Chapter 528: Join the Slug Corps, Replace Slug King!

"Bang—"

The spaceship's outer structure, which had just been repaired, was suddenly blasted open from the inside.

A group of ordinary Demon Race Soldiers had no idea what was happening before they were blown away by the shockwave.

Two figures, one large and one small, shot out from inside the spaceship; the sounds of *shu shu shu* and *hong hong hong* rang out continuously.

Those were the sounds of the two's fists and legs tearing through the air, and the sound of their flesh colliding with each other.

"Ah, what's going on? Why is Slug King fighting with Broly-sama?"

A Demon Race Soldier who had once received a bowl of soup's kindness from them cried out in surprise after recognizing the two figures locked in combat.

Behind them, Medamaga, Paragus, and the others quickly chased out from the breach in the spaceship.

"Broly saved me."

Dorodabo, who had nearly been killed by Slug just now, said with lingering fear.

"But that kid is too stupid; he shouldn't have talked back to Slug King. Now he's dead for sure."

Medamaga sighed, not optimistic about Broly's fate.

"No, my son is very powerful; he can win."

Paragus expressed full confidence in his son. What Slug King? He had never even heard of him before.

"Heh, you have this kind of confidence because you haven't seen Slug King's true strength."

Beside them, Ankira subconsciously sneered. He felt this Saiyan Paragus was just a frog at the bottom of a well, not knowing how high the sky is or how thick the ground is.

"If your Saiyan race's Super Saiyan is merely a legend, then Slug King is the living legend of the Planet Namek people.

It can be said he is a Super Planet Namekian. In his youth, he defeated all comers on Slug Planet with no equal, and after leaving Slug Planet, he campaigned across the Universe, never suffering a defeat. (Strategic Retreat doesn't count as a loss)

By comparison, you Saiyans are still subjugated under the Frieza Force's banner, becoming subordinates of the Frieza Force."

"That's right. Even if your son Broly is the legendary Super Saiyan of your Saiyan race (doesn't know if he is), he still can't beat Slug King."

Just as Ankira and Medamaga were boasting about their own King's might, Slug up in the sky had already been beaten until he was bleeding.

When they started fighting, Slug thought he could rely on his powerful strength to easily suppress the Saiyan brat who dared defy him.

However, once they actually fought, Slug discovered it wasn't like that at all; his attacks were parried one after another by Broly.

And Broly's attacks were both ruthless and heavy, hammering his face, chest, and various joints.

Look, Slug threw another punch; Broly crossed his arms at his side to block, steadily catching the opponent's fist with a cross block, then borrowed the force to spin and deliver a whip kick, striking Slug's exposed side face.

Slug was kicked flying, purple blood directly overflowing from the corner of his mouth. And if his skin color weren't green, he would probably look just like Paragus does when sparring with Broly normally — his face bruised and swollen.

But is Slug weak? No, he isn't weak. He truly is as his subordinates said, able to campaign and fight well in the Universe.

However, this Planet Namekian might have, many times in the past, simply relied on numerical Combat Power to crush others.

But now, encountering a Broly who isn't afraid of his numbers and whose combat technique is higher than his, he has turned into a situation where he only gets beaten.

It's like playing a fighting game. Slug's operation technique isn't that of a newbie; it reaches the level of a general expert. But upon meeting a top-tier micro-management expert, his every move is seen through, all his attacks easily parried. In turn, the opponent can always find his openings, giving him a hit or two from time to time.

Even if the force used isn't great, he is indeed losing health, and continuously at that. Meanwhile, the opponent, after fighting intensely until now, is still at full health.

"Understand, Slug King? There is a huge gap between you and me. My combat skill is far higher than yours. Continuing to fight, the only one who will get hurt is you."

"Saiyan stinking brat, I admit you have some ability, but your power is fundamentally insufficient. I can make countless mistakes and be hit by you, but you only need to make one mistake, be hit solidly by me once, and you're done for!"

Broly: "..."

He was using technique to fight the opponent, but it seems it caused a slight misunderstanding.

"Fine. If you can land a solid hit on me, I'll count it as my loss."

Broly put his hands behind his back.

"What are you doing?"

Slug became vigilant, not knowing what the stinking brat opposite wanted to do.

"I've pretty much figured out your combat patterns. Next, to let you more clearly recognize the gap between you and me, I've decided to let you have a pair of hands and fight you with just that." (Note: "let you have a pair of hands" implies Broly is restricting himself to not using his hands, letting Slug have the advantage of two hands, or it's a sarcastic phrasing. Translating literally as "let you have a pair of hands" preserves the ambiguity.)

Hearing this, Slug was first stunned, then his expression turned a bit ugly: "What did you say?"

"Eh, do you mean you want me to not even use my legs? Honestly, that's not impossible either, but if so, I'd have to raise my Ki a bit. When beating you, it would make you feel even more pain."

Broly spoke with an appearance of doing it for the other's own good.

"Ah, you thought what I just showed was my full strength? It was just me casually playing with you, yet it instead made you, this stinking brat, arrogant. Next, I won't hold back. I'll use full power to finish you off."

Slug got a bit heated/tilted. In Broly's Ki Sense, if the previous him was a torch, the current him was a campfire pile; his Ki had at least multiplied several times over.

Slug vanished instantly.

The next moment, he arrived before Broly, smashing down with a fist.

Then, he smashed through Broly's chest.

But, that was an afterimage.

"Bang—"

Broly appeared above, a high raised leg falling, kicking the back of Slug's head.

Only the Ki used was too low; the amplified force wasn't enough, and it didn't cause any damage.

Curl body, bend knee, block, *Bang—*

Broly once again used a parry stance, blocking Slug's inverted hook kick.

The whole person flew out like a small rubber ball, traveling a long distance before stopping.

Any injury? No injury. The force was all dissipated.

"If you don't change your straightforward combat thinking, you'll never be able to beat me."

Broly kindly gave a reminder, but the response he got was two yellow spherical Energy Bullets from Slug.

And seeing Broly in the distance dodge his Energy Bullets by turning sideways, the corner of Slug's mouth hooked up.

"Come back."

Unlike many who use energy bullets and lose control once they fire them, Slug's command over energy is very strong.

Even energy bullets already fired, he can manipulate freely, making them turn corners and continue attacking.

One saw the dodged energy bullet make a turn and silently strike toward the Saiyan boy's back.

In his youth, Slug used this move to kill many powerful enemies.

Now, it should be that Saiyan brat who looks down on him properly experiencing his power.

Then there was no then; Broly side-stepped again, and the energy bullet attacking silently from behind was dodged again.

"From your expression, don't tell me you thought an attack like this could hit me?"

Seeing Slug's expression, Broly asked with some surprise.

Slug: "..."

Seemed he was looked down on again.

"Two you can dodge, but what about four, six, eight?"

Slug, somewhat embarrassed into anger, threw out more remotely controllable energy bullets at Broly.

Broly dodged left and right; as the number of energy bullets increased to over twenty, dodging finally wasn't so relaxed, and he could only choose to fly upward.

On the pitch-black curtain sky, a swarm of yellow little bee energy bullets chasing the Saiyan boy instantly appeared.

"Hahaha, run, run; no matter where you flee, my tricks won't stop pursuing until your stamina is exhausted clean, and when you're blasted is when you'll be severely injured."

Slug watched the Saiyan boy fly into the black haze, seemingly wanting to use obscured vision to dodge his energy bullet tracking, and couldn't help laughing loudly.

"Eh, is that true? Is that thing's power that great?"

Suddenly, a questioning voice rang out from below.

"That's of course; that's my exclusive technique..."

Slug subconsciously replied, but immediately sensed something was wrong.

He looked down and saw Broly.

But Broly is here, so who are my energy bullets chasing?

"Since it's King Slug's exclusive technique, then please, King Slug, taste it yourself!"

Broly spoke and delivered a powerful sweeping kick, kicking Slug into instant takeoff from the spot.

In the black haze, the chased 'Broly' fell toward the direction Slug flew up.

Arriving before Slug, it transformed into a pool of clear water carrying Qi, pouring onto his body.

Behind, the yellow little bee-like energy bullets tracked Broly's Qi and shot over.

"Bad."

Slug realized it was bad, but wanting to cancel his technique was already too late.

"Boom—"

The black haze was blown open with a huge gap, revealing the starry sky that should have been behind it.

"Hey, Ankira, stop blowing; King Slug seems to have blown himself up."

Dorodabo reminded his companion beside him.

Ankira, Medamaga, and Paragus the three together looked toward the sky.

"Damn it, damn it..."

Slug wasn't blown to death by his own energy bullets, but his whole body's clothes were blown tattered, and injuries of varying degrees appeared all over his body.

The antennae belonging to the Namekian on his head were even blown off one, purple fresh blood flowing from his crown, making his appearance look very miserable.

"I said, only you would get hurt."

Broly crossed arms before his chest; the battle with Slug couldn't be called a battle, only one-sided bullying.

Slug's Ki Sense capability is very poor; he didn't even discover that he replaced his main body with a water elemental clone to attract the opponent's energy bullets.

He let the concealed self sneak over and successfully sent the opponent up with one kick to eat his own tracking energy bullets.

And now at this extent, Broly felt no matter how stubborn a guy, they should also see the gap between themselves and him.

"Ankira, Medamaga, Dorodabo, what are you three guys doing?"

Slug didn't continue attacking Broly, but shouted toward the three executives below.

"Ah, King Slug, we didn't do anything."

Medamaga the three hurriedly replied.

"Did I tell you to do nothing? Hurry up, kill that Saiyan brat's father beside you!"

Slug directly gave the order, and these words made Broly's eyes widen, subconsciously looking toward Paragus's direction below.

Just as Broly was distracted, the long-prepared Slug launched a sneak attack; an energy beam blasted from his hand, directly blasting Broly in the sky down to the ground.

On the ground, Medamaga and the rest all saw this scene; Paragus worriedly shouted his son's name, then furiously looked upward at the Namekian who sneak-attacked his son.

"Slug, you bastard, truly despicable enough!"

"Hmph, life-and-death struggle, only life or death, no such thing as despicable or not; Medamaga, what are you few waiting for, waiting for me to kill you after?"

Ankira, Medamaga, and Dorodabo the three made eye contact, then directly attacked Paragus beside them.

"Sorry, King Slug's order, we dare not disobey."

"Yeah, Paragus, just obediently die."

"Eat my punch."

Behind, Dorodabo clearly could have sneak-attacked successfully, but deliberately called out before swinging his fist.

Paragus instantly suffered three-man beating; other ordinary soldiers prepared to help, but Ankira waved them back: "Why are you intervening, think we three can't win?"

In the sky, Slug clenched fist, like constipated, began charging: "Truly hateful, actually forcing me to use this move!"

Slug's body rapidly inflated; Giant Form is a racial technique he developed as a Namekian, yet can amplify his own power dozens of times.

But this method would accelerate his aging, and for Slug, who had already stepped into his twilight years with his life entering its final countdown, this was undoubtedly a tremendous cost.

Broly was knocked to the ground by Slug, and before long he flew out of the pit smashed into the ground; he paid no attention to Slug, who was in the process of assuming his Giant Form, and instead projected his gaze toward the direction of his own father.

Just as killing intent entered his eyes and he looked over, the scene he saw stunned him — his own father was actually fighting evenly with Medamaga and the other two.

That evenly matched aerial battle, if Broly and the three of Medamaga had not actually fought each other, one might have believed it.

This fake fighting was performed with truly convincing realism; in terms of acting skill, Broly felt that Medamaga and the other two's acting might not be any worse than his own.

【Broly, this is the only thing we can do — before you and Slug King decide a winner, guarantee your father's life safety...】

When they engaged, discovering that the other two were also holding back, the three of Medamaga tacitly cooperated, attacking Paragus while intentionally holding back.

Of course, if Broly had not displayed strength evenly matched with Slug, they certainly would not be in an evenly matched situation with Paragus right now.

However, this was all the three of Medamaga could do; as for anything more — for example, joining Broly to deal with Slug King — that was something they didn't even dare think about.

The powerful impression Slug had built in their hearts ran too deep; even if Slug was extremely brutal, the three of Medamaga simply did not have the courage to resist him.

Of course, the courage to hold back slightly when they saw hope of successful resistance — that, the three of them did have.

"Goodwill exchanged for goodwill — there are still many good people in the world, but there are also those who completely fail to understand my goodwill!"

Seeing that his father's side was fine, Broly retracted his gaze and once again shifted his sight onto the giant-form Slug.

"Although this form lowers my speed, my attack range becomes larger; Saiyan little ghost, let's see how you dodge this!"

After completing his giant transformation, Slug opened his mouth, and energy gathered within it — he intended to destroy Broly along with the entire area in the direction where Broly stood.

"Ki Sword."

A sparring sword composed of highly condensed Ki appeared in Broly's hand, and facing the mouth-cannon energy Slug spewed forth, he flew straight toward it.

He deployed his Absorption Aura; after Slug's mouth-cannon energy reached him, it was plundered by his Absorption Aura and channeled into the sparring sword in his hand.

The Ki Sword in his hand grew larger and longer, and by the time it reached Slug's front, it had already become a forty-meter-long great Ki Sword, directly dancing a gigantic sword flower before Slug's body.

And Slug's body, without any hindrance, was directly sliced through by the Ki Sword composed of highly condensed Ki.

"I, how could I..."

Feeling his life rapidly ebbing away, Slug could hardly believe it; he wanted to activate the Namekian's regeneration ability, but with his head already separated from his neck, how could he still control his body?

From Slug's giant transformation and spewing his mouth-cannon at Broly, to Broly condensing his Ki Sword and directly moving to kill him, only a very brief time had passed, and from start to finish, Broly's hair color remained black.

By the time the others reacted, Broly had already fired an Energy Cannon at Slug's remains, completely obliterating this Universe King — clean, not even slag left. (Please reference Future Trunks eliminating Frieza scene)

"Slug King, has been killed."

The ordinary soldiers of the Slug Corps fell into an inexplicable panic.

Paragus's side also stopped; the three of Medamaga stared at each other in blank dismay.

We had only just started acting on this side, and that side was already finished?

The speed was so fast that the three Demon Clan Executives who had wanted to properly display their acting skills were left somewhat at a loss.

"Ah, do we still fight?"

Dorodabo asked.

"Smack—"

Then, the back of his head took a slap from the jumping-up Medamaga.

"Fight my ass, you want to die, but I don't want to die."

Medamaga wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, fortunate that he hadn't actually obeyed orders and killed Paragus.

And this was also because, seeing Broly block a fatal blow for Dorodabo, as a fellow Corps Executive, he made the choice out of "when the rabbit dies, the fox grieves."
