In the vast universe, a desolate, yellowish planet hangs alone.
The entire surface of the planet was covered by thick, dark yellow dust and strange rocks, and the wind howled incessantly all year round, whipping up sand and stones and emitting a ghostly wail.
In mid-air, ripples appeared in space without warning.
A massive black hole suddenly opened up, and two figures slowly emerged from it.
Towa held a staff with a purple jewel at its tip, her eerie gaze sweeping across the desolate landscape.
Behind her stood Mira, a burly, expressionless Demon Realm warrior.
" Towa, are the Dragon Ball on this planet?"
Mira's voice was low and deep.
Towa nodded slightly.
She lightly tapped her staff in mid-air, and the jewel at its tip emitted invisible magical ripples that spread out in all directions.
She closed her eyes and sensed it carefully.
A few seconds later, Towa suddenly opened her eyes, a sneer of certainty curling at the corner of her mouth.
She had clearly detected that familiar, pleasantly sinister undercurrent.
at the same time.
On the far other side of Planet Vampa.
A burly man, shirtless and with a specially made metal ring around his neck, was trekking across a rugged wilderness.
He carried a beast's leg, several times larger than himself, on his shoulder. Blood dripped from the severed leg, leaving dark red marks on the dim yellow ground.
Carefully, I walked to the edge of a murky lake with acidic bubbles and gently placed the giant leg on my shoulder onto the shore.
Throughout the entire process, his movements were extremely gentle, as if he were afraid of disturbing anything in the lake.
Broly looked at the murky lake, his face showing deep regret and complex emotions.
He subconsciously reached out and touched the green fur tied around his waist.
The feel of that fur was familiar, yet it stirred up an indescribable sadness within him.
Just as Broly turned around, preparing to silently leave...
The ground beneath my feet suddenly began to tremble violently!
"Boom--!"
The center of the lake churned violently like boiling water, and a column of green, acidic water, tens of meters high, shot into the sky!
The water column exploded in the air, turning into a torrential downpour that sizzled and corroded the surrounding ground.
The mist dissipated.
A colossal green beast, as large as a hill, suddenly emerged from the lake!
It was covered in rough green fur, had a thick tail, but no limbs, and had a strange appearance.
Most strikingly, one of its ears appeared to have been severed cleanly at the root, leaving only a gruesome scar.
"Bang!"
As soon as the giant beast appeared, it let out a deafening roar.
Its scarlet eyes were fixed on Broly on the shore, completely ignoring their past friendship, filled with hostility and defensiveness.
" Ba..."
Broly called out softly, his voice filled with bitterness.
Despite the beast's hostility, he showed no sign of anger; instead, his expression became even more dejected.
Like a child who had done something wrong, he lowered his head in shame, unable to meet those scarlet eyes.
In the end, Broly said nothing.
He burst forth with a solitary rage, soaring into the sky and flying towards the dusky horizon.
As Broly's figure receded into the distance, the giant beast known as Ba still gleamed with ferocity in its eyes.
It glanced coldly at the enormous beast leg on the shore, then disdainfully looked away without even touching it.
Sudden!
Ba suddenly raised her head and looked warily in another direction above the lake!
There, the space in mid-air began to distort.
Towa and Mira appeared out of nowhere, like ghosts.
Ba sensed the terrifying and evil aura emanating from the two people.
Its instinct to invade its territory instantly enraged it.
It opened its gaping maw and unleashed a high-density venom cannon, spraying it towards the two people in mid-air!
call out--!
A faint, dark red ray, almost invisible to the naked eye, shot out from Mira's fingertip in an instant.
That speed was so fast that it exceeded the physical laws of this planet.
The ray silently pierced the sky, directly penetrating Ba's massive body.
A plume of ghastly green blood mist burst open beneath its thick fur.
The air seemed to freeze completely at that moment.
The fierce glint in Ba's eyes vanished instantly.
Its massive body stiffened for a moment.
"Bang..."
A mournful, weak cry escaped from the depths of its throat.
Immediately afterwards, the hill-like body could no longer support itself and slumped helplessly to one side.
"Boom--!"
A deafening roar followed.
Ba plunged headfirst into that murky, acidic lake, creating a massive wave.
The dark green blood quickly stained the entire lake surface red.
at the same time.
On the other side of the wilderness of Planet Vampa, in the distant sky.
Broly, who was flying alone, suddenly stopped in mid-air.
He stopped.
Broly felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
A nameless, indescribable sense of panic and anxiety instantly swept over my entire body.
His breath hitched.
A sharp pain shot through his chest, causing him to instinctively clutch his chest.
What happened...?
Having dealt with the troublesome behemoth, Towa smiled with satisfaction.
She gracefully raised her wand, and the jewel at its tip instantly emitted a rich, dark purple light.
This eerie magic, like an invisible hand, pointed directly to the murky lakebed below.
Immediately afterwards, the lake surface, which had been stained red by Ba's green blood, began to shimmer with a dark red glow, and the acidic lake water churned and rolled against the current.
Guided by Towa's magic, a black bead with a dark red star pattern slowly broke through the water's surface and quietly floated in mid-air.
" One-Star Dark Dragon Ball ".
Towa read it softly, extending her slender fingers to formally take the ominous bead into her possession.
suddenly!
"Boom--!"
A loud bang!
The once calm lake surface surged violently again, sending up acidic water splashes tens of meters high!
Ba, who had not yet completely lost consciousness and should have been killed with a single blow, actually struggled to stretch out her huge head, driven by the last bit of wildness in her territory being invaded!
Just as Towa's hand was about to touch the Dragon Ball, Ba suddenly opened her gaping maw.
The enormous maw, filled with fangs, completely blocked the Dark Dragon Ball along with the surrounding air, swallowing it whole with a gulp!
Seeing her prey snatched away, Towa's composed smile instantly froze on her face.
Mira, standing to the side, paled instantly, her eyes turning extremely cold.
"You filthy monster! You're asking for death!"
Mira let out a roar, and her body erupted with jet-black flames.
He transformed into a streak of black lightning, charging forward, ready to rip the giant beast apart!
However, Ba, who swallowed the Dark Dragon Ball, was not slaughtered as easily as Mira had expected!
The moment the Dragon Ball entered her stomach, the potentially fatal piercing wound on Ba's body sprouted countless dark red buds at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye, instantly restoring her to her original state!
Not only that, Ba's entire demeanor underwent a complete transformation!
Its originally green, rough fur stood on end, faintly gleaming with a purplish-black metallic sheen, and its size increased dramatically once again.
"Roar--!!!"
A tangible, extremely violent, dark red evil aura erupted from Ba's mountain-like body!
The evil aura instantly swept across the entire lake, even evaporating the surrounding acidic water and emitting a piercing white smoke!
This malevolent energy, accompanied by extreme negative emotions, transformed into powerful shockwaves.
Mira, who was rushing forward at top speed, was forced to stop in mid-air before she could even get close!
