The two sides stood in confrontation within the vast expanse of space, while the surrounding stars began to collapse one after another.
"A good dog? Who are you calling a good dog?"
"Who else could it be besides you—"
Quitela suddenly seemed to realize something. His expression darkened instantly.
"You've got quite a sharp tongue."
Gran loosened his limbs, stretching casually. Then, imitating Whis's tone, he chuckled:
"Ohoho~ My teeth are quite sharp… I just wonder if yours will still be as sharp after this."
"..."
Quitela's expression grew increasingly grave.
He was seriously injured. If he fought this kid now, he had no confidence in winning.
"Cognac, we're leaving!"
For the first time, Quitela admitted fear had crept into his heart. All he wanted now was to get out of here as quickly as possible.
Only by gathering all seven Super Dragon Balls could he stand against Gran.
"Understood."
Cognac had no desire to see this battle happen either. He immediately began operating the Universe Traversal Cube.
However.
Just as he was about to change direction—
RUMBLE!!
RUMBLE!!
The entire Universe 6 began to tremble violently.
Looking again—
It was Gran.
A brilliant silver radiance suddenly erupted from his body, and a scorching aura swept across the starfield.
At this moment, he was like the eye of a storm—his overwhelming power sending chills down one's spine.
And yet...
Just as the silver aura reached its peak, it rapidly converged back into his body at an astonishing speed. His hair reverted from silver to black.
On the surface, Gran appeared to be in his normal state.
But...
Quitela, who had witnessed the Candidate God of Destruction battle, knew the truth.
Gran had already activated Angel-level Ultra Instinct.
This was his strongest form.
"Cognac, hurry!!"
Quitela grew more frantic.
"Leave? You stole my things and think you can just walk away?!"
Gran's voice echoed across the void.
Under normal circumstances, if Cognac chose to take Quitela away, Gran wouldn't be able to stop them.
But...
He wasn't alone.
There was also an angel on his side.
Whis clearly understood Gran's intention. Grabbing Gran, he instantly appeared in front of Cognac's cube, blocking their path.
"Whis, you—"
Cognac's eyes widened.
Whis narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly:
"Brother Cognac, you know as well as I do… this battle is unavoidable."
Hearing this, Cognac recalled their gathering half a year ago—when all twelve angel siblings had come together.
Back then, Whis had already hinted for him to prepare another candidate God of Destruction.
Seeing Cognac fall silent, Quitela's heart skipped a beat. He shouted:
"Cognac, what are you doing?! You are my attendant angel—I command you to take me away immediately!"
Cognac glanced at him, then shook his head helplessly toward Whis.
"You know the rules. As long as Lord Quitela's command does not violate the law of neutrality, I am obligated to obey."
Quitela immediately let out a breath of relief.
He had truly thought Cognac would abandon him.
"Hahaha! I admit you're strong, kid—but do you really think you can stop me in front of an angel?"
Quitela burst into laughter.
Watching him, Gran smirked.
"You're laughing so confidently… don't tell me you actually think Cognac can take you away?"
He tilted his head slightly.
"Did you forget? I have an angel too."
"You?" Quitela sneered. "You're just a candidate God of Destruction. Angels only obey true Gods of Destruction. You're not qualified to command Whis."
Strictly speaking—
He wasn't wrong.
Angels only take orders from official Gods of Destruction.
But..
"Is that so?"
Gran glanced at Whis and smiled.
"Whis, will you follow my command?"
"Ohoho~"
Whis covered his mouth as he chuckled softly.
"Lord Quitela isn't entirely wrong… however, Lord Beerus has stated that during his slumber, Universe 7 will be under your full authority."
"So naturally, I will obey your command."
The moment those words fell—
Quitela's eyes widened in disbelief.
Impossible.
The authority over an angel cannot be transferred in any form.
There was no way Beerus could make Whis obey Gran.
"You're lying! Gran isn't qualified to command you—how can you do this?!"
No matter how much Quitela roared—
Whis gave no explanation.
"Damn it!"
Unable to get a response, Quitela glared at Gran.
"Aren't you afraid Whis will violate the law of neutrality by doing this?!"
At that moment.
Gran suddenly burst into laughter.
"Violate the law of neutrality? Who said I'd make Whis break the rules?"
Then he turned to the angel beside him.
"Whis, I'm sure it's been a long time since you last sparred with your brother."
"I command you—go and spar with Cognac now."
"…Spar?"
Quitela's heart trembled violently.
The reason he had been so confident earlier was simple—
As long as Cognac was by his side, he could escape.
And due to the law of neutrality, even if Gran could command Whis, Whis wouldn't interfere.
After all, an angel attacking another universe's angel or God of Destruction would violate the rules.
But..
Quitela never expected this.
Whis sparring with Cognac.
They were brothers.
Sparring between angels of the same family did not violate neutrality.
Just like when Whis fought Vados before.
"Cognac, move!!"
Quitela shouted in panic.
Cognac was just about to activate the cube—
When Whis suddenly appeared before him again.
"Brother Cognac, I understand the burdens of being an angel."
"Come—let's take this to the World of Void."
"…Alright."
Cognac cast one last glance at Quitela.
A God of Destruction could be cold, ruthless—even cruel
But he must not be narrow-minded.
And he must never shrink from confrontation.
If Quitela had chosen to face Gran head-on just now, Cognac might not have agreed to this spar.
But his current behavior…
Was deeply disappointing.
"Lord Quitela… I cannot refuse my brother's request for a spar."
"So… take care of yourself."
With a soft sigh, Cognac transformed into a streak of light and vanished from Universe 6.
Whis followed immediately toward the World of Void.
But before leaving, he took Broly with him.
Otherwise, once Gran and Quitela clashed—
Broly wouldn't survive.
"Cognac, what are you doing?!!!"
Watching Cognac disappear, Quitela stood frozen in shock.
