This bodily reaction—Gran couldn't quite describe it.
It was as if his body itself was recalling every injury it had ever endured.
Fragments of the past surged forward, vivid and unrelenting—
Clear as if they had happened only moments ago.
And then..
They fused.
They connected.
They became one.
Gran's bodily instinct began to sublimate, and the invisible shackles that had long bound his limits finally started to crack.
Until at last—
Crack!
With a sharp, shattering sound, Gran's bodily instinct broke through from the peak of the Third Level into the early Fourth Level!
"It's done!!!"
On the other side, Beerus finally reacted—he leapt up in excitement, almost bouncing in place.
"I knew you could do it, Gran!"
"Hahaha! His bodily instinct has finally reached true God of Destruction level! And with his near Angel-level state of mind—who can possibly beat him now?!"
Champa was just as thrilled, pounding his chest like a wild ape.
"Quitela, you're finished!"
The other Gods of Destruction, however—
Closed their eyes in despair.
Especially the Twelfth Universe's God of Destruction, Giin—
His molars ground tightly together.
What kind of monster has Beerus taken in as a candidate…?
Is there really no one left who can stop him?
"Big Sister… he really did it!"
The other Angels could no longer remain calm. Their gazes all turned toward Kusu.
The childlike Angel smiled faintly.
"Mm. As expected of Gran."
Vados let out a long breath and chuckled softly.
"Then Quitela has truly been driven into a corner."
The World of Void
This place was also nothingness—
A silent, empty expanse.
Fragments of the arena from the previous Candidate Gods of Destruction battle still lingered here.
Above.
Two figures were sparring.
Every movement they made carried the purest essence of martial truth—
Far beyond even the level Gran and Quitela were displaying.
"Well, well… Whis, I didn't expect you to have become this strong."
Cognac swung his staff, blocking Whis's sharp strike before sweeping it horizontally in return.
"Ohoho~"
Whis stepped back lightly, smiling.
"Brother Cognac, you're the one who's gotten lazy over the years."
"..."
Cognac's lips twitched.
Lazy? Says the one who's always slacking…
And yet...
He couldn't deny it.
Whis's growth was monstrous.
To reach this level in just tens of millions of years…
"Then back when you fought Vados… you must've been the one who won."
"You can guess, Brother."
Whis replied playfully.
"I won't guess. And I'm done sparring with you."
Cognac lowered his staff and spoke calmly:
"You're that confident… that Gran can kill Lord Quitela?"
Whis stopped as well.
"I am."
There wasn't even the slightest hesitation in his voice.
Cognac froze for a moment.
"Really? But Lord Quitela is still one of the two strongest Gods of Destruction. If he's pushed into a corner—even Lord Beerus might not escape unscathed."
"Gran… can he really—"
"Brother Cognac, you don't need to worry about Gran."
Whis remained completely calm.
Cognac studied him deeply.
Why does he trust that boy so much?
"Is it because he's touched Angel-level Ultra Instinct?"
Whis smiled.
"You've seen it too. Gran's bodily instinct is about to break into the Fourth Level."
"In this life-and-death battle, I believe he will definitely break through."
"Fourth-Level bodily instinct combined with a half-step Angel-level state of mind… yes, that level of Ultra Instinct could push Lord Quitela into a corner."
"But if Gran wants to survive unscathed… that still won't be enough—"
"Brother Cognac… it will be enough."
Whis gave him a meaningful glance.
Cognac paused again, about to press further—
But Whis changed the subject.
"Brother Cognac, have you prepared a new candidate God of Destruction for Universe 4?"
Cognac fell silent for a moment before sighing.
"Lord Quitela has actually prepared four candidates… but their talent isn't particularly impressive."
"Talent is secondary. As long as candidates exist, once Quitela dies, the position will descend onto one of them."
"That way… you won't fall into slumber."
Whis smiled faintly.
Hearing this—
Cognac finally showed a rare smile.
He had no desire to fall into sleep because of Quitela's death.
At that moment.
An overwhelming power surged from the direction of Universe 6 toward the World of Void.
"It's here!"
"I knew he'd succeed!"
Whis let out his signature laugh again.
Seeing him like this, Cognac was briefly stunned—
Then his pupils shrank.
"How is this possible… Whis, is this Gran's power?!"
"That's right. This is Gran's power."
"When he was still young, he could already transform into a Super Saiyan."
"What are you talking about, Whis?"
"Brother Cognac… after over 300 years of training in the Time Chamber, how could his form remain unchanged?"
"Whis, what exactly are you saying?!"
Whis smiled.
"Brother Cognac… the Saiyan race has an ultimate state."
"And now—"
"Gran has finally reached it."
BOOM!!!
Gran's new power spread across the entire multiverse of the Grand Zeno.
At that very moment.
Even the World of Void trembled violently.
The Grand Zeno Palace
At the highest seat of authority in the multiverse.
Inside the palace of Grand Zeno.
"Wow! Grand Priest, look! That golden giant ape looks so cool!"
The childlike Zeno clapped excitedly, pointing at the projection.
"Mm. Interesting."
The Grand Priest observed calmly.
"I didn't expect the Saiyan race to possess such a form—aside from Odys's extreme berserk state, there's also this Golden Great Ape form."
"How fascinating."
"Wow~ Gran changed again! Red fur all over—he looks so handsome!"
Zeno clapped his hands in delight.
"Yes… quite impressive."
"And his power has reached this level… he truly is full of surprises."
The Grand Priest's smile deepened.
But then...
Zeno's expression suddenly changed.
The childish innocence vanished, replaced by solemn authority.
"Grand Priest."
"Yes."
The Grand Priest stepped forward and bowed.
"When Gran grows to Whis's level—bring him to me."
"…Understood."
"Oh, right—after this, go restore the universes Gran destroyed."
"And Quitela?"
"If he's gone, then he's gone."
"After all… he brought this upon himself when he sent people to ambush others back then."
"…Understood."
