"So you're the Gran I've been hearing about!!"
Beerus rushed over and grabbed Gran firmly by both shoulders.
The way he looked at Gran was as though he had just discovered a priceless treasure.
"No wonder the me from another timeline took you in as his disciple! So you actually possess this level of talent!"
"Lord Beerus, calm down."
Gran smiled bitterly.
He had known this would happen the moment he came here.
"Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down?"
Beerus began shaking Gran vigorously.
"Judging by your age, you can't be more than a few hundred years old at most—including the time you've spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber—but you already possess power on the level of a true God of Destruction! If the other Gods of Destruction saw this, they'd probably go insane!"
This scene unfolded right before Trunks and Bulma.
Their mouths were both hanging wide open.
Even a true God of Destruction held Lord Gran in such high regard!
Lord Gran really was incredible!
Meanwhile, Chronoa covered her mouth and secretly giggled.
Everything these people had seen was merely the martial power Gran couldn't conceal.
If they knew his true strength, they would probably want to keep Gran trapped in this timeline forever.
"Young man, you're quite sturdy! No wonder you possess such terrifying talent!"
The Old Supreme Kai also rushed over to Gran's side.
He kept running his hands over Gran's body, occasionally licking his lips.
Gran: "…"
Could this old man be any creepier?
Beneath a large tree in the Supreme Kai Realm.
A tea table had been set up there, and everyone was seated around it.
They drank tea and chatted, but their eyes never left Gran.
Especially Whis.
He couldn't shake the feeling that he had overlooked something.
Could this Gran fellow possibly…
"Gran, how did the other me take you in as his disciple?" Beerus asked.
"Lord Beerus, it happened like this."
Gran didn't hide anything.
He explained how Vegeta had abandoned him and how he had used food to lure Whis into saving him.
CRACK!
The cup in Beerus's hand suddenly shattered.
A furious look appeared in his eyes.
He looked as though he had just learned that his own disciple had been mistreated.
Only then did Bulma and Trunks finally understand.
So that was the truth behind Gran's identity and origins.
There was little doubt that the Gran from their timeline had died in the same way.
Trunks clenched his fists.
"Mom, Dad… he…"
Bulma shook her head.
"Your father is already dead. There's no point talking about it now."
"Hmph! That damn Vegeta! He actually caused the Gran of this timeline to die!"
Beerus gritted his teeth.
"If that bastard were still alive, I'd destroy him ten thousand times over!"
Bulma and Trunks both trembled violently.
Judging from their expressions, it was as if they were silently saying:
Thank goodness Vegeta died early.
Otherwise, he would have been destroyed ten thousand times!
"So, Gran, you were the one who told this kid to use food to lure Whis too?"
Beerus quickly composed himself and glanced at Trunks.
Trunks lowered his head guiltily.
The idea of using food to lure Whis hadn't actually come from Gran.
It had been taught to him by his other "mother."
Gran's lips curled into a faint smile.
He had also seen right through Trunks's intentions.
He hadn't expected this kid to actually dare to use his name like this.
However…
"Yes."
Gran didn't expose Trunks.
For the sake of his "cat servant," Bulma, he could give Trunks a few special privileges.
???
Trunks suddenly raised his head.
His face was filled with disbelief.
"All right."
Beerus had no idea what was going through Trunks's mind.
He began counting on his fingers.
"From what I've heard from Trunks and from what I can personally see, you seem to possess Destruction Energy, Time Power, Ultra Instinct…"
Every time Beerus mentioned another power, Gran nodded.
These were all abilities he couldn't conceal anyway, so there was no point denying them.
The Old Supreme Kai listened the entire time.
The more he heard, the more shocked he became.
Are these really the powers a God of Destruction candidate should possess?
"Then you should also know Ultra Ego."
Beerus grinned proudly.
"If you possess Ultra Ego and Ultra Instinct, then throughout the entire Omni-King's Universe, aside from me, there's now another person who possesses both!"
Beerus sat beside Gran and repeatedly slapped him on the shoulder with his palm.
BANG!
BANG!
…
The immense force behind Beerus's slaps caused endless violent winds to sweep across the Supreme Kai Realm.
However!
Beerus's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He exchanged a glance with Whis.
Both of them saw the shock in the other's eyes.
Just moments ago, Beerus had used Fourth Stage Divine Realm power while patting Gran on the shoulder.
Gran hadn't even reacted.
Then Beerus increased his power to the Fifth Stage!
Yet Gran remained completely unharmed!
Could a God of Destruction candidate really withstand this?
"Lord Beerus, you can stop testing me now."
Gran calmly lifted his teacup and took a light sip.
"Just how powerful are you?"
Beerus stopped testing him and asked directly.
"Let's just say I'm not weak."
Gran smiled without answering.
He had known from the moment he came here that this Beerus would inevitably ask about his strength.
Beerus: "…"
Everyone else also fell silent.
At first, they had been incredibly curious about Gran.
That was why they had gone to such lengths to meet him.
But seeing him in person had only made Gran even more mysterious.
"How did you do that? That was Fifth Stage Divine Realm power!"
Beerus asked seriously.
Gran naturally understood what Beerus was asking.
He thought for a moment before smiling.
"Perhaps it's just talent."
Talent?
Throughout the entire Omni-King's Universe, there were countless people with extraordinary talent.
The Gods of Destruction in particular were all geniuses who stood out among tens of thousands.
Yet even those geniuses couldn't compare to the Gran standing before them.
Silence once again descended upon the tea table.
Beerus and the others were all secretly wondering just how powerful Gran truly was.
Meanwhile, Chronoa sat to the side, curious to see whether Beerus and the others could uncover Gran's true depth.
"Enough about me. Tell me about your timeline."
Gran wasn't in a hurry to leave.
"You mean Zamasu?"
"Yes."
Gran put down his teacup and narrowed his eyes.
"Just two days ago, I destroyed the Zamasu from my timeline."
"Hm?"
Beerus froze.
"Wait a second. According to what Trunks said, the time for that guy to carry out the Zero Mortals Plan hasn't even arrived yet. You just went ahead and destroyed him?"
"What else was I supposed to do?"
Gran's voice turned cold.
"That guy came to my Seventh Universe and even showed murderous intent toward the Old Supreme Kai. If I had still kept him alive after that, wouldn't that make me an idiot?"
"What?!"
The moment Gran finished speaking, the Old Supreme Kai and Beerus immediately stood up.
The Old Supreme Kai in particular was stunned.
He had never expected that the version of himself from another timeline had actually faced such a threat.
"Young man, well done! Trash like that deserves to be destroyed!"
The Old Supreme Kai repeatedly waved his fists.
He looked like a child who had just found out that an adult had his back.
"And Rumsshi and Gowasu didn't come looking for trouble with you?"
Beerus frowned.
At that moment, Whis tapped his finger lightly against the table.
"Lord Beerus, Gran is merely a God of Destruction candidate. Let alone the fact that he only killed a mere Supreme Kai candidate—even if he were to kill a true Supreme Kai, he still wouldn't be violating Lord Zeno's orders."
"Huh?"
Beerus's mouth fell open.
He carefully thought about Zeno's rules.
And when he did…
It seemed Whis was actually right.
