Whis, Vados, Kusu, the Grand Priest, Zeno... every one of these great figures was shrouded in mystery.
And now, even the mysterious Time King had finally revealed himself.
Gran did not ask any further questions. He knew the real answer was waiting behind the rift. As long as he could reach the other side, he would naturally understand what the Time King had meant.
As for whether his power at the Angel Realm could break through that rift...
It should be possible!
Otherwise, the Time King would never have said those words to Chronoa.
"Gran, be careful when you go."
Chronoa still wanted to say something more.
But when she thought about Gran's terrifying strength, she figured... he should probably be fine, right?
Chronoa herself was extremely curious about what secrets were hidden behind the rift, so she ultimately decided not to stop him.
"Don't worry. I'll be careful. Since your strength has been greatly weakened, you shouldn't come with me."
Gran continued, "Also, if I can return within half a year, then once I get back, you can take me to eliminate Mechikabura as promised. But if I don't return within six months, then wait until I finish holding that martial arts tournament. I'll help you after that."
"Okay."
Chronoa nodded firmly.
Compared to Mechikabura, this mysterious rift was clearly more important.
Mechikabura was still sealed anyway. He couldn't escape.
At this moment, Pan gently tugged at her grandfather.
Her little face was filled with anxiety.
"Pan, what's wrong?"
"Grandpa, did you forget what Lord Elder Kai told you?"
Pan looked rather helpless.
Only then did Son Goku remember what the Elder Kai had told him.
Vegeta, however, was confused.
"What did that old geezer say?"
Gran also turned his attention toward them.
Goku explained, "Gran, Lord Elder Kai said that after you finish what you're doing, could you visit the Supreme Kai's Realm? He has something he wants to tell you."
"...I'll see if I have time after I come back."
Gran had initially been puzzled, but after hearing Goku's explanation, he roughly guessed what this was about.
Back then, he had asked Goku to return and ask the Elder Kai whether he knew Beerus and Whis. Goku had later told him that the Elder Kai indeed knew them.
Apparently, the Elder Kai of this timeline had learned of Gran's identity at that time.
And now he was asking Gran to visit the Supreme Kai's Realm of this space-time.
That Elder Kai probably wanted to tell him some of the secrets surrounding the disappearance of the Gods of Destruction and Angels.
But...
Even Chronoa didn't know about those matters.
How much could that old geezer really know?
"You all move farther away."
As he said this, Gran looked at Goku and Vegeta.
"I know you want to see my true strength. So let me show you what the power of the Angel Realm is really like."
Goku and Vegeta's eyes immediately lit up.
They hurriedly pulled Pan and Trunks farther away.
Chronoa also quickly moved to a safe distance.
Once Gran saw that everyone had retreated far enough, he flew directly in front of the rift and began loosening his muscles.
His bones cracked with a series of crack, crack sounds.
"Whoo!"
He let out a heavy breath and glanced back at everyone one last time.
Then...
Vooooom!!!
Golden light suddenly erupted from Gran's body.
Red fur sprouted across his muscles, while the brown tail behind him also turned crimson.
The power of the Angel Realm emerged from Gran's body.
This time, he didn't deliberately restrain it.
He allowed it to erupt without restriction.
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
Space-time trembled.
Heaven and earth seemed to reverse.
It was as if chaos itself had just begun to split apart.
The sight alone made everyone's scalp tingle.
"This... what kind of power is this?!"
Son Goku's heart pounded violently.
"Retreat! If we stay here, we'll die!"
Vegeta's expression changed drastically.
"Lord Time-King Goddess, you're fast! Hurry up and get us out of here!"
Pan screamed at the top of her lungs.
Chronoa didn't hesitate.
She immediately took everyone and retreated.
After they had traveled who knew how many light-years away...
"No, we need to go farther!"
"Lord Time-King Goddess, this distance is still too close!"
"Enough! I know!"
"..."
After retreating countless more light-years, the oppressive force radiating from Gran finally became somewhat bearable.
The group hovered in the void.
Son Goku covered his heart with his right hand.
"No wonder Demigra gave up earlier. So he sensed the pressure of this kind of power!"
Vegeta also remembered the gigantic phantom Gran had manifested earlier.
His teeth were trembling.
"Forget Demigra! Even I wouldn't have the courage to keep resisting against this!"
Pan stared intensely in Gran's direction before swallowing nervously.
"Grandpa, Gran Grandpa is really terrifying. Thank goodness you didn't make him angry earlier."
Son Goku: "..."
Seeing Goku's aggrieved expression, everyone burst into laughter.
The oppressive atmosphere became considerably more relaxed.
The next second...
Everyone's expressions changed again.
"Not good! Gran's pressure has become even stronger! We're still too close! Run!"
"Lord Time-King Goddess, please!"
"Shut up!"
"..."
Meanwhile, Gran...
Gran had transformed into Super Saiyan 4 and was hovering in front of the rift.
Golden light radiated from his entire body, while countless arcs of electricity danced around him.
Every time one of those arcs flashed, the surrounding edge of space-time trembled.
Under the attraction of his immense power, countless space-time storms raged violently around him.
Accompanied by world-destroying thunder, Gran's figure appeared especially majestic.
Gran's current state was:
Super Saiyan 4 + Ultra Instinct + Divine Dimension.
This was his peak state.
His pure physical power had reached the Early First Stage of the Angel Realm.
CRACK!!!
The power radiating from Gran became terrifying.
Just the energy leaking from his body was enough to cause cracks to appear throughout the surrounding space-time.
Yet the mysterious rift in front of him remained completely unchanged.
"My power still isn't enough!"
Although this was his peak state, it wasn't his strongest possible power.
Gran clenched both fists and bent his body forward, veins bulging across his forehead.
BOOM!!!
Golden light continued to radiate from his body.
But now, a faint red glow began to mix with it.
Gran had added Godly Power.
The moment Godly Power merged with Ultra Instinct, another phantom appeared behind him.
The phantom began expanding rapidly.
Ten meters!
One hundred meters!
...
One hundred thousand meters!
This time, Gran's Heavenly Manifestation was ten times larger than before.
"Still not enough!!"
BOOM!!!
Golden and red light intertwined.
Then, two more colors appeared...
Purple.
And silver-white.
These were the powers of Destruction and Space-Time!
Godly Power, the Destruction Laws, and Space-Time Power...
This time, Gran infused every power he possessed into his body.
"It should be enough now!"
Gran's gaze became frighteningly sharp.
This was the first time he had unleashed every power he possessed simultaneously.
He could feel it.
Right now, he was terrifyingly strong.
"Then..."
Gran stared fixedly at the mysterious rift.
He bent his body forward and raised his right fist.
Behind him, his enormous Heavenly Manifestation mirrored his every movement.
"BREAK!!!"
Gran's right fist shot forward!
At the same moment, his Heavenly Manifestation also threw its fist forward.
Two enormous fists slammed into the mysterious rift.
Gran had unleashed every power at his disposal.
With all those forces reinforcing his attack, the might of these two punches reached.
Peak First Stage of the Angel Realm!!
BOOOOOOM!!!
Space exploded.
Time froze.
The entire section of space-time where Gran stood shattered instantly.
He completely entered the Space-Time Gap.
The originally pitch-black world transformed into a silver-white expanse.
Back then, Gran had once returned to the true past with Chronoa to investigate the matter concerning the demons.
At that time, he had also entered the Space-Time Gap.
Yet inside the Space-Time Gap, he couldn't find where the demons had come from.
That had led him to wonder...
Could the demons have come from Chaos itself?
Now, after throwing those two punches, he still lacked the power to completely break through the Space-Time Gap.
However...
That mysterious rift was still hanging inside the Space-Time Gap.
That was extremely intriguing.
And during Gran's two previous punches, the mysterious rift had actually undergone a slight change.
It seemed to have expanded somewhat.
"Hm? It worked!"
Gran's eyes lit up.
After the mysterious rift changed, he could even sense a faint trace of energy seeping out from within.
And that aura was exactly the same as the mysterious aura Demigra had previously held in his hand.
"Then let's do it again!"
Gran threw another punch.
His Heavenly Manifestation followed suit.
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
Every punch generated terrifying winds.
Supreme power rampaged in all directions.
The Space-Time Gap trembled.
World-destroying thunder rolled across the void.
Endless waves of energy surged outward one after another.
Under the barrage of these attacks, the mysterious rift changed again.
More and more of that strange aura began seeping out.
Gran became even more enthusiastic.
He repeatedly hammered his fists against the mysterious rift.
PSSSHHH!!!
The rift was like a punctured balloon.
The energy within it began gushing out wildly.
Gran was instantly enveloped by the strange aura.
According to Demigra, if this energy were absorbed, it could cause one's strength to skyrocket.
However, it also carried a negative force.
Only those who could endure the torment caused by that negative force could obtain the benefits.
Gran carefully sensed the sinister, icy aura surrounding him.
He did not recklessly absorb it into his body.
Even so, he could already feel that the aura was capable of affecting a person's emotions.
If someone absorbed too much...
They might completely lose their reason and become a monster.
"A monster?"
Gran froze.
He suddenly remembered those demons.
Those demons possessed the same black smoke surrounding their bodies.
Once that black smoke was removed, their true forms would be revealed...
Strange white skeletons.
"Could absorbing too much of this aura eventually turn someone into that skeletal form?"
Gran swallowed nervously.
He immediately isolated himself from the surrounding aura.
Then he looked around.
The Space-Time Gap had originally been silver-white.
But under the influence of this aura, it had already turned pitch-black.
"This black aura can make someone's strength skyrocket. If someone with a weak will came here, they would definitely be unable to resist absorbing it."
Gran shook his head slightly.
His willpower was extraordinary.
He didn't even care about the wishes granted by the Super Dragon Balls.
How could he possibly care about this filthy aura that was disgusting enough to make someone vomit?
"Looks like that's about enough."
The rift was growing larger and larger.
Gran narrowed his eyes.
The power radiating from his body became increasingly terrifying.
The final punch!!!
BOOOOOOM!!!
Chaos itself seemed to be annihilated as heaven and earth were born anew.
A flash of white light streaked across the void.
Then...
CRACK!!!
The mysterious rift finally shattered.
WHOOSH!!!
A massive torrent of energy surged out from within.
Foul.
Evil.
Cold.
The stench was almost like that of a sewer.
"That's it! There's no mistake!"
Gran's heart pounded violently.
After the rift, which had been over a hundred meters long, shattered, it left behind a massive opening of the same size.
Gran did not recklessly rush inside.
Instead, he remained outside the opening and carefully observed it.
After a while...
Aside from the foul, evil aura continuously drifting out, nothing else emerged.
"Strange."
Gran frowned.
Based on his original assumption, the other side of the rift was very likely the demons' lair.
But the current situation made him question his own theory.
"What exactly is hidden in there?"
Gran continued observing for a while.
He still couldn't detect any unusual movement inside the opening.
Although nothing strange was happening within the opening, there was one thing he noticed—
The opening was shrinking!
"Not good!"
Gran's eyes narrowed.
The situation was similar to shattered space.
The broken space would gradually heal itself.
If he didn't enter now, this opening would eventually return to its original state.
"Should I go in?"
Gran hesitated for only a second before making his decision.
Go in.
His original plan had been to reach the other side of the rift and uncover whatever secrets were hidden there.
So...
Gran stepped into the opening with one foot.
The instant his foot entered, an extremely cold chill spread upward from it.
Gran's heart jolted.
He was already a god.
And with the terrifying power he possessed, he could actually feel cold?
However, after circulating his divine aura, the chill quickly disappeared.
That was a relief.
Otherwise, he might have been forced to retreat before even entering.
This time, Gran no longer hesitated.
He walked completely into the opening.
...
GT Space-Time — Supreme Kai's Realm
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
The entire world trembled.
The Elder Kai and Kibito Kai clung tightly to each other, their entire bodies shaking.
"Ancestor, what exactly is happening?"
Kibito Kai's voice trembled.
"This... this is a divine aura. This aura is terrifying!"
The Elder Kai stared toward the sky.
"It should be that Gran Goku mentioned. He must be fighting Demigra."
Just then...
A spatial rift suddenly appeared nearby.
Several figures emerged from within.
They were Chronoa and the others.
