In a desolate and ruined wasteland, the air reeked with the stench of blood.
Purple chunks of flesh squirmed on the ground. Cell, who had taken a fatal blow from Gokhan, wasn't completely dead. Thanks to his modified body, the Namekian cells within him had been further enhanced.
At this moment, he was controlling his own brain, rebuilding his body from scratch. Near him, rotten flesh that had once belonged to Frieza and Cooler still twitched. The Frieza race was known for their tenacity and powerful life force. The two brothers hadn't died entirely.
On the ground, Frieza's eyeballs twitched violently. Fear filled his pupils. He was witnessing Cell slowly reconstructing his body, piece by piece.
Cell's regenerative ability shocked him to the core. If only he had such a power… Frieza envied it deeply. And then, something even more shocking happened. A pink silhouette suddenly appeared on this blood-soaked land.
The newcomer was none other than Majin Buu. He hadn't paid much attention to Trunks and Kibito disappearing. In his eyes, those two were trash, not worth worrying about.
He had bigger plans now, and this was just the beginning.
With a glance at the recovering Cell, Majin Buu looked away with a smirk of disdain.
Then his gaze landed on Frieza. With surprising friendliness, he waved and greeted him: "Hello there!"
Frieza was startled. A memory flashed in his mind, something his father, King Cold, once warned him: "Never mess with a pink creature."
And now, one stood before him. Frieza was stunned, and what happened next blew his mind. Super Buu placed a hand on his mangled body, releasing a wave of green healing light.
And then, something unbelievable happened: Frieza's body began to regenerate!
In no time, a fully restored Frieza stood once again.
Frieza looked at Super Buu, confused. "You… healed me?"
Super Buu shrugged casually. "I just happened to be passing by, that's all."
Then he asked with feigned concern, "So, what happened to you anyway?"
Hearing this, Frieza exploded with rage, his fists clenched tightly. The image of Gokhan's face flashed in his mind.
"Damn you!! Son Goku and Gohan! I'll kill you both!"
Consumed by hatred, he also began blaming Cell. "You bastard, Cell! If it weren't for you destroying the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, I could've stabilized that form!"
Frieza glanced hatefully at Cell's rebuilding form, his hand instinctively glowing with power. Seeing this, Super Buu panicked, quickly stepping in to stop him.
"Whoa whoa, hold on, don't be hasty! This form you're talking about, what do you mean?!"
Frieza's body trembled slightly. Though proud, he was also a gentleman, and this guy had just saved his life.
So, out of respect, Frieza showed him. His body suddenly burst into a golden light. Frieza's muscles tensed, he was forcing himself to break through his limits.
"Damn it!! I WILL surpass myself!!"
"Aaaaaah!!!!"
His mind overflowing with vengeance, Frieza's hatred for Gokhan had sunk deep into his bones. The golden aura flared wildly around him, growing purer with every second, fueled by rage. And finally, after nearly a full minute of transformation, a brand new Frieza stood before Super Buu.
With a crazed grin, he declared: "Hohoho… I am now Golden Frieza, the true Emperor! My friend, I'm very grateful that you saved me."
But the moment those words left his mouth, Frieza suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body hadn't fully recovered, Super Buu had only reconstructed Frieza's physical form.
But the Golden Frieza transformation consumed tremendous stamina. Right now, he was merely a low-health version of Golden Frieza. Watching Frieza spit blood, Super Buu flashed a sinister smile, but it vanished just as quickly.
"Looks like you celebrated a little too early. Relax. Let me heal you one more time."
Frieza instantly grew wary. He stared at Majin Buu, and King Cold's warning echoed again and again in his mind. But looking at Super Buu's gentle, friendly face, he hesitated.
And that's when the trap was sprung, without warning! Super Buu revealed his true nature. A net of flesh shot out and completely enveloped Frieza. Frieza was too weak to dodge. His body was in no shape to fight back, just as Buu had planned.
He had deliberately left Frieza only partially healed. Frieza struggled and screamed inside the flesh net, cursing and howling. Eventually, his transformation collapsed, and he returned to his base form, Super Buu had once again succeeded.
Golden Frieza had been absorbed.
Super Buu burst into maniacal laughter: "HAHAHAHA!! IDIOT!! FOOL!! You think there's such a thing as a free lunch in this world?! Hahaha! I will become stronger and stronger… until I RULE THIS WORLD!!"
His eyes turned toward Cooler and Cell. Now that the most troublesome one, Frieza, had been absorbed, it was time to finish the job.
He lowered his head, smiling greedily. With a deep inhale, he sucked in both the not-quite-dead Cooler and Cell into his belly. But just then, his gaze snapped to a nearby boulder.
Someone was watching him from behind the rock.
"Hmph. Come out, my next meal."
With those words, Super Buu blasted the boulder to pieces with a single glance. A heavily muscular figure stepped out, none other than Broly… or rather, Captain Ginyu, who had switched bodies with him.
"Y-You… You killed Lord Frieza?!" Ginyu stammered, trembling.
Super Buu gave a casual smirk, and his face transformed into Frieza's.
"What are you talking about? I am Frieza."
The sight was so bizarre, Ginyu nearly lost his mind. He stammered, horrified: "No! You're not him!"
Poor Ginyu… He had swapped into Broly's body, thinking he could once again serve under Frieza.
But now, even Frieza was gone. His entire reason for existing had collapsed.
"BASTARD!! GIVE ME BACK LORD FRIEZA!!"
Ginyu fired a laser at Super Buu, but it barely scratched him. Ginyu still wasn't fully in sync with Broly's body.
Super Buu sneered.
"If you have something to say, say it inside my body."
He slowly approached Ginyu, step by step. Cornered like a mad animal, Ginyu panicked. He had seen Frieza absorbed, and knew he was next.
"BODY SWAP!!"
Super Buu tilted his body slightly, dodging it easily.
"Oh? I see… So that's your ability? Interesting," he muttered.
Ginyu had failed. Desperate, he tried Body Swap again, but just then, Super Buu spotted a frog nearby. It wasn't just any frog, it was Broly, whose body had been taken by Ginyu.
Ever since the swap, the frog had been trailing behind him. With a flick, Super Buu picked up the frog and threw it at Ginyu.
The result?
Ginyu turned back into a frog. And Broly, now back in his original body, was immediately absorbed as well. This entire scene was witnessed in real time by Shin, the Supreme Kai, from the Kaiōshin Realm.
His eyes shifted to Vegeta, and he shouted anxiously at the Old Kai: "Ancestor!! Have you pulled out the tail yet?!"
