Turles's Ultra Instinct

"Pseudo-Ultra Instinct!"

That's right, what Turles had just used was indeed Ultra Instinct, though it differed greatly from the method Whis used to teach Son Goku and Vegeta in the original story.

In the original work, the Universe 7 Angel Whis had taught the two of them the Angelic cultivation method—Ultra Instinct—while training them. Son Goku had even utilized Ultra Instinct in his silver-haired form during Dragon Ball Super to battle and eventually defeat Jiren, whose strength had already reached the level of a God of Destruction.

Ultra Instinct, the cultivation method of the Angel race, requires the practitioner to have a calm heart and a mind free of distractions. By separating the body from consciousness, the body's various parts move through conditioned reflexes without the need for conscious thought, thereby achieving ultimate reaction time and speed. It is a "Divine Skill" and a standard ability for the Angel race.

While training in the Gravity Chamber, Turles constantly reverse-engineered the techniques of the Z Fighters from his memories of the original story. He was especially motivated when he realized that some of the concepts from his past life provided important inspiration in this Dragon Ball World. Techniques like the Solar Flare and the Destructo Disc he taught Broly were all reverse-engineered by Turles in this manner.

As for the divine skill that Whis claimed even the God of Destruction Beerus had not fully mastered, Turles naturally wouldn't let it go. However, perhaps due to a gap in strength, Turles hadn't mastered true Ultra Instinct, but he had developed a technique based on his own circumstances:

Pseudo-Ultra Instinct!

Through his own mental simulation training, Turles achieved a state of extreme mental focus, visualizing all combat data within his mental world. He calculated every possible attack trajectory in this mental realm, effectively equipping himself with a supercomputer.

With this "supercomputer," Turles could simulate all of his enemy's attack paths in his mind and then command his body to attack or dodge based on those calculations.

Today was the first time Turles had used this technique in actual combat, and the results seemed quite effective.

"I think I've discovered something."

Dodging Broly's attack once more, a sharp glint flashed in Turles's eyes as if he had realized something.

The state of Pseudo-Ultra Instinct seemed to provide a massive boost to Turles's mental faculties, allowing him to discover something amidst Broly's onslaught.

Turles was in no rush to solve the problem with Broly immediately. Instead, while dodging Broly's attacks, he kept observing Broly's physical condition, sometimes even intentionally getting close to him.

Just like that, Broly continued to launch attacks at Turles, and Turles dodged them perfectly every time. It wasn't that Turles didn't want to attack Broly, but his strikes had no effect on him; the boost Broly received from his Great Ape transformation was simply too immense.

Ten minutes later, after confirming that the severed tail truly had no impact on Broly's transformation, Turles stopped dodging. Instead, he charged toward Broly's attack and, just as he was about to be struck, used the Afterimage Technique.

Four afterimages appeared in four different directions around Broly, confusing his vision. Like Dodoria before him, Broly lacked the ability to sense Ki, so he could only lash out at each afterimage. These were all wasted efforts, however, as Turles had already silently arrived at the site of Broly's severed tail.

Turles extended his right hand, condensed a bolt of energy on his index finger, and tapped it against the wound where the tail had been severed.

Even though it was just a tiny bit of energy, Broly reacted as if he had been dealt a heavy blow. His massive body shuddered, and he let out a shrill roar before falling from the sky toward the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Seeing that his hypothesis was correct, Turles finally breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes rolled back, and he followed Broly down.

When Turles woke up again, he found himself in the Medical Room, submerged in the liquid of a Healing Tank.

Turles wasn't surprised by this. If one were to ask which of the four Saiyans on Red Stone Planet used the Healing Tank most frequently, it would undoubtedly be him.

"Glug, glug!"

Noticing Turles waking up, Karl quickly signaled his clansmen to shut down the system and open the Healing Tank.

Turles stepped out of the Healing Tank and asked Karl, "How many days have passed?"

"My lord, three days have already passed," Karl, who was standing to the side, replied quickly.

"Three days? Not bad. What about Broly?" Turles repeated, then followed up with the question.

"Lord Broly recovered on the very first day. He has been guarding outside the Medical Room. Would you like me to call him over?"

"No need, I'll go find him." Turles began walking toward the door. As he reached the exit, he seemed to recall something, stopped in his tracks, and asked, "Was the tail Broly lost retrieved?"

"The tail?" Karl looked surprised at the mention.

For Saiyans, a severed tail would grow back within a month. Therefore, although losing a tail was rare, Saiyans generally didn't bother to collect them afterward.

Seeing this, Turles immediately ordered, "Send someone to find Broly's tail. Have Raditz lead the team."

"Yes, my lord!" Karl never slacked off when it came to Turles's orders.

Nodding, Turles walked out of the Medical Room; he still had some matters to discuss with Broly.

As soon as he exited the Medical Room, he saw Broly in the hallway. Broly was staring at the door of the Medical Room with a look of worry.

Seeing Turles emerge, Broly immediately became excited. He strode over to Turles and pulled him into a tight embrace.

Caught completely off guard, Turles was stunned by Broly's sudden action and took a long moment to collect himself.

"Broly, I'm fine!"

Patting Broly's arm, Turles comforted him while signaling for him to let go. There was no helping it; Turles simply wasn't as tall as Broly.

After releasing Turles, Broly reverted to that simple-minded youth. A flush appeared on his face as he scratched his hair and said, "Turles, it's good that you're alright!"

"Heh!" Turles chuckled softly, feeling a sense of emotion in his heart. Broly is still that same boy, not changed in the slightest—except, of course, when he's fighting.

"Alright, Broly. This time was just an accident, don't take it to heart." Seeing Broly looking somewhat self-reproachful, Turles spoke up to comfort him. "If I hadn't failed to notify you in advance, you wouldn't have transformed into a Great Ape. This was my fault."

Seeing that Broly was still uneasy, Turles decided to change the subject. "Right, I have some things to discuss with you. In a while, you and Paragus come find me at the laboratory."

The simple-minded Broly was successfully distracted by Turles's words. He asked with some confusion, "Find you with my father? Is there something going on?"

"We'll talk about it later. Go find Paragus first; I'll be waiting for you both at the laboratory."

Turles kept the mystery alive, giving Broly no chance to press for more, and turned to walk toward the laboratory.

As soon as he closed the laboratory door, Turles could no longer hold back. He rubbed his temples repeatedly, feeling as if his brain had been struck by a club. It took quite a while before he finally recovered.

This was the flaw in Turles's pseudo-Ultra Instinct. Although he relied on his extraordinary mental power to materialize various data within his mental world, that data was simply too massive, especially during combat.

Every change in the data required Turles to constantly recalibrate his calculations, all of which relied on his mental energy to sustain. Consequently, using this technique placed immense pressure on his mind; not only could he not maintain it for long, but it also left him with side effects every time.

However, using the Pseudo-Ultra Instinct this time had brought Turles a great surprise. He had not expected that this single technique would allow him, with a combat power of only 100,000, to contend with Broly, who possessed a combat power of 10 million. Although Broly had not been in a state capable of unleashing his full 10 million combat power at the time, and Turles himself could not hold the form for long, it was still a massive boost for him.

Furthermore, the "mechanical rationality" style of thinking inherent in the Pseudo-Ultra Instinct state allowed him to notice details that were difficult to spot in his normal state. This also served as an implicit improvement to his future combat experience.

"It's just that the side effects are a bit much!"

Turles sat in his chair, rubbing his head while pondering how to resolve the side effects of the Pseudo-Ultra Instinct.
