A gloomy unease was suspended throughout the whole universe. Many emperors and True Emperors in power were gathering their forces and prepared for an incoming war. Their eyes focused entirely on Exousia's actions, afraid that they were the next ones targeted.
After they got the news that Broly and his elite troop had returned unscathed, they became even more wary of offending them in any way.
It was true that the forces of Exousia only stretched out to the Milky Way and its neighbor the Andromeda Galaxy, but it was undeniable that King Broly, on his own, was a force to be reckoned with.
He had ended Solutus and everything that he had built in the last few hundred years. Broly ended this man's whole career because Solutus had dared to lay a finger on one of Broly's wives.
Obviously, they were only afraid of King Broly and maybe the other higher ups that were always at Broly's side, but no matter how strong he and the other 7 were, no one thought that Exousia would be able to conquer the universe and the reasons for that were simple.
The one that was truly stronger than the True Emperors and able to instill fear was Broly himself, because of that they felt that their position was still somewhat secure.
There were always ambitious people that wanted to be rulers and the present emperors would hardly voluntarily give their position and wealth to Broly only because he was stronger than them.
He was only one man, albeit strong, he wouldn't be able to cause a downfall to alliances that had influences in numerous galaxies. Even if he attacked one emperor, couldn't the others just target his remaining forces and kill Exousia's weaker troops one by one?
With the limited amount they know Broly had, he would only be able to stabilize 8 galaxies in total and even that was a stretch. Broly would be able to place one strong warrior in one galaxy to govern, considering that these were also capable of ruling, Exousia could indeed establish an empire that enveloped 8 galaxies.
Expanding further than that was highly unlikely, of course, that would only be true in case that no other Super Saiyan appeared in their ranks.
Even now they heard about other Super Saiyans on a small planet called Earth. Fortunately, they seemed to be hostile towards King Broly, however, the fact that they would never join his ranks could be doubted. There was a real possibility that more Super Saiyans would appear in the future.
For this reason, a network between the emperors and the True Emperors was being established in order to plan to dwindle down Broly's force as much as they could.
If they could kill the other Saiyans before they grew in strength, they would only have to hide from Broly, but they weren't concerned in that regard. The universe was vast and needed a long time to be traversed. If they had enough time to hide, even with his ability to teleport, he wouldn't be able to find them.
If they started an attack with enough people, there was no way for Broly to hunt down every single one of them. The possibility of casualties in the ranks of emperors were high, but every one of them were optimistic that it wouldn't be them.
Of course, they didn't know about his ability to control other people and read the minds of even strong warriors. If they knew maybe they would think twice about antagonizing him, however, with ignorance many resolved themselves to nip this potential threat in the bud.
They even requested the righteous factions that they had hostility with to join them. Although the righteous factions were wary of King Broly, his actions weren't unjustifiably and could be said to have made justice a service.
His actions were extreme at times but all the force Broly had targeted were generally tyrannical emperors or assassins, not something the righteous ones would stick their heads out for.
Besides they had a reputation to hold up and couldn't just attack someone that was mostly known as a savior of many. All kinds of reasons made them apprehensive of showing hostility towards Exousia.
Indeed, they feared that Exousia would go out of their control once they gathered enough strength but if King Broly never intended to attack the innocent and righteous ones then wouldn't attacking and antagonizing him now, make them potential targets as well?
Even if they killed everyone except for Broly, would he leave them be? Obviously not, he killed several emperors because they tried to assassinate him and after he suffered, he took on the most powerful organization in the entire universe and won!
It was clear that he was someone who would take revenge no matter what. How long would they need to hide for? What would happen to new criminal scum that arose when they were absent? Why should they help their enemies if only those emperors were being targeted?
After getting their thoughts in order and calmed their fear, the righteous factions publicly declared to not intervene with Broly's actions, if they were justifiable. Even if his actions weren't justifiable and somewhat extreme, they would probably turn a blind eye towards it.
After getting this response the emperors were outraged and insulted them as fools who couldn't see the full picture.
Of course, there were some other emperors that didn't even consider to be hostile and personally flew towards Broly to declare their subservience. They thought that they could save their skin if they served Broly's order.
Some were deeply ashamed that after all those years they would have to bow their head, but they were clear on the situation ahead.
Those were the ones that resided close to the Milky Way and would be targeted next if King Broly wanted to expand his influence. Subservience would be their only way to not be killed by the 'righteous' Exousians.
While the higherups of this universe were in emotional distress, Broly laid down in his bed with his wives lying next to him.
After returning he had immediately thrown himself into bed with his wives and didn't come out of his room for the next couple days.
He was relaxing after the high intensity battles, he had fought in the last few weeks. There were some things he had done leisurely which would be helpful for the future as well. As he went through the information of Pera's history and the island once again, he found some things that would prove useful to preserve the loyalty of the future Saiyans that would enter.
This ancient civilization had some profound understanding of the soul and had something called soul contracts, very similar to what Broly did with Cooler, but instead of controlling them it would show if malicious thoughts towards Broly arose. There was also something else which disturbed him greatly that was only mentioned briefly as this information was only meant for citizens of Pera…
4 days after he had returned, he finally got out and headed for the docking station of Exousia. This station was only for the VIPs. He saw a gigantic ship landing and open up their door. A staircase extended to the ground and several figures walked out. The other S-fighters had also sensed their arrival and came to greet them as well.
Zinjo, the city lord, Blitz, Yenari, Vara, Violet, Atrog…
All kinds of familiar faces greeted the S-Fighters. Zangya rushed to the city lord and they hugged each other for quite some time.
The Hera race didn't have many people left that survived, but the city lord did his best to locate the roaming clansmen and bring them back.
The reunion between the former rivals was warm and hearty. Laughter filled the plaza. Taro happily buried Vara in kisses. He wasn't able to see his girlfriend for some time, so he was thrilled that she would now live here.
Broly quickly led them into a restaurant, called 'Hell', that was near the castle. It had excellent food from earth and was probably Broly's favorite in the whole city. Due to the Kings endorsement, it was popular to say the least.
Broly obviously had a permanent room in case he wanted to dine there. He led his friends inside and a feast was quickly prepared for them.
The races of Perditus had long chosen to ally themselves with the Saiyans, who were now called Exousians. The arrival of Zinjo and the other Myrmidons was already planned for a few months now, but it was delayed for quite some time as they had to pick up the other races.
There were many strong bandits and their engines of the other races seemed to have been damaged in a fight with them. Good thing was that the Myrmidons were strong fellows, especially Zinjo was a formidable force.
If he wanted to, he could probably become an emperor or even a True Emperor, comparable to a high level Ascended Super Saiyan.
Blitz and Yenari were powerful as well, they weren't chosen to be trained under the city lord without rhyme and reason.
Most of them even began to lead their races. This was especially true for the powerful prodigy Zinjo. No one dared to disregard him anymore and he held a high reputation amongst his race.
The planets for each race was already prepared for their arrival. They had terraformed the individual planet, so each race was able to move in any time.
They were extremely moved with how Broly greeted them and the unbelievable help he provided them. They had to spent most of their time in their ship or stranded on a harsh planet or searching for one of their kind.
Now they would be able to settle down and create a home. They had heard about Broly's famous reputation of the general populace and knew that this would bring him some trouble.
He already told them long ago that he wanted to conquer the entire universe and they were determined to be part of his grand mission.
