"What?"
"Grandpa Gran, you're so cool!"
Pan twisted her little butt as her eyes sparkled with admiration.
Gran pretended to remain calm. "Just how cool am I?"
"Cooler than my grandpa!"
Hearing that, the red tail behind Gran lifted slightly, and he could barely suppress the grin spreading across his face.
If you had the strength, but didn't show off a little, wouldn't all that power go to waste?
Looking at Pan's adoring expression, there was only one word in Gran's heart right now...
Amazing!
"Of course I'm cooler than that Kakarot guy, right?" Gran cleared his throat twice.
As Son Goku descended, his entire face had gone as dark as the bottom of a cooking pot.
This granddaughter of mine is getting out of hand!
Vegeta, meanwhile, clutched his stomach and burst into laughter. Seeing Goku get humbled like this made him incredibly happy.
Trunks and Chronoa exchanged glances before both rubbing their foreheads.
These guys were seriously childish.
Chronoa ignored their antics and approached the several raging temporal storms. Demigra was still trapped inside them.
She mocked him, "Demigra, I bet you never imagined that you'd end up like this one day."
"Damn you, Chronoa! If you hadn't found a God of Destruction to deal with me, do you really think you could have captured me?"
Demigra was so furious that he tried to charge out of the temporal storm and attack Chronoa.
But...
Whoosh!
The temporal storm immediately swept him back into the center.
"When did I ever say Gran was a God of Destruction? Gods of Destruction aren't allowed to become Time Patrolmen. Didn't you know that?"
Chronoa hovered before the storm and spoke calmly.
"What did you say?"
Demigra steadied himself and pointed at Gran outside the storm, his expression filled with disbelief.
"If he isn't a God of Destruction, then what is he?"
"Sorry, but he really isn't a God of Destruction. He's merely a candidate."
"What?!"
Demigra's eyes widened in utter shock.
"All right, enough nonsense. Tell us why you came here."
Chronoa noticed that Demigra was still clutching that mysterious wisp of energy in his hand.
At that moment, Gran and the others also arrived in front of Demigra, although several temporal storms still separated the two sides.
"You're that powerful, yet you're only a candidate..."
Demigra stared at Gran outside the storm. He opened his mouth, but ultimately decided not to ask any further questions.
He was the prisoner now. No matter how many questions he had, these people probably wouldn't bother answering him.
"The victor becomes king, and the loser becomes the villain. Fine. I'll tell you..."
Demigra raised his right hand. The mysterious wisp of energy was still tightly clenched in his palm.
"We chose to make this place our second base entirely because of this energy."
Gran narrowed his eyes slightly.
"What does this energy do?"
"It can greatly increase a person's strength. If I absorb it, I'll definitely be able to break through from the early stage of the Fifth Realm of the Divine Realm to the Sixth Realm!"
Demigra gritted his teeth.
"If my strength reaches the Sixth Realm, Chronoa, you definitely won't be able to defeat me!"
"...?"
Everyone immediately widened their eyes.
Even Gran was intrigued by Demigra's statement.
Does that mean someone needs Sixth Realm power to defeat Chronoa?
"Sixth Realm power?"
Chronoa curled her lips disdainfully.
"Back then, even Mechikabura was sealed by me. Do you really think someone with Sixth Realm power could defeat me?"
"..."
Demigra fell silent.
He had actually forgotten about that.
Hearing their conversation, Gran was somewhat astonished. He nudged the little girl beside him.
"Chronoa, just how strong are you?"
Son Goku and the others immediately pricked up their ears as well.
Chronoa glared at the group in annoyance. She didn't reveal the extent of her strength. Instead, she turned toward Demigra and snorted.
"If this energy can make you stronger, then why haven't you absorbed it already?"
"What would absorbing it accomplish? Do you think I could use it to defeat the candidate God of Destruction standing beside you?"
Demigra laughed bitterly.
That was true.
Even if he broke through again, could he really defeat Gran?
Son Goku and the others immediately remembered the colossal Heavenly Manifestation Gran had displayed earlier, and they couldn't help shivering.
"There's one more important point."
Demigra continued, "Absorbing this mysterious energy requires you to suppress the negative emotions it brings. Only if you endure them until the very end can you achieve another breakthrough."
Gran and Chronoa exchanged a glance.
Something was wrong with Demigra.
He was telling them everything.
Wasn't he being far too cooperative?
Gran casually waved his right hand.
The temporal storms trapping Demigra instantly collapsed.
Demigra's eyes lit up at the sight.
But when he looked toward Gran, all he saw was Gran staring at him with a profound, unreadable expression.
Damn it!
Demigra had originally intended to escape.
But judging from Gran's gaze, if he dared to run now, the consequences would definitely be severe.
Gran waved his hand again, using spatial power to bring everyone before the pitch-black rift.
He pointed toward it.
"Demigra, then what's behind this?"
Everyone immediately held their breath.
This was the very edge of the GT Space-Time, yet a pitch-black rift had appeared here.
Could it pose a danger to this space-time?
Son Goku and Pan were especially concerned. They had already learned some of the secrets surrounding the GT Space-Time from the Supreme Kai.
Could this be the scar left behind by the mysterious power that once destroyed the GT Space-Time?
"I don't know."
Demigra shook his head.
"You don't know?!"
Chronoa frowned.
"If you don't know, then how did you know that those mysterious wisps of energy would appear here?"
"I really don't know. Back when you were chasing me everywhere, I accidentally stumbled into this space-time, which had neither a God of Destruction nor an Angel. Then, by pure chance, I discovered this rift."
Demigra answered honestly.
Listening to him, Gran said nothing.
He simply stared into Demigra's eyes.
He noticed that Demigra's gaze never wavered, nor did his emotions fluctuate in the slightest.
It seemed as though everything he said was the truth.
How strange.
Why was this guy being so cooperative?
"But..."
At that moment, the corners of Demigra's mouth curled upward.
"I do know that there must be some enormous secret hidden behind this rift. There might even be a power capable of making someone invincible to all under Heaven. After all, even a mere wisp of the energy leaking from it is already this terrifying!"
As soon as he finished speaking...
Gran suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Just now, I asked you something, and you answered immediately. I was wondering why you were being so cooperative."
"So that's how it is!"
