Kapitel 157: Floating Island

After half an hour of waiting for the journey to end, the city started rumbling and slowed down tremendously like it crashed into water.

Broly and his company had already gathered and were quietly waiting. As Broly looked outside of the blurry barrier, he saw the city was touching a gigantic portal. The city pushed forward straight into it.

A bright light started enveloping the edge of the city that was pointing towards the portal. With the second, this curtain of light moved across the barrier of the city until the city had crossed the portal. The other elites were somewhat calm which seemed to be a result of Broly's presence.

His steadfast and confident demeanor infected them like a virus until they faced their nature with determination.

Broly didn't say anything as he stood in front of the group. He was the first to welcome and enter the portal. Even his vision of truth was temporarily blinded which was bizarre as he could normally see through other rifts with no difficulties. Although the sword and the golden triangle could obstruct his vision, they couldn't blind him.

Because his vision of truth was useless for the moment, he observed the surroundings with his eyes, used his other senses to notice if something was happening. His body was tense, and his senses were sharpened to its highest degree.

He had already turned into his third legendary state and used Ikari as he pushed himself to the peak. He even held Solutus' sword tightly in one of his hand. Although he wasn't a swordsman, he could still swing it around. It would prove useful for any energy attacks that might be coming his way.

The bright surroundings slowly faded and revealed a floating island to Broly's senses. It wasn't far away.

To Broly this bit of land looked like it was once part of paradise. Lush green flora, butterflies and the chirping of birds. There was even a rainbow spanning across the island. Numerous waterfalls were flowing down the island, strangely, however, as Broly looked for the source of these waterfalls, he saw that it was coming out of the sky, which looked like a colorful nebula.

The nebula wasn't only in the sky, but it was also covering everything below the floating island, to be more precise, it surrounded everything around them. It looked like besides the island, there was nothing but nebula.

He tried to pry into the nebula with his vision of truth and as he expected his senses were obstructed. In fact, he couldn't even pry into the lush forest on the island. It was like this whole area was covered by a veil.

Broly looked at the floating island and observed it shortly. He squinted slightly as he discovered something. He shouted out as soon as he was sure.

"Prepare yourself, we will leave this city and land on an island to the front!" Broly said as he looked at the island that seemed to gain altitude, but Broly knew that that wasn't the case. He had sensed that the thrusters that were letting this city fly began to lose power. The city wouldn't make the distance towards the island.

Exousia's elites shouted out in confirmation and immediately prepared themselves for departure. Since they had half an hour for rest, they were instantly prepared and made their way to the edge of the city. They couldn't see through the blurry barrier but since their king said there was an island to the front, there would be an island to the front.

Broly looked down and saw seemingly endless nebula. He didn't know what would await them down there and he wasn't eager to find out. He waited a bit for the island to get closer and then waved his arm.

A ki sphere shot out and instantly landed on the barrier. With a grand explosion the barrier shattered into piece. It was fortunate to Broly and his group that the defensive abilities of this barrier inside seemed to be almost nonexistent.

As soon as the barrier shattered, the view of the island was revealed to their naked eyes. Broly didn't hesitate and directly jumped off the city, destroying the ground under his feet in the process.

His body flew near the island while keeping in check that the others were closely following behind him. The last thing he wanted was for the group to be involuntarily split apart.

Fortunately, nothing attacked or anything weird happened. They gathered together and flew towards the island. It didn't take them long to arrive and they searched for a small clearing in the lush flora that awaited them on the island.

They didn't have to search for long to find a small clearing of 10 meters in the forest. Broly and the others were still vigilantly looking around for a beast on this paradisiacal island.

Broly looked around as he scoured through the surroundings, but his concentration broke as soon as he stepped onto the ground.

He felt like he was about to be crushed by a gigantic sun, which that was pressing on every single cell in his body. The king heavily fell on his knees. The ground under his knees were directly cracked open. He stabilized his body with his hands.

His face grimaced as he even felt breathing difficult. He regulated his breath and slowly stood up again. It wasn't like gravity that pressed him into the ground but an overall pressure on his whole body. He only fell down because he was surprised. He urged his ki to the maximum, but to his surprise he involuntarily transformed back into his base and he couldn't turn Super Saiyan, no matter how much he urged his ki.

If he felt this kind of pressure that forced him out of his transformation, wouldn't the others be instantly crushed into a bloody mess? He looked at the others and saw the elites watching them confusedly. Taro, Aize, Alea, Cana and Zangya were frowning and seemed to have difficulties in moving around as well.

However, it looked like they had a much easier time than Broly. Broly looked at the other elites.

"Do you feel any pressure?" The elites only shook their head. Only Alea and the others were confirming it.

"Alright, we will make ourselves familiar with the surroundings first. Considering the size of the island, we will be staying the night. We don't know how long we will be staying here, so look for a water and food source. Luch you will lead a team of 10 to scout the area for animals…"

Broly divided the group and gave them tasks to fulfill. Good thing that elves had a natural affinity with nature and were quickly able to find a river with drinkable water. Luch and his team were able to find some animals they could eat. The animals didn't seem to be strong at all and could be easily hunted by the fierce Saiyans.

Broly had decided to stay on this island at least for the day. The elites had fought two difficult battles in a row, first when the assassins attacked their home and then on their counterattack.

They weren't in the conditions to explore this dangerous terrain. Of course, the Saiyans may be alright, but the elves and the other races that joined them would be hard pressed to go through anything more.

Besides Broly was near to useless right now. He could move around and speak like a normal person but forget fighting, even running would leave him breathless. Alea and the others on the other hand were in a much better position.

They were still able to transform but even if they turned Super Saiyan 2, they would only be slightly stronger than Luch who had just turned Super Saiyan for the first time. The difference between their strength now and before they arrived were like heaven and earth.

Previously they were very close to the peak of their universe, now they would only be called strong by the average expert. Although they were dissatisfied and worried, they didn't dare to say anything, after all, there was one who experienced a drop of strength incomparable to theirs.

Broly could be said to be in the top 5 in the universe or even the strongest, but now? Even an average elite would be able to defeat him. If it weren't for his strong body, he could have been easily killed.

He didn't complain, however, he looked around the forest to get some information out of the surroundings. He regulated his breathing, meditated, circulated his ki, magic and lifeforce in order to ease up the pressure. There was only one option that helped him though, it was to use his soul.

With it he would gain tremendous strength and it could be said to be close to when he transformed to an ascended Legendary Super Saiyan, but it was problematic to use right now. His soul was still damaged and needed rest. He would only worsen his condition if he strained it even more.

Still it was a good thing to have something up his sleeve.

While he waited for the day to die out, he conditioned his body in order to find more useful things that could boost his strength. He would move out on the next day in order to find out what Solutus wanted him on this island for. Broly looked into the sky and saw the nebula becoming even dimmer than before, announcing the night in this strange place.
