At this moment, Lin Chenâs heart was filled with numerous doubts. Even he had many questions about what had happened.
For example, Dr. Geroâs betrayal. Dr. Gero, who had been diligently working under him for several years, why would he suddenly rebel?
Was he scheming from the beginning, or did something change later?
To be honest, if it werenât for Trunksâ appearance and his revelation about another world, Lin Chen would find it hard to believe that this seemingly ordinary scientist, an old man, had ambitions to rule the Multiverse.
And what about the two Androids that resembled Raditz and Bardock, who appeared in the research institute? Whatâs going on with them?
Especially the Android who looked like Bardock, Lazuli just said that it was also a human-modified Android, just like her. But both Bardock and Raditz were perfectly fine. How could they be turned into Androids?
The final question was about Dr. Gero. Did he really die just like that?
A highly intelligent and ambitious person, did he really self-destruct?
It was all too strangeâŠ
After thinking for a long time, Lin Chen couldnât come up with a reasonable explanation. He could only shake his head and then return to the research institute.
Shortly after, on Planet Vegeta, Lin Chen, who had returned, gathered everyone together again and explained the recent events involving Dr. Gero.
âWhat? How could this happen?â Tights was stunned. She had even had interactions with Dr. Gero before when she was writing her novels.
In her view, he was just an ordinary old man, albeit obsessed with his research. How could he even think of betraying them?
King Vegeta looked wary. âYour Majesty, if Dr. Gero has betrayed us, then those Androids he was researching are no longer trustworthy! I suggest we immediately destroy all the Androids to prevent any future trouble!â
Paragus quickly retorted, âThat wonât do. Your Majesty, there are already tens of thousands of Androids on Planet Vegeta, including the Metal Saibamen. Destroying all the Androids will have implications for every aspect of our lives!â
Lin Chen pondered for a moment and also felt that completely abandoning the use of Androids would be a waste. He asked Tights to return to Earth and bring Bulma and Dr. Brief, hoping that they could conduct a thorough inspection of Dr. Geroâs designed Androids and check for any backdoor programs.
However, until everything was confirmed to be safe, all the Androids needed to be temporarily disabled.
Besides ensuring that the Androids are safe, there was another matter that puzzled Lin Chenâthe identities of the two Androids who appeared in the research institute during the incident.
âYour Majesty, according to Professor Fidat, Dr. Geroâs chief assistant, these two Androids are not created by Dr. Gero,â Paragus reported.
âProfessor Fidat?â
Shortly after, an alien walked in. Lin Chen recognized him; he seemed to be one of Dr. Geroâs former assistants.
The alien bowed and spoke directly, âYour Majesty Lin Chen, we have conducted a preliminary examination of the Android corpses you retrieved. It is confirmed that the Androids were indeed modified from Saiyans.â
âWhat?â
âThat bastard Dr. Gero! How dare he use Saiyans for his experiments!â
Upon hearing this, the Saiyans, led by King Vegeta, were instantly furious.
But before they could explode in anger, Professor Fidatâs next words left everyone stunned.
âYour Majesty, based on our comparisons, we have also discovered something. The genetic sample of the Android you retrieved seems to bear a striking resemblance to Mr. Bardock⊠We suspect that his original identity is either Mr. Bardock himself or a direct relative of him.â
âWhat? Thatâs impossible!â Bardock immediately shook his head.
He was perfectly fine now. How could he have been turned into an Android?
âBardock, could it be Kakarot?â King Vegeta asked.
âThatâs also impossible! Gine recently visited Earth, so it canât be him!â
âThen who could it be? Do you have another illegitimate child?â
âYouâre the one with an illegitimate child!â
While Bardock and King Vegeta argued, Paragus interjected, âYour Majesty, could these two Androids be from that future world of the young man?â
âFrom the future?â
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes.
Paragus said, âYour Majesty, letâs not dwell on the identity of those two Androids for now. We have been monitoring every move of Dr. Gero, and itâs impossible for him to create Androids that we are not aware of. Hence, the most logical explanation is that these two individuals are from the future world.â
âYou mentioned before that, according to the young man from the future, in his world, after the fall of Planet Vegeta, many Saiyans were transformed into Androids by the Dr. Gero of that world. Could it be possible that these two Androids are from that world?â
Lin Chen nodded, âThatâs a possibility. But how did they come here? Does Dr. Gero also possess a time machine?â
No one had an answer to that question.
After all, Dr. Gero was already dead, and the truth of the matter remains unknown to anyone.
Perhaps Trunks from the future would know, but he was currently in his own world and couldnât provide answers to Lin Chen and otherâs questions.
So, in the end, they could only temporarily set aside this matter.
However, little did they know that as they were discussing, the supposedly deceased Dr. Gero was actually sitting on a spaceship.
And beside Dr. Gero was another Dr. Gero.
âAre you sure Lin Chen wonât discover anything?â the real Dr. Gero asked anxiously.
The other him smiled and replied, âDonât worry. He witnessed âmeâ self-destruct before his own eyes. The entire spaceship was obliterated, leaving no evidence behind. No one will know that the one who died at that time was actually your Android clone.â
The real Dr. Gero looked at the other him, sweat forming on his forehead. âSo terrifying. The me from another world already possesses such technological prowess?â
âYouâll soon have it too.â
Just as the words fell, a beeping sound suddenly came from the control panel behind the two.
The other Dr. Gero turned around, glanced at the screen, and then smiled.
âWeâre almost there. My speculation was correct. This thing exists in this world tooâŠâ
At this time, on the screen in front of them, a cold, white planet slowly emerged from the chaotic asteroid belt.
And this planet was none other than the white planet that Cooler had managed to escape toâthe Big Gete Star!
