Boom!
Vast, overwhelming power caused the World of Void to tremble violently.
Below, every God of Destruction candidate felt as if an entire universe had been pressed down upon their bodies.
"Th-this… what kind of power is this?!"
Light struggled to lift his head, staring fixedly at Beerus.
"This is Seventh-Tier pure power… A God of Destruction has actually reached this level!"
The golden lion of Universe One clenched his teeth.
"That fat cat and that skinny cat are ridiculously arrogant… No wonder all the Gods of Destruction hate them."
The golden sea monster of Universe Twelve forced himself upright, barely able to stand.
The remaining candidates suffered in silence.
Under that pressure, they could barely even speak.
Even Jiren was no exception.
"Enough!"
Quitela and the other ten Gods of Destruction soared upward.
Ten against two.
Power. Authority. Laws. Dimensions.
Different forms of divine force collided violently in the void.
BOOM!
It was like a cosmic detonation.
Within the dazzling light, a storm of destruction erupted.
Below, every candidate's expression changed again.
They had once believed that because their strength was approaching that of a God of Destruction, they were nearly equals.
Damn it.
They had been utterly wrong.
The Gods of Destruction did not rely solely on pure power.
They wielded divine forces beyond comprehension.
"Run!!"
"If we're caught in that storm, we'll die for sure!"
"—"
The destructive tempest sweeping down from above threatened to engulf them.
One by one, the candidates turned to flee.
As for the Supreme Kais—
They were already pale with terror, nearly losing their souls.
Then
Hum.
Silver light erupted skyward.
The Angels had acted.
Each Angel raised a protective barrier, shielding their universe's candidate and Supreme Kai.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
The destructive storm slammed violently against the barriers, deafening impacts shaking the void.
"I… I was wrong. Lord Iwan has always been this terrifying?"
The golden lion of Universe One swallowed hard.
"I was too arrogant… To think I even dreamed of surpassing a God of Destruction… That was only a fraction of their true power!"
The golden sea monster of Universe Twelve felt his heart pounding wildly.
"Damn that rat… He's this strong? How am I supposed to shake him later?!"
Light, the ancient being of Universe Four, roared inwardly.
The battle above continued to intensify.
The Gods of Destruction were no longer holding back.
Boundless power pressed downward like collapsing heavens.
The phrase "black clouds press upon the city, threatening to crush it" had never felt so literal.
And yet
Not everyone could follow the battle.
Many candidates could not even tell who held the upper hand.
All they saw were blinding flashes of light and heard terrifying collisions echoing endlessly.
On Gran's side—
Whis had long since erected a barrier.
Both universes' Supreme Kais were safely protected.
"Gran," Whis said lightly, "what do you think of Lord Beerus and Lord Champa's strength?"
"So this… is their power."
For the first time, Gran no longer needed projected images from an Angel to follow such combat.
At his current martial level, he could perceive every movement clearly.
Pure. Natural. Absolute control.
That was the martial path of a God of Destruction.
In terms of raw power—
Champa had reached the peak of the Sixth Tier.
Beerus had reached the peak of the Seventh Tier.
This was the first time Gran had witnessed the brothers fighting seriously—
No.
Champa was certainly going all out.
But Beerus?
Definitely not.
If Beerus truly unleashed everything
The opposing Gods of Destruction would not survive intact.
"So," Whis asked gently, "if you fought Lord Champa now, do you still feel you'd have no chance?"
"As you said before, I haven't truly fought in centuries," Gran replied calmly.
"There would be a chance of victory… but not a large one."
Whis nodded.
There was no frustration in Gran's voice.
That was enough.
"Hit, what do you think of the Gods of Destruction's battle?" Vados asked, curious.
"..."
Hit kept his hands in his pockets.
His expression remained serious.
"Except for a few, I can't see the movements of most of the Gods of Destruction at all."
Vados's expression darkened instantly.
Fuwa covered his face.
This was painful to witness.
Meanwhile, Whis and the Old Supreme Kai struggled to suppress their laughter.
Having a candidate like Gran was truly satisfying.
Wherever he went, Universe Seven gained face.
As time passed, the fluctuations above grew increasingly violent.
Finally.
BOOM!
A chaotic explosion echoed throughout the World of Void.
At the center of the blast, immeasurable light blossomed.
The candidates could not even open their eyes.
When the light faded—
Jiren and the others slowly opened their eyes.
"Is it over?"
"Who won?"
"Was it Lord Liquiir?"
"Lord Quitela?"
"—"
Every candidate speculated anxiously.
But the Supreme Kais, who knew the truth, remained silent.
There had never been suspense.
Before this—
Beerus had already defeated multiple Gods of Destruction attacking him simultaneously. Twice.
"Interesting."
Beerus floated high above, amused.
"So you lot actually trained during these past few years."
His golden eyes glinted.
"Are you that desperate to beat me?"
After the battle
Beerus was calm, not even breathing heavily.
Beside him, however—
Champa was gasping for air, face bruised and swollen.
Across from them
Quitela and the others looked miserable.
None were uninjured.
Some had fractured ribs.
Others broken legs.
"You—"
Quitela stood opposite Beerus, clutching his broken arm.
"Don't get too smug. The main event of this gathering isn't us."
He sneered coldly.
"Let's see if your candidate can still walk out of here alive."
Belmod added mockingly,
"You're strong, that's undeniable. But whether your candidate can match that strength… we'll see."
Liquiir ground his teeth.
"Wouldn't it be embarrassing if your candidate dies first? That would tarnish your name, Beerus."
Beerus rolled his neck lazily.
"Oh?"
A grin spread across his face as he tilted his head slightly.
"Gran."
"Someone's threatening you."
