Dragon Ball: My power level has been maxed out

“You have too many questions,” Cell said, crouching slightly, his hands clasped at his waist, palms facing each other. “Let me show you another skill!”

He assumed the stance for the Kamehameha wave, and energy began to gather between his palms, with the blue light growing brighter and brighter in his palms.

“This…this is…” Piccolo’s pupils contracted slightly as his gaze fell on the hands that were glowing with blue light.

"Kamehameha!"

Cell thrust both hands forward with a sudden burst of energy, sending a powerful energy wave hurtling toward Piccolo at incredible speed.

A bright blue beam of light sliced ​​through the air with a sharp whistling sound, sending rubble flying from the ground.

"It's true!" Piccolo's expression changed repeatedly. He pushed off the ground with both feet and immediately took off into the air, dodging the Kamehameha wave.

The beam of light swept past his feet and shot into the distance.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the entire Star City turned into a giant mushroom cloud.

Flames rose from the center of the ruins, and shockwaves spread wildly in all directions, hurling broken steel bars and concrete blocks into the air, and even collapsing several distant buildings.

Bick hovered high in the sky, his green cape fluttering in the air currents.

He looked down at the surging flames and smoke below, a slight look of surprise on his face. His gaze lingered on the charred ruins for several seconds.

"Shh!"

Just then, Cell suddenly appeared behind Piccolo, his arms and legs snapping shut, coiling tightly around Piccolo's body like a snake.

"Oh no!" Piccolo exclaimed in alarm. His body was locked in place, and he struggled twice but could not break free.

"Die, King Piccolo!" Cell's tail lashed out at Piccolo's back, its tip glowing with a blue light.

At the critical moment, Piccolo quickly turned to the side, twisting his body within Cell's restraints to dodge the fatal blow.

"Pfft!"

Cell's tail tip pierced Piccolo's arm, penetrating his green skin and sinking deep into his muscle.

"what……"

Bick let out a painful scream, his face contorted, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

A cold suction force came from the tip of his tail, and his arm began to wither rapidly, his skin wrinkled, and his muscles collapsed.

"It's stuck in my arm." Cell chuckled, his body still tightly wrapped around Piccolo. "My arm too, give me your life essence!"

With that, Cell increased the suction force on his tail and began absorbing Piccolo's life essence.

Bick's arm withered at a visible rate, his skin shrunken and wrinkled like tree bark that had been drained of moisture.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Piccolo's screams were even more heart-wrenching, his green face filled with pain, and his other hand futilely grabbed Cell's arm that was wrapped around his body, but he couldn't pry it off no matter what he did.

"Shh!"

At the critical moment, Sun Wukong suddenly used Instant Teleportation to appear on the scene, his eyes quickly scanning the scene before him.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong did not hesitate at all.

His body sprang into the air, his hands crossed and clenched into fists, delivering a heavy blow to Cell's head.

The fist slammed into Cell's head, the force as heavy as a mountain.

Cell, in pain, jolted and released Piccolo.

He shook his head twice, rubbed the spot where he had been hit, and a strong killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Goku quickly grabbed Piccolo, put his arm around Piccolo's shoulder, and pulled him backward, putting some distance between them and Cell.

"Sun Wukong! How did you suddenly appear?" Cell looked at Sun Wukong with a smile, his eyes filled with surprise and amusement, his tail tip swaying gently behind him.

“Piccolo, you…” Goku turned to look at Piccolo, his gaze falling on Piccolo’s arm, which had been drained dry.

Bick's arm was shrunken and blackened, like a withered twig hanging from his shoulder.

"Huhuhu..."

Bick was panting heavily, his face was pale, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body was trembling slightly.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph." Cell stood a few steps away, arms crossed, a smug smile on his lips. "Even if you survive, one of your arms will be crippled. Although we have Goku, I don't think I'll necessarily lose to him!"

"What exactly is going on?" Goku asked hurriedly, his gaze shifting back and forth between Cell and Piccolo.

"Don't speak yet!" Piccolo ordered Goku, his voice hoarse and urgent.

Sun Wukong opened his mouth, then closed it again, saying nothing more.

“You’re right. Although Goku can transform into a Super Saiyan, judging from our fight just now, your strength has already surpassed Goku’s.” Piccolo nodded in acknowledgment, his voice low, his gaze fixed on Cell. “And you absorbed one of my arms, so you definitely won! I concede!”

"Hahaha!" Cell laughed heartily, his laughter echoing across the empty ruins. He put his hands on his hips. "You finally gave up! Great! After absorbing you and Goku, my body will soon be close to perfection!"

"This..." Sun Wukong wanted to say something, but his mouth was glared at by Piccolo and he was silenced.

"Before you absorb us, please tell us why you have Goku and Frieza's ki on you? And why do you use the Kamehameha?" Piccolo asked through gritted teeth, his voice squeezed out from between his teeth.

"You know my Kamehameha?" Goku was slightly surprised, raising his eyebrows slightly.

However, after he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Bick had told him not to speak, so he immediately covered his mouth, pressed his fingers to his lips, and remained silent.

"Now that you've seen that lab, don't you know how I was created?" Cell sneered, his gaze slowly sweeping over the two men. "Telling you won't hurt. Although Vegeta and the others are flying this way, it will take them a long time to arrive. With your combined strength, you two are no match for me!"

“Speak, at least let us know where you came from, so we can die in peace.” Piccolo’s voice was deep, his green eyes fixed on Cell’s face, as if waiting for an answer.

“Alright, I’ll tell you.” Cell nodded with a smile. “A long time ago, Dr. Gro began collecting your cells and started researching how to synthesize these cells to create androids. Because this work was too time-consuming, Dr. Gro found a rather special growth accelerator. With this growth accelerator, I, who would have taken twenty years to complete, was created ahead of schedule.”

Piccolo nodded slightly, signaling Cell to continue.

Sun Wukong scratched his head thoughtfully, a hint of surprise on his face.

“The cells of Goku, Piccolo, and Vegeta, and even Zoro’s cells, were all collected when Vegeta and the others first arrived on Earth,” Cell explained, his gaze shifting between the two. “However, what puzzles me is that Zoro is clearly very powerful, but his cells have almost no effect on my body. My powerful energy mainly comes from Goku, Vegeta, and Cooler.”

"So... the aura that just erupted from you wasn't Frieza's, but his brother Cooler's, right?" Piccolo understood, his green eyes sharpening.

“Yes, it is indeed Cooler’s cells.” Cell nodded, not denying it, with a slight smile on his lips. “Cooler and his father Cold obtained them when they were on Earth.”

"How did you collect the cells? There was no suspicious person present at the time," Bick asked, frowning.

“I heard that Dr. Gro sent a spy robot to spy on your operations,” Cell said with a smile. “That robot is about the size of a bee, and it collects cells when no one is looking.”

At this point, Cell suddenly pointed to the sky diagonally behind him.

A tiny point of light is flying in from afar, like a bee hovering in the morning light.

“Look closely, that bee is flying this way. It’s going to collect the data here and take it back. Maybe it’s interested in your two cells,” Sharu explained.

"boom!"

With a flick of his wrist, Piccolo unleashed a burst of energy that blasted the bee robot to smithereens.

The fragments exploded in the air, sparking tiny electric sparks, before scattering on the ground.

“The research institute has already exploded. Even if it collected cells, they won’t be of much use!” Cell chuckled, his gaze lingering for a moment on the falling fireball. “Destroying it won’t make much of a difference.”

"So, for the next period of time, you will continuously absorb the life essence of humans and improve your body, right?" Piccolo asked in a deep voice, his green eyes fixed on Cell's face.

Chapter 127 Tell Solo about this!

“Not entirely.” Cell smiled and shook his head, his green tail swaying gently behind him.

"Not entirely?" Bick paused for a moment, his brow furrowing slightly.

“Absorbing the life essence of humans alone cannot perfect my body,” Cell replied, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Piccolo and Goku. “I need two special life forms. The computer tells me that these two special life forms are Android 17 and 18, created by Dr. Gero.”

“You… what did you say?” Piccolo’s pupils contracted slightly, and his green eyes sharpened.

"Then why don't you just absorb them?" Sun Wukong frowned and couldn't help but ask.

"Why do you think that is, Son Goku?" Cell rolled his eyes at Son Goku, his gaze carrying a hint of looking at an idiot.

"I understand now. With your current strength, you're no match for Androids 17 and 18!" Piccolo suddenly realized, his green fingers clenching at his side. "So you're absorbing life essence now to increase your strength. Only after you surpass their strength will you absorb theirs!"

“That’s right, that’s exactly what I mean!” Cell nodded with a smile, the tip of his tail slightly raised.

"What exactly is your purpose? To absorb them, become a complete body, and then what?" Piccolo asked.

"What is the purpose?" Cell sneered, his lips curving downwards. "Dr. Gero and the computer both told me that they wanted me to become the strongest human. In addition, I have Saiyan and Frieza blood flowing through my veins, which is also a reason for me to become stronger."

"Oh, I see." Sun Wukong nodded thoughtfully, a hint of understanding in his expression. "I finally understand."

“I’m sorry to have made you solve all the mysteries.” Piccolo stood a few steps away, a slight smile on his lips. He raised his right hand, grabbed the withered arm, his fingers gripping the shoulder joint, and pulled it down sharply.

"scoff"

Bick ripped off the withered arm, and green fluid splattered from the cut, dripping onto the scorched ground.

"Ahhhh!"

Bick let out screams that echoed across the empty ruins.

Immediately, the cut on Bick's shoulder began to wriggle, and muscles and skin grew at a visible speed.

In the blink of an eye, a new arm extends from the stump, bones forming first, then muscles, and finally skin.

Cell stood a few meters away, staring at the newly grown arm. His pupils contracted sharply, and his face showed utter shock. His green lips parted slightly.

“Now I know your purpose, Cell!” Piccolo sneered, stretching his arm that had just recovered through regeneration, clenching his fist, and feeling the power of rebirth.

"You did this so that I would tell the truth..." Cell's gaze lingered on Piccolo's undamaged arm for several seconds, his lips twitching slightly, and he suddenly felt like he was being made a fool of.

"Piccolo, you're really smart. No wonder you wouldn't let me speak." Goku stood to the side and chuckled.

"I will absolutely not allow your body to be perfected any further!" Bick said through gritted teeth. "Although you have my blood flowing in your veins, you didn't know your arm could regenerate. What a blunder!"

"Shameless!" Cell gritted his teeth in hatred, his voice escaping through clenched teeth.

“Cell, even though you absorbed one of my arms, my overall strength is still superior to yours.” Piccolo assumed a fighting stance, while instructing Goku, “Goku, you don’t need to intervene. Just prevent him from escaping!”

"No problem." Sun Wukong nodded vigorously, his feet slightly apart on the ground, ready to intercept at any moment.

"Snapped!"

The next moment, golden light shone from Sun Wukong's body, his black hair instantly turned golden, and his eyes turned emerald green.

Golden flames erupted from his body, enveloping him like a burning coat, instantly activating his Super Saiyan transformation.
