BOOM!
This time, what erupted from Gran wasn't divine pressure—it was pure power.
The sky itself shattered beneath the overwhelming force he released.
In the original timeline, Zamasu wasn't supposed to have revealed his ambitions yet.
But now, because of Gran's existence—the butterfly effect—the course of history had veered drastically off track.
If Zamasu killed the Old Supreme Kai and Shin...
Beerus would die along with them.
After that, Gran would be forced to succeed Beerus as the God of Destruction of Universe 7, and his life would become linked to the next Supreme Kai.
That was the last thing Gran wanted.
"What happened after that?"
Gran struggled to suppress the murderous intent boiling inside him.
"Zamasu shouldn't be weak. If he'd really attacked you, neither of you should have been able to escape."
"Well..."
Still shaken by Gran's terrifying power, Shin continued,
"The first person to notice Zamasu and Primo entering Universe 7 wasn't us."
"It was Mr. Whis."
"Whis?"
"That's right."
"He discovered them first. Since he didn't want to disturb Lord Beerus's sleep, he asked us to receive the two visitors instead."
Shin continued,
"But before that, just in case, he told us to bring Broly along."
At the mention of Broly, Gran finally relaxed slightly.
No wonder the two Supreme Kais had survived despite Zamasu revealing his killing intent.
They had Broly with them.
With Broly's current strength...
Forget Zamasu.
Even Jiren would have to kneel before him.
Meanwhile, Bulma finally understood something that had puzzled her.
Back then, Broly had been on the verge of killing Vegeta, only to be taken away by Supreme Kai Shin.
So that was the reason.
"At least Whis had the foresight."
The killing intent burning in Gran's eyes only intensified.
"That man named Zamasu looked perfectly righteous on the surface..."
"But underneath, his heart was utterly rotten."
The Old Supreme Kai frowned.
"That's exactly why I couldn't shake that uneasy feeling about him."
"Your instincts were right."
"That man has always harbored malicious intentions."
Gran rolled his neck before stretching his arms.
Bulma silently nodded.
She agreed wholeheartedly.
"What are you planning to do?"
The Old Supreme Kai looked puzzled as Gran warmed up like he was preparing for a fight.
"What else?"
Gran sneered.
"I'm going to kill him."
If events had followed the original timeline, Zamasu wouldn't have revealed himself this early.
Gran wouldn't have bothered acting so soon either.
But now...
Everything had changed.
This time, Broly happened to be in Universe 7.
But what about next time?
What if Broly wasn't around?
Gran had no intention of gambling.
Nor could he afford to.
Zamasu had already shown killing intent toward the Old Supreme Kai and Shin.
If that was the case...
Why would Gran keep him alive?
"What?!"
Bulma's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Gran, are you going to kill a god?"
"Can you take me with you? I want to watch!"
Everyone: "..."
Did she really have to join every bit of excitement?
The Old Supreme Kai shot Bulma an exasperated glare before turning back to Gran.
"I only told you about this so you'd be on guard against him."
"But now you're saying you're going to kill him."
"Isn't that a bit excessive?"
Shin nodded vigorously.
"Our ancestor is right."
"Back during the Candidate God of Destruction Tournament, you could kill whoever you wanted."
"But things are different now."
"He's still a Candidate Supreme Kai."
"If you kill him—"
Before Shin could finish, Gran interrupted him.
"So what if I kill him?"
"Or are you saying Gowasu actually dares to send Rumsshi after me?"
Gran spoke with absolute confidence.
Beside him, Bulma looked at him with stars practically shining in her eyes.
"..."
The Old Supreme Kai and Shin opened their mouths, wanting to argue.
Yet neither of them could find a single word.
After Gran's life-and-death battle against Quitela, everyone knew his strength had already reached the level of an Angel.
Who would dare seek trouble with someone like him?
Still...
As Supreme Kais, they simply weren't accustomed to solving everything through killing.
Besides, Zamasu hadn't actually done anything yet.
If they killed him now and the matter reached Grand Zeno...
They would be the ones in the wrong.
"That guy is far more dangerous than you think."
Gran raised the Time Ring on his finger.
"I'm also a Time Patrol officer."
"I've personally witnessed the atrocities he's committed in other timelines."
"What did he do?"
The Old Supreme Kai and Shin asked in unison.
Gran glanced toward Bulma.
Understanding immediately, she stepped forward and explained Zamasu's Project Zero Mortals.
"What?!"
The Old Supreme Kai trembled with rage.
"I knew that brat's heart wasn't pure."
"So he was hiding something this vile all along!"
Shin gritted his teeth.
"Gran..."
"Go kill him!!"
He practically roared those words, unable to contain his anger.
"Hmph."
"He dared direct killing intent at the two of you."
"I'll kill him."
"I don't care who tries to stop me."
With a wave of his hand, a Cosmic Cube materialized in the courtyard.
Gran stepped inside and asked,
"Do you want to come watch the show?"
"Of course!"
The Old Supreme Kai grabbed Shin and immediately boarded the Cosmic Cube.
Just as Gran was about to activate it—
"Gran! What about me? I want to watch too!"
Bulma hurriedly shouted.
"I seriously don't know what to do with you."
"You really do chase after every bit of excitement, don't you?"
Although he grumbled, Gran still let his "cat caretaker" board the Cosmic Cube.
After all, he had just enjoyed a feast at her house.
It wouldn't exactly do his reputation any favors if he repaid her hospitality by abandoning her immediately afterward.
Thus...
Gran brought the three of them with him as the Cosmic Cube sped toward Universe 10.
Universe 7 — Beerus' Planet
Whis lounged comfortably on a beach chair beside the lake, watching the projected scene unfolding overhead.
He clicked his tongue.
"So that's what that fellow from Universe 10 has been hiding."
"Good thing I had Broly accompany them."
"Otherwise, this could have turned into a real disaster."
"Go ahead."
"Trash like him has no place in this world."
"Killing him is for the best."
Universe 10 — Supreme Kai World
Beneath a towering sacred tree, Zamasu calmly prepared tea for Gowasu and Rumsshi.
"So you're saying..."
"The dramatic improvement in Universe 7 is likely connected to that inter-universal martial arts tournament they held?"
Gowasu took a sip of tea.
"Yes."
Zamasu set down the teapot and sighed regretfully.
"Primo and I had already made our way to Universe 7."
"But the moment we arrived, their Supreme Kai discovered us."
"We hadn't even finished investigating the details before we were driven away."
"The Supreme Kai of Universe 7?"
Gowasu and Rumsshi immediately recalled the crafty Old Supreme Kai.
The corners of their mouths twitched.
"That old fellow certainly isn't easy to deal with."
"But didn't you say you'd already prepared a convincing excuse?"
"Why would he still drive you away?"
Gowasu set down his teacup, looking puzzled.
"Because..."
Zamasu glanced at Primo beside him.
He hesitated, stopping mid-sentence.
