Yuujin didn't even need to ask—he could already guess why Tights and Snake Princess hadn't evacuated with Bulma and the others. His heart was filled with both gratitude and frustration.
Those two foolish women!
"Yuujin, are we really going to use the Spirit Bomb here?"
Looking a little hesitant, Gokumi asked.
"Yeah, let's do it. You guys cover me and buy me a little time."
Quickly adjusting his emotions, Yuujin responded.
Although using the Spirit Bomb on Earth was indeed dangerous, they had already been pushed to this point. That stubborn woman, Vegea, refused to fuse with Gokumi, so whether they wanted to or not, they had no choice but to use it now!
"Alright, leave Cell to us, Yuujin. You just focus on preparing the Spirit Bomb!"
Nodding, Gokumi reassured him.
"You think you can use the Spirit Bomb?"
"I won't let you succeed!"
Hearing their conversation, Cell sneered.
In another world, Son Goku also used the Spirit Bomb, and even Cell himself had mastered the technique. He knew all too well how powerful and dangerous it was.
Thanks to Yuujin, most humans in this world had undergone martial arts training, greatly enhancing the planet's energy reserves. If Yuujin truly managed to gather the entire Earth's energy into a Spirit Bomb, even Cell in his current state would undoubtedly be annihilated!
"Cell, you're indeed strong now, but unless you can kill all of us in an instant, do you really think you can stop us?"
Yuujin sneered in return.
"You're right. If you all focused solely on escaping and hiding, even I wouldn't be able to take you down quickly. You'd definitely buy enough time to use the Spirit Bomb."
"But stopping you isn't the only option I have!"
With a mocking expression, Cell floated into the air and formed a ki blast in his palm, aiming it at the Earth below.
"Look, Yuujin, Gokumi."
"If you dare use the Spirit Bomb, I'll destroy Earth right now!"
"My body contains the cells of both Frieza and King Cold. I can survive in the vacuum of space, so even if Earth is gone, it won't matter to me."
"But you guys can't. And even if you somehow manage to survive in space, without Earth and its people, you won't be able to use the Spirit Bomb!"
Although Cell's confidence had inflated alongside his increasing power, he wasn't foolish enough to let his opponents unleash a technique that could destroy him.
"Cell, you're despicable!"
Yuujin, Chi-Chi, and the others all looked grim, while Gokumi couldn't help but curse in anger.
"I'm despicable? We're all the same."
"You want to gather the power of the entire Earth and its people to defeat me—isn't that just as despicable?"
With a cold expression, Cell spoke indifferently.
At this point, everyone was fighting for survival—who cared about honor?
Gokumi wanted to argue further, but Yuujin stopped her.
"Gokumi, enough."
"Cell, don't destroy this planet. We won't use the Spirit Bomb against you."
With Cell using the entire Earth as leverage, Yuujin had no choice but to abandon the Spirit Bomb plan. If they pushed Cell too far and he really destroyed the planet, their situation would become even more dire.
"Now that's more like it."
Smirking, Cell dispersed the ki blast in his hand.
With Super Android 18 already disintegrated, as long as Yuujin and the others didn't use the Spirit Bomb, he had nothing to fear!
The situation couldn't have been worse. Yuujin turned toward Vegea once more.
"Vegea, you've seen it for yourself. Without the Spirit Bomb, we have no way of defeating Cell."
"I'll say it one more time—fuse with Gokumi. As long as you two fuse and defeat Cell, saving Earth, I'll never try to control or force you again. I'll return your freedom. As long as you don't become our enemy, no matter where you go or what you do, I won't interfere."
"Hmph, even if you say that…"
Vegea's gaze wavered. She had to admit that Yuujin's offer was tempting, but the thought of performing that ridiculous fusion dance still made her hesitate.
"So indecisive—it's infuriating!"
"Vegea, are you doing this or not?"
"I think you're just scared! You're a useless woman—crazy and dumb. A so-called Saiyan princess? You're nothing but a coward!"
Android 18's voice rang out as she directly berated Vegea.
As expected, Vegea nearly exploded with rage upon hearing this.
A mere Android 18? A mere android? How dare she call Vegea crazy, dumb, and a coward?!
Who gave her the right?!
"What, am I wrong? If you're not a coward, then hurry up and fuse with Gokumi!"
"Even Dark Android18 and I could do it—what's stopping you?"
"Damn you, Android 18! I won't forget this!"
"Kakarrot, fuse with me right now!"
Android 18 smirked mockingly, while Vegea, her pride ignited, immediately relented.
"You've finally come around, Vegea! Alright, let's fuse quickly!"
Hearing this, Gokumi beamed with joy, while Yuujin, Chi-Chi, and the others cast appreciative glances at 18.
Well done, Android 18!
"Hmph, do you think I'll give you a second chance?"
"Die, Vegea!"
In an instant, Cell teleported right in front of Vegea and thrust his hand through her chest.
"C-Cel…l, you bastard…!"
Vegea coughed up a mouthful of blood, her teeth clenched in fury as she glared at Cell.
"Vegea!"
"Cell!!!"
Yuujin, Gokumi, and the others roared in anger, their energy erupting as they lunged at Cell. But Cell swiftly withdrew his arm and retreated at high speed, putting distance between himself and his enraged foes.
"Hmph, Vegea is done for. Let's see how you fuse now!"
With a cold sneer, Cell's expression was filled with smug satisfaction.
Earlier, due to his own arrogance, he had allowed Android 18 and Dark Android 18 to fuse into Super Android 18, nearly leading to his own destruction.
Did these fools really think he would make the same mistake twice?
Ignoring Cell, Yuujin quickly supported Vegea and placed a Senzu Bean into her mouth.
"Vegea, swallow the Senzu Bean quickly."
Feeling her life slipping away, Vegea struggled but managed to swallow the Senzu Bean. Instantly, a sense of relief washed over her as her injuries began healing rapidly.
Seeing this from afar, Cell's expression twisted in fury—he had completely forgotten that these people had those miraculous Senzu Beans capable of restoring strength and healing wounds.
Damn it! He should have finished Vegea off completely just now!
But it wasn't too late!
"You should have just died! You keep getting in my way!"
"Vegea, I'll just kill you again!"
"No, I'll kill all of you!"
Losing all patience, and unwilling to take any chances, Cell decided to eliminate Yuujin and his companions once and for all. With a stomp, he propelled himself toward them at full speed…
To be continued…
