Broly's wish

Of course, there were several wishes he wanted to have fulfilled.

He had first wished for the Saiyan curse to be lifted and what the dragon said was rather interesting, which had also aligned with what he got to know from the ancient civilization.

Every being in this multiverse except for the Omni-King had an upper limit. Maybe it was a natural law, or something made by the Omni-King himself.

If a being had trained in the most optimal and most efficient way possible until he used up all his potential and reached his peak, he would never be able to wrest himself from the influence of the multiverse and advance further.

This was the case for the mortals as well as for the gods. Everyone had an upper limit. It may vary from individual to individual but one's potential would someday reach its summit.

With the use of god ki, every being could raise their upper limit by a notch if their body could sustain this kind of energy.

Especially, Gods of destruction, at its ascending, would also be granted a lot of power and room to grow. To a degree they weren't influenced by even space and time.

They were to govern every other being in their universe after all and it would be a rare occurrence if such a being was born.

This was also why this era with Goku and Jiren was such a miraculous event.

An era in which two such beings were able to surpass the weaker gods of destruction, that would probably only occur every tens of millions of years.

To become a god of destruction would grant oneself immeasurable immediate gains but also tremendous opportunities for the future. However, everything came with a prize.

After becoming a god, one's connection with the multiverse would deepen. A connection that couldn't be severed anymore after it was established.

Additionally, the god's life would be linked with the weak Supreme Kai's. This was enough reasons why he would never become a god.

He didn't want to bound himself to this multiverse or to a Kai. His ambitions had grown with his strength.

When Broly received the knowledge of the history of the ancient civilization, he had seen the war they waged with near multiverses. One part in particular was interesting.

There were many humanoids mostly covered in fur, who had attacked their forces. With every battle these opponents grew in strength.

There didn't seem to be an end to their potential and as they fought, they became increasingly dangerous.

Of course, with the strength of the ancient civilization, Pera, they had decimated thousands of these exceptional beings. These beings were Saiyans.

In ancient times, they were born with no limits.

Broly suspected that either the Omni-King or someone of his capabilities had created this race in order to wage war. However, afterwards they were too dangerous to be let loose with their unlimited potential.

Someone had restricted their potential by binding them once again to the multiverse.

So, in fact, the Saiyan curse was just a normal restriction, which should have been there to begin with and was ever present in every other being.

From this Broly had suspected that this upper limit was a manmade restriction and not a natural law of this multiverse.

It was probably the Omni-King. Broly had the feeling that Lord Zeno was just faking his childlike attitude and appearance, but he wasn't entirely sure yet.

He also guessed that one of Lord Zeno's abilities was to be able to exterminate all beings that were connected to this multiverse. The ancient Saiyans would surely be a threat to his reign if that was the case.

As for what this 'curse breaker' that the Frost Demon had mention was, Broly could only guess, but considering what he knew already, it was likely that it was just a fake beacon for the Saiyans to pursue.

They would sacrifice much blood to get their hands on something to break their curse, only to be all in vain in the end.

It didn't help that all the other races suddenly turned against the Saiyans, which probably wasn't a coincidence either.

Either way he had no thoughts on binding himself to this multiverse, that was why he had wished for all his power to be part of his soul. His Ki and his innate Saiyan powers would root in his soul.

He had two reasons for this.

One reason, of course, would be the near immortality that Whis had mentioned. Even if his body died, his powerful soul could then resist the call of the afterlife.

With time and his lifeforce, he could heal and even rebuild his body. Obviously, that would take a lot of time to do, but it was better than dying altogether, wasn't it?

To kill his soul would need to have it attacked by powers on the level of god ki. It would exhaust his soul's energies and let him die from 'starvation'.

The gods of destruction on the other hand could just erase his existence with Hakai energy. Normal people's energies would deplete over time if they didn't cultivate.

When the soul wasn't bound to a body, they would also feel the pull of the afterlife and the pressure of the universe, which quickened their depletion.

Their only chance for survival would be to cultivate nonstop. During that they would hardly be able to create a new body.

That was also why Kakos had attached himself to Broly instead of creating his own body.

Furthermore, Broly had the privilege that he could automatically generate his energies. He didn't need to deliberately cultivate and could put his attention to other things.

With his entire being merged into his soul, he was probably one of the few that could actually survive and resurrect on his own without relying on others.

Indeed, he could be said to be immortal now and for everyone else it looked like that was his aim all along. However, this wasn't his main reason for having this wish fulfilled.

Due to the First Sword of Pera and his soul's transformation and baptism, his soul's connection to this multiverse was already severed and part of his energy was merged with it. Even then, he was still bound to this multiverse.

His Saiyan powers and his ki belonged to the body and was thus still part of this multiverse. If he wanted to ascend, if he wanted to surpass Lord Zeno himself, he needed all his strength to be his own!

With this his potential wasn't limited anymore, he could now soar!

When he had his wish fulfilled, the sword had intercepted the dragon gods power, shaped and augmented it with the technique that was used to place his other energies into his soul previously.

Broly had his doubts if his wish could be granted like he wanted as there were too many factors to be considered. He couldn't be too specific with his wish.

He couldn't wish for something like, severe the energies connection to the universe as well, but fortunately the sword and Pera's technique was flexible. It guided and transformed the dragon god's power.

It was currently in the midst of severing the connection. It was an excruciating experience, but he was already used to all kinds of pain and didn't grimace even slightly.

Broly had directly felt the changes in his being. He felt like he was only 'wearing' his body, instead of identifying it as himself.

Obviously, he had felt this in his first transformation as well, but now it was almost finished.

This was also the reason why he didn't want to wish for an immortal body.

The worst scenario would be that the connection between the immortal and the multiverse would tighten. That being would have to serve the multiverse for eternity.

The best scenario would be if one really only ended up with an immortal body, but the immortal still could never surpass Lord Zeno. The body would still have a loose connection to the multiverse.

In both scenarios the immortal could never fully extricate himself from the multiverses influence and with the body as an anchor, he could never surpass the upper limit.

Broly had gained what he was after all this time. He was one step of being completely free.

The sword would help him be undetected, otherwise he would have already died by lord Zeno's hands. There was one thing left for him to do.

Although his soul was free, his body was not. It was now only an empty shell, but it still belonged to this multiverse.

His body in a sense was also just energy from universe 7. Who knew if he could be tracked or restricted through it by Lord Zeno in the future?

If he wanted to be a complete independent being in this multiverse, he needed to destroy his body and recreate it with his own energy.

He would be vulnerable for some time as his soul was without protection.

His tempered body wouldn't be as strong as it was currently, but every hidden restriction would be lifted. Broly wanted to be thorough.

In the series Lord Zeno had only initiated the tournament after Goku's reminder.

So, if he wanted to replace his own body, Goku needed some distractions to not get bored. Broly grinned as he thought about it.

He would prepare enough villains to give Goku a headache.
