"Gwaaahhh...!"
Cell let out a pained scream.
His face twisted in agony from the excruciating pain.
As expected, a battle power of 10 trillion was just too ridiculous.
At least for the Cell Saga—it was already invincible.
Aishi looked mildly surprised.
He honestly hadn't expected that a casual energy blast from him would reduce Cell to such a state.
Even he couldn't help but marvel at the strength of the Gogeta template!
Nearby—
Both 18 and 16 gasped sharply.
Their eyes widened in shock as they stared at Aishi.
Too strong.
This level of power was completely beyond their league!
They had thought Vegeta was already invincible after the Time Chamber…
But now there was someone even more overwhelming.
18's eyes sparkled as she stared directly at Aishi.
——Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment—
Two blazing golden auras descended from the sky.
Moments later—
Vegeta and Trunks arrived.
They landed a short distance to Aishi's side.
Vegeta's brows were tightly furrowed.
Cell's current miserable state—he saw it clearly.
Turning to Aishi, his expression grew puzzled. He called out:
"Hey. Who are you?"
Anyone who could beat Cell into this state—
Had to be extremely powerful.
Though… not impossible—Vegeta believed he could do it too!
Still, it was odd—
He had absolutely no memory of someone this strong.
Trunks was also sizing Aishi up.
Completely unfamiliar.
This person didn't exist in his future.
Trunks frowned slightly, muttering in his mind,
"Looks like this timeline has shifted."
He should have expected as much.
After all, because of him, Uncle Goku had avoided the heart virus.
And survived.
But judging by how Aishi was standing beside 18—
He probably wasn't on their side.
This was troublesome.
Still… he and his father could each take one.
Yes—both of them were fully confident they could handle the situation.
Meanwhile—
Aishi's lips curled up with joy.
Because the system's voice had just sounded in his head:
[Ding! Detected interaction with Vegeta. Gogeta template progress increased by 15%!]
Holy crap!
That much?!
Aishi was stunned.
He'd been grinding like crazy all these years—
If he had known that just meeting Vegeta would unlock this much progress…
Why the hell did he bother training so hard?!
"Open my attribute panel."
He spoke calmly in his mind.
[Host: Aishi]
[Power Level: 500 trillion]
[Bloodline: Pure-blood Saiyan (Top-tier)]
[Skills: Bukūjutsu (Flight), Ki Control, Kamehameha, Final Flash, Ki-Eye, Clone Technique, Comet Crash, Ultimate Kamehameha…]
[Main Template: Gogeta – Super (Unlock: 30%)]
[Secondary Template: Kibito Kai (Unlocked)]
Not only had his battle power jumped from 10 trillion to 500 trillion…
He'd also gained new skills.
Clone Technique, Ki-Eye…
Those were skills only GT Gogeta had.
But the most exciting part—
Ultimate Kamehameha!!
This was huge!
Even as he processed the system's update, Aishi didn't appear dazed like a fool in reality.
He simply looked at Vegeta calmly and said,
"Aishi."
At first, he'd been annoyed at Vegeta's bossy tone—
But now, thanks to him unlocking 15% more progress—
His gaze toward Vegeta was noticeably more friendly.
"Aishi?"
Vegeta frowned and repeated the name.
He looked at Aishi—there was something vaguely familiar.
So he asked again:
"You're a Saiyan?"
As the Prince of Saiyans, Vegeta was intimately familiar with their kind.
And this Aishi guy—
Looked and felt very Saiyan.
As soon as Vegeta said that—
Everyone was stunned.
Trunks exclaimed,
"A Saiyan?!"
He glanced at Aishi again—
And suddenly it clicked.
That aura—it really did resemble a Saiyan's.
It was just like theirs.
16 and 18 were equally surprised.
18's pretty brows furrowed in confusion,
"There's no record of Aishi in Dr. Gero's database."
As much as she hated Gero—
She couldn't deny his scientific brilliance.
Everyone, even Goku, had been recorded.
So how did Aishi slip through?
Facing Vegeta's question, Aishi nodded.
"Yes."
Vegeta scowled even more.
"No… that's not right."
"Other than me and Kakarot's group, there shouldn't be any surviving Saiyans."
Then he smirked.
"Well, if you really are a Saiyan—then you should be able to go Super Saiyan, right?"
He didn't quite believe Aishi's claim.
But he had to admit—the ki was very Saiyan-like.
So instead of debating—
Why not just have him transform and prove it?
"Sure."
Aishi nodded.
"Good. Then transform and fight me, Super Vegeta!"
Vegeta grinned, eager to throw hands.
Before Aishi could even respond—
Trunks stepped in urgently.
"Father, stop! We should deal with Cell first!"
Vegeta scowled.
"Trunks! What are you so afraid of?! You've been nagging me nonstop!"
"Cell's trash—I could beat him with one hand!"
"But—!"
"Out of my way! You're such a coward—no pride as the Prince's son!"
Vegeta snapped.
Then he turned back to Aishi.
"Come! Transform into your strongest form—and fight me!"
But then—
A jarring voice cut in.
One filled with rage.
"Damn you…"
"You guys are seriously underestimating me!!"
Everyone turned to look—
And saw that Cell had recovered using Piccolo's regenerative ability.
Though his ki was significantly weakened—
He still felt utterly humiliated.
He was supposed to be the big bad—
But no one here was even paying attention to him!
"Vegeta! You said you'd help me absorb 18!"
Cell turned to Vegeta pleadingly.
It sounded like begging.
But Cell had no other choice.
He just needed to absorb 18—
And he'd be perfect.
Then, he'd settle the score with each and every one of them.
Especially that bastard—
He glared at Aishi, only to flinch at the calm, emotionless gaze staring back.
He quickly looked away.
Too composed.
Too dangerous.
Better hold back… for now.
Vegeta nodded with a cocky grin.
"Right."
"Let him absorb 18. Then the two of them can come at me together."
"...???"
Trunks' face twisted into a grimace.
He could already tell—
Aishi was mysterious. His power was no joke.
And Cell, as Perfect, would be even more terrifying.
Yet now they were both being thrown at him?!
What the hell is Father thinking?!
"Alright, Vegeta! You're a real man!"
Cell's eyes lit up.
"Hold him off for me—while I take care of that brat!"
He pointed straight at Aishi.
