Whis: Go Talk to Father

Meanwhile, far away in the God of Destruction Realm, Whis also saw the scene of Gran clashing with Shin the God of Destruction on Planet of the Kais.

"Oh my, he actually ran into the current Lord Kai!"

"It seems they got into an argument. Are they going to fight?"

"Lord Kai against a Candidate God of Destruction—this is really interesting!"

Whis watched the scene with great interest and saw Shin the God of Destruction launch an attack on Gran.

Shin the God of Destruction existed within a Deity Level Dimension, and the aura around him was Deity's Aura.

If an ordinary person faced Deity's Aura, they would definitely be bewildered at first.

That was because mortals could not sense Divine Aura, even if Gran's Dimension had already reached the Supreme Kai Realm Peak.

Gran had not truly reached the Divine Dimension of a God of Destruction or Lord Kai, so he could not sense Shin the God of Destruction's aura either.

"What a pity!"

"Gran has lived in the God of Destruction Realm for two years. He has long since grown accustomed to Deity's Aura."

"Even without that, his state of mind has reached the Semi-No Self level. Combined with his First Stage Body Instinct, Gran can still sense your location through the Ultra Instinct Prototype state, Lord Kai!"

Whis muttered to himself.

From his observations, Lord Kai's power was twice as great as Gran's.

However, greater power did not necessarily mean victory in the end.

Gran was a Disciple Whis had taught, while Shin the God of Destruction understood nothing. Even if Shin the God of Destruction were several times stronger than Gran, he could not possibly be Gran's opponent.

This was destined to be a battle without any suspense!

In a stretch of starry sky not far from Planet Yardrat.

Shin the God of Destruction launched the first attack and vanished from sight.

"Deity's Aura? Too bad it's useless against me!"

A faint silver radiance spread across Gran's body as he entered the Ultra Instinct Prototype state!

Gran moved and vanished from sight as well.

In the unseen space, Shin the God of Destruction's fist was about to strike Gran.

Suddenly!

Gran's body dodged at an incredibly strange angle. It did not look like Gran was actively controlling his body.

Instead, it was a reaction from Body Instinct!

It was utterly outrageous!!

The next second, the distracted Shin the God of Destruction was kicked out of sight by Gran.

"How is this possible?!"

Shin the God of Destruction steadied himself from his retreat and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "How did you do that?"

"Are you referring to Deity's Aura? Or my body's instinctive reaction?" Silver light shone all around Gran's body, but he was in no hurry to attack.

"Body Instinct? How could anyone develop their Body Instinct to such an extent?!"

"Just because others can't doesn't mean I can't. I'm a Candidate God of Destruction!"

Gran crooked a finger at Shin the God of Destruction and teased, "Enough nonsense. Come again. I want to see just how strong the current Lord Kai really is."

"You..."

A wave of humiliation spread through him. Shin the God of Destruction clenched his teeth and attacked once more.

Punches, knee strikes, elbow strikes... This time, his attacks were even faster and fiercer!

Rumble—!

Shin the God of Destruction's two-billion Battle Power shook the starry sky, instantly triggering a Starry Sky Storm.

However!

Gran was like an agile little monkey. Every movement of his seemed casual, yet he effortlessly evaded every one of Shin the God of Destruction's attacks.

The longer Kibito watched, the more alarmed he became. The other side was completely overwhelming them, and he knew his Lord Kai had already lost.

Seeing that he could not even touch the other's clothes, Shin the God of Destruction flew into a rage. "If you have the guts, take one of my punches!"

"Fine, as you wish!"

Gran stopped dodging. He clenched his small fist and charged forward.

Bang!!!

Terrifying force erupted between their fists, and the surging power swept in all directions like a tsunami.

Shin the God of Destruction could feel that the other's power was inferior to his own, and a smile appeared on his face. Now you have to die!

"Hey, hey, hey, Shin, what are you thinking?"

Gran's voice suddenly reached his ears, and Shin the God of Destruction's pupils shrank.

He saw that Gran was completely unharmed and said in shock, "How is that possible? My power is so much stronger than yours. Why are you fine?"

"Why am I fine?"

Gran once again used a strange movement to redirect all of the other's force.

He took two steps back and smiled. "That's because I've always fought the giant beasts within the Sumeru World, and I've constantly sparred with Lord Beerus. My combat skills, awareness, and experience are all stronger than yours."

"..."

Shin the God of Destruction could not understand what Gran was talking about at all, but he still wanted to continue attacking.

Suddenly!

A white energy blast was pressed before him. Its scorching heat sent sharp pain through his skin.

The threat of death enveloped his entire body, and Shin the God of Destruction no longer dared to move.

"Shin, you should be grateful that you're a Lord Kai."

After saying that, Gran dispersed the energy blast in his small hand.

Shin the God of Destruction understood what Gran meant. If he were not a Lord Kai, he would have been killed long ago!

"Lord Kai, are you all right?" Kibito hurried forward.

Shin the God of Destruction shook his head. Looking at the child before him, he said dejectedly, "I... I'm no match for him!"

How laughable. The other person was so strong, yet he had actually dreamed of killing him!

"It's normal that you're no match for me. You govern creation, while I govern destruction, which happens to be the opposite of you. Battle is what we Gods of Destruction do best."

Gran continued, "Shin, I know you don't understand anything right now, but I still have to advise you: don't recreate those useless planets!"

"If Lord Beerus finds out that you want to recreate those useless planets, your fate will probably become the same as Lord Old Kai's!"

"Lord Old Kai?"

Shin the God of Destruction widened his eyes. This child had just blurted out the title of another unfamiliar person.

However...

Judging from that title, the other person was clearly also a Lord Kai—and one from an older generation.

Shin the God of Destruction felt as though his worldview were collapsing.

Wasn't he the last Lord Kai in this universe? When had another Old Kai appeared?

"You're too ignorant. Once I'm done being busy for a while, I'll go help you release Lord Old Kai!"

Seeing that Shin the God of Destruction still looked completely confused, Gran shook his head.

Without Old Kai's guidance, Shin the God of Destruction would never be able to grow.

After saying that, Gran turned and prepared to return to Planet Yardrat. As for Shin the God of Destruction remaining in the universe, he was not worried about it.

After all, the Dragon Ball story had not truly begun yet, and the universe was still very safe.

"Wait, where are you going? You aren't still planning to keep destroying planets, are you?"

"..."

The corner of Gran's mouth twitched. He could no longer be bothered with this Lord Kai who understood nothing and quickly flew back toward Planet Yardrat.

"Lord Kai, what should we do now?"

Kibito watched Gran's small retreating figure, the fear in his heart still not fading.

"I've never heard of anything he said. I don't know any God of Destruction, and I don't know any Old Kai either!"

Shin the God of Destruction felt as though his head had been stuffed with paste. Looking at Gran's small retreating figure, he continued:

"He's also very strong, but judging from the fact that he spared us, he clearly bears us no ill will. Follow him for now and see what exactly he wants to do!"

"Yes!"

God of Destruction Realm.

"The gap is simply too great. Lord Kai, how could you possibly be Gran's opponent?"

Whis lay on a beach chair, eating snacks as he watched the scene in the Crystal Ball. When he saw the end, he nodded in satisfaction again.

"Not bad, not bad. At least he knew to hold back against Lord Kai in the end."

After finishing the snacks in his hand, Whis suddenly stood up from the beach chair.

"Lord Beerus has fallen asleep again, and Gran has also left the God of Destruction Realm, so..."

"It's time to go talk to Father!"

Whis muttered to himself.

Ever since Gran told him that the Saiyan Clan had a History Book, a fragment of memory would always surface from the depths of his mind.

When he had been very, very young, he seemed to have truly heard his father mention that a Saiyan had once challenged the King of All.

But that memory was far too vague. Whis did not dare to confirm that he had remembered correctly, so this time, he intended to hear what Father had to say.

The thought lasted only an instant. Whis raised his Staff and transformed into a streak of light, shooting into the sky.

His destination was the King of All's Palace!
