223 I still want to kill you (2/2)

”So, you have wrested yourself from my control.”

Cooler looked at Broly with obvious anger in his eyes but also with hidden fear.

”Hmph. After Whis showed me this 'back entrance' you have placed in my soul, I immediately got rid of it and I don't regret it in the least! I would rather die than be your puppet!!” Cooler began to shout as he vented his frustration. He knew that he would most likely die here.

Broly frowned as he looked at Cooler.

”Man, there is no need to yell. I am like 5 meters away.” He then turned towards Cell. ”Anything you want to add?”

Cell stared at Broly for a silent minute before he spoke out, ”I don't care about it that much. I only respect the strong and currently you are better than me. If I surpass you in the future, you are dead.”

Broly nodded as he heard this.

Although he has different DNA from many warriors, most of it came from Saiyans. It was in their nature to worship the strong. It was also probable that his environment had shaped his attitude.

If one didn't count the years in his cocoon or his birthing chamber, he was technically a child, after all. Besides if there appeared a Saiyan that was stronger than Broly, he would do the same as Cell intends to do.

”You both have done well.”

”Eh?” ”Eh?” Cell and Cooler sounded out at the same time. They couldn't believe it. Was he praising them for escaping his control?

”I myself like to be free and I think it would be wrong to hold some resentment towards you. It didn't affect me in the least as well. So, you have shown yourself worthy to be free. You are free to go.”

With a wave of his hand the sturdy and tall gate opened, revealing their way to freedom.

”If you still want to stay and work for me, you are welcome. If you don't want to, there is the door. I will give you the chance and not attack you if you don't provoke me.”

”I have decided to work for you, at least for now.” Cell said with crossed arms. Broly just nodded.

Cell used to be incomparable prideful and arrogant. The other Super Saiyans and his friends had humbled him deeply.

Furthermore, he is still ambitious and wants to surpass and eventually replace me. He will achieve great power.

Cooler on the other hand…

He gritted his teeth before he turned around to walk out of the throne hall. ”Cooler!” Broly called out to him again, which made Cooler halt in front of the doorstep.

”You are a Frost Demon Emperor. You have an army and loyal subjects. You are ambitious and want to rule the universe.

I can see and understand that, but there will be only one ruler left in the end. The strongest will stand at the peak and the weak will only gather the scraps that have fallen to the ground. There is also only so much you can achieve with schemes, but surely you already knew this.”

With these words Broly's figure had disappeared from the throne, leaving only his echoes in the hall.

Cooler clenched his fists before proceeded to go outside.

From this point onwards he needed to go all out, otherwise he would end up dead or worse, live in mediocrity.

*****

Broly was now beginning to search for the universe for some particular beings that would be hopefully enough to entertain Kakarot.

It didn't take long until he landed on a now barren planet. There were only ruins on this planet from a civilization that had been destroyed not long ago.

”What do you want?!” An aggrieved voice screamed out in the distance. Broly quickly headed there and looked at the play that was unfolding in front of his eyes.

Several figures of different stature were surrounding a group of simple looking villagers. One by one the figures killed the group until no one was left. Even children weren't spared.

Broly could only lament in his heart. Due to these figures intervention another trading partner has been lost and a planet was in ruins.

It would take several decades for the planet to recover and millions of years for another civilization to pop up. Nevertheless, he was still happy to have found him this easily.

”Who goes there??” One of them seemed a bit panicky and hurriedly turned towards Broly's direction.

Broly was still in thoughts and began to mumble to himself.

”The first present for Goku. After I collected the three of them, I will be able to have my rebirth.”
