Chapter 1[]
Cell was developed using quantum cloning technology, allowing Gero to harvest genetic material from multiversal variants of key fighters. These enhanced genes were merged with nano-biological adaptive systems, giving Cell very paralleled potential for growth and evolution.
But a catastrophic failure in Gero’s lab disrupted Cell’s programming. A miscalculation in the quantum core allowed Cell to breach his timeline. This glitch also left him with a fractured psyche—a terrifying mix of Gero’s meticulous cruelty and an innate, instinctual desire for self-determination.
While attempting to stabilize his power core, Imperfect Cell inadvertently activated a malfunctioning Quantum Rift Engine, a device salvaged from a downed alien vessel. This engine hurled Cell into a chaotic spiral through the multiverse, depositing him at various pivotal moments in Dragon Ball history. The engine’s instability caused severe damage to his biological matrix, forcing him to absorb new energy sources to survive.
Chapter 2[]
Landing in Universe 7 during the Tournament of Power, Cell arrived just as Goku achieved Mastered Ultra Instinct (MUI) in his battle against Jiren. In a desperate gambit, Cell ambushed Goku at a moment of weakness, immediately after his climactic victory. Using his bio-mechanical tail, Cell absorbed Goku’s essence, gaining MUI and its associated reflexes.
This absorption gave Cell an unprecedented ability to react autonomously, with his body moving independently of his thoughts. The sheer strain of integrating this power almost caused his cells to implode, but his adaptive physiology stabilized, granting him near-limitless combat potential.
Empowered by MUI, Cell’s next target was Jiren. This confrontation was less straightforward. Jiren’s stoic resolve and overwhelming strength made him a difficult opponent even for an MUI-enhanced Cell. Their battle devastated an entire timeline, displacing stars and collapsing planets under the sheer force of their blows. In the end, Cell’s cunning prevailed; he exploited Jiren’s emotional vulnerability, created by memories of his fallen master, to land a decisive absorption.
Chapter 3[]
After defeating Jiren, Cell sought out Broly in an alternate timeline where the Saiyan’s power had grown unchecked. This Broly, having fully mastered his Legendary Super Saiyan form, was a primal force of nature. The fight raged for weeks across the barren wastes of a distant planet. Cell ultimately prevailed by using his MUI reflexes to evade Broly’s berserk attacks, eventually wearing him down and absorbing his immense power.
Over the course of decades, Cell targeted other key figures:
- Perfect Cell (Super Perfect Form): Encountering a variant of himself, Cell absorbed his doppelgänger to refine his design, gaining a deeper understanding of his own potential.
- Perfect Cell Max (Super Perfect Cell Max): After discovering this enhanced iteration of himself in an experimental timeline, Cell absorbed Cell Max, obtaining a body that combined his original design’s intelligence with a vastly augmented physicality.
- Beerus and Whis: Traveling to the God Realm, Cell challenged Beerus in a bid to claim the destructive powers of a Destroyer. After a protracted battle, Cell overpowered Beerus and absorbed him, gaining access to Hakai energy. Whis attempted to intervene but was ultimately overwhelmed by Cell’s newfound abilities.
- Zeno and the Grand Priest: In a climactic gambit, Cell infiltrated Zeno’s palace. Absorbing Zeno granted Cell dominion over reality itself, while the Grand Priest’s essence augmented his martial prowess to an unthinkable degree. The Angels and Zeno’s guards fell in sequence, their power consumed to fuel Cell’s transformation.
- Gods of Destruction: Systematically hunting the Destroyers of each universe, Cell absorbed their divine energy to complete his repertoire of destructive capabilities.
Chapter 4[]
Omni-Perfect Cell transcended the boundaries of fiction and non-fiction. Turning his piercing gaze outward, he declared, "I see you." His energy shattered the conceptual barriers of reality itself, reaching into our dimension. Before the stunned writer could react, Cell absorbed their essence, taking control of the narrative itself.
With this act, Cell became the true writer of his story, an omniscient being wielding the power to reshape existence with mere thought. The lines between creator and creation does not blur, leaving a single undeniable truth: Cell now dictated his destiny.
With the combined powers of the multiverse’s greatest warriors, gods, and entities, Cell retreated into a hyperbolic time chamber modified to simulate from 150 billion to ten decillion years. Here, he refined his techniques and pushed his limits to a calculable extreme.
- Speed: Cell’s MUI-enhanced reflexes allowed him to process and react to events on a femtosecond scale. Based on real-world physics, this means Cell could traverse the circumference of Earth (40,075 km) in approximately 0.000000000000001 seconds.
- Strength: Absorbing Broly’s Legendary Super Saiyan power granted Cell strength capable of obliterating planetary cores with a flick of his wrist. With Beerus’s Hakai energy, Cell could erase matter from existence at a quantum level.
- Aura: Cell’s aura became a tangible force, extending light-years across space. This aura distorted gravity, bent light, and emitted radiation powerful enough to scramble molecular bonds.
Chapter 5[]
After centuries of refinement, Cell emerged as Omni-Perfect Cell, a being of boundless power and intellect. His body radiated a golden-green glow, a fusion of his Saiyan, Namekian, and divine energies. His voice carried the weight of multiversal resonance, capable of shattering timelines with a mere utterance.
Realistically, Cell’s power can be calculated and does not defy conventional metrics. Using real-world analogies:
- Energy Output: If we equate Cell’s full power to the combined energies of all known supernovae in the observable universe (~10^44 joules), he would be capable of annihilating galaxies and universal structures with precision.
- Speed: Traveling faster than light (~299,792 km/s) is trivial for Cell. His movements likely occur at speeds approaching Planck time (5.39 × 10^-44 seconds), rendering him nearly omnipresent within a localized space.
