In the empty research institute where the equipment was still running, Guan Liyuan and Bulma appeared out of thin air. m

"This is... Dr. Gero's android research institute? By the way, can your teleportation bring people with you?" Bulma asked in surprise.

If it was just "teleportation", Bulma had seen Goku use it before, but Goku couldn't teleport with people.

"I don't know if it's an android research institute, but my body tissue was indeed sent here after being collected." Guan Liyuan said.

"Can you feel where it is exactly?" Bulma asked.

"Behind this door." Guan Liyuan said, shooting a beam of light and blasting open an iron door on the inside.

There was a separate room further inside, with a large cylindrical culture chamber in the center. If you look closely, you can see a fist-sized "sarcoma" suspended in the center of the liquid inside, which looks like an underdeveloped fetus.

"What is this? Is this an android?" Bulma asked in surprise.

Although this "mysterious creature" looked very young and threatening, Bulma instinctively felt a chill in her heart after seeing it, and hid behind Guan Liyuan involuntarily.

"I don't know, but it is indeed absorbing my body tissue... Look here to see if there is any information about artificial humans." Guan Liyuan said.

"Then... what should we do with this thing? It won't suddenly come out, right?" Bulma said worriedly.

"Don't worry, you want to absorb my body tissue? It's not that easy!"

Guan Liyuan stretched out his hand towards the columnar culture dish. Although there was thick glass between them, he could see that on the "embryo", a piece of "administrator gray" gradually appeared, just like Guan Liyuan!

Then the gray part gradually expanded, and the embryo began to swing and tremble in a small range, and even emitted an aura that was no weaker than the current Yamcha, gradually shaking the glass into cracks...

In theory, if it was Cell who had already "been born", even in his initial form, he would have digested and absorbed the energy in Guan Liyuan's small piece of body tissue.

However, even if the embryo is eaten as "meat", it will be countered by Guan Liyuan's demon body!

After a short stalemate, the Cell embryo, which has completely turned gray, bounced out of the crack of the petri dish, shot towards Guan Liyuan's palm, and merged into it!

The body tissue of the demon, after being separated from the main body, is also devouring. In the original work, Buu even used this trick to trick Gohan, who was not weaker than himself at the time...

Guan Liyuan cannot fully master this ability now, at least he cannot use his body tissue as a trap as in the original work to "capture" opponents stronger than himself, but... there is no problem in counterattacking a Cell who is still an embryo.

This time, Guan Liyuan did not improve much in energy by fusing a Cell embryo. The greater role was to understand Cell's physiological structure.

"Found it! There is information about androids here... Oh no! What's here is not an android, but another plan of Dr. Gero!" Bulma said.

Sure enough, Dr. Gero, like in the original work, still made an inexplicable mistake and placed the information of the androids in Cell's abandoned research institute...

According to the original work, Cell existed in a time and space where "Frieza was killed by Big Trot", "Goku still died of illness before the appearance of the androids", and then "Big Trot defeated No. 17 and No. 18", and finally "Cell killed Big Trot and traveled back to the past to find No. 17 and No. 18".

According to the "time and space view" of the Dragon Ball world, traveling back to the past represents "resetting the world", because Cell's travel was caused by Big Trot's travel, so at this time, the future Cell has been "reset" in the current main time and space.

Moreover, the time and space where Cell is in the original work is also very interesting. This section is completely under the "world deduction", with only cause and effect, and no other support in the time and space. Big Trot obviously traveled, but still failed to save Goku from illness...

Maybe... Under the world deduction, Goku lost the future special medicine, or killed himself in other ways?

In short, if Cell did not choose to travel through time, this world deduction would be equivalent to reality. However, Cell is the most reckless "person" in the Dragon Ball world. Other protagonists' recklessness will not kill themselves, but Cell directly resets his future of great victory, and then successfully dies in the main time and space, resulting in his great victory only existing in the world deduction.

As for the reason why Cell wants to go back to the past, it is because of Androids 17 and 18...

At the beginning of the design, 17 and 18 represented the missing parts of Cell.

There is an essential difference from the absorption of Majin Buu. Cell's absorption of 17 and 18 is more like giving himself two patches...

Perhaps it is precisely because there is a design connection between Cell and 17 and 18, so in the original work, although Gero abandoned the research institute that made Cell, the design data of 17 and 18 remained here!

"It's not a android? Then what is this?" Although Guan Liyuan knew it was "Cell", he wanted to know Gero's definition of this thing.

"It's Cell, the biological weapon that Gero was researching at the beginning. It not only combines the genes of Goku, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and Muten-sensei... but also includes Vegeta and Frieza who fought on Earth... Samples were collected!

If it succeeds in the end, it will be an extremely terrifying monster, but... Gero found that Cell has a fatal flaw, that is, it cannot replicate the energy source of real life, and as the fusion genes increase, it will become more and more difficult to control." Bulma said.

"Oh? So the android is his replacement?" Guan Liyuan asked.

"No, according to the content of the research log, Dr. Gero was designing a combat machine that can make up for Cell's defects to provide energy, but he found out halfway that the result can be used to manufacture androids. In addition, after discovering that too much gene fusion made Cell's controllability worse and worse, Gero has been planning to focus his research on androids." Bulma said.

"Plan? In other words... this research institute has not been abandoned? Have you found the weaknesses of androids?" Guan Liyuan was a little surprised.

"It has not been abandoned yet. As for the androids... they are still in the design stage. There are only some 'drafts' that imitate Cell's energy absorption system. Gero himself is still designing the infinite energy androids that can completely make up for Cell's shortcomings." Bulma said.

It's too early!

Guan Liyuan immediately realized that Gero had not abandoned the Cell Research Institute at this time, which means... the other party may have known that he was looking for him!

Moreover, No. 17 and No. 18 are still in the theoretical stage, so naturally there will be no weaknesses here...
