NOVEL WEB Chapter 42 Gone
In a wasteland.
A raging green aura surged outward, pulsing in violent waves from Broly's rapidly expanding form.
The sheer pressure of his Ki shook both land and sky. Trunks and Son Gohan felt it instantly, Broly's power level was rising again, and fast.
"Kakarot… Kakarot! I've finally found you! Hahahaha!!" Broly's crazed laughter echoed through the mountains, his wild eyes now locked directly onto Son Gohan like a predator spotting prey.
The combined attacks from Gohan and Trunks just moments ago hadn't done a thing. Not a scratch.
"Damn it… He really is just like the legends said!" Trunks growled through clenched teeth, already gathering a swirl of energy in his palm.
Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh!
Dozens of energy blasts formed a massive net in the sky, roaring toward Broly all at once like a meteor storm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A towering mushroom cloud exploded into the sky, shrouding Broly's hulking form in smoke and flame.
But Trunks didn't relax, not for a second.
From within the smoke, he could sense it. Broly wasn't hurt. Not even close. Then, a burst of searing heat brushed past the side of Trunks' face.
His instincts screamed at him to dodge but it was too late. Turning slightly, Trunks caught sight of a giant green fist hurtling straight for his temple.
There was no time to dodge.
CRACK---!
The blow landed with a sickening snap, splitting the air as Broly's fist drove into Trunks' forehead.
His body instantly went numb, tossed through the air like a broken doll.
The hit was so brutal that Trunks didn't even realize he'd flown hundreds of meters before slamming into the rocky terrain. His mind was hazy, all he could register was the sickening throb in his skull and the blood spraying from his left temple.
KABOOM!
Trunks' body smashed into a jagged cliffside, kicking up a cloud of dust and rubble like a warhead hitting ground.
This was the power… of the Legendary Super Saiyan.
"TRUNKS!!!" Son Gohan's voice rang out with fury. He shot to his feet, his aura exploding upward in golden flares of power.
Fueled by rage, Gohan launched forward, his body twisting midair as he funneled every ounce of his strength into a punch aimed squarely at Broly's chest.
BAM!
The impact struck dead center, briefly sending a wave of steam rolling off Broly's skin.
But in the blink of an eye, it was gone and Gohan's face twitched in disbelief.
Broly's body, already monstrous, had grown even tougher, enhanced by the dark energy of Babidi's corruption.
The hit had done nothing.
But Gohan didn't stop. His fury wouldn't let him.
He flipped high into the air, twisted his body 360 degrees, and launched a devastating side kick at Broly's sneering face.
SMACK!
A chilling sight followed, Broly didn't flinch. Instead, he reached up and caught Gohan's leg with one hand.
Then came that feral grin.
Without hesitation, Broly yanked Gohan downward, dragging his entire body by the leg like a ragdoll.
Gohan struggled wildly, but Broly's grip was unbreakable.
In desperation, Gohan thrust both hands to his side, ki building rapidly between his palms.
"Kamehame, HA!!!"
BOOM!
The blast shot downward, striking the ground hard. Gohan used the recoil to try and rip himself free from Broly's hold.
"Tch." Broly scoffed, unfazed, not even glancing down. Then his massive hand clamped over Gohan's face.
His bared teeth twisted into a monstrous smile as he pulled Gohan down with raw force.
DUANG--!
Gohan's head was driven into the earth like a hammer into stone.
"AAAGHHH!!!"
His agonized screams echoed through the wasteland, raw, unrelenting.
Bloodied and battered, Trunks slowly dragged himself out of the rubble, bruises dark across his face and arms. His gaze locked on Son Gohan, broken, barely conscious, and being savagely manhandled by Broly.
(No way… Broly's a monster, he's completely unstoppable! Gohan and I can't beat him… not like this!)
Trunks' eyes shifted toward the two Kaiōshin standing nearby. His gaze eventually settled on the earring dangling from one of their ears.
(Dad's still trapped in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber… there's no way he can make it out in time. That means it's just me and Gohan. But Super Saiyan 2 won't be enough this time… not against him. Broly's power is too far beyond us now. There's only one option left, Potara fusion!)
The two Kaiōshin stood in stunned silence, horrified by the sheer brutality Broly had unleashed.
So much so, they didn't even notice the bloodied figure stumbling toward them.
Trunks staggered up to Kaiōshin and Kibito, his body barely holding together. Seeing his battered state, the Supreme Kai's face twisted in guilt. He lowered his head in shame.
"I'm sorry… I… I can't help…"
"Please--" Trunks began, but stopped mid-sentence as a piercing green light flashed across the battlefield.
From Broly's open mouth, Ki particles rapidly gathered, condensing into a beam brimming with monstrous power. The energy wave crackled, radiant and deadly.
(He's going to kill Gohan…! If that blast hits, Gohan's dead! And if Gohan dies, Potara fusion's off the table!)
Trunks steadied himself, planting his feet firmly as he placed one hand over his chest, his fingers locking into the signature stance.
"YOU BASTARD… BROLY!!"
With a roar, Trunks summoned every last shred of his energy into his palm, channeling it into a gleaming golden beam, the Final Flash.
A shockwave of raw power erupted from his hand and streaked toward Broly. But at the last moment, his heart clenched, Trunks flinched and shifted his aim skyward.
The Final Flash tore through the clouds instead of its target.
Broly abruptly stopped charging his mouth blast. Without hesitation, he had pulled the weakened Gohan in front of him like a shield.
If Trunks hadn't pulled back, he would've vaporized Gohan himself.
"Damn it!" Trunks growled, choking on frustration.
Then, without warning, Broly's massive form appeared directly behind him.
Clap!
A single, heavy-handed strike landed squarely on the back of Trunks' neck. His vision dimmed instantly, a wave of cold helplessness flooding through his body.
It happened too fast.
Clang!
Trunks' body crumpled to the ground, lifeless like a marionette with its strings cut.
Just before blacking out, he caught a final glimpse of Broly's vicious face leering down at him. Behind him, Kaiōshin and Kibito stood frozen. They hadn't even seen how Broly moved, he was that fast.
Now both of Earth's last hopes, Son Gohan and Trunks, lay defeated.
Kaiōshin's heart clenched in panic as Broly's clawed hand reached toward them. But in that instant, a thought blazed through his mind.
"Kibito! Use Instant Transmission, get out of here!!"
Kibito reacted without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, he vanished in a flash of light, using advanced Instant Transmission to escape. His destination: Earth.
Broly froze, staring at the empty air before him in disbelief.
Then his gaze dropped, both Gohan and Trunks were gone.
Enraged, he threw back his head and let out a thunderous howl.
A blinding green beam erupted from his mouth, tearing across the wasteland.
Wherever it struck, the world simply crumbled to ash.
