"Has he gone insane? How could someone like that become a Candidate Supreme Kai?"
Even Whis was stunned by the twisted ideology of that Candidate Supreme Kai.
Beerus's eyes blazed with murderous intent.
"Is he from our universe? Tell me who he is—I'll go kill him right now!"
"He is not from our universe," Gran replied calmly. "As for Universe Seven's Supreme Kais... one was sealed away by you, and the other understands nothing. How could they possibly have taken in a Candidate Supreme Kai?"
As he spoke, Gran could not help rolling his eyes.
Beerus instantly looked embarrassed.
After all, the current miserable state of Universe Seven was entirely his doing.
At that moment, he did not dare say another word.
"Gran, which universe is that guy from?" Whis asked when he saw Beerus fall silent.
"He's from Universe Ten. His name is Zamasu. His master is Gowasu."
Gran sat in his chair, lightly tapping his fingers on the table.
At the side, Whis waved his staff.
A projection instantly appeared above the table, displaying the image of Universe Ten's Supreme Kai.
"Gowasu!"
Beerus showed no doubt toward Gran's words.
He stared coldly at the image and sneered:
"That old fool did well for himself—taking in such a disciple!"
Whis looked at Gowasu thoughtfully.
"Gran, judging by your tone, this Zero Mortals Plan must be extremely serious. If that's the case, why didn't any God of Destruction step in to stop it?"
"Gods of Destruction?"
Gran sighed.
"That Zamasu is clever. He knew he could never defeat a God of Destruction. So from the very beginning, he killed all twelve Supreme Kais first."
"And as for the corresponding fates of the twelve Gods of Destruction..."
Gran did not continue.
But Beerus and Whis both understood immediately.
If the twelve Supreme Kais died, then the twelve Gods of Destruction linked to them would also perish.
And the Angels tied to them would fall into dormancy.
Boom!
A monstrous wave rose inside Beerus's heart.
Whis was equally shaken.
Now they understood why Gran had been willing to commit the grave crime of manipulating time just to warn them.
Because—
Beerus would die.
"Gran... you..."
Beerus trembled slightly.
This Gran had no real connection to him at all.
Yet he had gone this far for his sake.
Was this truly only because of affection carried over from another timeline?
"That other version of me deserves to die... How could he be lucky enough to gain such a good disciple?"
Beerus was deeply moved.
And at the same time—
Intensely jealous.
"Lord Beerus, in the timeline I witnessed, the final result was this—every mortal in the Omni-King's cosmos died."
"And in the end... it drew the attention of the Omni-King himself."
"The Omni-King?! Then what happened after that?"
Beerus shot to his feet.
Gran rose as well, clasping his hands behind his back as he gazed at the projection of Gowasu.
"The Omni-King deemed that world too filthy."
"So in the end... he erased the entire Omni-King cosmos."
Silence.
The God of Destruction's palace became deathly quiet.
So quiet it felt as if even a needle hitting the floor could be heard.
Beerus, Whis, and Bulma had never imagined the ending would be so catastrophic.
Time passed.
It felt like an entire century.
At last, Beerus came back to himself.
His gaze had turned ice-cold.
Dense violet energy surged from his body.
Murderous intent filled the hall.
It was as if an ancient god of slaughter had awakened.
"Lord Beerus," Gran asked, "are you planning to leave now and kill him in advance?"
"Yes!"
"But he hasn't done anything yet," Gran said evenly. "Perhaps in this timeline, those events may never happen."
"..."
Beerus froze.
He truly had not considered that.
As Gran said, the Zamasu of this timeline had not done anything yet.
If Beerus rashly killed another universe's Candidate Supreme Kai, Gowasu would never let the matter rest.
Then Gowasu would surely summon Universe Ten's God of Destruction, Rumsshi.
Beerus did not fear Rumsshi—
But he feared alerting the Grand Priest and the Omni-King.
"Damn it!"
Beerus clenched his teeth fiercely.
If the Grand Priest and Omni-King were alerted, then Gran's time travel would certainly be exposed.
And Gran might be punished.
This precious treasure had already done so much for him.
Beerus refused to let Gran suffer because of it.
"Lord Beerus, for now... you can only wait."
Gran then explained everything he knew:
When Zamasu would make his move.
What he intended to do.
When he planned to gather the Super Dragon Balls with Black Son Goku.
He laid out every detail.
After hearing it all, Beerus's eyes lit up.
"Lord Beerus, I've told you everything I know. You must already have a plan now, right?"
"I do."
"Good."
Gran did not ask what the plan was.
If Beerus still could not avoid this disaster after being given every answer, then he would truly be an idiot.
"My purpose in coming here has been fulfilled."
"So it's time for me to return."
Gran walked over to Bulma and grabbed the back of her collar.
"Huh?!"
Bulma was lifted into the air like a little chick once more.
Her cheeks puffed up instantly.
Couldn't you carry me more gently?!
Everything had happened too fast.
Beerus had not yet processed it.
"Wait!"
He instantly appeared beside Gran and pressed a hand onto his shoulder.
"I don't know whether that future will happen or not. But you committed the grave crime of manipulating time for my sake."
"How about... you don't go back?"
He did not mean keeping Gran as a disciple.
He was afraid Gran would be punished upon returning.
Whis also stepped forward.
"Gran, the favor you have done Lord Beerus this time is immense. Lord Beerus has not even repaid you yet."
Hearing them, Gran glanced at the ring on his finger, then looked up with a smile.
"You don't need to worry."
"I've been here quite a while already, yet Chronoa still hasn't come to stop me."
"That means I'll be fine."
"Chronoa?"
Beerus and Whis exchanged glances.
Both knew exactly who Chronoa was.
"Lord Beerus, there's no need to think too much about it."
"If I had never come to this timeline, I wouldn't have interfered with your fate at all."
"This time was just an accident."
"Pretend I was never here."
Gran never expected repayment from the Beerus of this timeline.
He had only wanted to change this timeline's history.
Carrying Bulma by the collar, Gran stepped back two paces.
Then he waved casually.
"Goodbye."
With that, he activated the Time Ring.
In the next instant.
Both of them vanished without a trace.
Gone.
Just like that, he had left.
And the God of Destruction's palace returned once more to its usual cold silence.
