Dragon Ball: My power level has been maxed out

I can't even beat him, how can I absorb him?

"What are you doing?" Android 17 frowned, staring at Cell with a cold expression, his gaze like two knives.

"Number 17!" Cell introduced himself with a smile, lowering his fist and spreading his hands in front of him. "I believe you have already seen it. I am also an android created by Dr. Gero. My name is Cell."

"Of course I saw it," Number 17 said coldly. "But what do you mean by ambushing me?"

"I was just joking with you." Cell laughed awkwardly, rubbing his hands together. "Do you believe me?"

"Do I look like an idiot to you?" Number 17 narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness in his gaze.

"How about this, you punch me too, and we'll be even?" Cell suggested, tilting his head.

"Hmph, that's a good idea." Number 17 nodded in satisfaction. "I think it's a good idea!"

"boom!"

Without hesitation, Android 17 swung his right fist and smashed it into Cell's face.

Cell's fist sank into his cheek, his head twisted and deformed, his neck tilted to one side at an incredible angle.

Cell's body flew backward like a cannonball, tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and crashed straight into the ground.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, Cell left a bottomless crater in the ground below.

Gravel flew everywhere, dust billowed up, and the pit was dark and bottomless.

“Dr. Gero is right about one thing.” Android 17 retracted his fist and smiled smugly. “I am the strongest android.”

"Oh no, did I forget to activate Unit 16?" Unit 18 blinked, glanced at the deep pit below, and helplessly spread its hands.

"You could say that big guy was just unlucky." Number 17 shook his head, not having much to say about it.

"Is he dead?" Number 18 asked Number 17 about Cell's condition.

"Not so easy to die." Android 17 said calmly to Cell in the crater with a smile on his face. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly. "Did you hear me? If you're not dead, get out of here right now!"

"Yes!" Cell's voice came from the bottom of the pit, muffled and with a hint of obedience.

Immediately afterwards, Cell obediently flew out of the crater and appeared behind Android 17, hovering there with his hands hanging at his sides.

"You're very obedient! You deserve praise!" Android 17 was very satisfied with Cell's attitude and turned his head to look at him.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Cell replied respectfully, bowing slightly with a faint smile on his lips.

Just keep pretending!

Later, I'll find a chance to absorb some of the essence of human life. Once my energy surpasses yours, I'll see how I deal with you.

Cell has already made his plans.

Let's follow these two androids for now.

While they are asleep, I will go and absorb the life essence of humans.

Play it safe and develop your strength stealthily!

"Cell, what did Dr. Gro use to create you?" Android 17 asked with a smile, tilting her head. "A bug, perhaps?"

Cell's face darkened, and his lips twitched.

However, he still answered honestly, "I was created out of thin air."

"Created out of thin air?" Number 18 looked puzzled, his golden eyebrows furrowing slightly. "Why would a monster be created out of thin air? And why does it look so disgusting?"

“Dr. Gro is dead.” Cell shook his head helplessly and gave a dry laugh. “You can ask him if you want. I don’t want to become a monster either.”

"Alright, let's go." Android 17 smiled at Cell. "From now on, as long as you behave well, I can take you in."

Chapter 119 Cell: He is Zoro

"Thank you!" Cell's voice carried just the right amount of deference.

On the 17th, he stopped visiting Zoro, Goku, and the others.

He turned his head, his gaze falling on the distant gray-white horizon, and then flew straight away with Android 18 and Cell.

Three figures streaked through the air at a moderate pace, as if taking a stroll.

As Cell flew away, he tilted his head slightly, his peripheral vision glancing at the crowd of people on the ruins behind him.

His gaze lingered on Zoro's face for a moment, then swept over Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta...

Then it was quickly taken back.

I only glanced at it.

Cell knew very well that with his current strength, he was likely no match for Goku and the others.

It's best not to reveal your true abilities prematurely.

If we're exposed, I might be the first one to die.

His tail twitched slightly behind him before returning to stillness.

Seeing Number 17 and the others swagger away, Solo remained calm, hands in his pockets, a faint smile playing on his lips.

However, Sun Wukong and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, their gazes lingering on the direction where the three figures had disappeared for several seconds, unable to figure out their opponent's tactics.

"Why did you leave?" Sun Wukong scratched his head, his brows furrowing slightly.

"What are they doing?" Klin asked curiously. "Are they going to destroy the city?"

“That won’t do!” Sun Wukong shook his head decisively, clenching his fists in front of him.

“They’re definitely up to no good!” Piccolo said, frowning, his green fingers crossed in front of him. “Those two androids from before, to be precise, Android 19 and Dr. Gro, they destroyed a city over there!”

"So we absolutely cannot let them run rampant in the city!" Le Ping clenched his fists tightly, his eyes following the three figures that were getting smaller and smaller.

Solo remained silent, his gaze calmly fixed on the three departing figures.

It would be incredibly easy for Solo to wipe out these three androids right now.

Even if Cell were in his complete form, Zoro could easily beat him to a pulp with a single finger.

"I'm so angry!" Vegeta stood there, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and his aura suddenly surged across his body. "Are they ignoring my existence?"

"call out!"

Without further hesitation, Vegeta pushed off the ground with both feet, launching himself into the air and transforming into a dazzling streak of light as he swiftly chased after Android 17 and the others.

Androids 17, 18, and Cell moved slowly through the air at a moderate pace.

The wind swept past them, ruffling their clothes and hair.

"Ahem..." Cell cleared his throat, leaned closer with a fawning expression, and curled his lips into a flattering smile. "Speaking of Number 17..."

"What is it?" Number 17 replied indifferently, without turning his head.

"Where are we headed?" Cell asked, glancing at Android 17's profile.

"Since we are androids," Android 17 smiled slightly, glancing at Cell, "then we should enjoy life to the fullest, don't you think?"

"Enjoy life?" Cell's smile froze for a moment, and he was stunned, his face showing astonishment.

"What? Do you have a problem with that?" Number 17 frowned, his voice turning cold.

"I...I have no objection, of course I have no objection!" Cell waved his hands frantically, waving them in front of him, and gave an awkward laugh. "After all, we basically have eternal life! We should really enjoy life!"

"Number 18, what about you?" Number 17 asked Number 18.

“I agree.” Number 18 nodded slightly, answering readily, seemingly quite satisfied with Number 17’s suggestion.

“But speaking of which…” Cell’s lips twitched slightly as he spoke again, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Android 17 and 18, “Dr. Gero’s main purpose in creating us was to kill Goku, wasn’t it? Should we…”

“We’ve already betrayed Dr. Gero.” Android 17 rolled his eyes at Cell, a slight smirk playing on his lips. “Why kill an insignificant Goku?”

“You’re right!” Cell nodded, his Adam’s apple bobbing, and still said stubbornly, “Goku should be the strongest, right? Android 17, you’re the most powerful android ever created by Dr. Gero, don’t you want to have a good fight with him?”

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Number 17's face turned cold, and his gaze swept over like a cold light.

“No… I was just making a simple suggestion!” Cell quickly replied, crossing his arms in front of him. “If you don’t agree, I have no objection.”

After he finished speaking, Cell's eyes lit up.

His gaze pierced through the air ahead, locking onto the rapidly approaching point of light in the distance.

"Looks like we didn't want to cause them any trouble, but they came looking for us!" Cell pointed at Vegeta, who was flying over, a hint of schadenfreude in his smile.

Android 17 also silently looked in Vegeta's direction, his body stopped in mid-air, his arms crossed over his chest.

"Snapped!"

Vegeta swiftly appeared high above where Android 17 and the other two androids were, his aura flickering twice on his body before slowly receding.

He crossed his arms, raised his chin high, looked down at them, and snorted coldly: "I didn't expect you guys to still be dawdling here!"

"Are you Vegeta?" Android 17 asked with a smile.

“Of course.” Vegeta nodded.

"What are you planning to do?" Number 17 asked again.

"Just wandering around," Number 17 told the truth.

"No need to wander around," Vegeta sneered. "You'll all be killed by me soon!"

Androids 17 and 18 exchanged a knowing smile, a hint of amusement in their eyes, and their gazes swept over Vegeta twice.

"What's so funny?" Vegeta frowned.

"Saiyans are really too confident!" Android 17 scoffed, spreading his arms at his sides. "Why didn't Goku chase after us?"

"Hmph, I've never liked working with them!" Vegeta said confidently, raising his chin even higher. "I can handle you guys all by myself!"

"Cell, let's see your strength." Android 18 turned her head and ordered Cell, "Take care of Vegeta, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Cell's lips twitched, his body stiffened slightly, and he was extremely unwilling.

After all, Cell has just been accelerated to maturity through a special drug and knows that his strength is too weak.

Going to fight Vegeta would only be asking for trouble.

His fingers twitched slightly at his side, then relaxed.
