This time, Broly wanted to see just how far he could push his power level.
Was twenty-five thousand really his limit?
He suddenly felt the urge to test it—to find out exactly how high his power could climb.
"Beep! Beep!"
Just as Zarbon sneered at him, the numbers on his scouter began to jump again.
"Kid, stop struggling. I know your maximum is around 25,000. Even if I give you some room, 28,000 is your absolute limit," Zarbon said with a cold laugh. "Let me tell you my power level so you can give up! In this transformed state, I can reach 32,000! The gap between us isn't small!"
Broly ignored him completely. In his eyes, this guy was an idiot—still talking about power levels at a time like this.
In the next moment, Broly continued to push his power higher.
But as it rose, he felt intense pain all over his body—a piercing, unbearable sensation.
Once his power level reached around 25,000, every further increase caused the pain to multiply.
Yet if he didn't increase his power, he wouldn't be able to deal with Zarbon. In the end, he would just be captured and handed over to Frieza—either to be used or turned into an experiment.
He couldn't lose.
No—he absolutely couldn't lose!
Gritting his teeth, Broly forced his energy even higher.
"What?! His… his power level has reached 30,000?! H-How is that possible?!" Zarbon's pupils shrank in shock, as if he had encountered a monster. "He's just a Saiyan—how can this be?!"
Broly had no time to listen to his rambling. Even though 30,000 was already immense, it still wasn't enough to deal with Zarbon.
So he continued pushing his power upward.
However, upon reaching 30,000, Broly realized something terrifying—forget increasing it by thousands. Now, even raising it by a mere hundred made him feel like he was about to die from the pain.
At one point, he even had the urge to just die outright—the agony was almost unbearable.
Damn it… the fight hadn't even started yet, and pushing his power this far might kill him first.
Broly felt like crying without tears. At his current limit, 30,000 was all he could manage—and even that came at a brutal cost, like fighting with his life on the line.
Moreover, compared to Zarbon, he was still short by about 2,000.
With his current condition, defeating Zarbon would still be extremely dangerous.
"Power level 30,012… Kid, I really underestimated you," Zarbon said with a faint smile. "But I can tell—you must be in a lot of pain right now, aren't you?"
Being born with a power level of 30,000 was indeed monstrous.
Fortunately for Zarbon, this level of monstrosity was still something he could handle.
"Kid, I'll beat you half to death first. Then I'll take you back and hand you over to Lord Frieza for proper disposal!"
With a cruel grin, Zarbon lunged forward, reaching out to grab Broly.
