The situation before them was about to change. Barring any surprises, the gates of Hell would soon be closed. Whether it was Dr. Gero or Dr. Myuu, Their true target was Son Goku.
As for the chaos on Earth, they trusted that Super 17 could handle it easily. So the moment Son Goku stepped into the Underworld, they would likely choose to shut the gates of Hell.
Once that happened, those who were defeated would naturally return to Hell.
Dende nodded slightly.
He, too, believed in Son Goku. But the current situation still made him nervous.
Boom! Rumble!!!
Just then, the originally surging rift began to tremble violently and countless pitch-black clouds began to rapidly churn and roll.
"It seems…it's happening faster than I expected." Jiang Chen murmured softly, and his gaze instinctively shifted into the distance.
"Aspara San, what's wrong?" Dende asked in confusion, following Jiang Chen's gaze. As soon as he looked, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"It's closing! The Gate of Hell is closing! Goku San did it!" Dende's excited voice rang out, and an expression of excitement appeared uncontrollably on his face.
"I suppose you could say that. But don't celebrate too soon. I fear those two from Hell are trying to trap Son Goku in there." Jiang Chen shook his head and replied seriously.
"What did you say?"
The moment his words fell, a figure instantly appeared beside Jiang Chen.
"Dr. Gero and Dr. Myuu are most likely trying to trap Son Goku inside Hell. At this point, trying to leave might not be so easy."
Seeing Piccolo appear suddenly, Jiang Chen wasn't surprised and calmly explained.
"This…"
Hearing Jiang Chen's explanation, Dende's excitement abruptly froze.
"Dende, I'll leave this place to you for now. I'm heading over!" Piccolo said, and in the next moment, his figure shot off toward the massive passageway in the distance.
"Ah, alright!" Before Dende could finish his words, Piccolo's figure had already vanished.
"Piccolo!" Dende called out, but received no response.
Watching Piccolo depart, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.
He was a bit surprised. Even though the plot had shifted somewhat, the original trajectory seemed to be returning to its starting point.
But that surprise only lasted a moment.
He quickly dismissed it as it was just a minor issue. To him, he was merely a spectator right now.
Being here served two purposes: first, to personally observe and possibly select Son Goku and Vegeta; and second, for his own training.
And he had to admit, Whether it was due to the different world rules or not, While residing in the GT time and space, his base battle power had been increasing far more rapidly than he had imagined.
In a short time, his foundational strength had already jumped several levels.
At this speed, even without considering any transformations, his power alone would soon reach terrifying heights.
Shifting his gaze away from the giant passageway in the distance, Jiang Chen soon noticed the coastline.
At this moment, Both versions of Android 17 had converged.
The Android 17 from Earth had completely lost his perception and consciousness. The Hell 17 was equally mechanical and emotionless.
However, the moment the two approached, They immediately began to merge.
That's right.
At this moment, the two 17s began to fuse. And as they did, a terrifying aura burst forth from the center.
Blinding light enveloped the entire Earth and when the light faded, a Bulland-new figure slowly emerged.
This new Android 17 had completely transformed: his short hair had become long, his youthful face now carried a sinister air, and a powerful, overwhelming aura radiated in all directions.
Just feeling this aura, Everyone on Earth at that moment felt their hearts sink.
"This energy…" Vegeta's pupils contracted sharply.
A look of shock appeared on his face. Even with his strength, he was deeply shaken.
Let alone the others.
Very soon, one by one, the Z-Warriors began to gather rapidly. And just as they came together, Super Android 17 charged toward them.
Combat was on the verge of breaking out.
But it was obvious, this new Android 17 was not someone the current Z-Warriors could handle.
And as the people on Earth fell into crisis, In Hell, Son Goku was now completely trapped within.
The closing of the Gate of Hell meant that not even he could escape.
Especially since this wasn't an ordinary Hell, but a deeper, more sinister level of the underworld.
Now that the balance between the Yin and Yang realms had collapsed, Even King Yemma had no power over the situation.
Back then, Son Goku had been able to return from Hell to the underworld, and even to Snake Way.
But that was under normal circumstances. Now, however, was anything but normal.
In fact, it was a truly dire situation. And what made things worse: Son Goku couldn't simply leave even if he wanted to.
One enemy after another, all from his past, appeared before him. While one or two weren't much of a threat individually, When too many gathered, even Son Goku found it difficult to handle.
And with his body still in a shrunken state, unable to use Super Saiyan 4, he could barely release his full power.
Which made the situation even trickier.
Fortunately, thanks to Goku's strength, these were still only considered inconveniences.
He quickly began to eliminate them one by one.
Until, he came face to face with two all-too-familiar figures.
"Son Goku! You damn monkey!"
Two familiar voices shouted at once. And as they rang out, two familiar silhouettes appeared, flanking Goku from the left and right.
"Frieza! Cell!" Goku called out cheerfully, smiling as he recognized them.
"You bastard!" Seeing that annoying grin on Goku's face, Frieza was the first to lose control and roared in fury.
In the next moment, he raised his right hand and fired a Destructo Disc (Kienzan) straight at Goku.
"That's Krillin's technique!"
Goku's smile didn't fade. He leapt lightly into the air, stepping right onto the Destructo Disc.
Using its momentum, he slashed apart one of Hell's thorned spikes in front of him.
"Ha!"
Goku then spun and struck with one of those very spikes himself.
With his youthful face and playful fighting style, he almost seemed to have returned to his teenage years.
But Frieza and Cell?
They were not feeling that nostalgia. They only felt like they were being toyed with.
Their rage exploded. But it was pointless.
Whether it was Frieza or Cell, the gap between them and Goku now was immeasurable, a complete chasm.
Even with Goku in a shrunken form, even without transforming into Super Saiyan, He was still toying with them effortlessly.
In the end, he even froze them both completely.
