The Grand Priest and the Omni-King stepped onto the central viewing platform.
This platform stood two meters higher than the others.
It was a symbol of supremacy.
At its center stood a throne.
Only after the Omni-King seated himself did the gathered gods of the World of Void dare to straighten their backs.
The Grand Priest gestured for everyone to take their seats. No one dared disobey. The Gods of Destruction returned to their platforms, bringing along their Supreme Kais and their candidates.
When it was Quitela's turn to leave—
"Quitela. You don't think sending someone to ambush me just ends like that, do you?"
Gran's voice stopped him.
"Boy, don't think that just because Beerus backs you, you can behave so arrogantly!"
Quitela turned back, glaring viciously.
"You are not a God of Destruction. After this battle royale ends, even if I kill you, Lord Omni-King will not punish me!"
Ten years ago, the Omni-King had decreed that during this grand battle royale, no God of Destruction was permitted to participate in any form.
But once the battle ended, that restriction would be lifted.
As for Beerus's retaliation?
Without orders from the Omni-King or the Grand Priest, Gods of Destruction were forbidden from fighting each other. If Beerus tried to make a move, the Angels would stop him.
The moment Quitela declared he would kill Gran—
A cold gleam flashed through Beerus and Whis's eyes.
Champa and Vados, meanwhile, curled their lips in faint amusement.
"Lord Beerus, he's threatening Gran. Aren't you going to beat him to death?"
The Old Supreme Kai could no longer hold back. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to throw a punch at Quitela.
With Beerus present, he had completely forgotten how the word "death" was spelled.
Beside him, Shin's mouth fell open.
He suddenly realized—
His ancestor was outrageously brave.
He actually dared to punch a God of Destruction.
However
"Kill me?"
Gran pressed a hand down on the Old Supreme Kai's shoulder, stopping him before Quitela lost control and crushed the old man.
"That's exactly what I was going to say to you," Gran replied, his smile growing increasingly eerie. "I just hope you won't be scared to death by my power later."
Ten years ago, this rat had sent someone to ambush him.
That had already sealed their fate.
This would end in death.
But…
Right now, the Candidate Gods of Destruction Battle Royale was about to begin. It was a spectacle the Omni-King wished to watch. Gran wouldn't create unnecessary trouble.
After it ends…
Heh.
"You!"
Quitela clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white.
This damned Universe 7.
Why was every single one of them so infuriating?
"Fine. Then I'll see how strong you really are!"
Quitela turned and returned to Angel Cognac. He brought Light and Universe 4's Supreme Kai into their viewing platform.
Once seated, he immediately had Cognac heal his broken arm.
The other Gods of Destruction did the same.
Beerus and Champa had struck far too ruthlessly. Without Angelic healing magic, relying on their own regenerative abilities would take far too long.
Seeing their own Gods of Destruction in such miserable states—
The candidates finally realized just how terrifying Universe 7's God of Destruction truly was.
At the same time
Their wariness toward Gran deepened.
Peak Divine Dimension.
Third Stage bodily instinct.
And bold enough to openly provoke a God of Destruction.
He was undoubtedly a dangerous opponent.
"Let's go in as well."
Gran leapt into the viewing platform.
Beerus and Whis exchanged a glance but said nothing as they followed.
After Universe 7 had entered their platform
Champa scanned the surroundings.
Each universe had its own viewing platform. Universe 6's was directly opposite Universe 7's.
But Champa didn't want to go back.
He wanted to stay with his brother.
After all—
Having powerful backing felt incredible.
He needed to strengthen his bond with Beerus and Gran.
After glancing at the Omni-King and the Grand Priest, he gritted his teeth and jumped into Universe 7's platform.
From his throne, the Omni-King glanced toward Champa
Then casually looked away.
Seeing no reaction from the Omni-King, the Grand Priest allowed it.
"What are you doing here?"
Beerus frowned. "Have some manners. Aren't you afraid Lord Omni-King will punish you?"
"If he wants to punish me, we'll talk then."
Champa had been carefully watching the Omni-King's expression. Seeing no sign of displeasure, he quietly exhaled in relief.
"Gran," Champa said seriously, ignoring Beerus, "your overall power panel is already very strong. But you haven't fought in years."
"Quitela isn't like me. His martial arts surpass mine. If you face him, you're very likely to lose."
The Old Supreme Kai added, "That dead rat is extremely sinister. You openly provoked him. Be careful after this."
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Gran nodded calmly.
Everyone exchanged looks.
He had openly offended a God of Destruction.
Was he really not afraid?
At that moment
"According to the original schedule, this competition was meant to begin in one month."
The Grand Priest stepped forward from beside the throne, hands behind his back, facing the twelve viewing platforms.
"But since you have all arrived so early…"
He paused briefly.
His gaze brushed over Gran before shifting away.
"For this grand battle royale, Lord Omni-King has long awaited it."
"Therefore—"
"The battle begins now."
At the final words, the Grand Priest's voice deepened, vast and authoritative.
It was as if the voice of law itself reverberated.
The sound pierced beyond the World of Void.
The entire Omni-King's universe hummed faintly in response.
At the same time
Across the cosmos, lesser deities looked up in confusion.
They didn't understand what was happening.
But they could feel it.
Something monumental had begun.
On Earth's Heavenly Realm, Mr. Popo gazed at the sky.
"So… the grand battle finally begins."
On Earth, Bulma suddenly remembered something.
"Oh no! Lord Gran is supposed to participate in the Candidate God of Destruction Battle Royale around this time! Whis! There's delicious food here—come take me to watch the fun!"
But in the distant World of Void
Whis could not hear her.
Inside the Galactic Prison.
Merus looked toward the void and murmured,
"Gran's definitely going to have fun again. I'm jealous."
The Realm of Time
"Hm? Is Lord Omni-King playing hide-and-seek again?"
"Doesn't look like it. Seems like a competition."
"Wait—no!!!"
"That little guy looks interesting. I'm going to take a look too!"
The Realm of Dragons
"Hm? That voice belongs to the Grand Priest."
"He mentioned a grand battle… Could it be that Lord Omni-King is holding another God of Destruction battle royale?"
"It's being held in the World of Void? Then I'm going to watch as well."
