Goku shook his head blankly:

"No."

"That’s right."

Trunks’ expression grew increasingly serious:

"I traveled back to this point in time and found that many things don’t match my memories. The only variable seems to be Su Xin, so all these changes should be related to him."

"Combining with Uncle Goku’s experiences, I think it was Su Xin who took control of Dr. Gero’s lab, using all artificial humans for himself. That’s why Uncle Goku appeared before Su Xin after being defeated."

"Moreover, Uncle Goku’s power increase, I suspect, is due to experiments and modifications by Su Xin."

"Similar to those artificial humans."

"Ah? No way!"

Upon hearing this, Goku seemed to be reacting for the first time, starting to panic.

In his impression, artificial humans were full of parts, cyborgs like robots.

He didn’t want to become like that.

The others were also panicking, and Bulma quickly arranged for Sun Goku to undergo an examination, but found that he was still a complete human being.

This made Goku breathe a sigh of relief.

But Trunks was a bit puzzled.

"How is this possible?"

"No modifications, yet his power increased a hundred times. How was this achieved? Who exactly is this Su Xin?"

Vegeta, who watched the examination process, had his eyes flicker, as if pondering something, silently watching Sun Goku.

"Forget it, that’s not important now. The most important thing is to quickly find Sharu."

Returning to his senses, Trunks continued:

"Those three artificial humans are just small threats. The truly terrifying threat is Sharu. Sharu is surely growing in secret, and once he becomes a full body, his power will be many times stronger than those three artificial humans. By then, even Uncle Goku may not be a match for full-body Sharu."

Goku confidently smiled:

"Don’t worry. As long as I find Sharu, whether he is in infant form or full form, I can definitely defeat him."

Trunks hadn’t witnessed Goku’s strength firsthand, but the fear of artificial humans and Sharu was almost etched into his bones. So even hearing that Goku’s strength increased more than a hundredfold, he still felt uneasy.

Now that his injuries were almost healed, he pulled everyone to continue searching for Sharu.

Everyone had no choice but to set out together.

The search went on for several months.

But Sharu seemed to not even exist; the Earth Warriors found nothing, and gradually everyone became slack.

Just at this moment.

Sharu, in the small world’s incubation chamber, finally broke out of his shell.

Su Xin directly digitized him.

[Name: Sharu One]

[Qi: 1869]

[Talents: Undying Body, Infinite Energy, Devouring Absorption, Quick Learning]

"Tsk tsk, freshly hatched and already having a combat power close to twenty million. As expected of the ultimate being."

Su Xin nodded with satisfaction. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

While he was checking the attributes, Sharu’s Qi was continuously increasing. The efficiency of this automatic increase surpassed the hard training of the vast majority of people, indicating his formidable talents.

After digitization, Su Xin didn’t give any orders to Sharu, merely threw him onto Earth, letting him survive and grow stronger instinctively.

...

On Earth.

Sharu first devoured a few dinosaurs in the mountains, as an appetizer, then attempted to sense the positions of other strong individuals on Earth.

His sensing ability was not weaker than those Dragon Ball Warriors who underwent intense training, but rather stronger, and being an artificial human, his stealth when hiding Qi was even better than the Dragon Ball Warriors’ stealth.

So, he easily found positions of some Dragon Ball Warriors, while the latter had no way to sense his presence.

"As long as I swallow them, I can grow rapidly; soon I will become a full body."

With an instinct for becoming stronger, without Su Xin’s orders, he would hunt following this instinct for rapid growth.

And the Earth Warriors were his prey.

Shortly thereafter, he found Tianjin Fan and Chiaotzu, who were training in the mountains.

Hiding behind a mountain, looking at the two practicing combat drills from afar, Sharu carefully felt the intensity of their Qi.

"Apparently much weaker than me."

Sharu thought silently.

After sensing carefully for a while, until he fully confirmed the strength of their Qi, he suddenly flew out from behind the mountain, rushing directly at them.

"Who?!"

Tianjin Fan turned his head vigilantly.

All he saw was a green flash, and then he felt himself being enveloped by something.

Tianjin Fan tried to struggle, but the mysterious entity enveloping him started wriggling rapidly, just like a human esophagus swallowing an object, pulling his body inward with such strong suction that he was powerless to resist.

In just a moment’s work, Tianjin Fan was forcibly devoured by the suction device on Sharu’s tail.

Seeing this scene, Chiaotzu was stunned.

"Tianjin Fan!"

He desperately burst Qi, trying to rush forward to avenge Tianjin Fan, but was forcibly devoured in the same way by Sharu in the blink of an eye.

After absorbing two people consecutively, although neither was very strong, it gave Sharu a sense of inner satisfaction.

...

"Hmm?"

Training at Mount Baozi, Sun Goku sensed the momentary burst of Qi from Tianjin Fan and Chiaotzu, which vanished the next moment. He immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Could they be in danger?"

Sun Goku quickly soared into the sky, flying towards the direction of Tianjin Fan and Chiaotzu.

On the other side, Trunks, Klin, and others also sensed the change in Qi, and except for Vegeta, they all flew over.

Before long.

Everyone successively arrived at the mountain area where Tianjin Fan and Chiaotzu disappeared.

"It seems everyone noticed that Uncle Tianjin Fan and Uncle Chiaotzu disappeared. If I’m not mistaken, they should have been devoured by Sharu."

"Sharu... has appeared!"

Trunks’ face was gloomy, with a tinge of fear lurking in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Sharu had already sensed everyone’s arrival and was hiding nearby, concealing his Qi and quietly observing, waiting for the chance to attack his next target.

"So many strong ones, so many preys."

"If I can absorb them all, my power will definitely increase substantially."

"Especially him... Sun Goku!"

Sharu’s eyes were full of excitement, eager to rush forward and swallow everyone immediately.

But he knew he wasn’t strong enough now; if he revealed himself, not only would he fail to devour them, but he would also be defeated by them.

So he could only continue waiting for the right opportunity.

Just then.

Sharu’s expression suddenly changed, looking toward the sky.

"Who is that? Such strong Qi!"

Sun Goku and the others also looked up at the sky simultaneously, with each of their expressions changing.

"Such strong Qi!"

"That Qi feels so familiar, it’s like... Frieza?"

"Yes, that’s Frieza’s Qi; even if he was reduced to ashes, I would still remember his Qi!"

"But why is his Qi so strong? More powerful than back then!"

"There are also two other Qi with him, all very terrifying, very evil!"

"Too scary!"

"Frieza actually came to Earth!"

Even Goku, whose power increased a hundredfold, had his expression turn serious after sensing the three rapidly approaching Qi from space.

"He’s still alive?"

"And has grown so much stronger?"

"He doesn’t seem much weaker than I am now."

"This is troublesome; if we fight on Earth, even if I can defeat him, others will be killed by the aftereffects of the battle."

"Even the whole Earth could be damaged in our fight; Bic would die, and the Dragon Balls would disappear."
