Chapter 550: The Limit of the Counterfeit Is Determined by the Genuine

District 13's helicopter had a touch of black tech, its flight speed was very fast, and not long after it arrived at an island.

"This is the agents' vacation spot. We at District 13 have set up some special shielding devices on this island; satellites in outer space cannot photograph this island, so you can use your magic to your heart's content here..."

Sheriff Black introduced the island's situation, then brought Broly and Xiao Yu to the beach by the coast.

The sand sparkled in the sunlight, with some small crabs crawling on it and some seashells, though there was no modern trash.

Xiao Yu took off her shoes; stepping barefoot on the sand felt very comfortable: "This place is really beautiful. I should have had Tru and Long Shu come along too."

"Tru has to look after his father's antique shop, and Long Shu just received an archaeological commission, so I think they don't have time to come here."

Xiao Yu and Broly were talking, while Sheriff Black pointed to a modern camouflage building disguised as a forest farther from the coast, and asked: "Do you two want some drinks? I can go get them for you."

"I want watermelon juice."

"Orange juice."

"Thank you." *2

Broly and Xiao Yu didn't stand on ceremony with Sheriff Black; after saying what they wanted to drink, they thanked each other in unison.

"Xiao Yu, the lighting here is quite good. Before the sun sets, you can try summoning more White Shadow Ninjas here to your heart's content."

After the bald sheriff left, Broly said to Xiao Yu, who had started catching crabs, reminding her that they weren't really on vacation.

"Then what about you, Broly?"

Xiao Yu began summoning White Shadow Ninjas, and seeing Broly motionless beside her, she couldn't help but ask.

"I want to study the Copy Spell a bit more, to see if I can possess the clones onto the White Shadow Ninjas."

"Hey, you two."

After Broly finished speaking, a voice rang out.

Xiao Yu and Broly looked over and saw a Broly dressed differently from Broly walking over from the side.

"Huh, Broly, have you already mastered the clone technique you wanted?!"

Seeing him, Xiao Yu was somewhat surprised and asked the boy beside her.

"I think not yet."

Broly shook his head.

And if it weren't afternoon now, he would have thought he woke up early.

Otherwise, how could he see another himself?

"Who are you? Can this world also do time travel? Are you me from the future?"

Broly asked.

In Ki Sense, the 'self' before his eyes and his own breath had almost no difference.

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Broly would even have ignored the other's existence.

"Huh, have you lost your memory too?"

Fake Broly frowned, then shrugged his shoulders.

"Forget it, I'm not your future self; I'm the real you."

He said so.

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Yu was somewhat dazed.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Could you please explain it to me?"

Broly looked at the fellow before him who seemed to be himself and said.

"You're actually quite polite, which makes it not good to just hit you directly."

Fake Broly scratched his head and actually began to explain.

"It's like this!"

Upon meeting, Fake Broly directly sold out the Holy Lord cleanly, but this couldn't be blamed on the other, because Fake Broly's personality originated from the real Broly.

On Fake Broly's side, at most there was no Crystal Palace, no memories from the other world, and moreover due to the Holy Lord's Manipulation Spell, he didn't even have the memories Broly experienced after arriving in this world; he was completely an empty-headed version of Broly, with no scheming at all.

"Oh, I think I know what's going on."

"What's going on?"

The two Brolys looked over at the same time and asked Xiao Yu in unison.

"The Holy Lord wants to deal with Broly, but He is no match for Broly."

"So, the Holy Lord used some methods to create a fake Broly, namely you."

Xiao Yu pointed at Fake Broly and said impolitely.

"So, you're saying I'm the fake Broly?"

Fake Broly looked at her and asked.

"Yes, after all, only a fake Broly would have no life memories at all. If you don't believe it, you can ask the real Broly; his life experiences are quite wonderful, and he has intersections with many people and established intimate relationships."

"The Holy Lord said he stole my life, which caused me to have no memories."

"The Holy Lord is a demon; His mouth never speaks the truth. He must have deceived you."

"Then why isn't it you deceiving me?"

Fake Broly crossed his arms over his chest and didn't believe Xiao Yu's words.

"If I'm not mistaken, the safest place in the world, District 13, must have been stolen from again, and the lost item must now be inside your body."

Xiao Yu said, then reached out and pointed at Fake Broly's chest area.

"What's here?"

"I'm not sure of the exact spot, but I think there must be a Rat Talisman inside your body that exists to turn stillness into motion and make dead things into living things."

"I don't feel anything at all."

Fake Broly subconsciously touched his chest and said.

"Fine, who you are doesn't matter; what matters is why you came to find me."

Broly asked directly.

"The Holy Lord said that if I want to take back my own life, I must deal with the person who stole my life."

"So you're here to kill me?"

"Yes, but now it seems I might be the fake one."

"Then what do you plan to do?"

Broly looked at the impostor version of himself, curious about the other's plan, and asked.

"I don't like thinking about complicated things, and I don't know how to distinguish between you and the Holy Lord's words—who is real and who is fake."

"So I simply won't think about it. The Holy Lord treated me to a meal, so He counts as my friend. You hit Him, so I'm going to restore His honor and teach you a lesson."

"Are you sure? I'm very powerful, and you don't look very strong. If we fight, you're the one who might suffer."

The impostor version of himself before him had no difference in aura from his own, but there was a difference in the size of their auras—his was larger, the other's smaller.

"Whether I'll suffer or not, we'll know only after fighting. Take this!"

Fake Broly launched an attack directly, lifting his leg at the hip, his heel like an axe, kicking down toward Broly's head.

Broly, at the moment he moved, pulled Xiao Yu beside him back. With a bang, a large crater appeared on the beach, like a grenade exploding under the sand.

"Hey, if you want to fight me, fine, but don't drag my friend into it!"

If not for Broly pulling Xiao Yu back, Fake Broly's kick might have sent Xiao Yu flying with the shockwave, just like the sand kicked up by the explosion.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to. She should have stayed farther away."

Fake Broly's attitude, however, surprised Broly somewhat.

"Xiao Yu, stay back. I'll spar with this guy a bit."

"Broly, are you okay?"

Fake Broly's kick still frightened Xiao Yu somewhat.

"No problem."

Broly was very confident.

Fake Broly listened to the two's conversation from the side, and only after seeing Xiao Yu run far away did he ask: "Now, can I continue attacking?"

"You're quite polite, far more polite than the demons in Hell. Because of your politeness, I'll let you show your strength."

Broly made a please gesture, and Fake Broly attacked again. The other's attack pattern was similar to his own.

After fighting with the other for a while, Broly discovered that the impostor's strength was roughly similar to that of the Thunder Demon Zhongsu he had fought before, at most just a bit stronger than Thunder Demon Zhongsu.

"Looks like this is your limit. If you stop now, I won't hurt you."

Broly raised his hand to block Fake Broly's kick and tried to persuade him, but Fake Broly still had no intention of stopping, remaining silent and only attacking fiercely with fists and feet.

"Since that's the case, there's no way around it. I'll have to make you suffer a bit."

Broly sped up a bit and pressed in close to the impostor.

Before the other could react, his right fist struck the other's right side waist and abdomen.

A solid collision, and a creaking sound rang out.

Fake Broly's figure, like a cannonball, was blown away.

Buried in the beach, plowing a gully across the sand, finally...

"Bang, creak~"

He snapped a coconut tree in the distance before the blown-away figure finally stopped.

"Broly, you didn't kill him, did you?"

In the distance, Xiao Yu, seeing this scene, grew worried.

Of course, she wasn't worried about Fake Broly; she just respected life more.

Even in the Black Shadow Queen's state, when letting ninjas arrest criminals, the girl never let the ninjas deal a fatal blow.

"No, I held back. At most it'll leave the impostor me permanently disabled."

As soon as Broly finished speaking, the broken coconut tree over there was propped back up.

"That hurts, your speed is actually faster than mine?!"

Fake Broly stood up again, and where the real Broly had hit him, his clothes were already torn open. On the exposed side waist and abdominal muscles, a red, swollen fist mark was disappearing at a visible speed.

"You know healing magic?"

Broly saw it and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"That should be the power of the Horse Talisman. The Horse Talisman can cure all ills, including injuries like falls and bruises."

Xiao Yu, who also saw Fake Broly's injuries disappearing, then explained how the other recovered from his injuries.

"Although I don't know what's going on, let's continue anyway."

Fake Broly attacked again, his speed seemingly even faster.

However, Broly had only sped up slightly just now, and still had a large portion of hidden strength he hadn't brought out.

So, within just two or three moves, Fake Broly was sent flying again.

But the other soon stood up again, beginning the cycle of being blown away, standing up, and continuing to fight.

And as Broly continuously brought out stronger strength, Fake Broly's strength also kept rising.

The Rat Talisman seemed to be constantly updating the strength ceiling of this impostor of his.

"Broly, why do I feel like he's getting more and more powerful?"

"Yes, he's getting more and more powerful. This guy's strength seems to be correspondingly enhanced along with the extent of my own improvement."

After discovering that the impostor self could continuously recover from injuries, Broly struck harder and harder, now even drawing out the hand-knife version of the Light Blade.

Fake Broly's limbs were directly severed, and the other fell to the ground like a human pig, but the severed limbs quickly recovered in the next moment.

While saying new tricks were appearing in his mind, the other used a hand-blade version of the Light Blade that Broly had just used, looking quite the part.

But he slashed at empty air, landing on the beach and leaving a terrifying sword mark on the sand.

Trick copying, power copying, and rapid recovery even when injured.

Fake Broly's situation began to make Broly feel that he was troublesome.

"You'd better stop, otherwise, I cannot guarantee your safety."

Broly spoke again.

"You're a decent person, but you hit me so hard that now I just want to hit back."

Fake Broly had no intention of stopping at all.

"Sigh~"

Broly sighed, and his figure directly disappeared.

"Where is the person?"

While Fake Broly was wondering where he was, Broly appeared behind him and kicked the impostor himself into the sky with one kick.

Speed and power continuously exploded; Fake Broly's power update had a delay, and for a time he was like a ragdoll, being beaten back and forth in the sky, completely powerless to fight back.

"Do you admit defeat? Are you prepared to stop? This is your last chance."

"I can already capture your figure."

In response to Broly was a kick from Fake Broly that almost counterattacked.

"Since that's the case, then, Light Continuous Slash!"

The next moment, Fake Broly's body was cut into fragments.

"Gravity Energy Bullet!"

Broly, who had stopped his figure in midair, condensed an energy bullet in his hand and blasted it toward the fragments.

Instantly, an expanding energy bullet appeared in the air above the island's coastline.

And Broly controlled the power and direction of the Gravity Energy Bullet, so it did not affect the direction of the island this side.

However, in the direction of the sea surface, the seawater was pressed by the terrifying wind pressure as if the tide were receding.

"What's that noise?"

Sheriff Black, who was in the camouflage forest building, heard some noise, turned back and looked out from the window, and saw the energy cloud appearing in the distant sky.

【The noise from this magic is really big~】

Sheriff Black thought, then said to the chef in front of him: "Please give me three more hot dogs."

"Uh, Sheriff, there's such a big noise over there, aren't you going to take care of it?"

"No need to take care of it; that is, uh, a secret weapon newly developed by our District 13 is being tested, so it's normal to have a bit of a big noise."

Sheriff Black thought the situation over there was just a phenomenon caused by Broly and Xiao Yu practicing magic, and even helped find a reasonable excuse to explain it.

The Gravity Energy Bullet gradually disappeared; Broly, who had bombed the impostor himself into nothingness, did not feel very happy.

Broly did not intend to kill the impostor himself; it was just that the other was truly unwilling to listen to his advice to stop, and Broly worried that as the battle intensity grew, it might affect Xiao Yu on this side, so he had no choice but to deal a fatal blow to the other.

And just as Broly was preparing to descend, a mass of minced meat suddenly appeared out of thin air in the sky behind him, condensed into shape at an extremely fast speed, and made a sound: "It hurts so much!"

Broly suddenly turned around, looking at the impostor similar to Majin Buu's resurrection method, surprise appearing on his face: "His body was blown away, yet he can still come back to life?!"

"Broly, the other has a Dog Talisman on him; the Dog Talisman can grant the holder the power of an Immortal Body."

Xiao Yu shouted from below, and the next moment, her voice was drowned out by the big noise caused by the new Gravity Energy Bullet.

However, this time the one releasing the Gravity Energy Bullet was Fake Broly, and the one being attacked by the Gravity Energy Bullet was the real Broly.

"Hmm?"

Fake Broly, who was maintaining the Gravity Energy Bullet, suddenly saw Xiao Yu below about to be blown away by the wind, but he controlled the area of effect of the Gravity Energy Bullet, pushing its area of effect upward a bit.

But just after doing that, the Gravity Energy Bullet released by Fake Broly dissipated, and Broly, who had entered the Super Saiyan state, waved his hand and dispersed this energy bullet.

"Thanks."

Broly noticed Fake Broly's behavior just now, and said thanks to the other.

"You're welcome."

Fake Broly waved his hand, and while looking at Broly's current form, he suddenly clenched both hands into fists and placed them at his waist.

Broly saw this and his pupils shrank; as expected, as the impostor opposite roared, after Broly brought out stronger power, the other once again received a power boost.

Only to see that the other's black hair was covered by a golden aura, and also turned into the same color as his own current hair.

In this world where the Eight Great Demons were sealed and power levels could not rise spirally by stepping left foot on right foot, the Rat Talisman plus Dragon Talisman originally could not create a powerful existence exceeding this world's power level.

However, due to the Saint Lord choosing to animate the statue being Broly, this Saiyan from another world who also existed in this world, allowed the animated counterfeit statue to directly break free from the power level limit of this world's own existence.

Without a doubt, the Saint Lord really created a monster exceeding the powerful existence this world's power level could conceive; Fake Broly's upper limit, however, was determined by the real Broly's upper limit.
