"What's going on? My body…"
Vegeta's expression suddenly froze.
After Ginyu's body glowed with an eerie golden light, Vegeta found himself unable to move.
Not only that, but his consciousness seemed to be pulled out by a powerful force.
"My consciousness… my consciousness is weakening."
Not far away, Goku and Piccolo also noticed Vegeta's abnormality.
"Vegeta?"
Watching the ki blast Ginyu released, Goku wanted to block it with an attack, but the beam was too fast, leaving no time to gather ki.
In the blink of an eye, Ginyu's ki blast struck Vegeta.
"Hahahahaha, Vegeta, you are mine."
Ginyu laughed maniacally, his soul instantly rushing into Vegeta's body.
After losing his soul, Ginyu's purple body stumbled and fell to the ground.
Ginyu, who had entered Vegeta's body, hadn't had time to do anything before he sensed that this exchange seemed different from previous ones.
"Hmm, where's Vegeta's soul?"
"Why didn't it fly into my body?"
It was an exchange, so it should be a mutual body swap!
"Heheheh~"
No matter the situation.
Vegeta, your body belongs to me.
A villainous laugh came from "Vegeta."
However, the next second.
Ginyu's soul, not yet fully stable in the body, lost perception of the outside world.
When he came to his senses, he found himself in a vast, pale, empty space.
In this space, two people faced each other from a distance.
Ginyu, and Vegeta.
They stared at each other.
"Why are you still in this body?" It was Ginyu who spoke.
"Ginyu, get out of my body!" It was Vegeta who spoke.
Neither of them paid attention to where they were at the moment.
Vegeta now understood Ginyu's objective.
Despicable and shameless, he planned to exchange his injured and ugly body for his noble Saiyan body.
Could Vegeta tolerate this?
Just as Vegeta was about to make a move,
"I didn't expect to meet you two in this way."
A young girl's voice suddenly echoed in the space.
"Who?!" Ginyu was startled.
Vegeta also heightened his vigilance, fearing another accident.
In the bright white space.
A faint, ethereal image began to solidify.
The girl walked slowly, her steps not fast, but with each step, her body became more solid.
A white hood obscured the girl's face, making it impossible to see her appearance.
She stopped when she reached a position relatively close to Vegeta and Ginyu.
The girl slowly put her hand on her hood.
With a gentle pull, the hood, which covered her hair and face, slipped down.
Snow-white long hair was revealed, cascading over her shoulders.
"Long time no see, Vegeta, and Ginyu."
"Be…Beryl?"
Vegeta's eyes widened, filled with complete disbelief.
"No, impossible!" Ginyu, beside him, was even more startled, retreating repeatedly, "You, you should be dead, I clearly confirmed multiple times that there was no life around that planet."
Anyone would be shocked when someone they thought was dead suddenly appeared alive and well before them.
"Dead? Indeed, today is the end of your Ginyu Force."
Beryl swept her gaze over, and Ginyu was instantly frozen, completely unable to move, his face still maintaining a surprised and comical expression.
After leaving Ginyu aside, Beryl turned her gaze to Vegeta.
"It's been many years, you don't seem to have made much progress, Vegeta," Beryl said calmly.
"You… what's your situation now?" Vegeta couldn't confirm if the girl in front of him, who looked exactly like his older sister back then, was truly his sister.
How did she appear, and where was this place?
Moreover, so many years had passed.
Beryl's current appearance was surprisingly similar to how she looked when he was 5 and she was 10.
No, it should be said exactly the same.
When he was 5, it was also when Planet Vegeta was destroyed.
It had been over 20 years since the Saiyan race was annihilated by Frieza.
He was now 25 or 26, so his sister should be around 30 at least.
And she was still in this loli form?
"Hey, Vegeta, your mental space tells me you're thinking something very disrespectful."
"No." Vegeta denied expressionlessly, "Compared to that, what's going on with you?"
"You're trying to change the subject, Vegeta."
Beryl didn't mind and thought for a moment before saying, "This place is your mental space. Do you still remember that crystal?"
"Ginyu's use of the Soul Exchange skill triggered the crystal's protection program."
"Crystal… you mean, that pendant?"
Vegeta instinctively touched his chest, but felt nothing.
"Idiot, here you are a spiritual body, so of course it's impossible to touch a pendant you wear like a physical body."
"Besides, I was only able to enter your mental space through that and help you resist the risk of your soul being exchanged by Ginyu."
"This…" Vegeta was a bit unclear, but he could basically understand that Ginyu wanted to exchange bodies with him, but was somehow stopped by his sister, Beryl.
And, both of them were brought into this space.
"Oh, don't think too much. With your current combat power, it's a bit difficult to fully understand these things."
Beryl reached out, wanting to pat Vegeta's shoulder in comfort.
But she found that with her ten-year-old height, it was a bit difficult to do so!
The spiritual body in the crystal was what she left for Vegeta before Planet Vegeta was destroyed, which was before she came to Universe 10.
In other words, it was left when she was 10 years old and had a combat power of 58,000.
Her appearance was also as it was back then.
Beryl had a special reason for leaving the crystal pendant for Vegeta.
If she accidentally got killed by Frieza, she would appear at the right time and remind Vegeta to go to Earth or Namek to find the Dragon Balls to revive her.
Despite all her calculations, Beryl never expected that Vegeta, even after her influence, would still be so useless.
He didn't even have the qualifications to fully charge the crystal.
There were two conditions for activating the crystal.
First, combat power exceeding 58,000, and second, the ki connecting the siblings.
When both conditions were met simultaneously, Beryl's spiritual body, dormant in the pendant, would be activated.
However, the ten-fold energy of Great Ape transformation, although exceeding 58,000 in combat power, contained traces of the ancient Saiyan bloodline, which would cause the special nature of the siblings' inherent blood connection to decrease, thus failing to meet the second condition.
This was also why Vegeta could not activate the crystal pendant after transforming into a Great Ape.
It wasn't until Vegeta entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber that he met the two conditions Beryl had set back then.
Beryl's spiritual body was activated, and she sensed it in the God of Destruction realm.
Beryl had no intention of meeting Vegeta, continuing to absorb the ki Vegeta was inputting into the crystal.
Because she found that the spiritual body she created had a subtle connection to her current soul.
Specifically, it was like remotely controlling a puppet.
The spiritual body, in essence, did not possess Destruction Energy and still bore a relatively strong imprint of the Universe 7.
In other words, a spiritual body without Destruction Energy would not be like her main body, which was like a light bulb, and would be detected by the angels as soon as it entered Universe 7.
However, this also had a drawback.
The spiritual body's mobility required Vegeta's ki to provide.
This was also why Ginyu's exchange failed.
Beryl used the connection between the spiritual body and Vegeta to pull Ginyu's soul into Vegeta's mental space.
In addition, Beryl used the connection between the spiritual body and her own soul to manipulate the laws and isolate Ginyu's soul exchange skill, preventing Vegeta's soul from being dragged out of his body by the exchange.
