanor.
'My little brother is not little at all. This 21 is definitely uncontrollable.'
