The Abnormal Broly

"Broly can actually fly even after losing his mind during the transformation? How is this possible!"

Turles whispered to himself, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Suddenly, Turles's expression shifted, and his body immediately lunged toward the ground.

As Turles continued to descend, his massive body began to shrink. Before he even reached the ground, he had completely reverted from his Great Ape form back to his human shape; his time limit for the Great Ape Transformation had run out.

The moment his feet touched the ground, Turles stumbled, nearly collapsing flat on his face.

Turles steadied himself against a nearby rock and couldn't help but grumble, "The amount of stamina the Great Ape Transformation consumes is just too much!"

After his complaint, Turles immediately hid beneath a massive boulder and suppressed his energy. He was effectively a spent force now; if Broly found him, a single slap would turn him into a puddle of meat.

"ROAR!"

Broly's body appeared above the spot where Turles was hiding. Having lost sight of Turles, Broly seemed enraged, firing energy blasts from his mouth and once again beginning to destroy everything in his path.

Enduring the pain of being pelted by falling debris, Turles grimaced and became even more cautious, terrified of making the slightest sound.

"Ten minutes at most. Just hold on for ten more minutes!" Turles counted the time silently in his heart.

Without the continuous radiation of Blutz Waves, a Great Ape Transformation could only be maintained for about half an hour. Once it ended, the user would fall into a weakened state, or even pass out, just as Turles had. Right now, he was simply waiting for Broly's transformation to end.

Fortunately, the moment Turles saw Broly transform, he had made a split-second decision to detonate the Artificial Moon. While this forced his own transformation to end early, it also meant that Broly's transformation would end shortly after his own.

While counting down the time in his heart, Turles kept a close eye on Broly's transformation from the corner of his vision.

Turles had attempted this to try and master the Great Ape Power. Although he had the data from the experiments with Raditz, Broly was different.

As the Legendary Super Saiyan who only appeared once every millennium among the Saiyan race, Broly's strength growth far exceeded that of an ordinary Saiyan. Even his Great Ape Transformation was unlike others; he seemed more attuned to the Great Ape Power, and the strength he drew from his tail was far greater than that of Raditz or Turles.

Coupled with the fact that Broly could infinitely increase his combat power in his base form as long as his body could keep up, Turles couldn't help but have certain ambitions.

After observing carefully for a moment, Turles felt a bit disappointed, as he couldn't discern how Broly was drawing out such superior Great Ape Power.

It seems I'll have to get closer. Ideally, I'd need to probe into Broly's body with my psychic power just like Raditz did to get any useful information.

Turles secretly contemplated this suicidal course of action, though his body remained perfectly still.

"Hm? What is this...?" Turles let out a cry of surprise, staring dumbfounded at the tail that had suddenly appeared right in front of him.

He had just been thinking about getting a closer look, so why had Broly sent his tail over? What was this? Was it a case of not knowing whether an accident or a surprise would come first?

The tail was very close to Turles, swaying right before his eyes. It seemed as though he only needed to reach out his hand to grasp it.

And that was exactly what Turles did. By the time he snapped out of his daze, he was already clutching Broly's tail, absentmindedly stroking it with his hand.

To be honest, the texture really wasn't great! The fur was a bit coarse, feeling just like steel needles! As this irreverent thought crossed Turles's mind, his body was involuntarily dragged forward, and he instinctively gripped the tail in his hand.

Flying through the air, Turles locked eyes directly with Broly's red pupils. Before he could even react, a palm slammed into his body.

"Pfft!"

Spitting out a spray of blood, Turles flew off like a cannonball. His body tore through rocks and mountains along the way before slamming heavily into the ground, creating a massive crater.

"Cough, cough!"

Unable to stop himself from coughing up more blood, Turles looked at the severed tail in his hand and smiled.

As it turned out, the moment Broly struck him, Turles had exerted force with both hands, using the momentum to rip off Broly's tail. This had weakened the force of the blow just enough to keep him from being smashed into a smear of gore.

Watching Broly roar incessantly in mid-air from the pain of his severed tail, Turles thought to himself, My life is saved.

But the next moment, the smile that had just appeared on Turles's face froze. He stared at Broly in the distance in disbelief.

"This is impossible, how can this be?"

It turned out that Broly hadn't reverted from his transformation as Turles had expected after losing his tail. He remained in his Great Ape Transformation. Not only that, but because his tail had been ripped off, Broly was now staring at him with eyes full of murderous intent.

Turles regained his senses, looked at the severed tail in his hand, then looked up at Broly, and shook his head with a bitter smile.

No one would have guessed that Broly's transformation wouldn't just be unaffected by the loss of his tail, but that he also lacked the limitation of reverting thirty minutes after the loss of Blutz Wave exposure that other Saiyans faced.

This was, to say the least, a massive blow to Turles.

In truth, although Turles had repeatedly warned himself that the Dragon Ball World was not simple, as his strength grew, he couldn't help but feel a bit smug. Especially after his last transformation boosted his combat power to 100,000, he had developed an irrepressible sense of contempt for the characters from the original story.

And now, because of his lack of understanding of Broly, the Legendary Super Saiyan, he might just pay with his life.

"Looks like I have no choice but to go all out!" Turles whispered.

Turles struggled to stand up from the crater, assumed a fighting stance, and focused his gaze on the charging Broly.

Turles widened his eyes, his mind highly concentrated, carefully sensing Broly's terrifying combat power, which exceeded 10 million.

At this moment, within his mental world, Turles was constantly constructing all the data he had collected: temperature, humidity, oxygen levels, and the strong winds brought about by Broly's charge. Everything was gradually manifesting within his mind.

Broly's fist carried terrifying pressure. Just by nearing him, it had already pushed all the air around Turles away, creating a vacuum.

Turles held his breath, keeping his body still. Just as Broly's fist was about to touch his skin, he shifted his body slightly, dodging the strike by the narrowest of margins and leaving behind trails of afterimages.

Broly's massive fist missed and struck the crater Turles had just created.

A shockwave spread from the center of the crater, kicking up debris and causing cracks to spread, forever altering the landscape.

When everything finally settled, all that remained was a crater with a radius of 10 kilometers, the center of which was bottomless.

Turles had already flashed behind Broly. All expression had vanished from his face, replaced by an extreme, cold indifference. His lips moved slightly, and a voice devoid of any emotion rang out:

"Pseudo-Ultra Instinct!"
