Broly slowly stood up, grabbed Cooler's right hand with his left, and hoisted him directly into the air.

"Let go!"

Cooler threw another punch, but Broly caught that hand as well, immediately following up with a heavy knee strike that slammed straight into Cooler's abdomen.

Cooler felt as if he heard the sound of his own ribs snapping; he let out a miserable shriek, his entire body arching like a shrimp in agony.

Releasing his grip, Broly followed up with an elbow strike that smashed into the back of Cooler's neck, sending him crashing through the meteorite beneath his feet and flying off into the distance.

"Hahaha! Exhilarating."

Broly crossed his arms over his chest and suddenly erupted with energy. His aura climbed once more, lightning crackled around him, and his hair stood even more rigidly upright.

Super Saiyan 2, green version.

Only at this moment did Cooler finally realize the gap between them; the opponent's strength seemed a bit too overwhelming.

However, how could Cooler, with his cockroach-like tenacity, ever give up?

Driven to a corner, Cooler finally unleashed his ultimate technique. He extended two fingers, and a massive, fiery-red energy sphere manifested.

It was that planet-destroying skill again: Supernova.

"Go to hell!"

Cooler roared in fury and hurled the massive fireball, intending to destroy his opponent just as he would a planet.

On the other side, the crazed Broly charged straight forward, his entire body encased in a green protective barrier, and actually dove headlong into the incoming fireball.

"What?"

Before Cooler could even react, Broly had already burst through. He condensed a green energy sphere in his hand and, upon reaching Cooler, slammed it directly into his chest.

This palm strike carried immense impact, sending Cooler flying backward. The energy sphere remained pressed against his chest until it reached a distance, where it detonated instantly.

With a thunderous boom, Cooler's aura vanished.

Having dealt with his opponent, Broly intended to leave to seek out his next target or another planet to destroy.

But just as he was about to depart, a figure suddenly appeared before him.

Broly was stunned; the person who had appeared before him in an instant was none other than the Cooler he had just obliterated.

But unlike before, this Cooler was wearing a small vest, and his aura was significantly more substantial.

"How could you still be alive?"

Cooler did not answer, instead landing a heavy punch directly into Broly's abdomen. Broly suffered a brutal blow, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and was sent flying once again.

"Saiyan monkey, I shouldn't have let you live back then. To think an existence like you would appear."

Cooler's voice was layered, sounding as if two people were speaking in unison.

Indeed, the Cooler who had appeared here was actually a fused warrior, one created through the Metamoran Fusion Dance.

The moment the first Cooler was destroyed, the remaining two had already quietly begun their fusion.

"See that? This is my power. You will die today."

Cooler attacked again, slamming a fist hard into his opponent's face. Broly felt the pain, spun 360 degrees in place, and crashed heavily into a distant meteorite.

Cooler flexed his wrists, producing a crisp cracking sound.

Looking at the severely injured Broly, Cooler intended to end the fight. He pointed both hands at his opponent, condensed a red energy wave, and shouted as a red beam of energy erupted forth.

Sensing a fatal threat, Broly did not panic. Instead, he mobilized his power once more; the moment when life is threatened is often the moment when potential is best ignited.

Broly extended his hands, attempting to block the attack, but was forcibly blown away by the sheer force of the shockwave.

"Aaaah!"

With a roar, Broly's muscles expanded once more, and the green light around his body became dazzling again.

As the explosion cleared, Broly's figure appeared once more. Cooler frowned, seeing that the person before him had not been reduced to dust by his beam.

"Still not dead?"

As the smoke and dust dissipated, a three-meter-tall muscular man with long, waist-length green hair emerged.

At this moment, Broly's eyebrows had vanished, his face had become even more ferocious, and his aura had turned truly terrifying.

Super Saiyan 3!

Feeling the surging power within his body, Broly gave a savage grin. In that life-or-death moment, he had finally broken through.

To celebrate his breakthrough, and to thank his opponent for the contribution, Broly decided to use him as a sacrifice to the heavens!

Feeling the pressure radiating from his opponent, Gogeta involuntarily took a step back.

However, in the next second, Broly's figure appeared instantly before him. A fist the size of a sandbag slammed into his face, and before Cooler could even scream, he was sent flying.

Broly lunged forward again, grabbed his opponent's tail, condensed a green energy wave in his right hand, and blasted it directly at him.

Rumble—Cooler was tossed aside carelessly by Broly. By now, Cooler had lost half his body, his aura had become extremely unstable, and he looked as if he were on the verge of death.

"Damned Saiyan."

Cooler let out an angry hiss. Golden threads appeared across his body, and as these threads began to intertwine, they quickly began to repair his mangled form.

"Oh? You can still regenerate?"

Broly intended to dismantle his opponent completely to see if he could still recover.

Seemingly sensing the threat, Cooler immediately utilized Instant Transmission to appear behind him. He condensed energy in his hand, forming it into a spinning disc of light, and slashed it down fiercely toward his opponent.

Ace's ultimate move, Light Saw Man, die for me!

The crimson disc of light slammed down hard onto Broly, yet the moment it made contact, it shattered into specks of light and simply disintegrated.

Cooler's eyes widened. In that moment, he finally felt fear and attempted to use Instant Transmission to escape, but it was too late.

Broly's tail seemed to have eyes of its own; it instantly coiled around Cooler's leg, and he followed up with a backhanded elbow strike.

"Aaaah!"

As Cooler shrieked in agony, Broly spun around, opened his mouth wide, and unleashed a point-blank energy blast. The beam of light surged to the edge of the horizon, obliterating Cooler's upper body.

Kicking the remaining lower half aside, Broly watched as the torso writhed on the ground and began to regenerate.

First, countless golden threads appeared, weaving together until the regeneration was complete.

By the time Cooler had fully regenerated, he was completely drained.

The attack he had just suffered from Broly had cost him half his life, and repairing his body had consumed a massive amount of energy.

The golden light faded, and his golden skin reverted to its original state, returning to his initial white form.

With a flash of light, Cooler split into two, becoming two separate entities. The two Coolers exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, We're finished.
