"Thud!"
Merus struck again—another palm landing cleanly on Broly's chest.
Broly stumbled backward several steps, staring in bewilderment.
The blow didn't hurt at all… but the technique was incredible. It completely killed his forward momentum and forced him back without inflicting damage.
Broly frowned slightly, genuinely thinking about what had just happened.
Merus lowered his hand with a polite smile, as calm as ever.
"Your movement style is really unusual. You always dodge my attacks," Broly said with honest admiration.
"Mm-hmm," Merus replied lightly, offering no explanation.
He wasn't about to lecture Broly about Ultra Instinct just yet.
In the stands, Jaco and Irikku sat wide-eyed.
They knew Merus was strong—but this strong? They hadn't expected that.
And Broly? He clearly wasn't going all-out yet. The rising energy rippling through the training room made that obvious.
"Let's keep going!" Broly said, excitement bubbling up.
"Of course," Merus answered.
Then—
BOOOOM!
Broly's power surged again, skyrocketing to 10 million. The golden aura around him blazed like a miniature sun.
The training room began to protest:
Metal panels rattled and screechedEmergency lights flickered onThe floor splinteredRailings twisted and bent
The room could withstand ten million… but barely.
Merus's expression tightened ever so slightly. At this rate, the whole place will collapse before Broly even gets serious…
Broly shot forward again, fist cocked back—raw power packed into a single, devastating punch.
But Merus didn't dodge this time.
Just before impact—
He raised his hand.
Pak!
Broly's fist stopped dead, caught in Merus's palm.
No explosion.
No shockwave.
Merus didn't even slide back an inch.
He had simply stopped the blow.
Silence filled the room.
Jaco and Irikku looked like their brains had short-circuited.
And Broly? His eyes gleamed.
"Interesting!"
He flipped backward, landing lightly, heart racing with thrill.
If 10 million isn't enough… I'll push higher!
His aura began to rise again, the room trembling violently—
"Hold on a moment, Broly," Merus said gently.
Broly paused, aura calming a bit. "What?"
"If you increase your power any more, this training room won't survive."
Broly glanced around. The damage was piling up.
"Then… we stop?"
"Of course not. We simply move somewhere sturdier," Merus replied.
Broly's eyes lit up. "Perfect."
🚀 Off to a New Battleground
Merus led Broly to a small Galactic Patrol spacecraft.
Once aboard, he explained they were heading to a solid, lifeless planet built to withstand extreme force.
"One hour flight," Merus added.
"Too slow. I can fly there faster," Broly said bluntly.
Merus smiled. "Sometimes the journey is part of the experience."
Then, almost casually:
"By the way, have you lived on Earth all this time?"
Broly looked confused. "Where else would I have lived? I grew up there."
Merus's eyes narrowed slightly. "Do you remember… anything from before you reached Earth?"
Broly frowned. "No. I was just a baby when I arrived. Old man said I came in a round pod and crashed into the ocean."
Merus studied him quietly.
So it's true. His memories were completely reset…
But compared to the last timeline… this version of Broly was growing even faster.
Then Merus asked softly:
"Do you want to know your past?"
"Obviously," Broly said. "You keep hinting at it!"
Merus sighed lightly and began.
🪐 Broly's Forgotten Origin
According to Galactic Patrol records:
Broly was born on Planet Vegeta.His extraordinary power alarmed King Vegeta.Fearing Broly's potential, the king ordered the infant exiled.He was launched in a pod toward Planet Vampa.
But during the journey, something unexpected happened.
A certain being happened to pass by.
And with a single flick of a finger…
Broly's ship was knocked off course.
The one responsible?
Beerus — the God of Destruction of Universe 7.
Broly blinked. "…He flicked my ship like a toy?"
"Indeed," Merus nodded. "Whether he found it amusing, annoying, or simply acted on whim… only Beerus knows. But because of that flick, you didn't land on Vampa. You landed on Earth instead."
"And if I had landed on Vampa?"
"It's a barren wasteland," Merus said quietly. "No real water, brutal climate, and barely any edible life—aside from tough subterranean insects and eggs."
Broly's face twisted in disgust.
"…So instead of eating bugs, I ended up on Earth with real food."
Merus smiled faintly. "It seems the God of Destruction accidentally did you a favor."
Broly crossed his arms, thinking.
"So that guy… saved me without even meaning to."
