Under the great tree, everyone's faces were lit with joy. Gran had successfully comprehended Destruction—this was a monuntal blessing for the entire Seventh Universe.
"The feeling of Destruction, huh?"
Gran reached for a divine fruit from the table. He recalled Beerus' iconic one-handed posture when unleashing Destruction.
So he imitated Beerus, raised one hand, and murmured:
"Destruction."
However
Things didn't go quite as he imagined. With a loud bang, the fruit exploded, spraying juice in every direction.
Beerus and Whis, who had prepared for this chaos in advance, nimbly dodged to the side.
But…
The Old Supre Kai, Shin, and the still-munching little Broly weren't so lucky. Juice splattered all over them.
Old Supre Kai and the others: "..."
Little Broly tilted his head. "G-Gran big brother… why did you attack …?"
"Sorry, sorry!"
Gran scratched his cheek in embarrassnt. He just wanted to try that feeling of Destruction again.
He didn't expect it to fail so miserably.
Beerus plopped back into his chair and rolled his eyes.
"Destruction is a process of turning 'sothing' into 'nothing.' You just barely comprehended it—of course your control is unstable. Use it more, and you'll stop having accidents like this."
"I know."
Gran wasn't discouraged. He understood his own situation clearly.
He looked at his hands. "As for the feeling… It's incredibly domineering!"
It was unlike his raw physical power, and unlike his ki blasts.
It was… sothing that couldn't be described with words.
"This power belongs exclusively to a God of Destruction. Naturally, it's dominant," Whis said, pouring tea for everyone. "When a Destroyer God performs cosmic cleansing, this is the power they rely on."
"But…"
"You've only just grasped Destruction. Forget 'rule level'—you're not even considered to have reached the entry stage."
"Only when you practice and can wield it skillfully will you step into the true beginning of Destruction Rules."
So that's how it was.
Gran rembered Vegeta's training in the manga.
He used to wonder—this power belonged to Destroyer Gods, so why did Vegeta look so weak while using it?
Turns out Vegeta back then hadn't even reached the entry level. He only had the effect of Destruction, nothing more.
Whis took a sip of tea. "But don't worry. Since you've grasped Destruction itself, reaching the First Stage of Rules won't take long."
"That's exactly right," the Old Supre Kai said with a hearty laugh. "With your talent, entering the rule level is only a matter of ti. And to comprehend Destruction in just three days—that is insanely impressive."
Beerus lifted his chin proudly. "Of course—look at who his ntor is."
Hearing all these complints, Gran felt awkward.
Were these people exaggerating too much?
"Don't think we're bragging," the Old Supre Kai said, as if reading his mind. He lifted his chin. "By now, the other universes' candidates should also be trying to comprehend Destruction. But do you think any of them could do it as fast as you?"
"Pah. Useless trash!" Beerus scoffed.
"Those idiots don't have overwhelming talent. Even if you give them ten more years, they still wouldn't comprehend Destruction!"
Destruction was a power exclusive to Destroyer Gods. To beco one, comprehending Destruction was rely the bare minimum.
And since each universe only had one Destroyer God, the standard was unimaginably high.
Even if other universes gathered many candidates, Beerus believed that only a tiny fraction would ever truly comprehend Destruction.
"Everyone is right," Whis said with a gentle smile. "In terms of talent, Gran, you have every reason to be proud."
Three days to comprehend Destruction.
Not even Beerus had achieved such a feat.
"Haha… hahahaha!!"
With everyone praising him, Gran couldn't help himself. He stood up, hands on his hips, laughing loudly.
Refreshing!!!
Everyone else: "... He's crazy."
After enjoying the mont, Gran sat back down and bit into a fruit. "So how do I train now?"
"Since you've already comprehended Destruction, you need to cultivate it to the First Stage of Rules."
Beerus leaned in, wrapped an arm around Gran's neck, and grinned slyly.
"To reach the rule level? Simple! Just destroy lots of things."
"…?"
A bad feeling washed over Gran.
He peeled Beerus' arm off and stared at the skinny cat-god. "Beerus-sama… what are you plotting now?"
"What are you saying? Can I possibly be plotting sothing?" Beerus said, sipping tea with feigned innocence.
"You need to destroy more things to improve your mastery. That's all."
"So?"
"So… you probably don't know yet," Beerus said, rubbing his hands together like a scheming fly. "During the nine years you spent inside the Dinsional Tower… several unqualified planets appeared again in the Seventh Universe."
He set the teacup down.
Then grinned wickedly.
"You can destroy this batch."
Gran shot to his feet. "Beerus-sama, haven't you remained awake all these years?! How can you still be this lazy?!"
"I was saving them to clear all at once…"
Beerus avoided eye contact.
Gran shook his head violently. "I can't even consistently destroy a pebble, and you want to destroy planets?!"
"What's the problem? That's how I started!"
"..."
Gran stared at him speechlessly. "Beerus-sama… did you forget that in ten years I have to participate in the Destroyer Candidate War? And you want to make do your chores?!"
He glanced around at the others.
But neither the Old Supre Kai nor Whis objected.
These people were insane.
"Gran, don't think Beerus-sama is being lazy," Whis explained gently. "He intentionally left these planets for you. Destroying planets is training— and the fastest way to develop your Destruction power."
