"Hey! You two, get out of there!"
Broly growled from above with a powerful voice.
Without wasting time, he flew over the swarm of spiders and raised his right hand. In his palm, a small white energy ball, the size of a pinky finger, began to condense.
With precision, he launched it toward the center of the spider swarm below.
In that instant, as he watched the energy ball descend, a realization coursed through his body.
He had underestimated his strength.
What a mistake...
Without hesitation, he sped toward Cheelai and Lemo at a velocity far surpassing the falling energy ball.
Like an eagle snatching its prey, he grabbed them both—one in each arm—and rapidly ascended.
But at that very moment...
The energy ball landed in the epicenter of the spider swarm.
"..."
There was a moment of silence.
Then, a blinding flash of light illuminated the entire planet Vampa.
And then came the sound.
BOOOOOOOM!
Finally, the compressed air within the energy ball expanded violently, detonating with the force of thousands upon thousands of nuclear bombs.
It all happened in an instant.
As Broly flew upward with Cheelai and Lemo, he felt a violent blast of air hit his back, forcing him to stabilize mid-flight.
That was close!
The shockwave alone, if he hadn't resisted, would've been enough to launch him out of Vampa's gravitational field.
The explosion unleashed a terrifying shockwave, sweeping across the planet's surface.
The creatures nearest to the blast were instantly turned to ash.
The remaining creatures across the planet trembled in fear as the sky darkened, as if signaling the end of the world.
Hurricanes of unimaginable force began to blow, accompanied by deafening roars echoing across the planet.
Broly's seemingly simple energy ball not only obliterated everything within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers but also triggered devastating earthquakes.
The impact shook the entire planet.
---
After some time.
When the smoke finally cleared, Broly remained suspended in the air.
And what he saw filled him with excitement.
A colossal crater, so deep that its bottom was shrouded in darkness.
The cold wind whistled around him, but his heart burned with pure euphoria.
Hundreds of meters? Kilometers? Tens of thousands of kilometers?
From what he could see, the crater he had created was far larger than the size of Earth.
Do you know what that means?
Earth's diameter is only 12,756 kilometers.
If this had been a smaller planet, it would've been completely destroyed.
Of course, even the massive Vampa hadn't escaped unscathed.
Beyond the crater, the rest of the planet had also suffered catastrophic consequences:
Devastating earthquakes, massive landslides, and total destruction.
Countless creatures perished, as if a mass extinction event had occurred across the planet.
"Good thing I saved them."
Looking at the two small figures squirming in his arms, Broly sighed.
He kept underestimating his own strength.
Upon thinking about it more carefully, it all made sense.
Vegeta, with a power level of 18,000, could destroy Earth without a problem.
Frieza, with a power level of 530,000, had condensed his Death Ball with one finger and destroyed the Saiyans' home planet.
And him?
The Legendary Super Saiyan, born with a power level of 10,000, should've already blown this planet to pieces if he weren't careful.
"T-T-You... who are you...?"
Lemo and Cheelai finally began to recover from the impact.
Although Broly hadn't been affected by the shockwave, they hadn't been so lucky.
Cheelai's hair was completely disheveled, and Lemo's hat had flown off. Both looked like a mess.
If Broly hadn't shielded them, they would've been dead.
Cheelai looked at the endless crater below them, swallowed hard, and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm Broly."
He responded with an expressionless face.
"Y-You're Broly?!"
Cheelai's eyes widened as she pointed at the crater and asked, "D-Did you do this?"
The question seemed obvious.
On this planet, aside from the three of them, who else could have done it?
"Um."
Broly nodded. "I underestimated my own strength. I just wanted to get rid of those insects."
In a monotonous tone, he uttered terrifying words.
"Outrageous!"
Cheelai, upon hearing him, couldn't help but shout.
She didn't know exactly how big the crater was, but it was clearly enormous—so vast that its end and sides couldn't be seen, only complete darkness.
Lemo, a veteran of Frieza's forces, was equally horrified but managed to calm himself enough to think.
With trembling hands, he activated his Scouter.
Bip-Bip
The Scouter immediately emitted an alert.
Startled, Lemo didn't hesitate to rip the device off and throw it far away.
Boom
The Scouter exploded.
"The Scouter… exploded?"
Lemo swallowed hard.
Although he already had an idea of how powerful Broly was, seeing it in action was another thing entirely.
He was more monstrous than any being in Frieza's forces!
"..."
Was that a power detector?
Broly watched indifferently as the Scouter's remains fell into the abyss.
Those things were useless in the world of Dragon Ball.
Cheelai, still in shock, asked, "You're so strong… Why did you save us… and what happened to that old man with white hair?"
"He's dead."
Broly replied calmly.
"I saved you because I need your help to leave Vampa."
"He's… dead?"
Although they had already suspected it in their hearts, hearing the confirmation didn't surprise them much.
Even though Paragus appeared to be Broly's father…
"You just said you need our help to leave planet Vampa?"
"Um."
"..."
Cheelai and Lemo exchanged glances.
"But… our ship was destroyed by you."
Cheelai pointed toward the dark abyss below them, its depth terrifying just to look at.
"Could you at least put us down first? It's too high… and I'm scared…"
