52 Mastermind (1/2)

As he went further inside the cave, it started descending deeper underground. After an hour he was already hundreds of kilometers into the ground. The CEs he encountered became less in number but also increasingly stronger. Every CE he encountered already was comparable to high-level class A's and more of them even exceeded that level by a margin. Strangely every CE had faces of a Saiyan, there were no other races to be seen.

Although they had had greatly grown in strength, for Broly they were still all the same, as he obliterated everyone in his path into nothingness. Even before his 3 weeks of training, they would have been no match for him, even less now.

After a while a light shone at the end of the tunnel. Strangely it was a bright white light. Broly thought, if there were lights underground it would have been magma, but he didn't feel any rise of temperature. Without hesitation he flew into the light, only to step into a smooth white tunnel.

Broly was stunned. Although CEs weren't dumb, they weren't on the level to build something on this level deep underground. Their tactics in war and their behavior showed that they had only some degree of intelligence and with the exception of Paragus and Cherry there were no indication of possible communication. In general, they were just thought as beasts.

Broly stopped for a moment but he was still in his legendary form, so it didn't take more than a second for him to move forward. He currently couldn't think reasonable. He just thought it was a bit odd before preceding to go on. With his amplified arrogance and rage he had no sense of danger if the threat wasn't imminent.

He shot through the tunnel. He didn't stop anymore as he searched for more CEs to kill. After a minute of a straight tunnel, he came across a fork. He looked at both corridors to see if he could perceive any lifeforce at either tunnel.

He didn't have to investigate much longer as he saw a Saiyan with black liquid running through his veins rushing towards Broly from the left corridor. The Saiyan shouted as he punched out.

Broly tilted his head, evading the punch easily. He grabbed the head of the Saiyan and slammed it into the wall. Surprisingly the wall was incredible tough, not giving in at all. The head though gave in on impact, instantly turning into a bloody mush.

It painted the wall red with black liquid mixed in it.

”Tch… the left corridor it is then.” He looked down the tunnel, before he again started speeding further down, not realizing that the black liquid followed and entered his body. The situation where he was attacked at a fork, repeated itself numerous times. The only difference was that the enemies became stronger. An hour of this farce continued until he entered a massive white hall.

A gigantic black sphere was suspended high in the air. It slowly spun as suddenly a black thread burst out, looking like a solar flare.

It appeared to be a sun except that it didn't gave off any heat or light. It didn't even affect the light of the walls. But it had lifeforce. It wasn't only massive, it was indescribable. It was truly a sun made out of lifeforce.

Broly waved his hand. A dozen of ki spheres shot out of his hand heading towards the black sun. It resembled the lifeforce form the CE and even Broly felt threatened by it a bit. But before they could reach the sun, a blur appeared. The ki spheres were reflected, heading straight back at Broly, reaching him at an even higher velocity than he shot them out.

Broly just scoffed at the display.

”Ha!”

He produced a ki shockwave, sending the ki spheres off course, exploding all around him. Unexpectedly the spheres did no damage to the walls or the ground, as they were still spotless.

He looked at the figure that appeared, but it was just an unfamiliar face. He was a Saiyan with a tail. Broly detected his energy and his lifeforce didn't show any difference compared to normal people. With the lack of black liquid in the veins, it was obvious that this figure wasn't being controlled.
