"Trunks!"
Vegeta's pupils dilated, lost in a daze.
In his mind, the scene of Trunks using his body and power to block Cell's ki blast replayed over and over.
"Wh-why… Even if you share the same name, you're just someone from a parallel world. Why would you do this for me?"
"I..." Vegeta clenched his fists, the aura around him slowly flowing.
"I, Vegeta, when have I ever needed my own son to stand in front of me?"
"I... I am the proud Saiyan Prince."
"Cell!"
"Ahhhhh!"
Around the same time as Vegeta, Goku, who had hidden far away after Piccolo's earlier demise, witnessed Krillin being killed by Cell in a single blow.
In his mind, memories of Krillin and his own experiences flashed like a kaleidoscope.
And on Namek, the scene of Krillin selflessly pushing Gohan away with his own life.
Under extreme rage, an incredibly terrifying aura surged upward.
The two suddenly rising powerful auras caught the attention of Cell and Gohan, who were currently fighting.
Gohan's arm was numb, and he was clearly at a disadvantage in his fight with Cell.
"This feeling... Damn it!"
Cell's face changed drastically, clearly guessing something.
Just as Cell's words fell.
Goku and Vegeta appeared directly in front of Cell using Instant Transmission.
Almost simultaneously, both of them fiercely threw a punch at Cell.
Boom!
Cell was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the ground.
"Dad, Uncle Vegeta."
Gohan saw the two figures standing in front of him, their backs to him.
That golden aura, the constantly flickering electric arcs.
And the tangible sensation of their ki.
Super Saiyan 2.
"Gohan, you can leave Cell to me and Vegeta. Vegeta and I will avenge Piccolo and the others."
Vegeta didn't speak, only giving a slight nod.
Both of them used Instant Transmission simultaneously, landing on the ground.
And about ten meters away was the Super Perfect Cell, who had just climbed out of the large crater.
Cell suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Clearly, being hit hard by two individuals, both at Super Saiyan 2 strength, even Super Perfect Cell couldn't remain unharmed.
"Cell, you will pay for this," Goku's voice carried a hint of coldness.
"Tch... Goku, Vegeta, if you want to kill me, just say so. Wasn't that your original goal?" Cell wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing an extremely arrogant laugh. "Even fighting one against two, what do I, Cell, have to fear?"
As soon as these words fell, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen.
Cell's body slammed into the rock wall dozens of meters away.
Clearly, Vegeta had made the move.
"Let's finish this quickly, no more surprises," Vegeta's gaze was cold.
After Trunks was killed by Cell, he had no mind for games; he only wanted to end the battle as quickly as possible.
"Got it," Goku also nodded.
The two accelerated and charged towards Cell, who stumbled as he got up.
"Goku, Vegeta, don't think I can't handle you!"
If he hadn't been hit so hard by the two of them, his injuries wouldn't still be unrecovered.
In a real fight, even one against two, Cell didn't think he had no chance of winning.
His ki was still above that of Super Saiyan 2 Goku and Vegeta.
Though not by much, his power was invincible!
"Hmph, since you want to die, I'll see who survives!"
Cell's body suddenly swelled up.
Super Perfect Cell's body expansion was completely different from when he spit out Android 18 in the original story; there was almost no buffer, and his body inflated into a giant balloon.
"What is that?"
Vegeta and Goku couldn't help but stop their attack.
They felt an incomparable energy within Cell's constantly expanding body.
If the energy inside exploded, something very terrifying might happen.
Super Perfect Cell, resembling a pufferfish, saw the conflicted expressions on Goku's and Vegeta's faces, and his voice, distorted from being bloated, said:
"Hahahahaha, attack, why don't you attack!"
"Hehe, you're scared now, aren't you?"
Cell's voice once again infuriated Vegeta, who truly wanted to unleash a Final Flash, but Goku shook his head to stop him.
"As expected of Goku, it seems you've discovered something. That's right, in one minute, I will explode, and when that happens, the entire Solar System will be destroyed."
"Of course, you can also attack me, but that will make the explosion happen even faster."
Gohan also came to Goku's and Vegeta's side, similarly hearing Cell's almost mocking voice.
"30 seconds left!"
Goku was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to Vegeta: "The aftermath is up to you, Vegeta. I'll take Cell to a safe place."
"With that kind of explosion range, where is safe...?"
"There is one. I know of one place where, even if Cell self-destructs, there won't be any major problems," Goku thought of King Kai's residence, who wished to remain anonymous.
"Gohan, if I don't make it back alive, take good care of your mother," Goku stroked Gohan's head.
"Dad..."
Gohan wanted to say something.
But Goku didn't give Gohan a chance; instead, he walked towards Cell.
At this moment, in the Chat Group.
[Uchiha Madara: "Where is the safe place that Goku said?"]
From Cell and the others' conversation, everyone could roughly determine how terrifying Cell's self-destruction was.
It was actually enough to destroy a star system.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "King Kai's residence. If Goku doesn't want to move Cell to other star systems and cause the death of innocent lives, the only place he can think of and go to is King Kai's residence. The space there is quite special, and even if Cell self-destructs, it can be greatly weakened."]
[Kumoko: "King Kai? Is that the slightly chubby, strange guy who taught Goku Kaio-ken? Speaking of which, I feel like I've heard the words 'Kai' somewhere before, ugh~ it feels a bit familiar."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Yes, that's the place."]
Beryl automatically ignored Kumoko's later words.
The live broadcast continued. Goku placed his hand on Cell's body, preparing to use Instant Transmission to move Cell away.
"Oh, that won't do. If you take away my delicious food, I'll be very troubled."
Goku was kicked away.
The sudden voice caught the attention of everyone in the Chat Group.
At this moment, where Goku had been standing, there was a woman with reddish-brown hair.
[Kumoko: "This woman, I remember she's also an Android, what was her name?"]
[Rimuru: "Android 21 or Vomi, but what is she doing here? Food?"]
[Asakura Hao: "Perhaps she sees Cell as food, who knows."]
[Kinomoto Sakura: "Th-that's too terrifying!"]
Although Cell was an insect, wouldn't eating such a large insect be creepy?
