LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 7: Chapter 7
{I will post today's and tomorrow's chapters so I can do nothing tomorrow.}
"Where is that kid?" I thought with a frown seeing as my assistant was nowhere to be found. I spread out my senses, a skill I picked up on. It's called Ki sense, something that people with high mastery of Ki can do.
Ki was pretty much lifeforce, it was from the world of Dragon Ball. Every living being has Ki, only some can draw it out, and others can't. I had of course toyed around with Ki while watching the anime, I had recreated many of the techniques I was watching.
'...' I frowned as I couldn't sense the kid anywhere. My eyes glowed, turning golden. My view of the world suddenly grew to unmatched levels, almost as if I became an all-seeing deity. These were the Fiery Golden Eyes
By surviving in Lao Zi's furnace for 49 Days Sun Wokong obtained special eyes. He can see through all disguises, illusions, and transformations. His eyes are unhindered by darkness, and he can see even the smallest details up to three hundred miles away. This also allows him to see people's dualities, such as if they are evil or good, rich or poor, etc.
Sun Wukong had stated that he could see the entire world. Sadly, my eyes were not that powerful yet, as at most I could see the whole planet without problems. I flashed, arriving above a run-down house, there I saw where Tommy's body lay, slowly rotting and forgotten.
With a thought, the house broke apart and out came Tommy's body, covered in his own blood... I just floated there, having a hard time comprehending that just yesterday, this kid was smiling, fighting to change his fate, and today he was dead.
"Broly, we will make sure his parents pay," Batman said from his jet. I ignored him, I didn't care for him right now... I hated this, part of me was saying just move on, he died while off the cloak so his death is none of your business... but another part was telling me he was my friend. I barely had time to know the kid before he up and died, the kid didn't even have the chance to grow before he was killed.
I floated off, quickly arriving before a house which had people inside doing drugs... I ignored everyone, and under my will, the house broke apart and out came my targets. Tommy's mother and father were out cold thanks to the drugs.
"Broly, don't do this!" Batman said, but I completely ignored him. I landed on the ground, just looking at these two... I looked at them for a good few minutes, wondering what I should do with them. I ignored all the guns aimed at me, but those guns lowered when they noticed the Justice League which was surrounding the place.
{A/N: I was going to have Broly transform over this event, but I changed my mind.}
I let out a deep breath, before opening my palm out, and without the need to chant, I cast a spell. A portal to hell opened before everyone's eyes, a sight that left the few magic casters of the Justice League stunned. Such magic casters were Zatara and his daughter Zatanna.
How did I know magic? Simple really, I scanned them. I could transform into them, and unlike Sun Wukong who needs information on the target to perfectly transform into a target and get all known abilities they have... well, I just needed to see them, and I could perfectly become them. It went as far as me adapting to their abilities and even learning and improving them thanks to Doomsday.
"This is where these two belong... out of my sight," I said throwing the two into the sea of demons that were looking toward me in confusion. The demons all jumped toward the new souls in hell, unable to wait to feel their suffering.
I watched as the two woke up, their screams quickly filling everyone's ears. Superman tried to fly into the portal to save them, but he couldn't help but freeze in horror at what the demons were doing to those two. It made him sick, even I had to close the portal disgusted by having my innocence destroyed like that.
With another thought, a portal to heaven opened... well a portal to the gates of heaven opened. I stepped inside, Tommy's body following behind me. I looked around, Heaven was truly a beautiful place, it was so pure and peaceful without a hint of evil... that was until I stepped onto the pure white clouds.
{A/N: Like how Apokolips is located within the Sphere of the gods, but a version of it appears across the multiverse, I believe Heaven and hell are the same.}
The angels on guard were alerted to my arrival, they wasted no time, ready for battle while ordering me to stop. I ignored them, shattering the heavenly gates by flying through them. This caused alarm to fill heaven, and seconds later a sea of angels shot into the sky, all shooting towards me.
I shot through them, they all had a power level of around 10,000, all far stronger than the Justice League... but I had a power that they couldn't even dare to comprehend.
Boom
My pupils shrank as a heavy blow landed on my stomach, I was sent rocketing into the sky, and I lost hold of Tommy's body which I was holding with my telekinesis. I gritted my teeth, looking at the red-haired angel shooting after me with a smirk.
The angel was strong, with a power level of 100 billion, he was amongst the strongest beings in the universe. He arrived before me, his fist landing hard on my face... just for that smirk to disappear as he found that I easily withstood that punch without bothering to move.
"W-what!" He said in shock before he was sent rocketing to the ground while coughing up a mouth full of blood. I wasted no time, easily dodging a sword aimed at my neck. I looked at the blonde-haired man in silver armor, looking at me with a deep frown. He was strong, having a power level almost at a trillion, I guess he might be Micheal.
"What is the meaning of this attack?" He said angrily
"I came to get a soul, then I'm out," I said to which the angel glared at me, clearly unwilling to let take the soul. I floated there, glaring at all of the angels who were surrounding me. Picture a sea of doves surrounding you in a dense orb.
"Broly Stop!" A cry sounded, drawing not just my attention but the rest of the angels. There, we saw Tommy who was wearing pure white clothing.
I floated down towards the kid, I came all this way to get his soul. The kid had a whole life ahead of him, for him to just die like that and leave it all behind... I don't know, for someone who wanted to be free, I was contradicting myself. Well, people don't change overnight. Freedom was something I didn't fully comprehend yet.
***
The Justice League watched as Broly stepped out of the portal, a confused look in his eyes. Everyone moved, wanting to see Heaven, it was something many people would of course want to see. And there, they saw the golden city, and the sea of angels... and in the front of all of them, Michael who was giving Broly's back a look of displeasure stood.
Their eyes soon landed on Tommy who was waving Broly goodbye, allowing them to understand the look on Broly's face. He went to get Tommy back, but in the end, he failed because Tommy didn't want to come back... I mean who would want to leave such a place?
"Move," Broly said coldly to Batman who stood in his path, it was clear Broly had no interest in playing with them, but Batman had to get something off his shoulder.
"You seek freedom, not understanding that your goal to gain freedom is a chain in itself. Your Desires shall always be the strings that control you, your goals shall always be the things that drive you. You can cast them off, but is it worth it if what you are is no more?" Batman asked, causing Broly to pause for a second.
Broly never thought of the fact that... his goals were also his strings. Wanting Freedom is also a chain, unless you're fated to be free, you would never be free. How do you become free? You could erase all your desires, leaving behind a pure and empty shell that simply evolves and evolves to perfection... but he didn't want that.
Broly said nothing to Batman, simply moving him to the side with his telekinesis and going on with his day... no hero dared to stop him even after he threw someone to hell.
Batman watched Broly leave, before jumping into his jet and flying off. He had been watching Broly for days now, and understood many things about Broly character... meanly because Broly searched up many things related to his dream and the fact Broly spoke to himself to help him think.
Batman did blame himself for Tommy's death, He was planning on making a move to put his parents behind bars and get Broly to take the kid in, but with the Justice League members injured and unable to work, he didn't have the time... Honestly, that plan of Batman would have worked, one doesn't change overnight. Broly would have taken the kid in while making lies to himself... could it be said that Broly was Lucky?
Broly was someone who wished to remove the strings known as Fate, he wanted to be free, which makes sense by his actions the past week. He didn't come with the Justice League because he saw it as a form of control, he went to speak with the president to strike fear into the heart of the US government to ensure they knew what he could do,
After seeing Broly open portals, batman came to the understanding that Broly isn't something that can be stopped if thrown into the Phantom Zone, Broly would just pop out. If Broly is fought, Broly will just grow stronger... how do you face such a thing?
Back On the Watch Tower, Batman sat before a screen trying to locate where Broly was... that was until one of his satellites around Mars alerted him of some movement on Mars. He quickly opened a screen to show such a scene, and there he was stunned seeing Broly just sitting on Mars,
"Looks like he searching for the meaning of life. Your words had a deeper impact than expected." Wonder Woman said lightly,
"I had to, I didn't want his thinking to take him down the wrong path, this would buy me time to think of something else," Batman said while walking off, leaving Wonder Woman standing there, and watching Broly.
