• Jiren said he had killed a Demon and offered to show Gran around, but he planned to return to the God of Destruction Realm to seek answers.
• Gran guessed that Jiren had entered the Candidate God of Destruction Battle Royale in exchange for information about the Demons, and Jiren confirmed Belmod had reneged on the deal.

• Gran invited Jiren into the Universe Travel Cube and headed for the Universe 11 God of Destruction Realm, leaving Toppo and the other Pride Troopers behind.
• During the journey, Jiren told Gran he did not hate him for killing him, since entering the arena meant accepting its consequences.

Gran, Bulma, and Jiren arrived in Universe 11, where Jiren pressed Belmod for answers about the demons that had killed his master. Belmod emerged and faced Jiren’s challenge, while Marcarita and Bulma prepared to watch; the chapter ended before the fight began.

• Belmod emerged from the palace and angrily confronted Jiren, while Bulma and Marcarita took sunflower seeds to watch the impending fight.

Jiren challenged Belmod to test himself against a true God of Destruction, and their fight showed that Jiren’s greater raw power could not easily overcome Belmod’s divine techniques and mastery of destruction. As Jiren pressed the attack, Gran asked Marcarita about the demons, and she began revealing that their appearances differed between universes.

• Bulma and Marcarita watched as Jiren challenged Belmod, and Belmod dodged Jiren’s stronger attacks while countering with divine techniques.
• Jiren activated Ultra Ego, raised his power, and landed a Destruction attack on Belmod, but Belmod emerged unharmed and revealed that Jiren’s Destruction Power was too weak to threaten him.
• Jiren resumed close combat, where his greater strength competed with Belmod’s superior combat experience.
• Gran asked Marcarita why Belmod would not explain the demons’ origins, and Marcarita asked how often demons appeared in Universe 7 and Universe 11.

Gran learned that Belmod discovered demons came from behind The Void by manipulating time, while Belmod defeated Jiren but concealed much of his strength.

• Belmod returned to the palace to train, while Marcarita decided not to report his time manipulation and wondered what was hidden beyond the Rift.

After learning how to release his hidden power, Gohan unleashed a transformation that reached 50 Billion Battle Power before his aura settled into a calm, black-haired form.

• Gran and Bulma decided to take advanced technology from Universe 1, but a red-skinned alien exposed them as outsiders and called for help.
• Lasa arrived and threatened Gran, who crushed the Divine Realm Second Tier expert to death before escaping with Bulma.

• Gran told Bulma that the lifeforms on the planet had a Dimension that had reached the Heavenly God Level.

Gran and Bulma explored Universe 1, where Gran learned that Golden Fruit could raise a being’s Dimension and decided to take some back to Universe 7. After Gran defeated Lambert, they found a tree laden with the fruit, while Iwan pursued them.

• Gran and Bulma encountered powerful animal beings by a lake, and Lambert, Universe 1’s Candidate God of Destruction, recognized Gran and greeted him respectfully.
• Lambert told Gran that the animals had gained their strength and Dimensions by eating a special fruit, which had also raised Lambert’s Dimension to King Yama level.
• Gran announced he intended to steal some fruit for Universe 7, but Lambert refused to let him take it and challenged him to protect Universe 1.
• Gran overwhelmed Lambert with a punch, then took Bulma and fled as Iwan pursued them.
• Gran and Bulma found a towering tree bearing Golden Fruit, and Gran sensed dimensional fluctuations coming from the fruit.

Gran stole Universe 1’s Dimensional Fruits and tested their ability to strengthen Dimensions before raiding its technology databases with Bulma. When Iwan caught up, Gran used the threat of destroying the data to stop him, and Iwan explained that the Dimensional Fruit Tree had helped Universe 1 surpass Universe 12’s Mortal Level Index.

• Gran collected every Dimensional Fruit from Universe 1’s tree and left before Iwan arrived, while Lambert told Iwan that Gran had taken them all.
• Gran told Bulma he had spared the tree to avoid making Iwan a mortal enemy, then discovered that Dimensional Fruits could strengthen a person’s Dimension and gave one to Bulma.
• Gran and Bulma continued plundering Universe 1, copying a planet’s technology databases while Gran examined a Fate Observation Correction Device that later exploded.
• Iwan, Lambert, and Awamo arrived at the Data Center, but Gran stopped Iwan by threatening to destroy its data.
