Androids are a rather peculiar type of being.
There are purely mechanical androids, androids like Android 17 and 18 who were modified from humans, and then there are purely biological beings like Cell, who were cultivated.
Because Android 18 and her brother had undergone the modification process, the Ki that martial artists usually utilize was rendered useless. Neither Son Gohan nor Ling An could sense the Ki of these two androids, and their own usage of Ki was far inferior to Son Goku's.
Son Goku could locate the Ki of ordinary people to use Instant Transmission. The Ki of ordinary people is around three to five. To sense such a small amount of Ki is almost unimaginable, and only a monster like Son Goku, who had been trained by various martial artists since childhood, could do it.
But even Son Goku, in this situation, was helpless against androids whose Ki he couldn't sense. After all, without the presence of Ki, they were like cars or buildings in their eyes. That's probably how they viewed the androids.
Unless the androids made a big commotion, it would be difficult to find them. But these past few days, the androids didn't seem interested in destroying cities and had been quite quiet.
The search, while not physically taxing, was mentally draining, especially the frustration of not being able to find them.
The most stable of the three was Son Gohan. No matter what, he could search calmly, never showing any impatience.
From this, it was clear Son Gohan's state of mind had reached a very high level, something the Trunks from the original story hadn't even mastered years later.
The three of them searched around, but it wasn't until the Androids attacked again that they finally discovered their location. After sensing the continuous disappearance of weak Ki in the distance, the three of them didn't hesitate and immediately flew towards that location!
At full speed, it only took a short while to reach the edge of the destroyed city. Watching the flames erupt from within the city, all three of their faces turned grim.
"Trunks, Ling An, let's go!"
"Yes!"
BOOM!
BANG BANG BANG!
The streets were no longer bustling as they once were. Humans, animals, and various buildings lay on the ground. Many people and vehicles were frantically fleeing. The culprits responsible for all this were two young, beautiful, and handsome androids.
The boy was handsome, and the girl was beautiful, but their hearts were not as pleasant as their appearances suggested. On the contrary, they could be said to be a new evil the Earthlings encountered after King Piccolo.
Moreover, the destruction and terror caused by these two young people far surpassed that of King Piccolo. Whether they were martial artists or the resistance army, they were utterly useless against these two. With a mere flick of their fingers, they could unleash a power that could destroy anything.
These were two extremely evil and terrifying beings!
To remind people to flee quickly, the reporters reported fearlessly, but soon, one after another, reporters also died under the attacks of these two androids.
Android 18 had one hand in her pocket, and with the other, she lightly pointed. The crowd in front of her instantly exploded. Watching this scene, her face was filled with boredom: "These humans are really ungrateful. I just wanted to get a few more pretty clothes, and they actually dared to refuse. I didn't plan to destroy this city, after all, there are so many beautiful clothes. Now it's all gone."
"Eighteen, quickly finish them all off, and then head to another city. There's no need to stay in this city anymore." Looking at the surrounding ruins and the unpleasant smell produced by the burning, Android 17 frowned and said indifferently.
"Hehe, since you said so, Seventeen, then I'll send you all on your way!"
Saying this, Android 18 and Android 17 shot up into the sky. Immediately, a ball of light formed in her hand. The next second, she threw the energy ball towards the city.
The two Androids watched the energy ball fly towards the city with their arms crossed. They loved watching scenes of cities being directly destroyed. They were also controlling their power to prevent the entire city from being completely ruined. This wasn't because they had a conscience; it was purely because they wanted to preserve their creations.
Yes, in their eyes, the destroyed city was their masterpiece, a perfect work of art. They also enjoyed the process of its creation.
Just as they watched the energy ball about to hit the city, suddenly, an orange-clad figure appeared in front of the energy ball. The next moment, the energy ball was pushed back by that orange figure, directly towards them.
Seeing this, the Androids' expressions changed. They quickly dodged the energy ball that was pushed back.
"Son Gohan!"
When they saw the orange figure clearly, both Androids showed surprised expressions. They hadn't expected Son Gohan, whom they had killed, to appear here alive. However, although they were surprised, they didn't care.
After all, if they could kill Son Gohan once, they could kill him a second time.
"Son Gohan, I didn't expect it to be you. Seems like you got lucky last time. But since you survived, why not just live a peaceful life? Why come here to die again?" Android 17 flew in front of Son Gohan, his eyelids slightly drooped, and he spoke with a flippant tone.
"Androids, with your power, you want to kill me? You're still far from it. This time, I will definitely stop you! I will destroy you!"
Looking at the Androids in front of him, Son Gohan's face showed an angry expression. He would never forget that these Androids killed Piccolo and Krillin, nor would he forget the various evils the Androids had committed against humanity. Of course, he would not forget that he was nearly killed by the Androids before.
"Hahaha... Son Gohan, you're really talking big. You were almost killed by us last time. You probably haven't recovered in over a month, right? You couldn't fight us before, so what makes you think you can say such things now?" Android 17 laughed wildly, "I think you're just eager to die. Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish. After you're dead, I'll destroy this city!"
As the saying goes, enemies meeting are especially jealous. Without further ado, the two immediately clashed. Their speed was extremely fast, and the power they unleashed during the battle echoed through the sky.
Android 18 watched from the side, not intending to help. For them, unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn't interfere in the other's fight. And it seemed that Android 17 could handle Son Gohan.
Yes, in the eyes of the two Androids, Son Gohan could be easily dealt with. They thought this way naturally because Son Gohan intentionally showed weakness. Combat isn't always about charging head-on; sometimes, strategy is needed. Even though Son Gohan's current strength far surpassed the Androids, he couldn't kill them with a single blow, so he needed to carefully consider how to fight.
Son Gohan's battle with Android 17 was very intense from the start. Android 17 didn't seem to want to play around but rather wanted a quick victory. Therefore, all sorts of techniques and energy were unleashed. If it were an ordinary person, they would run out of energy in no time. But for the Androids with infinite energy, as long as they didn't exceed their own limits, they could freely expend their energy.
Facing Android 17's attacks, Son Gohan dodged them time and again, each time barely escaping. Unlike Android 17, Son Gohan seemed to be holding back, not unleashing his full power. He likely did this both to appear weak and to conserve his energy.
Their battle began in the city and moved constantly, eventually reaching the sky. The clouds were scattered by their blows, and then they returned to the city. Buildings crumbled under the impact of their power, and energy blasts left deep craters in the ground.
"Seventeen, what are you doing? Why is it taking so long to deal with an injured Son Gohan? Hurry up and finish him off! I was planning to go to the next city to buy some new clothes," Android 18 suddenly called out.
"Hmph, you don't need to interfere with my business. This is my battle rhythm!" Android 17 coldly retorted. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Son Gohan landed a hard punch on Android 17's face!
Android 17's entire body was sent flying backward, but he quickly stabilized himself. He reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his narrow eyes fixed on Son Gohan, a cold glint in them. "Son Gohan, you've completely angered me. I've decided to eliminate you completely, right now!"
"Heh, if you have the ability, why bother talking about it? Just come at me," Son Gohan responded with a cold laugh, sensing the surging power within him.
"Damn you, Son Gohan, you're asking for it!"
Faced with Son Gohan's scorn and provocation, Android 17 was utterly enraged. He roared and charged at Son Gohan with incredible speed. The two clashed again, and the battle was once again a chaotic mess.
Son Gohan's power was less than Android 17's, but only by a little. This prevented Android 17 from effectively harming him. Faced with this situation, the android was even more annoyed. Although he was sure to win in the end, since he had infinite energy and could simply wear Son Gohan down, he couldn't accept having to resort to this method.
Meanwhile, Android 18 was growing impatient. Judging by the time, Android 17's fight with Son Gohan had already lasted several dozen minutes. She didn't want to wait any longer, or it would be dark by the time they reached the next city. So she prepared to join Android 17 and finish off Son Gohan.
Just as she was about to act, a burst of power erupted from behind her, causing her to stumble back a few steps. Turning her head, she saw Trunks looking nervous. A spark of anger ignited on Android 18's beautiful face. "You brat, you ruined my new clothes, you're dead!"
