He looked just like a pet cat that couldn't bear to see its owner leave.
Beerus wailed, "I'm Beerus too, you know! That means I'm your master as well! So stay here! How am I supposed to live without you?!"
The Old Kai and Whis instantly covered their faces.
This bag of bones was seriously embarrassing.
Bulma and Trunks also exchanged a glance. They had never imagined that even a God of Destruction could have such a childish side.
"Good boy, Lord Beerus. Don't be naughty."
At that moment, Gran grabbed Beerus by the back of his collar and effortlessly lifted him off the ground with one hand.
Boom!
The sight was absolutely astonishing!
One had to remember that Beerus was the strongest God of Destruction, possessing Peak Seventh-Stage Pure Power.
Right now, he was clinging to Gran's leg. If Gran's strength were below the Seventh Stage, there was absolutely no way he could break free from Beerus's grip!
And yet Beerus was being lifted into the air so effortlessly by a single hand from Gran!
When the Old Kai and Whis witnessed this scene, their breathing immediately became rapid once again.
"G-Gran, you...!"
The Old Kai's mouth fell wide open.
Whis stared fixedly at Gran before slowly uttering, "You've reached an Angel-level of Ultra Instinct... and your current state isn't normal either!"
At first, Whis had only sensed that Gran had mastered Ultra Instinct. He had never realized just how far Gran's Ultra Instinct had developed.
And there was also something strange about Gran's current state!
At first glance, he didn't appear much different from his normal form. But upon closer inspection, the definition of his muscles and the sharp contours of his face had become much more pronounced.
"This is... the Mysterious State!!!"
The Old Kai finally realized it.
This was undoubtedly another version of himself's transformation that had been developed specifically for Gran.
Whis immediately understood as well. He carefully examined Gran.
"When you lifted Lord Beerus just now, you used a portion of your strength. Your Pure Power has reached the Initial Seventh Stage!"
"What?!!!"
Beerus was still dangling in midair in Gran's grasp. After hearing the conversation between the Old Kai and Whis, his entire body froze.
He thought about it carefully.
And they were right!
Just now, he had merely grabbed onto Gran's leg. He hadn't even used his full Peak Seventh-Stage power.
The main reason was that he was afraid he might accidentally crush Gran if he used too much strength.
He had never expected that Gran would simply lift him up with one hand!
"Your Pure Power has actually reached the Initial Seventh Stage!"
Beerus clenched his fists.
He was hanging in midair like a pet cat, his eyes filled with utter disbelief. Somehow, the sight made him look rather adorable.
"Yep."
Gran looked directly at Beerus and chuckled.
His current state was:
Ultra Instinct + Mysterious State + Divine Peak Dimension!
When Gran had fought Quitela back then, this was also the state he had initially used.
The moment Gran admitted it, the surroundings once again fell into a terrifying silence.
How could a mere Candidate Destroyer God possess Seventh-Stage Pure Power?
That was the thought running through Beerus, the Old Kai, and Whis's minds.
As for Trunks and Bulma, they had no idea what Seventh-Stage God Realm power actually meant. But seeing how shocked Beerus and the others were, it was obvious that this level of power had to be utterly outrageous.
Lord Gran was seriously terrifying!
"Gran~ Gran, don't go back! How am I supposed to live without you~?"
Now that Beerus knew the extent of Gran's power, his reaction became even more intense than before.
He broke free from Gran's grip and once again wrapped himself tightly around Gran's leg.
This time, Beerus directly unleashed his full Peak Seventh-Stage power.
No matter what, he absolutely couldn't let Gran leave!
"Gran, you can't leave~!"
At that moment, the Old Kai also rushed over and hugged Gran's other leg.
Just moments ago, he had thought Beerus's behavior was embarrassing.
But now, all he could think was:
What exactly was this thing called "embarrassment"?
Whis, meanwhile, remained standing where he was.
However, the look in his eyes suggested that even he was itching to join them.
"You guys really are..."
Gran was both amused and speechless.
He had never expected the Beerus and the others from this timeline to be so shameless.
"Whis, tell them to let go. I don't belong to this timeline."
Gran had no choice but to turn toward Whis. His tone was more serious than it had ever been.
Whis met Gran's gaze.
In the end, he sighed.
"Lord Beerus, Old Kai, Gran is right. He doesn't belong to our timeline. Let him go."
Hearing Whis's words, Beerus and the Old Kai could only release Gran's legs.
They stood up again, both lowering their heads with expressions of extreme disappointment.
Beerus and the Old Kai were both figures who held immense authority within Universe 7, so seeing them react like this created an almost comically adorable contrast.
"Since you haven't figured out how to deal with Zamasu yet, then wait until he makes his move before deciding what to do."
Gran glanced at everyone before finally looking toward Trunks.
"Lord Beerus, Trunks has quite good potential. If possible, give him some guidance. Perhaps one day, he will be able to help shoulder some of your troubles."
With that, Gran didn't hesitate any longer.
He immediately left this timeline.
Under the great tree, only Beerus, Whis, the Old Kai, Chronoa, and Bulma and Trunks remained.
A gentle breeze swept through the area, causing the leaves to rustle softly.
Everyone's minds continued to replay Gran's final words.
Beerus glanced at Trunks before turning toward Chronoa.
"What exactly did Gran mean by that?"
"Uh..."
Chronoa rubbed her forehead.
That Gran guy was seriously infuriating!
He had actually gone and altered Trunks's fate right before leaving.
"Why are you all looking at me? Even if I know, I can't tell you!"
Chronoa naturally knew what Trunks's fate was in this timeline.
Without Gran's intervention, the only humans left in this timeline would eventually be Trunks and Mai.
The fate of those two was truly far too tragic.
Perhaps that was precisely why Gran had wanted to change Trunks's destiny.
"Hmph. After all these years, you still can't tell us anything!"
Beerus curled his lips.
Still, he understood that the Supreme Kai of Time truly had many things she was forbidden from revealing.
The amount of information Gran had given them was already a serious violation of the rules!
"Since you can't tell us about those matters, can you at least tell us about Gran's true strength?"
It was Whis who asked this question.
His brows remained deeply furrowed.
