"Her raw combat strength isn't particularly impressive. She probably can't compare to Lord Beerus…"
The Old Supreme Kai spoke with a serious expression.
"However, her ability to escape is extremely formidable!"
(Author's note: Her strength reference is based on the Dragon Ball Heroes arc, where Son Goku once fought the former Supreme Kai of Time, Aeos.)*
So weak?
Gran felt somewhat surprised.
But thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
If Chronoa were truly powerful in direct combat, why would she need to recruit Time Patrol officers to assist her?
Having satisfied part of his curiosity, Gran's eyes gleamed again as another thought crossed his mind.
"What about the Great Elder of the Dragon Realm? How strong is he?"
"Why do you have so many questions?"
The Old Supreme Kai sighed helplessly.
"That one… I'm not too sure either. He seems to have existed even longer than I have."
Gran then turned toward Beerus and Champa.
Champa shook his head.
"The beings of the Dragon Realm are extremely mysterious."
"Even after Beerus and I became Gods of Destruction, that fellow was already around."
Beerus nodded as well.
"We truly don't know how long Raphael has existed, nor how strong he actually is."
Their voices echoed within the transport cube.
Gran remained deep in thought.
From what they described, it seemed that anything related to the Dragon Balls was shrouded in mystery.
"Enough."
Beerus said calmly.
"How strong they are is their business."
"As long as you continue to grow stronger, one day you will surpass them all."
"Understood."
Gran nodded.
After learning so much from the Old Supreme Kai and the others, the transport cube continued accelerating.
Before long, Gran and the others returned to Universe Seven.
At the same time, the various Gods of Destruction also returned to their respective universes.
As they arrived back home, the results of the God of Destruction Candidate Tournament quickly spread among the higher-ranking deities.
The inhabitants of Universes Six and Seven celebrated joyfully.
The other universes, however, could only sigh in disappointment.
Especially in Universe Ten.
The Supreme Kai candidate, Zamasu, finally realized something shocking—
Humans could actually grow powerful enough to rival Gods of Destruction.
Fortunately…
The final victor was still a god.
And that was enough for him.
Meanwhile…
At the end of time lay the Time Realm.
This space was actually not very large.
In fact, it was roughly the size of a human town, and the architecture within it carried a strong Western European style.
At the very center of this town stood a building that resembled a vast library.
This was the Chronicle Repository of the Time Realm
(you could think of it as the Temple of Time).
The repository mainly stored the histories of countless timelines.
At that moment—
A sudden crack in space appeared before the repository.
From the fissure, a small figure hurriedly crawled out.
She rushed anxiously into the Chronicle Repository.
The interior of the repository was extremely empty.
A blurred figure stood before the wall, examining the recorded histories of various timelines.
Looking at the figure from behind, it was impossible to determine whether they were male or female, nor could their appearance be seen clearly.
It was as if that person did not truly belong to this world.
"Lord King of Time, something terrible has happened!"
The small figure rushed inside and hurried over, panting heavily.
"Chronoa, what's wrong?"
The blurred figure was none other than the King of Time.
The King of Time's voice was clear and melodious, yet when it echoed through the Chronicle Repository, it created ripples across time and space themselves.
Compared to the rule-bound voice of Lord Zeno, the two carried completely different qualities.
It was impossible to say which was superior.
"Lord King of Time, didn't I go watch the tournament held by Lord Zeno?"
"Do you know what I saw there?"
"Oh?"
"What did you see?"
"I saw a very interesting individual."
"His name is Gran."
"But his identity is extremely strange—"
"He is actually the God of Destruction candidate of Universe Seven."
Chronoa paused to catch her breath before continuing.
"But across all the timelines I've ever checked…"
"I've never once seen Universe Seven have a God of Destruction candidate!"
"Oh?"
"Such a situation actually exists?"
The blurred figure of the King of Time lightly waved a slender hand.
A section of space inside the repository opened.
From within it, a scroll leapt out.
With another flick of the King of Time's finger, the Scroll of Time instantly unfurled.
What it displayed was precisely the history of the timeline where Gran existed.
"Hm?"
The blurred figure seemed slightly surprised.
Immediately, the King of Time waved a hand again.
Buzz!
Every sealed space within the repository suddenly opened.
Like flowers scattering from the heavens, countless Scrolls of Time flew out and unfolded one after another.
The King of Time carefully examined every scroll.
Then—
Their movements suddenly froze.
"This child called Gran…"
"In every single timeline, he dies."
"But in the timeline you mentioned—"
"He actually survived."
"If there is only one version of him across all timelines…"
"Then he possesses something known as Temporal Uniqueness."
