"The data on Sharuru is truly astonishing. Since she possesses cells from Gokumi and Vegea, her body also contains the unique S-cells of Saiyans. She should be able to transform and evolve just like you," Bulma said excitedly as she handed a data sheet to Yuujin.
Flipping through the document casually, Yuujin nodded in agreement.
This was all within expectations. If Cell could evolve into Golden Cell, then there was no reason Sharuru, who also had Saiyan cells, couldn't do the same.
However, according to Bulma's statistical analysis and the computer's calculations, the Saiyan cells from Gokumi and Vegea had undergone distinct changes after merging with Sharuru. Her current state was equivalent to Super Saiyan, but the exact power boost from her next evolution remained uncertain. Still, it was unlikely to be as exaggerated as the initial 50-fold increase that Saiyans experienced when first transforming.
If Cell had gained a 50-fold boost upon turning Golden, even a fusion of Gokumi and Vegea into Vekumi might not have been enough to stop him.
But that was a topic for another time. Right now, Yuujin was more concerned with another matter—
"Bulma, what about what I mentioned before? Is it possible to mass-produce androids?"
Excluding Android 16 and 17, Yuujin had already acquired three androids—18, Dark 18, and the newly created Sharuru. Each of them was undeniably powerful, which gave him the idea of mass-producing androids.
He didn't need an overwhelming number—just a force of a few dozen or even a few hundred androids. If that could be achieved, who in the universe could oppose them?
"Creating androids requires many rare materials. Although we've cracked some key information and producing more isn't impossible, the cost is far too high. The resources spent to create a single android could be used to train multiple Red Silk Girls instead," Bulma shook her head, seemingly against the idea of mass production.
"Most of the galaxy already belongs to our empire. A bit of resource consumption shouldn't be an issue," Yuujin frowned. "The Red Silk Girls are good, but training them takes a long time, and it's difficult for them to reach truly high levels of combat power."
As Yuujin's personal guard, the Red Silk Girls had loyally served him over the years, and he deeply valued their contributions.
However, as he pointed out, training each Red Silk Girl required significant time and effort. It wasn't feasible to send them all into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and while they were outstanding subordinates, they struggled to become true high-tier warriors.
The strongest among them were Mai, Hasky, and Violet, yet even they only had a battle power of several million—this was after years of investment and training from Yuujin.
Compared to Yuujin and Gokumi, however, the gap was still in the hundreds or even thousands of times!
Furthermore, not everyone was blessed with protagonist-level growth. Normally, the stronger a being became, the harder it was to advance. Chi-Chi, as a human capable of rivaling Saiyans, was an almost miraculous exception. The resources needed to train another like her could be even greater than what was required to create multiple androids!
"Yuujin, you're not wrong," Bulma admitted, "but my real concern isn't the resources."
"As weapons, androids are indeed excellent. But they're also extremely dangerous. Right now, we can barely keep control over just one Sharuru. If we mass-produce more…"
She trailed off, but Yuujin already understood.
Bulma had a valid point. Each android possessed immense power and terrifying potential, but their personalities and loyalty were uncertain.
One or two could be managed, but mass-producing them could lead to unexpected disasters. The Cell incident was not something Yuujin wanted to relive.
"That's a fair concern. Maybe I was being too greedy."
"Bulma, let's put this plan on hold for now," Yuujin sighed.
While he desired more powerful warriors like Sharuru, he wasn't reckless enough to blindly pursue strength without considering the risks.
Seeing that Yuujin took her words to heart, Bulma was relieved.
Thus, the android mass-production project was temporarily shelved—perhaps until Yuujin grew strong enough to completely control them.
But by that time, if Yuujin had already conquered the universe, would he even need an android army?
Glancing at Sharuru in the lab, Yuujin quickly reached a conclusion.
Even if he didn't need soldiers anymore, powerful weapons could always be useful…
Back to Training
Life soon returned to normal for Yuujin and his wives.
Apart from spending time with them, he never neglected his training.
After reaching Super Saiyan 2, Yuujin had been full of confidence, believing few in the universe could threaten him. But the Cell incident had been a wake-up call.
The universe was vast and full of unknown terrors. His current strength was still far from enough—if he truly wanted to protect everything he cherished, he had to keep growing stronger!
For both Saiyans and Earthlings, a sense of crisis was always the best motivation for growth. Combined with the gains from their last great battle, Yuujin and his companions were now experiencing a rapid surge in strength. Every day, they pushed their limits.
On this particular day, Yuujin, Gokumi, and Vegea were engaged in their usual training session—
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Haah! Haah! Haah!"
High in the sky, Yuujin, Gokumi, and Vegea were locked in an intense three-way battle.
After advancing to Super Saiyan 2, they were undoubtedly the strongest in the temple, so they often trained together.
Not far away, Android 18 and Dark Android 18 were locked in their own fierce duel.
Despite both being versions of Android 18, they didn't get along. They were always competing, never missing a chance to outdo each other—even during training.
Elsewhere, Chi-Chi, Celipa, and Sharuru were engaged in their own match. Unlike Yuujin's chaotic brawl, this was a two-on-one fight. Sharuru was so powerful that neither Chi-Chi nor Celipa could take her alone—they had to work together just to hold their ground.
Everyone exchanged blows, honing their skills while reveling in the joy of battle. The training grounds were alive with energy.
Just as the session was nearing its end, a figure in military attire stormed in—Launch, accompanied by Mai, Hasky, and Violet.
"Yuujin, we have a problem!"
Training immediately halted as Yuujin and the others landed on the ground.
"What happened, Launch?"
Yuujin asked, sensing the urgency in her voice.
"Our army is under attack!"
