Soon, the two were locked in a fierce battle in the sky.
"This Broly is truly impressive. Even in his thirties, he possesses power no weaker than Super Saiyan 4. Good thing I let Reg test him first!"
Gohan watched silently from afar.
Bang!
Reg clenched his right fist and slammed Broly down toward the ground.
Boom!
Broly crashed into the earth like a meteor, kicking up an enormous cloud of dust.
"Huff… huff…"
Reg panted heavily, staring down at Broly with exhaustion written across his face.
At that moment, Gohan opened his palm and checked the Seed of the Universe. The energy had already reached nearly 5%.
One battle had gathered 5%. If he witnessed around twenty battles of this level, the Seed should be fully charged.
Soon, the dust cleared, revealing a massive crater.
Broly stood at its center, gasping for air.
With a roar, he shot back into the sky toward Reg.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They clashed once more in midair.
Gohan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Although Broly was incredibly powerful, he seemed to be tiring.
In the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie, the out-of-control Broly overwhelmed Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Vegeta and even fought Golden Frieza for an hour straight.
If this Broly had reached that level, he should not be showing signs of fatigue so soon.
That meant his current strength had not yet reached his future peak.
Bang!
The two grabbed each other's hands, locking into a raw contest of strength as they descended toward the ground.
Boom!
Just before hitting the earth, Broly shoved Reg away.
Reg stomped hard and charged forward again.
Broly roared and threw a full-power punch.
Reg met it head-on.
Boom!
The ground trembled violently as their fists collided. Their auras exploded outward in a shockwave.
After a brief stalemate, both were knocked backward.
"Huff… huff…"
Reg prepared to charge again, but suddenly his body reverted to his base form.
"W-What?!"
Reg's eyes widened in shock. He had exhausted his stamina.
"He reverted!"
Paragus smiled slightly.
This meant Reg no longer had the strength to continue. Victory belonged to Broly.
"Damn it!"
Even so, Reg rushed forward in desperation.
Broly struck him with a single punch, sending him crashing to the ground. Reg lost consciousness instantly.
Moments later, Broly's body also reverted to base form. Having burned through all his power, he collapsed as well.
"Is it a draw?"
Paragus quickly flew toward Reg's unconscious body.
Just as he was about to finish him—
Thud!
Paragus suddenly felt sharp pain and collapsed unconscious.
Gohan had silently intervened.
He took out the Heaven-Reaching Mirror and sent Reg back to Planet Bumbin.
Then he returned to Broly's side and revived him.
Vampa was filled with dangerous creatures. If Broly remained unconscious, he might become prey.
Planet Bumbin
After some time, Reg regained consciousness.
He saw Supari sitting beside his bed.
"You're awake!"
Reg nodded.
"Is this Planet Bumbin?"
"Yes. What happened? How were you injured so badly?"
"I was taken to Vampa!"
"Vampa? That planet with the harsh environment?"
"Yes. I met a Saiyan there named Broly!"
"A Super Saiyan?"
Supari was shocked.
While Super Saiyans were not rare on Planet Bumbin, they were still legends elsewhere. Before Reg was born, the Super Saiyan was nothing more than myth.
Reg nodded.
"And he's different from me. His aura is green, and he has only one transformation!"
"Green? How strong is he?"
"He's incredibly strong. Even my Super Saiyan 4 lost to him!"
"What? Even Super Saiyan 4?"
Reg nodded grimly.
"Broly had a battle power of 10,000 at birth. That's why King Vegeta exiled him to Vampa."
"Then how did you return?"
"I don't know. I fainted after being defeated. When I woke up, I was here!"
Supari frowned.
"You think someone interfered?"
Reg nodded.
"Someone set it up. Their purpose was likely to make me fight Broly."
"But what would they gain from that?"
"I don't know. But if I ever find out who it was, I won't let them off!"
Supari nodded silently.
Earth
After returning, Gohan was in an excellent mood as he guided Goten's training.
At the same time, he began planning the next stage of energy collection for the Seed of the Universe.
West City, Bulma's House
After hesitating for a full day, Trunks finally decided to speak to Vegeta about becoming Gohan's disciple.
At that moment, Vegeta was training inside the Gravity Chamber.
Trunks entered.
Vegeta glanced at him and continued doing one-finger push-ups.
"F-Father!"
"What is it?"
"I… I want to take Goten's older brother as my master!"
"Goten's older brother?"
Vegeta's index finger froze mid-push-up.
"Y-Yes!"
Trunks swallowed nervously.
"If you want to train, why not train with me?"
Vegeta's tone turned sharp.
It was one thing for his son not to train under him, but to ask another Saiyan to be his master?
That was simply unacceptable.
