At this moment.
Only Gran, Quitela, and the five Super Dragon Balls remained in this stretch of shattered cosmos.
"Don't get arrogant!"
Quitela stared at the fist colliding against Gran's.
Deep down, he felt stifled.
If it came down to pure power, he was indeed inferior.
"If I weren't injured, you wouldn't even survive a single exchange against me!"
And to be fair—Quitela wasn't boasting blindly.
Aside from Beerus, he truly was one of the strongest Gods of Destruction. His combat techniques were terrifyingly refined. With just a subtle shift, he deflected Gran's force entirely.
"Let me show you what true God of Destruction–level martial arts look like!"
Using the recoil from Gran's punch, Quitela swiftly widened the distance.
BOOM!!
A dazzling violet aura erupted from his body.
From that moment on, every movement he made carried an incomparably profound martial intent.
Peak 6th-tier divine power
Peak 4th-tier bodily instinct
1st-tier "selfless" mental state
8th-tier Destruction Law
"This guy… actually has some substance."
Gran's eyelid twitched.
At the same time, his blood began to boil.
The instant both sides ceased their clash—
The universe fell into absolute silence.
Then..
BOOM!!
A far more violent force exploded outward, roaring like a feral wolf. The already fractured cosmos—just beginning to mend—was torn apart once again.
Endless power surged around Quitela as he advanced toward Gran.
One step.
Two steps.
…
With every step he took—
A duplicate of himself was left behind.
By the time Quitela stood a thousand meters away—
The void was filled with countless phantom figures of him.
Endless. Dense. Overlapping like a swarm.
The next second.
BOOM!!
Brilliant violet light burst forth from every phantom's hand.
"Destruction!"
They roared in unison.
This was the 8th-tier Destruction Law—an unstoppable force that could erase anything.
Gran's Destruction Law was only at peak 1st-tier, nowhere near Quitela's level.
If even one of those attacks struck him—
He would be erased from existence on the spot.
"How exciting…"
Yet Gran showed not a trace of fear.
Instead.
He charged forward.
Like a lone fish swimming upstream against a raging torrent—
Countless Destruction attacks surged toward him.
But his long-refined Ultra Instinct martial art activated.
His body moved like a living spirit—
Effortless. Fluid. Natural.
He slipped through the barrage.
Each fatal strike brushed past him—
And detonated behind him into apocalyptic waves of destruction.
"Damn it! DAMN IT!!"
Quitela roared in fury.
"That cursed Ultra Instinct again! Why is it that both you and Beerus can grasp it—while I can't?!"
Enraged, he commanded his countless phantoms to attack.
Gran accelerated.
Faster and faster.
Within a single breath—
He reached the first "Quitela."
"Destruction!"
Gran attempted to counter with his own rule power—
But his 1st-tier Destruction Law was far too weak.
It couldn't even destroy a phantom.
"Hahaha!"
"You call that Destruction Law?"
"Even if I stood still, you couldn't kill me!"
Every phantom burst into mocking laughter.
"Then what about my fists?"
Gran threw a punch—
And shattered one phantom instantly.
This was the dominance of pure power.
A single force could break ten thousand techniques.
After confirming its effectiveness.
Gran abandoned his Destruction Law entirely.
His 7th-tier power surged to its fullest.
Each strike.
Tore apart a phantom.
In moments—
The overwhelming swarm vanished completely.
"Found you!"
With all illusions destroyed—
Only the real Quitela remained.
"You…!"
Quitela was both furious and alarmed.
Gran's angel-level Ultra Instinct was absurd—
He simply couldn't land clean hits.
"Didn't you say you'd show me true God of Destruction martial arts?"
Gran appeared instantly before him.
"Is this it?"
Quitela sensed something...
But he wasn't certain.
So this time..
He didn't counter.
"Why aren't you fighting back?"
"Afraid of my power?"
Gran pressed the attack.
Blood trickled from the corner of Quitela's mouth.
Gran grew more exhilarated.
He raised his fist again—
And smashed it toward Quitela's face.
BOOM!!
The impact distorted Quitela's face violently.
Yet.
He didn't get sent flying.
Instead—
He endured the blow.
Grinding his teeth, he spoke:
"…What are you so proud of?"
In the next instant.
He counterpunched toward Gran's temple.
Gran instinctively dodged—
But only partially.
The strike still grazed his face.
Now.
Both of them had their fists pressed against each other's faces.
"How is this possible?!"
Gran's pupils shrank.
"I thought your Ultra Instinct had truly reached angel level…"
Quitela's eyes gleamed coldly.
"But now I see—that's not the case!"
"You've only touched that level in mindset!"
"Your bodily instinct is still only at peak 3rd-tier!"
"Compared to my peak 4th-tier, you're still a whole dimension behind!"
"As long as I focus—"
"I can read your movements."
"So—"
"Die!!"
With that—
Quitela went berserk.
No more wide-range Destruction attacks.
He had realized..
Only close-quarters combat could defeat Gran.
And so...
A brutal exchange of hand-to-hand combat erupted.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The battlefield expanded.
Universe Six suffered increasing destruction.
"Damn it! Is that rat trying to tear apart my universe?!"
Champa fumed, nearly exploding with rage.
"Lord Champa… will Gran be alright?"
Fuwa couldn't even follow their movements.
Even with Bardock's replay—
He could tell Gran was starting to fall behind.
"For now, yes—Gran's at a disadvantage."
Champa said coldly.
"But Quitela isn't doing well either!"
"Gran's Ultra Instinct is ridiculous."
"Even if Quitela sees through his weakness—he can't land every hit!"
"He can only trade injury for injury now!"
"It's a matter of who collapses first!"
And just as Champa said—
Neither could fully evade nor fully strike.
Both were now wounded.
But..
Compared to Gran's superficial injuries—
Quitela looked far worse.
He was enduring two layers of damage:
Gran's attacks
The lingering injuries from the Omni-King's punishment
"BANG!"
Gran's punch struck his abdomen.
"You bastard!!"
Quitela retaliated with a punch to Gran's face.
"Hahaha! This is it!"
"This is what a real fight should feel like—blow for blow!"
Perhaps due to his Saiyan blood—
Pain only fueled Gran further.
"Quitela—again!"
Gran completely immersed himself in the battle.
After another intense exchange.
Gran sent Quitela flying across countless light-years.
Then..
He placed two fingers on his forehead.
SWOOSH.
Instant Transmission.
He reappeared behind Quitela—
Both fists clenched into a hammer.
Crackling lightning gathered around them.
With overwhelming force—
He brought them down.
BOOM!!
7th-tier power crashed onto Quitela's head
Caving it in by five centimeters.
"AAAAAARGH!!!"
A heart-rending scream tore through space.
And from that moment.
The tide of battle completely shifted.
Quitela—
Who had relied on trading damage to gain advantage.
Suddenly fell into a disadvantage.
"YES!!"
Fuwa jumped in excitement.
"Gran's a monster!"
Champa roared.
"His bodily instinct is evolving mid-battle!"
"Is he about to break into the 4th tier?!"
Bardock said nothing.
But her grip on her staff tightened.
Because she remembered something Gran once said—
About the Saiyans' ultimate form.
That was why she had earlier remarked—
Gran's power might not stop here.
He had spent over 300 years in the Time Chamber.
Had he already mastered that form?
If he transformed—
How far would his power go?
Meanwhile.
Back on the battlefield.
Gran fought with total immersion.
Every strike—
Full force.
Quitela responded in kind.
This was a fight to the death.
But...
Fear began to creep into Quitela's eyes.
Gran wasn't just adapting—
He was growing.
"Damn it… what kind of monster did Beerus choose as his successor…?"
Quitela could feel it.
Gran's bodily instinct.
Once stuck at peak 3rd-tier—
Was now loosening.
If he broke through—
Then with:
Angel-level mindset
4th-tier bodily instinct
His Ultra Instinct would become unstoppable.
"Rat, we're in the middle of a fight—and you're spacing out?"
Gran's voice rang out.
A white torrent surged forward.
"NO!!!"
Quitela reacted—
But too late.
The beam engulfed him instantly.
"AAAAAAARGH!!!"
7th-tier power tore his body apart.
Twisting him violently.
At the same time.
That overwhelming force—
detonated Universe Six completely.
The explosion sent shockwaves across all universes.
Universe One
"Hmm? What power is that?"
"Lord Iwan—it seems Universe Six has exploded!"
"What?! Did Champa and Beerus start fighting?!"
"Too far to tell…"
"Hahaha! Serves Champa right! Let's go—watch the show!"
Universe Ten
"Kusu, what's happening?"
"It seems Gran has encountered Quitela. They're fighting to the death."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go watch!"
"As you wish, Lord Rumsshi."
All universes stirred.
But closest of all—
Universe Seven bore the brunt of the shockwave.
The entire universe trembled.
Gods panicked.
At the Supreme Kai Realm.
Shin collapsed to the ground.
"Ancestor… what's happening?!"
The Old Supreme Kai clung to a tree.
"…I don't know. That power… it's coming from Universe Six!"
"Gran and Whis are there… did something happen to them?!"
"…Damn it! Let's go find Beerus!"
They vanished instantly.
At the Destroyer's Realm.
They arrived—
Just as a figure stepped out of the palace.
His expression—
Dark beyond measure.
"Lord Beerus—something terrible has happened!!"
The Old Supreme Kai rushed forward.
Beerus glanced at them.
Suppressing his rage, he said:
"I already know."
"Universe Six… has exploded."
"WHAT?!"
Both Kais were stunned.
"Gran is over there too!"
The Old Supreme Kai's eyes turned red.
"Gran… is there too?"
Beerus clenched his fists.
Cracking sounds echoed.
He had thought it was just Champa—
But Gran was involved too?
What exactly happened?
"Damn it!!!"
Rage surged like a volcano.
"Old man—move!"
"Take me to the edge of the universe. I'll cross over myself!"
Without Whis—
This was the only way.
"Got it!"
The Old Supreme Kai used Instant Transmission.
In an instant.
They arrived at the edge of Universe Seven.
Beyond it—
Lay Universe Six.
Beerus's face darkened further.
In one hand, he grabbed Shin.
In the other—
The Old Supreme Kai.
Then..
He stepped forward.
Out of Universe Seven.
