Rai-la!!!
A sharp whistling sound pierced through the air as Sharuru transformed into a streak of lightning, shooting toward Yuujin in an instant.
With a cruel yet mesmerizing smile on her face, she struck toward Yuujin's neck with her claws.
She had made it clear that she wouldn't hold back, and her first move proved it—vicious and deadly. If Yuujin hesitated even slightly and got hit, his entire neck would be crushed in an instant!
However, Yuujin wasn't one to be easily taken down. Countless battles had sharpened his instincts, and he reacted immediately. Sharuru's strike sliced through nothing but his afterimage, while he had already moved behind her, launching a sweeping kick aimed at her head.
Without even looking, Sharuru raised an arm to block the attack, and the impact of their clash triggered a deafening explosion in the air.
Their eyes met, sparks crackled between them, and their lips curled into matching battle-hungry smiles.
"Heh… hah… hah… hah…!!!"
Their auras flared as Yuujin and Sharuru unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks.
Each strike was ruthless, targeting only the most critical weak points. In the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged over a thousand blows.
Sharuru could feel that Yuujin's strength surpassed hers. Prolonged close combat was not in her favor. With a cold snort, she pulled back, then fired two energy beams from her eyes, sweeping them toward Yuujin.
The solid ground was sliced open, leaving two deep trenches. Even Yuujin felt a chill down his spine as he flipped backward at high speed, narrowly evading the attack.
At the same time, he seized the opportunity to launch a ki blast at Sharuru.
With a thunderous explosion, the entire training ground shook violently. The chaotic energy waves spread outward, forcing the watching women—including Gokumi—to either unleash their own auras or activate energy barriers to protect themselves.
"Is… is it over?"
Hiding behind Gokumi and Chi-Chi, Bulma couldn't help but ask.
The battle had only just begun, yet the intensity and sheer danger of it left her heart pounding.
She had consumed quite a few Hell Peaches and occasionally trained with Yuujin and the others. On Namek, the Grand Elder had even unlocked her latent potential, giving her a battle power in the tens of thousands. Twenty years ago, she alone would have been strong enough to rule Earth.
But she had no doubt—if she were in the fight, she wouldn't last a single move before being obliterated!
"Not yet!"
Gokumi's voice rang out as Sharuru burst through the smoke, completely unharmed.
Yuujin wasn't surprised. If she had been taken out that easily, she wouldn't be worthy of becoming his weapon.
His aura flared again, and the battle resumed as Yuujin charged straight at her…
…
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions continued to echo as Yuujin and Sharuru's battle stretched on for nearly an hour.
The training ground was now battered with craters and debris. Even the energy barrier that Bulma had set up flickered, on the verge of collapse.
"No doubt about it… she's a real monster."
"She can use Afterimage Technique, Destructo Disc, Instant Transmission, Kamehameha…"
"She knows all our techniques!"
"She's still weaker than the original Perfect Cell, but she's terrifying in her own right."
Watching from the edge of the battlefield, Gokumi and the others marveled at Sharuru's strength.
It was no surprise—Sharuru had been created as an artificial being, and all of them knew how monstrous androids could be.
Since her body contained genetic material from Gokumi, Chi-Chi, and Vegea, she could use all of their techniques and displayed extraordinary power right from the start.
At their current level, traditional scouters couldn't measure their power levels anymore. But if they had to estimate, Sharuru's strength was comparable to their Full-Power Super Saiyan forms.
That alone made her qualified to become Yuujin's weapon. However, compared to the original Perfect Cell, she was still lacking.
That wasn't surprising. When Dr. Gero and his computer created Cell, they prioritized absolute power. They had spliced together cells from Earthlings, Saiyans, Namekians, and even Frieza's lineage—anything that could enhance his strength.
Sharuru, on the other hand, was different. Even though she was meant to be a weapon, Yuujin didn't want some random genetic chimera. So, during her creation, he had Bulma integrate only the cells of Gokumi, Chi-Chi, and Vegea. Additionally, to make her look more human and less monstrous, Bulma had made genetic modifications that somewhat weakened her power.
Even so, she was already this strong right after her birth. While she might not match Perfect Cell, she still had room to grow. In terms of potential, she was in no way inferior!
"…This should be enough."
Dodging another attack from Sharuru, Yuujin murmured to himself midair.
If he had wanted to, he could have ended the fight long ago. The reason he had fought this long was simply to test her capabilities.
And from the results, he was quite satisfied.
Since he had gathered all the data he needed, it was time to end this battle!
Without hesitation, Yuujin transformed into Super Saiyan 2. Sparks of electricity danced around his body, and his power surged to more than double its previous level.
"W-What?!"
Sensing the drastic change in Yuujin's power, Sharuru's eyes widened in shock just as she prepared to attack again.
But before she could react, Yuujin appeared in front of her in an instant and unleashed tens of thousands of attacks in the blink of an eye.
"AAAAAHHHH!!!"
Sharuru had no chance to resist. She screamed in agony as her body was brutally pummeled, then crashed into the ground like a meteor.
"Cough… cough…"
Blood trickled from her lips. She tried to push herself up, but her body refused to move.
"…No regenerative abilities like Cell, huh?"
Landing beside her, Yuujin mused aloud.
That last attack had been to test her recovery capabilities. He hadn't held back, breaking nearly every bone in her body.
A normal person would have died instantly. If this had been Perfect Cell, he would have recovered effortlessly.
But Sharuru clearly lacked that kind of regenerative power. Most likely, she was still alive only thanks to the Saiyan cells within her, which granted extraordinary vitality.
That made sense—Cell's regeneration came from Namekian DNA, which Sharuru didn't have.
It wasn't disappointing, though. It would've been great if she had such abilities, but if not, it didn't matter. They had plenty of Senzu Beans. If she got injured in battle, she could just eat one to heal and replenish her energy.
With that in mind, Yuujin pulled out a Senzu Bean and fed it to Sharuru, restoring her injuries.
"Well then, Sharuru… Do I qualify as your master now?"
He looked at her with an amused smile.
Sharuru's expression shifted. After a moment of hesitation, she finally lowered her proud head, knelt on one knee, and bowed before him.
"…Master."
To be continued…
