The strategist, for once, made the smart choice. He hurried back to his seat, buckled his seatbelt, and gripped the armrests tightly.
"Everyone, brace yourselves! We're about to land!" Angel shouted.
The spaceship shot across the ground for several hundred meters, crashing through countless boulders before finally coming to a halt.
"Dear god! Okay, maybe I didn't feel much pain from the impact, but I nearly got flattened to death!" Taurus gasped for breath as he lifted his head.
"So, this is Earth? It's beautiful!" The group stepped out of the spaceship, looking around in awe.
Angel turned to Taurus and said, "Taurus, try sensing where Goku's energy is."
Taurus focused for a moment, then looked absolutely baffled. "This planet's people are so damn weak! Almost everyone here has a measly power level of five! How the hell is this supposed to be the boss's home planet? Are you sure we didn't land in the wrong place?"
"There's no mistake. This spaceship was set to return along its designated course. There's no way it could be wrong," Angel replied with confidence.
"But... I can't sense the boss's energy anywhere," Taurus muttered, confused. "Could it be that the people on this planet can all hide their power levels?"
"Then just release your own energy! If Goku senses you, he'll definitely come looking for us!"
"Now that's a good idea!" Taurus immediately flared up his power level, unleashing tens of thousands of units of battle power.

Elsewhere...
"This energy... so strong! Could it be Goku? No… this isn't his energy… This power is even stronger than Goku's! How is this possible?!"
Piccolo, who had been in seclusion training, suddenly felt a massive surge of energy sweep over the planet. Cold sweat ran down his back.
At this point in time, he was still stuck in the mindset from his last encounter with Goku. If he knew how much stronger Goku had become since then, who knows what kind of reaction he'd have?
Without hesitation, Piccolo shot into the sky and flew toward the overwhelming energy source. At the same time, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and the others—who had been training in different locations—also sensed the energy and rushed to the scene.
---
Meanwhile, Goku was busy enjoying the breast massage of Yuriko and her daughter, when he when he suddenly sensed the familiar energy.
"Wait a minute… isn't that Taurus' energy? When did that idiot get to Earth?" Goku raised an eyebrow in mild surprise. "And Angel's here too? Are they trying to get my attention? Tch… but man, I'm kinda busy right now…"
---
Not long after, Krillin and the others arrived at the scene where Taurus and his group had landed. But just as they were getting over their shock from running into Piccolo, an even stronger energy presence suddenly approached Earth.
"This energy… it's insane! Who is this? Is there really someone this powerful in this universe?!" Krillin's voice trembled as the sheer intensity of the energy sent shivers down his spine.
"He's here!" Piccolo's expression turned grim as he stared into the sky.
A shadow, encased in an energy barrier, tore through the atmosphere and crashed into the ground, leaving behind a massive crater near them.
Angel and the others instantly turned pale.
"Damn it! He actually followed us here this fast!"
Broly slowly emerged from the crater, his eyes scanning the group before locking onto the distant sky. His gaze burned with unrelenting fury and killing intent.
"Kakarot… I finally found you!"
---
"This energy… it's immense! And it's a Saiyan's energy! But… didn't i already wipe out the remaining Saiyans? How is there another one? And how is he this strong?! Wait… don't tell me… Broly?"
(T/N: here he is talking about Vegeta and his teammates)
Even before Broly reached the ground, Goku had already sensed his overwhelming presence. Without hesitation, he called out to the women in his room, pulled out his World Ring for safety, and transported them all inside. Then, with Instant Transmission, he vanished from the room.
---
At the same time…
"Who the hell are you? And why are you here on Earth?" Krillin and the others stood on high alert, fully aware that they were completely outmatched. They had no chance of winning, but they still stood their ground—whether out of bravery or sheer stupidity.
"Kakarot!" Broly ignored them completely, growling Goku's Saiyan name with raw, unfiltered rage.
"Boss, what's up with this guy? He keeps calling for Kakarot non-stop. His obsession with kakarot is insane!" The strategist muttered in amusement.
"You idiot! You still haven't realized that 'Kakarot' is actually our boss's Saiyan name?!" Taurus smacked the strategist upside the head.
Suddenly, Broly turned his gaze toward them, his expression dark. "You all seem to have some connection to Kakarot. In that case… I'll just kill you all."
With a sinister grin, Broly vanished in a blur, reappearing right in front of the strategist.
Before the poor guy could even react, Broly's foot connected with his face, sending him flying like a ragdoll straight into a mountain. The entire peak collapsed from the impact, burying him under tons of rubble.
Broly didn't even need to explain—his actions alone made it clear: this is what happens when you run your mouth too much.
Even though the strategist had a battle power of a few thousand, he was still obliterated in a single hit. If Broly had actually taken him seriously, he would've been dead on the spot.
Krillin and the others, who had been watching, were completely horrified. They could sense how powerful the strategist was, and yet… he had been taken out in an instant.
If someone that strong got wrecked so easily, what the hell were they supposed to do?!
"Strategist!!!" Taurus roared in fury, his eyes turning bloodshot. His muscles bulged as he entered a berserk state, his power level skyrocketing.
"You bastard! How dare you hurt underling?! I'm gonna rip you apart!"
Fueled by rage, Taurus charged at Broly.
Unfortunately, his anger didn't make him any stronger.
With a single, casual kick to the face, Broly sent Taurus flying back into another mountain, burying him under yet another pile of rubble.
"Taurus!" Bella screamed in panic, rushing to dig him out. Angel quickly followed suit.
Meanwhile, Broly, who had already killed his own father, clearly wasn't the merciful type. He turned his gaze to Krillin and the others, flashing them a bloodthirsty grin. The sheer killing intent in his expression was enough to make Krillin's legs go weak.
No one could blame him. At their current level, they had barely a few hundred points of battle power. The fact that they weren't already on their knees was impressive enough.
"Man… I knew I should've stayed home," Yamcha muttered regretfully.
"You can all go to hell!" Broly growled, forming a glowing energy ball in his palm before launching it straight at them.
"It's over… we're dead!"
Just as the blast was about to hit, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Krillin and the others. With a casual flick of his wrist, he deflected the energy ball into the sky, where it vanished into the void.
"Whoa! Who the hell are you?! You actually blocked that guy's attack?! Listen, man, you'd better be careful—this guy is stupidly strong!" Krillin warned.
"Humph. Even if it's Goku, it won't change anything," Piccolo said coldly. "This guy is way beyond what we can handle."
"Wait, what?! That's Goku?! No way! …Actually, now that I look at him, yeah, that hair does seem kinda familiar…" Krillin muttered in shock.
From a distance, Angel's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Goku!"
Bella and Angel managed to dig Taurus out, but he was barely clinging to life.
"You guys need to take everyone and get out of here. This guy is way beyond your league," Goku said, tossing two Senzu Beans to Krillin to heal the strategist and Taurus.
"A-Alright!" Krillin immediately grabbed the beans and rushed to help.
Meanwhile, Broly locked eyes with Goku. The moment he saw him, his emotions exploded. His energy flared wildly, his rage reaching uncontrollable levels.
"KAKAROT!!!
With another furious shout, Broly finally lost all patience. He shot forward, throwing a punch directly at Goku. Goku swiftly dodged, his gaze sharpening as he noticed Broly's bright green hair. His brows furrowed slightly.
"Is this the legendary Super Saiyan form? I can't believe he's maintaining this state permanently! His power level is already close to my Super Saiyan 1 full power. If he unleashes his full strength, won't he be on par with my Super Saiyan 2? This doesn't match up with the original story at all! In the original, Goku defeated him using just Super Saiyan 1, right? Could it be that, after breaking free from control, Broly has grown stronger during this time?"
Goku's mind raced. Given that he himself had made tremendous progress in just a few days, it was not surprising that a Legendary Super Saiyan could grow even faster.
"This guy is a ticking time bomb. He has to die!"
With that decision made, Goku sentenced Broly to death in his heart. If left unchecked, Broly's growth could lead to devastating consequences.
Even as these thoughts flashed through his mind, Broly was already launching a relentless assault. Without transforming, Goku was simply no match for him. After just a few exchanges, Broly landed a devastating punch that sent Goku flying, crashing into the ground and carving out a deep crater.
"Ugh! Damn, that punch was no joke!"
Spitting out the blood from his mouth, Goku wiped his lips and took a deep breath.
"Looks like I can't hold back anymore."
With a burst of energy, Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan. A golden aura erupted around him, his power skyrocketing instantly. The sheer force of his transformation shattered the surrounding rocks, sending debris flying in all directions. A vacuum formed around him as the air itself seemed to tremble. Floating pebbles and sand swirled in the intense energy field.
"Alright then! Let's see just how strong this Legendary Super Saiyan really is!"
With a powerful shout, Goku launched himself at Broly.
---
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The two warriors clashed at blinding speeds, their golden auras colliding like raging storms. Each strike tore through the land, shattering mountains and leaving destruction in their wake. Within moments, the entire battlefield had been transformed into a wasteland.
Watching from a distance, Krillin and the others felt their hearts pound in fear.
BOOM!
Broly's punch missed its target, slamming into the ground instead. The earth instantly cracked apart, and magma erupted from the fissures, igniting the land itself. Within moments, the entire area had become a molten battlefield, lava bubbling and boiling beneath them.
The Earth, fragile compared to these titanic warriors, was on the brink of collapse. If the battle continued here, the planet would be doomed.
Goku realized this as well. This was his home—he couldn't let it be destroyed. Seizing an opening, he clashed fists with Broly in a full-power strike, forcing them both to recoil from the impact. Without hesitation, Goku turned and shot off into space.
"Kakarot! You're not getting away!"
Just as expected, Broly took the bait. Roaring with rage, he immediately gave chase.
---
In the vast emptiness of space, the two warriors raced through the stars, their speeds pushing the limits of what seemed possible.
Broly, unwilling to let Goku escape, unleashed a barrage of energy blasts in an attempt to take him down. Goku, however, managed to dodge each one by the narrowest of margins. This only enraged Broly further, his aura growing even more violent. His power surged once again, boosting his speed as he rapidly closed the distance between them.
