The moment those words were spoken, the entire Destroyer Realm fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared at each other in shock.
Especially Champa.
After all, he had done this sort of thing before.
Back then, he had recruited twenty God of Destruction Candidates.
Of course, that was only to prepare for the great Candidate God of Destruction Battle.
But now that the war had long since ended, why was Vados suddenly suggesting that he recruit another candidate?
Wait a second!
It was as if Champa suddenly realized something.
He looked at Gran with a stunned expression.
There was only one "outsider" in the Destroyer Realm right now—
Gran.
Could it be that Beerus wanted him to recruit Gran as Universe 6's God of Destruction Candidate?
"Vados, are you saying—?!"
Champa became incredibly excited.
Meanwhile, Fuwa was still completely confused.
Why had Lord Champa suddenly become so emotional?
"Yes."
Vados nodded.
Though Vados and Champa were practically speaking in riddles, Gran had already guessed what they meant.
The reason he had come here was because Beerus had sent him.
Could it be that Lord Beerus intended for him to simultaneously become Universe 6's God of Destruction Candidate as well?
"GRAN!!!"
Champa suddenly pounced toward him once again, hanging onto him like a rag.
"Become Universe 6's candidate!!!"
Champa didn't know why Beerus would allow this, but this had always been his wish.
Otherwise, when Gran was still a child, Champa wouldn't have once entertained the idea of stealing him away from Universe 7.
At this moment...
Universe 6's Supreme Kai, Fuwa, finally reacted as well.
His entire body trembled with excitement.
If Gran truly became Universe 6's God of Destruction Candidate—
Then Universe 6 would truly soar to unimaginable heights!
"Wait."
Gran pulled Champa off himself and raised a hand.
Then he voiced the guess forming in his mind.
"Vados, are you saying that Lord Beerus sent me here so I could simultaneously serve as Universe 6's God of Destruction Candidate?"
Although Champa was extremely excited, he still frowned at that moment.
Would that skinny cat really be that generous?
"Yes. Lord Beerus definitely sent you here for that reason."
Vados's face was filled with a bright smile.
Truthfully, she had coveted Gran for a very long time already.
"...."
Gran fell silent.
To be honest, he found it difficult to accept that Beerus would truly want this.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to become Universe 6's candidate.
Rather...
The fact that Beerus himself wanted him to do it made Gran feel strangely conflicted.
After all, he belonged to Universe 7 in life and death alike.
And now Beerus wanted to push him into another universe?
Was that really appropriate?
"You say Lord Beerus sent me here for this purpose… but what's the reason?"
Gran still found it hard to believe.
Taking a deep breath, he looked toward Vados.
Vados raised one finger.
"First. Back then, Lord Champa repeatedly tried to disregard the Omni-King's orders so he could participate in your battle against Quitela."
"Lord Champa protected you to that extent. Don't tell me you weren't moved at all?"
"Of course I was."
Gran nodded firmly.
Even though he had already become a lofty divine being, he still possessed emotions and desires.
How could he possibly not be moved?
"So then…"
Vados smiled.
"Have you never thought about how to repay Lord Champa?"
Her meaning was obvious.
Beerus allowing Gran to become Universe 6's candidate was itself a form of repayment toward Champa.
"...."
Gran remained silent.
Vados raised a second finger.
"Second. Earlier, when I asked about your future plans, didn't you say that you intended to cultivate the Law of Destruction?"
"Yes."
"Good."
Vados smiled faintly.
"Then you should also understand that cultivating the Law of Destruction requires continuously destroying things."
"But have you ever considered this?"
"If you remain in Universe 7 and continue destroying only the unqualified planets there… do you realize how long it would take before your Destruction Law reached Lord Beerus's level?"
"...."
Gran subconsciously swallowed.
According to his estimates, Lord Beerus had probably lived for over two hundred million years.
And with Beerus's lazy personality, there was no way he spent every moment destroying planets.
Meaning—
At minimum, half that time should be deducted.
In other words, Beerus had likely cultivated for around one hundred million years before his Destruction Law reached the Ninth Tier.
"Judging from your expression, you've probably already figured it out yourself."
Vados looked directly at Gran.
"With your talent, my estimate is that even you would need at least ten million years to cultivate the Law of Destruction to the Ninth Level."
Gran fell silent again.
He didn't think Vados was exaggerating.
Although unqualified planets were constantly born within a universe, their numbers certainly weren't infinite.
If he remained only within Universe 7 carrying out destruction, perhaps even twenty million years wouldn't be enough.
"And the third reason…"
Vados was about to continue.
Gran's eyes widened.
"There's more?"
"Yes."
A mysterious gleam flashed through Vados's eyes.
"Do you still remember the punishment handed down by the Omni-King after the great God of Destruction Candidate Battle?"
"I remember."
Gran nodded.
"The punishment was that, aside from Universes 6 and 7, every remaining universe had to raise their mortal level average by one point within ten thousand years."
"Exactly."
Vados smiled playfully.
"Right now, every universe is desperately working to improve their mortal level average."
"And you yourself have always wanted Universe 7 to surpass Universe 1."
"No universe will simply remain stagnant."
"But if all the other universes continue improving while Universe 6 alone remains unchanged…"
"What do you think will happen to Universe 6?"
What would happen?
With the Omni-King's personality, any universe ranked at the very bottom could easily face erasure!
Cold sweat instantly poured down Champa's face.
He tightly grabbed Gran by the shoulders.
"Gran, you have to save me!"
"Alright, alright, stop shaking me!"
Being rattled around by this fat cat gave Gran a headache.
He gently pushed Champa's hands away and sank into deep thought.
Champa and Fuwa exchanged glances.
They had originally believed that, after the great Candidate Battle, they had escaped punishment entirely.
Yet in the end, they still had to improve their universe's mortal level.
After all—
No one could ever predict what the Omni-King was thinking.
"…Alright."
After thinking for a long time, Gran finally raised his head and nodded.
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
The happiness came so suddenly that Champa and Fuwa immediately hugged each other in excitement.
This was Gran they were talking about!
His strength had already surpassed every God of Destruction.
If he became Universe 6's candidate, then Universe 6 would absolutely skyrocket!
"I can become Universe 6's God of Destruction Candidate…"
Gran suddenly spoke again.
The moment he said that, Champa and the others' hearts instantly leapt into their throats.
"…However—"
"However what?!"
Champa immediately released Fuwa and anxiously asked.
"However, I still want to personally ask Lord Beerus whether this was truly the reason he sent me here."
Gran still couldn't quite let it go.
