Chapter 153: Chapter 22: Second Encounter
As Vegeta finished speaking, John Doe turned his head to look back at Android 16, who immediately attacked him.
Android 16 lunged forward and punched John Doe, who had just turned his head.
The powerful attack sent John Doe flying, and he shouted in anger, "Android 16, you're so despicable, even resorting to a sneak attack."
In mid-air, John Doe flipped over, stabilised his body, and landed on the ground before charging towards Android 16.
The two immediately engaged in combat in the air. Although Android 16 initially had the upper hand due to the sneak attack, John Doe quickly regained his composure and soon dominated the fight, pressing Android 16.
Everyone witnessed a bizarre scene as the relatively short and slender John Doe overwhelmed the tall and robust Android 16.
John Doe kicked Android 16 away once more, but as he was about to pursue and attack him, Android 16 suddenly raised his hand, and the tightly clenched fist detached from his arm, flying towards John Doe.
John Doe, being aware of Android 16's attack method, swiftly dodged the incoming fist after seeing it detach.
However, Android 16's assault was not over. The cannon on his arm began charging, and he shouted, "Hell's Flash!"
A massive energy blast was fired from Android 16's cannon, heading towards John Doe.
John Doe did not dodge or evade the massive energy blast. Instead, he let out a loud shout, and his right hand became like a blade, with a golden aura forming a golden energy blade.
John Doe prepared to intercept Android 16's Hell's Flash. As the flash was about to hit him, he slashed down with his hand blade.
The powerful and sharp energy blade split the Hell's Flash in half, causing the powerful flash to disperse on both sides of John Doe's body and eventually hit the mountain behind him, resulting in two loud explosions.
Everyone present, except John Doe, was stunned by his performance.
Vegeta said, "Is this the limit of a Super Saiyan? If John Doe can do it, it means Kakarot can too. Damn it, I must train harder to reach this level as soon as possible."
Krillin smiled bitterly at Tien Shinhan and said, "Tien Shinhan, seeing John Doe's strength, I'm now wondering if I should continue on the path of a martial artist. No matter how much I train, I'll never be a match for John Doe or Goku."
Tien Shinhan remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Although I'm reluctant to admit it, John Doe and Goku's strength far surpasses ours. Even so, I will continue to train, as an Earthling."
"Not only that, I plan to establish a martial arts tournament venue to impart martial arts knowledge and skills to those who love the art. Martial arts is not just about competing with others; it's about the spirit of never giving up, and this spirit must be passed on."
Upon hearing Tien Shinhan's words, Krillin's eyes lit up as he recalled the hardships he endured to learn martial arts, eventually becoming Master Roshi's disciple and diligently honing his skills.
Krillin said, "Tien Shinhan, after hearing you say that, I also plan to set up a martial arts tournament venue to teach the martial arts knowledge I've acquired. This way, when Earthlings face those aliens, they'll at least have the power to resist."
At that moment, Piccolo spoke up, "Android 16 has lost!"
Krillin and Tien Shinhan ended their conversation and turned their attention to the battling pair. John Doe was completely dominating Android 16, eventually knocking him to the ground.
Just as everyone thought John Doe would kill Android 16, he stopped his actions and even reverted to his normal state from Super Saiyan.
Android 16 looked at John Doe and asked, "Why don't you kill me? You've clearly defeated me."
John Doe replied, "Because you don't have murderous intent. Although you said you'd carry out Dr. Gero's orders to kill me and Goku, none of your moves had killing intent. You're conflicted inside. On one hand, you don't want to kill me, but on the other hand, killing me is part of your programmed instructions."
"Now you don't need to be conflicted anymore. Since you can't beat me, you don't have to follow the orders in your brain anymore. Go live your own life."
Android 16 glanced at John Doe, then slowly stood up and walked over to Android 17 and Android 18.
John Doe approached Android 17 and Android 18 and said, "You just witnessed my fight with Android 16. I can tell you that Son Goku's strength is no less than mine. Do you still want to kill Son Goku?"
Android 17 looked at John Doe and said, "Just wait and see. We'll continue to train, and when our strength surpasses yours, we'll come back for you."
After saying this, Android 17 turned to Android 18 and Android 16 and said, "Android 18, Android 16, let's go."
As Android 18 was about to follow Android 17, John Doe called out to her sincerely, "Android 18, you should have a bomb in your body, right? The one Dr. Gero installed. We can ask Shenron to help remove the bomb from your bodies."
Hearing John Doe suddenly say this to her, Android 18 was taken aback. She replied, "Are you crazy? What does it matter to you if we have a bomb in our bodies? Dr. Gero is already dead, so we're not afraid."
After saying this, Android 18 turned to her younger brother, who was watching the spectacle, and said, "Let's go. What are we still doing here?"
"Hey, Android 18, where can I find you later?" John Doe immediately shouted after them as he saw them leaving.
"You're crazy! Don't think you can hit me just because you're strong!" Android 18 shouted back.
After saying this, she flew away first.
Android 17, on the other hand, looked at John Doe with a hint of amusement and said, "I suddenly find you quite cute. I can consider you as my brother-in-law."
"Android 17, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and catch up," Android 18 retorted, annoyed by Android 17's words.
"Okay, I won't say anything more. I'm coming," Android 17 quickly replied and followed after her.
Future Trunks, upon seeing Android 17 and Android 18 leaving, immediately flew up to block their path.
Android 17 was afraid of John Doe, but that didn't mean he feared Future Trunks. He narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous gaze, and asked, "What? John Doe is willing to let us go, but you still want to stop us?"
John Doe immediately responded, "Trunks, the Android 17 and Android 18 in our world are different from the ones in your world. Since you've come to our world, the future has already changed."
