Seeing what was happening, Broly quickly understood: they were part of Frieza's forces.
Lemo and Cheelai must have detected the distress signal sent by Paragus' spaceship and followed it to Vampa.
If the course of history hadn't changed, they would've found Paragus and Broly there and recruited them into Frieza's forces.
!
As Broly moved toward the scene, a thought crossed his mind.
He abruptly stopped mid-air and descended to the ground.
Why should he save Paragus?
.....
In the distance…
An elderly Paragus, with white hair and beard, was running desperately as a spider-like creature chased him.
"Why are you running?! Fight it!"
Cheelai, panting, shouted as she fired her ray gun. But it was obvious the weapon was useless against the creature.
"Saiyan! Don't you have a power level of 4,200? Go kill that spider!"
Lemo raised his voice, equally frustrated.
Paragus felt humiliated hearing that.
He hadn't trained in years.
Among the Saiyans still alive in Universe 7, he was undoubtedly the most useless.
How could he face such a monster?
"BROLY! BROLY!"
This was all he could do: desperately scream his son's name.
"You two, shout with me!"
Cheelai, gasping, asked breathlessly, "W-Who is B-Broly?"
Without hesitation, Paragus kept shouting Broly's name, and Lemo and Cheelai reluctantly joined in.
But Broly didn't appear.
Instead, their combined shouting attracted two more monsters. Now they were surrounded, facing attacks from three sides.
"Look what you've done! And your so-called son hasn't even shown up!" Cheelai put her gun away in frustration.
Lemo, equally annoyed, couldn't help but complain, "How have you even survived on this planet if you can't kill a monster like that?!"
He was exhausted, his physical strength rapidly diminishing. After all, he wasn't young anymore.
"..."
Paragus clenched his teeth, nervous.
How could he know what was going on?
Usually, just calling out would bring Broly running. But for some reason, that wasn't happening today.
For the past ten years, it had been clear that nothing on Vampa posed a threat to Broly.
Paragus was certain of that.
So why wasn't he showing up now?
A bad feeling started creeping into his mind.
This anxiety made him lose his footing, and he tripped over a rock, tumbling to the ground.
The monsters, seeing him fall, wasted no time pouncing on him.
Paragus tried to get up, but he couldn't match the creatures' speed. Terrified, he pulled the remote for Broly's collar from his pocket and was about to press the button.
But before he could, one of the monsters grabbed him and flung him into the air.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!"
The remote fell from his hands, and Paragus screamed in terror.
"WHERE ARE YOU, BROOOOOOLYYYYYY?!"
Cheelai and Lemo, horrified, watched the scene as they ran, terror etched on their faces.
But they couldn't stop. Their only option was to keep running, trying to escape.
Soon, Paragus' desperate screams turned into cries of pain.
"*BROLYYYYY!! BROLYYYYYYY!! BROLYYYYYYYYY!!"
"...."
And then, suddenly, the screaming stopped.
In an instant, the three monsters tore Paragus' body apart and devoured him.
Once satiated, the monsters turned their attention to Cheelai and Lemo, quickly chasing after them.
.....
"It's over…"
From a distance, Broly arrived with a leap.
He landed with such force that the ground trembled, creating a massive crater where Paragus had died.
He briefly glanced at a severed arm lying on the ground but paid it no mind.
Calmly, he walked to the side and picked up the fallen remote.
"..."
He observed it for a few seconds before crushing it in his hand, reducing it to a pile of scrap.
"It's better this way… that he died here."
That was his thought.
Finally, he had regained his freedom.
Paragus had always been an obstacle.
A significant one.
Even in his Wrathful form, that damned collar controlled him.
How absurd!
How could something so insignificant control his immense power?
In his Wrathful form, Broly could suppress Vegeta in his Super Saiyan God state, and yet this thing held him back.
Ridiculous!
However, the idea of getting rid of Paragus wasn't new. He had considered it long before.
But, no matter how much he hated him, a part of him held back.
After all, DNA doesn't lie: Paragus was still his father.
Broly wasn't willing to kill him with his own hands.
Fortunately, this time, these creatures had done it for him.
Sure, if they had joined Frieza's forces, they might have survived.
But even that was doubtful.
If Frieza intended to unleash Broly's full potential, he would've eventually killed Paragus anyway.
In every scenario, Paragus was destined to die.
There was no escape.
From Broly's perspective, this was the best outcome.
No conspiracies, no deceptions.
Besides, Paragus' final actions left Broly with no regrets.
Knowing his purpose, Paragus had still tried to drag him into his revenge plans.
Ja. Pathetic
Broly turned without looking back.
He unleashed a powerful burst of Ki from his body, causing the crater beneath him to collapse further.
With one swift movement, he launched himself into the sky, leaving everything behind without a hint of nostalgia.
---
As he flew through the air, he looked around.
After a while, he spotted the figures of Cheelai and Lemo.
Those two are still useful.
Saiyans have few flaws, but one of the most significant is their inability to survive in space.
This limitation affected Saiyans in several ways.
Both their fighting style and their mobility.
Unless they were willing to die along with their enemy, Saiyans rarely caused irreparable damage to the planets they fought on.
And while they were war machines, traveling without the ability to survive in space or operate a spaceship was extremely inconvenient.
That's why Lemo and Cheelai were crucial.
However, the two had no idea what was going through Broly's mind.
In their desperation, they had stumbled into the nest of one of those giant spiders.
The number of creatures chasing them had gone from three… to dozens… to hundreds.
For people without combat skills, escaping that situation was practically impossible.
