On a mountain in the Imperial Palace, Selypa blasted Raditz to the ground with an energy sphere.
Selypa walked forward with a pained expression, wanting to help him up, and said, "Prince Raditz, please have a Senzu Bean and rest."
Over the past year, Selypa, who served as Gine's bodyguard, had been training Raditz, so she knew exactly how hard he had been working.
Raditz struggled to his feet, gritted his teeth, and told Selypa, "No need, Aunt Selypa. I won't use Senzu Beans to recover from injuries anymore. It doesn't improve my endurance at all. Let's go again!"
As the Saiyan's eldest prince, the entire race had placed high hopes on him since his birth, wishing that he would inherit the throne and continue Bardock's glory. Raditz had indeed lived up to expectations, consistently being the best among the younger generation since leaving the incubation chamber. Gradually, he developed his own arrogance, the pride of the Saiyan's eldest prince.
He could not lose to Broly. Even if he couldn't catch up, he couldn't be left too far behind.
Selypa said, "Prince Raditz, you have already worked very hard. When the Emperor was your age, his power level was only a little over eight hundred. You have already proven yourself."
As someone who watched Raditz grow up, Selypa felt very upset seeing the once proud prince become like this.
Raditz stubbornly said, "So what? Now everyone's attention is on Broly, not me!"
Selypa said helplessly, "Your Highness, don't think that way…"
Selypa didn't know how to comfort Raditz for a moment. She couldn't blame Broly, could she? Blame him for being too monstrous? Or blame him for being born too monstrous? Does that even make sense?
A powerful aura emanated from a waterfall not far away. Broly sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, floating beneath the waterfall and letting the water wash over his body.
Suddenly, he frowned and opened his eyes as he said, "My power level has broken through again!"
Broly was always inexplicably annoyed by the sudden increase in his power level. If his mental energy from a day of training was 1, then the automatic increase in his power level each day was 10. This huge disparity led to a severe consequence: his mental energy could never suppress the negative emotions brought by the Super Saiyan transformation, making it extremely easy for him to lose his mind after transforming.
Thinking of this, Broly sighed, evaporated the water from his body with a burst of ki, and flew to the shore.
Raditz looked at Broly with extreme envy and said, "Broly, you've broken through in power level again?"
Broly nodded and said, "Yes, it's a hundred thousand now."
Selypa, who was nearby, also felt a bit envious after hearing this. Is this the genius War God His Majesty spoke of?
Selypa said, "A one-year-old child with a hundred thousand power level. Reg, who came to Saiyan Star a few years ago, was almost three years old when he reached a hundred thousand. This time, he has once again refreshed Saiyan Star's one-year-old power level ranking."
This power level ranking is a list compiled by the Saiyan internal network, divided into a full-race power level ranking and an age-based power level ranking. The age-based power level ranking is divided into ten-year stages, and the purpose of doing so is to motivate the clansmen to strive and improve their strength.
Raditz had consistently held the top position on the one-to-ten-year-old ranking, but the most recent update replaced him with Broly.
Selypa sighed while looking at Raditz with a pained expression.
Raditz clenched his fists and said, "I will definitely work hard to surpass you!"
Broly looked at him and said, "Brother Raditz, I believe in you."
As Bardock's eldest disciple, Gine also liked this child very much, even adopting him as a foster son and pouring all her love for Kakarot into him. That's why Broly called Raditz "Brother" instead of "Prince."
Broly looked up at Raditz with eyes full of anticipation and said, "I'm going to find Master. Brother Raditz, are you coming?"
Raditz patted the dust off himself, extended his hand to Broly, and said, "Let's go. Brother will go with you."
Broly placed his hand in his, revealing a brilliant smile.
Watching the two little figures leave hand in hand, Selypa's face showed a relieved smile as she said, "The Saiyans can have competition, but they cannot be hostile to each other, and even less can they kill each other. Prince Raditz has done very well in this regard."
After her contemplation, Selypa walked toward the small wooden house where Gine was and said, "It's time to prepare lunch for the Empress."
In the main hall, Paragus, who had just finished discussing matters with Bardock, was about to take his leave when Guldo, who guarded the door, ran in.
Guldo said, "Your Majesty, Dr. Mu just sent someone to say that the limiter you ordered has been mostly completed."
Bardock hadn't shown any reaction yet, but Paragus asked in surprise, "Really?"
Actually, it was no wonder he was happy, as it concerned his beloved son. Three months ago, after Broly's power level surged, he involuntarily transformed into a Super Saiyan, and in his berserk state, he caused widespread destruction like a madman! Fortunately, Bardock was nearby and used his mental energy to restrain him, so there were no casualties, and Broly's mind was not damaged. As for the destroyed buildings and landscape, that didn't matter. There were plenty of slaves to rebuild them.
Afterward, Paragus, holding Broly, was taken by Bardock to Dr. Mu's laboratory, hoping Dr. Mu could design a limiter to restrict Broly's transformation. In the original story, Paragus had given Broly a limiter, which was the golden necklace around his neck. Unlike in the original story where it controlled Broly, this time it was to help Broly.
Just then, Raditz, holding Broly's hand, also arrived.
The two greeted them as soon as they entered the door and said, "Imperial Father, Minister." "Master, Father."
Bardock stood up and said, "You've come at a good time. Dr. Mu just said that the limiter for Broly has been made. Let's go together."
Upon arriving at Dr. Mu's laboratory, Dr. Mu was still the same, tinkering with bottles and jars. He only glanced at Bardock and the others and said, "Your Majesty has arrived. What you want is over there." After saying that, he pointed to a box nearby, then ignored them and continued his research.
Bardock didn't mind. Mad scientists were all like this, especially when immersed in research. Even a glance was a courtesy to him. If Paragus had come by himself, he probably wouldn't have even gotten a glance.
Paragus opened the box, revealing a rough golden necklace and a remote control inside. Paragus took out the necklace and helped Broly put it on. Holding the remote control in his hand, he said, "Son, try transforming and see if this limiter works well."
Broly looked at Bardock with an inquiring gaze. Bardock pointed to Dr. Mu and said, "Let's go outside first. If you damage the lab, I'm afraid Dr. Mu will fight you guys to the death."
The others also nodded in agreement. The group returned to the mountain behind the Imperial Palace, and Bardock commanded, "Broly, you can transform now. Paragus, seize the right moment and press the remote control."
Broly clenched his fists and roared to the sky, "Ah!" His hair instantly turned grassy green, and his body was enveloped in a grassy green aura.
Broly said, "Father, I can't control myself! Quick!" As soon as he finished speaking, Broly's grassy green pupils disappeared, leaving only the whites of his eyes.
Paragus quickly pressed the button, and the necklace on Broly's neck emitted a special magnetic field. The grassy green aura around Broly slowly disappeared, and his hair returned to black.
After a while, Broly opened his eyes and looked at Bardock as he asked, "Master, how many seconds did I last this time?"
Bardock sighed and said, "Less than three seconds. There's progress. Last time you didn't even last a second. Continue to strengthen your mental energy training." He then turned to Paragus and said, "Keep this remote control safe, in case Broly loses control and I'm not around."
At this, everyone looked at him.
Paragus asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, are you leaving?"
