Loren's overwhelming power crushed Ginyu from every direction.
For the first time, Ginyu truly felt it—
Loren might actually be stronger than Lord Frieza.
"Since you like other people's bodies so much…"
"Then you won't be using one ever again."
Loren's hand tightened around Ginyu's neck.
"Stop!"
"Mr. Loren, no!"
Krillin and Gohan cried out.
The thing in front of them was the enemy—but the body was still Son Goku's. They couldn't watch that familiar form be destroyed.
And indeed, Ginyu couldn't be killed yet.
They needed to swap the bodies back first.
Loren reluctantly tossed Ginyu aside.
But in that moment… Ginyu grinned.
Using the last scrap of his strength—
"Change—Now!!"
A purple beam shot out from Ginyu's mouth, aimed straight at Loren.
This was Ginyu's ultimate, desperate gamble.
If he succeeded—
He would obtain Loren's body.
And then the entire universe would kneel before him.
At that exact instant—
[Ding! God-level choice triggered. Please choose, Host!]
A translucent screen appeared before Loren.
[Choice One: Allow Ginyu to swap bodies. Experience life in a strange cage. Reward: None.]
[Choice Two: Ruin Ginyu's plan and punish him accordingly. Show him the Host's body is sacred and untouchable!
Reward: 80,000 Battle Power + Skill unlocked: Kamehameha (Mastery) – Extreme Control.]
Loren's eyebrow twitched.
"What a joke."
"My body is for sunbathing and taking naps. Why would I let someone move in?"
"System, I choose Two."
[Ding! Perfect counterattack chosen.
Reward: 80,000 Battle Power + Kamehameha (Mastery – Extreme Control) has been credited!]
A powerful surge flooded Loren's limbs.
His strength jumped again.
Energy control techniques poured into his mind like a tidal wave.
Meanwhile, the purple "Change Now" light was already inches away.
Loren sneered.
As if he'd ever let Ginyu succeed.
Just before the purple light hit him—
Loren vanished.
In the next instant—
He reappeared beside Ginyu's original broken body, containing Goku's trapped soul.
He grabbed it.
Then used Instant Transmission again.
Loren hurled Ginyu's original body directly into the incoming light beam.
Everything happened in less than half a second.
"No—!!!"
Ginyu's most desperate scream echoed through the air.
The purple beam swallowed the battered purple body.
An invisible force ripped Ginyu's soul out of Goku's body—
And shoved it back into his own.
Bang!
Bang!
Both bodies collapsed beside each other.
Goku blinked weakly, then stood up slowly.
He stretched his arms, feeling the familiar warmth return.
A relieved smile formed.
"This is great! I'm back!"
Meanwhile—
Ginyu lay bleeding out, purple blood pooling around him.
Krillin and Gohan stood frozen.
That series of movements…
Their brains hadn't caught up.
But Goku had his body back—that was enough.
Only Vegeta stared at Loren, trembling slightly.
Loren…
Not only possessed monstrous power—
He had god-like mastery over everything happening around him.
"No… I can't die here…"
Ginyu, driven by pure survival instinct, lifted his head again.
He wasn't looking at Loren anymore.
He knew he couldn't win.
His target shifted to another Saiyan body—
One with enormous potential.
Vegeta.
"Change Now!!"
A weaker but still deadly purple beam shot toward Vegeta.
"What?!"
Vegeta's expression twisted in terror.
The idea of becoming that hideous purple creature—
Or being hijacked by this lowly bastard—
Was unthinkable.
Vegeta tried to dodge—but his body locked up.
He could only watch as the purple light grew larger in his pupils.
"Sigh…"
Loren looked at Ginyu with deep annoyance.
"Body swapping again? Enough already."
"I guess I'll send you to meet your teammates."
Loren lifted his right hand.
Brilliant blue energy spun and condensed rapidly.
"Ka…"
"Me…"
"Ha…"
"Me…"
A razor-focused blue beam—perfectly refined—erupted forward.
Just before the purple beam reached Vegeta—
BOOM—!!
Loren's Kamehameha swallowed Ginyu whole.
When the light faded—
Ginyu was gone.
Atomized.
The purple body-swapping beam, losing its source, dissolved silently.
Vegeta collapsed to the ground, trembling with lingering fear.
He, Prince Vegeta, had almost lost his body.
He actually felt gratitude toward Loren.
Goku bowed deeply.
"Loren! Thank you! If it weren't for you, I…"
Loren waved his hand lazily.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. No need to thank me."
"With Ginyu gone, we'll finally have some peace."
Even the proud Vegeta, awkwardly, muttered a thanks.
With the matter settled, Loren simply said:
"I'm leaving."
And vanished.
Gohan rushed into Goku's arms, crying and shaking.
"This is great, Dad! You're really back!"
Krillin dropped to the ground, completely exhausted.
But none of them knew—
What awaited them next
was the final boss of the universe—
Emperor Frieza.
