...
Gran and Whis stepped out of the Dimension Tower. Broly was still waiting outside.
Gran glanced back at the towering structure before speaking:
"Let's go. It's time to gather the Super Dragon Balls."
Broly nodded, already feeling a surge of excitement.
With the Super Dragon Ball Radar in their possession, collecting them wouldn't be difficult.
The three of them exited the God of Destruction's palace and returned to the cosmic void outside.
However—
The three Super Dragon Balls that had been placed outside the Destroyer's realm… were gone.
"…Huh?"
Broly searched around frantically, then turned back in panic.
"Big Brother Gran, the Super Dragon Balls are gone!!"
Gran, however, wasn't as naive.
Those three colossal spheres—once they left the Destroyer's realm, they would be impossible to miss.
There was nothing to "search" for.
Someone had stolen them.
"How bold… daring to steal from me."
A cold glint flashed in Gran's eyes.
As if responding to his anger, Universe 6 itself trembled faintly—like the calm before an impending storm.
"Gran, take out your Super Dragon Ball Radar. They won't get far," Whis said calmly.
"Right."
Gran pulled out a Capsule from his pocket, pressed it, and tossed it into the air. Instantly, a Super Dragon Ball Radar appeared in his hand.
He checked their positions.
Seven points of light appeared on the radar—
Five of them were clustered together, rapidly moving toward the edge of Universe 6.
"Well, well…"
"They even managed to collect two more. Let's go!"
As Broly and Whis placed their hands on Gran's shoulders, Gran raised two fingers to his forehead—
Whoosh!
The three vanished instantly.
...
At the same time.
A Cube of Universe Traversal sped toward the edge of Universe 6.
"Hahahaha!!"
"I was just wondering if Champa had a habit of hoarding Super Dragon Balls. I didn't expect to actually find three of them there!"
"What a stroke of luck!!!"
"Hahaha!"
"Now that I've collected five, there shouldn't be any left in Universe 6. The remaining ones must be in Universe 7!"
"Before Champa notices, before Beerus wakes up, and while Gran is still in Universe 6—we have to hurry to Universe 7!!"
"Hahaha! Once I recover from my injuries, Gran… you're dead!!"
Quitela laughed wildly inside the cube.
He assumed the three Super Dragon Balls outside Champa's realm were part of Champa's personal collection.
He had no idea—
They belonged to Gran.
By sheer coincidence, Quitela had completely misunderstood the situation.
Even the angel Cognac was surprised by the sudden discovery of those three additional Dragon Balls.
Could Quitela really succeed in gathering them all… and summon Super Shenron?
However...
Cognac's expression suddenly changed.
The cube beneath his feet came to an abrupt halt.
"Hm?"
Quitela frowned.
"Why did you stop, Cognac?"
"…Lord Quitela, look ahead."
"Ahead?"
Quitela shifted his gaze forward—
And the moment he saw who stood there, his pupils shrank violently.
"Gran!!!"
On the other side.
Gran had been wondering why he couldn't sense the thief's aura, and how they could move so quickly.
If not for the radar—and by teleporting directly to their path—he might have missed them entirely.
Now it all made sense.
"So it was the angel masking your presence… Quitela."
A chilling smile curved across Gran's lips.
Recognizing the situation, even Whis widened his eyes slightly. He hadn't expected the thief to be Quitela.
Given the grudge between him and Gran…
Whis narrowed his eyes.
This was going to end badly.
Meanwhile, Broly had already sensed that something was terribly wrong.
Despite his towering frame of over two meters, he shrank back like a timid quail, hiding behind Whis.
Rumble!
Rumble!
No one spoke, yet the vast cosmic void echoed with an ominous hum.
Across Universe 6, countless deities felt an overwhelming pressure descend upon them.
They didn't know what was happening—
But an instinctive dread rose in their hearts.
Something major was about to unfold.
At the same time.
The Supreme Kai of Universe 6, Fuwa, also noticed the disturbance. He immediately scanned the surroundings.
Soon, he discovered five figures gathered at the boundary leading toward Universe 7.
They stood in two opposing groups—locked in confrontation.
The moment he recognized them, Fuwa's face changed drastically.
"What is going on?!"
"Why is Lord Quitela in Universe 6?!"
"This is bad—he's facing off against Gran! I need to inform Lord Champa immediately!"
Fuwa tried to contact Vados, but she was inside the Dimension Tower and unaware of the outside events. Naturally, there was no response.
"Damn it! Why can't I reach anyone at a time like this?!"
"No—I have to go to the Destroyer's realm myself!"
Without hesitation, Fuwa used Instant Transmission and vanished from the Supreme Kai Realm.
...
Back at Gran's side.
The atmosphere in this region of space grew increasingly suffocating.
Even Broly couldn't withstand the pressure.
If not for Whis shielding him, he would have already collapsed.
Gran stared at Quitela, a playful yet dangerous smile on his face.
"Lord Quitela… when the Candidate God of Destruction battle ended half a year ago, why did you leave in such a hurry?"
There it is…
Both Cognac and Whis felt their eyelids twitch.
They knew the grudge between Gran and Quitela all too well.
Now that they had crossed paths again—
This battle to the death was inevitable.
"Hmph! Whether I left quickly or not is none of your damn business!"
Quitela's face remained pale from his injuries, but he crossed his arms and sneered coldly:
"I've got more important matters to deal with. I don't have time to chat with you."
"Good dogs don't block the road."
