Broly's figure was agile and imposing, green aura dancing wildly around him like ghostfire. His muscles were taut, every line packed with explosive power, and his eyes flashed with a wild, untamed light.
He looked at Kefla, then stomped hard on the ground. The earth trembled, and his figure vanished from where he stood.
Kefla's eyes flew wide open. Her nerves instantly tightened as she entered a state of alert. Energy surged up around her like raging waves, forming a dazzling halo of light.
But at that very moment, Broly's lightning-fast figure had already moved above Kefla in the blink of an eye. Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his right arm, bringing down a heavy punch wrapped in dense green light with the force of a mountain crushing an egg.
The attack was so swift that Kefla had no time to think of a countermeasure. By instinct, she crossed her arms in front of her and used her sturdy forearms to take the thunderous blow head-on.
There was a massive bang, as if the entire world had trembled.
The shockwave from the collision between fist and arms swept out in every direction like a raging hurricane.
Under the impact of that terrifying energy, the arena floor was forcibly crushed into a pit over a dozen meters deep. Hideous cracks spread outward rapidly like a spiderweb.
Kefla was sent sliding backward at high speed like a cannonball, using the force of the impact to retreat.
Her feet plowed two deep trenches through the solid ground, kicking up dust that filled the sky. Only after being pushed back several hundred meters did she finally manage to steady herself.
Although she had successfully blocked Broly's punch, Kefla still felt an unprecedented pressure and searing pain spread through her entire body.
She clenched her teeth tightly and thought to herself, This Saiyan from Universe 7 really is extraordinary. His strength is simply beyond imagination!
However, Kefla was not the kind of person who would easily admit defeat or back down.
She suddenly let out a clear, ringing shout, spread both arms, and red energy gradually condensed in her palms into energy blasts, each flickering with red and green light.
When enough of those energy blasts had gathered, Kefla swung her arm hard and fired them all toward Broly. In an instant, the energy blasts turned into streaks of light, tearing across the sky with a world-destroying might.
Wherever they passed, even the surrounding space twisted.
"Try this—ha! Crushing Energy Blast!" Kefla roared angrily.
When Broly saw this, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, forming a wild and unrestrained smile.
He took a deep breath, and green aura erupted from his whole body. Just as those energy blasts were about to strike him, Broly suddenly clenched both fists. The muscles in his arms bulged in an instant, veins popping out, as if they had been forged from steel.
Immediately after, he threw several heavy punches in succession at the incoming energy blasts without hesitation.
Every punch contained the power to destroy heaven and earth. When they collided with the energy blasts, dazzling light burst forth, and the entire space seemed to tremble.
Those seemingly indestructible energy blasts were actually smashed apart from the middle under Broly's iron fists like fragile glass. They shattered into countless tiny fragments of energy, like brilliant fireworks blooming in the night sky, then gradually faded into nothingness.
"H-how is that possible!" Kefla witnessed the scene and could not help widening her eyes, her eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets, her face filled with disbelief.
However, before Kefla could recover from her shock, Broly had already launched another attack.
At that moment, he was like a maddened bull, his entire body radiating endless ferocity. He charged forward with great strides, his speed like lightning tearing across the night sky, stirring up a sharp gust of wind.
As he drew closer, a series of lightning-fast fists lashed out as densely as raindrops. Every punch carried terrifying power, and the howling fist winds even ripped the surrounding air apart, forming visible vortices of airflow.
Facing Broly's storm-like barrage of fierce attacks, Kefla could only do everything she could to block. Her figure flickered unsteadily, leaving behind one blurry afterimage after another as she tried to avoid his deadly blows.
Although Kefla's reactions were already quick enough, before Broly's ferocious offensive, she still seemed somewhat overwhelmed. From time to time, several punches grazed her body, bringing waves of piercing pain that quickly spread through her entire body and made her movements begin to slow.
Kefla's gaze sharpened. In the instant she dodged one of Broly's uppercuts, she found an opening and swiftly circled behind him. She pressed her palms together, gathered energy into them, and formed a dazzling red-green beam of light, firing it at Broly's back.
The beam was extremely fast and enormously powerful. It was one of Kefla's ultimate techniques, named Heavy Impact.
Broly sensed the danger behind him, but he did not panic. He simply used his body to take the attack head-on.
His muscles tensed all over as the green aura and the red-green beam collided and intertwined, giving off crackling sounds. For a moment, they were actually locked in a stalemate.
Seeing this, Kefla increased her energy output.
But Broly suddenly let out a furious roar, and the power in his whole body erupted once more. He actually pushed that beam back little by little.
"Nani!!!"
Kefla was shocked. The beam that had been pushed back instantly swallowed her, and the powerful energy wave sent her flying. She slammed heavily into the arena, smashing a deep pit into the ground as broken stones sprayed everywhere.
"Hmph!" Broly snorted coldly and patted the spot on his shoulder where the beam had burned him. Although it hurt somewhat, to him, it was nothing more than a superficial wound.
He looked at Kefla lying in the distance and did not immediately press his advantage. Instead, he stood where he was, the green aura on his body blazing fiercely, as if declaring his strength and invincibility to the entire World of Void.
Kefla climbed up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"You really are strong, but I won't be defeated like this!"
She shouted loudly. Her body began to tremble slightly, and energy surged wildly through her whole body. This time, the energy fluctuations were even more violent than before. The entire arena was shrouded by that powerful energy, with fierce winds howling and sand and stones flying.
Broly frowned slightly. Feeling the energy aura on Kefla's body continuing to climb, he could not help becoming vigilant as well.
"This guy really is stubborn!" Broly muttered under his breath.
Kefla raised both hands high above her head, and a massive energy ball slowly formed between them.
The color of the energy ball changed constantly, shifting from red to red-green, before finally turning into an almost black dark red. Threads of lightning coiled around it, and the powerful energy fluctuations made space itself unstable, as if it might collapse at any moment.
"This is my final trump card. Take this! Gigantic Crushing Ball."
Kefla roared, using all the strength in her body to hurl the massive energy ball toward Broly. As the energy ball flew, it continued to grow larger. Wherever it passed, layer after layer of earth and stone was torn up from the ground, forming a huge trench, and the entire World of Void was shaken by that power.
Broly looked at the gigantic energy ball rushing toward him and took a deep breath. He also raised both hands high, and energy quickly gathered, forming a huge energy blast.
"Planet Crusher!"
Broly also hurled the enormous green energy blast out.
The instant that black, dark-red energy sphere collided with the green energy blast, the entire world seemed to fall into silence. Then came a deafening explosion.
Brilliant light instantly lit up the entire World of Void. A massive shockwave spread outward from the two fighters at its center, sweeping quite a few weaker contestants off the stage.
The chaotic sky of the World of Void was torn open by rifts from that explosive energy.
As the light gradually faded, Broly was revealed kneeling on one knee, both hands braced against the ground as he gasped heavily for breath.
It was clear that Broly had still come out on top.
Kefla, meanwhile, had exhausted her ki and lost her fusion, then was eliminated by the explosion.
Champa glanced at Caulifla and Kale and said, "You did well."
The sisters remained silent.
On the stage, the contestants who had survived the impact just now were all true experts.
So next came the battle between those experts and the fighters who had been hiding their strength.
