Cooler vs. Broly

In the vastness of space, a verdant green light soared through the cosmos. Even an astronomer would likely struggle to detect its presence, for its speed had long since surpassed that of light itself.

Within this radiance was a man with a tall, upright stature and muscles that rippled across his entire body.

He wore a pair of golden wristbands, sported a black, pineapple-shaped hairstyle, and possessed a cold, indifferent face that exuded an icy aura from every pore.

This person was none other than the legendary Super Saiyan, Broly.

The terrifying pressure radiating from Broly's entire being served as a testament to his ruthlessness and immense power.

If Gamos were to see this, he would undoubtedly exclaim, "Holy crap, it's the original Broly."

At this moment, Broly felt restless. A sense of agitation gnawed at him—an indescribable, murky feeling, much like a high-and-mighty emperor suddenly learning that another monarch existed who could threaten his throne.

It was this very sensation that ignited his boundless fury, driving him to shatter the shackles his father had placed upon him and retaliate with a blast of energy, playing the part of a most unfilial son.

Compared to the "daddy's boy" from the new version, the original Broly was far more cold-blooded and ruthless; he was, for all intents and purposes, a frigid killing machine.

As Cooler's Crab Spaceship streaked through the universe like a shooting star, Broly, who was mid-flight, instantly sensed that aura.

"A master is here. Hahaha! Finally, someone worth fighting."

Having destroyed so many planets, Broly had yet to find a single opponent capable of standing against him, leaving him profoundly lonely.

Now, from that ship, he sensed a threat—a lethal, genuine threat.

And this, precisely, stirred his desire for battle.

"Hahaha, ahahaha!"

Broly wore a ferocious grin as he backhanded a wave of energy, firing it directly toward the Crab Spaceship.

Rumble—the ship, which had been traveling at high speed, was suddenly struck and blossomed into a firework in the depths of space.

The soldiers piloting the vessel didn't even have time to scream before they were swallowed by the explosion.

At the very moment the ship detonated, the three Coolers quickly condensed a protective barrier, shielding themselves within it.

As the ship disintegrated, a pink light shot out. Seeing the culprit who had ambushed him, Cooler retaliated in a rage with a Death Beam.

Facing Cooler's Death Beam, Broly didn't even dodge, letting it strike his body.

With a whoosh, the Death Beam hit Broly's chest and dissipated into mere specks of light, failing to cause him a single shred of damage.

"Interesting. I can feel your strength. Come, let me see your power. If you satisfy me, I might show mercy and send you to hell a little faster."

Faced with such provocation, Cooler was incensed. He was the dignified Emperor of the Universe, the one who managed the real estate of the East Galaxy—who dared speak to him like this?

Especially when he saw the tail behind the man—wasn't this just a Saiyan? Saiyans were nothing but dogs under Frieza's command. For one to dare challenge his elder brother like this... he clearly didn't know how to write the word "death."

A furious Cooler threw a punch, his powerful attack landing squarely on the other's chest, yet Broly didn't react in the slightest.

"It seems you didn't take my words to heart!"

Broly countered with a punch of his own, striking Cooler directly in the abdomen. The force of the blow caused Cooler to double over like a shrimp, vomiting saliva in agony.

"Ahhh, you're courting death!"

The Saiyan before him was clearly no ordinary one; he had to kill him.

Cooler let out a loud roar, golden flames engulfing his entire body as Golden Cooler made his entrance.

"Not bad, not bad. Now this is more like it."

Broly also let out a roar, his body wrapped in verdant green light as he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

But he didn't stop there. Broly's stature began to climb, shooting from one point eight meters to three meters tall, his surging muscles giving off an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Cooler's eyes widened as he watched the transformation. A moment ago they were the same height, and now the man had turned into a green giant—wasn't this bullying?

However, the incredibly brave Cooler didn't hold the opponent in any regard and charged straight at him.

After a flurry of punches and kicks, Broly simply stood there, dodging with his upper body while his feet remained rooted to the spot, effortlessly evading every single attack.

The next second, Broly grabbed the opponent's arm and hurled him aside with brute force, smashing him into a massive meteorite.

Cooler let out a miserable cry; he never expected the man's strength to be so immense.

Broly didn't stop, launching into a Hulk Smash. He grabbed Cooler by the tail and swung him wildly, repeatedly slamming him into the surrounding rocks.

With a series of boom, boom, boom sounds, Cooler was battered into a daze. In a moment of desperation, he had no choice but to sever his own tail to escape.

Yet, the moment Cooler broke free, Broly backhanded a green energy wave at him, followed by another thunderous explosion.

As the dust settled, Cooler's body remained unscathed, and even his severed tail had already grown back.

"Truly powerful. I never expected such a formidable existence to emerge from the lowly Saiyans."

Cooler twisted his neck, his expression grave.

He had only been testing the waters, yet he hadn't expected to be caught in an opening and subjected to a combo that left him with no room to fight back.

He should have used his full strength from the start.

Seeing this, Broly wasn't surprised. While he had been brutally thrashing the other man, he could tell that his opponent hadn't been using his full power.

"Finally getting serious?"

Cooler let out a loud shout, clenching his fists at his waist. The golden flames grew more violent; the bracers on his arms began to extend backward, the armor on his shoulders shifted and spread across his entire chest, and protective gear began to manifest on his head, extending into four horns. Finally, a mask covered Cooler's face, leaving only a pair of scarlet eyes exposed.

Ultimate Golden Cooler!

"Damn savage monkey, you will learn exactly how miserable the consequences of offending Lord Cooler truly are."

Cooler launched another assault, kicking Broly away with a single strike. Broly transformed into a streak of light, smashing through countless meteorites before he could barely come to a halt.

Before he could even catch his breath, Cooler used Instant Transmission to flash directly in front of him, slamming a heavy punch into his face.

Left fist, right fist, left fist, right fist—countless blows rained down like a torrential downpour.

"Now you know my power! A mere ant like you dares to dream of contending with this seat."

Just as Cooler was still gloating, his next punch was caught directly in Broly's hand.

"Very good. You've finally got my blood boiling."

Looking at Broly's savage grin, for some reason, Cooler felt a chill run down his spine.
