Earth, a secret base of the Red Ribbon Army.
Android 16 looked worriedly at Android 21, who was voraciously devouring her food.
"21, your recent eating frequency has been increasing."
Android 21 paused, then she turned to glare at Android 16, her bloodshot eyes full of killing intent.
"Shut up, 16! Have the new clones been prepared? Clones are just clones; I am not full yet!"
"21... Fine, I'll go check."
Android 16 shook his head and turned to leave the room. However, before he left, he glanced once more back at Android 21.
Through the special energy detection device in his eyes, Android 16 noticed that there were two conflicting energy sources within Android 21's body at the moment.
He knew what that meant.
The problem lay in the cells of Majin Buu that Android 21 had absorbed.
The cells of that demon were somehow abnormally active.
While these cells granted Android 21 almost god-like recovery abilities surpassing Cell's, they also provided Android 21 with the ability to enhance herself through hunting.
But beneath all these advantages hides a startling side effect!
The cells contain an astonishing hidden appetite for hunting.
Although it wasn't initially apparent, as Android 21 continued to feed on the clones intended to enhance her power during these days of hiding, Android 21's appetite for consumption gradually grew stronger and stronger.
Now, her feeding wasn't just about increasing her energy; it was more about satisfying her hunger.
This impulse had intensified to the point where it was forming its own personality within Android 21.
Android 16 worried that if Android 21 continued like this, she would completely lose her self and become a monster consumed by her appetite.
"Android 21... You must regain control..."
Boom!
Just as Android 16 was walking towards the clone incubation chamber, a loud rumbling suddenly echoed from the research facility.
Android 16 looked up, and seeing the space around him shaking, his eyes froze.
"Oh no, it's Android 21!"
When Android 16 returned to Android 21's room, he found it empty, and there was a large hole leading directly outside.
He quickly followed, and his scouter soon detected Android 21's presence.
What alarmed him was that Android 21 was flying towards a nearby city.
"Damn it! Android 21! Have you finally lost control?"
Android 16 sped up l, trying to catch up to Android 21, but he was too late. When he arrived, he saw Android 21 turning the entire city's population into candy.
"Android 21!"
"Ah, 16, you've finally arrived?" Android 21 greeted him with a smile, gesturing to the candies.
Then, the candies quickly gathered and flew into Android 21's mouth.
"Mmm... real people are so tasty... clones... they have too much of that growth hormone's taste..."
As 21 chewed on the candies, she expressed satisfaction. However, her expression sent shivers down 16's spine.
Android 21's absorption ability is different from Cell's; in order to enhance her energy through devouring, the person must have a Power Level above a certain threshold.
However, the people in that city below were all ordinary humans. Even if Android 21 were to consume the entire city, her power would not increase at all.
Yet, she still went ahead and did it.
All for the sake of satisfying her insatiable appetite.
This version of 21 was nothing like the one he remembered.
"Android 21... Have you perhaps..."
"What's wrong?"
21 had finally finished her candy, but her face still held a look of dissatisfaction.
"16, it seems there are still many people over there, and I'm still a little hungry. Let's go there!" 21 said with a look of longing, her expression resembling that of a gluttonous child.
However, Android 16's heart was already in a state of turmoil.
Finally, he clenched his fists and said, "21! Please come back with me immediately! Otherwise, I'll use force to stop you!"
"Huh? 16, do you even know what you're saying?"
"Android 21! Haven't you realized that you've completely lost rationality due to Majin Buu's cells? What use were those humans to you? Why did you eat them?" Android 16's face was filled with anger.
"Of course, it's because they were delicious!" Android 21 replied nonchalantly. "16, I've discovered that even though these humans have no energy, they have diverse flavors. They taste much better than those clones!"
"Android 21!"
Android 16 detached his right arm, revealing the cannon on his arm.
"I am begging you one last time, please come back with me!"
"16? Are you really going to attack me? Me, 21?"
"Yes! I won't let you become a monster like Cell!" Android 16's gaze was resolute.
In the next moment, his cannon emitted a bright light.
Boom!
...
When all the living beings of a city disappeared, many of the planet's strong beings sensed the anomaly. Then, as the vibrations in the air became apparent, those who had been searching for Android 21's whereabouts understood that a battle was taking place.
Therefore, everyone who had been searching for Android 21's whereabouts rushed toward the site of the battle.
Meanwhile, on Lin Chen's side, he was enjoying some quality family time.
A decade had passed, and his two sons had grown up. Lin Chen hadn't expected them to grow so rapidly.
However, he heard that these two kids, especially Taro, have been a bit unruly, always causing trouble.
"Lin Luo, Taro, I heard you two have been quite active while I was away, huh? Your Power Level has gotten quite good, so it seems I can train you directly in the days to come."
"Dad, don't underestimate us! Now, even Aunt Lazuli at home isn't our match. Only Goten and Trunks' dads can spar with us," Taro proudly declared.
Lin Chen snorted, "Then go ahead and try. Show me your full power and let me see your progress."
"Okay!"
Taro was the first to respond. He gathered his energy and transformed into Legendary Super Saiyan.
His aura rapidly soared like a rocket, quickly exceeding 400 million.
His Power Level has reached 400 million in just a few years? Lin Chen's eyes revealed a hint of astonishment.
Next, Lin Luo also began to transform.
However, his transformation was even more exaggerated than Taro's, instantly transforming into Super Saiyan 2. Although Lin Luo's normal state Power Level was weaker than Taro's, his final Power Level also surpassed 400 million.
