...
Only now did Son Goku and the others finally understand. No wonder this little girl always needed someone else to help her.
"Why did you suddenly ask about that?" Chronoa asked, her brows tightly furrowed.
"Nothing. I was just satisfying my curiosity. Oh, right…"
Gran began stretching his arms and legs, his eyes fixed firmly on the mysterious crack.
"I originally promised to help you eliminate Mechikabura, but let's put that on hold for now."
Chronoa immediately understood what Gran meant. Her eyes widened.
"You want to go to the other side of the crack? It could be extremely dangerous!"
Gran's sudden decision also caught Son Goku and the others off guard.
"Gran, I want to go too! Take me with you!" Son Goku exclaimed excitedly.
"Gran, me too! I'm going!" Vegeta's entire body trembled with excitement.
Excited? Thrilled?
Gran turned around and looked at the two of them.
He could understand why Son Goku was excited. Most likely, the guy simply wanted to fight even more powerful opponents.
As for Vegeta…
He was probably interested in the power Demigra had mentioned.
"You're too weak. I don't want to bring a couple of deadweights with me."
Gran curled his lips.
Son Goku and Vegeta: "..."
If anyone else had called them weak, they would have been furious.
But the one saying it was Gran.
Even if they wanted to argue, they simply had no grounds to do so.
How frustrating!
Vegeta took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
"I admit that I'm not as strong as you, but don't look down on me!"
"What are you planning to do?"
Gran's tone carried a meaningful edge.
Vegeta's entire body stiffened.
Gran's gaze was frighteningly sharp. For a moment, Vegeta felt as though Gran had seen straight through every thought in his mind.
Vegeta exchanged a glance with Son Goku.
Son Goku nodded.
"Grandpa… Dad, what are you two planning?"
Pan and Trunks were confused by their strange behavior.
"Gran, I know I can't beat you on my own, but what if we fuse?" Vegeta raised his chin proudly.
The moment he said those words, an image flashed through Pan and Trunks' minds.
Gogeta!!
During the Shadow Dragon crisis, if not for Son Goku's playful nature getting in the way, Gogeta could have absolutely annihilated Super Omega Shenron with a single move.
The image of Gogeta as an invincible warrior had long been engraved in their minds.
Perhaps…
Perhaps Gogeta really could...
"Vegeta, just shut up."
Chronoa pressed a hand against her forehead.
These two fools had absolutely no idea what kind of monster they were dealing with.
"Even if you fuse, you still won't be able to beat Gran."
"Huh?"
Son Goku and Vegeta immediately widened their eyes.
Gran had never actually stated the full extent of his strength.
He had only said that he was going to eliminate Mechikabura.
Judging from the Destruction power Gran had displayed earlier, Son Goku and Vegeta believed that after fusing, they would most likely be able to withstand that purple Destruction energy.
As for Demigra...
If Demigra didn't have that black ring, they firmly believed that their fused form could definitely kill him.
That was why they thought that after fusing, they should at least be capable of fighting Gran.
"You two have absolutely no idea what a God of Destruction is. You know even less about Gran's strength."
Chronoa sighed.
"Forget one Gogeta. Even if you had ten more Gogetas, Gran could still deal with all of them with a single punch!"
Just ask Quitela how terrifying Angel-level power was.
Gran had killed Quitela with a single punch after Quitela had reached the peak of the Seventh Stage of the Divine Realm.
He had even shattered space-time with another punch.
In other words, that level of power was already beyond the realm of mortals.
Even Gods of Destruction could only look up to it.
Perhaps Gogeta could one day defeat a genuine God of Destruction.
But he absolutely could not defeat an Angel.
And Gran was already more or less at the level of an Angel.
"This…"
Son Goku and Vegeta staggered slightly.
Gogeta and Vegito were their strongest trump cards.
Among all the bosses they had faced in the past, none had possessed power comparable to those two fusion warriors.
That was precisely why they had become so blindly confident in fusion.
But Chronoa had just shattered their fantasy right to their faces.
"Fusion?"
Gran suddenly became interested.
"Then let me see the power you possess after fusing. If you have what it takes, perhaps I'll let you come with me into that crack."
Gran had been in the Dragon Ball world for quite some time, but he had never actually seen a fusion warrior before.
"Fine. Then I'll show you the power we possess after fusion!"
Vegeta gritted his teeth.
His reaction surprised Son Goku.
Vegeta hated fusing with him, yet this time he had actually taken the initiative to suggest it.
But…
Son Goku naturally wouldn't refuse.
He also wanted to see whether their fusion could truly stand against Gran.
The two quickly retreated a distance and stood opposite each other.
Pan and Trunks looked on expectantly.
Chronoa, meanwhile, sighed.
Apparently, only a good lesson could make these two understand the difference between mortals and Angels.
"Get on with it. Don't waste my time."
Gran urged them forward.
Son Goku and Vegeta exchanged a glance.
Then they began performing the Fusion Dance of the Metamoran people.
"Fuuuuuu-sion!"
The Fusion Dance was rather strange, but the movements of Son Goku and Vegeta were perfectly synchronized.
Hands raised.
Knee lifted.
Waist bent…
Fingertips touched.
The entire sequence flowed together flawlessly!
"Here it comes!"
Gran became slightly excited.
He didn't believe Gogeta's power could surpass his own, but this was the ultimate fusion warrior!
BOOM!
A rainbow-colored radiance suddenly erupted ahead of them.
The light soared more than a hundred meters into the air, illuminating the pitch-black space-time boundary around them.
The instant the dazzling light appeared, an immense force exploded from its center.
That power roared outward like an endless tide!
"Peak… Sixth Stage of the Divine Realm?!"
Gran was genuinely surprised.
He knew that the fusion of Son Goku and Vegeta, the two protagonists, would be terrifying.
But he had never expected them to reach the peak of the Sixth Stage of the Divine Realm!
Champa's power was only at the early Sixth Stage!
Of course, this didn't mean Gogeta was stronger than Champa and could therefore defeat him.
In battle, raw power wasn't everything.
For example, in Universe 11, Belmod's strength was inferior to Jiren's in terms of pure power.
But if it were a battle to the death, Jiren absolutely wouldn't be able to defeat Belmod.
However…
The fact that Gogeta's pure power had reached the peak of the Sixth Stage was enough to demonstrate just how terrifying he was.
And he had inherited the martial arts of both Son Goku and Vegeta.
His martial arts realm had to be equally frightening.
Perhaps some of the weaker Gods of Destruction wouldn't even be his match anymore.
"So… so cool!"
Pan's round little eyes sparkled brightly.
Trunks was equally excited.
"We finally get to see Gogeta again!"
Chronoa was surprised.
"I didn't expect Gogeta to have grown this much after all these years!"
Gran stared intently at the figure wearing the familiar vest.
Finally, he squeezed out a comment.
"He really is pretty cool."
"Gran, here I come!"
A rainbow-colored streak of light shot across the space-time boundary.
Its speed was faster than lightning.
The tremendous velocity stirred up a terrifying space-time storm, with countless blades of distorted space-time scattering in every direction.
The sight was enough to make anyone's heart tremble.
"Then come at me."
Gran wore a broad smile as he rapidly flew forward.
However, halfway there, his form suddenly changed.
The Super Saiyan 4 transformation covering his body vanished, and he returned to his normal state.
His power also dropped to the early Sixth Stage of the Divine Realm.
Normal form should be enough.
Otherwise, people might accuse him of bullying them.
One rainbow-colored streak of light came from the left.
A white streak of light came from the right.
The two charged toward each other.
Then...
They collided!
BOOM!!!
It was like the birth of a universe.
Terrifying power swept across the entire area, causing the entire space-time boundary to tremble violently.
The shockwaves from their collision tore through the surrounding space-time.
Even time itself seemed to freeze for three seconds.
"Hahaha! Gran, how do you like my power?!"
Gogeta's fist collided directly with Gran's.
"You're actually pretty impressive."
Gran had exchanged only a single blow with Gogeta, yet he immediately sensed the terrifying instincts embedded within his opponent's body.
This guy's physical instincts had actually reached the peak of the Fourth Stage!
As expected of the strongest fusion warrior in Dragon Ball!
But that made sense.
The timeline of the GT world was extremely far ahead.
Son Goku and Vegeta had already experienced countless battles, and their physical instincts had originally reached the Third Stage.
Son Goku's physical instincts, in particular, had reached the peak of the Third Stage.
Now that the two had fused…
How could the resulting warrior not be terrifying?
"Let's see you look down on me now!"
Gogeta's physical instincts were frightening.
His combat techniques and battle awareness were even more terrifying.
As he pulled his fist back, he effortlessly redirected the force from Gran's punch.
Then...
He targeted Gran's weak point and threw another punch.
Fast.
Brutal.
Precise.
The strike was so sharp that even Gran seemed momentarily caught off guard.
He could only hurriedly raise his arm to block.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Flesh collided with flesh!
The two engaged in brutal close-quarters combat.
They fought from left to right, from above to below.
Compared to Gogeta's clean and decisive movements, Gran appeared somewhat scrambled.
"So fast! I can't see anything!"
Pan used both index fingers to pry her little eyes open as wide as possible.
But even then, she couldn't see their movements.
All she could hear were the terrifying shockwaves of their battle.
"Lady Chronoa, can you see them?"
Trunks was anxious.
He couldn't see them either.
"I can."
Chronoa nodded.
"This is a battle at the level of a Candidate God of Destruction. Of course I can still follow it."
She narrowed her eyes.
That brat Gran really knew how to put on an act.
"Then can you make it so we can see them too?" Pan and Trunks asked simultaneously.
"I'll try."
Although Chronoa was a Supreme Kai, she was nothing like the useless figureheads among ordinary Supreme Kais.
She possessed all kinds of magic, as well as the power of space-time.
She should be able to use the power of time to slow the images down.
Chronoa waved her little hand.
Soon, a gigantic slow-motion image of the battle appeared in the sky.
"My god! Gogeta can actually beat Uncle Gran!"
Seeing Gran's seemingly scrambled movements, Trunks became extremely excited.
"Aw, but Grandpa Gran is so handsome! Why is he losing?"
Pan looked utterly disappointed.
Trunks:
"..."
Which side are you even on?
Chronoa couldn't listen to this any longer.
She calmly said, "Have you two forgotten something?"
"Gran has been fighting Gogeta in his normal state from beginning to end."
"What?!"
Looking at the battle displayed in the sky, Trunks and Pan finally realized it.
Their eyes widened.
Right.
When Gran killed Demigra, he had transformed into Super Saiyan 4.
Yet now, while facing an even stronger Gogeta…
He was fighting in his normal state?
Was he insane?!
"There's something else. Don't tell me you actually think Gogeta can defeat Gran in his normal state."
Chronoa shook her head.
"I'll tell you the truth. Gogeta definitely can't beat even Gran's normal state."
"Gran is merely putting on an act for you."
"What?!"
On the other side.
WHOOSH!
Gogeta twisted his body.
His entire body began rotating at an astonishing speed, moving from left to right like a spinning bullet.
SHRRRIP!!!
The power of the peak Sixth Stage of the Divine Realm tore through space-time.
Terrifying ripples spread across the void like the beginning of an apocalypse.
BOOM!!
Gogeta finally slammed into Gran's chest.
Gran spun around and was sent flying.
"Dragon Fist—Explosion!!!!"
Gogeta didn't stop.
He clenched his right fist, pouring the power of his entire body into it.
Golden light instantly blossomed around his fist.
ROAR!!!!!!!
A gigantic golden dragon suddenly emerged in the space-time boundary.
It roared.
It howled.
It circled through the air once before rapidly chasing after Gran.
One hundred meters!
Fifty meters!
...
One meter!
The enormous dragon head slammed viciously into Gran's abdomen once again.
The power behind the attack surpassed the peak Sixth Stage of the Divine Realm.
It had actually reached the early Seventh Stage of the Divine Realm!!!
The terrifying shockwaves spread outward like waves capable of annihilating the world, one crashing over another.
"So… so terrifying!"
Pan's little face had gone pale with fear.
Trunks clenched his fists tightly.
"Dragon Fist Explosion is one of Uncle Goku's signature techniques! It actually reached this level!"
"Uncle Gran is still fighting in his normal state, too. Is Uncle Gran really that terrifying?"
"We need to leave this place first, otherwise we'll die!"
Trunks still wanted to stay and watch, but the apocalyptic shockwaves were already surging toward them.
He grabbed Pan and quickly fled the space-time boundary.
Chronoa didn't dare remain there either and followed them away.
With no one else around, Gogeta's attacks became even more vicious.
"Super Massive Kamehameha!!!!"
A sphere of blue light illuminated the pitch-black space-time boundary.
In the next instant, it transformed into a gigantic blue beam.
Compressing.
Condensing.
Gogeta's muscles tensed as he poured all his strength into the attack and thrust both hands forward.
BOOOOM!!!
The Super Massive Kamehameha instantly struck Gran.
At that moment, it was as though chaos itself had been extinguished.
The entire world seemed to lose its color.
