174 Storm (1/2)

They travelled through the rift and returned to the normal universe without a problem. After reentering their universe, they gathered together and before they knew it, they appeared in the throne room on Exousia.

After teleporting back home, they told the elites to get some rest. The last few weeks were exhausting for them. Broly was more accustomed to it as he could spent months in meditations without rest.

This little adventure wasn't bad in hindsight. The only constant threat Broly felt on that island was the unknown and the possible schemes Solutus had, but in the end, it turned out even if Solutus had any schemes, he wouldn't be able to see them through as he was as dead as one could be.

He had fused his soul with his body and with his body destroyed, there was no possibility for him to come back without the use of the Super Dragon balls. Broly still only wanted to get to his bed and sleep for a couple of days. The pain he had to endure were burdening to say the least.

Broly stepped outside the castle with the others. He saw a figure on top of the highest skyscraper around watching over the city. It seemed like Daz hadn't relaxed either since they went to hunt the assassins.

The S-fighters quickly flew towards him. The moment he saw them his face lit up and quickly rushed to greet them. Daz hugged Alea and the others and asked them a couple of times if they were okay before he let them go.

His reaction wasn't surprising as they had intended to go into one decisive battle to eradicate them, but they hadn't returned after a few weeks which made the general populace uneasy.

Many speculated if they had lost against the assassins, but this theory was quickly dismissed as no assassin came back to Exousia to finish them off. In fact, after a few days since Broly and company had left, news of the destruction of this organization was made known and spread like a wildfire.

There was a rumor that the headquarters was destroyed and now the roaming assassins in the branches had to go into hiding. After one person took revenge on an assassin and was fine after a couple of days, many laid their eyes on the branches and the roaming assassins.

Mostly emperors of galaxies that had suffered under this organizations hand quickly went wild as they hunted down every assassin their area. They conquered the branches and found many riches that would advance their abilities to another level.

News of the found resources leaked out and many emperors that hadn't any conflicts with the assassins started to take action as well.

This once fearful behemoth was being wiped out from the surface of the universe in a matter of days. Of course, the average person didn't notice anything about the destruction or its aftermath of these assassins. They only noticed that more people were moving around in haste with greedy eyes.

The times for the knowledgeable that wanted a slice of this cake were in for a chaotic time, but risk and rewards went hand in hand, so the participants in this fight for resources kept growing.

It was like a universal agreement between all the knowledgeable and powerhouses that they would uproot this organization once and for all. All over the universe movement could be seen. Not only the tyrannical emperors wanted to participate but the righteous organization as well.

Even the Galactic Patrol went out in the name of justice and started attacking them. Truthfully, the righteous factions were even wilder in their pursuit for these assassins. They made the most noise and it didn't take long before even the most ignorant faction knew of what was going on in the past weeks. After 18 days, however, something changed.

As time went on the emperors that hadn't deeply rooted resentment with them began to be more subtle with their actions.

It felt like they were gathering their strength. Many seemed to make alliances with other emperors around their territory and started to form bigger and stronger forces. They recruited more soldiers and made an effort to strengthen their troops.

Even the righteous factions began to back away after taking their piece and started to do everything to heighten their combat capabilities. Rumor has it that the Kais themselves had ordered them to do so.

It seemed like the whole universe was preparing for a war. The atmosphere on every planet that did interplanetary trade noticed the gloomy atmosphere but only the higher ups knew why they reacted the way they did.
