Dragon Ball: I Became Cell in a Doomed Future
Chapter 94 94: Ginyu… or Fused Rosé Vegito?
Levos locked down Fused Rosé Vegito's entire body with both hands.
He deliberately restrained the man's head and brought it right up in front of Captain Ginyu.
This exchange would be experimental.
First, Levos wasn't sure if the fusion between Goku Black and Vegeta Black would dissolve under such conditions.
Second, there was no guarantee that Zamasu's soul could actually be swapped out by Ginyu's technique.
But if it could work, it would be a tremendous win for Earth's fighters.
Levos's plan was simple: if Ginyu could swap into Fused Rosé Vegito, then force another body swap with an ally, it could create a powerful teammate with a god-level body.
Excited beyond belief, Ginyu hopped up and down in Piccolo's hand.
"Hurry up," Levos urged flatly.
Even now, the fused Zamasu sealed inside Levos's tail was continuing to feed him divine energy.
Though he had gone all-out during the fight with Rosé Vegito, it was Zamasu's cursed immortality that posed the greater threat. Even now, that monster hadn't shown any signs of being absorbed.
If this went on, Levos might once again face the risk of exploding from energy overload.
Not to mention the Earth was nearing collapse.
Tectonic plates were shifting wildly. Lava spewed from land and sea. The air reeked of sulfur. Even if the planet didn't explode, the toxic gases alone would wipe out humanity.
"R-right away," Ginyu stammered, nodding.
His frog eyes flashed with a strange red gleam as he stared directly into Vegito's.
"Body… swap!" Ginyu's mechanical voice rang out.
A beam of orange light fired from the frog's mouth and surged straight into Fused Rosé Vegito's!
Levos narrowed his eyes, watching for any sign of change.
Moments passed.
"Huff… huff…" Fused Rosé Vegito's breathing grew ragged, like someone on the verge of death.
"Did it work?" Levos glanced nervously toward the frog in Piccolo's hand.
"Levos…" the frog croaked, "the swap failed."
"Is that so?" A flicker of disappointment passed through Levos's eyes. So be it. He'd just destroy Rosé Vegito outright.
But just then, the man in his grasp gasped out with difficulty, "Swap… successful. Levos, it's me. Captain Ginyu."
"What?!" Piccolo's brow twitched. Something was off.
"Did it succeed or not?!" Trunks blurted.
Now that Rosé Vegito had been defeated, the battlefield had finally calmed. The remaining warriors gathered around Levos.
Judging from the situation, it was obvious either the frog or the body was faking.
Zamasu, that slippery bastard, was now resorting to acting to survive.
A cold light gleamed in King Cold's eyes. "If we can't tell, then we kill them both."
"Huh?!" Both the frog and Rosé Vegito's eyes bulged in unison.
"Lord Cold! That's far too extreme!"
"Lord Cold, I want to live! Don't kill me, please!" they each pleaded desperately.
The others frowned slightly.
Bulma offered a suggestion. "Why not have him try using the body-swap skill again?"
"I can't," said the frog in Piccolo's hand. "That last swap failed. I can't use the ability again right away."
"I won't use it again," said Fused Rosé Vegito weakly. "This body's too perfect. Unless you find me something even better, I refuse."
Piccolo snorted coldly. "A so-called god willing to grovel just to stay alive. How noble."
"Levos, you gotta trust me," the frog protested. "Even though the last swap failed, I still drained part of his spirit. Once I recover, I'll definitely succeed next time!"
"You damn frog… how dare you impersonate me!" Rosé Vegito's glare could've killed.
"Says the guy putting on the real act," the frog snapped back.
Piccolo's taunt hadn't worked. But Levos didn't have time to listen to their nonsense.
He pressed two fingers to his forehead and searched for the nearest remaining life signs.
Fwoosh!
In the blink of an eye, he vanished then reappeared holding two people.
It was Mr. Satan and his daughter Videl.
Seeing the devastated battlefield and all the bizarre alien warriors, Mr. Satan trembled until snot dripped from his nose.
"Who are you freaks?! Don't you dare hurt my daughter!"
Videl, however, was unconscious. Her face was pale as snow, her breathing shallow. Her stomach had been pierced badly.
Levos set them gently down on the charred earth. "You two will do for the next body swap."
"Swap? What swap?!" Mr. Satan cried, startled. "And how do you know my martial arts name?!"
"Not important," Levos growled.
Mr. Satan collapsed on the ground, legs shaking.
Levos didn't care to explain. Time was tight. Too many enemies remained.
"Got it, Levos! I'll do it right now! Just let Trunks heal me first!" the frog croaked eagerly.
"I need healing too if I'm going to use the skill!" Rosé Vegito added quickly.
Trunks hesitated… then walked over to heal the frog only. He then moved to Videl's side and placed his hand on her.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing to my daughter?! She needs a doctor!" Mr. Satan screamed, trying to shove Trunks away.
"He's healing her," Levos said quietly.
Ignoring Mr. Satan's flailing, Levos lifted him by the collar and dropped him in front of the frog.
The frog gave Levos a conflicted look. "Levos, this old man's face really doesn't fit my aesthetic… I swear I can swap with Rosé Vegito next time! Please trust me!"
Levos had already made up his mind. "Fine."
Piccolo frowned, then gave a small nod.
Levos released his grip.
Mr. Satan scrambled to his daughter's side only to freeze.
Her cheeks were rosy. The bleeding had stopped.
Videl opened her eyes, blinking in disbelief.
"This is… what's going on? She was dying a second ago!" Mr. Satan's jaw dropped. "Is this… some kind of illusion?"
Trunks shook his head solemnly. "This place is too dangerous. I'll take you two somewhere safe."
Without waiting for an answer, he grabbed them both and vanished.
Staring at the frog in Piccolo's hand, Levos said calmly, "Captain Ginyu… begin."
