章 186: Having Provoked a Universal Force

Broly watched as the spaceship landed a few kilometers away.

"They sure are persistent." Broly mumbled to himself. He threw out a capsule and with a poof, a kitchen area appeared. He gathered some cooking utilities and started to heat up the stove. After taking out some food out of the fridge, he started to cook a dinner for himself.

A week ago, he had found this 'planet' on a report from this intelligent agency and something had struck him at that time. He didn't know why but he felt a hunch that something he wanted was on there.

Without thinking about it too much, he directly headed towards the planet and quickly realized something. His senses were too sharp to be fooled by a layer of earth.

One spot in particular had confirmed his guess. A perfect smooth orange colored ground. He cleared a bit of earth and saw the hidden stars deep inside.

This was no planet, it was a Super Dragon Ball! He was surprised to say the least. He practically stumbled upon this Dragon Ball without even trying. The other Dragon Balls on the other hand were still missing.

It was weird as he thought that not every planet would be covered by a large amount of dust. At least in the series, there was only one planet like the one, he was standing on. Wait! Didn't Champa already found six dragon balls in the series?

Doesn't that mean he still needs to find the one he was standing on? After thinking about this, he directly patched up the exposed spot and searched for other spots that might reveal its identity. He didn't know when Champa was going to look for it, but it wouldn't be unwise to be more carefully this time.

He then used his powers to push this planet sized Dragon Ball towards a spot to hide it. He didn't dare to let this dragon ball get found by Champa. If he did find it, Champa may want to enter universe 7. Although this was only supposed to happen in a few years, he didn't want to chance it.

He himself shouldn't exist in his universe and his appearance would surely create a butterfly effect that wouldn't necessarily only affect his universe but also all the others as well. Besides he himself wanted the Dragon Balls and if he wanted to keep or steal them, he needed to be able to contend against this God of Destruction.

He was well versed with space and time after all this time, so it wouldn't be hard to find a spot to hide it in and hopefully delay the arrival of Champa, the God of Destruction. The spot he chose was very similar to the surroundings of Perditus but far more dangerous.

Normal beings, emperors or even True Emperors would find it impossible to even enter that place and those who could, would be shredded to pieces after entering. Well, this was his estimation of a few light years away.

He still needed one day to arrive. If he had travelled alone, he would have arrived instantaneously, but he wasn't capable of teleporting this giant planet like object. But after a day of moving, a squad of the Universal Intelligence came along and demanded for him to get off the planet.

Broly felt suspicious of why they only now had interest in it, after all, he had found this planet in one of their report. He only went here on a hunch, but the Universal Intelligence arrived right after him.

They said that they only needed to investigate something here and needed him off. Of course, Broly wouldn't make way because someone wanted him too.

Additionally, Broly suspected that they wanted the Dragon Ball as well. With these thoughts in mind, would he voluntarily abandon this dragon ball? Obviously, the answer was no!

Both sides weren't willing to give in and it escalated quickly with Broly's way of looking down on them and his provoking attitude.

Very soon the situation ended up in a fight. 5 of them against Broly. The average was on the level of an emperor and the enemy squad leader wasn't a push over either. Broly estimated that his strength had reached the upper level of True Emperors which would be the same as an Ascended Super Saiyan who was on the verge of breaking through.

Broly played around with them a bit before he killed each of them. Of course, he didn't want to lose out in terms of information and had read their minds before their deaths.

From what he gathered was that their only mission was to intimidate him, to show off the power of the Universal Intelligence.

It seemed like his appearance had caused some disturbance, especially after he had killed an emperor, who pissed him off, two weeks prior. He only shook his head as he now had provoked them because he wasn't weak enough for them to easily bully.

During the coming week, several ships came, but didn't dare to stay for long after seeing him. He had thinly wrapped around the planet, so they wouldn't find anything suspicious. After a few scans in the beginning, more and more came until they all disappeared yesterday.

Now another ship appeared but this time it actually landed. Broly sighed as he contemplated his luck. He already provoked a universal force only after a few months of travelling. He couldn't help but shake his head as he thought about the arrogance of this force.

They were trying to intimidate him, ended up suffering and now held a grudge against him. How unreasonable could they be? Why couldn't they have arrived in the three months since he left planet Sadala? Why did they pursue this while he was sitting peacefully on a Super Dragon Ball?

What Broly didn't know was that there was another reason for their arrival. They only used Broly as an excuse to enter the territory Broly was currently residing in, after all the squad was a combat squad.

If their identity was somehow found out, they would be in deep trouble. So, not only did they prepare excuses, they even kept it a secret from all participants.

They were only able to become a universal force because they had a neutral stance with almost every other force. If they were found out to have sent a combat squad into a True Emperors territory, they would have to face the backlash of the other forces.

After having established hostility between them and Broly and after becoming aware of Broly's immense power, they wanted to kill him before Broly could become even stronger. With a middleman they put up a contract with the legendary assassin himself.

Trying to lay low was one thing but they were still ambitious and needed to investigate this area, no matter what. They had heard rumors that in this solar system group, something like a Dragon Ball was being spotted hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Broly looked at the ship landing on the surface and open up its door with a stair extending to the ground. At first, he had thought about shooting it down from the very start but seeing it stay, Broly figured he should at least see who was brave enough to come his way.

He watched a shadow approach the exit and slowly walk down the stairs before firmly planting his feet on the ground.

The door closed, the ship behind him turned on its engines again and flew high into the sky. Broly, however, didn't bother with the ship. He looked at the approaching figure with squinted eyes.

With just a glance he had figured out who was calmly walking towards him. Broly couldn't help but smile as he looked at the legendary assassin, Hit. He wasn't laying low or anything and it wasn't because he couldn't.

He had hoped that someone would send Hit after him, but he didn't expect to have it happen so soon or at all if he was being honest. However, considering who he had provoked during the last few days, he figured that it wasn't really surprising either.

He was puzzled why Hit needed to land away this far which forced him to walk all the way here, but he didn't complain as he still had some time this way. Broly turned around again and took out the stake that was sizzling in the pan on the stove.

He placed everything on a plate and sat down on a small table. He began to eat while watching Hit walk over.
