Legendary Super Saiyan Bloodline

At that critical moment, Broly showed no intention of retreating. Instead, he threw his arms wide open and faced the oncoming Kamehameha and energy sphere as if he intended to embrace them both! The muscles all over his body bulged, veins stood out, and wild fighting spirit burned in his eyes. Like an enraged ancient beast, he seemed ready to tear apart every threat before him!

Paragus's face instantly turned deathly pale, his pupils contracting sharply in terror. He screamed at the top of his lungs, "Broly! Get out of the way! That attack is fatal!" However, Broly was already ruled by his violent instincts, with not a trace of reason left. Not only did he refuse to back down, he thrust both palms forward and directly met the two destructive energies!

The instant they made contact, Broly's body seemed to bear the weight of ten thousand tons. The ground beneath his feet shattered with a crash, sending rubble flying! His legs sank deep into the earth like iron stakes, while spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread out from beneath him. The air filled with a scorched smell, and the blinding light produced by the collision of energies made him look like a blood-soaked god of war!

"Roar—!"

Broly threw back his head and let out an ear-splitting roar. The energy aura around him erupted skyward like a volcano, and golden-green light stained the entire sky in eerie yet magnificent colors! Airwaves surged and dust billowed as the ground beneath his feet continued to collapse under the impact of the energy, forming an ever-deepening crater.

However, the destructive power contained within the Kamehameha and energy sphere was simply too terrifying! Just as Broly tried to resist through brute force, the two energies surged like a pair of roaring dragons and instantly swallowed him whole! Blinding white light devoured everything. Broly's figure gradually twisted and dispersed within the torrent of energy, finally turning into countless motes of light and vanishing without a trace!

A deathly silence fell over heaven and earth, broken only by the shriek of lingering energy aftershocks in the air. Paragus stood frozen in place, his eyes vacant, as though even his breathing had stopped.

A few breaths later—

"Rumble—!!!"

A heaven-shaking explosion tore through the silence! Centered on the place where Broly had once stood, a world-destroying blast erupted! A blazing fireball shot into the sky, while a violent shockwave swept outward like a tsunami! The entire New Vegeta Planet trembled violently, and the surface was instantly covered in dense cracks like shattered glass!

Magma surged madly from beneath the ground, crimson pillars of fire shooting straight into the clouds and dyeing the sky an apocalyptic blood-red! Thick smoke rolled through the air, heat waves struck head-on, and the atmosphere reeked of sulfur and scorched earth. The place where Broly had stood had now become a bottomless crater. Its walls were charred black, and rubble constantly rolled down its edges with spine-chilling sounds. The bottom was black as ink, as though it led directly into the abyss of hell. Occasionally, dark red glimmers flashed deep within, like the gaze of demons.

Paragus staggered backward, staring at the scene of destruction before him. His face was filled with despair and disbelief.

At the same time, a searing burst of heat suddenly erupted from the cracks of the massive crater. A pillar of crimson magma shot into the sky like an enraged fire dragon, tearing apart the dim heavens. The churning magma flung out countless blazing sparks, instantly melting the surrounding rocks. The air was thick with the pungent smell of sulfur and burning. The earth shook violently, cracks spreading like a spiderweb, as though the entire planet were groaning in despair.

Tang Yangbing stood not far away, sweat soaking his clothes. Looking at the devastation before him, he could not help feeling relieved to have survived the disaster. Taking a deep breath, he pulled a crystal-clear Senzu Bean from his pocket and gently placed it in his mouth. It melted instantly, and cool energy rapidly spread throughout his body. His exhaustion and injuries receded like a tide, and his strength was restored in an instant.

"Let's go, Son Goku. The mission is complete. This planet is about to explode!" Tang Yangbing's voice was calm yet resolute as his gaze swept over the constantly collapsing ground around them. He casually tossed out a Senzu Bean, which landed precisely in Son Goku's hand. Son Goku was covered in injuries and blood, his clothes torn to rags. Clearly, he had paid a considerable price in the previous battle.

"Oh, it's over just like that? Then what about him?" Son Goku caught the Senzu Bean and chewed as he pointed toward Paragus in the distance. Paragus stood amid the wreckage, his eyes sinister and a reluctant sneer hanging from the corner of his lips, as if he were plotting something.

"Easy." Tang Yangbing snorted coldly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He raised his right hand, and blinding red light gathered at his fingertip. The energy buzzed in the air like the whisper of death.

"Death Beam!"

"Whoosh!"

A scarlet beam shot out like lightning and instantly pierced Paragus through the chest. Paragus's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. His body slowly fell, blood pouring from the wound and staining the ground beneath him red.

"Tang Yangbing, why did you kill him?" Son Goku frowned deeply, his voice filled with obvious dissatisfaction and confusion. He clenched his fists, his gaze shifting back and forth between Tang Yangbing and Paragus's corpse.

"What do you think he was here for?" Tang Yangbing turned around, his gaze sharp as a blade. "He wanted to rule the universe, just like Frieza! Were you going to save him?" His voice carried unquestionable resolve, as though reminding Son Goku that an even greater threat lay hidden behind this battle.

The surroundings grew ever more tragic. Magma raged like a flood, the sky was dyed blood-red, and explosions thundered one after another, as if the entire planet were wailing over its own end.

Mo frowned, a trace of displeasure flashing through his eyes. He stared at the innocent Son Goku before him, unable to suppress the irritation rising within his heart. This Son Goku had clearly witnessed the cruelest darkness in the universe, yet he still held compassion for his enemies. It infuriated him beyond measure. Tang Yangbing unconsciously clenched his fists, his knuckles turning faintly white from the force. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, but that dissatisfaction continued to churn within his chest like a volcano.

"You, Son Goku—do you want to spare everyone?" Tang Yangbing's voice was low and icy, like a whisper from the abyss. His blade-like gaze pierced straight into Son Goku's heart. "If that's the case, I wouldn't mind taking care of you myself."

Countless scenes flashed through Tang Yangbing's mind—painful lessons caused by softheartedness, tragedies born from a moment of mercy. He knew all too well that in this universe where the strong preyed on the weak, mercy toward one's enemies was cruelty toward oneself. In his eyes, Son Goku's innocence and kindness were nothing more than childish fantasies, dangerous behavior that could endanger the entire universe.

"Being softhearted toward enemies like this... I'd be better off killing you directly, so you don't keep annoying me." Tang Yangbing curled his lips into a cold smile, his eyes filled with disdain and mockery. So what if he was the protagonist of an anime? In this real world, Tang Yangbing was the true protagonist. He was the one in control of everything!

However, just as Tang Yangbing was about to explode, Son Goku's answer caught him by surprise.

"Oh, forget it. Since he wanted to conquer the universe, then it's better that he died like this." Son Goku's voice was calm and firm, a complicated light flashing in his eyes. Having just fought a cosmic emperor like Frieza, he had deeply felt the cruelty and ruthlessness of the universe. Killing was no longer an untouchable taboo in his heart.

Tang Yangbing paused slightly before revealing a satisfied smile. Son Goku's answer gave him some comfort. At least this naive Saiyan had not been completely blinded by idealism.

"Then let's go back to Earth." Tang Yangbing's voice carried a trace of ease. He reached out and lightly touched Son Goku's forehead with a finger. With Instant Transmission, they needed no means of transport. So long as they remembered a person's aura, they could travel through the universe at will.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The two figures vanished from the spot like lightning. In the next instant, they appeared atop Kami's Lookout on Earth. The air there was fresh and tranquil. A gentle breeze drifted past, carrying the faint fragrance of distant flowers and grass. Sunlight filtered through the clouds, bathing the lookout in a golden glow.

Son Goku looked around, feeling Earth's familiar aura, and an inexplicable sense of peace rose within him. He turned toward Tang Yangbing, admiration and fighting spirit gleaming in his eyes.

"Tang Yangbing, you're amazing. You actually surpassed Super Saiyan!" Son Goku's voice was full of sincere admiration. "I'll keep training hard!"

Tang Yangbing smiled faintly, appreciation showing in his eyes. Son Goku's fighting spirit and potential made him see an opponent worth looking forward to.

"I call this Super Saiyan 2," Tang Yangbing said proudly. "You can do it too. I'll be waiting for your challenge!"

Their gazes met in the air, seemingly sparking invisible flames. At this moment, they were not merely friends, but also goals and rivals chasing one another. On the road ahead, they would face even more challenges and adventures together. And all of it had only just begun.

Mo stood in the center of Kami's Lookout, the corners of his lips lifting into an excited smile he could not hide. Sunlight streamed through the lookout's windows and fell upon his somewhat tired yet expectant face. A faint scent of sandalwood filled the air, as though even the gods were blessing his achievement. He lightly clenched his fist, feeling the power surging within him, and thought to himself: Completing this check-in mission not only increased my strength, it also filled me with endless expectations for the future.

"Super Saiyan 2? All right, I understand! I'll definitely keep working hard!" Son Goku's voice was loud and steadfast, echoing through the empty lookout. He turned around, his golden hair fluttering gently in the breeze, his eyes shining with unyielding determination. With that, he leaped into the air and transformed into a streak of golden light, instantly disappearing beyond the horizon. Tang Yangbing watched his retreating figure and could not help smiling. That guy is probably rushing back to find Chi-Chi and do something indescribable.

Piccolo stood silently in a corner of the lookout, his green skin appearing especially solemn beneath the sunlight. His brow was tightly furrowed as his gaze followed Son Goku and Tang Yangbing, an indescribable bitterness rising in his heart. Once, he too had been the fearsome Demon King. Now, he seemed to have become nothing but a supporting character in this battle. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms as blood slowly dripped through his fingers.

"Damn it! Are all Super Saiyans such freaks? I'll surpass you both, Son Goku, Tang Yangbing!" Piccolo growled in a low voice, filled with resentment and fury. He recalled the glory of his past, those battles that had made others tremble, and now they seemed like distant memories. He silently swore that no matter what, he would reclaim the glory that belonged to him.

Tang Yangbing returned to a room in Kami's Lookout and gently closed the door. A faint woody fragrance filled the room. He sat cross-legged on a soft cushion, took a deep breath, and began calling upon the system within him. His heartbeat gradually accelerated, and he could almost hear his blood rushing through his veins.

"Open the check-in gift pack now!" Tang Yangbing's voice was calm and firm, as though announcing an important ritual.

"Ding, congratulations, Host. You have successfully opened the check-in gift pack and obtained the skill Fluorescent Energy Shield!" The system's notification was crisp and pleasant, like heavenly music. A faint fluorescent glow appeared before Tang Yangbing's eyes, surrounding his body like a transparent barrier and giving off a soft, mysterious radiance.

"Ding, congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Legendary Super Saiyan Bloodline!" The system spoke again, and Tang Yangbing's pupils suddenly contracted. The Legendary Super Saiyan Bloodline? Broly's terrifying appearance when he went berserk instantly surfaced in his mind—those scarlet eyes, that violent power, as though it could rip apart heaven and earth. A layer of cold sweat appeared on Tang Yangbing's forehead, and he could not help cursing under his breath, "Damn it, this Legendary Super Saiyan Bloodline doesn't seem that easy to use."

He closed his eyes and felt the newborn power within him, as though a violent dragon were awakening in his bloodline. He knew that the road ahead was still long, and all of this was merely the beginning.

Mo stood in a barren wilderness, surrounded by rolling sand dunes. In the distance, several withered yellow weeds swayed in the wind, as though recounting the loneliness of this land. He looked up at the gray, overcast sky, and an indescribable unease rose in his heart. The system's voice echoed in his mind, cold and mechanical, devoid of emotion.

"System, can I refuse?" Tang Yangbing's voice was somewhat hoarse. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force. After all, there were things one could accept, and things one could not. He knew well that in this world filled with the unknown and danger, every choice could bring unforeseeable consequences.

The system prompt sounded again, like the clash of cold metal: "After the host fuses with the Legendary Super Saiyan Bloodline, you will possess abilities identical to Broly's and be able to transform into a Legendary Super Saiyan. However, you will likewise lose your reason after transforming and enter a berserk state!"

Tang Yangbing's pupils suddenly contracted, as though he had been struck by lightning. Broly's savage figure instantly surfaced in his mind—those scarlet eyes filled with endless bloodlust, as if they wanted to tear the entire world apart. Tang Yangbing's heart sank, and a chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head. Fuck, I'd lose my mind too? What use is that ability, then?! He rejected it completely.

He recalled that Legendary Super Saiyan like Broly. Compared to the Super Saiyan Son Goku had achieved through hard work and training, the gap in strength and talent truly was like heaven and earth. Broly's power seemed innate, like a raging flood that could not be stopped; Son Goku's power, meanwhile, had been accumulated bit by bit through countless battles and trials, like tiny streams eventually converging into a great river. Yet when Tang Yangbing heard the latter half of the system's words—"you will lose your reason and go berserk after transforming"—he felt as though someone had abruptly dumped a bucket of ice water over him at the height of his excitement, chilling him to the bone.

If he really fused with this bloodline, would he become a monster who knew only slaughter, just like Broly? An image of himself out of control appeared in Tang Yangbing's mind: he stood amid ruins, surrounded by blazing flames and shattered buildings. His eyes were hollow and crazed, his hands stained with blood, yet he was utterly unaware of it. The possibility sent shivers down his spine. He absolutely could not let himself fall into such a state!

"This won't do!" Tang Yangbing muttered, his voice carrying a trace of resolve. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. After giving it some thought, he asked the system again, "System, after fusing with the Legendary Super Saiyan Bloodline, can I still transform into an ordinary Super Saiyan?"

There was both anticipation and unease in his voice. He hoped to find a way to have the best of both worlds—gain immense power while still retaining his sanity. However, the system's answer plunged him into deep thought once more...
