"Worthy of Lord Supreme Kai. Your methods are truly astounding," Kibito praised.
"Kibito, stop flattering me," Shin said with a light laugh.
Then Shin introduced the two to each other. "Kibito, this is Broly. Broly, this is my servant, Kibito."
Broly blankly nodded at Kibito.
Kibito, meanwhile, looked at Broly with some distaste. But since this man had been brought back by Lord Supreme Kai, he could only put up with it.
"Kibito, take Broly to wash up. Prepare a change of clothes and some food for him while you're at it," Shin instructed.
"Yes, Lord Supreme Kai," Kibito replied respectfully.
Kibito gave Broly a disdainful glance. "Follow me."
With that, Kibito rose into the air and flew off in one direction.
Broly looked helplessly at Shin. Shin smiled and nodded. "Go on, Broly."
Broly nodded blankly, then rose into the air as well and chased after Kibito.
Shin watched the two leave.
Shin silently calculated the time. There are still six hours until dawn on Earth.
For now, I'll teach Broly how to control his power.
I can't wait to see the looks on Son Goku and Vegeta's faces when they meet Broly.
Kibito brought Broly before a large house. This house had been created by Shin, and it was fully furnished.
Kibito led Broly into the bathroom. First, he filled the bathtub with hot water, then taught Broly how to use the showerhead.
"You've learned it all, right? Once you've washed yourself clean with the showerhead, get into the tub and soak. I'll go prepare some food," Kibito said.
Broly stared blankly at Kibito, his eyes brimming with innocent stupidity... He had not understood.
Kibito was speechless. "Forget it. Just stand beneath the showerhead and rinse yourself clean first, then soak in the bathtub for a while. Don't touch anything else!"
With that, Kibito stopped bothering with Broly, turned, and left the bathroom to prepare food.
Broly blankly watched Kibito leave, then curiously looked at the showerhead continuously spraying water. He reached out and touched it, only to jerk his hand back as if shocked.
Hot!
Broly stared at the showerhead in wonder, looking exactly like a child who had found a fun new toy. Then he began playing with it in the bathroom...
Kibito spent over ten minutes preparing the food, only to find that Broly still had not come out.
"He must be soaking in the bath," Kibito guessed.
Another half hour passed.
Kibito was getting impatient. "Did he fall into the toilet or something? Why isn't he out yet?!"
After waiting a little longer, Kibito's patience ran out. He stormed into the bathroom and forcibly dragged out Broly, who was holding the showerhead and using it like a water gun!
"Dry yourself off. These are the clothes I prepared for you. The food is outside. Hurry up and eat, then we're going to see Lord Supreme Kai!" Kibito urged impatiently.
Broly blankly followed Kibito's instructions...
"Lord Supreme Kai."
Kibito brought the well-fed Broly, now dressed in new clothes, before Shin.
Shin looked Broly over from head to toe and smiled. "Broly, did the food suit your taste?"
Broly nodded repeatedly, excitement gleaming in his eyes. "The food was delicious!"
"That's good." Shin smiled, his gaze falling on the beast hide wrapped around Broly's waist.
Following the Supreme Kai's gaze, Kibito also noticed the filthy beast hide. Frowning, he said with displeasure, "Why keep something so filthy? Give it to me, and I'll throw it away for you!"
As he spoke, Kibito reached out to pull the beast hide from Broly's waist.
At that moment.
The previously quiet Broly seemed to be provoked. His ki erupted fiercely, and his expression turned savage!
"Yaaah!"
Kibito jumped in fright and staggered back repeatedly, cold sweat breaking out across his forehead.
"Broly, calm down." A divine light flashed in Shin's eyes. Broly's ki dispersed, and his mind was subjected to Forced Calm.
Broly calmed down and looked at Kibito somewhat apologetically. Then he lowered his head and stroked the filthy beast hide around his waist, stammering an explanation. "Th... this was left to me by my friend... It's... it's very important... I... I can't throw it away..."
Naturally, Shin knew where the beast hide around Broly's waist had come from. And he had not learned it through the original story; rather, he had been constantly watching Vampa and keeping watch over Broly and Paragus.
For some unknown reason, in the normal course of history, Paragus had merely broken off that giant beast's ear rather than killing it.
But in this timeline, Paragus had not only broken the beast's ear at the time, but had directly killed it as well!
That giant beast had been Broly's first friend. Its death had remained an inescapable shadow in Broly's heart, which was why he treasured the beast hide around his waist so deeply.
Thinking of this, Shin smiled and held out his hand. "Broly, may I take a look at what you have around your waist?"
Broly hesitated. After thinking about it, he finally untied the beast hide from his waist and handed it to Shin.
Shin accepted the beast hide with both hands and examined it closely, divine light flickering in his eyes...
He was reading information about the hide's original owner: its size, scent, blood, memories, habits, and living environment...
Only a few seconds passed.
The divine light faded from Shin's eyes. The corners of his mouth rose as he looked up at Broly. "Broly, come with me."
Shin rose into the air and flew in one direction.
Though Broly was confused, he obediently followed. Kibito followed close behind as well.
Shin hovered in the air, his gaze sweeping over the ground below. Soon, his eyes settled on a wide open space.
Shin raised a hand and pointed, transforming that open space into a muddy swamp.
Then Shin tapped the beast hide in his hand. The hide began glowing green, a miraculous energy representing pure life!
Under Shin's control, the beast hide slowly floated up, then descended toward the swamp below.
Seeing this.
Broly grew anxious and wanted to rush over to retrieve the beast hide.
"Easy, Broly." Shin raised a hand to stop the agitated Broly, smiling as he said, "Watch carefully. This is the miracle of life."
Shin pointed downward, activating Creation and Life Creation at the same time!
A miracle occurred!
The beast hide began to wriggle as though it had come alive. Then flesh and blood began growing from it...
Under Broly's stunned gaze, an enormous beast identical to the one in his memories grew out of that beast hide!
Bang!
The giant beast crashed into the vast swamp below, sending towering waves splashing upward!
Splash—
A few seconds after sinking into the swamp, the giant beast slowly raised its snake-like body. Water cascaded down from its body in torrents.
The giant beast raised its vicious-looking head, its scarlet eyes fixed on Shin and the other two above...
