As Beerus and the others stepped beyond the boundaries of the Seventh Universe, they were greeted by a shocking sight.
The twin Sixth Universe—once adjacent to the Seventh—was… gone.
Completely erased.
"Th-This… it really exploded…"
Shin covered his mouth in disbelief.
"My Gran… you died such a miserable death!!"
The Old Supreme Kai burst into tears, convinced Gran had perished. The old man looked utterly pitiful, sobbing as if the sky had fallen.
Suddenly.
He noticed something.
Pointing toward where the edge of the Sixth Universe used to be, he cried out while still choking on tears:
"Lord Beerus, what's that?!"
In that direction, two terrifying divine auras were violently clashing.
"It's Gran… and Champa."
Sensing their presence, Beerus let out a quiet sigh of relief.
The Sixth Universe being destroyed didn't matter—so long as his brother and Gran were still alive.
"Ah? Gran didn't die?"
The Old Supreme Kai quickly wiped away his tears.
Shin frowned slightly.
"Ancestor… why does it sound like you're a little disappointed he didn't die?"
"Bullshit!"
The Old Supreme Kai snapped, eyes still red.
"Gran is my precious treasure! I just think my tears were wasted, that's all!"
Shin: "..."
Beerus: "..."
"Enough of this nonsense."
Beerus shot them both an annoyed glance before continuing forward, carrying them as he flew.
"I was wondering what happened… turns out Gran has run into that sewer rat, Quitela."
"Gran ran into that rat?!"
The Old Supreme Kai, dangling like a chick in Beerus' grip, hurriedly asked:
"How is Gran doing right now?"
"He's fine—for now. In fact, Quitela is in worse shape."
But instead of feeling relieved, Beerus' expression darkened.
"I don't know how they crossed paths, but they're mortal enemies. If Gran pushes Quitela into a corner…"
"…then Quitela will definitely launch a desperate counterattack before dying."
"And with Quitela's original strength… if he goes all out like that, Gran will be in real danger."
Hearing this, both Shin and the Old Supreme Kai felt their hearts skip a beat.
"Lord Beerus, then hurry! We have to save Gran!"
"Hmph. You think I don't want to go faster?"
Beerus snorted.
"If I weren't carrying you two deadweights, I'd already be there!"
The Supreme Kai's Instant Transmission could reach Zeno's Palace and travel freely within a universe—but once outside, it became ineffective.
With Whis absent, Beerus had no choice but to carry them himself.
Leaving them behind in the Seventh Universe wasn't an option either—if the destruction spread, they would die instantly.
Meanwhile…
The space that once belonged to the Sixth Universe had become pure void.
No sky.
No land.
No air.
Not even space itself remained.
Only endless darkness.
"AAAAAARGH!!!"
Quitela was still being ravaged by Gran's energy wave. The attack, carrying Seventh-Level power, twisted his body violently as he screamed in agony.
Not far away, Gran hovered in the void, breathing heavily.
He knew—
That attack wasn't enough to kill Quitela.
As the second-strongest God of Destruction beneath Beerus, Quitela's resilience was monstrous.
Even while severely injured—unable to display even half his true power—he had still forced Gran to rely on Angel-level Ultra Instinct just to gain the upper hand.
"This guy is seriously tough…"
Gran gasped for breath.
At this point, continuing the fight would only lead to mutual destruction.
"Hmph… that's not the outcome I want."
Without hesitation, Gran reached to his belt and pulled out a small bean.
A Senzu Bean—one he had obtained from Earth.
At a time like this, he had no intention of acting like Son Goku—spouting martial artist ideals.
Refusing to eat a Senzu Bean…
Even giving one to the enemy…
That kind of "honor" was something Gran utterly despised.
Heaven destroys those who don't act for themselves.
Without hesitation—
He tossed the bean into his mouth.
Crunch! Crunch!
He chewed and swallowed.
In the next instant—
BOOM!
A vast surge of energy erupted from his body.
His power instantly returned to the early Seventh Level.
At the same time, every injury on his body was completely healed.
In the distance, Quitela witnessed the entire process.
"D-Damn it…!!"
"How did you… recover your stamina and injuries?!"
Even as he spoke, Quitela used his Eighth-Level Destruction Law to devour the lingering energy surrounding him.
But due to his earlier lapse in focus, his injuries had worsened significantly.
Blood spilled continuously from his mouth as he wiped it away again and again.
"HAHAHAHA! Quitela—prepare to die!"
Gran shot upward, rising a hundred thousand meters into the void.
He drew his hands to his waist—
A stance eerily similar to the Kamehameha.
White energy gathered between his palms, forming a sphere about twenty centimeters wide.
Crackle!!
Gran began compressing it.
With each compression, the energy grew denser, more terrifying—like it could swallow the heavens themselves.
Moments later—
BOOM!!!
The once unstable sphere solidified completely.
Its power surged to the mid Seventh Level.
"Go!!"
Gran thrust both hands forward.
The energy wave roared downward.
BOOM!!!
Even the residual energy alone could sweep across everything in existence.
Quitela's scalp went numb.
"Damn it… if I weren't injured, who could push me this far?!"
Spitting another mouthful of blood, Quitela roared toward the void:
"You forced my hand—so the one who dies… will be YOU!"
His gaze turned ice-cold.
In that instant, he entered a bizarre state.
A tyrannical aura erupted from his body—dominating everything.
This was the God of Destruction's unique state:
Ego Instinct.
The stronger the will, the greater the power it unleashed.
"Seventh-Level power… I'm back!!"
A pillar of violet light burst skyward.
His strength surged from peak Sixth Level—
To the Seventh Level.
Now, he stood on equal footing with Gran.
The moment Gran's attack touched that violet pillar—
It shattered into countless motes of light.
"This guy's willpower…"
Gran's heart trembled.
He understood Ego Instinct well.
It required immense willpower to sustain.
But Quitela...
Already gravely injured, needing sheer will just to move—
Was somehow maintaining this state?
"This guy is terrifying…"
Gran's lips slowly curled into a grin.
"But… this kind of fight is what makes it fun, isn't it?"
"HAHAHAHA! Quitela—come!"
"Now that you're back at the Seventh Level… killing you like this…"
"…will be far more satisfying."
