The moment Light was blown apart—
The World of Void fell into deathly silence once again.
Soon, voices erupted across the various viewing platforms:
"How… how is that possible?!"
"It hasn't even been that long—another candidate God of Destruction has already been eliminated?!"
"Weren't they just evenly matched a moment ago? How did that ancient creature suddenly get obliterated?"
"Just what kind of background does Universe Seven's candidate have? Peak Divine Dimension, peak Sixth-Tier power… Is that even something a mere candidate should possess?!"
"Forget candidate—even Beerus himself probably wasn't this terrifying back in his day! That guy is definitely abnormal!!!"
"..."
It was the Supreme Kais from the other universes speaking. They couldn't comprehend the finer details of the battle between Gran and Light at all.
But in the eyes of the Gods of Destruction.
They had finally realized the truth.
What appeared to be an evenly matched fight…
Was nothing more than Gran holding back.
Or rather—
Gran had simply been using Light as a sparring partner.
The gap between them was enormous.
And that gap wasn't merely one of power or dimension
It was the difference in martial mastery.
In truth, it made perfect sense.
Light had merely lived long enough.
During the years following his awakening, he had done nothing but feed on humanity's fear. He had never received guidance from a God of Destruction or an Angel. He didn't even know how to wield true Destruction energy.
Gran, on the other hand—
Had been taught by an Angel since childhood.
Every step of his martial path had been correct.
It could be said that among the twelve candidates standing on that arena
Gran was the only truly qualified candidate God of Destruction.
"Lord Quitela… we've been eliminated!"
The Supreme Kai of Universe Four, Kuru, shot to his feet in panic.
"Shut up!"
Quitela slammed him back into his seat.
Taking a deep breath, he ground his teeth.
"Beerus's candidate is too dangerous. If he's given time, he'll grow to Beerus's level—or perhaps even surpass him!"
"Then what do we do?"
"Beerus is bound by the order of the Grand Zeno. He cannot act against fellow Gods of Destruction. But his candidate isn't restricted by such rules."
Quitela's eyes grew cold.
"A person like that absolutely cannot be allowed to live."
"But… we've already been eliminated. There's no opportunity left!"
"Who said we've been eliminated?"
Quitela lowered his voice.
"Have you forgotten what Light truly is?"
Kuru froze.
Then he remembered.
Light fed on human fear.
As long as fear existed
His life would not cease.
"I understand now—Light isn't just an ancient being… he's also undead!"
Kuru's face flushed red with excitement.
"Keep your voice down!"
Quitela shot him a glare. Fortunately, Cognac had already concealed the sound around them.
"Light isn't dead."
Quitela's lips curled upward.
"And it's a good thing that Gran rejected his alliance earlier. Light will never stand on his side now."
"And you don't need to worry about Light's death."
"Unless it's Destruction at the level of divine rules, almost no other power can truly erase him."
Quitela stared at the arena, his smile growing increasingly unhinged.
"I'd wager most of these candidates have comprehended Destruction energy."
"But in just ten short years? There's no way they've cultivated it to the level of rule manifestation."
"In other words—"
"From the very beginning, Light has stood in an undefeated position."
"He has already won."
As Quitela finished speaking—
Kuru could no longer contain himself and began shouting excitedly.
The other Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais assumed he had lost his mind from shock.
On the other side.
"Ancestor-sama! The candidate from Universe Four has been killed!"
Shin exclaimed excitedly.
The Old Supreme Kai narrowed his eyes.
"I don't think it's that simple."
"Eh?"
Shin blinked in confusion.
Standing at the edge of the viewing platform, Beerus crossed his arms and spoke calmly:
"That wolf was clearly some kind of ancient being. Creatures like that are rarely killed by brute force alone—unless that force is overwhelming enough to shatter all laws with a single blow."
Shin's mouth fell open.
"Lord Beerus, are you saying Light's constitution is similar to Majin Buu's? That he'll revive?"
"No. Not even close."
Beerus shook his head.
"Eh?"
Shin froze again.
"Majin Buu's physique is nothing compared to Light's."
Champa chimed in from the side:
"From what you've told me before, that Majin Buu fellow can survive as long as even a single cell remains."
"But Gran just unleashed his full peak Sixth-Tier power. That ancient creature was erased down to the last cell—yet he may still survive."
Having stayed in Universe Seven these past few years, Champa now understood who Majin Buu was.
"That ancient creature is that outrageous?" Shin's eyes widened.
"Hmph. So what if he revives?"
Beerus let out a cold laugh.
"Without strength, revival means nothing."
"He still won't be able to do anything to Gran."
"Gran hasn't even used half of his true power yet."
"And don't forget—"
"He has mastered the Rules of Destruction."
"Destruction rules are the natural nemesis of creatures like that."
"There's nowhere for him to escape."
