"Bastard! Go to hell!" Recoome instantly flew into a rage.
Recoome roared, pulled back his fist, gathered all his strength into his mouth, and aimed it at Loren, who stood right in front of him.
"Recoome Eradication Cannon!"
An energy wave, thicker and more violent than the one that had previously blasted Vegeta, erupted from Recoome's mouth, carrying an aura of pure destruction.
At such close range, and with such terrifying power, it was enough to blast even a small satellite into cosmic dust.
However, facing this earth-shattering strike, Loren didn't even bother to dodge.
He simply raised one hand and casually swatted upward. The massive energy beam was deflected straight into the sky.
The compressed energy ball streaked across the horizon like a flare, finally exploding into a brilliant—yet silent—firework above the clouds.
Recoome's brain completely crashed.
"Blue Storm!"
A blue afterimage—moving at a speed beyond visual limits—appeared behind Loren.
It was Burter!
He pushed his so-called "fastest speed in the universe" to the extreme.
His fist, sharp enough to tear through the air, drove straight toward Loren's unguarded back.
"Go to hell!"
But Burter's punch hit nothing but air.
Loren was suddenly three meters to the side, yawning.
"Too slow."
Burter's proud speed looked like a child's slow-motion play in front of Loren.
"Crusher Ball!"
A red energy sphere whistled toward him from the opposite direction—Jeice's attack.
Their teamwork was flawless: speed and energy forming a pincer strike that would leave any ordinary opponent dead on the spot.
This time, Loren didn't dodge at all.
He let the energy ball hit him directly.
BOOM!
Flames engulfed him instantly.
"It worked!"
Joy flashed in Jeice's eyes.
But as the smoke slowly cleared, that joy froze.
Loren stood there, completely unharmed.
"Hmm… a little warm."
Silence.
Dead silence.
Recoome, Burter, and Jeice—the Ginyu Force elites who had terrorized countless planets—were completely dumbfounded.
Speed, useless.
Energy, useless.
Beside them, Vegeta—who had fallen into despair moments ago—now widened his eyes, even forgetting his severe injuries.
The sight of Loren shattered yet another layer of Vegeta's understanding of power.
"Alright, warm-up's over."
Loren finally looked at the three of them.
"I'm running out of patience. All of you, come at me at once. Saves me time."
"You… don't underestimate our Ginyu Force!"
Jeice and Burter exchanged a glance and unleashed their full power.
"Purple Comet Crash!"
The two streaked through the air as intertwining red and blue lights.
The combined attack formed a massive energy tornado that tore across the battlefield and slammed toward Loren with terrifying force.
This was their ultimate combination technique.
But facing this planet-shaking attack, Loren only sighed.
"Kaio-ken… times five."
BOOM!
A crimson aura—dense, violent, and overwhelming—erupted from Loren like a volcanic explosion.
"What?!"
Jeice and Burter, charging at full speed, felt that terrifying spike in power and were instantly horrified.
They tried to stop.
Tried to escape.
Too late.
Loren vanished.
A crimson streak tore straight into the swirling tornado.
Two faint impacts sounded.
A moment later, Loren reappeared exactly where he had been standing.
The crimson aura faded.
The energy tornado unraveled.
Jeice and Burter froze mid-air. A fist-shaped dent had appeared on each of their chests.
With terror plastered across their faces, they fell lifelessly to the ground.
Only Recoome remained, staring at his fallen teammates. His legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees.
He had been scared to death by Loren.
"M-monster… don't… don't kill me…"
"Tsk. Still used too much force."
"Didn't expect them to be this fragile."
Loren vanished and reappeared in front of Recoome. A fingertip beam pierced Recoome's forehead.
Recoome's eyes rolled back as his massive body slammed into the ground.
The entire battlefield fell into suffocating silence.
Vegeta, Krillin, and Gohan stood frozen. They stared blankly at the scene before them.
The three Ginyu Force elites—monsters who inspired despair—
Had been… casually erased.
After some time, a spherical spaceship descended nearby.
The hatch opened, and Goku stepped out in his orange gi.
"Krillin! Gohan!"
Goku sensed their familiar ki and smiled brightly.
"What… what's going on?"
"Goku!"
"Dad!"
Krillin and Gohan finally relaxed.
They excitedly told Goku everything that had happened—Loren's arrival, his overwhelming power, and the instant kills.
"That's great! With Mr. Loren here, gathering the Dragon Balls to revive everyone will be much easier!"
But off to the side—
The injured Saiyan Prince let out a dark, mocking laugh.
Vegeta pushed himself upright, leaning against a rock, breathing heavily.
He looked at Goku's naive optimism with pity.
"Hope?"
"Kakarot, you're still as ridiculously naive as ever."
"Loren… he's unbelievably strong."
"But you have no idea what level of terror is coming."
"Frieza…"
"His power level is five hundred thirty thousand."
"Five hundred thirty thousand!"
"Loren is strong. But that monster Frieza is even stronger."
