章節 88: Healed up

Broly had regained his conscious as soon as Kakos was first hit by Hakai. In that moment, Kakos' system, that spread through Broly's body, went into shock, allowing Broly to attain control over his energy again.

Broly instantly knew what was going on in his body as he could see the Hakai energy destroying the black threads. Without hesitation he pumped as much energy into the threads as he could possible do.

He knew that he couldn't destroy the pearl with normal attacks as he had tried it numerous times in the past, so instead, he guided his energy into the black pearl and started rampaging inside, while forcing every bit of lifeforce inside it out.

He started destroying the pearl from the inside with everything he got. He even went as far as to let his ki and magic power create mini explosions inside. If something went wrong, he could potentially cripple himself, but he couldn't hesitate. If he held back, it would be the end for him! However, this enabled him to stun Kakos for a brief moment.

Numerous explosions sounded out inside his body as he destroyed the pearl. The Hakais were erasing the black threads inside his body, but Kakos had cut the connection after the initial delay, but it was already too late for him. Holes had already appeared on his pearl.

Since he was located inside Broly's center where he generated ki, lifeforce and magic power, he had no way to escape. He was sitting trapped inside the lion's den, waiting to be devoured.

Kakos was trying to meld the pearl, to close of the holes, but Broly made sure to force lifeforce inside, so he could attack him from both sides.

It took time, slowly but surely, Broly was able to tear apart the pearl's shell bit by bit. Inside the pearl was a black hair-like wisp of energy, which was evidently Kakos soul. It started shining as Kakos tried to communicate with Broly.

"I- I think we got off on the wrong foot. I was only trying to save us both. I- I can give you unbelievable knowledge about- Wait. Noo. I can break the curse that resides in- Noooo. Don't! You- you can't kill me the universes nee-"

Without a moment of hesitation, Broly flooded the soul with every bit of energy he got and grinded it to particles.

This all happened in only an instant, but it had decided Broly's fate.

The pearl inside him had now completely vanished from his center as well as the threads through his body. Finished, he was trying to open his eyes, but exhaustion overwhelmed him, and he fell into a deep sleep.

*****

After an unknown amount of time, Broly slowly opened his eyes. He looked at a familiar desk through a window.

He looked around and saw himself inside a healing pod on his personal spaceship. He pressed the button next to the window and the water was slowly being drained. The window door opened. He stepped outside and stared in the mirror on the wall. He was confused for a second before remembering what had happened. He stroked the 10-centimeter-long scar on his chest.

He frowned for a second before closing his eyes as he sensed the lifeforce in the surroundings. He walked out of the room and headed towards the exit. He opened the hatch and directly jumped out.

He walked straight at a person who was roasting a big piece of meat. His body expanded in size until it reached his maximum size of 3 meters. His eyes were shining yellow as he raised his arm. Without saying anything he consecutively fired off countless ki blast at the person.

The figure was surprised at the sudden attack and had no time to evade the blasts. Broly started accelerating as he still fired his ki attacks. He broke out in a full force sprint as he directly plunged into the swirled smokescreen.

He punched out towards the lifeforce he was sensing. He felt the direct hit. The collision created a shockwave that dispersed the smoke and revealed a blue shining figure blocking Broly's attack with one hand.

"Dad, you should take it slow, I-"

"Don't fucking Dad me!"

The idea of listening to her bullshit didn't come to Broly's mind as he unleashed a wrathful rain of punches, but no matter how he attacked, it was all easily blocked.

Seeing her not retaliate only pissed Broly more off. This supposedly future daughter of his, not only almost killed him, but even disrespected him now by looking at him with these eyes filled with concern. He couldn't stand it!

"Uraaaghhhhh!!"

His ki suddenly rose in strength as lightning appeared around his body and his hair seemed even more electrified as usual. He was gaining momentum as he attacked her but was still unable to push her back in the slightest. He was in a frenzy as he only thought about beating her up. For minutes this went on, a giant crater already formed underneath them, trees were uprooted, and boulders pulverized.

Suddenly the woman flicked her arm. He wasn't able to clearly see the movements or react to it but was able to feel the impact on his neck as he fainted.

He woke up in a bed on the infirmary of his ship. He became irritated as he thought about how he lost again to the same woman. He turned his head and saw Alea holding his hand against her lips with Cana sitting next to her, while Zangya stood off to the side watching them.

Seeing them instantly calmed him.

"You are finally back. I thought you would die-" Alea's tears fell onto his hand as she gave him a smile. She went through his hair and leaned in for a kiss. Her tears were wetting his face, but he didn't mind as he returned the kiss.

Cana already climbed inside the bed and laid down beside him.

"You really made us worry about you…" Her voice was faltering as she tried to suppress herself from sobbing.

Although she had turned her head, he knew that Zangya wiped away her tears quietly.

This went on for some time until Broly decided to break the silence.

"What does she want?" Their sobbing stopped and Alea looked at him with a bitter and saddened smile.

"Promise you won't interrupt me, when I tell her story." He looked at her for a second, but he saw that she already took a firm standpoint on it.

"Alright, I promise."

"Sigh. You already know that she is from the future. She is your and Zangya's daughter." Alea looked at the back of the silent Zangya before continuing.

"In a few years you would have given birth to her, Helen. It all went well for you, until you 'changed'. She only realized it now, but you were possessed by the soul inside your body after you went out alone in the search of the Super Dragon Balls. Kakos, after taking control of your body, rampaged across the universes and erased most of them. Only in a last standoff with the gods, angels and every other powerful warrior in existence, they were able to defeat Kakos and kill him.

The universes in her timeline are in shambles and they decided to send her and two new appointed gods of destructions into the past and use the Dragon Balls there to revive theirs. Since they already created another timeline, she wanted it to be better than hers and kill you before something like her future could happen again. Because you are her father, she wanted to do it herself, but after Kakos took over your body, she realized that you were just another victim of his and saved you."

Broly didn't say anything even after she finished. Obviously, he could understand Helen's motivation and thought process. She must have gone through a lot and it was not an easy task for her to pick up the sword to kill her father.

He also saw her cry over his dying body before he slowly fainted. But just because he understood her, it didn't mean he was okay with it.

Fact was she tried to kill him and even if her motivations were good, it certainly didn't make this experience any better for him.

Cana saw how he furrowed his eyebrows.

"You gave me another chance. Can't you give your daughter another one? You don't have to like her but at least talk to her."

He stared deeply into her eyes.

"Sigh. Very well. Only because of you." Broly stood up and headed out of the ship and saw Helen quietly watching the flames of the campfire a few hundred meters away. She heard the footstep and saw Broly walk towards her. She stood up and turned towards him. The indifferent cold eyes of Broly saddened her and filled her with guilt.
