As Lynx fell into the pit of despair, Broly slowly floated down toward him, his body surrounded by a flickering yellow-green aura.
His glowing eyes locked onto Lynx, and a deep, guttural growl rumbled from his throat.
"My power… It's overflowing! I'm gonna explode! RAAHH!! KILL! KILL… KILL!!"
Suddenly, Broly's body tensed. He clenched his fists and let out a thunderous roar.
Energy surged around him in a terrifying storm, forming a massive sphere that completely enveloped his body—dense, volatile, and radiating destructive force.
Seconds later—
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Countless emerald energy blasts exploded outward in all directions. Massive detonations rocked the battlefield. Even Goku and the others, watching from a distance, were almost caught in the chaos.
Thankfully, Goku acted just in time, using Instant Transmission to teleport the group to safety.
The rest of the planet, however, wasn't as lucky.
Those soldiers who had managed to flee earlier… and the unfortunate slaves of Planet Shamo who hadn't yet boarded escape pods—were all annihilated by the onslaught of energy.
And Lynx, closest to the epicenter, took the brunt of it.
Already drained from his previous attacks, he could barely keep his defenses up. His aura collapsed under the bombardment, and he crashed to the ground.
His Super Saiyan form failed. His hair turned black once more.
"D-dammit…"
With what little strength he had left, Lynx reached into his system inventory and pulled out a Senzu Bean. He was just about to pop it into his mouth when—
WHUMP!
Broly appeared directly above him.
"So that's how you've been healing—those little beans, huh?"
With a sadistic smirk, Broly dropped down—stomping directly on Riku's wrist.
"AAAHHHHH!!"
The bones in Lynx's hand shattered on impact. The Senzu Bean rolled away.
Broly jumped again—and this time, stomped onto Lynx's gut.
SPLURT!
Blood exploded from Lynx's mouth.
Damn it…!
The pain was unbearable. Rage began to surge through Lynx's body.
Why hasn't it happened yet?! I'm this close to death—why haven't I transformed?!
He'd bet everything on this. This wasn't some suicidal charge. He wasn't delusional.
His final trump card—the one thing he'd kept hidden—was the Legendary Super Saiyan blood flowing through his veins.
A bloodline that not only increased power with age… but also had a unique trait:
"The Legendary Super Saiyan grows stronger against stronger foes."
Lynx's entire strategy had been to force himself to awaken this transformation by facing Broly head-on.
But now…Now it seemed like it had all been in vain.
Nothing was working.
THUD!
Another crushing blow slammed into him. The ground beneath him cracked and crumbled.
Every bone in Lynx's body was now broken.
His energy was nearly gone—so faint it was barely detectable.
And then—He felt it.
A change inside his body.
His cells—billions of them—began to quiver violently. Golden energy surged through his bloodstream, flooding his limbs, then vanishing again.
Only to erupt once more.
"Lynx's going to die! Everyone, lend me your energy! I need the power to beat Broly!" Goku struggled to his feet, desperate to help.
But before he could act—
BOOOOM!
A monstrous power suddenly erupted.
"This energy…!" Goku blinked.
"No way!" Piccolo gasped.
"That's Mr. Lynx's energy! But… how?"Trunks was stunned.
Vegeta, shaking, clenched his teeth.
"Im… impossible… The Legendary Super Saiyan is only born once every thousand years… So how the hell does he—?!"
In the distance, lightning split the skies.
Lynx—who just moments ago had been broken and bloodied—floated into the air, enveloped in a storm of yellow-green energy.
His appearance had transformed.
He now stood tall—well over two meters in height—his body bursting with lean, sculpted muscle rivaling Broly himself.
But unlike Broly's blank madness, Lynx's eyes still shone—calm, piercing green, filled with will.
Lynx had finally awakened—the Legendary Super Saiyan.
"So that's the key… Even for the Legendary Super Saiyan, the trigger is rage."
Lynx looked down at his glowing body—now crackling with unimaginable power.
Now it made sense.
Until now, everything had come too easily to him. Even Frieza had been no threat—he'd crushed him without effort.
He'd never had a reason to feel true anger.
But just now…That moment of complete helplessness—his rage at himself for being weak—that was the spark.
And it had ignited the fire.
Lynx's power now dwarfed anything he'd wielded before.
His transformation didn't just heal his injuries—it amplified his battle power from 1.6 million to 80 million.
A 50-fold increase.
He now stood on par with Broly.
But unlike Broly, who was slowly slipping into madness, Riku could control himself.
He wouldn't become a berserker. He wouldn't lose himself.
This power… it's mine.
Lynx smirked.
He turned toward Broly—and motioned with his finger.
"Come."
"RAAAHHH!! KILL!!"
With a primal scream, Broly lunged like a meteor, fist flying straight at Lynx's face.
SLAP!
His punch stopped midair—caught by Lynx's hand.
"What's wrong?" Lynx smiled. "Doesn't feel good being overpowered, does it? You hit me a lot just now. It's my turn."
BAM!!
Lynx's fist collided with Broly's gut. The Legendary Saiyan's eyes bulged as he coughed up blood, staggering forward.
The unshakeable, unstoppable Broly… was in pain.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A relentless barrage followed.
Lynx pummeled him through the sky, into the ground, and back up again—like a storm given form.
Broly, for the first time, couldn't react.
He was no longer the hunter—he was the hunted.
And finally…
Broly's energy began to drop.
