Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 556 Broly Departs, Adventure World Returns to Normal

Is Broly kind? If he's a good Broly, the answer is yes. But if he's an evil Broly, he might just say, "None of my business." As far as Broly is concerned, he would care about the safety of the world where his friends exist.

The Holy Lord's words had an effect, leaving Broly with enough time and space energy to extend his stay in this world for at least three more months, after which he planned to leave.

He told Xiaoyu about his decision, and Xiaoyu immediately shouted, "Broly, don't listen to the Holy Lord's nonsense!"

"Whether he's talking nonsense or not, that old man should know."

In response, Shendu pointed to his father and said, "If it were before Jackie Chan found that ancient book and deciphered it, before the world almost faced a cataclysmic crisis today, he certainly wouldn't agree with Shendu's point of view, but..."

“Xiaoyu, the words of demons are not to be believed, but on this point, the Holy Lord should not have deceived us. If Broly continues to stay in this world, this world will definitely breed an even more powerful enemy of the dark energy, and the struggle between the righteous and the dark energy will inevitably cause many people to be affected for no reason.”

The old man looked at the ordinary people who had been rescued from the rocket base. If it weren't for the white-clad ninja, many people would probably have lost their lives.

"Uncle Long."

Xiaoyu looked at Jackie Chan with pleading eyes.

"All good things must come to an end. Broly has been away from home for so long, he must be going back eventually."

Jackie Chan placed his hand on his niece's shoulder and also spoke to comfort her.

"By the way, Broly, you didn't just disappear after you went back, did you?"

He looked at the Saiyan boy with green hair and asked him.

"Yes, I can come back, but I'll need some travel expenses."

Broly nodded.

"Look, he's just going to a faraway place. Good friends may not see each other often, but that doesn't mean they're not good friends anymore. True friendship doesn't disappear because of distance."

"Broly, I will miss you."

Xiaoyu was a little reluctant, but she still said it.

"No, have you misunderstood something?"

"What misunderstanding have we made? Weren't you going to leave?"

"I mean I'm leaving, but not now. I still have some things to do in this world."

Broly was speechless. He still had five days left on his stay, but now it was as if he was about to leave this world.

"Ah, is that so?"

Having made a blunder, Xiaoyu, Chenglong, and the others were a little embarrassed, but they quickly asked about the other things he wanted to do.

"As I told you before, I owe the Wind Demon Howling Wind a favor. Besides that, I also need to help my father with other matters concerning the Gates of Hell. And then, I'd like to invite you, Xiaoyu, to join my Crystal Palace."

"Crystal Palace?"

“Uncle Long, that’s just an organization of good friends that Broly set up, and I’m his good friend, so I just happen to meet the requirements to join.”

Before Jackie Chan could ask any further questions, Jade quickly explained that she was afraid Broly would reveal that Crystal Palace was his wife's company. If that happened, Uncle Chan and the others would definitely consider it a very improper thing and prevent her from joining as a good friend.

"I see. Can I join?"

"There are gender requirements."

"That's a real shame. But speaking of which, Broly, did you only ever have female friends?"

"Broly, besides all of that, is there anything else you need to do?"

Before the Saiyan boy could say anything more, Xiaoyu changed the subject and asked a question.

"What else needs to be done? Well, it's probably just a matter of demanding ownership of the twelve talismans."

Although the twelve charms are now in Broly's possession, strictly speaking, District 13 still retains nominal custody of these charms.

Admittedly, the talismans kept by District 13 were stolen, and Broly retrieved them from the fake version of himself and the Holy Lord, so he can fully assert his ownership of the twelve talismans.

However, District 13 is, after all, an organization that provides him with food in this world, and Sheriff Black and he have a fairly good personal relationship.

Therefore, Broly decided that he needed to discuss this matter with Sheriff Black.

“I don’t think Blake will agree. He’s always thought that District 13 is the safest place in the world.”

Jackie Chan knows his old classmates well.

"Then, all we need to do is make it clear to that bald guy that District 13 is not a safe place, and that keeping the talisman will only bring endless trouble to this world, and he will definitely change his mind!"

Dad said.

"I will help persuade them."

Xiaoyu raised her hand.

. . . .

Convincing Sheriff Blake was easier than expected; after learning about the Yin-Yang balance theory, he quickly agreed.

“If the spell will cause us trouble, then we should get rid of this trouble. Before, there was nowhere to get rid of this trouble, but now, I think Broly, you can solve this problem, right?”

"I promise you that if you ever need to use talismans in the future, you can retrieve them from one of my special spaces through Xiaoyu."

"Hey, is that special space you mentioned that can preserve talismans so they don't disrupt the yin-yang balance of this world?"

"Yes, because it's a space similar to hell, a spacetime different from our current world."

"Can I use this space?"

"Unfortunately, in this world, only Xiaoyu is probably qualified to use this."

Sheriff Black looked regretful, then extended an invitation to Jade: "Jade, can I hire you as a logistics staff member for the Thirteenth District to safeguard the talismans?"

"Hey, Sheriff Black, you want to hire me?"

"I think Jackie Chan wouldn't refuse my offer to hire his niece as a security guard."

Xiaoyu took on the role of talisman administrator.

"Hey, you can't break your promise. You promised me you would free me from the control of that evil Lord."

Valmont and other members of the Mafia were brought to District 13 and detained. They are currently shouting loudly in their cells.

"Boss, the food here is much better than the food in prison."

Rasu was somewhat carefree, content to eat prison food in District 13.

Can't you be a little more patient?

The Holy Lord found Valmont noisy. After learning that Broly planned to leave this world, the dragon prepared himself to wait until Broly left before taking action.

"That old liar!"

As soon as Valon swore, footsteps approached.

"Dad isn't a liar. Doesn't it take time to mix potions?"

When the old man arrived at the cell, he spoke to Valon inside with some dissatisfaction.

"Ah, my hometown... Hmm, Master, do you have a way to expel the Holy Lord from within me?"

Valon wanted to say "old man," but remembering that he needed the other's help, he quickly changed his words and looked at his father with hopeful eyes.

"Dad isn't sure, so I'm just here to give it a try. Rest your head against the door frame, and Dad will apply the medicine to you now."

“It’s no use, old man. My soul is possessed by other demons. If I don’t manage to free them from hell, I won’t be able to leave Valon’s body.”

When the potion was applied, Shendu winced in pain, but it showed no sign of leaving Valon's body. He didn't hide anything and directly told him about the other demons who had cast spells on him.

"Hmph, I don't believe it. You just wait and see, old man."

The old man stormed off, determined to find a new righteous spell.

"Dad, how is it? Has the Holy Lord been brought out?" On the way back, Dad met Broly and Jade, and Jade asked about the situation.

"not at all……"

The old man shook his head, but did explain the situation of the Holy Lord.

"I have a way."

After listening, Broly said...

"What can you do?"

The old man was somewhat surprised.

“Broly, let me remind you, the Horse Talisman is useless. Some spells in this world cannot be broken with the Horse Talisman. For example, the sealing spell that Pero once placed on Shendu, or the possession spell that other demons have placed on Shendu’s soul. If the Horse Talisman were really useful, Shendu would have used it to break the spell.”

"No, I didn't mean the Horse Charm. What I meant was, why don't we just use the same method as the one used to remove the possession curse to help Him leave Valon's body?"

"Perfect timing, Dad. Didn't you also want to solve the problem of the other demon gates of hell? Let the demons out, then put them back in."

"Ah, so that's one of those tricks."

However, not everyone can pull off this move; it's only because Broly possesses power far exceeding that of the eight great demons that he can do it.

"You want to help me break the seals on the other demons?"

"Yes, but you have to trade your right to use the Gates of Hell. I want to use your gates to unleash howling winds."

"No problem, we share the same goal, which is exactly what I want. It's a pleasure to work together."

The Holy Lord inside the prison shook hands with Broly outside, his scarlet eyes revealing his inner turmoil.

Over the next few days, Broly, Jade, and the others began to study the Pangu Box. Unlike the Black Hand Gang, who relied on luck to solve the puzzle, Jade and her father already knew the riddles on the Pangu Box and easily found the seals of the Earth Demon, the Sky Demon, and the Water Demon.

These demons were released one by one, but they were only allowed to go out for a short while before Broly threw them back into Hell.

"Welcome back, Bazaar."

The water demon, who tried to escape by turning into water, was trapped by the cage condensed by Bro, and no one managed to escape.

"As I said before, Broly's power has exceeded the original limit of the outside world. We eight demons are no longer worthy to be the role that the black energy uses to deal with him. If we go out, we will only be like pawns, easily crushed by the powerful opponent, and sent back to hell without any power to resist."

"Hmm, you guys used to laugh at me for only being able to return to hell as a soul, but why aren't you laughing now? Is this thing not funny anymore?"

"Zhou Lan, this is not the time for sarcastic remarks. Is there really no way for us to escape hell?"

"No, at least not yet, unless we can become the vanguard of the black energy to condense new dark power, then we may not be able to gain freedom."

Upon hearing this, the demons were utterly disappointed.

Half a day later, a new gate to hell opened.

That was the Lord's door, but the demons had no intention of going out to get beaten up.

Why haven't any demons appeared?

Outside, Bro used the Pangu Box to open the eighth gate of hell, only to find that there was no movement inside for a long time after the gate was opened.

"Perhaps my brothers and sisters haven't noticed yet. Wait a minute, I'll contact them in hell right now!"

When the Holy Lord's Gate is opened, the Holy Lord himself needs to be present. Now that He is here, He directly uses the glass of the Sealed Land Amusement Park to cast a spell and contact the demons in Hell.

"Holy Lord, how dare you show your face before us?"

The other demons were very dissatisfied with the connection between the Holy Lord and the Holy Lord.

"Brothers and sisters, this is not my fault. The Pangu Box was stolen, and I can't get it back."

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you want from us?"

“I’ve opened another door in hell. Now only Xiaofeng hasn’t come out yet. I want Xiaofeng to come out.”

"Heh, as expected, you betrayed us. You just wanted to break the curse that possessed you."

The demons weren't stupid; they quickly realized that Shendu and Broly might be cooperating.

"Xiaofeng, if you choose to go out, you'll probably just get beaten up by Broly outside and then be sealed back. Don't fall for it. We must stand on the same side. If we're having a hard time in Hell, we can't let the Holy Lord of the Human World have it easy either. Let Him die in a mortal body!"

Xiaofeng was initially hesitant, but upon hearing the words "standing on the same side," he thought of how these guys had sacrificed themselves at the same time.

"Go to hell with you guys. I'd rather go out and get beaten up than stand on the same side as you bunch of vermin."

In Hell, Xiaofeng decisively stepped into the gates of Hell of the Holy Lord, and before leaving, he did not forget to take with him the leftover food that Broly had left for Him.

Outside, the Gates of Hell twisted and howled out, ready to fight Broly.

But instead of the Saiyan boy's heavy punch, He was greeted with a welcome: "Welcome to your freedom, Xiaofeng. I told you I would repay you."

"Aren't you going to send me back to hell?"

"No, Broly is only responsible for releasing you. As for whether you will be sent back to Hell, that depends on whether you are willing to be the demon who balances the yin and yang forces in the world."

The old man stepped forward and explained the situation to Xiaofeng.

"In other words, the world needs an evil villain actor who looks bad but isn't really bad. If you can play that role, then you can stay in this world for a long time."

Xiaoyu repeated it in even simpler and easier-to-understand language.

"If that's all, then I think I can."

Xiaofeng thought for a moment, then transformed into human form and agreed to the actor's conditions proposed by his father and the others.

At the same time, He thanked Broly for letting him go: "My brothers and sisters are all trash, but you, Broly, are my only true friend!"

"You are welcome."

Just as the two shook hands, a phantom dragon quietly slipped behind Broly.

"Your body is mine now!"

The Holy Lord completed the release of all demons. He lifted the possession spells that the other demons had placed on Him, but He did not run away after the spells were lifted because He believed that the dark energy would help Him possess Broly's body.

The Holy Lord went up, and then He fell. Broly's body was like an iron plate, and the Holy Lord in his soul state crashed into him, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

"why?"

No one could answer Shendu's question, and the old man, who had long been on guard against Shendu, took out the longsword, a divine token of Lü Dongbin, after seeing Shendu actually attack Broly.

He chanted a spell for demons and monsters to leave, and the magic struck Shendu's soul, causing the closed gates of hell to reopen and sucking Shendu back into hell.

. . . . .

With this, Broly had completed all his tasks: repaying Howling Wind, helping his father deal with the demon gates of Hell, and obtaining the twelve charms.

When there were only half an hour left in their stay, Broly formally extended an invitation to Jade, who was carrying the twelve charms: "Jade, would you like to join the Crystal Palace as a friend?"

Xiaoyu received the hint, and her answer was unquestionable: "Of course."

As soon as the girl agreed, her happiness score of 103 was multiplied by thirteen and then by one hundred, resulting in 133900 happiness points, which were then deposited into Broly's happiness point account.

With his remaining time, Broly taught Jade how to use the various functions of the Crystal Palace, introduced this good friend who wasn't his wife to the other wives in the group chat room, and then left this world.

Just after Broly left this world, a biological research organization found mysterious giant ape hairs near the ruins of a rocket base in Florida.

Because of the carelessness of the intern researcher, the green hair that was originally intended as a research sample was lost, which directly caused the possibility of the birth of Broly, a clone of evil face and a more powerful dark individual that was supposed to appear in this world in the future and was conceived by the dark energy through the biological research organization, to disappear.

With the balance of Yin and Yang restored, Broly's departure brought the world's energy level back to its original level.

Even because the twelve talismans were thrown into the Crystal Palace space and disappeared from this world, this world later allowed Xiaofeng, who was practically an actor playing the role of the Black Qi faction, to continue to exist in this world.

As for Xiaoyu's later success in getting Xiaofeng to act in Larry's movie and becoming a minor celebrity, that's another story.

　The adventure is over, but I'm starting to doubt my own taste in anime. So, please give me some suggestions, but try to avoid choosing overly obscure series. (-ι_-｀)
