The voice from the other side of the Time Scroll fell silent for a long time.
Beerus and the others gathered around Chronoa, all wondering whether Gran would actually come here.
But Gran remained silent for a long while.
He still didn't say anything, as though he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
Just as Beerus was growing impatient and preparing to speak—
"I don't belong to Trunks's timeline. There's no need for me to meet them."
The moment those words were spoken, Beerus's eyes widened.
He had already prepared himself to meet Gran.
And now this brat actually didn't want to come and see him?!
"If you don't want to meet them, then forget it…"
Chronoa wasn't particularly surprised.
She knew Gran had been quite busy lately, so she was just about to cut off the connection.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Beerus shouted toward the Time Scroll.
"Either way, you're still Beerus's disciple, aren't you? I'm also Beerus! What's the big deal about coming here to meet me?"
"…"
The voice from Gran's side fell silent again.
He hadn't expected the Beerus from another timeline to react so strongly.
"Lord Beerus, why do you want to meet me?"
"Why else? Naturally, because I'm curious about you."
Beerus leaned closer to the Time Scroll.
"I've been wondering just what kind of person you are to make someone as lazy as me and Whis take you in as a disciple."
Whis: "…"
He suddenly felt personally attacked!
"Lord Beerus, I'm not from your timeline. If I travel through time, that would be considered manipulating time."
"Stop going on about manipulating time. As the God of Destruction candidate from another timeline, I don't believe you don't understand how this works. Besides, you're a Time Patrol officer. Even if you travel through time, it can't possibly be considered some great crime, right?"
"…"
The other side of the Time Scroll fell silent once again.
Beerus impatiently said, "I've already put it this way. Are you coming or not?"
"Sigh. Fine. I'll meet you once."
The voice on the other side of the Time Scroll immediately disappeared.
"Huh?"
Beerus froze for a moment.
Trunks was extremely excited.
He hurriedly shouted, "Lord Beerus! Lord Gran said he's willing to meet us!"
Only then did Beerus finally react.
His expression immediately became one of excitement.
Seeing this, Chronoa couldn't help covering her face.
That Gran fellow was actually coming all the way to the future timeline again!
He really was such a troublesome person!
Only the Old Supreme Kai remained confused.
However, after Whis explained the situation to him, the Old Supreme Kai's face also flushed with excitement.
Although Gran was the disciple of Beerus from another timeline, he was equally curious about this mysterious individual.
And so, everyone began waiting where they stood.
Before long—
A ripple in space-time appeared beside Chronoa.
"He's here!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the spatial disturbance grew increasingly intense.
Then, a rift suddenly tore open beside Chronoa.
A foot stepped out from within.
Everyone held their breath.
The atmosphere became incredibly tense.
Chronoa found their expressions somewhat amusing.
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were preparing to welcome the Omni-King himself.
Soon, the figure within the temporal rift completely emerged into everyone's sight.
Gran had a head of black hair with the distinctive appearance of a Saiyan.
He wore the clothing of a God of Destruction candidate, and the exposed muscles of his body were sharply defined.
His entire appearance exuded a rugged, masculine handsomeness.
"Trunks, is that Lord Gran?"
Bulma covered her little mouth in surprise.
"Yes!!"
Trunks nodded vigorously.
"He's… he's so handsome!"
Bulma's eyes immediately lit up.
Trunks covered his face with one hand.
He knew all too well that his mother was the type of woman who completely lost her ability to walk whenever she saw a handsome man.
However!
The reactions of Beerus and the others were completely different from those of Bulma and Trunks.
"Y-You… your… your dimension!!!"
Beerus stared fixedly at Gran.
The longer he looked, the more shocked he became.
"Peak Divine Realm!!!"
Whis was also swallowing repeatedly.
He looked as though he had just seen a ghost.
"My goodness! What kind of monster is this?"
The Old Supreme Kai clutched his head, his voice filled with utter disbelief.
"Not just that!!!"
Whis had always remained as calm as a mountain, no matter what happened before him.
But at this moment, his expression was filled with unprecedented shock.
"Lord Beerus, aside from his Peak Divine Realm, did you notice that something is also very strange about his body's instincts?"
Beerus's entire body trembled.
Could it be…
Could this brat's bodily instincts have also reached an astonishing level?
Beerus continued staring intently at Gran.
After a while, the words escaped his mouth.
"Fourth Stage Body Instinct… but Fourth Stage Body Instinct is a martial realm that belongs to true Gods of Destruction! How could a God of Destruction candidate possibly reach this level?!"
The Old Supreme Kai had originally only sensed that something was extremely unusual about Gran's dimension.
But after hearing Beerus's words, he immediately collapsed onto the grass.
"This is insane! I remember that even Lord Champa and the others only possess Fourth Stage Body Instinct!"
Whis's gaze remained fixed on Gran.
Gran had only revealed his Peak Divine Realm and Fourth Stage Body Instinct.
But his pure physical strength was concealed extremely well.
None of them could see through it at all!
This meant that Gran's control over his power had also reached the level of a true God of Destruction!
"Wait… his aura!!!"
Whis's heart trembled once again.
He had discovered yet another unbelievable martial realm within Gran.
At that moment—
"Lord Beerus!"
The Old Supreme Kai suddenly jumped to his feet.
He pointed at Gran with a trembling finger.
"Have you noticed that there's something strange about his aura too?"
"His aura?"
Beerus frowned.
He carefully sensed Gran's aura once again.
Gran's aura was unmistakably divine.
Even the aura he was revealing gave no indication of his true level of power.
But…
There was something ethereal about it!!!
This!!!
BOOM!
A massive storm erupted within Beerus's heart.
This was Ultra Instinct!!!
Gran couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth.
In the end, the problem was still that he hadn't cultivated his state of mind to the Third Layer.
If he had already cultivated his state of mind to the Third Layer—the level belonging to Angels—then, apart from Whis, neither Beerus nor the Old Supreme Kai would probably have been able to detect it.
