Red Skull knew that once that energy sphere fell, the island would likely be wiped out without a trace.
The moment he pressed the remote, a strange ray shot out from it. In an instant, the rays enveloped Broly.
Broly frowned slightly, not understanding what this thing was supposed to do.
"I now order you—withdraw that energy immediately!" Red Skull shouted at him.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was shocked to find Broly looking at him with a mocking expression.
"I order you—take back your energy and obey me!" Red Skull frantically pressed the button, and the purple rays emitted from it grew more intense.
Very quickly, the rays completely surrounded Broly.
It looked as though he had been trapped inside a purple bell-shaped barrier.
"You've spent all this time researching… just to control me with this?" Broly asked with a smirk.
Hearing Broly speak—and seeing that he was completely clear-headed—cold sweat poured down Red Skull's face.
What went wrong?
Why wasn't it working?
By all logic, this device should have been able to control him… so why had it failed?
Gritting his teeth, Red Skull crushed the remote in his hand. In the next moment, he produced another similar device.
In an instant, accompanied by three flashes of light, a massive dome formed, completely enclosing Broly.
A faint smile appeared on Red Skull's face.
"Boom—!"
At that very moment, Broly's energy sphere descended onto the island below.
With an earth-shattering explosion, the island was reduced to dust in an instant. A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the entire island sank into the ocean—completely erased from the Earth.
Seeing the destruction below, Red Skull trembled all over.
Such terrifying power—far beyond that of a nuclear bomb.
Fortunately, he had taken precautions. If he had still been on that island, he would probably be dead by now.
Wiping the cold sweat from his face, Red Skull relaxed somewhat after seeing Broly sealed inside the barrier. At the same time, his gaze toward Broly turned increasingly sinister.
"Broly, although I don't know why I can't control you, after years of dedicated research, I've finally found a way to obtain your power."
Red Skull burst into laughter, his face filled with delight.
Broly suddenly understood.
So that was why this guy had put this dome over him—it was designed to absorb his energy.
"Broly, the place you destroyed was just one of my many minor bases. It has no real impact on me," Red Skull said with a smile. "Also, this barrier surrounding you—if you release even a little energy, it will generate a powerful force, absorb your energy, and transmit it to my energy center, providing me with a constant supply of power."
He continued:
"Moreover, this barrier was custom-made specifically for you. Its material is the hardest 'black steel' in the universe—over a hundred times stronger than that captain's shield. So don't even think about escaping."
"Is that so?" Broly smiled, a sinister curve forming at the corner of his lips.
"If you don't believe me, you can try," Red Skull said confidently.
"This is what you've been researching for over a decade?" Broly sneered. "Looks like you still don't understand me well enough."
"No, you're wrong. I understand you very well. I told you—I know everything about you," Red Skull replied with a light laugh.
"Very well. Then I'll grant your wish… and provide you with an endless supply of energy."
As he said this, a yellow-green aura instantly burst out from Broly's body.
