Fierce Battle

Broly had finished charging up.

Grass-green aura erupted from his body like a mountain flood. The ground beneath his feet could not withstand the oppressive force and collapsed in layers around him.

He kicked off with both legs, turning into a green meteor that shot straight toward him, dragging a long trail of energy behind it.

Son Gohan watched the figure draw ever closer, his expression unchanged.

Golden aura burst forth. Rather than retreating, he charged straight ahead to meet him.

The two figures collided head-on in midair—BOOM!!

Golden and grass-green aura exploded outward from the two of them. The shockwave shredded the clouds to pieces, staining the sky gold and green.

Their fists and kicks slammed into each other in a frenzy, a punch for a kick, every blow landing solidly on flesh.

Son Gohan drove a punch into Broly's chest, and Broly backhanded him in return.

Broly kicked Son Gohan in the abdomen. Son Gohan grunted but did not retreat, instead swinging back with two punches that smashed into Broly's face.

As the fight heated up, Son Gohan simply could not be bothered to defend anymore.

Broly's heavy fist slammed into his shoulder with a dull crack of bone. Borrowing the force, he twisted at the waist and spun around, driving both fists into the same spot on Broly's chest.

Trading injury for injury—one punch for two.

The sound of flesh striking flesh continued without end. The two were like tireless beasts, viciously brawling above the ruins.

Son Gohan's gaze sharpened as he activated Instant Transmission.

He vanished from the spot and appeared behind Broly the next instant, whipping a brutal roundhouse kick into his back.

The kick split the air, followed by an explosive dull thud. Caught off guard, Broly was sent flying, spinning as he crashed through a rocky mountain.

Before he could land, Son Gohan fired repeatedly with both hands.

Golden energy blasts poured from his palms one after another, dense as a torrential downpour, filling the sky around Broly.

He continued firing, the barrage growing denser and denser. Countless golden points of light filled half the sky, completely surrounding Broly.

Finally, he forcefully drew both hands downward—all the energy blasts converged on the center at once, countless golden points hurtling at the same target from every direction.

BOOM—!!

The explosions continued without end, layers of firelight piling atop one another as the earth trembled violently beneath the ceaseless bombardment.

The explosions lasted for a full half hour. Smoke and dust soared into the sky, blotting out the sun.

As the thick smoke slowly dispersed, Broly stood in the center of a deep crater. Several bloody gashes had appeared on his body, but it was not over yet.

Son Gohan raised his right hand and instantly fired Demon Flash.

A golden beam blasted toward Broly. Having recovered his bearings, Broly thrust out both hands, forming a green energy barrier before himself.

The golden beam crashed into the green barrier, triggering another earth-shaking explosion.

When the smoke cleared, there were a few more bloodstains on Broly's body, blood trickling down his arms.

Yet his eyes held only even fiercer madness.

Broly looked at the blood on his hands as if it had completely ignited him.

His blood boiled inside him like ravenous wolves. Violent energy ran wild beyond his control, and a pillar of grass-green aura shot into the heavens, tearing through the clouds.

His black hair faded to gold and stood upright like needles. His aura surged dramatically once more.

The Legendary Super Saiyan had evolved yet again.

Broly raised both hands, and two terrifying green energy spheres condensed in his palms. They expanded until they were the size of small mountains, their grass-green radiance swallowing everything around them.

With a furious roar, he blasted the two gigantic energy spheres toward Son Gohan at the same time.

If the power of those two energy blasts struck a planet, the entire planet would be turned into fireworks in the cosmos.

Son Gohan did not dare let his guard down.

He planted his feet firmly, drawing both hands to his waist as Tenfold Kamehameha gathered in his palms.

The deep-blue energy wave grew increasingly blinding, and the surrounding space warped slightly under the pressure of its power.

"Ka—me—ha—me—HAAA!!"

A blue beam as thick as a barrel erupted from his palms, meeting the two green energy blasts head-on.

The two forces collided fiercely in midair, their energies crushing against each other as blinding white light burst from the point of contact.

After several seconds of deadlock, the two green energy blasts suddenly merged into one, swelling another size as it forced the Kamehameha back.

Son Gohan gritted his teeth, pouring energy into his arms without regard for the cost. The blue beam surged again, thickening by another measure.

RUMBLE—!!

A massive mushroom cloud erupted from the collision point, and the shockwave flattened everything within several hundred li.

After the smoke dissipated, Broly's aura was still rising. The longer he fought, the stronger he became; the angrier he grew, the stronger he became, as if there were no end to it.

Son Gohan turned into a streak of golden light and charged in, smashing a punch into Broly's face.

The punch landed solidly, but Broly did not dodge. He took it head-on, and a wicked grin split across his lips.

He suddenly countered with a punch, smashing it hard into Son Gohan's abdomen.

The force tore through him. Son Gohan spat out a mouthful of sour fluid and flew backward, crashing into a distant pile of rubble.

He rose from the rubble, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes burned with fighting spirit.

"Not bad. Your power's risen fast—but."

He rolled his neck, his joints cracking loudly.

"No one's ever pushed me around like this, damn it. A battle of endurance? I've never been afraid of one."

Golden aura erupted around him once more as he transformed again—Super Saiyan 2, full power!

His hair stood up even more sharply, lightning crackling wildly around his body as electric sparks scattered in every direction.

He swept his gaze around—Planet Vampa had already been blasted into a devastated wasteland, filled with craters and cracks. If they kept fighting, it might split in half.

Son Gohan raised both hands, and two ki blasts exploded at Broly's feet.

Smoke billowed out. In the instant it obscured Broly's vision, he used Instant Transmission to appear behind him.

Before Broly could react, Son Gohan grabbed his shoulder. With a thought, Instant Transmission activated.

The two vanished from above Planet Vampa.

The next moment, they appeared on a desolate, uninhabited planet in the North Galaxy.

The planet held nothing but endless rock and desert. Son Gohan released his grip and surveyed the surroundings.

"Now we can really cut loose."

Broly answered with an enraged roar.

The two figures collided again, golden and grass-green light intertwining madly across the nameless planet.

They fought from the desert to the rocky mountain range, then from the ground into the high sky.

Every collision unleashed visible shockwaves, blasting one massive crater after another into the barren land.

One day, two days...

The battle lasted a full ten days.

Like tireless beasts, the two slaughtered each other madly on the deserted planet.

Son Gohan's Dimensional Seed gradually filled with energy during the battle.

The Legendary Super Saiyan's high-quality energy was absorbed without end, and Broly's trait of growing stronger with every battle, his combat power constantly rising, was completely captured by the Dimensional Seed as well.

This trip through time had paid for itself with this one battle alone.

North King Kai's Planet.

North King Kai sat cross-legged on the grass, the antennae atop his head trembling slightly.

He suddenly opened his eyes, cold sweat beading on his forehead—most of the South Galaxy had already been destroyed.

That terrifying green aura was moving toward the North Galaxy.

Not daring to waste any time, he immediately transmitted his voice through his antennae.

"Goku! A terrifying Super Saiyan has appeared in the South Galaxy! More than half of the South Galaxy has already been destroyed!"

"The battlefield has now shifted to the North Galaxy—hurry and prepare yourselves. Don't let Earth get caught up in this!"

Earth, within a cherry blossom grove.

Pink and white petals drifted in the breeze, carpeting the soft grass.

Bulma lay on a mat, holding a drink as she looked at the cherry blossoms overhead, clouds and rosy dawn in bloom. She narrowed her eyes and sighed, "Ah—it's been so long since I've relaxed and enjoyed the flowers like this."

Son Goku sat cross-legged nearby, stuffing snacks into his mouth. Krillin and Future Trunks sat opposite him, while Piccolo stood with his arms folded beneath a cherry tree.

Peace was rare. Leisure was rare.

Even Vegeta had come for once, standing nearby expressionlessly with a barely touched drink in hand.

Suddenly, the shadow of a spaceship passed over the cherry blossom grove.

The ship slowly descended, kicking up a wave of air that sent petals dancing across the sky.

The hatch opened, and three figures stepped out—at the front was a burly middle-aged Saiyan with a goatee and shrewd, cunning eyes.

Two grunts in battle armor followed behind him, dressed in the standard uniform of the Frieza Force.

It was Paragus. His gaze passed through the swirling cherry blossoms and fell on Vegeta, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Prince Vegeta, it's been a long time."
