When Gero produced androids, he would plant a bomb in their bodies and use them as expendable shields to cover himself when necessary, or blow them up and rebuild them if they proved disobedient.
In addition, there was another way to use them—as attack weapons to die together with the enemy!
Now these androids were planning to detonate themselves and take Raditz with them. Under Boundless's command, they kept harassing Raditz, their bodies glowing increasingly red.
The cyborgs blocked Raditz from all directions, then used their suicidal explosions to engulf him.
Boundless showed a cruel and joyful smile. He had strengthened the power of the bombs beyond Gero's original design. If they exploded in such a confined space, the explosive energy would undoubtedly consume Raditz.
"It seems I'm being underestimated." Raditz kicked away the android clutching his arm tightly and blasted a ki wave at Boundless.
Boundless opened his hands and easily absorbed the ki wave. The whole process took no more than two seconds. He smiled, his eyes suddenly widening as all the androids rushed from every direction at once.
At the same time as their pounce, all the androids exploded together!
The turbulent shockwave shook the entire space, and a massive explosion erupted from the small research facility. The scorching energy flow shot straight into the sky like a volcanic eruption, countless flames flying upward, blasting the entire island apart. The airflow whirled in the void, scraping off a layer of seawater like frosting from a cake, directly evaporating an entire section of ocean.
On the distant sea, many fishermen on floating boats witnessed the island emitting intense red light, as if the blazing sun itself was shining brilliantly across heaven and earth! The combination of dazzling beauty and grandeur presented a suffocating scene, and some people even saw a silhouette floating in the vast fireworks.
It was Raditz's figure. He stood motionless in the smoke and dust after the explosion. An explosion of this magnitude couldn't hurt him at all. But the entire island had been bombed and sunk, and the research facility was completely destroyed along with the flames.
"I actually forgot that you can absorb energy. I was careless." Raditz waved his hand, clearing away the smoke and dust, while Boundless soared above the sea, completely calm.
This guy seemed to have expected it, and applauded Raditz: "Is this prelude satisfactory?"
"Prelude?" Raditz snorted coldly, his figure flashing quickly. Without the protection of the androids at this moment, Boundless was exposed before Raditz's eyes—a sitting duck!
Bang!
With a thunderous noise, Raditz transformed into a Super Saiyan and punched Boundless in the chest, piercing him directly. A 17-meter wave exploded in the sea area behind them, the vortex churning violently. He didn't hold back like he had against No. 17—he just wanted to kill the culprit!
Since energy bombs were useless, he had to defeat him through hand-to-hand combat.
According to past experience, when Boundless used the recovery ability of liquid metal, he couldn't absorb energy simultaneously, and then he could be destroyed with ki.
But the moment Raditz punched through Boundless, Boundless didn't rush to recover. Instead, he clung to Raditz's arm, opened his mouth, revealing the energy cannon within!
A massive energy beam burst out suddenly, a beam of light shooting up into the sky, grazing over Raditz's head. The golden light of the Super Saiyan was submerged in the bright yellow energy beam, his shadow looming within.
After performing the attack, Boundless broke away and retreated to a safe distance, repairing the hole in his chest completely.
The energy beam streaked across the sky and rushed into space. Raditz blocked all the energy with one hand, and after the light passed, he was completely unharmed.
"Boundless, your strength has also improved. It seems you've indeed gained considerable inspiration from the androids, but to me, you're still too weak!"
Raditz twisted his wrist and spoke coldly. Whether it was the explosion or the energy beam just now, a few years ago either could have killed Raditz instantly, but dealing with him in his current Super Saiyan state was simply scratching an itch.
Boundless had the strength of No. 17, but compared to Raditz, he was far behind. The only headache was his repair ability. Raditz was considering using the Mafuba to end the battle.
"Hehe, who do you think provided the technology for the stabilization system of No. 17 and No. 18's Eternal Energy Furnaces? And whose invention was the energy supply cycle and chip fusion of No. 13?" Boundless laughed instead. "Gero was a genius, but I was the one who finally completed the research. My evolution is not over yet..."
Evolution? Raditz realized it was absolutely impossible for Boundless to dare expose his existence so blatantly without reason. Obviously, his powerful androids had been destroyed, and No. 17 and No. 18 seemed to be out of control. He appeared to know that his strength was inferior to Raditz's.
But he still showed up, swaggering confidently.
In the first two days of using the androids to locate him, no trace had been found, but now there was his signal. It showed that he had the ability to block tracking, but he deliberately exposed himself. Why? Because of his extreme self-confidence—he wanted to see people's eyes of despair, as he said, "knowing everything but being unable to do anything about it."
"Coming soon!" Boundless opened his mouth exaggeratedly. "My companion."
After saying these words, Raditz suddenly felt a tremor. The blue sky seemed to be torn apart by a black rift, and a gloomy cave like a whirlpool expanded above his head.
Visible to the naked eye, there were many planets covered by metal and machinery flying toward Earth! Those were offshoots of Big Gete Star, parts under Boundless's chip control.
The so-called companion was another chip.
All the fragments of Big Gete Star were gathering, passing through the dimensional cave and directly migrating to Earth's vicinity. Cooler's will and Boundless's will would engulf Earth, then devour the entire Northern Galaxy.
Of course, the first priority was to eliminate Raditz and complete their revenge.
"Impossible! They're scattered all over the Northern Galaxy—they should be very far away!" Raditz was also shocked by the massive scene: the endless starry sky embedded in the blue sky, the gorgeous colors and brilliance of the stars reflected within, but containing countless demonic invaders.
While being surprised, Kibito's telepathic voice and King Kai's voice sounded almost simultaneously.
"Raditz, this is bad! Those strange metal planets have now gathered near Earth and are connecting together through some kind of energy link!"
"This is bad, this is bad! Many monster planets are appearing on the edge of Earth!"
Before Raditz could speak, the communicator rang.
It was Cooler. Raditz didn't connect—he knew in his heart what everyone was saying. Boundless wasn't wrong; Big Gete Star was going to consume Earth.
In the universe, Big Gete Star and Earth were like dots on the front and back of a piece of paper. To connect two points, you might have to draw a long line, or you could directly pierce the paper. Now, Boundless pierced space itself, drawing the specter of vengeance.
