Chapter 97: Re-Fusion
"You're saying you lost control of your body?"
In the laboratory, Turles looked shocked after hearing Broly's description.
"Yeah! In the Demon Realm when you said your body was acting up and left—when I fought Towa, I suddenly lost body control. But only for an instant!"
Broly detailed his situation to Turles. He deeply trusted Turles's intellect, believing Turles could definitely find the cause.
"I see..." Hearing this, Turles placed his hand on his chin, constantly rubbing it. His face showed a thoughtful expression.
If Broly experienced anything special during that time period, it was only Turles transforming into Super Saiyan.
But how could Turles's transformation affect Broly's body? He'd never heard of ordinary Saiyans transforming into Super Saiyan affecting Legendary Super Saiyans.
"Wait!"
Turles continuously recalled. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, his pupils contracted.
After a long moment, Turles looked seriously at Broly, voice carrying a trace of uncertainty. "Broly, I think we may need to fuse again."
"You found the cause?" Hearing Turles's words, Broly first felt joy. But immediately noticing Turles's expression seemed off, he asked hesitantly, "Is there a problem?"
Turles didn't answer. Just shook his head. "I'm not certain yet. Need to check again. Come on, let's change locations."
After speaking, Turles led the way out.
---
A clearing on Red Stone Planet.
Turles and Broly once again stood shoulder-to-shoulder in a straight line. Their auras began continuously adjusting to the same level.
With their previous experience, they quickly adjusted their ki intensity to match.
The two exchanged glances. Then they began swinging their arms, feet constantly moving closer to each other.
"Fu~sion!"
Both shouted "fusion" simultaneously. Finally, their index fingers connected.
Swish!
That familiar sensation returned. Turles still shielded most of his consciousness, preserving only a portion to fuse with Broly. However, this time he didn't separate his divided consciousness. Instead, he actively followed the fusion's pulling force, merging his consciousness with Broly's.
Whoosh!
A flash of intense light. Turles and Broly's figures disappeared. In their place stood Brules.
Since there were no enemies this time, after appearing, Brules made no movements. Just sat cross-legged on the ground, falling into contemplation.
Meanwhile, Turles and Broly's ki appearing then vanishing caught Goku's attention.
Brules's powerful aura reappearing on Red Stone immediately reminded Goku of watching Turles and Broly battle Frieza from King Kai's planet.
After thinking, Goku exited the gravity room. Ignoring two Saiyans fighting over next turn, Goku directly flew toward Brules's ki signature.
Brules's aura appearing didn't just attract Goku's attention. Every Saiyan who'd learned ki sensing—Nappa, Raditz, Bela, and newcomer Clark—all curiously headed toward Brules's location.
Brules still sat on the ground, continuously sensing this body's abnormalities.
"As expected!"
Before long, Brules's face showed an "I knew it" expression. His mouth corners couldn't help revealing a slight smile.
Turles's guess was correct. The problem stemmed from Turles and Broly's fusion.
Turles had still underestimated the fusion technique's effects.
Fusion didn't just simply merge two people's bodies and souls—it also redistributed both individuals' talents evenly after unfusing.
Meaning part of Turles's mental power would remain in Broly's body. And part of Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline power would remain in Turles's body.
This redistribution provided both with what they individually lacked.
Turles possessed powerful mental strength, but his own natural talent wasn't outstanding.
Meanwhile, Broly—due to ancient Saiyan bloodline power's influence—possessed the Saiyans' strongest natural talent. But he was also affected mentally, easily losing control.
Though with Turles's help, Broly temporarily resolved his mental issues, they weren't completely solved. That's why part of Turles's mental power remained in his body.
This also explained why problems arose when both jointly fought Towa's puppet in the Demon Realm.
Turles—due to this—completely awakened his Saiyan bloodline, thus meeting Super Saiyan transformation conditions.
Meanwhile, Broly was attracted by Turles's Super Saiyan transformation, causing momentary loss of body control.
Because at that moment, Broly could actually also transform into Super Saiyan. His body gave this signal.
After understanding this, Brules's heart completely relaxed. He released a long breath.
Just as Brules wanted to take advantage of this rare transformation to properly adapt to his fused strength, he sensed several ki approaching.
Brules flipped up lithely from the ground, standing and quietly waiting.
The first to arrive was Goku. He flew over explosively fast—surprising even Brules, who sensed his ki.
Because from ki sensing, Brules discovered Goku's progress was simply too fast. Judging by his current battle power, he probably already exceeded 20,000.
How long had passed? Brules clearly remembered when Turles first went to Earth, Goku's battle power was only just over 300. Even now, barely over a year had passed—yet Goku's battle power already exceeded 20,000.
This made Brules somewhat emotional. Truly worthy of Dragon Ball's protagonist. Truly worthy of being Goku—battle power increased incredibly fast.
Brules lamented Goku's rapid battle power increase. But he didn't realize—compared to Goku, he was the most abnormal one.
Never mind Broly, the freak. Just Turles alone—from transmigration until now, barely two years had passed. But look at his current battle power.
Over three million normal state battle power. Over thirty million in humanoid Great Ape form. Under Super Saiyan transformation's 50x multiplier, he even exceeded one hundred fifty million.
Such tremendous improvement—what did Goku's progress count for before him?
While Brules was still lamenting, Nappa's group also rushed over. Seeing Brules's figure, those who'd witnessed Turles and Broly's fusion naturally recognized him. So everyone looked grave, assuming some powerful enemy had appeared.
Only Clark—looking at this tall youth wearing strange clothing who somewhat resembled Turles—had a face full of question marks.
"Boss, is there another enemy?" Goku remained the one who couldn't contain himself. Just landing, he rushed before Brules, eyes shining as he watched him.
For Goku, he wouldn't consider much. As long as he could witness even stronger power—whether friend or enemy—he'd grow excited from his heart. Of course, most enemies ultimately ended as his defeated opponents.
So Brules wasn't surprised by Goku's performance. Just somewhat overwhelmed by Goku's enthusiasm.
Pushing Goku aside with his hand, Brules explained to everyone, "Nothing's wrong. Just had some issues with Broly needing resolution. Problem's solved now."
After speaking, Brules ignored them. Just walked aside, continuing to explore his body's mysteries.
"..." Goku just wanted to challenge Brules. But seeing Brules already closed his eyes, he could only swallow his remaining words, looking at Brules with an uncomfortable expression.
"Hehehe!"
Seeing Goku's expression, Nappa immediately laughed unkindly, teasing Goku. "Kakarot, what did you want to say? Wanted to challenge the boss? Go ahead! I support you this time!"
Nappa had really been tormented by Goku before. Supposedly, young Goku hit his head, losing all Saiyan memories. Plus, growing up on Earth—a peaceful planet—he should least resemble Saiyans.
But in one aspect, Goku was more Saiyan than all other Saiyans—his passion for battle.
So having this opportunity, Nappa naturally wanted to provoke Goku.
But though Goku was simple, he wasn't stupid. Brules clearly had important business. How could he stubbornly charge up challenging Brules?
But unable to fight, he felt uncomfortable all over—especially seeing Brules, this super-strong existence formed by Turles and Broly's fusion.
Watching Nappa's smug appearance, Goku's eyes turned. He immediately thought of an idea. Gaze blazing, he stared at Nappa, inviting, "Nappa, how about we two have a match? It's been ages since we last fought."
"Uh!" Nappa's smile immediately froze. Next second, like someone stepped on his tail, he righteously refused. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
After speaking, without giving Goku time to react, Nappa shot skyward, fleeing.
"Pfft!"
Seeing Nappa's performance, the remaining few couldn't hold back anymore. They directly laughed. But immediately, they also couldn't laugh—because Goku's gaze had landed on them.
"Right, I just remembered—I haven't completed today's training quota! These newcomers are too unreasonable, occupying gravity rooms without freeing them up!"
Raditz reacted fastest. Finding any excuse, he directly left. He'd also been thoroughly demoralized by his brother.
"Uh!" Bela glanced at Raditz's departing back, then at Goku. Wanting to refuse but temporarily finding no suitable reason.
Fortunately, Goku wasn't very interested in Bela. Plus, he knew Bela might become his sister-in-law. So ultimately, he just looked toward Clark.
Clark was also clever. Though not knowing why everyone feared Goku's challenges like tigers, he could tell Goku was extraordinary.
"..."
Just as Clark wanted to speak, Goku interrupted. "You're Clark, right? I see you haven't completely mastered ki control yet. On Red Stone, aside from Boss and Broly, I'm most familiar with ki control. Want me to guide you?"
"This..." Clark could no longer refuse. Could only look toward Bela.
Though being ignored by Goku while others were challenged was painful, Bela still felt somewhat annoyed. But facing Goku's words, she truly couldn't refute them—because this was fact. Finally, she could only nod at Clark extremely reluctantly.
Getting Bela's confirmation, Clark skeptically agreed to Goku's invitation. The two found a spot not far from Brules and began sparring.
The commotion here didn't disturb Brules. Currently, he was still continuously examining his body.
With earlier results, Brules gained deeper understanding of fusion technique. This also gave him a bold idea.
Previously, Turles wanted to find Broly's ancient Saiyan bloodline power to improve overall Saiyan talent. Ultimately, due to fear of this power, he had to abandon the plan. But now fusion gave him new thinking.
If—just if—they had Broly continuously use fusion technique with other Saiyans. Even if other Saiyans lacked Turles's strength, they could continuously dilute Broly's bloodline power.
With Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline influence, these Saiyans' talents should greatly improve. Their growth potential should tremendously increase.
Combined with gravity room assistance, these Saiyans—if not all transforming into Super Saiyans—at minimum could achieve overall normal-state strength improvement like Universe 6's Saiyans.
With these Saiyans diluting Broly's bloodline, Broly could also safely increase battle power. Combined with Merus's mental training method, they might completely resolve Broly's issues.
This way truly killed multiple birds with one stone. Just one thing—felt bad for Broly.
"Sigh!"
Brules sighed. Still wanting to do something, but his expression suddenly changed. His body began distorting. Soon, like being forcibly split apart, next second his figure vanished. Reappearing were Turles and Broly.
"Huh? Why so short this time?"
Turles felt somewhat confused. He felt this fusion time was much shorter. Logically, neither had used power exceeding fusion limits. Their fusion should've lasted thirty minutes.
"Whoa! Broly, what's wrong?" Just as Turles wanted to ask Broly, turning his head, he saw Broly looking at him resentfully.
