Besides, Trunks' talent was quite impressive. He was more than qualified to become a Candidate God of Destruction.
Chronoa was lost in thought.
Her absentmindedness naturally caught everyone's attention.
Whis gave her a knowing smile. "Supreme Kai of Time, aren't the people of the Time Realm usually unwilling to reveal anything? How come you've exposed so much information this time?"
Beerus and the Old Kai also looked at Chronoa strangely.
Normally, even when faced with a crisis that could destroy an entire timeline, the people of the Time Realm would simply stand by and do nothing.
"Hmph. I'm only telling you all this because of Gran."
Chronoa rolled her eyes at them before taking two steps backward.
"You've all met Gran, and Gran has already left. So I'm going back too."
"Leaving so soon? Why don't you stay a little longer?"
"Hmph. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid you'll squeeze every secret out of me."
Chronoa waved at everyone before instantly disappearing from their sight.
After Chronoa left, Beerus and the others wore helpless expressions.
"I was originally hoping to pry a few more secrets out of that girl, but she caught on to what we were doing."
Beerus sighed.
"Exactly! Chronoa is way too clever!"
The Old Kai looked disappointed.
Whis: "..."
These two really were insatiable. Wasn't knowing this much information already more than enough?
Before long, the surroundings fell silent once again. Even the excited Trunks and Bulma had obediently returned to their seats at the tea table, quietly drinking their tea.
Beerus held his teacup in his hand. Every now and then, he glanced at Trunks, then looked up at the sky.
Meanwhile, Whis stood beside Beerus, preparing tea for him.
After a while...
Two figures slowly flew over from the distance.
They were none other than Shin and Kibito, who Beerus had previously knocked unconscious with a single glare.
"Lord Beerus, that's the current Supreme Kai."
The Old Kai quickly stood up and introduced him.
"I know. He's the one I've been waiting for."
Beerus also rose from the tea table. He glanced at Whis beside him.
"Let's get ready to head back."
After saying this, Beerus twisted his foot slightly.
His body instantly blurred.
When his figure became solid again, Trunks and Bulma both widened their eyes.
Beerus was actually holding two figures in his hands!
It was Shin and Kibito.
"Lord Beerus, what are you doing?"
The Old Kai was stunned.
"Oh, right. There's also you, old man."
Beerus glanced at Shin and Kibito in his hands. Since both of his hands were already occupied, he turned his gaze toward Trunks.
"You. Go grab this old geezer for me."
Trunks was confused.
Why did this more ancient Supreme Kai want him to grab him?
Still, he followed Beerus's order and walked toward the Old Kai.
"What? Beerus, what exactly are you planning to do?"
The Old Kai swallowed nervously.
He had absolutely no idea what Beerus was thinking. He kept backing away, afraid that Beerus was about to seal him away again.
"Lord Old Kai, surrender peacefully!"
Trunks assumed that this more ancient Supreme Kai must be incredibly powerful, so he immediately transformed into a Super Saiyan.
"Oh? What's this transformation?!"
Beerus froze for a moment.
The Old Kai was also completely dumbfounded by Trunks's transformation.
Taking advantage of the Old Kai's momentary confusion, Trunks effortlessly grabbed him.
"Huh? Why is Lord Old Kai so weak too?"
Trunks lifted the Old Kai by the back of his robe.
"What do you mean, 'so weak too'?! I'm very strong, you know?!"
The Old Kai dangled helplessly in midair, struggling with all his might.
But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from Trunks's grip.
In the end, he could only glare angrily at Trunks.
Trunks: "..."
If you're really that strong, how did I manage to catch you?
The Old Kai had no idea what Trunks was thinking. Instead, he carefully examined Trunks.
"But this state of yours..."
"What about it?"
Trunks scratched his head with one hand while holding the Old Kai up with the other.
"This is the unique Super Saiyan transformation of our Saiyan race. Lord Gran can use it too."
"Gran can use it too?"
Beerus and the Old Kai exchanged glances.
They could both see the confusion in each other's eyes.
This transformation was obviously abnormal.
So why could Gran use it as well?
"All right. Let's return to the God of Destruction's World and talk about this later."
Beerus shook his head.
"Why are we going to the God of Destruction's World?"
Only now did the Old Kai realize that Beerus intended to take all of them back there.
"Hmph. Has being sealed away made your brain go soft? Obviously, we're preparing for that Zamasu!"
According to Gran and Trunks's accounts, Zamasu had killed the Supreme Kai while Beerus was asleep. Since the life of a God of Destruction was linked to the life of his universe's Supreme Kai, Beerus had died as well.
To prevent that from happening again, Beerus naturally had to keep the last two Supreme Kais under his protection.
"Oh, right!"
The Old Kai finally understood.
With that, Whis took everyone from the Supreme Kai's World and flew into the sky.
As Beerus and the others departed, the events of the future timeline finally came to an end.
...
In Gran's timeline, at the God of Destruction's World.
A temporal rift appeared beside the lake.
A moment later, Gran stepped out of it.
"Back already?"
Whis was sitting nearby, eating instant noodles.
Gran nodded.
He glanced at the cup of instant noodles in Whis's hands, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
After all these years of eating instant noodles, this guy still hadn't gotten tired of them.
Honestly, he was speechless.
"You came back at just the right time. Go make me something delicious."
Whis casually tossed the instant noodles in his hand into the lake.
The moment the noodles landed in the water, the giant fish inside the lake immediately leaped out one after another, fighting over the food.
Gran stared at the instant noodles floating in the lake.
He was speechless once again.
He had thought Whis still hadn't grown tired of instant noodles.
Apparently, he had simply found another way to enjoy them.
"Fine. Wait a while."
Gran rubbed his stomach.
He happened to be hungry as well.
With that, Gran turned around and walked toward his personal outdoor kitchen.
"How did things go?"
Whis's voice came from behind him.
Gran immediately guessed what Whis was asking about.
It was probably about Zamasu.
Without turning around, he replied, "Naturally, I destroyed that piece of trash."
"Did everything go smoothly?"
"With my strength, do you really think Zamasu could have escaped?"
"I never doubted your strength. I'm asking whether Lord Rumsshi and Lord Gowasu tried to stop you."
"They did. But I slapped them away with one hand."
"Uh... all right. As long as they aren't dead, that's fine. Then what did the other Lord Beerus want with you?"
"What else? He just wanted to see what I had done to deserve being accepted as your disciple."
"And they didn't try to make you stay?"
"They did. But I ignored them."
"..."
Gran prepared delicious food while chatting with Whis.
As Whis listened to Gran recount everything that had happened, he nodded with satisfaction.
Even after being tempted by such an incredible opportunity, the little guy still knew to come home.
It seemed all the years of caring for him hadn't been wasted.
Before long, enticing aromas began drifting out from the outdoor kitchen.
At the same time, another temporal rift appeared beside the kitchen.
Gran and Whis both glanced toward the opening.
A moment later, a little girl crawled out of it.
"Why are you here?"
Gran asked.
Whis also looked confused.
The person who had just arrived was none other than Chronoa.
"So... delicious!!"
Chronoa repeatedly sniffed the air.
The aroma wafting out from the outdoor kitchen was making her mouth water.
"Gran, I didn't know the food you made smelled this amazing! Can I have some later?"
Chronoa looked at him pitifully.
...
