Zhang Chulan's analysis resonated deeply with the viewers across the multiverse, earning nods of approval for its undeniable logic. Even Akira, the transmigrator, signaled his agreement; Zhang Chulan had hit the nail on the head.
The emergence of Super Saiyan 2 was indeed inextricably linked to the actions of Dr. Gero, though not in the way one might initially expect.
As Akira knew from his tactical knowledge of the timeline, this transformation wasn't a direct response to the current threat. Instead, it was destined to appear much later, triggered when Vegeta's arrogance would lead him to allow Cell to achieve his Perfect Form. Super Saiyan 2 was the ultimate answer to that catastrophic mistake.
From this perspective, the Prince of All Saiyans was inadvertently the catalyst for the next level of power. Furthermore, Vegeta's decision to let Cell evolve would eventually result in a moment of such dramatic irony it could only be described as a world-renowned masterpiece of hubris.
Vegeta, watching the screen from his own corner of the universe, was having none of it. He snarled as he fired off a barrage of bullet comments.
"You're all talking nonsense! How could I possibly lose to two more scrap-metal Androids?" Vegeta's pride radiated through the text. "Just watch! I'll tear those two apart myself!"
Duanmu Yan, the Armor Summoner, countered immediately: "If you're so confident, then tell us—how does Super Saiyan 2 even come about?"
"How should I know?" Vegeta retorted. "Regardless, I'll be the one to finish them!"
Despite his lack of intel on the newcomers' power levels, Vegeta's faith in his on-screen self was unshakable. After all, he had finally unlocked the golden aura of a Super Saiyan; how could mere machines ever hope to stand against the elite bloodline of the Saiyans? He was certain that whatever Super Saiyan 2 was, it wouldn't be necessary for such minor annoyances. These comments left the multiverse viewers in a state of high anticipation.
Would Vegeta back up his words with a decisive victory, or would he be crushed, leaving the path open for a new level of power to save the day?
Inside the video, the narrative shifted. After several desperate maneuvers, Dr. Gero finally retreated to the depths of his hidden laboratory. With a trembling hand, he activated the release pods for two other creations: Android 17 and Android 18.
At first glance, they looked harmless—17 was a handsome young man with jet-black hair, and 18 was a striking blonde woman. However, their unassuming appearances masked a terrifying reality. They possessed infinite energy, boundless stamina, and a rebellious streak that even their creator couldn't tame.
Gero had originally sealed them away in fear, only releasing them now because he and Android 19 had failed to kill Son Goku. To maintain control, Gero clutched a remote emergency stop device, a fail-safe meant to shut them down instantly.
As the two Androids awoke, they played the part of the obedient servants, masking their true intentions with a facade of respect. Outside, Vegeta and the Z Fighters arrived, blasting through the laboratory doors to confront the doctor. Gero barked an order for the twins to attack, but the situation spiraled out of his control in an instant.
While Gero was distracted by the heroes, Android 17 snatched the remote control and crushed it into pieces. Before Gero could even scream, 17 delivered a swift, brutal kick that decapitated the doctor, ending his life instantly. Trunks' grim prophecy had come true: the creator had been purged by his own monsters.
Back in the real world, the current Dr. Gero watched his own death with a grimace. He realized now that a simple remote wasn't enough; his future creations would need to be devoid of human consciousness entirely to ensure absolute loyalty. He pondered whether 17 and 18 were built from scratch or if they were modified humans.
Meanwhile, in a quiet corner of Earth, a brother and sister named Lapis and Lazuli watched the screen in absolute shock. They were looking at their own faces.
"So... that's our future? We become those things?" Lapis asked, his voice low.
The realization hit them like a physical blow. They were ordinary people, and the idea of being turned into cyborgs against their will was horrifying.
They knew they couldn't hide forever—Gero's reach was too long. Their only hope for survival and maintaining their humanity lay in seeking protection from the only people strong enough to stop the doctor.
"We have to find Son Goku and his friends," Lazuli said firmly. "We need to get to West City before Gero finds us."
As they prepared to flee, the viewers continued to react. In West City, Krillin stared at the screen, his heart fluttering strangely at the sight of Android 18. He felt an inexplicable spark of attraction, yet his stomach knotted with dread.
Knowing she was destined to become a bringer of ruin made his budding feelings feel like a cruel joke. While Krillin wrestled with his heart, the rest of the multiverse held its breath, waiting to see if the timeline would truly shatter.
