Kale lashed out with a kick to Paragus's lower abdomen as if by conditioned reflex.
"Pfft!"
Paragus violently spurred a jet of blood; he felt as though his intestines had been shattered by that single kick!
Originally, he had intended to feign injury to win Vegeta's sympathy. According to his calculations, how much strength could a child like Kale possibly possess?
The result was that a single kick left him critically injured, his expression twisted in extreme agony. He had originally thought this would just be highly insulting; he never expected the physical damage to be massive as well!
Ino smiled. Dumbfounded, aren't you? Trying to play mind games with me?
Kale looked frail enough to be blown away by the wind, with arms and legs as thin as hemp stalks. In reality, however, her battle power in her base state—without even gathering ki—exceeded 100,000. Could his measly few thousand battle power possibly withstand that?
The little girl still didn't want to kill anyone. Combined with her inability to control her energy properly, she hadn't even unleashed ten percent of her full power.
"I told you to hold back your strength, but you held back a bit too much. Did you not get enough to eat earlier? I'll take you to get ice cream in a bit, alright? We'll get the biggest kind."
She pinched Kale's small cheek. The little girl looked a bit embarrassed; she indeed hadn't eaten her fill at Son Goku's house earlier...
"Me too! Me too!"
Hearing the mention of ice cream, Himawari immediately became hyperactive.
Seeing them chatting amongst themselves, Vegeta flew into a rage. "I told you to stop! Did you not hear me?!"
He strode forward. Ino cast a nonchalant glance in his direction.
Vegeta felt his body instantly become incredibly heavy. The sudden descent of pressure nearly bent his waist. Nappa stood to the side, looking at him strangely. What's the meaning of this? Weren't you taking big strides forward? Why did you suddenly stop and break out in a sweat?
Vegeta also looked around; this peculiar gravity seemed to be acting solely upon him.
He gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward.
Initially, it was 100 times gravity. Then it became 200 times, 300 times. Ino continued to raise the stakes. When it increased to 500 times gravity, the proud Saiyan Prince began to falter. Without the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan, he was at a severe disadvantage. The muscles in his legs and lower back twitched abnormally, sweat completely soaked the ground beneath his feet, and his face contorted from the excessive exertion.
"Vegeta, what's wrong with you?"
Even the obtuse Nappa noticed the problem by this point. He subconsciously looked at Ino. Ino looked over in turn, giving him a look that said, 'Figure it out yourself.'
His reaction was extremely fast; he hurriedly shifted two steps to the left and simultaneously pointed at Videl on her side, signaling: I'm on your side! I don't know this Vegeta guy at all!
Vegeta held the breath in his chest; every step was difficult to the extreme, yet he continued to inch forward against the high gravity.
Son Goku popped out from some unknown corner.
Standing beside Vegeta like a giant monkey, he mimicked his movements, trembling as he walked forward. He asked curiously from time to time, "Vegeta, why are you doing this motion? Is it some new type of training method? This movement is actually quite tiring, though..."
Paragus soon received another kick. He felt as if the bones all over his body were shattered; his lungs had been pierced by broken ribs, and his life had entered a countdown.
Disregarding whether it was time to reveal his trump card or not, he used all his remaining strength to scream hoarsely, "Broly! Broly, come! Come save me quickly! Save me!"
His voice echoed all around. Inside the egg-shaped spaceship, a tyrannical ki suddenly rose up. This ki had been very weak previously; it was only after hearing Paragus's call that it suddenly intensified.
Ino's face was calm as water as she looked toward the spaceship's hatch. Sure enough, the Legendary Super Saiyan! Is the super warrior claimed to appear only once every thousand years finally about to take the stage?
A young man, a little over two meters tall with dull eyes and an expressionless face, walked out of the spaceship.
He was shirtless, wearing gold rings capable of suppressing energy on his head, neck, and upper arms.
His muscle definition was only average, and he appeared completely lifeless.
Upon walking out of the hatch, he didn't immediately look at his own father. Instead, following some innate connection, he looked toward... Son Goku!
"Kakarot!..."
He didn't know the meaning of this name, but the moment he saw Son Goku, the name subconsciously surfaced in his mind. Accompanying it was an even more intense, violent emotion.
The hatred came abruptly. He was clearly seeing Son Goku for the first time, yet he wanted to tear this person's body to shreds, bite through his throat, and completely erase this person's ki, voice, and scent from this world, so that he could never cry again...
The biceps on his arms bulged involuntarily. His body grew two centimeters taller. His originally well-proportioned figure suddenly became incredibly robust. At a glance, his entire body was covered in explosive, oppression-filled muscles.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Son Goku had a sense for malice. He whipped his head around, discovering he didn't recognize this Saiyan, yet the opponent's target seemed to be him...
"Broly! Come save me! Save me!"
As the father who had lived with him for many years, Paragus was most familiar with Broly's ki.
He didn't know that because Broly and Son Goku happened to be "neighbors" when they were born—both in nursing capsules—Broly was born with a battle power of over 10,000. His overflowing evil ki had terrified the newborn Kakarot. The infant Kakarot had cried incessantly, crying until Broly wanted to snap his neck. This hatred ran even deeper than Kale's fear of Frost.
Paragus was unaware of these past events; he only wanted his son to hurry up and save him, because he was about to die.
Broly hadn't reached the level where his filial piety granted him strength. Unless he was completely insane, he would usually accept his biological father's commands.
The energy inhibitors on his head, neck, and upper arms exerted a superb effect. He suppressed the fury in his heart and looked toward Ino's direction.
"Is this your trump card? Doesn't look like much."
A cryptic light similarly flashed in Ino's eyes as she smashed 500 times gravity directly onto Broly's body.
Ignored!
Broly's body was many times stronger than Vegeta's. He walked forward expressionlessly, his pace neither fast nor slow. He soon passed by Vegeta and Son Goku. His fists clenched and unclenched several times, but in the end, he didn't make a move against Son Goku.
The fierce, violent ki on Broly's body stimulated Kale. It was a bit like "one mountain cannot contain two tigers." The little girl subconsciously clenched her fists, her slender body swelling up bit by bit. Her pupils vanished rapidly, and her suppressed rage was about to erupt like a volcano.
Ino slapped the back of her head, halting the little girl's Broly-style transformation.
Her adopted daughter snapped out of it, turning her head with a rather aggrieved look, as if asking why her dad hit her.
"Go! Go stay in the back. With me here, no one can bully my daughter!"
