As Piccolo was feeling delighted by the sudden surge of power he had obtained, others on the planet also noticed in surprise the sudden appearance of a new powerful expert.
Because the aura changes after a Namekian fusion, even Gohan, who was closest to Piccolo, did not recognize that the powerful aura belonged to Piccolo at first.
Only Lin Chen, who has the power of the system, could see that the powerful aura that had suddenly appeared belonged to Piccolo.
Upon sensing the sudden change in Piccolo’s aura, Lin Chen easily guessed the reason.
Because, apart from sensing that a powerful aura had suddenly appeared, a prompt also appeared in Lin Chen’s mind.
“Ding! History has been revised. Piccolo’s first fusion event has occurred. Congratulation host for obtaining 1 Time Point!”
In the original work, after Piccolo arrived on Planet Namek, he met the dying Namekian Nail by chance and fused with him, thereby obtaining the power rivaling Frieza’s first transformation.
Now, almost all the Namekians on Planet Namek have left, and Nail has long since died. So, the only one who can fuse with Piccolo is the former Great Elder, Slug!
“Piccolo, Power Level: 21 million!”
Seeing the value given by the system, Lin Chen couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. He never thought Slug would do something like this!
Just then, crimson Death Beams streaked through the sky and appeared in front of Lin Chen.
These beams did not arrive at the same time, but at different periods.
However, subtly, they completely blocked all the various possibilities of Lin Chen’s escape.
But just as this attack, which was like an inescapable net, was about to hit Lin Chen, something inexplicable happened. Each and every attack was completely dodged by Lin Chen with almost impossible agility.
“Damn it! Why couldn’t I hit you? What did you do?”
Ginyu roared before turning into a beam of light and rushed towards Lin Chen.
Because he was so fast, he even left a trail of afterimages in the air.
But just before Ginyu’s fist was about to hit Lin Chen, his body moved like a ghost and punched Ginyu’s face.
Ginyu’s eyes widened as he was stunned for a moment before relentlessly continuing his close-combat fight with Lin Chen.
Their fists clashed like bolts of lightning, swiftly recoiling from the impact.
Their assaults generated massive shockwaves in circular patterns, blasting in all directions and leaving total destruction in their surroundings.
Crack!
After another shockwave, Ginyu was sent flying backwards, resembling a falling meteor as he crashed into the sea.
Boom!
The impact of Ginyu’s fall caused a nearly dozens of kilometers long waterless zone on the sea to form.
“Why? My Power Level is obviously greater than yours, and I’m faster too! Why am I the one getting beaten up?” Ginyu stood up, touched the blood on the corners of his mouth and gritted his teeth. His expression showed a mix of confusion and unwillingness.
“The rhythm of the battle was clearly under my control… Wait a minute… Could it be?”
Ginyu suddenly looked up, recalling the strange feeling that appeared during the battle just now, and his eyes widened.
“Time! Could it be that you can stop time?”
Skills related to controlling time were not unfamiliar to Ginyu.
After all, there was an expert who could toy with time named Guldo in Ginyu Force back then.
Although that guy’s real strength was nothing to boast about, he could stop time for several minutes.
As the captain of the Special Squadron at that time, Ginyu had naturally trained with Guldo.
During the battle with Lin Chen just now, Ginyu had a strange feeling several times. After pondering over it, he was surprised to find that the feeling was extremely similar to the feeling when Guldo used Time Freeze!
“It has been discovered?”
Lin Chen coldly smiled.
Indeed, he had used a trick similar to Time Freeze just now. But what he used was the even more powerful Time-Skip skill!
Seeing Lin Chen admitting it so frankly, Ginyu licked his lips and said, “You, you really deserve to be someone who once killed Frieza! Besides Saiyan’s abilities, I never expected you to have this kind of skill! If it weren’t for me, you would have been the strongest in the universe!”
Lin Chen couldn’t help but find it funny, “Hmm? Are you saying that you are currently the strongest?”
“That’s right.”
Ginyu’s face revealed a sneer, “Even if you can stop time, it’s useless! Because in the face of absolute strength, these are just small tricks! Do you understand what I mean?”
“Hmm? Are you still hiding something?”
“Congratulations, you guessed it right! But unfortunately, your reward will be death!”
Ginyu laughed, his purple lips curling up into a smile, and his face was full of smiles: “Look at this! Due to my talent, after training, the true potential of this body has been unleashed! Even the Frieza of old would have to admit defeat in front of me!”
After speaking, Ginyu suddenly spread out his arms and with a painful roar, his body suddenly expanded like a balloon being filled with air.
As his muscles kept expanding, Ginyu’s outside appearance changed greatly. In just one or two seconds, a huge monster over three meters tall appeared in front of Lin Chen.
Although he had not seen Cooler’s fourth transformation in this world, Ginyu’s appearance now was extremely similar to the fourth transformation of Cooler in his memory.
He has four white horns on his head, and a sharp tip appeared on his tail.
“I never thought you would learn the fourth transformation like Cooler.”
Lin Chen looked at Ginyu, whose Power Level had reached 440 million, and smiled slightly.
Who could have thought that Ginyu, who was almost equivalent to a comedic character in the original work, would have such development in this world?
Not only did he seize the body of Frieza’s father, King Cold, but he also fully developed all the potential of this body!
Based on what Lin Chen has seen in this world, the current strength of King Cold has already surpassed the level of the Perfect Cell that he saw in the year 228th world!
However, even Lin Chen couldn’t have expected that his transformation was not over yet!
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Ginyu sneered.
“Heh! You say I’m like Cooler? Those foolish Frost Demons! How can they compare to me, Ginyu?”
“Their race clearly has immense potential! But these idiots didn’t know how to tap into it and they thought they were the strongest beings in the universe! Those idiots, how can they compare to me, Ginyu?”
“AAAAAH!”
Boom!
Rumble!
Ginyu yelled again, and at the same time, tremendous energy surrounded his entire body.
Rumble!
Suddenly, electric arcs resembling those that appear during a Super Saiyan 2 transformation burst out in the air, flashing around Ginyu in a strange manner.
Seeing that Ginyu’s aura had once again gotten stronger, Lin Chen frowned deeply.
Could it be that Ginyu has a fifth transformation?
[Author’s note]: Did anyone expect Ginyu to have a fifth transformation? This inspiration came from the comic, Dragon Ball Multiverse.
