Black Goku carried his Ki Scythe arrogantly, pointing its blade directly at Trunks. By now, he had clearly realized that in the earlier exchange, he had held the upper hand.
Trunks might not have suffered serious injuries, but the torn fabric on his pant leg told the story that he hadn't fully reacted in time to the last strike.
Black Goku sneered with pride and taunted Trunks: "Heh… I can tell you very clearly, I only used less than a tenth of my power just now."
With that, he aimed the scythe at Trunks again.
"Your name is Trunks, isn't it?"
He tapped his head lightly, pretending to recall something.
"Oh, that's right. Not too long ago… I killed the Trunks of this world as well. Not just him, but I killed everyone else in this world, too."
He chuckled coldly. "You're stronger than that fool by far. But to me, as I am now… you're nothing more."
His words didn't shock Trunks. But Bulla, standing nearby, clenched her fists tight, her eyes trembling as she glared at Black Goku.
(So it really is as I feared! This time-space… It's the world I once came from! It was this bastard who slaughtered my entire family!)
"BASTARD!!!" Bulla screamed, unleashing her aura as she lunged toward Black Goku.
But before she could close in, a fierce white aura burst out beside her. Gohan grabbed her arm firmly, his overwhelming strength pinning her in place instantly.
"Gohan…!?" Bulla turned to him in confusion.
But Gohan only shook his head, his voice calm yet commanding: "You're not his opponent, Bulla. Calm yourself."
With that, Gohan flew forward to stand at Trunks's side.
"How are you holding up, Trunks?" he asked.
Trunks's expression was grim as he spoke. "This guy's power has increased a lot… and it feels like it's still climbing."
Gohan nodded, his eyes hardening as they locked onto Black Goku. The cautious warrior replayed everything in his mind, since Black Goku's first appearance, he had steadily been on the back foot, yet somehow his strength had been rising at an absurd rate.
And then, there was his endless talk of a "Human Extermination Plan."
The thought made Gohan's fists tighten.
"If we don't take him down now, this arrogant monster might ravage even more timelines. So let's do it together, Trunks!"
Trunks nodded sharply, the two Saiyans locking eyes with the same resolve.
Their united gaze fell upon Black Goku. But he only mocked them with merciless laughter.
"Subdue me? You two? Heh… don't make me laugh. You're right about one thing, though. I will move on to other timelines. I will wipe out every last human in this vast multiverse! I will create a paradise free of huma---"
But mid-sentence, his face froze as a brutal, savage aura was rushing toward him, it was fast and overwhelming.
The next moment, a towering figure appeared before him. The newcomer's expression was feral, twisted with rage, eyes burning with a murderous light.
Then came the deafening roar:
"KA-KA-ROOOT!!!"
From behind Black Goku, an eruption of green energy exploded outward, dazzling and terrifying. Turning around, Black Goku saw him, Broly, transformed into the Legendary Super Saiyan.
Black Goku scoffed in disdain, shouting back: "You wretched mortal! How dare you interrupt the declaration of a god?! Then I shall be the one to pass judgment on you!"
Black Goku waved his arm, and the Ki Scythe instantly dissolved into a blade of energy, slashing straight toward Broly.
"Heh… you're overestimating yourself," Black Goku muttered.
But what happened next left him bitterly disappointed. The energy slash did indeed strike Broly's body, yet it failed to cleave him in half as expected.
That steel-like physique bore only the faintest scratch, so fine it could barely be seen with the naked eye, a mark that would vanish with the passing of a breeze.
"KAKAROT!!" Broly roared, again and again, calling Goku's name.
Clearly, he had mistaken Black Goku for Son Goku himself. This scene did not escape Trunks and Gohan's eyes.
Trunks frowned slightly. "Wait… wasn't this guy supposed to be inside Buu's stomach?"
He turned his gaze toward Majin Buu on the ground, who was intently observing the fight with childlike seriousness. But Trunks's sharp eyes noticed something else: beside Buu lay a foul pile of vomit.
At once, realization dawned on him.
Broly had been trapped inside Majin Buu's body all these years.
Because of bitter lessons from the past, Majin Buu knew very well that absorbing others could corrupt and destabilize his consciousness. And someone like Broly, a pure madman, if absorbed, even Buu himself couldn't be sure what he would become.
So Fat Buu had never actually absorbed Broly, only imprisoned him inside his body.
And during all these years, Broly's Legendary Saiyan passive power had been continuously evolving. Truth be told, even Trunks couldn't imagine just how terrifying Broly's strength might be now.
And in the current situation, Broly had completely mistaken Black Goku for Kakarot.
Trunks tilted his head up, smiling knowingly, and said to Gohan: "Gohan, I don't think the two of us will even need to get involved."
…
High in the sky, staring at the overwhelming presence of Broly, Black Goku couldn't deny his shock, though he refused to yield to it.
Shu! Shu! Shu!
Black Goku unleashed multiple waves of energy blades in succession, each aimed to push Broly back.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The heavy collisions echoed again and again, Broly's massive body staggering backward under the onslaught.
In the next instant, one of the energy blades carved a wound across Broly's chest.
Black Goku smirked smugly. "Hmph. Nothing special after all."
But the injured Broly didn't falter; instead, he grew more excited. He dragged his hand across the bloody gash on his chest, lifted a drop of blood to his lips, and licked it.
Then, with a savage grin, Broly erupted in laughter.
"HAHAHAHA!!! KAKAROT!!!"
His madness surged to the extreme. Suddenly, time itself seemed to freeze as he hung suspended in the air.
"RRAAAHHHH!!!"
With a thunderous roar that shook the heavens, emerald light burst forth, engulfing the entire sky and drowning out Black Goku's rose-colored aura.
At that moment, the power of the Legendary Saiyan ascended to yet another level.
"KAKAROT!! KAKAROT!!"
From the very first moment he laid eyes on Black Goku, Broly's madness had been set ablaze.
The bloodlust grew, the frenzy escalated beyond limits.
His emerald hair stretched down to his waist, Broly had broken through!
The Legendary Super Saiyan 3!
