"HAHAHA!!"
On Universe Seven's viewing platform, Beerus burst into loud laughter.
"Well? Didn't I say my candidate had far more power than that? Do you believe me now?"
"You even dared to target my Hit?"
Champa shouted toward Quitela, waving his arms excitedly.
"Let's see how your candidate dies now!"
"NO!!!"
On Universe Four's viewing platform, Quitela looked like a madman. He clutched his head tightly with both hands.
"He's only a God of Destruction candidate… How can he be this powerful?!"
If he were still in his prime condition, he would never feel such fear.
But because of Zeno's punishment, his power had fallen to the peak of the Sixth Stage.
Against Beerus's candidate, that level of strength was likely no longer enough to defeat him.
After all—
That was the Angels' Ultra Instinct!
"Lord Quitela, we still have Light! Light has revived!"
Universe Four's Supreme Kai Kuru suddenly shouted.
"Yes! Yes! We still have Light!"
"He's an undying creature. He cannot be killed—"
Quitela hurriedly climbed to his feet and looked toward the arena.
But the very next second—
He collapsed back onto the ground in despair.
Arena.
Hit was currently in a region covered with snowy peaks.
He cautiously moved toward Gran's direction.
He didn't dare get too far from Gran.
But he also didn't dare get too close.
Suddenly—
A voice appeared behind him.
"Damn it… damn it! If you had allied with me, you could have swept through all the God of Destruction candidates!"
"Why did you choose to ally with that trash instead?!"
"Who's there?!"
Hit spun around instantly.
When he saw the figure before him, his eyes widened in shock.
"Y-You… weren't you killed by Lord Gran?! How are you still alive?!"
"Dead?"
Light was in his demonic wolf form.
His four claws stepped through the snow. Each footprint he left behind was filled with black smoke.
From within that smoke came faint echoes of human screams of terror.
It was a scene of pure evil.
"I am an undying being."
"Even if that guy Gran dies, I still won't!"
Light stared at Hit, his voice hoarse and low.
"You're nothing but trash with Fourth-Stage power."
"What right do you have to form an alliance with Gran?"
"If I kill you… maybe he'll ally with me instead."
"…"
Hit said nothing.
But his entire body tensed.
"Time-Skip!"
In this situation, escape was his only option.
He instantly activated his technique.
The snowy battlefield seemed to freeze in time.
Hit quickly retreated.
"Where do you think you're going?"
CRACK!
Sixth-Stage power rippled through the Void.
Hit's Time-Skip dimension shattered instantly.
"Damn it!"
Cold sweat poured down Hit's face.
Right now, he was the weakest fighter in the arena.
His Time-Skip was completely ineffective.
"Time Cage!"
He used another technique on Light.
Earlier, he had used this move to stall Bellock.
Now he attempted the same tactic again.
However
Light's movements didn't slow down at all.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Hit.
"Stop struggling."
"Against absolute power, your little time tricks mean nothing."
"Just accept your death."
Light raised his claw—
Preparing to kill Hit.
And at that moment
A voice echoed across the World of Void.
"I already told you."
"My ally is not to be touched."
BOOM!!!
A vast silver aura swept across the entire arena.
The battlefield trembled violently, like a pot of boiling water.
A dazzling silver streak of light flashed across the arena at incredible speed—
Appearing behind Light in an instant.
"Who?!"
Light's wolf fur instantly stood on end.
He spun around—
Only to see Gran standing there.
"How are you this fast—"
Before he could finish speaking
Gran's Seventh-Stage initial power erupted.
BOOM!!!
Like a storm of silver needles raining from the sky.
The silver light surrounding Gran transformed into countless beams that pierced Light's body.
In an instant
Light was riddled with holes.
The next second—
His entire body exploded.
But Light was an undying creature.
As long as the fear within him was not completely destroyed.
He could revive endlessly.
Wisps of black smoke gathered in the snow.
Soon, the demonic wolf Light reformed once again in front of Gran.
"So your true strength has reached the Seventh Stage."
"No wonder you were so arrogant before."
"But…"
Light burst into wild laughter.
"HAHAHA!"
"I'm immortal!"
"No matter how powerful your raw strength is, it's useless against me!"
"I can revive endlessly—"
"But one day your stamina will run out."
"And when that happens… that will be your de—"
Before he could finish
Gran spoke calmly.
"What about the Rule of Destruction?"
"Rule of Destruction?"
Light froze.
In that instant, he remembered the level of destructive power wielded by the Gods of Destruction.
His entire body trembled.
"So… Destruction is your weakness."
Gran slowly raised his hand toward him.
Then he spoke cold words.
"Destruction."
BUZZ!!!
A deep purple light exploded from his palm.
It was a cosmic-level law of destruction, capable of erasing everything in existence.
At that moment
Light felt as if his very soul was trembling.
"NO!!!"
"STOP!!"
Light tried to run.
But before he could even turn his body—
The purple light engulfed him completely.
"AAAAAAHHHH!!!"
The agony of destruction tore through him.
The human fear energy inside him desperately resisted the Rule of Destruction.
But against Gran's power.
It was like a praying mantis trying to stop a cHarryot.
Utterly futile.
POP!
Light's body shattered into countless fragments of light—
Dispersing into nothingness.
The fear energy sustaining his existence was completely destroyed.
Everything happened so quickly that Hit hadn't even fully processed it
And Light had already vanished from the world.
"T-This…"
"Is this Lord Gran's power?"
Hit stared at Gran's back.
Gran's black hair had turned silver.
Silver energy swirled around his body, and combined with his dimensional pressure, he looked like an ancient god who had just awakened.
"So strong!!!"
"Lord Gran, you're incredible!!!"
For a moment—
Hit completely forgot his usual cold assassin demeanor.
He jumped excitedly like a child.
The contrast was so extreme that even Gran felt slightly speechless.
Gran glanced at him briefly before turning his gaze north.
"We've played enough."
"It's time to end this battle."
He lightly tapped the ground with his toe—
And leapt into the air.
Then.
As if breaking free from the arena's restriction against flight
He shot northward at terrifying speed.
BOOM!!!
Like a heavenly dragon soaring north, wherever Gran passed—
The arena collapsed.
The damage to the battlefield surged from 50% to 80%.
"What kind of monster is this?!"
"How did his power jump from the Sixth Stage to the Seventh Stage?!"
"We could barely withstand his peak Sixth-Stage power before!"
"Now he's even stronger—how can we possibly stop him?!"
"He's coming!!"
"Block him!!"
The remaining God of Destruction candidates knew they couldn't escape.
So they unleashed their strongest attacks toward Gran.
But none of their attacks even touched his clothes.
Gran had transformed into a silver dragon of light.
The dragon surged into the northern forest region of the arena.
BOOM!
The first victim—
Bellock.
His slime body exploded instantly.
Gran's Rule of Destruction immediately erased the remains.
Universe Three's Slime — Bellock: Eliminated.
Next.
Rosa, the Goddess of Love.
Her fate was no different.
Her massive body was crushed like it had been struck by a speeding train—
Then erased by Destruction.
Universe Two's Goddess of Love — Rosa: Eliminated.
At this moment.
Gran was like a god of slaughter, beginning a brutal massacre.
"P-Please… don't!!"
"Spare me!!!"
Universe Five's Mummy — Harry: Eliminated.
Universe Eight's Silver Fox — Joel: Eliminated.
…
Each time Gran destroyed another candidate—
The Gods of Destruction watching from the stands grew more silent.
No.
It wasn't silence.
It was despair.
If Gran had only used peak Sixth-Stage power, those candidates might still have had a slim chance.
They would only need to avoid his Rule of Destruction.
But now that Gran had unleashed his true strength—
The Gods of Destruction all knew the truth.
Those candidates never stood a chance.
Even if Quitela himself entered the arena.
He might not be able to defeat Gran.
Which meant—
Beerus's candidate was already approaching Beerus's own level.
Just what kind of monsters were this master and disciple?
