Broly felt his body being healed almost instantaneously. His soul, however, was hardly affected. Of course, a healthy body helped his soul to stabilize, since his body and soul are dependent on each other, but he still felt like his head was splitting apart. The Senzu bean was able to heal the cells in his body and bring his ki back to near 100 percent, but it didn't really affect his additional lifeforce, magic power or his soul. He would need some time to replenish his lifeforce and his magic power but that wasn't really a problem.
To heal his soul, he would need much time of rest and meditation as well. Maybe he could use the power of the Origins Spirit Crystals to accelerate the healing process.
In the meantime, he probably shouldn't use any soul-based techniques for a while, but he didn't really rely in fights on those anyway. The only soul technique that was useful in battles was Kakos' fighting style.
In fact, he had gained some insights in the fight just now. Before this fight he just relied on getting the feeling similar to when Kakos fought in his body, now he somewhat understood how it actually worked.
He just needed to use his soul to feel every strand, every sparkle of energy inside the body part he wanted to use the technique on. He then needed to actively control and infuse his soul with every bit of energy with every move he made. With this, his energy would be used up perfectly without any loss. Still he was a bit confused.
Although this could help him use everything he had to the maximum, it didn't explain why his strength rose so dramatically. He should have only be able to jump one or two levels, but this demon was far above him, he may have even reached the level of gods.
With his vision he could tell that space and time was pushed away from his fists, but he didn't know why it made such a big difference.
From what he knew, immense power could distort, push or even rip apart space and time but why was he so much more powerful with that technique? Had it something to do with his soul? Maybe he missed something. He would probably only be able to figure out why his strength increases that ridiculously if he mastered this technique.
There was also the question about why he was able to use his soul in that way at all. Normally when he uses soul-based techniques, he never really used his soul itself but mental energy, which comes from the soul. Basically, the soul was the core, the source, and he just uses the energy it produced.
It may be, because of the Origins Spirit Crystal that he was able to use his soul directly.
Broly couldn't help but frown. He wasn't sure if it was a good thing that he was using the source of his being, even if it was able to grant him that much power. He also realized how terrifying Kakos' soul actually was.
He was able to contend against gods of destruction with only his Legendary Super Saiyan form as the base and he almost took over his body. Broly felt lucky that Kakos used his ki core to place his soul in. If Kakos used his soul center in the middle of his head as the start point, Broly would have been easily taken over. Broly had no clue, why Kakos didn't do it, but he also wouldn't figure that out by merely pondering over it.
Now he only needed to focus on healing. Although the injury was annoying, it wasn't something too complex to recover from. He either took his time with the healing process or uses another crystal to accelerate the process. On the side note, he felt like his soul will come back stronger than ever.
Broly was thinking about his next move until his body was almost blown away from a gust of wind. In front of him stood a grinning figure, who opened his mouth to speak, before his whole body shined brightly. Two figures suddenly were pushed out to the sides out of the light. Gogeta had just defused. Goku and Vegeta were stumbling a few steps before regaining their balance.
Goku breathed out in relief and Vegeta crossed his arms while looking as grumpy as ever.
”Oh man, that Mechi-something was strong!” Goku said.
”Hmph. If you don't think you can handle him than just leave him to me.” Vegeta snorted at Goku. They both looked pretty beat.
Broly frowned after hearing what Vegeta just said.
”What do you mean? Did you let him escape?” Broly's expression darkened.
”After we kicked him into a mountain, he disappeared, escaped to another timeline.”
Broly was speechless.
'Why did they kick him into a mountain just kill him with a ki blast and be done with it… I can't really talk, I tend to play with my opponents as well.'
Broly took a deep breath in.
”Then what are you standing here? Search for him and end this farce!”
”You think you can order me around, the prince of all Saiyans?!” A vein on Vegeta's forehead bulged as he heard Broly order him as if he owned the place.
”You, the prince? I don't remember having such an incompetent son.” Broly grinned as he looked at Vegeta exploding in anger while dashing towards him. Goku quickly held Vegeta back before he could throw a punch. Broly just looked at Vegeta amused as if he didn't see Vegeta trying to attack him.
”We should all come down, we are all on the same side, right? Eh… That reminds me. Broly didn't you hate me?” Goku said while holding Vegeta back. Vegeta was shouting at Goku to let him go, not because he wanted to attack Broly again, but because he was being awkwardly held by Goku from behind.
”I think you are talking about another version of me… Do you two want to get a room?”
”A room?” Goku was punched by Vegeta in the face. ”Ow, Vegeta, what was that for?”
