Bang!

When the guards outside heard King Cold shout from inside the room, they no longer dared to delay. They immediately blasted the door apart with a shockwave.

"King Cold!"

When they rushed into the room, they saw King Cold gripping one of his personal guards.

But the guard's head was slumped to one side. He was clearly dead.

"King Cold, he, he..."

"You useless fools! He's the culprit behind the recent string of attacks!" King Cold threw the corpse to the floor. "Clean up the scene, then burn this guy's body!"

With that, King Cold walked out of the room.

"Yes, yes..."

The attendants knelt on the ground, watching King Cold leave.

Then, looking at the corpse on the floor, they wondered aloud, "He was one of the king's personal guards. How could he dare attack the king?"

"Who knows? Maybe he went crazy. He was already one of the king's guards, and still didn't understand how terrifying King Cold was? What an idiot."

The attendants had no idea that the King Cold they were talking about was actually the corpse on the floor.

The man who had just walked out was Ginyu, who had taken over King Cold's body!

When Ginyu returned to the room reserved for King Cold and shut the door, he finally couldn't hold back his laughter. "Hahaha! Power! I can feel the power!"

"So this is what a Frost Demon's body is like? The power inside it surges and spills out—it's practically about to explode!"

"Right! Frost Demons can transform, too! King Cold and Frieza have been suppressing their power all this time! If I transform again, won't I be invincible?"

Suddenly, Ginyu calmed down. "No... I'm not invincible yet. Even if I transform into my final form, I'm probably still no match for a Super Saiyan... I need to get stronger! I have to become even stronger! This body should be able to keep training. There's still plenty of potential to unlock!"

"Right! And there are the Dragon Balls! I'll use them to become immortal. If I can live forever, and I have this Frost Demon body, then I, Captain Ginyu, will rule the entire universe!"

"Just you wait, Saiyans! Once I surpass the limits of the Frost Demon race, I'll come for you! The most powerful emperor in the universe won't be Frieza or you Saiyans—it'll be me, Ginyu!"

"Jaco! Does that Zuno guy really know everything?"

"Of course! Lord Zuno is the greatest in the entire universe! His knowledge might even surpass that of your Shenron!"

Jaco said as he piloted the spaceship.

At that moment, Lin Chen and Tights were aboard Jaco's spaceship.

Their destination was a wondrous planet somewhere in the universe.

A remarkable person named Zuno lived on the planet.

According to Lin Chen's memories, Zuno was an extraordinary being who knew everything and was familiar with all things under the sun.

Lin Chen wanted to find Zuno because he hoped to learn how to travel to a parallel timeline.

So, after returning to Earth, Lin Chen had Tights get in touch with Jaco.

Although he had Instant Transmission, he didn't know where Zuno's planet was, so he had to let Jaco lead the way.

As for Tights, when she heard about Zuno, she wanted to go and see him for herself.

What could be more interesting than meeting an alien who knew everything?

Bulma had also clamored to come along, but Lin Chen knew what the girl really had in mind, so he turned her down outright.

Zuno's planet was quite far from Earth. They had already been flying for several hours, and little by little, they were starting to lose patience.

"Jaco, how much longer until we get there?" Tights asked, bored.

"About two more hours, I guess," Jaco estimated.

"What? Two hours? This spaceship is way too slow! Lin Chen's Instant Transmission is much more convenient..."

At Tights' words, Jaco grumbled, "Come on! The Galactic King gave me this spaceship as a reward for the Battle of Tiwei Planet! I risked my life to earn it, you know!"

"Oh? Tiwei Planet? Lin Chen told me about that... So, Jaco, you died back then? Hey, what's the afterlife like? Tell me!" Tights asked curiously.

"I don't know!" Jaco turned his head away.

Tights hurriedly grabbed his shoulder. "Huh? Don't be stingy! Tell me, please. I could use it in my new book."

Jaco asked in surprise, "New book? Didn't Galactic Patrolman Jaco finish already?"

"It did! The new book I'm serializing now is called My Saiyan Boyfriend. It's number one on the new-release bestseller list! It's doing much better than Galactic Patrolman Jaco."

"Hmph! Then I'm not telling you." Jaco turned away again in a huff.

While the two of them chatted like a comedy duo, they finally arrived at Zuno's planet.

Just like Zuno himself, his planet, Zuno Planet, was quite mysterious.

The planet was small, only a few times larger than King Kai's Planet. It looked like a giant wooden box wrapped around a planet.

Its surface was brightly colored, and the only thing on it was Zuno's palace.

Zuno's palace had a distinctly Japanese style, but there was a huge escalator in front of it, making the whole place feel especially strange.

The three of them took the escalator to the corridor in front of the palace, where they saw a long line already waiting.

As soon as the three of them had stopped, several aliens who looked like warriors came over, each holding a little notebook.

Seeing them, Tights asked, "Huh? These guys look strange. Which one of them is Zuno?"

"None of us are Zuno! We are Lord Zuno's attendants!"

The warrior-like aliens answered in unison.

Then they surrounded Lin Chen. "Lord Zuno said that uninvited guests were coming, so we came to investigate."

"Uninvited guests?" Tights asked, puzzled.

"That's right. Lord Zuno doesn't see anyone without an appointment," one of the attendants said.

"Huh? Jaco! Why didn't you tell us?" Tights snapped at Jaco. After flying for several hours only to find out they couldn't even meet him, anyone would be angry.

Jaco was dumbfounded, too. It was his first time on Zuno Planet, and he had never heard of this rule.

Just then, the attendant opened the little notebook in his hand and said, "If you make an appointment now, you can get a spot five years from now. So, would you like to make an appointment?"

"Five years?"

Jaco could only ask awkwardly, "Um... I'm a Galactic Patrolman. Could you make an exception?"

"No!" Zuno's attendant refused without hesitation.
