Super Ginyu

Everyone below watched in silence.

Jeice and the others did not dare interfere, much less attack An Xiu. All they could hope for now was that Ginyu would quickly defeat Vegeta; otherwise, they were likely doomed.

While everyone watched the battle, Son Goku, wearing Ginyu's body, finally arrived with Son Gohan and Krillin.

"Great, An Xiu, you really are here!"

Seeing An Xiu there, Son Goku and the other two seemed to find their backbone. They immediately relaxed and landed beside him.

Nail spoke up. "These are your friends from Earth, then?"

An Xiu nodded.

Son Goku and the others, meanwhile, stared at Nail with surprise and curiosity. This was their first time seeing a Namekian other than Piccolo.

Suddenly, Son Goku seemed to remember something and hurriedly pointed at Ginyu, who was fiercely battling Vegeta in the sky, as he explained:

"An Xiu, this is bad, I was—"

An Xiu expressionlessly raised a hand and cut him off.

"Kakarot, I already know that Ginyu swapped bodies with you. There's no need to explain."

After a brief pause, he turned toward the Grand Elder inside the house. "Grand Elder, could I trouble you once more to unlock the potential of these two friends of mine as well?"

This time, the Grand Elder did not hesitate at all.

"Let them come in."

After the Grand Elder unlocked Son Gohan and Krillin's potential, both of their battle powers soared dramatically.

Judging solely by the aura they gave off while not at full strength, Son Gohan now possessed battle power nearly enough to rival Frieza's first form. As for bald Krillin, his battle power had likewise surged to just over two hundred thousand.

"That's incredible!"

Son Goku was astonished by what he saw.

At the same time, he quickly realized why Vegeta's strength had risen to such a level in so short a time. He must have had his potential unlocked by this Namekian Grand Elder as well.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Namek.

Frieza sat in his stroller with a grave expression. Ever since the planet had suddenly gone dark earlier, several powerful auras far beyond his current strength had appeared one after another.

"Who could it be...?"

Frieza could not make sense of it.

Since when had so many powerful beings appeared in the universe without his knowledge?

Although he could not sense auras, before his Scouter exploded, it had already locked onto the locations of those auras. Not only were those powerful fighters gathered over there, but even the Ginyu Force, his most trusted subordinates, was there as well.

However, in the current situation, those few members of the Ginyu Force could not handle it. Clearly, he had to intervene personally.

With that thought, Frieza no longer hesitated and rushed over at top speed.

Before setting off, however, Frieza transformed into his final form as a precaution.

Elsewhere, above the battlefield, Ginyu was knocked from the sky by Vegeta's crushing blow and slammed brutally into the lake.

"Hmph, it's over. Your strength is nothing special."

Vegeta sneered and gathered an energy wave in one hand, firing it toward where Ginyu had fallen.

Boom!

After a violent explosion, a deep crater a hundred meters wide formed in the ground.

Before long, the lake water rushed back in and filled the crater.

Ginyu's aura vanished completely.

Jeice and the others broke out in cold sweat at the sight, unable to stop thoughts of retreat from rising in their minds.

Other than An Xiu and Son Goku, nearly everyone present, including Vegeta, believed it was all over.

Yet only a moment later—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The spot that had been filled by the lake water began to spin violently, forming a massive whirlpool.

An incomparably powerful aura, wrapped in golden waves of energy, slowly emerged from the center of the vortex.

It was Ginyu. He had actually mastered the Super Saiyan transformation!

This scene stunned everyone present except An Xiu and Son Goku, including Vegeta in midair.

"So this is a Super Saiyan... What an unbelievable power..."

Ginyu murmured softly. He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within his body, and his mood became incomparably delighted.

At the moment Vegeta had beaten him to the brink of death, his heart had been filled with unwillingness and fury.

That anger awakened the power hidden within him, allowing him to successfully transform into a Super Saiyan.

"Vegeta, I really have to thank you. You've let me completely master the power of this body."

Ginyu looked at Vegeta, his eyes full of mockery.

At those words, Vegeta's pupils trembled violently, as if he had suddenly awakened from a dream.

He could hardly believe his eyes.

Was this what the legend truly looked like...?

Super Saiyan...

He glanced at Son Goku below, who was in Ginyu's body.

How could this guy possibly be...?

He was merely a low-class warrior...

The unwillingness in Vegeta's heart reached its peak at that moment. He suddenly recalled what An Xiu had told him earlier.

Did An Xiu's casual tone and attitude also mean that he, too, could transform into a Super Saiyan?

"No, how could that be possible?!"

Vegeta roared and suddenly flared his energy, pushing his strength to its limit.

The next second, he lunged forward and threw a punch at Ginyu.

Smack!

Ginyu easily caught Vegeta's all-out strike.

"Too weak."

Ginyu mocked him as he squeezed down hard.

Crack!

Vegeta's hand shattered instantly. The intense pain nearly made him drop to his knees in midair.

Damn it...

Vegeta endured the agony and attacked with his remaining hand, only to suffer the same result.

Before he could think of how to escape, Ginyu raised his leg and drove his knee into him.

"Aagh!"

Vegeta's eyes rolled white, his back arching high from the blow. He let out a heart-wrenching scream, utterly unable to fight back.

The previously one-sided situation was instantly reversed. Seeing this, Jeice and the others were thrilled.

On An Xiu's side, aside from An Xiu himself, Son Goku and the others all glared at Ginyu through gritted teeth, wishing they could charge in themselves.

Although they had been hostile toward Vegeta before, at least at this moment, he was on their side.

"Make your move, An Xiu."

Son Goku looked over with a grave expression.

An Xiu nodded. As things stood, only he could step in and stop this.

However, he did not act immediately. He was waiting.

"He's here."

As An Xiu's words fell, everyone present immediately sensed a powerful and evil aura approaching.

Smack!

A small white figure suddenly appeared atop the Grand Elder's house.

An Xiu recognized him at a glance.

It was Frieza...
