Paragus suddenly noticed that Broly was radiating a dark green light and was turning around to look at him with a complicated expression.

"Call out!"

Broly's eyes were resolute as he quickened his pace and soon disappeared from sight under Paragus's watchful gaze.

"Hey, Broly, stop right there! I told you to stop, did you hear me?! I'm your father! You can't leave your old man here!" Paragus shouted, getting impatient.

However, Broly has completely disappeared.

Broly quickly reunited with Luo Tian, flew into the starry sky, and, led by Luo Tian, flew in another direction.

Luo Tian neither approved nor opposed Broly's decision.

These are all part of Broly's upbringing.

Perhaps one day, Broly will resolve his inner conflict and forgive his father.

Perhaps one day, Paragus will accidentally die.

None of this matters anymore.

"I'm starting to understand what you said before. Most Saiyan have no emotions. My father treated me like Raditz treated Kakarot. He could kill me without hesitation when he didn't need me," Broly said in a deep voice, holding back his tears.

"Yes, the vast majority of Saiyan would indeed do such a thing, which led to the extinction of the Saiyan." Luo Tian nodded in agreement and sighed, "And among the Saiyan who remain now, whether it's you, Goku, or even Vegeta in the future, I believe they will cherish their family ties and will no longer be as cold and ruthless as they were in the past."

Broly fell silent.

"I don't mean to plead for your father. Whatever decision you make, I will support you." Luo Tian smiled and patted Broly on the shoulder. "You've grown up, Broly."

Broly could no longer bear it; tears streamed down his face, and he cried like a child.

The Universe 6, Earth.

Capsule Corp Headquarters.

In her room at the research institute, Bulma held Xiao Ai's personal screwdriver, pursing her lips in hesitation.

Just then, Dr. Briefs pushed open the door and walked in.

"Bulma, what are you doing?" Dr. Briefs pushed up his glasses and asked, glancing sideways.

"Dad... I want to erase Xiao Ai's memories of Broly ... What do you think?" Bulma sighed softly.

"Why?" Dr. Briefs asked, taking a sip of water.

"I feel like she's in too much pain... Since it's a painful memory, it's better not to keep it." Bulma bit her lower lip hard.

"Bulma, it is because of these painful memories that Ai is Xiao Ai she is today. Those brief moments with Broly caused a qualitative change in her system and gave birth to her self-awareness," Dr. Briefs replied. "The presence of pain will bring joy and sadness, which means that she has developed human thoughts and is no longer a string of program code."

"So... these memories are what make up Xiao Ai is today, right?" Bulma asked quietly.

"Pain is an experience; only after the storm will the rainbow appear." Dr. Briefs patted his daughter's arm, adjusted his glasses again, and left the laboratory.

"Will there really be a rainbow after the storm?" Bulma looked up at the deep blue sky and muttered to herself.

However, Bulma had already put the screwdriver in her hand back into her toolbox.

Bulma strode forward and pressed the power button on Xiao Ai again.

"Hello, Bulma, this Xiao Ai the robot at your service," Xiao Ai's sweet little girl voice rang out.

"Xiao Ai, how about upgrading your voice system so you can change from a little girl to a girl?" Bulma asked.

"So, can Xiao Ai grow to be the same size as Broly?" Xiao Ai asked innocently.

"Xiao Ai will grow up too. I'll take the time to give you a better body." Bulma nodded vigorously.

"Thank you, Bulma." The light above Xiao Ai's head shone brightly again.

The Universe 7, the vast starry sky.

They flew through space for about 10 more minutes.

Luo Tian spotted a yellowish-brown planet in the distance.

This planet was named Planet Kadra.

Luo Tian, with Broly who had calmed down, stopped in the air above the planet and looked down.

Through the clouds carrying yellow sand, Luo Tian saw a familiar figure on a high mountain.

It was Bardock, Goku's father.

Bardock looked up at the starry sky, but apart from seeing yellow sand, he could hardly make out the stars high above.

The next moment, Bardock flew to the vicinity of the spaceship and shook his head helplessly.

"Damn it! I don't know how many years have passed! Could Planet Vegeta have been destroyed?!" Bardock muttered to himself, his anxiety and sadness growing stronger.

Just then, Luo Tian descended from the sky with Broly, landing opposite Bardock.

Bardock paused for a moment, then looked up at Luo Tian and glanced at Broly.

Then, Bardock focused his gaze on Broly, his expression becoming serious and alert.

Bardock seemed to sense that this person's strength was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Who is the other person?

Silver-white hair!

Hmm? That's... a tail?

A silvery-white tail?

Bardock quickly noticed the silver-white tail behind Luo Tian.

That tail was particularly eye-catching, swaying randomly in a rhythmic way.

Bardock's pupils contracted, and he glanced sideways at Broly's tail.

"Saiyan? You're Saiyan!" Bardock's face lit up with surprise. "Tell me quickly, how is Planet Vegeta doing now?"

"Planet Vegeta was destroyed 24 years ago," Luo Tian said truthfully.

"You... what did you say? So many years have passed?" Bardock's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Damn it, was it Frieza again?"

"Yes, it was indeed Frieza who did it." Luo Tian nodded.

"I will not let him get away with this!" Bardock suddenly radiated golden light.

"Smack!"

Bardock's hair stood on end and turned golden in an instant.

A golden light flashed, and powerful energy emanated from Bardock's body.

Super Saiyan!

Bardock has already transformed into Super Saiyan.

Broly was a little surprised, looking Bardock up and down as he transformed into Super Saiyan.

As for the other party's identity, Broly had already guessed some of the clues.

After all, this person looks remarkably similar to Kakarot.

"How did you get to this planet? Can you take me away from here?" Bardock asked through gritted teeth.

"It flew over." Luo Tian said with a smile.

Bardock was slightly taken aback and was speechless for a moment.

A brief period of stagnation.

"Flew over? You mean flew over?" Bardock asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"Yes, they flew over from a distant planet." Luo Tian nodded.

"Can you survive in outer space?" Bardock asked again.

"Okay." Luo Tian nodded with a smile.

Bardock: "..."

"You've lived for over 1000 years, and you don't even have the ability to survive in outer space?" Luo Tian suddenly asked, looking at Bardock.

"How... how did you know?" Bardock's face changed color. "Who exactly are you?"

"Luo Tian." Luo Tian said his name.

"Luo Tian?" Bardock searched his mind carefully for the name.

After all, 1,000 years had passed, and Bardock had forgotten many people, only remembering his relatives and enemies.

After thinking for a full minute, Bardock suddenly remembered the other person's identity.

"I know, aren't you that former genius? You cultivated your Battle Power to 20,000, and then Battle Power mysteriously disappeared! It's you, isn't it?" Bardock came to his senses, looked at Luo Tian and sighed, "I can't believe you've grown up so much... Why is your hair this color? Did you dye it?"

"I'm not here to reminisce with you, but to test your strength. Since you've lived for over 1000 years, your strength shouldn't disappoint me," Luo Tian said thoughtfully.

"You want to test my strength? Can't you see it?" Bardock pointed to his nose with his thumb. "Can't you see the changes in my body? Can you transform like that?"

"I really don't know how." Luo Tian shook his head.

"Let me tell you, this is the Super Saiyan transformation that Frieza fears most." Bardock snorted, his face revealing boundless confidence. "Come at me all at once, I'll take you on with one hand."

As he spoke, Bardock put his left hand behind his back and gently raised his right hand, assuming a fighting stance.

Without Luo Tian's instruction, Broly took a step forward and unleashed his energy.

"Boom!"

Broly raised his energy and roared toward Bardock.

Bardock's expression changed slightly as he watched Broly rushing towards him.

Bardock hadn't expected that his fellow Saiyan would have such strong energy.

"Smack!"

Bardock slammed his palm down, striking Broly squarely in the chest.

Broly's body trembled slightly.

Yes, it was just a slight tremor.

Immediately afterwards, Broly slammed Bardock's head down onto the ground.

"Splash!"

With a loud bang, the summit of the mountain where Bardock lived split open.

The rocks collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.

Amidst the dust and smoke, Bardock's body shone with golden light, and he delivered another heavy punch to Broly.

Broly withstood Bardock's attack, his body trembling slightly once again.

Immediately afterwards, Broly slapped Bardock crashing into the collapsing mountain below.

Bardock transformed into a golden light and rushed up from below.

Broly leaped into the air, pressed his hand down, and a powerful energy quickly enveloped the area.

Bardock, who had just rushed up, was covered by a powerful pressure and fell from the sky once again.

"Boom!"

Bardock crashed heavily into the rocky ruins below, where he was buried in dust.

Broly hovered high in the sky, silently watching Bardock looked quite disheveled.

However, at that moment, Broly suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Broly had just realized what was happening when he saw a golden figure appear behind him.

Luo Tian held the Scepter and looked into the distance, and was shocked to find that Bardock's body was already wrapped in bolts of lightning.

"Oh my, this Goku's father is no ordinary man! He has transformed again on top of his previous form! His energy has increased dramatically, to twice that of before." Linglong couldn't help but sigh with a little emotion, and pondered, "According to the naming given by Vados, if the transformation just now was called Super Saiyan, then this transformation should be called Super Saiyan 2."

Luo Tian: "???"

"The name given by Vados?" Luo Tian was taken aback.

"Yes, after you disappeared, Broly also had a new transformation, with dark green lightning on his body. Vados named Broly's new transformation the Super Saiyan 2. Weren't you watching it at the time?" Linglong asked back.

"It was a crucial moment for cohesion at the time, so they probably didn't pay attention," Luo Tian said, unsurprised.

"Vados also said that the name of Broly's new transformation will be changed after you transform into a true angel," Linglong said with a smile.

"No need to rename it, this name is quite good." Luo Tian smiled.

Linglong:"..."

Is it really that good just to add a serial number to the end?

Are you and Vados so casual about naming yourselves?

"In that case, let's call Bardock's transformation Super Saiyan 2 as well," Linglong sighed softly.

"Okay." Luo Tian did not object.

Bardock appeared behind Broly in an instant after transforming into Super Saiyan 2.

"Bang!"

Bardock landed a powerful punch on Broly's back.

Broly's body lunged forward, tumbling several times in the air before finally coming to a stop.

Broly had just stopped when he found Bardock standing right in front of him.

"You're quite something. I had to transform into Super Saiyan 2 to defeat you." Bardock smiled at Broly. "What's your name?"

"Broly," Broly said, revealing his name.

"I've never heard of Saiyan like you." Bardock didn't know much about Broly.

After all, Broly's affair was handled in a relatively discreet manner back then.

Furthermore, Bardock was still fighting on Planet Cereal at that time, so he wasn't very familiar with some of the events that were happening on Planet Vegeta.

"Want to continue?" Bardock asked with a smile, golden lightning flashing around him, his hair standing on end even more.

"He also calls this transformation Super Saiyan 2." Linglong was slightly taken aback.

Luo Tian didn't reply, knowing that Bardock couldn't possibly only have two transformations.

This guy has lived for over 1000 years.

If he could only transform into a Super Saiyan 2, Luo Tian would also be disappointed.

"Continue." Broly said calmly, a flash of energy emanating from his body.

"Smack!"

In an instant, Broly's body expanded by one size.

Broly knew perfectly well that if he didn't transform, he might suffer a small loss.

Broly's transformation now utilizes the energy of the Great Ape.

"What kind of change is this?" Bardock was taken aback, a little confused.

Broly smiled slightly and quickly rushed towards Bardock's direction.

"Bang bang bang!"

The two engaged in a fierce battle in the skies above the planet.

In just a few seconds, the two had already fought hundreds of rounds.

Bardock grew increasingly alarmed with each battle.

I've already transformed into Super Saiyan 2, but I'm still no match for him?

How come this Saiyan is so strong?

"How is Frieza?" Bardock suddenly asked.

"He should be alive and well." Broly and Bardock exchanged a punch.

"With your current strength, you could easily destroy Frieza, so why don't you do it?" Bardock was very unwilling.

"He didn't provoke me back then," Broly shook his head.

Should I tell you that I tore his son in half?

"He destroyed Planet Vegeta!" Bardock said in a deep voice.

"It has nothing to do with me," Broly replied.

"You say it has nothing to do with you! Aren't there any of your relatives on there?!" Bardock became increasingly angry and shouted loudly.

"No," Broly answered truthfully. "Before Planet Vegeta was destroyed, my father and I were banished to the distant Planet Vampa by King Vegeta."

Bardock: "..."

Bardock was speechless for a moment.

"Alright, I admit your strength is indeed formidable, and it certainly makes me look at you in a new light." Bardock snorted, then turned to look at Luo Tian. "Luo Tian, I didn't expect you to find such a powerful clansman! However, today I'll show you a realm you've never witnessed before!"

"A realm I've never seen before?" Luo Tian's interest was immediately piqued.

Broly looked up at Bardock, his expression filled with anticipation.

In reality, Broly still hoped that Bardock could become stronger.

After all, this guy can take my place in the Universe 3 or Universe 9.

If his skill level isn't high enough, Broly and Luo Tian will part ways in a month.

Since then, it must have been very, very difficult to even meet up.

So this time, in the fight between Broly and Bardock, apart from the beginning when Broly used a little more force because of his father's situation, he basically held back without anyone noticing during the rest of the fight.

Of course, Broly also acknowledged Bardock's strength.

Broly believed that Bardock was the strongest Saiyan he had ever seen.

Luo Tian doesn't count; he's an angel now, so he's no longer considered Saiyan.

Now that Broly heard that Bardock had reached a new level, his eyes gleamed with even greater anticipation.

"Smack!"

Bardock took a deep breath, and suddenly a fiery red light emanated from his body.

The fiery red light, like flames, blazed fiercely and quickly spread all over Bardock's body.

When you look again, Bardock's hair is standing on end and has turned fiery red.

Luo Tian blinked, somewhat surprised.

Is this the Super Saiyan God?

Super Saiyan God's hair wasn't standing up, was it? It's only when he's blue that it stands up.

However, Bardock's current transformation involves his hair standing on end.

In addition, Luo Tian also sensed that Bardock's transformed color seemed to be darker than the color of Goku's Super Saiyan God form in the story.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. This is a new level you've never seen before." Bardock said with a smile, enunciating each word clearly, "Super Saiyan God!"

"Super Saiyan God?" Broly was slightly taken aback.

Luo Tian narrowed his eyes slightly.

He truly is Super Saiyan God.

Although they have the same name, the effects should be different.

"I'll finish this fight soon, so be careful." Bardock was still relatively kind, and he even gave Broly a special reminder.

Broly nodded slightly.

"Whoosh!"

Bardock vanished from the spot in a flash.

No, a small flame even remained where it was.

In just a moment, Bardock appeared behind Broly.

Broly reacted quickly, suddenly kicking Bardock.

"Smack!"

Bardock gently raised his left hand, easily blocking Broly's attacking kick with his left arm.

Broly's kick felt like it landed on the ocean; all the force seemed to vanish in an instant.

Broly's eyes sparkled with boundless delight.

This guy really didn't disappoint me!

"Fast speed, but too weak force!" Bardock chuckled lightly, then slammed his palm down, striking Broly squarely in the chest.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Broly's body slid rapidly downwards, passing through the mountains below.

"Boom!"

The next moment, Broly collapsed to the ground, seemingly motionless.

Endless yellow sand surged in, as if it would bury Broly.

"Luo Tian, he's still alive. I didn't go all out, otherwise I would have killed him." Bardock flashed again and appeared next to Luo Tian, saying calmly, "This Saiyan named Broly has good talent, but unfortunately his skill level is too weak. If he trains properly, he will be qualified to be my opponent in the future."

Luo Tian remained silent.

"But speaking of which, Luo Tian, how did you and Broly acquire the ability to survive in outer space?" Bardock asked curiously.

"Then how did you manage to live for over 1000 years?" Luo Tian looked at Bardock with great interest.

"Could it be... you... you are also?" Bardock suddenly realized something, his expression showing surprise as he stared intently at Luo Tian.

"Planet Namek is in such bad shape, could it be because of you?" Luo Tian asked thoughtfully.

"What's the problem?" Bardock seemed unaware of what was happening on Planet Namek.

"What wishes have come true?" Luo Tian asked.

"It wasn't anything extraordinary. I just asked the Shenron Porunga to grant me 2,000 years of life! That's his limit!" Bardock answered truthfully. "I didn't ask for the other two wishes."

Luo Tian basically understood.

Bardock was able to live so long because Porunga gave him a lifespan of 2,000 years.

In other words, Bardock had 1,000 years left to live.

After all, he has lived for 1,000 years.

"Did you and Broly gain the ability to survive in outer space through the Shenron?" Bardock quickly realized what was going on and asked Luo Tian.

"Yes." Luo Tian nodded in agreement.

"I should have made that wish back then, otherwise I wouldn't have been trapped on this planet for nearly 1,000 years." Bardock's expression grew increasingly heavy, his eyes filled with regret, and he pointed behind him, "You'd better take Broly away quickly! He's no match for me at all!"

However, just as Bardock finished speaking, Broly swiftly took to the air and appeared beside him.

Bardock's expression changed slightly.

How could this guy still stand up after such a heavy attack?

It's even more resilient than I imagined!

"Not bad, you're stronger than I expected," Bardock commented.

"Boom!"

Bardock had barely finished speaking when Broly's body radiated golden light, indicating that he had activated his Super Saiyan transformation.

Upon seeing Broly's transformation, Bardock's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.

However, Bardock quickly came to terms with it.

"No wonder you two didn't look too surprised when I transformed into Super Saiyan," Bardock chuckled. "So this guy can transform into Super Saiyan too!"

"Again." Broly grinned.

"Are you sure you want to continue?" Bardock said with a smile. "You need to understand, my current transformation is called Super Saiyan God. Even if you can become Super Saiyan, there's still a huge gap between you and Super Saiyan God!"

"Then I'll be a little more serious," Broly said calmly.

"In that case, I'll just have to beat you until you admit defeat." Bardock said no more and quickly rushed towards Broly.

"Bang bang bang!"

The two engaged in a fierce battle in the air.

For a time, Broly and Bardock were evenly matched.

One minute later.

"Bang!"

Bardock delivered a heavy punch to Broly's chest.

Broly slapped Bardock across the face with his backhand.

"Bang!"

Broly executed another bicycle kick, sending Bardock crashing to the ground.

Just as Bardock was about to land, his figure swayed slightly and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Bardock appeared directly above Broly and swung his fist down.

"Bang!"

Bardock's fist landed on Broly.

Broly winced slightly and kicked Bardock in the stomach.

Bardock's body flew backward.

As Bardock flew backward, he gathered energy in his hands.

"Boom!"

A crimson flame hurtled straight toward Broly's location.

"Smack!"

Broly slapped the incoming crimson energy away.

"Whoosh!"

Bardock flew up quickly and appeared directly above Broly in an instant, kicking him towards Broly.

Broly sidestepped Bardock's attacking kick.

Immediately afterwards, Broly reached up and grabbed Bardock's ankle.

The next moment, Broly grabbed Bardock's ankle and swooped down from the air, slamming his body heavily onto the ground below.

"Awoo..."

Bardock let out a scream.

"Bang bang bang!"

Broly grabbed Bardock by the ankle and slammed his body back and forth and side to side.
