"What?!!!"
Quitela's eyes immediately widened.
Ever since the entire Universe had been shattered by that mysterious force, he had devoted himself to cultivating his power.
There were countless monsters within the Chaos Zone, but none of them posed any real threat to him. Instead, they had become nothing more than punching bags for him to hone his strength against.
In other words, this Chaos Zone was already an incredibly suitable place for cultivation.
Calling it a holy land for cultivation would not be an exaggeration.
Yet after cultivating in this so-called holy land for so many years, his strength had only risen from the early Seventh Order to the middle Seventh Order.
He couldn't even reach the peak of the Seventh Order, let alone the Angel Realm!
Quitela had even begun to believe that, given his talent, the peak of the Seventh Order might already be his absolute limit.
"So I really can't leave the Chaos Zone?"
Quitela instantly became dejected.
"Lord Quitela, pull yourself together!"
Kuru grabbed Quitela by the shoulders and shook him frantically.
"It's only the Angel Realm! Our strength may not be enough to reach that level, but Cognac can do it, can't he?"
The moment those words were spoken...
A flash of realization suddenly streaked through Quitela's mind.
"That's right! How could I have forgotten about Cognac? Kuru, you're damn smart!"
Quitela instantly became ecstatic.
Meanwhile, Gran floated nearby with his eyes narrowed slightly.
From what he had just learned, it seemed that none of the Gods of Destruction or Supreme Kais from the twelve universes had died.
If even these weaklings were still alive, then the angels like Whis were obviously fine as well.
It was just...
What were those angels doing right now?
"Don't get too excited just yet."
Gran suddenly spoke.
"??"
Quitela and Kuru looked over.
Gran's gaze was filled with meaning.
"That rift has definitely existed for quite some time. There's no way Cognac and the others didn't know about it."
"Yet despite that, they never told you about the rift."
"Don't you find that strange?"
"That's right!!"
After Gran's reminder, Quitela and Kuru finally realized the problem.
Both of them suddenly sucked in a sharp breath.
If the angels knew that the rift existed but deliberately chose not to tell them about it, then didn't that mean...
The angels didn't want them to return to the outside world!!!
Quitela scratched at his head in frustration.
"Why can't we return to the outside world? Why?!"
Gran also fell into deep thought.
The Chaos Zone once again fell silent.
Time slowly passed as the three of them quietly floated through the endless void.
"Let's go back and ask Cognac!"
Kuru couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so he finally shook his head.
Just then...
Another group of monsters appeared ahead of them.
Their strength was still relatively weak. The strongest among them had only reached the Third Order of the Divine Realm.
Gran didn't even raise his eyelids.
He casually tossed a Destruction Energy blast toward them.
BOOM!!!
The group of monsters instantly transformed into countless specks of starlight.
"??"
A trace of confusion flashed through Quitela's eyes.
This mysterious man's pure power was already stronger than his own.
But why was his Destruction Rule only at the peak of the Second Order?
"Wait!!!"
Quitela suddenly realized something.
He swallowed hard before pointing at Gran with trembling fingers.
"You... You just said that returning to the outside world requires the power of the Angel Realm."
"Doesn't that mean your pure power has already reached the Angel Realm?"
Judging from Gran's attire, he was clearly a God of Destruction.
But when had a God of Destruction ever possessed power comparable to an angel?
"What?"
After hearing Quitela's words, Kuru was so shocked that his legs went limp and he nearly collapsed in the void.
Seeing their reactions, Gran helplessly rubbed his forehead.
Their reaction time is way too slow.
"Sir, you actually possess the power of the Angel Realm!"
Quitela immediately transformed into a complete bootlicker.
"Can you take me back to the outside world? I've really had enough of this place!!!"
He even switched to the respectful form of address.
"..."
To be fair, Quitela's attitude in this GT timeline was rather pleasing to Gran.
Originally, Gran had been planning to kill Quitela once he had gotten everything he needed from him.
But since this little rat was so sensible...
Fine. What harm could there be in sparing his life?
"You two can't go back."
Gran continued shaking his head.
"Why?"
"Because the angels wouldn't hide this information from you for no reason."
"This must have been Lord Zeno's will."
"..."
Quitela and Kuru suddenly thought of something.
Both of them fell silent.
Gran had also roughly figured it out.
Quitela had mentioned earlier that they were required to carry out a cleanup mission once every ten years.
Perhaps that was precisely why they were unable to leave the Chaos Zone!
Quitela shook his head and sighed.
"Sir..."
"Just call me Gran."
"Gran?"
Quitela froze for a moment before cautiously asking,
"Mr. Gran, you came here because you wanted to investigate the matter concerning these monsters, right?"
"Yes!"
"How about I take you back to our headquarters?"
"..."
Gran didn't answer immediately.
Instead, he fell into thought.
Quitela and Kuru exchanged a glance but wisely chose not to disturb him.
"How long would it take to return to your headquarters?"
"Probably around a year."
"Then forget it."
Gran shook his head.
"I did indeed come here to investigate the monsters, but I don't have much time left."
Gran was referring to the upcoming Universal Martial Arts Tournament.
There wasn't much time remaining.
If he didn't return soon, he would miss it.
Besides, he had already learned a great deal of important information from Quitela.
First, the monsters had been created after being corrupted by those cold and sinister auras.
Second, the area beyond the rift was the Chaos Zone.
Third, Beerus and the others from the GT timeline were still alive.
Fourth, the threat posed by the monsters was not nearly as terrifying as he had imagined.
Fifth, the Chaos Zone itself had instead become a holy land for cultivation...
