It was now Age 759.
As the date of the Candidate God of Destruction War drew ever closer, the entire Zeno multiverse was engulfed in an atmosphere of extreme tension.
Several universes had begun summoning all of their candidate Gods of Destruction, planning to hold internal trials before the official war.
Whoever emerged victorious would represent their entire universe in the upcoming battle.
At the same time
The Kaiōshin Realm of Universe Seven.
Blue skies, white clouds, lush green grass—normally serene and picturesque.
Yet now, the clouds hung motionless, the grass no longer swayed with the breeze…
An oppressive stillness blanketed the entire realm.
Beneath a towering tree, an old man sat facing a tall, handsome Saiyan.
Nearby, Beerus stood with his voice deliberately lowered.
"Old man… it's been almost five years already. Is it still not done?"
Champa paced back and forth beside him, his expression brimming with anxiety.
The Candidate God of Destruction War was approaching fast, yet Gran's potential still hadn't been fully unlocked.
Worse—over these five years, Gran hadn't woken up even once.
It was maddening.
"Quiet! It's almost finished!"
The Old Kai flicked the adult magazine beside him away and raised both hands toward Gran.
Even tossing aside his treasured magazines—this alone showed he was finally getting serious.
Everyone exchanged glances and fell silent.
The final step of the Potential Unleashing Technique had begun.
The Old Kai closed his eyes.
Over the past five years, his divine power had already permeated every corner of Gran's body.
Now, he intended to go even deeper.
Within Gran, streams of potential flowed like creeks—
creeks converged into rivers,
rivers into torrents,
torrents into a vast sea…
The Old Kai's divine power surged along these veins of potential, plunging headlong into Gran's Sea of Potential.
And then
"This… this is impossible!!"
The instant his divine power entered that sea, the Old Kai's consciousness trembled violently.
For ordinary people, the Sea of Potential spanned merely a hundred meters.
Geniuses reached a thousand.
Peerless prodigies—ten thousand.
But
Gran's Sea of Potential had no visible boundary.
No end in sight.
Within it, the Old Kai felt like a grain of sand in the ocean,
a firefly drifting through a galaxy.
To put it bluntly—
Even the entire Zeno multiverse felt like mere dust before this Sea of Potential.
"T-This… this is Transcendent Potential!!!!!!"
The Old Kai's consciousness shook violently—
shock, joy, exhilaration intertwining beyond control.
These words had once been spoken by Whis.
Whis had told him this was his father's evaluation of Gran.
"Transcendent… potential?!"
"Hahahaha—so this is what transcendent potential truly means!"
This was the first time the Old Kai had ever felt the terror of those two words so vividly.
With this kind of potential, Gran might one day surpass—
He shuddered.
No.
Gran hadn't reached that stage yet. He couldn't afford to think too far ahead.
Excitement aside, the Old Kai quickly realized a cruel truth.
With Gran's potential at this level, he simply couldn't unlock it all.
What should he do?!
After a long moment—
"I've got it!"
The Old Kai let out a sigh.
With his aged body, fully unlocking Gran's potential was impossible.
All he could do… was settle for the next best thing.
Thus—
His consciousness withdrew rapidly from Gran's Sea of Potential.
Back to the River of Potential—still far too vast.
Then to the Stream of Potential—damn it, still overwhelming.
Finally, he stopped before a single tiny brook of potential.
Even then, his lips twitched slightly.
"…Then let's begin."
The Old Kai began guiding this small fraction of Gran's potential outward.
At that very moment
The outside world changed drastically.
Winds howled.
Heaven and earth darkened.
"Is it starting?!" Beerus exclaimed, excitement surging through him as he retreated several steps.
"With Gran around, it's getting harder and harder for me to even receive punishment from Lord Zeno!" Champa backed away as well, his face flushed crimson with excitement.
Whis and Vados said nothing.
They exchanged glances—and in each other's eyes, they saw pure anticipation.
Just how far… would this man go?
Crack—crackle!
Silver lightning wrapped around Gran's body as his long-suppressed power finally began to leak out.
The instant it did—
BOOM!
It was as if a thunderclap detonated directly within their souls.
"This power…" Beerus clenched his fists, his breathing growing ragged.
"So his base state has already reached God Realm—Fifth Tier!!"
Champa clutched his chest, trembling with excitement.
"My god! Is this kid even sane?! That's true God of Destruction–level power! How did he pull this off?!"
Even Whis tightened his grip on his staff, forcing himself to remain composed.
"Lord Beerus, he merely trained for an additional three hundred years inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber."
At those words, Vados suppressed her shock and spoke calmly:
"Back then, his base power hadn't even entered the God Realm.
Which means—in just over three hundred years, he shattered five major power bottlenecks."
"Sister, that's only Gran's base strength," Whis added, unable to hide his excitement any longer, his grin stretching uncontrollably.
"He can still layer it with Angel Ultra Instinct.
Once he enters his strongest state… whether he'll break into God Realm—Sixth Tier, even we can't say!"
"Whis… aren't you forgetting something?" Beerus growled.
"Gran's potential hasn't even been fully unlocked yet.
Once this old man's technique finishes—"
The implications were too terrifying for Beerus to finish aloud.
But every god present understood.
Once Gran's potential was completely unlocked…
Would his base state step directly into God Realm—Sixth Tier?!
And if he then stacked—
Divine Dimensional Power + Mysterious State + Ultra Instinct
Would that push him into—
God Realm—Seventh Tier?!
The gods stared at one another, breathing rapidly.
Even Whis and Vados, as Angels, found it impossible to remain calm before such speculation.
This was Beerus-tier power!
And Gran had been cultivating for how long?
Just a little over three hundred years!!
As time passed, the aura surrounding Gran grew increasingly terrifying.
"It's coming," someone whispered.
