Chapter 21: The First Encounter

16 looked at John Doe indifferently and said, "John Doe, I was created by Dr. Gero to kill you. Before we fight, is there anything you want to say?"

Before John Doe could speak, 17 spoke up, "16, John Doe spared me and 18 once. Give him a break and let him go. Anyway, Dr. Gero has already been killed by me."

After hearing 17's words, John Doe couldn't help but pat his head and said, "Although I'm glad to hear you say that, at least it proves you're not a bad person, but why does it sound so unpleasant to me!"

"16, let's go to the other side to fight. Let me see how powerful the android created by Dr. Gero to deal with me is." After saying this, John Doe led the way and flew towards a distant plain.

16 followed closely, and 17 and 18 looked at each other and flew along.

Vegeta and Krillin naturally followed along.

Looking at John Doe in his normal state, 16 said, "Transform into a Super Saiyan. In your normal form, you're no match for me."

"Of course, I'm not like Son Goku, who likes to slowly release his strength. I like to use my full strength to defeat my opponents in one go." After saying this, John Doe began to power up.

Soon, the entire earth began to tremble, and the gravel on the ground began to fly upwards. Finally, John Doe shouted, and a huge golden aura surrounded him, and the powerful energy shot straight up into the sky.

In the instant that John Doe's energy burst forth, a huge shock wave spread out.

Vegeta, Future Trunks, and Gohan directly transformed into Super Saiyans to resist this shock wave, while the weaker Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and Piccolo were directly blown away by this shock wave.

In the test instruments of 17 and 18, the alarm kept ringing, indicating that John Doe's strength had already affected their safety.

18 exclaimed in surprise, "How could his strength have increased so much? This is not a state that a normal Super Saiyan can reach!"

17 also said, "That stupid Dr. Gero, the data he collected was not complete."

"17, can you beat John Doe now?" 18 asked.

17 shook his head and said, "Based on the current energy level, I'm not his match at all. If I can fight a war of attrition with him and wait until his stamina is reduced to a certain extent, I might be able to defeat him with my infinite energy."

In fact, 17 was giving himself a pat on the back. At this moment, John Doe's strength was the same as Son Goku's, and he had already reached the peak of Super Saiyan 1. As long as there was an opportunity, John Doe could break through to Super Saiyan 2.

It can be said that John Doe could still defeat 2-3 17s without any problem. It's also their fault. After being modified by Dr. Gero, 17 and 18 were permanently sealed because they disobeyed Dr. Gero's orders.

So, since being modified, the two of them have been in a state of hibernation, without any time to practice. If they had a few years of practice time, the gap between them and John Doe would not be so large.

Looking at the powerful John Doe, 17 suddenly thought of the absent Son Goku. From the collected data, Son Goku's talent for cultivation was no less than John Doe's. Now that John Doe's strength is so high, Son Goku's strength is naturally not weak.

"Damn Dr. Gero." 17 couldn't help but curse Dr. Gero. If it weren't for him, his strength wouldn't have remained stagnant for so many years.

16 looked at John Doe, who was enveloped in a huge golden aura, and his originally calm eyes finally showed surprise. He exclaimed, "You really surprised me. I never thought that your strength would be so powerful."

John Doe's transformation was not over yet. After powering up, John Doe slowly retracted the golden aura around him, and eventually, all the golden aura disappeared from the surface of his body.

At this moment, John Doe finally took his fighting stance and said, "I call my current state the Super Saiyan Full Power State, which is also the limit state of the Super Saiyan."

"16, if you want to kill me, it depends on whether you can defeat me in this state. Come on, let me see how powerful the android created by Dr. Gero over the years is."

Future Trunks, who was standing next to him, saw that Uncle John Doe wanted to fight the mysterious Android 16 alone, and he was so nervous that he said to Vegeta, "Dad, it's too dangerous for Uncle John Doe to fight Android 16 alone. Let's go together?"

After saying this, Future Trunks was about to go up to help, but he was stopped by Vegeta.

Vegeta said, "This is John Doe's fight. As long as he doesn't invite us, none of us can interfere. This is the dignity of being a Saiyan."

"But Uncle John Doe, he's going to die!" Future Trunks said.

"Are you a Saiyan or not? Are you my son, Future Trunks? Where's your Saiyan dignity?" Vegeta shouted.

John Doe was speechless, and 16, 17, and 18 also looked at Future Trunks.

Future Trunks heard Vegeta's words and also shouted sadly, "I have no dignity. After you, Uncle Krillin, Uncle Piccolo, Uncle Tien Shinhan, and Brother Gohan were killed by these inhumane androids, I lost my dignity. I don't want you to die. I don't want to experience that kind of unbearable pain again!"

Vegeta looked at his son from the future, and his originally hard heart softened. He slowly raised his hand and placed it on Future Trunks' head, then slowly said, "Son."

This was the first time Vegeta called Future Trunks "son". He continued, "Rest assured, this era has already changed. Your Uncle John Doe didn't die, and Kakarot also ate the special medicine you sent. So this world will definitely not become the future you described."

"You also need to work hard in this world. After we eliminate these androids, you can return to the future world and eliminate the two androids over there."

Future Trunks felt Vegeta's gentleness for the first time and nodded.

"Okay, let's see how John Doe and 16 fight." Vegeta said.

After saying this, the two of them turned their attention back to the battlefield.
