The energy beam in Ultimate Little Cell's hand grew brighter and brighter.
The power contained within it was evident.
Just as Ultimate Little Cell was about to fire it, though—
Deep beneath the ground... a gigantic beast had just begun to move.
Super Broly had returned once again. He was now so far gone that he had completely lost his sanity. With a twisted and feral expression on his face, he leapt up from ten thousand meters underground.
He gathered a dazzling, radiant energy wave from his mouth.
This familiar attack instantly reminded Ultimate Little Cell of Z-Broly.
"ROAR——!!"
With Super Broly's furious howl, a colossal pillar of force erupted from the depths of the earth and soared straight into the heavens.
Seeing this, the Saiyan cells inside Ultimate Little Cell stirred with excitement.
At that moment, the energy wave in his hand shot forward.
Two blasts of energy, fired from opposite directions, streaked toward one another.
In just a second, the mighty beams collided.
The moment they touched, an energy storm exploded forth.
The sky and the earth changed color while the world trembled violently.
Only Frieza remained calm, watching intently.
Piccolo, however, was already being tossed around by the raging winds.
"Damn it..." Piccolo cursed helplessly. He lost control of his body as the violent currents carried him away.
Just as he was about to be blown completely off the battlefield, a strong hand landed on his back.
His drifting body came to an abrupt stop.
He turned around.
Two familiar figures stood behind him.
"Piccolo, I hear there's a troublesome guy around?" Son Goku spoke.
His firm, serious gaze flicked toward the two combatants in the sky.
"I'm sorry, Goku. I really had no choice. That's why I asked Dende to contact Elder Moori and bring you back. By the way, what about the time machine?"
But before Goku could answer, Vegeta spoke up.
"It'll still take about an hour before the Namekian Dragon Balls are ready. The troublesome guy you're talking about… you mean that Saiyan, right?" Vegeta answered and asked at the same time.
Piccolo nodded and relayed everything he had just overheard about Frieza and Paragus.
Goku listened with a deep frown the whole time.
"What? You're saying this guy is Broly's older brother?!"
"Oh, when you put it that way, they do look really alike!" Goku said, glancing again at Super Broly.
"How strange... They're twins, but why give them the same name?"
Piccolo, ever the tactician, immediately analyzed and reasoned aloud. "Perhaps Paragus wanted to remember his younger son, so he gave his eldest the same name, Broly."
Hearing this, Goku agreed. But then he turned to Vegeta and complained, "Hmph, Vegeta. I didn't think your father was that kind of person."
"Good thing my dad was around, or else Broly would probably already be dead."
Goku's words caught Vegeta completely off guard. He knew exactly what kind of person his father, King Vegeta III, was.
So yes, doing something like this was absolutely possible for him.
"Hmph. That old man's deeds have nothing to do with me. But if he insists on seeking revenge against me, I, Vegeta IV, will gladly accept the challenge! Hmph!"
With that said, Vegeta shifted his gaze to the two figures clashing in the sky. It was then that he noticed Ultimate Little Cell for the first time.
He asked coldly, "Who's that guy?"
Piccolo answered truthfully: "A Little Cell who used the Merge Technique twice."
Vegeta had indeed spotted the vest, the signature trait of the fused warriors. However, he was shocked to find out that this guy was actually a super warrior born from two separate fusions!
"Twice using the Merge Technique!" Goku exclaimed in surprise.
Piccolo's answer immediately made Goku uneasy.
He was also aware of the drawbacks of the Merge Technique.
Although using the technique twice produced a powerful warrior, the drawback was that the warrior time period was inevitably short-lived as the technique will soon end.
His gaze fixed on the two pillars of energy. The energy column fired by Ultimate Little Cell was overwhelmingly crushing Super Broly. If it held, it would definitely defeat Super Broly.
However, the flaw of the Merge Technique manifested in the next moment. High above, Ultimate Little Cell suddenly began to speak: "Heh, heh, heh! Arrogant fool! You can never be stronger than me! I proclaim myself the strongest being in the world right now! Hahaha!"
These proud, arrogant words slipped from Ultimate Little Cell's mouth, and Piccolo felt a chill run down his spine. Such childish, egotistical words could not have come from the cold, silent Ultimate Little Cell he had just seen.
Piccolo watched closely.
Sure enough, the vest, the symbol of a merged being, had already disappeared from Ultimate Little Cell. His personality had changed drastically because Ultimate Little Cell knew he was about to fall apart. With the last of his consciousness, he had assimilated the five Little Cells inside him.
The being before them was no longer the original Ultimate Little Cell, but a Super Little Cell.
"Surrender, you big oaf! You're not worthy of defeating me," the Super Little Cell taunted relentlessly.
But the next second, something felt wrong. The energy column in Super Broly's mouth suddenly intensified. Soon, an irresistible wave of power surged up from the ground. The gains that the Ultimate Little Cell had just won were instantly ruined by the Super Little Cell!
"Bastard! What's happening?!" Big question marks seemed to hang over Super Little Cell's head.
Seizing the opportunity, Super Broly increased the energy in his mouth once more.
Boom—boom—boom—!
The energy pillar climbed rapidly and the Super Little Cell was about to be swallowed.
Piccolo cursed. "Idiot! I told you to finish it quickly, but you didn't listen!"
"Goku! Thank goodness you're here!" Piccolo turned around, looking for Son Goku, but the familiar figure was already gone.
Goku and Vegeta had both disappeared.
He looked up. The two of them were standing behind the Super Little Cell.
…
Suddenly, the Super Little Cell felt warmth behind him. He turned around and saw that Vegeta and Goku had both transformed into Super Saiyans.
"King's dad! And Uncle Goku! Weren't you supposed to have gone to Namek?" The Super Little Cell exclaimed.
Vegeta sneered, "Tch, brat. If you're relying on the Merge Technique, I'd advise you to stop right there."
Vegeta's words hit hard. The Super Little Cell's heart nearly broke. Harsh words cut deep, and his attention faltered.
"Hey, Vegeta, now's not the time for that! Besides, they're fighting for Earth, too!" Goku admonished.
Vegeta replied coolly, "Hmph. I'm just giving him a lesson. After all, he's my son's subordinate, so he is almost like a son to me."
Upon hearing this, the Super Little Cell was touched and decided then and there to train seriously from that moment on.
After saying that, Vegeta's expression changed, and he dove immediately toward Super Broly on the ground.
"I will of course take responsibility for the trouble my father caused. Hmph, Kakarot, I will deal with him within an hour!"
