Chapter 27: Fighting Broly Again
Destructo Disc!
The technique Broly unleashed was precisely the Destructo Disc that Turles had recreated from Krillin's attack. Turles probably never imagined the move he'd taught Broly would one day be used against him. Talk about a boomerang effect.
The rapidly spinning Destructo Disc possessed unparalleled cutting power. Even Frieza had been sliced in half by this technique during his battle with Goku on Namek.
Though Turles had lost all rationality, bestial instinct still made him sense the threat from that small spinning disc.
Turles's feet stomped heavily on the ground. The surface immediately cracked, creating a massive chasm. Yet his enormous body shot skyward with extreme speed, barely dodging Broly's Destructo Disc.
After landing, Turles roared skyward, fists continuously pounding his chest. Then his red pupils coldly observed Broly. His mouth slowly opened wide. Terrifying energy began gathering within.
Sensing that energy blast's fluctuations, Broly didn't dare be careless. He began utilizing his body's advantage, constantly flickering around Turles's massive form.
Though Great Ape transformation gave Saiyans a tenfold power boost, the enormous physique also made them living targets. Current Turles faced exactly this predicament.
Broly repeatedly attempted approaching Turles's tail, but Turles protected it with unexpected vigilance. Despite his massive size, his tail remained agile, continuously evading Broly's attacks.
After another failed attempt, Broly's movement showed a momentary pause. Possessing bestial intuition, Turles seized that instant. His thick tail swept across with horrifying force, directly striking Broly and sending him flying.
Broly's body retreated uncontrollably. Surrounding buildings continuously shattered as he passed through, leaving behind human-shaped holes.
After piercing through dozens of structures, Broly's body finally stopped. Even he had blood trickling from his mouth.
Seeing the annoying "fly" struck by his attack, Turles couldn't help roaring again. The beam from his mouth continuously swept everything around him. Soon, only ruins remained!
"Turles!" Broly couldn't restrain himself any longer, shouting Turles's name loudly.
Broly's voice reached Turles's ears. His destructive rampage paused momentarily. His red pupils flashed with brief struggle before being overwhelmed by savagery again.
Though only a brief instant, Broly still saw hope. He charged at Turles once more, continuously calling his name near his ears.
The buzzing sound in his ears made Turles even more irritable. He couldn't help swatting directly. After Broly dodged, the slap struck Turles's own face.
After receiving that slap, Turles seemed dazed by his own blow. The savagery in his eyes slowly dispersed, leaving only confusion.
"Turles!"
Broly hadn't noticed the change in Turles's eyes, still shouting his name.
"Enough, Broly! Your shouting is giving me a headache!" A thunderous voice rang out, making Broly's ears ring.
Broly ignored the discomfort, looking at Turles's red pupils with delighted surprise: "Turles, have you recovered?"
"Mm. Recovered." Turles subconsciously lowered his voice, then added somewhat depressedly: "Slapped myself awake."
Though Turles had lowered his voice, to Broly it still sounded like thunder exploding beside him. So Broly discreetly retreated some distance.
"So Turles, can you change back?" Broly asked, looking at the giant beast before him.
"I don't know. Let me try." With that, Turles closed his eyes.
Regarding his current state, Turles wasn't entirely clear either. Logically, he hadn't received moonlight exposure, hadn't been irradiated by Blutz Waves, so Great Ape transformation shouldn't be possible. Yet he'd not only successfully transformed but also maintained rationality in that state—though admittedly, he'd slapped that rationality back into himself.
After closing his eyes, Turles began carefully examining his body's changes. He suddenly discovered that in Great Ape state, cellular activity was ten times his normal state. This made him understand why Saiyans gained a tenfold power boost after transformation.
Under Great Ape transformation, every cell in his body seemed to contain infinite energy. Not only supporting the enormous body's activity requirements but also enhancing physical qualities from within—both bodily strength and ki intensity.
Turles was startled by the immense energy hidden within his body. He suddenly felt all Saiyans had failed to truly develop their bodies' hidden tremendous energy. Simple Great Ape transformation wasn't enough to justify calling Saiyans a warrior race. But if they could channel this hidden energy—even just a trace—Saiyans would become the entire universe's most terrifying species.
Turles continued probing his body. His mental power gradually approached his tail region. He remembered using mental force to continuously stimulate his tail, which had allowed him to initiate Great Ape transformation without a full moon.
Turles carefully extended mental force to contact his tail. But the moment contact occurred, he felt like floodgates opening. Energy within his body began continuously draining out—through the tail.
Externally, Turles's body began slowly shrinking. Brown fur across his body gradually retracted inside. His massive ape face began contracting, gradually recovering his original appearance.
Having reverted to normal, Turles stood shirtless, looking utterly exhausted, barely supporting his own body.
"Broly!" Turles called out weakly.
This was the first time since recovering from his initial transmigration injuries that Turles felt powerless. This familiar yet strange sensation left him both nostalgic and somewhat uneasy.
Broly descended, quickly supporting Turles while looking at him with concern—never having seen him in such a state.
Seeing Broly's worried expression, Turles smiled faintly: "Help me back in a moment. Don't worry about other matters for now. If Belus comes looking, have your father handle it. Don't respond to anything. Wait until I wake..."
Before finishing, Turles's head tilted, collapsing directly into Broly's arms, losing consciousness.
When Turles regained consciousness, he was already fully submerged in recovery fluid, exhaled gas continuously producing bubbles through the oxygen mask.
Glub glub glub!
Hearing movement, Karl immediately pressed the drainage button. As fluid receded, Turles's body appeared before everyone.
Removing the oxygen mask, Turles stepped naked from the healing tank, grabbing nearby clothes.
After dressing, Turles ignored everyone's curious gazes, instead carefully sensing his internal condition. Moments later, a smile curved his lips.
Though this incident had been somewhat accidental, his body's cells had become even more active. His ki had also increased slightly. By his estimate, his battle power now approached 100,000. Within the Seventh Universe, he could be considered a mid-tier expert.
The moment Turles opened his eyes, Paragus asked urgently: "How are you, Turles? Why could you perform Great Ape transformation without a full moon?"
This urgency was understandable. For Saiyans, Great Ape transformation was both a combat power enhancement and a life-saving method.
On planets without full moons, Saiyans typically created artificial moons to satisfy transformation conditions. But not all Saiyans could master this ability.
If Turles's method for transforming without a full moon could be utilized by all Saiyans, the species' power increase would be tremendous. As the future Saiyan King, though he hadn't found many Saiyans yet, Paragus was already planning ahead.
Regarding this point, Turles had no intention of concealment. Though Great Ape transformation provided power amplification, post-transformation limitations were too great. Turles didn't favor this ability. For transformation, Super Saiyan was better—not only providing 50x power boost but also maintaining good looks afterward. After all, strength was temporary, but handsomeness was forever. So Turles meticulously explained all his discoveries and hypotheses to Paragus.
After hearing Turles's description, Paragus fell into contemplation.
As one of the rare intellectuals among Saiyans, Paragus possessed knowledge far exceeding other Saiyans. This was evident from his creating a control device for Broly even on the barren Vampa. Though now he was single-mindedly focused on the gravity chamber.
From Turles's discoveries, Paragus easily reached a conclusion—this method wasn't suitable for all Saiyans. Mental power alone blocked most Saiyans.
Seeing Paragus's disappointment, Turles asked puzzled: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Paragus explained the issues he'd identified, then educated Turles on some research data from back then.
Apparently, on Planet Vegeta, Paragus had joined a research division called the "Saiyan Rise Plan." King Vegeta had established it upon taking the throne.
Young King Vegeta had been worthy of his royal status. Immediately upon ascending, he'd gathered the few Saiyan researchers and established this division, aiming to enhance Saiyans' base combat power through technological means. This would allow greater strength post-Great Ape transformation, even proposing a "Great Ape Legion" plan to resist Frieza's rule.
Paragus had been attracted by King Vegeta's charisma then, joining the research division and quickly demonstrating excellent scientific talent. So Paragus was intimately familiar with Saiyan data.
