"Sadala?" GT Goku shook his head. "Never heard of it."
He waved GT Vegeta over.
GT Vegeta rolled his eyes, then walked over with a dark expression.
"Vegeta, have you heard of Planet Sadala?" GT Goku asked.
"Hmph. There's nothing special to explain," GT Vegeta said. "The Saiyans originally lived on Planet Sadala. After a civil war, the planet was devastated, so we moved to Planet Plant. Later, on a full-moon night, we wiped out the Tuffles and took the planet for ourselves."
"Oh, so that's how it happened." GT Goku nodded in understanding. "Then Prince Baby of the Tuffles must have escaped, and that's why he showed up in our era."
GT Vegeta looked toward the ring. "So Universe 6 has Saiyans too?"
"The Saiyans of Universe 6 never left Planet Sadala," Vegeta said. "They still live there."
"And this woman is a Legendary Super Saiyan too?" GT Vegeta asked, studying Kale.
"That's right. But compared to the Broly from our timeline, she's still far behind."
When GT Broly saw Kale transform, he did not hesitate. Golden-green light erupted from him as well, and his power surged wildly across the ring.
His eyes went blank.
"Damn it, Broly's losing control!" GT Goku's head started to ache. "How are they supposed to fight like this?"
But just as he said it, GT Broly's eyes cleared again.
"Hehe. Not bad, right?" Shin said proudly. "It took a lot of effort to make sure he could stay sane after becoming a Legendary Super Saiyan."
Whis turned to him. "How did you manage that?"
"With Shenron, of course." Shin's smile widened. "I made a wish so Broly would keep his reason after transforming."
"That is one way to handle it," Whis said with a nod.
Kale and GT Broly wasted no more time. They charged straight at each other.
Their fight was raw and violent from the first exchange. Compared with Vegeta and GT Goku's match, this one was even more direct. Every punch landed with a heavy, bone-rattling impact, and each kick carried enough force to make the arena shake.
For a while, they were evenly matched. Neither side could break away.
But as the fight dragged on, GT Broly's advantage began to show.
"Did you notice?" GT Goku said in surprise. "Broly's power keeps climbing."
"Hmph. Of course it does," GT Vegeta said. "That's what the Legendary Super Saiyan is supposed to be."
"Kale's starting to struggle," Goku said, watching the fight closely.
"Don't worry," Vegeta replied with a faint smile. "She hasn't used her real power yet."
"Oh my. Broly from the other timeline keeps getting stronger as he fights," Vados said.
"Let's see how high he can go," Ken said with a smile. "There has to be a limit."
"There is," Vados said. "If his power keeps rising without control, his body may not be able to withstand it."
Ken agreed.
That was likely why the older Broly lost control so easily. His power kept climbing faster than his mind could handle, and eventually the body and consciousness fell out of balance.
Sure enough, after about five minutes, GT Broly threw his head back and roared. The golden-green light around him grew thicker, then his pupils vanished again.
"No! Broly lost control!" GT Goku shouted.
Beerus's face darkened, and he turned toward Shin.
Shin scratched his head, confused. "But Shenron was supposed to keep him sane. Why did he lose control again? Shenron really isn't reliable…"
"Idiot," Beerus snapped. "As his power rises, his body can't handle the pressure anymore. Of course he lost control. I thought this match was finally ours."
Shin quietly moved farther away from Beerus, just in case Beerus decided to take that frustration out on him.
GT Broly's roars continued as his power exploded outward, shaking the air around him.
Kale watched him with a calm expression.
GT Broly rushed her.
Kale did not meet him head-on. She slipped away from his fists, jumped aside, then sprang back in with a sharp kick.
Her foot struck GT Broly cleanly, but his body only trembled slightly. He stood there as if nothing had happened, his empty eyes turning even more lifeless.
With another strange roar, GT Broly lunged and grabbed one of Kale's ankles. His other hand caught her other ankle a heartbeat later.
The audience went pale.
He was trying to tear Kale in half.
Buu instinctively looked toward the Great God of Destruction Broly.
Broly stared back in silence.
This guy really was like him.
Did every version of him have the same bad habit?
"Kale!" Gohan shot up from the stands, ready to jump in.
Before he could move, Kale reacted. Energy burst from both of her hands and slammed directly into GT Broly's head.
GT Broly howled in pain, his grip loosening.
Kale tore free at once and landed steadily, then leaped back to open distance. Her chest rose and fell hard, cold sweat running down her face.
That had been close.
Too close.
"I need to end this quickly," Kale said through clenched teeth. "I can't let this drag on."
Her power erupted again. Denser golden-green light burst around her, and lightning crackled across her body.
Legendary Super Saiyan Two.
Gohan, who had already lifted off, saw Kale escape and finally relaxed. He returned to his seat.
"Gohan, you really care about Kale," Videl said with a smile.
"Ah… it's not like that…" Gohan scratched his head, embarrassed.
Kale struck first. She appeared under GT Broly and drove an uppercut into his jaw.
GT Broly cried out as the blow lifted him off his feet.
Kale followed with a kick to his chest. The impact caved his chest inward and sent his whole body flying backward.
GT Broly crashed out of the ring.
"Whew… I won." Kale patted her chest and smiled in relief.
But the moment GT Broly hit the ground, he sprang back up. His blank eyes searched the area until they locked onto Kale again.
Then he charged.
"Again?" Kale froze for a second, then raised her guard.
GT Broly threw a heavy punch.
Before Kale could move, someone stepped in front of her and caught GT Broly's fist with one hand.
It was Broly.
"Enough," Broly said. "You've lost your mind."
A wave of overwhelming power covered GT Broly in an instant.
GT Broly shuddered, and the white blankness in his eyes vanished. His gaze cleared, and he stared in shock at the other version of himself standing before him.
Broly said nothing else. He only patted GT Broly's shoulder, then turned and left the ring.
GT Broly stood there blankly for a moment, scratched his head, and stepped down.
"The fourth match goes to Universe 6's Kale," Ken announced from above.
"Did you see that, Vegeta?" GT Goku said in amazement. "The Broly from this timeline caught our Broly's punch like it was nothing."
"More than that," GT Vegeta said grimly. "He brought our Broly back to his senses."
"That's normal," Goku said quietly to both of them. "Our Broly is really strong. Even Beerus-sama can't beat him."
GT Goku and GT Vegeta both went stiff.
Beerus was already terrifying. And this Broly was even stronger than him?
"Ken is stronger than Broly," Goku added.
Their expressions changed again, and both of them looked toward Ken with even more shock.
After a short silence, GT Goku laughed. "Hahaha. I really am learning a lot today."
Far away, Beerus's face had gone as black as coal.
"We lost again," he said through gritted teeth. "Damn it. How did this happen? Just one win. Is one win too much to ask?"
"Beerus-sama's standards are getting lower and lower," Whis said with a smile.
"Whis, you still have the nerve to joke?" Beerus snapped. "When Earth was transferred to Universe 6, why didn't you stop it?"
"Oh my. What lovely weather we're having today," Whis said, looking up and changing the subject completely.
Beerus was so angry smoke might as well have come out of his nose.
"There's only one match left!" Beerus turned and shouted at GT Vegeta. "You! Fight properly! Do what the other you did and beat your old rival!"
"Of course. I won't lose to Kakarot," GT Vegeta said.
"Now, the final match," Ken announced. "Universe 6's Goku against Universe 7's Vegeta."
He waved his staff, and the ruined arena repaired itself in an instant, returning to its original state.
The GT fighters stared in shock.
The ring had been wrecked, and he restored it just like that?
GT Vegeta slowly flew into the arena, arms folded and expression serious. Goku stepped in at a relaxed pace and even gave him a friendly wave.
GT Vegeta ignored him.
"Begin!"
Goku and GT Vegeta took their stances.
"Vegeta, want to warm up first?" Goku asked with a smile.
"Hmph. I was thinking the same thing."
Neither transformed. They began with simple exchanges in their normal states.
At Zeno's Palace, the Grand Priest held his staff and watched the crystal orb closely.
Zeno-sama was running and hopping around the palace with the two guards beside him, happy as a child. After playing for a while, he suddenly came over to the Grand Priest.
"Hey, Grand Priest, what are you watching?" Zeno-sama asked.
"Universe 6 and Universe 7 are holding a strength tournament between mortals," the Grand Priest said, drawing his gaze away for the moment and speaking respectfully. "It looked rather interesting, so I watched a little longer."
"There's another tournament? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zeno-sama sounded unhappy.
"Would Zeno-sama like to go and watch now? They've reached the final match."
"Ken organized it again, didn't he?" Zeno-sama asked.
"Yes. That is correct."
"Then I'll go see."
Zeno-sama vanished.
The Grand Priest did not follow. Instead, he turned and looked at the two guards.
Both guards stiffened, their expressions turning unnatural.
"Aren't the two of you going?" the Grand Priest asked with a smile.
"Do we have to?" the Left Guard and Right Guard asked at the same time.
"You're afraid of Ken, aren't you?" the Grand Priest said.
The two guards lowered their heads. Their silence said everything.
"If you don't want to go, then don't," the Grand Priest said with a small wave. "It would be rather awkward anyway."
Only then did the two guards relax.
After a short silence, the Left Guard asked, "Is the Grand Priest not going either?"
"I can see everything from here," the Grand Priest said with a smile.
The Left Guard had no idea how to answer that.
The Right Guard quickly changed the subject. "Grand Priest… did you come out this time because your Angel power has mostly recovered?"
"Part of it has recovered," the Grand Priest said calmly. "But not all of it."
