His gaze from the darkness was like a torch—burning and searing, making Raditz's expression change.
Slowly, the figure was revealed. It was a black-haired man with his upper body bare, tall and lean, wearing a metal crown.
Broly!
This guy was Broly!
The legendary Super Saiyan! Raditz was shocked.
There was only one legendary warrior born every 1,000 years, with unimaginable potential for increasing combat power. And he was the only one who could control massive muscle growth while maintaining extreme speed!
But why had Broly appeared here? And why had he become a fighter in this arena?
Many questions swirled in his mind as Raditz took a proper stance for the first time and became serious.
Suddenly, the entire atmosphere changed.
Everyone's breathing quickened, but the thunderous shouts returned to silence as overwhelming pressure covered the entire fighting arena.
"How can there be other Saiyans we missed?" Zangya leaned on the railing, looking at Broly curiously while sensing the strength of his aura.
Zangya couldn't feel the massive energy hidden within Broly's body, but seeing Raditz's expression, she grew worried too.
It was the first time she'd seen Raditz look genuinely concerned.
Please don't let anything happen! Zangya thought silently.
At this moment, the host waved his arms: "The challenger from the Southern Galaxy, the ace fighter of our arena—Broly is here! Will Raditz win his ninth match, or will Broly end his streak? Let's wait and see!"
"YEAH!" The audience roared.
"Hey, why do I feel like the atmosphere's wrong? It's kind of cold."
"Me too—gives me chills. Completely different from before."
Even veteran spectators who'd watched countless matches agreed: "Yeah, this battle's probably beyond our imagination."
While they discussed, the fighting arena deployed transparent energy protection walls around the massive stands. This had never happened before!
The host explained: "For everyone's safety, please don't leave the protected area without permission, or you'll be responsible for the consequences!" He looked around, finally settling on Raditz and Broly who faced each other silently. Breaking into a cold sweat and swallowing hard, he shouted tremblingly: "Now the match officially begins!"
It started!
Raditz struck first. With a flick of his hand, a ki blast flew out and exploded thunderously, filling the entire space with smoke and dust. Broly's location was also covered in thick smoke.
Behind the massive shock and smoke, Broly remained motionless, quietly waiting for the smoke to clear as everything returned to silence.
No effect?!
Raditz pushed out with both hands, launching a brilliant shock wave several times larger than his previous ki blast. The flashing energy beam shot forward!
"Aren't you going to counter?" Raditz shouted as red light suddenly appeared around his body.
This time Broly moved. His expression turned ferocious as he condensed a green energy sphere with one hand. At first it was only head-sized, but soon grew to the diameter of a person.
The two energy streams rushed toward each other roaring, clashing for what felt like an eternity. The dangerous friction created tremors, until finally the whistling white light exploded into an annihilating flash. Fragmented fireballs rained down one after another onto the arena floor.
After the rising flames dissipated completely, both fighters shouted simultaneously and charged toward each other. Their figures became blurs as red light radiated around Raditz's body. After several collisions, he pulled back some distance.
Raditz tried a psychic attack, but Broly was unmoved. He roared into the air, energy surging! A massive resonance reverberated throughout the fighting arena—the shock of colliding and exploding forces. Even the ground trembled slightly as the audience shouted in panicked excitement.
The crowd yelled, shocked by such a spectacle.
"AHHHHH!" Broly erupted with power, clearly growing angry!
BANG!
His feet crushed the ground as Broly charged forward!
Explosively, he threw a bone-chilling punch at Raditz. Raditz didn't dare be careless and caught it with both hands, feeling a biting cold in his palms—as if a frozen snake had penetrated into his blood and bone marrow! The punch was so powerful it knocked Raditz back dozens of meters.
"Damn it! Try this!" Raditz yelled excitedly. A loud, sharp sound shattered the soil layer as he prepared to teleport, but a heavy leg came flying at his face with a "SMACK."
Once again, Raditz went flying and hit the ground hard.
"Huh... so fast."
Raditz stood up quickly and took a deep breath.
"Broly really is powerful. Worthy of the Legendary Super Saiyan. In terms of bloodline, he's stronger than Goku! If he were allowed to reach his full potential, it's hard to imagine how far he could go."
In fact, Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan form could fight four or five regular Super Saiyans simultaneously and win with overwhelming advantage—that explosive power was unstoppable. Except for his uncontrollable violent consciousness, his strength was nearly perfect.
Such an opponent awakened Raditz's fighting spirit and determination to win!
"Broly, I don't know why you're here, but I'm eager to have a real fight with you! Come on!"
Raditz tore off his coat, revealing a solid, muscular body that made people's blood pump with excitement.
Broly's expression didn't change at all. Deep hostility still lingered in his purple-black pupils as his anger accumulated layer by layer.
"AHAH!"
He suddenly charged. Raditz felt the pressure, gritted his teeth, and rushed forward. Their fists collided, and when their strength was unleashed, energy ran wild. Countless sharp cracking sounds surrounded them—the sound of earth being shattered.
The solid arena floor collapsed as rubble and ground-breaking debris spread out around them.
An energy sphere arrived instantly. At the moment of their fist collision, Broly had condensed a green energy bullet with his other hand. He opened his palm and sent it toward Raditz's abdomen, cutting off all of Raditz's senses in an instant—it was too fast! He didn't even have time to see it clearly.
Broly's energy sphere hit him in the lower abdomen, spiraled around several times, then shot forward.
Raditz resisted the energy sphere with a psychic barrier and was violently thrown backward by the force! While dispersing the impact, his feet embedded into the ground!
Deep marks were carved into the arena floor as stone chips and soil clods scattered along his path. The massive energy forced Raditz to keep retreating—he was about to hit the edge.
Under normal circumstances, when the power gap was this huge, it was almost impossible to stop...
"AHHHHH!!!"
Suddenly, golden light burst forth. Dazzling radiance scattered far and wide as his tail emerged and his aura shot straight into the sky.
Super Saiyan!
After transforming, Raditz deflected the energy blast, causing it to hit the protective wall with a thunderous crash. The powerful force shook the barrier so violently that cracks spread across it, nearly shattering completely.
"He forced Raditz to go Super Saiyan? This guy named Broly is that strong?!"
Zangya was stunned.
