This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

The cooking duel between the two Bulmas ended in a resounding defeat for the Bulma on Yuujin's side.

The feeling of losing to oneself was truly peculiar, but it was an expected result.

Although Bulma had practiced cooking in the past, ever since becoming a deity, she rarely engaged in such activities. Naturally, her culinary skills were no match for the older Bulma's well-honed expertise.

In the modest room, the two Bulmas brought out one delicious dish after another. As everyone enjoyed the food, they conversed merrily.

The older Bulma was very interested in Yuujin and his companions' world. She asked all sorts of questions and was amazed to learn that they had defeated one formidable enemy after another to protect Earth, even establishing their own empire in their world.

Of course, amidst this, the older Bulma didn't miss the chance to tease Yuujin. "This guy actually brought both me and my sister into his harem in his world. What an extraordinary man!"

Watching his mother, who was happily chatting and laughing with everyone, Trunks couldn't help but feel his eyes grow misty. He couldn't even remember the last time he had seen his mother so joyful.

"Thank you, Yuujin-san, Goku-san, and my mother from another world. Truly, thank you all."

The atmosphere was harmonious, and everyone was enjoying themselves. However, at that moment—

"We interrupt this program with an urgent report regarding the androids!"

"Reports indicate that Androids 17 and 18 have appeared again. Their current attack location is Sector BDN-4, in the Baseri District."

"Survivors in the area, please evacuate immediately! Survivors in the area, please evacuate immediately!"

An emergency broadcast suddenly blared from the radio, and everyone in the room froze, their expressions darkening.

"Damn those androids, they're causing trouble again!"

"This time, I won't let them get away with it!"

Trunks sprang to his feet, his face filled with fury.

"Trunks…"

Knowing that Trunks would undoubtedly go to stop Androids 17 and 18, the older Bulma looked deeply worried.

"Don't worry, Mother. In the other world, I trained for a year with Yuujin-san and Father. With my current strength, I can definitely defeat 17 and 18!"

"Trunks is right. His strength now is more than enough to take on those androids."

"To be safe, we'll go with him, so please don't worry, Bulma-san."

Clenching his fists confidently, Trunks reassured his mother. Beside him, Yuujin chimed in as well.

The older Bulma visibly relaxed but still reminded him earnestly:

"Trunks, it's okay if you can't destroy the androids, but you must protect yourself. I never want to experience the pain Chi-Chi went through when she lost Gohan."

"Yuujin-san, Goku, Vegeta, and the No. 18 from another world, I'm entrusting Trunks to you. He's my only reason to keep going, so please ensure he's safe."

"Don't worry, Bulma-san. We will definitely bring Trunks back unharmed!"

Understanding the older Bulma's maternal concern, Yuujin and Trunks decided to set off immediately due to the urgency of the situation.

Everyone exited the house, and under the gaze of the two Bulmas, Yuujin, Goku, Vegeta, No. 18, and Trunks took to the skies, quickly disappearing into the distance.

Location: Baseri District

Boom! Boom! BOOM!!!

"Androids! The androids have appeared!"

"Run! Everyone, run!"

"Ahhhhhhh—!"

In the heart of the city, No. 18 wore a look of annoyance as she relentlessly fired energy blasts, devastating the surrounding buildings. Survivors fled in terror, screaming as they scattered.

"Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!!"

"18, you're acting like a child. Losing a computer game and taking it out on everything around you," Android 17 said with a smirk, arms crossed as he stood nearby.

"Shut up! Keep your mouth shut!"

Barking angrily, No. 18 resumed her relentless barrage of energy blasts.

If No. 18 continued at this pace, the city would turn into a lifeless hell within minutes. Android 17 didn't seem to mind; they destroyed dozens of cities like this every day. Once No. 18 vented her frustrations, she would probably calm down.

"Stop right there, androids!"

A loud shout echoed from above. Startled, Androids 17 and 18 looked up to see several figures flying toward them at high speed before landing in front of them.

"Trunks, you're still alive?"

"Oh? And you brought reinforcements this time?"

Being familiar with Trunks, Android 17 smirked. However, when his gaze shifted to Yuujin and the others, his curiosity was piqued.

Apart from Trunks, all the strong warriors on this planet should have been wiped out by them. Who were these people?

As Androids 17 and 18 sized up Yuujin and his companions, the latter also scrutinized the androids.

Although their appearances were identical, these Androids 17 and 18 were vastly different from the ones in Yuujin's world. They exuded a deadly aura, their hands stained with countless lives.

"17, 18, I won't let you run amok any longer."

"This time, I will destroy you!"

Looking at the ruins around him, Trunks's fury erupted, and in an instant, he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"Just like Gohan back then. Knowing you're no match for us yet still coming to die. Honestly, I've never seen fools as persistent as you."

"17, I'm in a bad mood right now."

"Let me handle Trunks. If I don't vent, I might lose it!"

Android 18's frustration was evident, and Android 17 shrugged indifferently.

"Fine, though it means I'll miss out on some fun. Do as you like."

"This is far more entertaining than any computer game."

"Trunks, this time, I won't hold back. I will kill you!"

Smirking cruelly, No. 18 radiated malice.

"You're the ones who won't escape this time, 17 and 18! I won't let you go!"

Confident in his newfound strength, Trunks declared firmly.

"Tch, you're all bark, just like before. Always ending up battered like a dog," Android 18 sneered. "But before I kill you—"

"Hey, woman over there, why do you have the same face as me?"
