Dragon Ball: Ultimate Selection System

Upon hearing this, Link felt a surge of happiness.

According to legend, the greatest flaw of the Legendary Super Saiyan is that when fully powered, one can become uncontrollable, turning into a berserker focused solely on combat and destruction. Link's initial plan was to find a solution after merging his bloodline, but he hadn't anticipated that the system would resolve it all at once.

"A blessing in disguise," Link mused. Reflecting on it, spending five years to fuse the bloodline seemed worthwhile.

"System, can I view my combat strength?" Link asked.

[Certainly. Assessing combat strength is among this system's functions," the system responded. Subsequently, several lines of information appeared]

[**Host:** Link

**Combat Strength:** 550,000

**Bloodline:** Legendary Super Saiyan

**Skills:** Instant Transmission, Ki Control]

In five years, his combat strength had risen from 100,000 to 550,000. While this pace wasn't rapid, it was just the beginning. With Link's awakening, the Legendary Super Saiyan bloodline would truly reach its potential.

"By the way, system, can I transform into a Super Saiyan now?"

[Currently, the host's S-cells are insufficient. It's estimated that true transformation will be possible once combat strength reaches at least 1,000,000. For now, only a simulated Super Saiyan state is achievable]

"So a Pseudo-Super Saiyan? Isn't that from the original movie version?" Link pondered.

[The host has merged with the 'Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan' version of the bloodline, which differs slightly from 'Dragon Ball Super'.]

Hearing this, Link felt fortunate. The 'Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan' bloodline offers greater power but also a higher risk of losing control. But with the system's assistance, he no longer had to fear unexpectedly losing control and harming those around him.

After assessing his condition, Link looked up. Earlier, he sensed two familiar energies above—those of Broly and the Namekian, Nail.

"System, assess their power levels,"

Instantly, the system displayed their power levels:

- **Nail:** 42,000

- **Broly:** 230,000

Link was slightly taken aback. Before his deep sleep, Broly's combat strength was merely 10,000; now it had soared to 230,000—a 23-fold increase! As expected of someone with the Legendary Saiyan bloodline; truly remarkable.

Meanwhile, over the ocean, Broly and Nail noticed the diminishing light beneath the waves. Initially, they thought Link was about to emerge, but as time passed with no movement, concern grew.

"Nail, could something have happened to King Link?" Broly asked.

"Stay calm. His energy hasn't vanished; he might have just awakened..." Before Nail could finish, a figure suddenly appeared before them.

"Hey, Broly! Nail!" Link greeted.

Seeing Link awake, Broly laughed heartily and rushed over. "King Link!"

The two embraced. Observing the cheerful Broly, Link found it hard to associate him with the brooding, introverted Broly from the original story. Allowing him to grow up on Namek had indeed been the right choice.

"Link, what have you been up to these past five years? Your energy feels so different," Nail remarked, still cautious despite their acquaintance.

Link smiled, about to explain, when his expression shifted as he looked skyward. Broly and Nail mirrored his reaction. All three sensed numerous powerful and malevolent energies approaching Namek from space.

Boom!

Moments later, a sound echoed from the sky. They saw a massive spaceship descending through the atmosphere.

"Is that a ship from Frieza's forces?" Link wondered. The vessel resembled the one he had previously destroyed. Could it be Frieza or another member of the Frost Demon race? No, the energy signatures were much weaker than Frieza's, likely just some underlings.

Utilizing the system, Link discovered that the strongest among them had a combat strength of only 170,000. Considering Frieza's initial form boasted a power level of 530,000, these were merely high-ranking soldiers, not Frost Demons.

"Namekian inhabitants, this is the spaceship of space pirate Captain Pegan! Bring forth your planet's leader immediately, or we'll annihilate this world! You have ten minutes!" a booming voice declared from the spacecraft, audible across the planet.

"Damn invaders!" Nail cursed, ready to confront them.

Broly restrained him. "Nail, someone on that ship has a stronger energy than you. Let me handle this!"

As they debated, Link chuckled. "Relax, Broly. I've been dormant for five years; I could use some exercise. Let me take care of this."

With that, Link ascended toward the spaceship. After five years of inactivity, he was eager to stretch his muscles. Since these weren't Frieza's forces, he felt no reservations.

"Captain Pegan! Our detectors have identified an approaching individual!" an alien crew member reported aboard the ship.

Seated in the command chair was a one-eyed man—Captain Pegan. Resting his head on one hand, he asked, "Who is it? A Namekian?"

"Seems to be a Saiyan."

The monitor displayed the approaching figure. Noting the hair and tail, the crew quickly identified him.

"A Saiyan?" Pegan was momentarily surprised, then laughed. "I didn't expect to find a Saiyan on Namek! I heard they severely injured Lord Frieza five years ago and then vanished. To encounter one here is unexpected! Deploy the troops immediately! Capture him alive!"

Pegan stood up, clenching his massive fists. "King Cold is recruiting warriors to rebuild his army. Initially, I planned to capture the Namekians as a gift for King Cold... but finding a Saiyan is even better! It's as if luck is on my side!"

"Men, listen up! Capturing this Saiyan and uncovering the whereabouts of the others will surely earn us King Cold's favor! He might even grant me a promotion! So, bring him to me!"

"Yes, sir!" the crew responded, and numerous figures swiftly exited the spaceship.
