Since Beerus had already said so, Gran had no choice but to step into the Teleportation Cube.
The Old Supreme Kai and the others followed closely behind.
Once everyone had entered, Beerus activated the cube.
With a sharp whoosh, the transportation cube vanished instantly.
However, just before Gran completely left the World of Void, both the Supreme Kai of Time and the Great Elder of the Dragon Realm were staring intently at him.
Their gazes resembled the look Vados had once given when she secretly stole Gran years ago—
the kind of stare that almost looked as if they wanted to devour him whole.
"Supreme Kai of Time, Great Elder of the Dragon Realm… perhaps you should restrain your expressions a little. It looks rather… unsettling."
The angel Kusu suddenly appeared on the viewing platform where Grand Zeno had previously been seated.
Immediately afterward—
Whis and the other eleven Angels appeared behind her.
The two sides instantly formed a tense standoff.
The atmosphere in the World of Void suddenly grew heavy.
The Supreme Kai of Time, Chronoa, swallowed nervously.
She exchanged a glance with Raphael, the Great Elder of the Dragon Realm, and both saw the same shock reflected in each other's eyes.
The Grand Priest's eldest daughter… has grown even stronger.
When exactly had she appeared on the viewing platform?
Neither of them had even noticed.
"Alright, the match is over. You've seen everything there is to see."
"You should leave now."
Whis spoke calmly while holding his staff.
"That little fellow Gran is not someone you should covet."
"You Angels… honestly!"
Chronoa puffed out her cheeks in irritation.
"I don't have any hostile intentions."
"I just want to recruit that little guy as a Time Patrol officer."
"He's so strong. If he joined the Time Patrol, our forces would grow much stronger."
"And that would also help stabilize the timeline—"
Before she could finish—
Vados interrupted.
"Earlier, when Lord Zeno was here, didn't he already say that wasn't allowed?"
"I suggest the Supreme Kai of Time find someone else to recruit for the Time Patrol."
The viewing platform suddenly fell silent.
All the Angels turned their eyes toward the small girl.
"You're all so annoying!"
Chronoa stomped her foot angrily.
Just as Vados had said—
Since Zeno had already forbidden it earlier, there was no way she could take Gran away.
In the end, she could only leave the World of Void in frustration.
She had to report this matter about Gran to the King of Time.
"Everyone, until we meet again."
With Chronoa's departure, Raphael, the Great Elder of the Dragon Realm, no longer had any reason to remain.
He soon left as well.
The World of Void returned to silence.
Only the twelve empty viewing platforms remained, along with the shattered arena below.
After a while—
The Angel of Universe One, Awamo, hurriedly asked:
"Big Sister… what exactly is Gran?"
The Angel of Universe Two, Sour, spoke solemnly:
"That Gran is abnormal."
"Even Beerus in his youth wasn't nearly as outrageous as him."
The Angel of Universe Three, Camparri, frowned.
"Seventh-level power… Angel-level Ultra Instinct… the peak divine dimension…"
"Which of these martial achievements doesn't normally require hundreds of millions of years to reach?"
"And yet… he has achieved them already."
The Angel of Universe Four, Cognac, continued:
"Even counting the time spent inside the Time Chamber, he's only a little over three hundred years old."
"That kind of talent is simply monstrous."
One Angel after another began discussing Gran's terrifying potential.
Their excited voices echoed through the void.
Meanwhile, Whis and Vados exchanged amused glances.
Back then, they themselves had been shocked over and over again by Gran's progress.
Now—
It was finally their siblings' turn.
"Big Sister, what is really going on?"
The Angel of Universe Eleven, Marcarita, stomped her foot impatiently.
She was practically dying of curiosity.
The other Angels gradually fell silent and fixed their gazes on Kusu.
"Why are you all looking at me?"
The small girl rolled her eyes.
"Isn't Whis right here?"
"He's the one who trained that little fellow."
"Wouldn't it make more sense to ask him?"
All the Angels immediately shifted their gaze toward Whis.
Whis's mouth twitched.
Big Sister is getting more and more mischievous…
They were clearly asking her, yet she had dragged him into it.
"Very well. The truth is…"
Since the surrounding Angels were all his brothers and sisters, Whis did not hide anything.
He calmly recounted Gran's experiences over the years, including how he had gone to ask the Grand Priest about Gran.
Some time passed.
Whis was finally nearing the end of the story.
"And that was Father's evaluation of Gran."
"Father said… Gran possesses the talent of transcendence."
The moment Whis finished speaking—
BOOM!
It felt as though a thunderclap exploded inside the minds of every Angel present.
They were completely stunned.
The talent of transcendence…
How could such a thing exist?
Then who could he eventually surpass?
Would he surpass their Father?
Or could he even surpass Zeno…?
A long time passed before the Angels gradually regained their composure.
The Angel of Universe Twelve, Martinu, looked at Kusu and asked cautiously:
"Big Sister… is this really true?"
"It's true."
The small girl nodded.
"But you don't need to overthink it."
"Didn't Father say earlier that Gran has no problems whatsoever?"
"He's simply… extremely talented."
The Angels fell silent again.
After a moment—
They all stared at Whis.
From their expressions, two words were obvious:
Envy.
"Oh ho ho~"
Whis covered his mouth and chuckled.
"As Lord Beerus would say…"
"This is something you simply cannot envy your way into."
"Whis, you really deserve to die."
The one who said this was not another Angel—
but Vados.
Long ago, she had already envied Whis for having a naturally gifted disciple like Beerus.
And now—
He also had a terrifying monster like Gran.
It was enough to drive anyone mad.
After Vados said this, the other Angels all began looking at Whis with resentful expressions.
Even Kusu was no exception.
"Ahem…"
Whis cleared his throat awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.
"Big Sister, why did Lord Zeno suddenly impose that kind of punishment?"
He was referring to the decree that the defeated universes must raise their Mortal Level by one point.
The moment he asked—
All the Angels fell silent again.
They frowned deeply.
Clearly, they had also been wondering about this.
"I'm not entirely sure either."
The small girl shook her head slowly.
Her eyes were filled with confusion.
Raising the Mortal Level of nearly every universe…
This clearly meant strengthening the overall power of the entire multiverse under Zeno.
But the question remained—
Why?
