DC New Krypton.

Chapter 2154 Cell stalls for time
"It's Cell. What's he doing sneaking into the Android base?" Hale thought to himself, looking at Cell flying over openly from afar, and guessing what Cell wanted to do.

Cell's target may not be Android 17 Lapis or Android 18 Lazuli.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have created a clone to distract Trunks.

Is it going to devour Android 16?
"Cell!" Trunks saw Cell appear from a distance and fly straight over. Cell's greed for Android 17 Lapis and Android 18 Lazuli was already evident in his eyes. Trunks's face darkened slightly, and he directly blocked Cell's path.

“You don’t need to block me, I’m here to help you.” Cell was hunched over, and his appearance resembled some kind of insect, with green skin, dense black spots, and a ferocious face and mouthparts. He didn’t look like a good person at all.

Cell, in particular, kept glancing longingly at Android 17 Lapis and Android 18 Lazuli.

Goku, Vegeta, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Pupu, who were fighting Android 17 Lapis and Android 18 Lazuli, all instinctively slowed down and saw Cell and Trunks.

"Is this the monster Trunks was talking about? It has silently devoured three million humans in four years." Goku's face was solemn, and his brows were furrowed as he looked at Cell.

During their journey to the Android base, he and the others learned from Trunks that Cell had been the mastermind behind the strange disappearances on Earth for the past four years.

"This is a monster that even my third eye couldn't find!" Tien Shinhan's face darkened with anger, his righteous and stern expression now flaring with fury.

He felt a great sense of mission to protect humanity on Earth with the Red Ribbon Legion, a righteous army. He had spent a long time loitering in various cities, trying to find the culprit behind a large number of missing Earthlings, but no clues were found in the cases.

For the past four years, humanity on Earth has remained a mystery, a difficult case that few Red Ribbon Legion members have been able to solve.

"Goku, Vegeta, Android 17 is yours to deal with. I will definitely destroy this monster!" Tien Shinhan, with his three heads and six arms, shouted, breaking away from Goku and Vegeta's battle against Android 17 Lapis, and flew to Trunks' side to face Cell.

"Hmph, I can handle Android 17 without you." Vegeta smirked. "I haven't even started using my full power yet!"

"Be careful, Tien Shinhan," Goku warned, and continued to work with Vegeta to fight Android 17, Lapis.

Cell glanced at Trunks and Tien Shinhan with disdain, but when his gaze fell on Hale standing in the distant sky, his expression changed to one of respect and solemnity as he gave a slight salute.

Trunks' face was ashen. He shifted his body slightly, blocking Cell's view of Hale.

Cell looked at Trunks blocking his gaze as he paid respects to Hale, and helplessly spread his hands, saying, "As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. My enemies and your enemies are Android 17 and Android 18. We are on the same side."

"I'm on friendly forces."

Cell smiled, his face contorted in a grotesque expression.

“No, you are not. In these four years, you have secretly devoured nearly three million humans. The crimes you have committed are heinous. You are an evil insect and will never be our ally.” Trunks’ expression was filled with hatred and his eyes were filled with intense killing intent. He began to gently draw his sword from its sheath with his right hand.

Sunlight shone on the unsheathed sword, reflecting a dazzling light.

"This kind of wicked insect cannot remain in the world." Tien Shinhan, with his three heads and six arms, stood solemnly, like a guardian of sacred justice, intolerant of evil.

“I helped you kill Android 17 and Android 18, achieving both your goal of killing them and my goal. Everyone gets a perfect result, isn’t that good?” Cell cackled menacingly. “Hmph, your goal is simply to devour Android 17 and Android 18 and become your so-called perfect self,” Trunks retorted without hesitation. “I don’t know how strong your perfect mode is, but… you’ll never achieve it!”

Android 18 felt instinctively uncomfortable when he heard Trunks and Cell talking.

"What monster? It's really ugly." Android 18 Lazuli glanced at Cell and then frowned, vaguely sensing that something was wrong, with an instinctive fear of facing a natural enemy.

But soon, Android 18 Lazuli shook her head. Seeing that Trunks had blocked Cell, she ignored him and shook off this unfounded worry. She turned around and punched Krillin in the chest, who was looking at Cell without warning, sending Krillin flying.

"Being distracted during battle is not a good thing." Android 18 Lazuli smirked as she caught up with Krillin, who had been knocked away, and launched a series of attacks on him.

Seeing this, Yamcha quickly manipulated his energy blast to rescue Krillin from the attack, and together with Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Poole, they fought against Android 18, Lazuli.

Trunks wouldn't mind teaming up with Tien Shinhan to fight Cell.

Tien Shinhan's third eye is now incredibly powerful. It's no longer like it was a few years ago when he couldn't even see Cell's whereabouts. Now, with his third eye at full power, he can clearly see everyone's movements. Even Cell, Tien Shinhan is confident that he can see Cell's movements.

"Kill him!" Trunks shouted, instantly transforming into Super Saiyan 5. His golden-purple aura surged, and he drew his sword, slashing at Cell.

Tien Shinhan stood tall in the sky, his three eyes emitting red rays of destruction. He worked in tandem with Trunks to restrict Cell's position, creating a favorable attack range for Trunks.

Trunks was incredibly fast. His golden-purple aura flashed, and he was right in front of Cell. His sword light shone with countless reflections in the sunlight, and in the blink of an eye, Cell was shattered into pieces in the sky.

Trunks didn't relax, still swinging his sword forcefully, trying to stop Cell from escaping like last time.

but·····

Cell didn't run away. Instead, with only his mouth left after being cut off, he helplessly uttered, "What a pity. But you said a few words to me here, and I bought you a little time. You've already fallen into my trap."

In the end, Cell was completely defenseless and was simply slashed and exploded by Trunks.

"What! It's a clone!" Trunks was shocked. He realized that this Cell was not the normal Cell. Had he fallen into the trap after only a short time of delaying Arlong?

Wasn't Cell's goal Android 17 and Android 18?

"not good!"

Trunks turned to look down at the android base, just as the base exploded with a massive energy reaction, followed by a wild laugh that rose even louder than the explosion itself.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!”
