Whis knew very well that this battle was unavoidable, so he followed them outside.
Seeing everyone leave the dining hall, little Broly grabbed a chicken drumstick and hurried after them.
There was a good show coming
even Bulma dragged her heavy gravity suit into the courtyard.
A group of people gathered there.
Gran, still wearing his bulky outfit, stood facing Beerus.
"Mr. Whis…"
Bulma bit her lower lip, struggling to support her body.
"Gran is wearing such a heavy suit—can he really fight Lord Beerus like that?"
Only after putting on the gravity suit herself did she realize that Gran's bulky outfit was actually a training tool.
"He definitely can't win," Whis replied with a light smile.
"Then why doesn't Gran take off the gravity suit?"
Bulma tugged at her own cumbersome clothes.
"You don't seriously think Gran could beat Lord Beerus just by taking it off, do you?"
"Ah?"
"Although I'm not certain how far Gran's strength has progressed over the past two years, there's no way he could defeat a true God of Destruction in such a short time."
Whis took out the Time Sandglass.
Hearing that Gran couldn't win no matter what, Bulma felt a little disappointed.
Gran was so handsome—how could he lose?!
"Take off your gravity suit," Beerus said suddenly, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes.
This time, Gran hadn't merely trained in the Destruction Rules
he had also worn gravity clothing while refining his power.
Beerus' expectations for him were quite high.
"Alright."
Gran glanced at Whis. Whis nodded.
Under Whis' magic, the gravity suit on Gran's body vanished instantly.
The moment it disappeared, a terrifying divine aura surged outward in all directions.
Beerus clenched his fist and turned to look at Whis, as if asking—
Did this brat break through again?
Whis didn't answer. He only narrowed his eyes.
The atmosphere in the courtyard became strangely tense.
"Come on."
Freed from the gravity suit, Gran felt incredibly light.
He crooked a finger at Beerus.
"You brat—your skin's itching, huh?!"
Beerus laughed in anger.
This kid was still as cheeky as ever.
Fine—just as you wish.
The two figures shot into the sky.
The battle was about to erupt, and the pressure in the air was terrifying.
"Candidate God of Destruction-sama, you can do it!" Bulma shouted loudly.
"Gran-bro, go!"
Little Broly also yelled at the top of his lungs.
Hearing even his own "food providers" cheering for Gran, Beerus felt a twinge of jealousy.
Why was no one cheering for him?
At that moment
Whis looked up at the sky and teased,
"Go on, Gran~ Best if you knock Lord Beerus flat."
"You all!!"
Beerus exploded in rage.
Not a single person was cheering for him?!
"Very well!"
Beerus suddenly locked his gaze onto Gran.
Gran's heart skipped a beat.
That look was terrifying.
I'm done for!
Suddenly
Beerus moved.
At the same instant, Whis—who stood in the courtyard
activated the Time Sandglass in his hand.
A streak of purple light tore through the sky as Beerus charged forward with a clenched fist.
"Brat—unleash all your power!"
"Let me warm up first!"
Gran retreated some distance, then transformed into a streak of white light and rushed toward Beerus.
He was planning to clash with Beerus using base form.
BOOM!
One purple, one white—
the two lights collided head-on.
RUMBLE!!
Centered on their impact, the once-calm sky fractured with countless cracks.
With a thunderous explosion, the entire firmament shattered like broken glass.
"So… so incredible!"
Bulma's mouth fell open.
She had seen these gods clash before—but every time, it still left her in shock.
"So close—his base-form power is just a hair away from reaching the First Tier of the Divine Realm!"
Whis' expression turned solemn.
Only after Gran released his power did Whis finally grasp how strong he had become.
In the past, Gran needed Ultra Instinct—his strongest state
to barely reach the First Tier of the Divine Realm.
But now…
Even in base form, he was already approaching that level.
BOOM!!
The sky thundered once more, accompanied by Beerus' excited laughter.
"Well done, brat!
After just two years of training in a gravity suit, your base form is already near the First Tier of the Divine Realm!
So Whis really wasn't lying to me
he truly prepared everything perfectly for you!"
"Hahaha! Lord Beerus, again!"
Gran was also surprised by his own strength.
For the past two years, he had focused entirely on cultivating the Destruction Rules
he hadn't paid much attention to his raw power.
"Then come!"
Purple and white light intertwined once more
From the heavens to the ground.
From the North Pole to the South Pole.
Continents shattered.
Magma erupted.
Oceans surged backward.
Earth looked like it was on the brink of doomsday.
"Refreshing—absolutely refreshing!"
Gran grew more exhilarated.
Dodging Beerus' punch, he countered instantly with a backfist—smooth, fluid, flawless!
Under the terrifying impact, a storm of destruction erupted.
Pitch-black clouds split apart as bolts of lightning tore down from the sky.
But unbeknownst to him
Beerus had already seen through Gran's move.
His other hand was waiting at his abdomen.
BANG!
He caught Gran's fist.
With a casual motion, Beerus redirected the force into the void, detonating space once again.
"Just as expected of you, Lord Beerus!"
Gran broke free and retreated dozens of meters, breathing lightly.
"Done warming up?"
Beerus hovered in midair, rolling his wrists.
"Go on—use your full power."
Gran possessing this level of strength in base form surprised him.
But what Beerus truly cared about was
How far could Gran go in his strongest state?
"Don't rush!"
Gran hadn't fought in far too long—his body felt rusty.
He wanted to warm up a little more.
Whoosh!
He suddenly vanished from sight.
"Too slow."
Beerus shook his head, twisting his body as his tail swung behind him.
Gran appeared right behind him
SMACK!
The tail struck like an iron whip, slamming into Gran's right shoulder.
With a cry of pain, Gran was sent crashing straight into the magma below.
"Gran!!"
Watching Whis' projected image, Bulma covered her mouth, her face filled with worry.
"No need to worry," Whis said calmly.
"Let alone magma—even a black hole wouldn't pose any threat to Gran."
Glancing at Earth's fragile structure, Whis wondered if he should reinforce the planet a bit.
"Hm?"
Whis suddenly noticed something
Gran, within the magma, seemed to be about to unleash his full power.
Wasn't he warming up?
He checked the Time Sandglass again.
Half the time had passed.
There was still one and a half minutes left.
And at that very moment
BOOM!!
A silver beam of light shot out from the magma.
Gran entered his strongest state.
Divine Dimension + Ultra Instinct!
