"Die!"
Ginyu controlled Goku's body and launched an attack at Goku.
However, Goku, controlling Ginyu's body, merely raised a hand to effortlessly intercept Ginyu's attack.
"How can this be?!"
After a quick bout, Ginyu realized he was completely outmatched by Goku, a look of complete bewilderment on his face.
He was supposed to have a power level of 198,000, while the opponent only had 120,000. How could this be happening?
Over on the side, Zarbon scanned Ginyu—who was inside Goku's body—with a new model Scouter, and a strange expression instantly appeared on his face.
"Captain Ginyu, your current body's power level is only 33,000, not 198,000."
"Huh???"
Ginyu was even more stunned.
As for this situation, only Goku knew what was going on.
Because his body's base power level was originally 33,000; the 198,000 was the amplified power level after using the Eight Gates.
Ginyu didn't know how to use the Eight Gates, so naturally, his power level remained at 33,000.
The amplification from Giant Magic required knowing how to cast Giant Magic.
The amplification from the Eight Gates required knowing how to unblock chakra points to open the Eight Gates.
Even for the Great Ape Transformation, because his body had undergone the Animagus magic ritual, he wouldn't transform just from looking at a full moon.
Instead, he needed to silently chant an incantation and use Animagus magic to transform.
As for the Golden Warrior state, it likewise required techniques learned from Bai Yuekui, guided by anger to initiate the transformation.
So even though Ginyu had taken over his body, without this knowledge and skill, he could still only unleash a power level of 33,000.
On the other hand, with Goku occupying Ginyu's body, he only needed to get slightly familiar with its Ki.
Whether it was the Eight Gates, Giant Magic, Medical Ninjutsu, or other techniques, he could execute them effortlessly, unleashing a power level far surpassing 120,000.
Even if one day he no longer possessed a Saiyan body and couldn't transform into a Great Ape or Golden Warrior form, he would still possess immense power.
This was the power of knowledge.
No wonder Grandpa Dumbledore always said that knowledge is power and that learning is important.
This body swap gave him quite a deep insight.
"Then I'll swap us back again!"
Realizing he couldn't unleash a power level of 198,000 with this body, Ginyu hardened his heart, reaching out to severely injure the body before activating his body swap ability once more.
However, this time, Goku was one step faster than him.
"Soul Emergence!"
Having had enough of the experience, Goku's Soul voluntarily left Ginyu's body and instantly returned to his own.
He then kicked Ginyu's Soul right out of his body.
"Ah!"
Ginyu's Soul let out a miserable shriek as it crashed into his original body like a meteor.
"My own body feels much more comfortable after all."
Limbering up his body, Goku nodded in satisfaction.
Although Ginyu's base power level was higher than his, it ultimately wasn't as compatible as his own body.
"It reached 198,000 again!"
Down below, Zarbon saw the power level reading for Goku spike on his Scouter and was completely stunned.
How could it be that Ginyu controlling the body only produced 33,000, while Goku controlling it yielded 198,000? It was his first time encountering such a situation.
"Interesting. Ginyu, you are no match for him. Step back!"
Frieza ordered Ginyu.
Since Ginyu had even used his innate ability and still couldn't defeat the opponent, there was no need for him to go send himself to his death.
After all, loyal and powerful subordinates like Ginyu were quite hard to come by.
Next, Lord Frieza himself would take action.
"Yes, Lord Frieza!"
Ginyu looked at Goku in horror and flew toward Frieza.
Evidently, the experience of having his Soul forcefully expelled from the body just now had terrified him.
He even felt that if the opponent's kick to his body had been any harder, his Soul might have been shattered directly.
Even now, he still felt a tearing pain in his Soul.
"The battle isn't over yet!"
However, right at that moment, Goku suddenly appeared behind Ginyu and kicked toward him.
He planned to knock out Ginyu, who had a power level of 120,000, first to prevent Vegeta and Raditz from being in danger when he fought Frieza later.
"How dare you!"
Seeing Goku continue his attack on Ginyu, Frieza's eyes immediately shot out two terrifying red energy beams.
Sensing the danger, Goku aborted his attack and dodged Frieza's strike.
"A mere power level of 198,000 is not enough to act arrogant in front of Lord Frieza.
Oh, perhaps you don't know yet, my power level is... 530,000!"
Frieza stood up from his egg-shaped hoverpod.
"530,000... Thank goodness, thank goodness! If it's only 530,000, we're guaranteed to win this time!"
Hearing the power level value declared by Frieza, Vegeta showed no fear; instead, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.
He had never been sure of Frieza's true strength. If Frieza's power level exceeded two million, then even if Kakarot transformed into a Great Ape, the outcome would be uncertain.
But a power level of 530,000 definitely couldn't beat Kakarot in his Great Ape form.
"It seems you aren't afraid. Do you think transforming into a Great Ape is enough to oppose me?"
Not seeing the fear he expected, a look of surprise washed over Frieza's face.
Even if that Goku turned into a Great Ape with a power level of 1,980,000, could Vegeta possibly be unaware of the Great Ape's weaknesses?
"Hmph, you still dare to attack!"
Discovering that Goku had appeared behind Ginyu once again to attack him, Frieza grew enraged.
The first time could be let slide, but attacking while ignoring his presence a second time was a direct provocation to Lord Frieza.
Thus, the tail behind his hips extended, rapidly lengthening as it stabbed straight toward Goku's chest.
Without transforming into a Great Ape, a guy with a power level of 198,000 would definitely be unable to block this strike.
"Giant's Fistbone!"
Seeing the tail lunging at him, Goku didn't stop his attack on Ginyu; he merely freed up one hand to grab at the incoming tail.
However, amplified by Giant Magic, that single hand of his instantly expanded a hundredfold, blotting out the sky.
What he was using right now was Partial Gigantification from Giant Magic. While the power boost wasn't as strong as Full Gigantification, temporarily boosting his power level by three to four times was no problem at all.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two loud booms echoed almost simultaneously.
One was the sound of Ginyu being kicked by Goku, crashing into a distant mountain.
The other was the sound of Frieza being grabbed by his tail by Goku, violently hoisted into the air, and slammed into the ground.
"P-P-Power level... 650,000!!!"
Over on the side, Zarbon, who had been keeping his Scouter on the entire time, was so terrified he was st-stuttering as he spoke.
Because in that instant when Goku erupted with power, his power level had reached a terrifying 680,000, surpassing Frieza's 530,000.
