Once, Belmod had told Beerus that his universe possessed someone whose strength surpassed even that of a God of Destruction.
Back then, however, Beerus had remained utterly calm.
There had not been a trace of fear in his eyes.
As if..
His candidate would unquestionably emerge victorious from the grand melee.
"You've hidden him for so long. I'd like to see just how strong your candidate really is!"
All the Gods of Destruction raised their heads.
At that moment, it wasn't only them.
Even the Angels standing behind them were curious about Beerus's candidate.
After all
This was the candidate of the strongest God of Destruction.
The situation he would soon face would mirror Beerus's own.
In the upcoming battle royale among candidates, he would be surrounded and attacked by everyone.
So then
Would Universe Seven's candidate be as terrifying as Beerus himself?
Just like the Gods of Destruction, all the Angels lifted their gaze.
Gran stood beside Whis.
After Whis withdrew the transport cube, Gran was fully exposed to everyone's sight.
And the moment they saw him—
Shock rippled outward.
"What?!!!"
"Th-this… how is this possible?!"
Through the Gods of Destruction's perception—
They could see it clearly.
Gran's dimensional level had reached the Peak Divine Dimension.
"That's impossible! His age rings show he's only a few hundred years old! How could he possibly possess Peak Divine Dimension?!"
Quitela the mouse trembled in disbelief.
"Have we all gone mad?! Among the twelve of us, only Beerus has reached Peak Divine Dimension! How did he do it?!"
Belmod the clown shook violently.
"This is Peak Divine Dimension! Even if I lived for hundreds of millions of years, I still wouldn't reach that level!"
Liquiir the fox felt his heart quake.
The Gods of Destruction standing beside Quitela looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Shock. Disbelief. Dread.
The Supreme Kais who had come to spectate were no different.
Peak Divine Dimension.
Among all twelve universes
Only Beerus had ever reached it.
He had been the sole one.
And now
There was another.
And that person was Beerus's own candidate.
"Sister!"
"Sister!"
"—"
The shock wasn't limited to Gods and Kais.
Even the Angels turned toward Kusu.
Awamo of Universe One asked in disbelief,
"Sister, what exactly is going on?"
Sour of Universe Two looked grave.
"This child is abnormal. How can someone so young reach such a level of divinity?"
Camparri of Universe Three swallowed hard.
"This isn't just ordinary divinity. This is Peak Divine Dimension. One more breakthrough… and he would step into Angel level."
Cognac of Universe Four's voice trembled.
"In other words… aside from Beerus, even his candidate has the qualifications to step into the Angel realm?"
All the Angels pressed Kusu for answers.
Back when Whis and Vados had clashed, Kusu had been present.
She had clearly known about Universe Seven's candidate.
Yet after returning from the World of Void—
She had said nothing.
"Sister, say something!"
The Angels were growing anxious.
"Oh ho ho~"
The loli Kusu covered her mouth and laughed in the same refined tone as Whis.
"Who says there aren't younger gods? Aren't Supreme Kais born as gods?"
"That's not the same! Innate divinity and cultivated divinity can't be compared!"
Marcarita stamped her foot.
Just what was their elder sister doing?
She clearly knew what they wanted to ask.
So why refuse to answer?
"Enough. I'll explain later."
Kusu swept her gaze around.
During the earlier battle between the Gods of Destruction, everyone had gathered together under protective barriers.
There were too many ears present.
The other Angels immediately understood
Beerus's candidate clearly carried a secret.
With so many watching, they could only suppress their curiosity.
Above—
As Gran's true presence was revealed, Belmod and the others remained in stunned silence.
"Beerus! What have you done?! How did your candidate reach such a level?!"
Quitela roared hysterically.
It was one thing for him to be inferior to Beerus in dimensional level.
But now
He was inferior even to Beerus's candidate.
"Did you recruit him a hundred million years ago?!"
Belmod was already speaking nonsense.
He could clearly see Gran's age rings—
Yet he still couldn't accept reality.
"HAHAHAHA!"
Beerus burst into loud laughter.
He didn't answer a single one of them.
Instead, he shouted,
"Gran! Someone was threatening you just now. Aren't you coming down to see who it was?"
As his voice fell—
Gran descended slowly.
Whis and Vados followed closely behind.
The moment Gran appeared beside Beerus
Liquiir and the others held their breath.
They couldn't see through him.
Not at all.
Which meant
Gran's control over his power had already reached God of Destruction level.
And this was a candidate whose dimension stood at Peak Divine.
Damn that Beerus.
Where did he find such a monster?
"Threatening me?"
Gran stood calmly beside Beerus, sweeping his gaze across the Gods of Destruction from the other universes.
To be honest
This was the first time he had ever seen Gods of Destruction beyond Beerus and Champa.
Quitela the mouse.
Liquiir the fox.
Belmod the clown.
Helles the sorceress…
How should he put it?
They were—
A little too weak.
"You're Quitela, aren't you?"
Gran's eyes settled on the mouse.
In the manga, that mouse had once been able to arm-wrestle Beerus.
He had even beaten him once.
Yet when eleven Gods of Destruction had attacked Beerus together—
He still couldn't defeat him.
"Quitela?"
Quitela suppressed the shock in his heart and spoke coldly.
"You dare address a God of Destruction by name without showing respect? Is this how Beerus taught you?"
"You think you deserve it?"
Gran's voice was calm—but dripping with contempt.
"You're a defeated subordinate of Lord Beerus. What right do you have to demand courtesy from me?"
"You!"
Veins bulged across Quitela's forehead.
If Beerus hadn't been standing right there—
He would have killed Gran on the spot.
Gran stepped forward.
His gaze was cold, disdainful—as if looking down upon lesser beings.
"Ten years ago, during the Omni-King's gathering of the Gods of Destruction…"
"It was you who sent someone to ambush me, wasn't it?"
