His arms turned into a blur and seemed to have vanished, only to be replaced by hundreds of mirages that were shooting towards Solutus.

In less than a fraction of a second, Broly's fist hammered down countless times on Solutus.

Solutus' fist that was counterattacking was crushed and his arm bend in an unnatural angle. Red fist marks covered every part of Solutus' upper body and face. The steel like muscles were now dented with fist marks. Steam was coming from the red glowing fist marks. It was like his whole body was freshly branded.

Broly breathed out after finishing his attack and seemed somewhat exhausted. Solutus was still conscious. His eyes were still glowing with determination. He coughed out some blood. Against all expectation, he calmly wiped away the blood with the back of his hand that was holding his sword and then smiled at Broly.

Broly frowned as he looked at Solutus or rather the arm that was holding the sword. Broly had, of course, targeted some attacks on his sword wielding arm, but to Broly's surprise Solutus' arm only had some bruises.

In contrast his other hand that he punched once was completely useless now.

There was also something else. After landing so many hits on Solutus' body and especially on the arm wielding the sword, he noticed some similarities to himself and Solutus. To be more precise, the Kakos' fighting style.

While clashing with Solutus he had felt that they weren't only clashing on a physical level but on a spiritual as well. He first figured that Solutus was using mental energy to enhance himself but that wasn't the case.

Now Broly was sure. Solutus had fused his soul into his flesh and it wasn't something temporary like Broly does with his fighting style.

”It seems like… haaa you have figured… it out.” Solutus was speaking with difficulties. He was already heavily injured, and the winner was already decided. What could he do with only one arm? Of course, Broly didn't think this way, he wouldn't rest until he gave the finishing blow.

Broly's whole body began to glow again and he turned into a light beam, instantly reaching Solutus. Solutus' eyes were bloodshot as he stabbed his sword at Broly's head. Broly easily sidestepped the attack while closing in and stabbed at Solutus' chest with his fingers, trying to rip out his heart.

Just as he was about to reach Solutus, Broly sensed something from the sword. It gave Broly a serious sense of danger. Without hesitation, Broly jumped back. As he retreated a black sphere rapidly expanded out of the sword, swallowing everything within.

Broly was frantically retreating. He could feel the pull of this thing. Only few hundred meters away did the black sphere stop expanding. Broly frowned as he looked at the giant sphere in front of him. Solutus voice suddenly rang out from the sphere.

”Broly, you are indeed strong. If I hadn't fused my soul with my body, you would have decimated me long ago.” Broly was, of course, dissatisfied, he recognized that Solutus' voice didn't sound as injured as before.

The black sphere suddenly shrunk again. It returned and formed into the sword again. Solutus had significantly healed. There were only slight bruises covering his body. He looked at his sword in his hand.

”Tch. This will take a while to recover”

Broly looked at the area the sphere was just a moment ago. Everything in the area was consumed. When Broly was looking at it with his vision of truth, he couldn't see anything, just darkness.

Space and time surrounding the area slowly filled up the area again. Solutus was standing in the middle of it with a serene expression as he focused back on Broly.

”I have to thank you. You delivered what I wanted...” Broly suddenly realized that the demeanor and aura changed of Solutus.

Broly now felt uneasy as he looked at Solutus. Solutus was no longer a warrior type but a sly snake coiling around him and then it vanished completely. 'This bastard fooled me?!' Broly was always confident in his vision, but now every energy signature had disappeared from Solutus like it was never there to begin with. He could only see and not sense him.

”…Now there is only one thing that I need you for.” Solutus seemed to materialize what looked like a remote. Broly was already dashing towards him but before he could reach him, Solutus had pressed on the button.

The whole city seemed to tremble and a loud noise resembling that of an opening gate sounded out.
