"Don't worry. He can withstand it."
Gran shook his head slightly.
Although Destruction Energy was said to be an unstoppable force, it was not truly invincible.
Take Son Goku and Frieza from the anime, for example. Both of them were capable of withstanding the erosion of Destruction Energy.
Of course, the Destruction Energy in the anime had been bestowed by the God of Destruction, Sidra, and it was not particularly powerful.
Gran had also deliberately held back and had not unleashed the full power of his Second-Stage Destruction Law.
With Gogeta possessing the power of the Peak Sixth Stage of the Divine Realm, Gran's Destruction Energy would not cause him any serious harm. Aside from the sheer pain, that was.
Sure enough!
It did not take long before Gogeta let out a low grunt. His arms slowly drew toward his chest, and eventually, the mass of Destruction Energy covering his body was compressed back into the center of his hands.
"Haa... haa..."
Gogeta panted heavily as he stared at the purple sphere in his hands.
"I almost got tortured to death by that power!"
Seeing that Gogeta was fine, Pan and Trunks both breathed a sigh of relief.
Chronoa also knew that the sparring match had come to an end now that Pan and the others had intervened.
She flew over and teased him.
"Well? Do you understand the gap between you and Gran now?"
"Yeah."
Gogeta had just nodded when his body suddenly flashed with light.
He had consumed too much energy, and his Fusion Time had finally run out.
"Pop!"
Son Goku was ejected from the fusion and looked at Gran with a dejected expression.
"You transformed into Super Saiyan 4 when you killed Demigra, but when you sparred with us, you actually stayed in your base form! That's way too unfair!"
Vegeta had lost all of his previous confidence. He muttered gloomily,
"And earlier, you even used that ten-thousand-meter-tall phantom, yet you didn't even bother using it against us."
The two of them fell silent once again.
Seeing their dejected expressions, Trunks and Pan exchanged glances.
They knew their elders had been hit hard this time.
"All right. I've seen the power of your Fusion..."
Gran's voice drew everyone's attention.
The disappointment on Goku and Vegeta's faces instantly disappeared, replaced by anticipation as they stared at Gran.
They had fused precisely because they wanted to accompany Gran to investigate what lay behind the mysterious rift.
They just didn't know whether they were strong enough to qualify.
Gran thought for a moment before calmly saying,
"You should all go back. I'll investigate what's behind the rift by myself."
Although Gogeta's power had certainly surprised him, it was still not enough to qualify.
Unless Gogeta could reach a level comparable to Quitela.
But judging from their sparring match just now...
Gogeta could probably defeat Sidra, the God of Destruction. He might even be able to fight Belmod on equal terms.
But compared to the likes of Champa and the stronger Gods of Destruction, there was still a considerable gap.
"Gran, we really can't go with you?"
The anticipation in Son Goku's eyes had once again turned into unwillingness.
"No. You're too weak. Unless you want to die."
Gran shook his head.
He had no idea what kind of danger lay behind that mysterious rift, but one thing was certain—it was definitely not simple.
Not only was Gogeta's strength insufficient, but his Fusion also had a time limit.
If Gran brought them along, they would only become liabilities.
"Grandpa, Gran already said you shouldn't go. So please don't!"
Pan hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Dad, with Uncle Gran there, he'll definitely investigate everything. You shouldn't go either!"
Trunks was worried that his father would stubbornly insist on following Gran.
Chronoa also joined in.
"Goku, Vegeta, I won't be going with Gran this time either. So you two shouldn't go."
Goku and Vegeta exchanged glances.
They were still too weak...
"All right. We won't go."
What else could they do?
In the end, both of them could only sigh.
Hearing this, Pan and Trunks immediately breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Their elders really were impossible to reassure.
"Gran, how are you planning to investigate it?"
Chronoa was the one who asked.
The mysterious rift was far too strange. She didn't have the slightest clue about it and had no idea where they should even begin their investigation.
"Obviously, I'll find a way to get behind the rift."
Gran had already tried using his temporal-spatial powers.
However, he discovered that he could only leave this boundary of space-time and travel to another timeline. He had no way of actually reaching the "other side" of the rift.
It was extremely strange.
"Temporal-spatial power can only jump to another space-time. It can't take you behind the rift."
"No problem. I'll try using pure physical power later."
The moment Gran said this, Chronoa was rendered speechless.
"You mean... you're going to use the power of the Angel Realm to smash it apart?"
The power of the Angel Realm was already capable of shattering space-time.
Just like when Gran had killed Quitela earlier, the sheer force of his attack had accidentally pierced through space-time itself.
Goku and the others' pupils contracted slightly.
They seemed to have heard something about the power of the Angel Realm.
Could that be the realm of power Gran currently possessed?
"Exactly. Although I don't know whether my power will actually be able to pierce through it."
"Wait!"
Chronoa pressed a hand against her forehead, her expression filled with helplessness.
Gran frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you know what the consequences of doing that would be?"
"..."
Gran fell silent.
Of course he knew.
If his power really could shatter that mysterious rift, then he would indeed be able to reach whatever lay behind it.
But if the other side of the rift was the lair of those demons, then what he was doing would be equivalent to destroying the barrier imprisoning them.
Once the demons broke through and poured out...
The GT Space-Time would suffer a catastrophe.
"So what should we do?"
Gran was at a loss as well.
It wasn't that he wanted to meddle in other people's affairs.
Rather, he simply had an ominous feeling whenever it came to those demons.
That was why, after discovering clues about them, he wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.
"Why don't we just forget ab—"
Chronoa was just about to persuade Gran to drop the matter when her little ears suddenly twitched.
Her eyes instantly sharpened.
"What's wrong?"
Gran narrowed his eyes slightly.
The little girl's expression was clearly strange.
"Nothing. Go ahead."
Chronoa shook her head.
"?????"
Including Son Goku and the others, all five of them stared at her with their eyes wide open.
Anyone who wasn't an idiot could tell from Chronoa's reaction that something had happened.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Gran looked at her meaningfully.
Chronoa thought for a moment.
Then she glanced at Goku and the others before finally saying,
"It was Lord Time King!"
The moment those words fell...
"What?!"
Everyone's bodies trembled.
Gran had never expected that the mysterious Time King had actually been paying attention to him.
Goku and the others were equally shocked.
As Time Patrol members, they naturally understood what kind of existence the Time King was.
"What did Lord Time King say?"
Gran clenched his fists.
"Lord Time King said that it would be good for you to know a little more."
"Is that all he said? Nothing else?"
"Nope."
"..."
Gran was instantly covered in black lines.
What the hell was that supposed to mean?!
