Moreover, Broly quickly came to a conclusion—if he kept his power level at around 20,000, the pain in his body was still manageable.
And at roughly 20,000, he could already contend with Zarbon on equal footing.
At this moment, Zarbon was doing his best to control his body, suppressing his energy consumption to the lowest possible level as he sped toward Frieza's spaceship.
"You little brat, I'll settle this with you properly next time!" Zarbon was furious. Losing to a newborn Saiyan child was simply unbelievable.
If he returned to Frieza like this, he wouldn't even know how to explain himself.
Just as he was flying at full speed, Zarbon suddenly noticed through his scouter that Broly was catching up.
"This brat has a death wish!" Zarbon's face twisted in anger. He had already chosen not to pursue him, yet the kid dared to come back and provoke him.
Zarbon came to a stop, his eyes turning vicious as he glared at Broly.
Broly, however, grinned. Without wasting any words, he casually flicked his hand—sending an energy blast shooting toward Zarbon.
"Hmph, a cheap trick!" Zarbon snorted coldly, circulating his energy as he slapped it away.
Bang!
The energy blast instantly dispersed into nothingness, vanishing into the vastness of space.
Broly grinned again, his hands not stopping as he formed another energy blast.
"Brat, that won't work on me!" Zarbon said disdainfully, grabbing it and crushing it effortlessly.
But in the next moment, his expression changed.
The Saiyan child suddenly formed more than a dozen energy blasts and hurled them all toward him at once.
"Can't you understand what I'm saying? I told you these are useless!" Zarbon struck them away with several quick blows, sneering as the attacks scattered.
Yet the very next instant, his face darkened.
Broly had no intention of stopping—he created another wave of energy blasts and threw them again.
And this time, Zarbon noticed the sinister smile at the corner of Broly's mouth.
In a flash, realization struck him.
"He… he's trying to stall me! He wants to keep me from returning to the spaceship!" Zarbon's eyes widened.
After knocking away the incoming blasts, he clenched his teeth and decided to ignore Broly entirely, accelerating forward.
He did want to beat Broly down—but he knew it wasn't realistic. Their power levels were too close; it wasn't certain who would win.
However, what frustrated Zarbon even more was that Broly refused to give up.
In an instant, a massive energy sphere—nearly thirty meters in diameter—formed in Broly's hands.
With a grin, he hurled it straight at Zarbon.
"Brat, don't think I'm easy to bully!" Zarbon was furious. But upon seeing the enormous energy sphere, he didn't dare be careless and quickly dodged to the side.
What enraged him further was that the energy sphere seemed to have a mind of its own. After passing him, it curved around from a distance and chased after him again.
"Damn it!" Zarbon roared in anger. His energy erupted as he lashed out with a powerful kick at the massive sphere.
Boom!
The energy sphere shattered on impact, exploding into violent waves of energy that spread across space.
