He grits his teeth… but does not lose his whole composure.

…This guy didn’t seem to be lying.

He clenched his jaw and remained silent. It was obvious he couldn’t sense it, even if he didn’t answer.

He glances at the energy ball. This one… his ki… Broly couldn’t feel it. It was like his energy was undetectable…

“ 𝖨’𝗆 𝗇𝗈𝗍 𝗀𝗈𝗇𝗇𝖺 𝖿𝗂𝗀𝗁𝗍 𝗒𝗈𝗎. 𝖨𝖿 𝖨 𝖽𝗈, 𝖨’𝗅𝗅 𝗇𝖾𝗏𝖾𝗋 𝗀𝖾𝗍 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗌𝖾 𝗀𝗈𝖽-𝖿𝗈𝗋𝗌𝖺𝗄𝖾𝗇 𝗋𝖾𝗌𝗍𝗋𝖺𝗂𝗇𝗍𝗌 𝖻𝖺𝖼𝗄 𝗈𝗇. ”

Mortal? What did he mean by that? The only non-mortal thing he…

No, wait. He did know of non-mortals. The kais in the afterlife.

“ …𝖨 𝗌𝗎𝗉𝗉𝗈𝗌𝖾 𝖨 𝖺𝗆 𝗆𝗈𝗋𝗍𝖺𝗅. 𝖶𝗁𝖺𝗍’𝗌 𝗂𝗍 𝗍𝗈 𝗒𝗈𝗎? ”

“ …𝖠𝗋𝖾 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝖺𝗇 𝗂𝖽𝗂𝗈𝗍? ”

He scowls. If this isn’t Goku… then perhaps a relative or someone close enough to his genes. Many Saiyans looked similar to one another. His father always said Bardock and his son looked very similar.

“ 𝖨𝖿 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝖺𝗋𝖾𝗇’𝗍 𝖪𝖺𝗄𝖺𝗋𝗈𝗍, 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗇 𝗀𝖾𝗍 𝗈𝗎𝗍 𝗈𝖿 𝗆𝗒 𝗌𝗂𝗀𝗁𝗍. ”

If this woman could realize her true self, perhaps he could do the same and find out who he was under all this rage… she was the evidence that such a transformation of self was possible.
