Chapter 527: Joining the Slug Corps, Replacing King Slug!

~15 min read 2,889 words

"Kaguga, how is the spaceship's situation?"

"Slug King, the spaceship is severely damaged; it may not be possible to repair it on this planet."

"Hm?"

Seeing Slug's dangerous gaze look over, Kaguga hurriedly said again: "However, the planet transformation equipment is undamaged. As long as we transform this planet into a spaceship, we will have the ability to continue sailing in the universe, and when we reach some high-tech planets, we should be able to obtain the corresponding materials to repair the spaceship."

"Then how long does it take to transform this planet?"

"Based on our previous estimates of this planet's size, it should take one month's time."

At the side, a short-statured figure of the same race as Kaguga spoke.

"One month is too long; it needs to be faster."

"Ah, this, if the construction period is shortened, it might cause the planet transformation to..."

The speaker, the next moment, had his chest pierced through by an energy beam.

"I am not discussing, but ordering. Kaguga, you say, how long does transforming the planet take?"

"I only need half a month."

His clansman killed, Kaguga gave an answer in some panic.

"Hm?"

Seeing Slug King still somewhat dissatisfied, he hurriedly corrected himself to ten days' time, only then letting the brutally tempered Slug sit back down on the main seat.

"Then I give you ten days. After ten days, I need this planet to begin sailing in the universe."

Broly, who had followed into the spaceship's interior, saw this scene and did not speak, because he was unfamiliar with the people on the spaceship, and even more did not know who had died.

"Let's go, we should go work too."

Medamaga gave a greeting and walked out a step ahead.

"What do I need to do?"

As a newcomer to the Slug Corps, Broly asked directly.

"First, is to kill off that group of monsters."

Arriving outside, looking in the direction Medamaga's finger pointed.

Broly saw, in the distance, a migrating Vampa Spider swarm.

"May I ask, why do we need to kill off that Vampa Spider swarm?"

"Vampa Spiders, is that what those monsters are called? Forget it, those monsters killed so many of us, killing them off, does that still need a reason?"

"Vampa Spiders are one of the few creatures on this planet that can produce edible food. If not necessary, preserving them is better than killing them off."

Broly explained.

"Eh, is that so?"

Medamaga was somewhat surprised.

"The taste when eaten seems not bad either."

And the chubby-looking Dorodabo had already picked up a dead Vampa Spider from the ground and was tasting its flavor.

"Soup is more delicious. My old man made soup. Do you want to go eat with me?"

Dorodabo was somewhat tempted, but soon discovered Ankira looking over with a somewhat warning gaze.

"No, we still have to transform this planet."

Dorodabo hurriedly refused Broly's new colleague's kind offer to drink spider leg soup.

"Transform the planet, then what should I do?"

Broly asked again.

"We are not scientists, but combatants. As combatants, our only mission is to eliminate any creatures on this planet that might appear and obstruct the planet transformation plan."

Medamaga explained the combatants' mission.

"Then can I go home first, and tell my old man about joining you guys?"

Broly inquired.

"You can, you go."

Broly made it back to his own mountain cave before the soup was cooked.

"How is it, was it a meteorite fragment falling and causing a commotion?"

Paragus saw his son return and asked directly.

"Yes, but also no."

Broly told his own old man about the Slug Corps matter.

"Snap—"

The stone bowl holding hot soup fell from Paragus's hand, smashing on the ground and shattering.

"A spaceship has come to Vampa Star, is this true?"

Paragus got excited, because this meant he could finally leave this barbarian planet.

"It's true, but their spaceship was severely damaged by my attack, and now it seems they need to transform Vampa Star into a new spaceship to continue sailing in the universe."

"As long as we can leave this star system that aliens fundamentally don't come to, anything works. Right, Broly, do the Slug Corps people want to drink soup? If not, shall we bring some soup over?"

Paragus, carrying spider leg soup, followed his son to the Large Vampa Spider Nest side, and here the planet transformation's preliminary preparation work had already begun.

Temporary factories were produced one after another, extracting trace iron elements from Vampa Star's mud, beginning to manufacture engineering machinery.

Large disc devices were launched into the sky one by one, and proceeded to spray thick black smog haze in the sky.

The originally clear starry sky was enveloped by haze, this area seeming to have entered a polar night.

Fortunately, the spaceship side had lighting equipment, serving as guiding bright lights.

"This is my father, Paragus."

Broly, having come over to this side, introduced his old man to Medamaga and the others.

"Everyone, please have some soup."

Paragus was very enthusiastic; he brought out a stack of stone bowls and began distributing spider leg soup to everyone present.

"Uh, thanks."

The nearby demons who received the spider leg soup were momentarily stunned, then subconsciously said thanks.

"It's a very fresh and sweet thing; is there more?"

Dorodabo, who had downed a mouthful of steaming hot soup, asked.

"There is more."

Paragus personally ladled another bowl of soup for him, then began inquiring with these outsiders about the situation outside Planet Vampa.

And upon hearing from Medamaga that Planet Vegeta had long since been done for, Paragus couldn't help but wave his fist and shout 'good,' which made Medamaga and the others look over in surprise.

"Broly, does your father have a brain problem? What I just told him was the matter of you Saiyans' planet being destroyed!"

Medamaga pointed at his own head and asked the boy; he seriously suspected whether the middle-aged Saiyan dressed like a wild man next to him had a brain problem.

Otherwise, the Saiyan planet was destroyed, and as a Saiyan himself, how could the other party possibly be this happy?

"It's not that I have a brain problem, but rather that we father and son were exiled to Planet Vampa by King Vegeta; if not for him, why would we father and son have had to suffer so much on Planet Vampa?!"

Paragus explained, and the suffering he spoke of was literal; previously the taste of Vampa Spiders was simply indescribable, eating them was comparable to drinking golden juice; it was only because his son had a Crystal Palace on him that their lives improved.

But the improvement was due to his own son's ability, and had jack shit to do with King Vegeta; the hatred that should be held is still held, the grudges that exist still exist.

The only pity is that now Planet Vegeta has already been destroyed, and they father and son cannot personally take revenge on King Vegeta.

"Broly, so you actually have this kind of life!"

Broly was baffled, and was sympathized with by a colleague he had only met today; Medamaga raised a hand and patted his shoulder, saying.

"It's fine; once we leave this star system and arrive at other life-bearing planets, you father and son will definitely be able to eat well and drink well."

"Actually, I feel my current days are passing quite nicely."

Broly spoke the truth, but it seemed that besides his old father, no one believed him.

Time passed another three days.

The entire sky of Planet Vampa had already been covered by thick black haze.

Even during daytime, sunlight could not shine in.

"Sigh, when will this sky brighten? Bay Beasts need to bask in the sun."

Paragus was a bit worried.

Without light, the surface temperature of the entire Planet Vampa was dropping sharply.

And the Bay Beasts near their home lay in the pits, looking listless.

The red fruits on their foreheads had begun to turn somewhat withered.

"I'll go ask."

Broly went to the Large Vampa Spider Nest side, found Medamaga and the others, and inquired about this matter.

"Hah, when will the sky brighten?"

Medamaga was stumped by the question, and subconsciously replied: "From now on, this planet's sky will never brighten again."

"Why?"

"Because most of us demons are quite afraid of sunlight; once exposed to sunlight for too long, we might die."

Ankira approached and answered Broly's question.

"Transforming a planet, naturally it must be transformed into an environment suitable for us demons to survive."

Dorodabo came over at this time as well.

"But if the sky never brightens, my friends on this planet will feel unwell."

"What friends?"

"You all come with me."

Broly brought the three to meet his Bay Beast friends.

"Ba~"

The Bay Beast poked its huge head out from the pit, letting out a listless sound at Broly, then leaned its big head over for him to pet.

"This is the friend you spoke of?"

Ankira, Medamaga, and Dorodabo — the three demons' eyelids twitched; if this terrifying giant monster suddenly popped out and sneak attacked them out of the blue, they might all possibly be done in.

"Yes, this is my friend; you can call it a Bay Beast, and that is its clan..."

The direction Broly pointed at had pit after pit; there were a full dozen or so Bay Beasts living together here.

"Bay Beasts need to bask in the sun regularly; they can grow juice-filled fruits on their heads, the taste is quite good, so can you let there be sunlight here?"

"Uh, the matter of planet transformation is Kaguga's responsibility; whether a gap can be left here to let sunlight in, you'd have to go ask him; we can take you there."

Ankira, Medamaga, and Dorodabo — the three had eaten from Broly and his father's hands these days, they'd freeloaded quite a few meals.

Being asked to think of a way at this time, they couldn't very well refuse, and proposed taking Broly and Paragus, the two of them, to go find the person in charge of the Planet Transformation Plan.

"What, leave a gap in one place to let sunlight in? Do you know how much engineering time that would waste?"

Upon hearing Broly's request, Kaguga's temper immediately flared; it was really that Slug King was pressing too tight; if he didn't rush the work a bit, the next one to die would be him.

At this time a newcomer who just joined the Legion suddenly showed up, saying he wanted to increase the planet transformation workload for the sake of this planet's native friends — isn't that a joke?

"Hey, Kaguga, watch your tone; Broly is a Legion Executive same as us."

Dorodabo rudely grabbed the shorty before him by the collar and roared at Kaguga in his grasp.

"Ah, sorry."

Kaguga realized belatedly that the status of the Corps executives on this spaceship was clearly higher than his, a mere Scientist, and the executives were all a group of Demons with bad tempers; Broly's polite attitude had instead made him subconsciously treat the other party as an unimportant figure, but now that he had reacted, he hurriedly apologized.

"Then tell me, is there a way or not."

"There is a way, but it actually has no Meaning."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, even if we can open a hole now to let Sunlight shine in, after we move this Planet away, the star of this Star System cannot possibly follow us; at that time, this Planet will sooner or later be without Sunlight."

Kaguga explained.

And in his explanation, the Planet Modification Plan itself would not consider the survival situation of the creatures originally living on the Planet to be modified.

Basically, as long as they leave their original living Environment, insufficiently powerful life will gradually die in the subsequent time.

"What?"

This time it was Broly's turn to grab Kaguga by the collar and lift this short-statured Scientist up.

He really hadn't expected that Planet Modification would actually bring this kind of Consequence.

"Is this the price that has to be paid for Planet Modification?"

Paragus asked from the Side, and this old Saiyan father who usually helped groom the Bay Beast's fur — in terms of feelings toward the Bay Beast, he was now no lower than his own son.

Only, if it was for the sake of leaving this remote Star System, he felt he could make some necessary trade-offs.

"That's not quite it either; real Planet Modification technology has a perfect version, one that can Guarantee the internal Ecology of the modified life Planet won't suffer a mass Extinction just because it leaves its original Star System."

Kaguga, lifted in mid-air, hurriedly said.

"If that exists, why not use it?"

Broly frowned and asked.

"Because that kind of Planet Modification plan requires a long time to conduct the Modification, and King Slug only gave me ten days to modify this Planet; you tell me What Can I Do?"

Kaguga refuted quite innocently; he was not a Demon, but his own race's Planet was occupied by the Slug Corps, after which he served in the Slug Corps, but to say he served — the Actual situation was that he was Enslaved by Slug.

And originally their race's Planet Modification technology, after joining the Slug Corps, gradually underwent some changes.

No longer caring about the original Ecology of the life Planet, only caring about changing in a Direction more Beneficial to the Slug Corps, but with Efficiency as the main focus.

"Sorry, I Misunderstood you; I'll go find King Slug right now and Persuade him to give you a bit more time to modify this Planet."

Broly put down the Kaguga in his hand, but the words he spoke made the others look at each other in surprise.

"Are you tired of living?"

Kaguga stared wide-eyed at the Saiyan boy before him; his clansman was killed by the impatient King Slug just for saying modifying this Planet needed a month, and now this one wants to bring up modification time measured in years — basically lighting a lantern in a Toilet — looking for death.

"I believe as long as we properly Communicate, King Slug will Change His Mind and be Willing to give more Planet Modification time."

Broly said a sentence seriously, then strode toward the Main Control Room, seemingly preparing to go find Slug.

"Hey, Broly, you just joined us, you might not understand King Slug's personality; King Slug in the Corps has always been an Existence whose word is law, he hates people who dare defy his will, you going to Persuade him might get you killed."

Medamaga hurriedly caught up, wanting to stop Broly's suicidal behavior.

"No problem, I'm actually Good At persuading others, grasping the true principle of persuading others to Change Their Mind."

Broly raised his hand, Pinched it into a Fist, and said to Medamaga and the others who followed up worried about his situation.

The three Demon executives Faced Each Other, not knowing what the boy's spoken principle actually was.

The group of several people soon arrived at the Main Control Room, and upon entering and seeing King Slug, Broly went Straightforward to Slug chewing Capsules on the Main Seat and spoke of wanting to change the current Planet Modification Plan that only talks Efficiency and not Ecology.

"What, just because of your trivial monster friends on this Planet, you want me, Slug, to waste one or two years on this barren Planet conducting a so-called perfect Planet Modification?"

"Yes, the Bay Beasts are my important friends; I don't want to Destroy their living Environment just because of leaving here, and even more don't want my friends to die because of it."

Hearing Broly's Definite answer, Slug was even amused to anger: "Broly, do you know what you're saying?"

"King Slug calm your Anger, Broly is just a Saiyan child, he doesn't know the importance of time to an already aged You."

Dorodabo subconsciously defended Broly, but once the words were out, he Realized he had misspoken.

However, by this time it was somewhat late; Slug's Gaze full of Killing Intent had already looked over.

"Ah, King Slug, I didn't mean that..."

The chubby Dorodabo waved his hands in panic wanting to explain, but Slug had no interest in listening to this Stupid Goods subordinate who angered him defend himself.

He raised his hand, fingertips Lit Up, and an Energy Beam shot toward Dorodabo's Chest.

Dorodabo thought he was done for, subconsciously Closed Eyes, but after a while he discovered he hadn't died.

Opened Eyes, only to discover Broly floating before him, raised hand emitting a wisp of white Smoke, seemingly having Blocked King Slug's Energy Beam attack for him.

"Saiyan Little Ghost, you're courting death!"

Slug stood up, narrowed his eyes, looking at the Broly below with a very Dangerous gaze.

"I'm not courting death, I'm just reasoning."

Broly looked up at the other party, answering seriously.

"Only the Strong are qualified to speak Reason; before me you are just a Weakling."

King Slug said loudly.

"So, you want to Confirm right now, between us, who is Strong and who is Weak?"
