Chapter 526 Joining the Slug Legion and Replacing King Slug! (Part 2)
"Kakuga, how's the spaceship?"
"Lord Slug, the spaceship is severely damaged and may not be able to be repaired on this planet."
"Um?"
Seeing Slag's dangerous gaze, Kaguga quickly added, "However, the planetary modification equipment is not damaged. As long as we transform this planet into a spaceship, we will be able to continue traveling in space. And once we reach some high-tech planets, we should be able to obtain the necessary materials to repair the spaceship."
"How long will it take to terraform this planet?"
"Based on our previous estimates of the planet's size, it should take about a month."
Beside him, a short figure of the same race as Kaguga spoke.
"A month is too long, we need to speed it up."
"Ah, well, shortening the construction period might lead to planetary terraforming..."
The person who spoke was pierced through the heart by a beam of energy the next moment.
"I'm not discussing this, I'm giving an order, Kaguga. Tell me, how long will it take to terraform this planet?"
"I only need half a month."
Kaguga answered somewhat flusteredly after his clansmen were killed.
"Um?"
Seeing that King Slug was still somewhat dissatisfied, he quickly changed his mind and said ten days, which finally allowed the tyrannical Slug to sit back in the main seat.
"Then I'll give you ten days. After ten days, I need this planet to begin its journey through the universe."
Broly, who followed them into the spaceship, saw this scene but remained silent, because he was not familiar with the people on the spaceship and did not know who had died.
"Let's go, it's time for us to get to work."
Medama said hello and went out first.
"Is there anything I need to do?"
As a newcomer to the Slug Legion, Broly asked the question directly.
"First, we need to take down those monsters."
Once outside, I looked in the direction Medamaga was pointing.
Broly then saw the swarm of Wampa spiders migrating in the distance.
"May I ask why we needed to wipe out that swarm of Vampa spiders?"
"Wanpa Spiders, is that what those monsters are called? Never mind, those monsters killed so many of us, do we need a reason to kill them?"
"Wampas spiders are among the few creatures on this planet that can produce edible food. If it's not necessary, it's better to keep them than to kill them."
Broly began to explain.
"Oh, is that so?"
Medama was somewhat surprised.
"It tastes pretty good."
Meanwhile, the chubby Dorodabo had already picked up the dead Wampa spiders from the ground and was tasting them.
"Soup would be even better. My dad made some soup. Do you want to come eat with me?"
Dorodabo was somewhat tempted, but soon noticed that Angela was looking at him with a somewhat warning gaze.
"No, we still need to terraform this planet."
Doroda quickly declined Broly's offer to drink spider leg soup, a gesture of goodwill from his new comrade.
"Transforming the planet, what should I do?"
Broly asked again.
"We are not scientists, but combatants. As combatants, our only mission is to eliminate any creatures on this planet that might hinder the planetary terraforming project."
Metamarga explained the combatant's mission.
"Can I go home first and tell my dad about joining you?"
Broly asked.
"Okay, go ahead."
Broly returned to his cave before the soup was ready.
"So, is it because meteorite fragments hit and caused the riots?"
When Paragus saw his son return, he immediately asked him the question.
"Yes, but no."
Broly told his father about the Slug Legion.
"Clatter~"
The stone bowl containing the hot soup fell from Paragus's hands and shattered on the ground.
"A spaceship has arrived on Planet Wampa, is that true?"
Paragus was thrilled, because it meant he could finally leave this barbaric planet.
"It's true, but their spaceship was severely damaged by my attack. It seems that they need to convert Wampa into a new spaceship in order to continue traveling in the universe."
"Anything is fine as long as we can get out of this star system where aliens never come. By the way, Broly, would the Slug Legion like some soup? Or should we bring some over?"
. . . .
Paragus, carrying the spider leg soup, followed his son to the large Wanpa Spider nest, where preliminary preparations for planetary terraforming had already begun.
Temporary factories were built, drawing on trace amounts of iron from the soil of Wanpa Star to begin manufacturing engineering machinery.
Large disc-shaped devices were launched into the sky, spraying out thick black smoke and haze.
The once clear starry sky was shrouded in smog, making this area seem like it had entered a polar night.
Fortunately, there were lights on the spaceship side to serve as a guide.
"This is my father, Paragus."
Broly, upon arriving here, introduces his father to Metamaga and the others.
"Everyone, please have some soup."
Paragus was very hospitable. He took out a stack of stone bowls and distributed spider leg soup to everyone present.
"Uh, thank you."
The nearby demons who received the spider leg soup were somewhat stunned, and then subconsciously thanked him.
"Anything else that's very fresh and sweet?"
"A mouthful of sweltering soup," asked Dorodabo.
"besides."
Paragas personally served the other party another bowl of soup before inquiring about the situation outside of Planet Wampa from these outsiders.
Upon hearing from Metamaga that Planet Vegeta had long been destroyed, Paragus couldn't help but pump his fist and shout "Good!", which surprised Metamaga and the others.
"Broly, is something wrong with your father's head? I just told him about the destruction of your Saiyan planet!"
Metamarca pointed to his head and asked the boy, seriously doubting whether the middle-aged Saiyan dressed as a savage next to him had a problem with his brain.
Otherwise, how could the Saiyan opponent, being a Saiyan, be so happy after the destruction of Planet Saiyan?
"It's not that I'm mentally unstable, but my son and I were banished to Planet Vampa by King Vegeta. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have suffered so much on Planet Vampa!"
Paragus explained that what he meant by suffering was exactly what it seemed. The taste of the Vampira Spider used to be indescribable, comparable to golden juice. It was only because his son had a Crystal Palace that their lives improved.
But the good turn of events is due to his own son's abilities, and has nothing to do with King Vegeta. Those who should hate will still hate, and those who have grudges will still have grudges.
The only regrettable thing is that now that Planet Vegeta has been destroyed, the father and son cannot personally avenge King Vegeta.
"Broly, so this is what your life is like!"
Broly was inexplicably pitied by a colleague he had only met today. Medamaka raised her hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said...
"It's alright. Once you leave this star system with us and go to other inhabited planets, you and your son will definitely be able to eat and drink well."
"Actually, I think I'm living a pretty good life right now."
Broly told the truth, but it seemed that no one believed him except his elderly father.
Three more days passed.
The entire sky of Planet Wanpa was covered by a thick black haze.
Even during the day, sunlight cannot penetrate the area.
"Ugh, when will it get light? Bayamon needs to bask in the sun."
Paragus was somewhat troubled.
Without sunlight, the surface temperature of the entire planet Wampa is dropping rapidly.
Meanwhile, the Baya beast near their home lay listlessly in the pit.
The red fruit on its forehead was starting to shrivel up.
"I'll go ask."
Broly went to the large Vampa spider's nest and asked Metamaga and the others about it.
"Ha, when will it get light?"
Medama was stumped by the question and instinctively replied, "From now on, the sky on this planet will never brighten."
Why?
"Because most of us demons are afraid of sunlight, we might die if we are exposed to sunlight for too long."
Angela approached and answered Broly's question.
"Transforming a planet means naturally transforming it into an environment suitable for our demon race to live in."
Dorodabo arrived at that moment.
"But if it never gets light, my friends on this planet will feel bad."
"What friend?"
"Come with me."
Broly took the three of them to meet his Bayamon friend.
"Baya~"
Bayamon poked its huge head out of the pit, made a listless sound at Broly, and then brought its big head over for him to rub.
"This is the friend you're talking about?"
Angela, Metamaga, and Dorodabo, the three demons, twitched their eyelids. If this terrifying monster suddenly appeared and ambushed them, they might all be killed.
"Yes, this is my friend. You can call it Bayamon, and that's its kind..."
Broly was pointing in the direction of a series of pits, where more than a dozen Baya Beasts lived together.
"The Baya beasts need to bask in the sun regularly. They grow juicy fruits on their heads that taste quite good, so could you please bring some sunshine here?"
"Well, Kaguga is in charge of terraforming the planet. You'll have to ask him if we can leave an opening here to let sunlight in. We can take you there."
Angela, Medamaga, and Dorodapo felt indebted to Broly and his son for their hospitality, and they had been eating quite a few meals off them these past few days.
At this point, it was difficult to refuse the request to find a solution, so he suggested taking Broly and Paragus to find the person in charge of the planetary terraforming project.
"What? Leaving a gap in one place to let sunlight in? Do you know how much construction time that wastes?"
Kagyu immediately lost his temper upon hearing Broly's request. King Slug was pushing him too hard; if he didn't hurry up and get the work done, he would be next to die.
Then suddenly a new guy joined the legion, saying he wanted to increase the amount of planetary terraforming work for the sake of the planet's native friends. Was he kidding?
"Hey, Kaguga, watch your mouth. Broly is a legion officer just like us."
Dorodabo grabbed the little dwarf in front of him without any politeness and roared at Kaguga in his hand.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Kaguga belatedly realized that the legion's officers on this spaceship held a significantly higher status than him, a scientist. The officers were a group of demons with rather bad tempers, and Broly's polite attitude had made him subconsciously regard Broly as an unimportant person. Now that he realized it, he quickly apologized.
"Then tell me, is there any way?"
"There are solutions, but they're not really that helpful."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, even if we can open a hole now to let sunlight in, once we move this planet away, the stars in this system won't follow us. Sooner or later, this planet will be without sunlight."
Kaguga began to explain.
In his explanation, the planetary terraforming project itself does not take into account the survival of the original life forms on the planet being terraformed.
Basically, once a life form is removed from its original living environment, any life that is not strong enough will gradually die over time.
"What?"
This time, Broly grabbed Kaguga by the collar and lifted the short scientist up.
He never imagined that planetary terraforming would have such consequences.
"Is this the price to pay for planetary terraforming?"
Paragus asked from the side, and this Saiyan father usually helped groom Bayamon's fur. When it came to the bond between him and Bayamon, he was now no less affectionate than his own son.
However, if it was for the purpose of leaving this remote star system, he felt he was capable of making some necessary sacrifices.
"That's not true. There is a perfect version of real planetary terraforming technology that can ensure that the internal ecology of the terraformed planet will not experience mass extinction just because it is separated from its original star system."
Kaguga, who was being held in mid-air, quickly said.
"If you have that, why not use it?"
Broly frowned and asked.
"Because that kind of planet terraforming plan requires a very long time to complete, and King Slug only gave me ten days to terraform this planet. What can I do?"
Kagyu asked innocently, explaining that he was not a demon, but rather served in the Slug Legion after his race's planet was occupied. However, in reality, he was enslaved by the Slugs.
Their original planetary modification technology also underwent some changes after joining the Slug Legion.
They no longer focus on the original ecology of life-bearing planets, but only on changing the direction in a way that is more conducive to the Slug Legion, prioritizing efficiency.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I'll go find King Slug right now and persuade him to give you more time to transform this planet."
Broly put down Kaguga, but what he said drew stares from the others.
"Are you out of your mind?"
Kagaku stared wide-eyed at the Saiyan boy in front of him. His own kind had been killed by the impatient King Slug for saying that it would take a month to terraform the planet. Now, this guy was going to ask for a terraforming time in years, which was basically like lighting a lantern in the toilet—courting death.
"I believe that with proper communication, King Slug will change his mind and be willing to give more time to terraform the planet."
Broly said something serious and then strode toward the control room, seemingly preparing to go find Slug.
"Hey, Broly, you've just joined us, so you might not know Lord Slug's personality. In the Legion, Lord Slug is always the one who has the final say. He hates anyone who dares to go against his will. If you try to persuade him, you might get killed."
Metamaga quickly followed, trying to stop Broly's suicidal behavior.
"It's okay, I'm actually very good at persuading others, and I have a firm grasp of the principles of persuading people to change their minds."
Broly raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, then spoke to Metamaga and the others who had followed him out of concern for his condition.
The three demon officials looked at each other, wondering what truth the boy was talking about.
The group of several people quickly arrived at the main control room. After entering and seeing King Slug, Broly got straight to the point and told Slug, who was sitting on the main seat and taking a capsule, about his desire to change the current planetary terraforming plan, which only focused on efficiency and not on ecology.
"What? Just because you have a mere monster friend on this planet, you want me, Slug, to waste one or two years on this barren planet for some so-called perfect planetary transformation?"
"Yes, Bayamon are my important friends. I don't want to destroy their habitat by leaving here, and I don't want my friends to die because of it."
Upon hearing Broly's affirmative answer, Slug was almost amused with anger: "Broly, do you know what you're saying?"
"Lord Slug, please calm down. Broly is just a Saiyan child. He doesn't know how important time is to you, who are already old."
Dorodabo instinctively defended Broly, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he had said the wrong thing.
However, it was somewhat too late by then; Slag's murderous gaze had already fallen upon them.
"Ah, Lord Slug, that's not what I meant..."
The chubby Dorodabo frantically waved his hands, trying to explain, but Slug had no interest in listening to the explanations of this foolish subordinate who had angered him.
He raised his hand, his fingertips glowing, and a beam of energy shot towards Dorodabo's chest.
Dorodabo thought he was going to die and instinctively closed his eyes, but after a while, he found that he was not dead.
When he opened his eyes, he found Broly hovering in front of him, with a wisp of white smoke rising from his raised hand, seemingly blocking King Slug's energy beam attack for him.
"Saiyan brat, you're asking for it!"
Slag stood up, squinted, and looked down at Broly with a very dangerous gaze.
"I'm not looking to die, I'm just being reasonable."
Broly looked up at the other person and answered seriously.
"Only the strong have the right to speak the truth, and you are just a weakling in front of me."
"Slag said loudly."
"So, you want to confirm now who's stronger and who's weaker between us?"
