58 Journey (2/2)

His scream unlike before not only echoed but it caused a giant avalanche to descend the mountain and his fist strike dispersed the clouds above him.

He could retain his conscious without immediately becoming a sadistic rage monster. Although he could still feel that his emotions were heightened, it was nonetheless a success. Now it was time for him to mediate and reduce his output to a livable degree.

He sat down cross-legged and started his meditation, he already had experience with his predecessor state and was quick at work.

Due to his ability to generate lifeforce he was able to go days without food or water. Even oxygen was less important to him. With that in mind he began his week-long meditation, trying to master his full power state.

Even with his previous experience, trying to reduce the energy output of his full power state to a livable degree, first seemed impossible to Broly. But how could it be a legendary form if it was so easy to master?

After a few weeks he was able to easily go in and out of this transformation without completely losing his mind. With this new ability in hand, he restarted his journey. After all this time he was surprised what this planet still had to offer. All kind of animals and views welcomed him every day, as he moved about. The planet was massive, but he would be done soon with his travel as he almost covered the whole planet. In reality after all these years he could have already traversed the whole planet more than once, but this was about the journey itself.

Through traveling this planet leisurely, he could experience the world in a different view. Since he arrived on this he had been rushing forward and loved the quick results his efforts gave, but now he enjoyed the leisure time as well, when he walked through a river or climbed a mountain.

But he didn't prefer one above the other, what he really liked about all this, was that he would be able to decide his path and no one else. Did he want to fly up a mountain or walk against the river currents. Have a nice walk through a forest or blast through it without restraint. The decision on what path and how he wanted to traverse it was up to him.

Although it seemed that his gains would be slower through the lesser amount of efforts, the opposite was true. Through this new perspective he developed new techniques and his control increased tremendously.

Obviously, his mental strength had the biggest increase, through the constant struggle to stay completely conscious. He had gained an iron will, nothing could sway his determination anymore.

Another 3 years passed as he tried to master his legendary state. He had recently turned 16 and still hadn't returned to Elpis once in the last years.

He was now in a wild hot spring enjoying the hot water, while relaxing his whole body, though still in his legendary transformation. He laid down as he felt like he melted away. His mastery had reached great heights.

Suddenly the volcano not far from him erupted in a splendid explosion. Tons of liters of lava descended down to the earth. Broly only looked at, what he would have called a natural disaster in his previous life, with a smile on his face.

He was quite entertained by the sight, but it wasn't something new he experienced. He looked at the volcano and suddenly had the urge to look at it from a close distance.

He slowly walked up the volcano and looked into the crater with boiling lava inside. What surprised him the most was that an island was situated in the middle. What was strange about it, was the fact that green trees were growing in abundance.
