I Miscalculated Before, I Only Used One Ten Millionth of My Strength

"Broly, did you really defeat King Piccolo?" Yamcha finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and shock, leaning in a bit as he watched Broly wolf down the steaming-hot dumplings Launch had just cooked for him, asking cautiously.

"Didn't I already say that?" Broly swallowed a plump dumpling, took a sip of soup, his face as calm as ever, as if talking about something as mundane as eating and drinking. "Just kill him straight up, right? Why make it so complicated with the Evil Containment Wave and a Rice Cooker?"

At that moment, Broly's tone even carried a hint of confusion at Master Roshi's earlier convoluted approach.

Hearing Broly's offhand reply, everyone was momentarily speechless, at a loss for words.

Thinking back, Broly had indeed said something similar before they set out, but back then everyone thought he was either joking or just didn't know his limits.

Who knew... Broly was serious, and actually had the ability to pull it off!

Then, under Master Roshi's vivid, spit-flying narration, he embellished the tale of how Broly struck like thunder, casually pinned King Piccolo's head down, swatted him like a fly, and finally smashed the spaceship with King Piccolo's corpse.

Of course, the embarrassing part where Master Roshi himself got shoved head-first into the ground by Broly in a panic was naturally and lightly glossed over, focusing only on Broly's heroic prowess and his own pride as a mentor.

After hearing Master Roshi's highly visual description, everyone sighed in amazement again, their gazes at Broly growing more complex—filled with awe, disbelief, and a hint of reverence—praising him endlessly.

"Broly, you're something else!" Krillin mustered his courage, stepped up with a grin, and punched Broly's shoulder, then winced and shook his hand, his face showing admiration. "Never thought you were hiding this much! Usually keeping a low profile, but when it counts, you're a beast!"

"I wasn't hiding," Broly swallowed the food in his mouth, looked up, and gave Krillin a simple, honest smile, correcting him. "I just don't like training; I find it boring. But that doesn't mean I'm weak."

Broly's logic was simple and direct, as if strength was an innate state that required no effort.

"But speaking of which, when you fought King Piccolo, you must have gone all out, right? I mean, that's the legendary demon king!" Yamcha laughed, picking up the thread, trying to gauge Broly's upper limit.

In Yamcha's imagination, it must have been an earth-shattering, grueling battle.

Master Roshi, overhearing this, immediately covered his face in pain and turned his head away, unable to watch.

Same words... same question... I asked that too!

Kid, you're still too young...

I advise you not to ask this question!

Otherwise, Broly will start spouting that infuriating bragging theory again!

Sure enough, Broly stopped chewing, earnestly scratched his thick black hair as if carefully recalling and calculating, then answered very honestly, "No, I only used... um... about one ten-millionth of my power."

Master Roshi: "..."

Master Roshi felt his blood pressure spike instantly; he really couldn't listen anymore.

That's not the number you told me before!

You swore earlier it was one-tenth of one ten-thousandth of your power!

It hasn't even been half a day, and it's shrunk to one ten-millionth?!

How is it getting more ridiculous?

Did a gym teacher teach you math?!

Uh, actually, I taught him...

"Cough... cough cough..." Master Roshi choked on his own saliva, coughed heavily and pointedly, while frantically winking at Broly.

Master Roshi was really afraid that if Broly kept bragging, next time it would become "one billionth."

Blow it too big, and you'll get struck by lightning!

"Old man, what I said to you earlier seems off," Broly said, seeing Master Roshi's exaggerated expression as if understanding his meaning, but still looking serious with a hint of self-reflection. "Because I've never been good at math; I always mess up calculations. On the way back, I had nothing to do and recalculated carefully. I feel like using one ten-millionth of my power against that level of opponent is more scientifically accurate."

Master Roshi: "..."

Master Roshi gave up completely, feeling exhausted and not wanting to say a single word.

The next moment, Master Roshi silently walked to a corner, grabbed a glass of water, and downed it in one gulp to douse the raging flames of complaint in his heart.

Krillin, listening to this absurd conversation, kept wiping actual and imaginary cold sweat from his forehead, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

Broly, my good buddy, can you not brag so seriously?

If you said you used one percent, or even ten percent of your power, we might barely believe it!

One ten-millionth?!

What kind of concept is that?!

This bragging has broken through the atmosphere and gone straight into outer space!

"Really? Broly, you're amazing! One ten-millionth of your power is this strong!" Launch clasped her hands together at her chest, her big blue eyes sparkling with utter admiration and trust, as if she were looking at the world's greatest hero, stars practically popping out of her eyes, believing Broly's words without a doubt.

It seemed only Launch believed him unconditionally.

Seeing Launch's utterly adoring expression, Yamcha was caught between laughter and tears, filled with helplessness.

It's over... Launch has completely fallen, becoming Broly's most loyal fangirl!

Even such a blatantly physics-defying, energy-conservation-breaking statement you believe?

Love really does make people blind!

"Grandpa," Son Goku didn't join the discussion about Broly's power, turning his head with excitement and anticipation, saying to Master Roshi, "Master Korin said that Kami wants to see me."

"You... what did you say?" Master Roshi was still lost in reflection over his failed math teaching, but at this, he froze for a moment, then his face showed extreme shock, his eyes bulging wide, his voice rising an octave. "K... Kami?! The great Kami who resides in the Sacred Realm?!"

"Master Korin said so, though I'm still not really sure what's going on." Son Goku scratched his head and grinned.

"Then you should go! You have to go! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Master Roshi snapped out of it and nodded vigorously, his face flushing red with excitement as he slapped Goku's shoulders rapidly. "If you can train under Kami and get his guidance, your strength will skyrocket from now on!!"

He paused.

"And take Broly with you!" Master Roshi added.

"No!" Broly refused without a second thought.

Master Roshi: "..."
