Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 550 Mechanism Cycle Structure, Spiral-Style Takeoff Combat Power

The imposter in front of him had also transformed into a Super Saiyan, and in terms of aura, the opponent was no less powerful than himself.

Just as the fake Broly was gathering a new gravity energy blast in his hand, preparing to attack with even more ferocious power, Broly suddenly raised his palm towards his opponent.

"Hey, are you going to raise your hands and surrender?"

Upon seeing this, the fake Broly actually stopped.

"No, what I mean is, can we not use energy blasts?"

Bro asked in a consultative tone.

"Are you afraid?"

The fake Broly raised an eyebrow.

"It's not that I'm scared, but given our current situation, if we randomly throw energy blasts, we might accidentally blow up the planet below. I don't want my friends to be affected, and you probably don't want your friends to be affected either, right?"

Broly's words made the fake Broly think, and after only a second or two, he nodded: "You make a good point."

He deliberately dispersed the gravity energy blast in his hand.

"Whoo~"

Broly breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you won't use energy blasts, then let's settle this with our fists and feet!"

The fake Broly changed his attack plan, but just then, he was stopped by Broly's raised hand.

"What's wrong with you?"

The flying figure abruptly stopped in mid-air. The fake Broly looked at the real Broly, who seemed a bit troublesome, with some dissatisfaction.

"In Super Saiyan form, even without energy blasts, we can cause immense damage with just our fists and feet."

As Broly spoke, he casually threw a punch at the waves that had been pushed back by the gravitational energy and were now surging back towards the shore. The wind pressure shattered the giant waves, exposing the seabed once again.

In Super Saiyan mode, even a punch that misses its target generates tremendous force.

"I'd like to find a different place to fight, is that okay?"

"Okay, where do you want to go to get it?"

The fake Broly has no objection, but the genuine Broly raises its index finger towards the sky.

The next moment, the real and fake Broly disappeared together, leaving only layers of contrails and sonic booms resembling those of an airplane, proving that they had gone to a higher point in the sky.

"Oh, Xiaoyu, what happened here?"

Sheriff Black finally arrived with drinks and hot dogs. Seeing the once beautiful coastline now in ruins, he dropped the items in his hands and immediately asked Xiaoyu for help.

"Has a magical storm broken out here?"

“Sheriff Black, I think it’s worse than the storm. The Holy Lord stole the talisman and created a fake Broly. They’ve come looking for trouble with us.”

The devastation of the coastline here was caused by the fight between the fake Broly and Broly.

Xiaoyu explained the reason for the scene, but Sheriff Blake was somewhat skeptical: "Impossible, the Twelve Charms are in District Thirteen right now, it's very safe there."

"You can call and ask."

Xiaoyu suggested that she didn't want to waste her time trying to persuade the stubborn person, so it would be better to let Sheriff Blake confirm it properly.

“Yes, Sheriff Black, the twelve charms are in the room. They have never left our District 13.”

Sheriff Black quickly contacted District 13, then put his phone on speakerphone so Jade could listen to the report from the staff.

"Perhaps you should send someone in to check if the talisman is genuine."

Xiaoyu took the phone and gave the suggestion to the person on the other end of the line.

“Sheriff Black, the talisman is fake; it’s made of plaster.”

Not long after, exclamations came from the other side.

"See, I told you the talisman was stolen."

"This is a serious matter, Xiaoyu. Do you know where the talisman is?"

Sheriff Blake immediately became serious.

“I know some of the talismans are on that fake Broly.”

Xiaoyu answered.

"So where is that guy now?"

Sheriff Blake immediately pressed for more information.

"They've gone to heaven."

Xiaoyu raised her index finger and pointed to the sky.

"But I can't see anything."

Sheriff Black looked up at the sky, but even though the sky was clear, he couldn't see anything, because the real and fake Broly had already reached the middle level.

This airspace is at least fifty kilometers above the ground. It would be a miracle if Sheriff Blake, a normal human being, could see anything with the naked eye.

"We might need a telescope."

Xiaoyu suggested.

"I need to get the satellites working; I need to know the current situation in the skies above the resort island."

However, Sheriff Black had a better solution: he simply had the staff of District 13 send over the satellite footage.

Xiaoyu followed him to the camouflage villa in the direction of the forest, and the two quickly spotted an abnormal cloud area in the satellite image.

"That's the spot! Zoom in on the image!"

The image was magnified, showing two golden figures colliding repeatedly in the sky.

They move at extremely high speeds, and when the satellite zooms in from above, they often lose their tracks.

"No, it's too fast. We need to zoom out the camera."

Only when the camera zooms out can the movement trajectories of the two small golden dots be clearly seen.

They sometimes collided, sometimes separated, and sometimes became entangled.

There was no sound, but Xiaoyu and Sheriff Black, watching, seemed to be able to imagine the violent collision sound that would occur when the two clashed at high speed.

Judging from the visuals, it doesn't seem as spectacular as the battle against the Thunder Demon, but considering that this is an aerial view taken by satellite.

The visual reference is a vast expanse of sea and air as a backdrop, yet two small dots can move at great speeds, striking each other from one side to the other and back again. Sheriff Blake could understand the horror of this situation.

This is probably the newest type of fighter jet in the world; you can't even touch the soles of two tiny dots moving at the same speed.

Which one is Broly?

Amazed, Sheriff Blake asked the question.

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Xiaoyu stared speechlessly at Sheriff Black. The camera zoomed out and the people shrank, but the speed was still very fast. How could anyone tell who was who?

"Can Broly beat the fake Broly?"

Sheriff Black asked the question he most wanted to know.

"Oh, right, there's this too, Sheriff Black. The fake Broly has the Dog Talisman and the Horse Talisman on him, so he's immortal. Furthermore, the fake Broly's strength keeps increasing as Broly unleashes even greater power. We must contact Dad immediately and have him concoct a potion to remove the talismans."

Xiaoyu is reliable. She remembered some of the details about the fake Broly that Broly had mentioned earlier, and now she's taking direct action to defeat the imposter Broly.

After contacting his father via satellite phone, Sheriff Blake took Jade and boarded the same helicopter they had used to get there, heading back to San Francisco.

"Broly, you have to hold on."

Xiaoyu carried her tablet the whole way, watching the satellite images of the battle from above, silently cheering for her best friend.

Even if she couldn't tell which of the two golden dots in the picture was the real Broly, it didn't stop her from doing so.

As the saying goes, when things are going well, you rely on Jackie Chan; when things are going badly, you rely on your father; and when things are desperate, you rely on Jade.

Although Jade is now playing a role, she has already arranged for her father to prepare the key item to defeat the fake Broly—the potion to retrieve the talisman.

However, at this moment in the troposphere, Broly, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the fake Broly, was not in dire straits.

On the contrary, Broly's current power is like an inflating balloon, being propelled by the strongest concept that has never had any effect before.

When God created the fake Broly, he implanted other spells, believing that this would help the fake defeat the real Broly. This idea was not wrong.

After Broly revealed his true strength, and the counterfeit Broly's combat power rose to the same level as him, the slight boost from the talisman became the key to the counterfeit Broly's strength surpassing the real Broly by a tiny margin.

However, the Holy Lord was unaware that Broly possessed a power of rules similar to a talisman, which could temporarily amplify combat power when facing enemies stronger than himself, representing the strongest concept in the Star Grail world of Alteshu.

While it didn't work against the future version of himself in the Six Faces world, it was effective against the imposter version of himself in this world. He didn't confuse the two, treating Broly and the fake Broly as the same entity, and that was the first time it worked.

The result was that the fake Broly, due to the talisman, was slightly stronger than Broly, triggering Broly's strongest concept and causing him to surpass Broly in strength.

However, because the real Broly demonstrated even greater power, the Rat Charm's ability to revive inanimate objects and restore their counterparts (the strongest concept cannot be replicated) brought the fake Broly's power to a new peak, surpassing even the real Broly.

Then, the cycle continues. It's less a battle between Broly and the fake Broly, and more a clash between the strongest concept of the Star Grail world and the power of rules formed by the combination of the twelve talismans of this world.

At this moment, the two were like representatives of the righteous and the dark forces of this world. Because the rules on their bodies overlapped and formed a cycle, a mechanism of the left foot stepping on the right foot was formed, and their strength continued to rise irrationally.

Fortunately, we agreed not to use energy blasts.

Broly felt the immense power surging within his body and was somewhat relieved that the imposter opposite him was also an honest person who kept his promises.

Otherwise, with this ever-increasing power, if they were to fight using energy blasts or techniques that release qi outwards, they might accidentally destroy the entire planet below.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

During the fierce battle, Broly also began to get injured.

However, the fake Broly has the Horse Charm, while the real Broly also has healing magic.

With their current strengths roughly equal, it's impossible for either of them to inflict a fatal wound on the other; instead, they've created a peculiar balance of power.

After confirming that his opponent would not break the agreement and use the energy blast at will, Broly stopped worrying and began to enjoy this rare, evenly matched battle where he wasn't the one playing the role.

As the saying goes, a battle between equals is the most interesting, and when the skill gap is small, the real and fake Broly, with their right fists punching each other in the face, feel like they are looking in a mirror, and both of them have excited smiles on their faces.

It doesn't matter whether it's real or fake; at this moment, there are only two Saiyans excited by their evenly matched battle, venting their surging fighting desires.

Dopamine is being released, and the pleasure of fighting outweighs the pain from the brawl.

. . . . .

"Dad has already prepared the potion to remove the talisman, but the problem is, how are we going to deliver the potion to Broly, who is currently fighting the enemy in the sky?"

The old man's words stunned Jade and Sheriff Black, who had just arrived at the antique shop; they hadn't considered this question before.

"Chief Black?"

Jade looked at the bald sheriff, wanting to ask if he had a way to send the potion up to Broly, but she received a disappointing reply.

"Unfortunately, Broly has now reached the altitude of the Carmen Line, a place that can only be reached by satellites and spaceships."

"Ah, are we just going to watch Broly fight alone and do nothing about it?"

Xiaoyu is now feeling a sense of loss because she can't help her friend.

"That fake Broly has dog and horse charms on him. His condition will remain at its peak, and Broly will be worn down to death."

Unaware of the effects of the strongest concept, Tama naturally worried about her good friend's situation. However, in reality, Althu's strongest concept was constantly increasing Broly's stamina limit, and there was no sign that his energy was running out.

"Hey, it seems they've stopped."

Just as the atmosphere in the antique shop was becoming somewhat gloomy, the two small golden dots on the satellite image stopped. Tru noticed them and immediately alerted the people around him.

"Has the winner been determined?"

. . . . .

Broly and the fake Broly didn't end up with a clear winner, but...

I'm hungry, are you?

Broly rubbed his rumbling stomach, raised his hand again to stop the fight, and asked the imposter opposite him.

"Uh, I'm hungry too."

Upon hearing this, the fake Broly's stomach also growled.

"How about we pause the fighting and go down for a meal first?"

Broly suggested.

After he finished speaking, he added, "I can treat you to dinner."

Upon hearing this, the fake Broly's eyes widened: "You're going to treat me to dinner?"

"Ah."

After receiving a definite answer, the fake Broly developed a much stronger liking for the real Broly.

"Broly, you're such a good person. By the way, what are you going to treat me to?"

The fake Broly gave the real Broly a friendly welcome and then inquired about him.

"You can eat whatever you want. I have a job in District 13. The chefs there can make a lot of different kinds of food, and they all taste great."

. . . . .

The two Broly disappeared from the satellite image, and by the time Sheriff Black received the news, the dining hall in District 13 was already under attack by both the real and fake Broly.

"So, you've turned enemies into friends just like that?"

Upon arriving at District 13, Sheriff Black was astonished to see the two Brolys sitting harmoniously together eating in the dining hall.

However, not only was he incredulous, but even the world, where the righteous and dark forces were gradually boiling over due to the fierce battle between the real and fake Broly, was somewhat bewildered by the fact that the two suddenly stopped fighting and shook hands to make peace.

The feeling is like this: Righteousness (or Darkness): We are ready to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?

The real and fake Bro responded with a simple, direct reply: "Nothing's bigger than hunger, let's go eat! We're done fighting, goodbye!"

However, in a sense, this is also a kind of alternative balance of yin and yang, as both the righteous and the evil forces have lost their strongest fighters.

"Broly, I've discovered that you're a better friend than even the Holy Lord!"

This is a reflection on the work of a counterfeit Broly.

The Holy Lord only invited him to a small meal, but the real Broly invited him to a grand meal.

You can tell who his better friend is just by how full his stomach is.
