Dragon Ball: I Became Cell in a Doomed Future

Chapter 311 311: If You’ve Got the Guts, Then Come Smash Me into the Bedrock!

The spherical space pod in Broly's hand let out the groan of overstressed metal as his monstrous grip tightened. Cracks spread across its hull like a spiderweb.

Slowly, he turned his head and fixed his gaze on Levos.

"Another insect?" Broly bared his teeth in a bloodthirsty grin. "Do you want to challenge me too?"

"Challenge?" Levos smiled faintly. "Let's fight and see."

Before the words had even finished, Levos vanished.

Broly's pupils shrank. Acting on instinct, he raised the pod in front of him like a shield.

A dull explosion rang out as the pod instantly burst into a storm of shattered fragments.

The terrifying force passed through the wreckage and slammed squarely into Broly's chest.

His massive body was blasted backward, plowing a bottomless trench across the collapsing ground.

From the rubble, Ginyu crawled out, filthy and shaken, staring at Levos's back in utter disbelief.

"Interesting…"

At the far end of the trench, Broly slowly stood and rolled his neck.

There was not even a scratch on his chest.

The dark purple Destruction aura around him surged upward at an unprecedented rate.

"Very good. I'll make sure you die slowly. I'll let you wail in endless agony before I kill you."

Levos's aura began to rise at a terrifying pace.

Crimson fur spread across his body as savage power flooded through his veins. In an instant, he transformed into Super Saiyan 4.

But that was not all.

An ordinary form meant nothing against the Broly before him.

Because Levos recognized Broly's form at once. Dark violet hair, vanished eyebrows, pronounced brow ridge.

That was clearly

Ultra Ego.

How Broly had mastered it no longer mattered. What mattered was that his power had likely already surpassed that of an ordinary God of Destruction. There was even a chance he had gone beyond Beerus himself.

"Haahhhh!"

Silver-white radiance erupted.

The long black hair draped over Super Saiyan 4's shoulders was washed into gleaming silver, while the red fur covering his body turned pure white.

Super Saiyan 4 stacked with Beast!

An aura deeper and more terrifying than any form Levos had ever shown swept across the dying planet.

"Oh?" A flicker of surprise flashed through Broly's eyes, only to be swallowed by even greater bloodlust and excitement. "An interesting transformation. But no matter how strong your form becomes, before Destruction Energy, you're still just an insect!"

During the thousand years he had spent sealed in ice, Beerus's Destruction Energy had clung to Broly like a curse, tormenting his body and soul day and night, forcing him through an endless cycle of death and regeneration.

That kind of injury could erase even a soul completely.

Under such absolute agony, the Saiyan trait of growing stronger from near-death had been driven to its utmost extreme.

Pain, rage, hatred…

Endless negative emotions had nearly devoured him whole.

Yet in that torment, his body had unconsciously begun fusing the Destruction Energy into its cells, into his very soul.

What should have erased him entirely had instead remade both his flesh and spirit.

And when his consciousness finally awakened and merged completely with his body's instincts, that perfect union elevated his entire existence.

He had fully mastered the power of Destruction.

And he had comprehended his own form of

Ultra Ego.

Broly blurred forward and appeared before Levos, his fist crashing out with the force of pure Destruction Energy, enough to erase a planet with ease.

Levos didn't dodge. He answered with a punch of his own.

BOOM !!!!

At the point where their fists collided, space itself was annihilated. A black void rapidly expanded, madly swallowing everything nearby.

The cataclysmic shockwave spread in rings, instantly reducing thousands of miles of terrain to nothingness. Countless surviving experimental barriers shattered under the impact.

The aftershock even destroyed the planet's burning core.

"AAAHHH! ENOUGH! YOU BASTARDS!"

From deep within the planet, Merged Zamasu's furious roar of helpless rage rang out.

He felt like an anvil being pounded back and forth by two monsters, on the verge of falling apart completely.

Yet thanks to his immortal body, the shattered planet still struggled, bit by bit, to restore itself.

…

At the same time, because Levos and Broly's clash had completely broken all the barriers, the entire Supreme Kai Planet had been unsealed.

Everyone's energy could now be sensed clearly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Figures began appearing one after another.

Using Instant Transmission, Goku gathered all the scattered allies at the edge of the battlefield.

Gohan, Bulma, Android 18, Piccolo, Bejitena, Trunks, Latirith…

At last, all the Earth warriors were reunited.

"Gohan! Are you okay?" Piccolo looked at Gohan's abdomen, still pierced through, his face full of concern. He immediately called Majin Buu over to heal him.

"I'm fine, Uncle Piccolo." Gohan shook his head, staring at the battlefield in shock. "Mr. Levos's real body… has actually become this strong…"

"Wow! This Broly has to be the strongest guy we've ever seen, right?" Goku's face was lit with excitement, his whole body trembling. "I really want to fight him too!"

"And what is that transformation Levos is using? I've never seen it before."

Tien, who had already broken through to Super Saiyan 3 after multiple battles in the experimental fields, was equally stunned.

He had thought he would soon master every Saiyan transformation one by one.

Yet now Levos seemed to have developed yet another new form.

"That is the fusion of Super Saiyan 4 and the Beast form. In terms of pure power-up alone, it has already surpassed Lord Beerus."

Goten stepped forward to explain.

"Back then, with that transformation, Mr. Levos's real body fought the three strongest clones of Ozotto, after they had absorbed twelve Gods of Destruction, to a deadlock."

"Goten, are you saying that as long as we master this transformation, we can defeat Lord Beerus?"

"I doubt it's that simple," Piccolo said gravely. "Levos's Saiyan bloodline carries traits from Dark Broly and Gogeta, among others. Only Puar's Kefla-Broly hybrid surpasses it."

"On top of that, he's been modified by Shenron's wish and had his potential stacked again and again. His base strength is monstrously high. His starting point is far above ours."

"Among all of us, only Puar's base comes anywhere close to Levos."

Everyone's gaze turned toward Puar.

"If Puar tried harder and learned Beast stacked with Super Saiyan 4, wouldn't she surpass Levos?"

Puar immediately grew nervous. "I… I don't want to surpass Young Master Levos. As long as I can be his blade and shield, I'm satisfied."

As soon as she said that, she transformed into an axe, and a burst of dazzling green light exploded from her body as she flew toward the center of the battlefield.

"Young Master Levos, Puar wants to fight too."

Close behind her was Android 21.

"He promised he'd stay with me and supervise me. How can he just run off to fight by himself? He really doesn't let anyone relax."

Bulma clicked her tongue.

Deep down, she believed Levos would not lose. She didn't want to get in his way or drag him down. But her expression still turned serious.

"Will Levos… be in danger?"

Bados narrowed her eyes. "Hard to say. What we should be worrying about is not Mr. Levos, but whether Merged Zamasu's seal can hold. If it fails, the whole universe could be contaminated."

"No matter what, stopping Broly from damaging the seal is not Levos's responsibility alone. We should all help!"

With that, Piccolo charged into the battlefield.

Goku, Gohan, and Goten followed after him.

"Gine, stay here. To protect our new home, I have to join this battle."

"In any case, we need Levos to understand that he isn't fighting alone."

After saying that, Bardock and the remaining warriors threw themselves into the battlefield without hesitation.

Fewer and fewer people remained to watch.

Android 18 pulled out a pair of Potara earrings and held them out to Bulma.

"Going?"

"Hmph. Of course we are. We need to keep an eye on him. And that 21, too. Everything she's thinking is written all over her face. We absolutely cannot let her get her way!"

Bulma immediately put on the earring.

A flash of white light burst forth. The fused warrior released a fierce aura and shot forward, overtaking most of the others.

Bejitena's eyes remained locked on the two world-destroying figures in the distance, shock filling them.

In the Saiyan Empire, she had grown up listening to tales of Broly's invincibility.

The ultimate Saiyan warrior said to appear only once in a thousand years. A being with his own terrifying transformation, whose bloodline alone could completely suppress other Saiyans.

"Even with my newly purified Saiyan bloodline, I can barely summon the will to resist the Legendary Super Saiyan…"

Now that she was this close to Broly's overwhelming aura, Bejitena nearly dropped to her knees in fright.

"Dad, I'm going too!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Trunks moved to join the battle.

"No. We can't win."

Bejitena grabbed Trunks by the hand.

"It's fine. Dad, stay here. Don't move around. You'll be safe beside Miss Bados."

"But…"

Trunks thought helplessly to himself.

Dad's pride is too strong. Seeing all these people rush into battle while she hesitates because she knows she's too weak must be crushing her.

So he tried to comfort her.

"A fight on this level… it doesn't matter if you don't go. No one's going to think you're a coward, Dad."

Then Trunks flashed away.

"A-a coward?!"

For some reason, that word struck directly at Bejitena's nerves. Trunks had clearly meant it as comfort, but somehow it still felt like an insult.

"Damn it! I'm not a coward!"

Bejitena shot into the sky at full speed, propelled by sheer stubbornness. In a burst of reckless determination, she overtook many of the others and charged straight at Broly.

Broly had just finished trading a punch with Levos when he noticed the small figure racing toward him.

Without the slightest hesitation, he raised one hand, seized Bejitena by the throat, and slammed her into a giant slab of rock.

"ROOOAAARGH!"

Bejitena screamed in terror and rage.

The next moment, Broly drove her into the rock face, smashing a round crater into it.

Levos's eyelid twitched.

He and Broly had been having a perfectly good fight. Why did someone have to rush in and ruin it?

And Broly, of all things, had suddenly let his biggest opponent go just to bully weak little Bejitena.

And with the entire planet already turned into a sea of fire, how had that smooth, intact cliff wall even survived?

"Dad!"

Seeing that Trunks had already rushed in to rescue her, Levos pushed the thought aside and flashed forward to intercept Broly.

"Don't get distracted. If you've got the guts, then come smash me into the bedrock!"

High above, Levos and Broly had already become two streams of light too fast to follow. Every collision between them split heaven and earth.

Mountains were flattened. Oceans evaporated. Continental plates broke apart and drifted from the violence of their battle.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the span of a heartbeat, they exchanged over a thousand blows. Each punch and kick carried enough power to destroy star systems.

The longer Broly fought, the more alarmed he became.

Levos's strength and speed were not inferior to his own at all.

In terms of technique, Levos even held a slight advantage.

"Impossible! Before Destruction Energy, everything is futile!"

Broly roared as he borrowed the force of their latest punch to fall back. Spreading both hands, he instantly formed dozens of densely compressed dark violet energy spheres around himself.

"Now witness what true destruction is!"

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

The spheres rained down like a meteor storm, bombarding Levos from every direction with no blind spots.

Levos narrowed his eyes.

A gigantic gray-white phantom rose and enveloped him.

Divine Technique Heaven and Earth Manifestation!

Boom boom boom boom!

Explosion after explosion swallowed the phantom whole, painting the entire sky an eerie violet.

"Hahahaha! Despair! In front of my power, you're not even dust "

Broly's laughter stopped dead.

The violet light faded. Levos stood there completely unharmed, one hand slowly raised.

The giant phantom mirrored the movement, and Levos spoke in a calm voice.

"This punch carries a thousand years of power. Can you take it?"

"What?!"

Broly's face twisted in disbelief.

He looked up and saw a fist wrapped in silver-white aura rapidly filling his vision.

BANG !!!

The punch locked onto Broly, giving him nowhere to escape, then smashed into him with full force.

His body spun away like a broken kite and crashed deep into the planet's mantle.

…

Meanwhile, within Big Gete Star, which remained firmly attached to the planet's surface, Cooler's true body watched the battle through the eyes of one of his mechanical duplicates.

"Oh? Levos's strength has grown this much already? A fusion of Beast and Super Saiyan 4… I underestimated him before. In his current state, his potential is no weaker than Broly's. If I can copy him, my army will become unstoppable!"

In another area, Moro floated high in the air, watching from afar as the two colossal forces collided.

"If I could devour both of them…" Moro's eyes burned with desire. "Just how far would my strength rise?!"

He made no move yet.

The snipe waits while the clam and fisherman struggle.

Once those two wore each other down to the point of mutual ruin, he would step in, absorb both of them, and then devour the energy of the entire planet in one go.

That would be the most efficient and perfect plan.

…

On the battlefield, Levos stopped the others from rushing forward to help.

"I appreciate everyone's concern. But this fight… I want to face Broly alone."

Levos had his own pride, but he also understood the concern and loyalty behind everyone's desire to help.

"Don't worry. As long as you want to fight, there'll be battles for everyone."

After reassuring them, he shot straight toward Broly once more.
