Over the past two years, with the Four Heavenly Kings joining one after another, Ino had rarely taken to the field herself.
Her reliance had never been physical strength. From the beginning, standing still and outputting ninjutsu, to Sage Arts and Divine Arts, and finally to the Time Power recently excavated bit by bit from her bloodline—possibly stemming from her attributes as a transmigrator—these were her foundation. The muscular strength in her body was merely an incidental improvement.
However, in this Legendary Super Saiyan state, Broly was immune to fear, vertigo, life steal, negative energy, petrification, and a whole host of other abilities. There was really no other way; she had to go up. Ino could only roll up her sleeves and fight him personally.
She allowed her energy to pour into the 365 acupuncture points of her body and soul in an explosive manner. Her golden Rinnegan shone brilliantly as she instantly entered the Super Otsutsuki 2 state.
Her base battle power of 30 million multiplied thirteen-fold, reaching a height of 390 million.
The surging aura made Vegeta look askance. Nani? This trick-playing woman actually had such strong battle power!
Set against the backdrop of the Super Saiyan's 200 million and the Namekian's 100 million, Ino's battle power of nearly 400 million immediately stood out, attracting Broly's gaze.
"Good! Take a punch from me!"
Broly ignored Piccolo behind him. His figure moved like lightning, emitting a loud whoosh, and rushed right in front of her, throwing a punch straight at her face.
The opponent's immense strength was simply incredibly powerful. One punch to take down Son Goku, one kick to take down Vegeta—it really wasn't boasting. Ino once again used the skill she had used when controlling Nappa.
Like performing Tai Chi, she raised her hands emptily, using Time Power as a shield. A formless, intangible "grid" intercepted Broly's rushing punch. After the "grid's" tension reached its limit, she added her own power and rebounded it back.
"Time Accumulation Art!"
The towering Broly was punched in the lower abdomen, retreating seven or eight meters in a row, his feet plowing two deep grooves in the ground.
"Hmm?" Broly tilted his head, not quite understanding this method of attack.
He threw punch after punch, launching a barrage of fierce attacks. Ino's eyes stared dead at his movements, not letting a single error slip by. Blocking, parrying, counterattacking—her set of defensive moves was watertight. While she couldn't say she had the upper hand, stalling for time was absolutely no problem.
Seeing an opportunity, Son Goku used Instant Transmission to appear directly in front of Broly, his hands cupped in the shape of a flower calyx to gather energy.
Broly was having a hard time being hit by the "Time Accumulation Art". It was a stifling feeling of having strength but being unable to use it.
In his beast-like intuition, Ino wasn't terribly fierce, but her reliance on strange means to infinitely reflect his attacks was very annoying.
Now that Son Goku was outputting damage directly in his face at zero distance, he chose to ignore it.
"Kamehameha!"
A shockwave emitting dazzling blue light struck Broly's chest. The massive energy stirred up billowing smoke and dust. Ino, Vegeta, and the others hurriedly retreated. Son Goku clenched his teeth, constantly increasing the power, but the figure in front of him still stood straight as a pen.
The smoke dissipated. Broly was unscathed, his massive frame still full of oppressive force. He revealed an extremely contemptuous cold smile at Son Goku.
It was as if he were saying: Is that it? I gave you a chance, but you're useless!
His full-power strike having no effect dealt a massive blow to Son Goku's confidence. His usually incomparably optimistic face was covered in gloom. Broly grabbed his crab-shaped hair, raised his left leg, and knee-slammed him fiercely in the lower abdomen. Son Goku collapsed into the mud like a cooked shrimp and didn't stand up for a long time.
Vegeta let out a loud roar, hitting Broly's chin with an uppercut. The opponent only tilted his head slightly, then sent Vegeta flying with an even more powerful uppercut.
Piccolo launched a surprise attack from behind, his moves sharp and fierce, but his palms felt like they were cutting into steel. The opponent suddenly turned around. Piccolo retreated continuously, firing a string of shockwaves, but Broly maintained an unhurried pace, walked up to him, and knocked him down with one punch.
"Death Beam!"
Ino raised a finger, using Frieza's move. A crimson energy beam shot toward Broly's chest.
This move of Frieza's, which gathered most of one's energy to fire instantly, had very strong killing power.
Broly didn't take this move with his muscles. A green energy shield similar to No. 17's appeared on his body surface, blocking the beam. Then he accelerated abruptly, swinging an arm thicker than Ino's waist, and blasted out a punch.
Ino gauged the direction, used her time delay ability to accumulate the enemy's force, and then reflected it back again.
Difficult! The fight was extremely difficult.
Piccolo and Nail had either broken hands or broken feet; both were barely holding on. Vegeta couldn't swallow the anger in his heart, getting up repeatedly only to be knocked down repeatedly.
Ino, the refined person, had actually become the main force.
As they fought, she also felt puzzled. Two brave men went aside to fuse, but aren't we missing one person on our side? Is someone slacking off?
Amidst the busyness, she swept a glance below.
With this look, her scalp tingled.
She saw Son Goku with a face full of pain, clutching his heart with his left hand, his body curled up into a ball.
Heart disease? An early onset?
Vegeta was very unhappy and cursed loudly: "Kakarot! Stand up! Don't be like a coward!"
Good grief, just a moment ago four Super Saiyans were fighting side by side, and in the blink of an eye, I'm the only one left? Are you guys messing with my head?
"Kakarot?" Following their gaze, Broly also saw the curled-up Son Goku.
Grinning hideously, he shot a ball of green energy from his palm, preparing to finish off this arch-enemy.
Ino used Instant Transmission to get there and slapped the energy ball away.
Son Goku couldn't die, at least not so meaninglessly.
Dende braved the huge threat to run out and heal, but heart disease was not within the scope of healing jutsu.
"Lord Kai! Mr. Nail, it's no good! My ability can't cure Mr. Son!" Dende shouted anxiously from below.
"This idiot just didn't take his medicine... Dende, take him home; there should be medicine at his house!"
Ino opened the Crossing Moon Bridge leading to Earth. She thought for a moment about the specific landing point.
Chichi was still taking Gohan to sort out the transfer student matter; she didn't seem to be home.
Who should she look for? Is Bulma home? Krillin seems to be on the road? No time to think in detail; she opened the door directly next to Himawari.
Himawari had been to Mount Paozu and knew Chichi and her son. She was also usually very clever. Even though she was a child, a six-year-old child from the ninja village was more reliable than many adults here on Earth. She should be able to solve this matter.
"Quick, take him and go!"
Dende also possessed the ability to fly. Carrying a nearly comatose Son Goku was no problem at all.
He raced against time, running toward the bridge.
Broly said viciously: "Don't even think about running!"
He dove down, seeming prepared to destroy both the people and the bridge together.
"Every single one of you is forcing me! Kaio-ken x2!"
Ino clenched her teeth, enduring the intense pain coming from inside her bones. Outside the glittering golden Super Otsutsuki 2 state, she was wrapped in another layer of even more scorching red aura.
