Destructo Disc!
The technique Broly unleashed was none other than the Destructo Disc, a move Turles had reconstructed from Krillin's repertoire. Turles likely never imagined that the move he once taught Broly would one day be used against him; it was truly a boomerang effect.
The rapidly spinning Destructo Disc possessed unparalleled cutting power; even Frieza had been sliced in two by this very technique during his battle with Son Goku on Namek.
Although Turles's sanity had vanished, his primal instincts still allowed him to sense the threat posed by that small, glowing disc.
Turles stomped his feet heavily on the ground, causing the earth to crack and form a massive chasm. His gargantuan body shot into the air, narrowly dodging Broly's Destructo Disc.
After landing, Turles roared at the sky and beat his chest with both fists. He then fixed his red pupils coldly on Broly, his mouth slowly opening as a terrifying surge of energy began to gather within.
Sensing the fluctuations of the energy blast, Broly dared not be careless. He began to utilize his physical agility, flashing repeatedly around Turles's body.
While the Great Ape Transformation granted a Saiyan a tenfold increase in power, its massive size also turned them into a living target. Turles was currently trapped in that very predicament.
Broly tried repeatedly to get close to Turles's tail, but Turles's defense of his tail was unexpectedly tight. Despite his massive frame, his tail remained agile, constantly dodging Broly's attacks.
After another failed attempt, Broly's movements faltered for a split second. Turles, possessing the instincts of a beast, seized the moment. His thick tail, carrying terrifying force, swept directly into Broly and sent him flying.
Broly's body retreated uncontrollably, crashing through the surrounding buildings and leaving a trail of human-shaped holes in his wake.
After passing through a dozen buildings, Broly finally came to a stop. Even for him, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the annoying "fly" struck down, Turles couldn't help but roar again. The beam from his mouth swept across everything in the vicinity, quickly reducing it all to ruins!
"Turles!" Broly couldn't help it anymore and shouted Turles's name at the top of his lungs.
Broly's voice reached Turles's ears. The body that had been wreaking havoc paused for a fleeting moment, and a flicker of struggle flashed through his red pupils before being drowned out by brutality once more!
Although it was only for a brief instant, Broly had seen hope. He charged toward Turles again, calling his name repeatedly in his ear.
The buzzing in his ear made Turles even more irritable. He couldn't help but lash out with a slap. Broly dodged, and the blow landed squarely on Turles's own face.
After taking the slap, Turles seemed stunned by his own hand. The brutality in his eyes slowly faded, leaving only confusion behind.
"Turles!"
Broly didn't notice that the look in Turles's eyes had changed and continued to call his name.
"Alright, Broly! You're giving me a headache with all that noise!" A voice like rolling thunder boomed, making Broly's ears ring.
Broly ignored the discomfort in his ears, looked into Turles's red pupils, and said with pleasant surprise, "Turles, have you recovered?"
"Yeah! I'm back," Turles said, subconsciously lowering his voice, then added with some frustration, "I slapped myself awake!"
Although Turles had lowered his voice, it still sounded like a thunderclap in Broly's ears, so Broly quietly backed away a little.
"Then Turles, can you turn back?" Broly asked, looking up at the giant beast before him.
"I don't know either, let me try first!" Turles said, closing his eyes.
Turles wasn't entirely clear on his current situation himself. Logically, he hadn't been exposed to the full moon, meaning he hadn't been subjected to Blutz Waves, so the issue of a Great Ape Transformation shouldn't have existed. Yet, not only had he successfully transformed into a Great Ape, but he had also managed to maintain his sanity while in that state—even if that sanity had been slapped back into him by his own hand.
After closing his eyes, Turles began to focus on examining the changes in his body. He suddenly discovered that in his Great Ape state, the activity level of his body's cells was ten times higher than in his normal state. This made him realize why Saiyans experienced a tenfold increase in power after transforming.
In the Great Ape Transformation, every cell in his body seemed to contain infinite energy. It not only provided the energy required for his massive body to move but also enhanced his physical constitution from the inside out, affecting both his physical strength and the intensity of his Ki.
Turles was shocked by the immense energy hidden within his body. He suddenly felt that it seemed no Saiyan had truly tapped into the massive energy hidden within their bodies. A simple Great Ape Transformation was not enough to justify calling the Saiyans a warrior race. But if they could guide even a sliver of this hidden energy out, the Saiyans would become the most terrifying race in the entire universe.
Turles continued to explore his body, his mental energy gradually moving toward his tail. He remembered that it was by using his mental energy to constantly stimulate his tail that he had been able to trigger the Great Ape Transformation without a full moon.
Turles carefully extended his mental energy to make contact with his tail. Unexpectedly, the moment they touched, Turles felt as if he were a floodgate being opened; the energy within his body began to pour out continuously, with his tail serving as the exit.
Outside, Turles's body began to slowly shrink. The brown fur covering his body gradually retracted, and his massive, star-like face began to contract, eventually returning to his original appearance.
Having returned to his normal form, Turles stood bare-chested, looking completely exhausted and barely able to support his own weight.
"Broly!" Turles called out to Broly, his voice weak.
This was the first time since he had transmigrated and recovered from his initial severe injuries that Turles had felt so powerless. This feeling, both familiar and strange, left him feeling nostalgic yet somewhat uneasy.
Broly landed and quickly reached out to support Turles, looking at him with concern, having never seen him in such a state before.
Seeing the worry in Broly's eyes, Turles gave a faint smile and said, "Help me back in a moment. Don't worry about anything else. If Bels comes looking, have your father handle it. Don't respond to anything; just wait until I wake up..."
Before he could finish, Turles's head lolled to the side, and he collapsed directly into Broly's arms, falling unconscious.
By the time Turles regained consciousness, he was fully submerged in recovery fluid. The gas he exhaled from his oxygen mask constantly sent bubbles rising through the liquid.
"Glug, glug!"
Hearing the movement, Karl immediately pressed the button to drain the fluid. As the liquid receded, Turles's body was revealed to the others.
Removing the oxygen mask, Turles stepped out of the Healing Tank, naked, and picked up the clothes nearby to put them on.
Once dressed, Turles ignored the curious gazes of those around him and instead carefully sensed the state of his body. A moment later, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although there had been a small accident this time, his body's cells had become even more active, and his Ki had improved slightly. By his estimation, his combat power was now close to 100,000. In Universe 7, he could now be considered a minor expert.
As soon as Turles opened his eyes, Paragus asked eagerly, "How is it? Turles. Why were you able to perform the Great Ape Transformation without a full moon?"
It was no wonder Paragus was so anxious. One had to know that the Saiyan Great Ape Transformation was not only a way to increase combat power but also a means of survival.
On planets without a full moon, Saiyans would typically release an artificial moon to meet the conditions for transformation, but not all Saiyans could master this ability.
If the method Turles used to transform without a full moon could be utilized by all Saiyans, the boost to the Saiyans' strength would be immense. As the future King of the Saiyans, even though he hadn't found many Saiyans yet, Paragus was already beginning to plan for the future.
Turles had no intention of hiding this from him. Although the Great Ape transformation provided a boost in combat power, the limitations after transforming were too great. Turles did not think highly of this ability; if one were to transform, it had to be a Super Saiyan. Not only did it provide a 50-fold increase in power, but more importantly, it looked cool. After all, strength was temporary, but style was eternal. Therefore, Turles told Paragus every detail of his findings and theories.
After listening to Turles's description, Paragus fell into deep thought.
As one of the few intelligent beings among the Saiyans, Paragus possessed a wealth of knowledge far exceeding that of his peers. This was evident from the fact that he was able to create a control device to suppress Broly even while stranded on a desolate planet like Planet Vampa, though he was currently focused entirely on the Gravity Chamber.
Paragus easily drew a conclusion from Turles's findings: this method was not applicable to all Saiyans. First and foremost, the requirement for mental strength would block the vast majority of them.
Seeing that Paragus looked somewhat disappointed, Turles asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Paragus explained the issue he had discovered and filled Turles in on some data he had researched back in the day.
It turned out that when they were on Planet Vegeta, Paragus had joined a research department called the "Saiyan Rise Project," which had been established just after King Vegeta ascended to the throne.
King Vegeta was worthy of his status as a monarch at the time. As soon as he took power, he gathered the few researchers among the Saiyans to form this department. Its goal was to use technological means to improve the Saiyans' base combat power so that they would have higher strength after their Great Ape Transformation. They even proposed a "Great Ape Legion" plan to resist Frieza's rule.
It was during that time that Paragus was drawn to King Vegeta's charisma and joined the research department. He quickly demonstrated outstanding scientific talent, which was why Paragus was so clear on all the various data regarding Saiyans.
