Chapter 527 Joining the Slug Legion and Replacing King Slug! (Part 2)
"Bang!"
The spaceship's surface structure, which had just been repaired, was suddenly blasted open from the inside.
A group of ordinary demon soldiers had no idea what was happening before they were blasted away by the shockwave.
Two figures, one large and one small, shot out from inside the spaceship, accompanied by whooshing and booming sounds.
Those were the sounds of their fists and legs cutting through the air, and the clatter of their flesh against each other.
"Oh no, what's going on? Why are Lord Slug fighting with Lord Broly?"
The demon soldiers, who had once received a favor from Yi Tang, exclaimed in surprise upon recognizing the two figures engaged in battle.
Behind them, through the breach in the spaceship, Metamaga, Paragus, and others quickly emerged.
"Broly saved me."
Dorodabo, who had almost been killed by Slug, said with lingering fear.
"But that kid is too stupid. He shouldn't have talked back to King Slug. He's doomed now."
Medama sighed, saying she was not optimistic about Broly's fate.
"No, my son is very good, he can win."
Paragus showed complete confidence in his son, as he had never heard of King Slug before.
"Ha, you have such confidence because you haven't seen King Slug's true power."
Beside him, Angela instinctively began to mock, thinking that Paragus, this Saiyan, was just a frog in a well, completely unaware of how high the sky was or how thick the earth was.
"If your Saiyan race's Super Saiyans are just legends, then King Slug is a living Namekian legend."
He can be described as a super Namekian who, in his youth, was invincible on Slug, and after leaving Slug, he waged countless wars throughout the universe without ever suffering a defeat. (A strategic retreat does not count as a defeat.)
In comparison, you Saiyans have submitted to the Frost Demons and become their subordinates.
"That's right. Even if your son Broly is the legendary Super Saiyan of your Saiyan race (we don't know it), he still can't beat King Slug."
While Angela and Metamaga were boasting about their king's prowess, Slug in the sky was already bleeding from the wound.
When he made his move, Slug thought he could easily suppress the Saiyan brat who dared to defy him with his superior strength.
However, once the fight actually started, Slug discovered that this was not the case at all, and his attacks were repeatedly parried by Broly.
Broly's attacks were vicious and heavy, striking his face, chest, and joints.
Look, Slug throws another punch, and Broly blocks it with his hands in a cross shape to the side, but he catches the punch firmly with a cross armbar. Then, using the momentum, he spins around and delivers a whip kick, hitting Slug's exposed side of the face.
Slug was kicked away, purple blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. If it weren't for his green skin, he would probably be bruised and battered like Paragus when he sparred with Broly.
But is Slug weak? No, he is not weak. He is indeed as his subordinates say, a formidable warrior in the universe.
However, this Namekian may have relied on sheer numerical strength to overwhelm others in the past.
Now that he's encountered Broly, who isn't afraid of his stats and has higher combat skills, he's left with nothing but getting beaten up.
Just like playing a fighting game, Slug's operating skills are not those of a novice, reaching the level of an average expert. However, when he encounters a top-level micro-management expert, every move he makes is seen through, and all his attacks are easily parried. On the contrary, his opponent can always find an opening and hit him a couple of times from time to time.
Even though the force used wasn't great, it did cause some damage, and the damage continued to decrease. On the other hand, the opponent was still at full health after all this time.
"Do you understand now, Lord Slug? There is a huge gap between you and me. My fighting skills are far superior to yours. If we continue fighting, you will be the one who gets hurt."
"Saiyan brat, I admit you're somewhat skilled, but your strength is utterly lacking. I can miss countless times and get hit by you, but if you miss just once and I land a solid hit, you're finished!"
Broly: "..."
He was using skill to fight his opponent, but it seems to have caused a small misunderstanding.
"Fine, if you can hit me squarely, I'll consider it a loss."
Broly put his hands behind his back.
"What are you doing?"
Slag became wary, wondering what the brat on the other side was up to.
"I've pretty much figured out your fighting style. Now, in order to make you realize the gap between us even more clearly, I've decided to let you fight with your bare hands."
Upon hearing this, Slag was taken aback at first, then his expression turned somewhat grim: "What did you say?"
"Hey, do you mean I don't even need to use my feet? To be honest, it's not impossible, but if I do that, I'll have to raise my qi a bit, and when I hit you, it will hurt you more."
Broly said, as if he were doing it for the other person's own good.
"Ah, you thought that was my full strength just now? I was just playing around with you, but it made you arrogant, you brat. From now on, I won't hold back and will use my full power to kill you."
Slug was getting quite red-hot. In Broly's aura perception, if he was originally a torch, then he was now a campfire, his aura having increased several times over.
Slug vanished instantly.
The next moment, he was in front of Broly and punched him.
Then he smashed Broly's chest open.
But that was just an afterimage.
"Bang!"
Broly appeared above and delivered a high kick, striking Slug in the back of the head.
However, the amount of energy used was too low, and the amplification power was insufficient, so it did not cause any damage.
Curl up, bend your knees, block, bang!
Broly parried Slug's overhead kick with a defensive stance once again.
He flew like a small ball, traveling a great distance before coming to a stop.
Are you injured? No, the force has been neutralized.
"If you don't change your straightforward fighting mindset, you'll never beat me."
Broly offered a friendly reminder, but in response, Slug fired two yellow, spherical energy projectiles.
Upon seeing Broly in the distance, dodging his energy blast, Slug's lips curled into a smile.
"return."
Unlike many people who can use energy blasts but lose control after launching them, Slug has a very strong grasp of energy.
Even energy projectiles that have already been launched can be manipulated with ease, allowing them to change direction and continue their attack.
The energy blast that had been dodged veered off course and silently struck the Saiyan boy in the back.
When Slug was young, he used this trick to kill many powerful enemies.
Now, it's time to let that Saiyan brat who looks down on him see how powerful he is.
And then, that was it. Broly sidestepped again, and the energy blast that came silently from behind was dodged once more.
"Judging from your expression, do you think an attack like that could hit me?"
Broly noticed Slug's expression and asked in surprise.
Slug: "..."
It seems like I'm being looked down upon again.
"You can dodge two, but what about four, six, or eight?"
Slug, somewhat enraged, threw more remotely controlled energy blasts at Broly.
Broly dodged left and right, but as the number of energy blasts increased to more than twenty, dodging became less easy, and he had no choice but to fly upwards.
Suddenly, a swarm of yellow bees appeared in the pitch-black sky, chasing after the Saiyan boy.
"Hahaha, run away, run away! No matter where you run, my attacks will not stop chasing you until you are exhausted and hit. That will be the time when you are seriously injured."
Slug watched as the Saiyan boy flew into the black haze, seemingly trying to evade his energy blasts by obscuring his vision, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Huh, really? That thing is that powerful?"
Suddenly, a questioning voice came from below.
"Of course, that's my signature move..."
Slag answered instinctively, but immediately realized something was wrong.
Looking down, I saw Broly.
But Broly is here, so who is his energy blast chasing?
"Since this is Lord Slug's signature move, then Lord Slug, please experience it for yourself!"
As Broly spoke, he unleashed a powerful kick that sent Slag flying.
In the black haze, Broly, who was being pursued, fell in the direction that Slug had flown up.
Upon reaching Slug, it transformed into a puddle of steaming water and poured it over him.
Behind them, energy blasts resembling tiny yellow bees tracked Broly's aura and shot towards him.
"Oh no!"
Slug realized something was wrong, but it was too late to undo his move.
"Boom!"
The black smog was blasted open, revealing the starry sky that should have been behind it.
"Hey, Angela, stop bragging. It looks like King Slug has blown himself up."
Dorodabo reminded his companions.
Angela, Metamaga, and Paragus then looked up at the sky together.
"Damn it, damn it..."
Slug was not killed by his own energy blast, but his clothes were torn to shreds and he suffered injuries of varying degrees throughout his body.
One of the Namekian tentacles on his head was blown off, and purple blood flowed down from his head, making him look extremely disheveled.
"I told you, only you will get hurt."
Broly crossed his arms in front of him; his fight with Slug was less of a fight and more of a one-sided bullying.
Slug's aura perception was so poor that he didn't even notice that he had used a water elemental clone to distract the opponent's energy blast.
He managed to sneak over while remaining invisible, and even managed to send the other person flying, getting hit by his own tracking energy blast.
Now that things have come to this, Broly felt that even the most stubborn person should be able to see the difference between himself and Broly.
"Angira, Metamaga, Dorodapo, what are you three doing?"
Instead of continuing the attack on Broly, Slag addressed the three officers below him.
"Ah, Lord Slug, we did nothing."
The three of them, Medama and his companion, quickly replied.
"Did I tell you not to do anything? Hurry up and kill that Saiyan kid's father next to you!"
Slug gave the order directly, which made Broly's eyes widen, and he subconsciously looked down in the direction of Paragus.
Just as Broly was distracted, Slug, who was already prepared, launched a sneak attack. An energy beam shot out from his hand, directly blasting Broly from the sky to the ground.
On the ground, Metamaga and the others witnessed this scene. Paragus called out his son's name with concern, and then looked angrily at the Namekians above who had taken the opportunity to ambush his son.
"Slug, you bastard, you're absolutely despicable!"
"Hmph, in a life-or-death battle, there is only life or death, no such thing as despicable. Medamaja, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to kill you all afterward?"
Angela, Metamaga, and Dorodapo exchanged glances and then launched an attack on Paragus, who was standing next to them.
"We apologize, but we dare not disobey King Slug's orders."
"Yes, Paragus, you'd better just accept your fate and die."
"Take this punch."
Behind him, Dorodabo could have easily launched a sneak attack, but he deliberately warned him before throwing a punch.
Paragus was suddenly surrounded and attacked by three men. When the other ordinary soldiers were about to help, Angela waved them away, saying, "Why are you interfering? Do you think the three of us can't beat you?"
In the sky, Slag clenched his fist, as if holding back a bowel movement, and began to gather his strength: "Damn it, they actually made me use this move!"
Slug's body rapidly expanded. Giant growth was a racial technique he developed as a Namekian, which could amplify his power dozens of times.
But this approach will accelerate his aging, which is undoubtedly a huge price to pay for Slug, who is already in his twilight years and whose life is nearing its end.
Broly was knocked to the ground by Slug, and soon he flew out of the crater created by the impact. He ignored Slug, who was growing to gigantic size, and turned his gaze towards his father.
Just as he looked over with murderous intent in his eyes, the scene he saw stunned him: his father was actually fighting back and forth with Metamarja and the other two.
If Broly, Metamaga, and the other two hadn't actually fought, one might have believed the intense, evenly matched battle.
This fake fight was incredibly realistic. In terms of acting skills, Broly felt that the three of them, Medama and his companion, might not be any worse than himself.
Broly, this is the only thing we can do: ensure your father's safety until you and King Slug are defeated...
When they realized that the other two were holding back, the three of them worked together in perfect harmony, intentionally holding back their attacks on Paragus.
Of course, if Broly hadn't demonstrated strength on par with Slug, they certainly wouldn't be on par with Paragus right now.
However, this is all the three of them can do. As for anything more, such as teaming up with Broly to fight King Slug, that's something they can't even dream of.
The powerful impression Slug had left on them was too deep. Even though Slug was extremely brutal, the three of them, including Metamaga, did not have the courage to resist him.
Of course, seeing a glimmer of hope for a successful rebellion, the three of them did have the courage to back down a bit.
"Kindness begets kindness; there are still more good people than bad in the world. However, there are also those who completely misunderstand my good intentions!"
Seeing that his father was alright, Broly turned his attention back to the gigantic Slug.
"This form may reduce my speed, but it will increase my attack range. Saiyan brat, let's see how you dodge this!"
After growing to its gigantic size, Slug opened his mouth, and energy gathered within it, intending to destroy Broly and the area in his direction.
"Qi Sword"
Broly conjured a pair of swords made of highly condensed energy in his hand and flew towards Slug's barrage of verbal energy.
He unleashed his aura, and Slug's verbal attacks were plundered by his aura as soon as they reached him, flowing into the swords in his hands.
The air sword in his hand grew larger and longer, until it reached Slug, where it had become a forty-meter-long air sword, creating a huge sword flower in front of Slug.
Slug's body was completely unimpeded, and he was directly slashed past by the highly condensed energy sword.
"How could I...?"
Feeling his life rapidly slipping away, Slug could hardly believe it. He tried to activate the Namekian regeneration ability, but with his head already separated from his neck, how could he possibly control his body?
From the moment Slug grew to gigantic size and spewed a barrage of verbal attacks at Broly, to the moment Broly conjured a sword of energy and killed him, only a very short time had passed, and throughout it all, Broly's hair remained black.
By the time the others reacted, Broly had already fired an energy blast at Slug's remains, completely obliterating the cosmic overlord, leaving not a trace. (See Future Trunks's destruction of Frieza for reference.)
"King Slug has been killed."
The ordinary soldiers of the Slug Legion were gripped by a strange panic.
Paragas also stopped, and the three of them, including Metamaga, looked at each other in bewilderment.
They'd barely started their performance when it was already over?
The speed was so fast that the three demon cadres, who were eager to showcase their acting skills, were somewhat taken aback.
"Oh, are we still going to fight?"
Dorodapo asked the question.
*Smack!*
Then, he received a slap on the back of the head from Medamaja, who jumped up.
"Fight my ass! You want to die, but I don't."
Medamaja wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thankful that he hadn't actually obeyed orders to kill Paragus.
This was a choice he made after seeing Broly take a fatal blow for Dorodabo, and as a fellow Legion officer, he felt a sense of shared sorrow.
