Not long after.
Gran descended back to the ground.
Four more figures then descended from the sky.
They were Rumsshi the Elephant, Liquiir the Clown, Kusu, and Marcarita.
However, compared to Gran's relaxed and composed appearance, Rumsshi and Liquiir looked absolutely miserable.
Both of them were battered and bruised, and traces of blood could even be seen at the corners of their mouths.
Seeing this, Vegeta was once again utterly stunned.
Gran had just fought two opponents at once—and they were both Gods of Destruction!
And he had beaten the absolute crap out of both of them!
Just how powerful has this guy become?!
"You really are something, Gran!"
Champa completely disregarded Rumsshi and Liquiir's dignity and burst into loud laughter.
Vados and Whis couldn't help laughing at Champa's reaction.
"You!!!"
Rumsshi was so furious that he ground his back teeth together.
But when he glanced at Gran standing nearby, he immediately decided not to say anything more.
Instead, he turned around and roared at Liquiir:
"This is all your fault! If you hadn't insisted on letting Gran know that we were coming here openly, would I have lowered my guard and concealed my aura? Would I have gotten beaten up?!"
Liquiir was rendered speechless.
The idea really had been his.
They were coming to the Seventh Universe to watch the tournament. If they had sneaked in secretly and were discovered afterward, wouldn't they have been beaten to death?
That was why Liquiir had suggested releasing their auras openly.
That way, Gran would know they had come openly and would understand that they had no hostile intentions.
The result?
They still got beaten up!
Fortunately, Liquiir had brought another person along.
Otherwise, he would have been the only one getting beaten.
But…
Even though Liquiir was technically in the wrong, he was still a God of Destruction.
With so many people watching, how could he tolerate this elephant yelling at him like that?
So...
"You damn elephant! Are you looking for a beating?!"
"A fight? Fine! Let's go! Whoever backs down is the grandson!"
"Then bring it on!"
"…"
The two Gods of Destruction stood face-to-face.
They were less than five centimeters apart.
They spat all over each other as they argued, yet neither one actually made a move.
Gran looked at them and shook his head.
Champa leaned toward him and snickered.
"Gran, these two are just putting on a show for you."
"They aren't putting on a show. They're genuinely angry. They're just afraid of violating Lord Zeno's orders, so neither of them dares to actually fight."
Gran could see that both of them were genuinely furious.
He shook his head.
"Enough. Why did you two come to the Seventh Universe?"
Rumsshi and Liquiir immediately stopped arguing.
They exchanged a glance.
Liquiir turned toward Marcarita.
"First, heal our injuries."
"Yes, Lord Liquiir."
Marcarita waved her staff.
A healing spell enveloped Rumsshi and Liquiir, and their injuries quickly disappeared.
Liquiir rubbed his face.
Once he could no longer feel any pain, he finally turned toward Gran.
"Gran, the reason we entered the Seventh Universe so openly was simply to let you know that we had arrived. We have no hostile intentions."
"Save the excuses. Just tell me why you're here."
"Your Universe Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin, isn't it? So we wanted to come over and observe it. We also thought we could learn something from the way you've organized it."
Among the twelve Gods of Destruction, Liquiir was considered one of the more intelligent ones.
He knew there was no way he could hide the real reason for coming to the Seventh Universe.
So he might as well be honest about it.
"You came to observe the Universe Martial Arts Tournament?"
The Gods of both the Sixth and Seventh Universes were stunned.
These guys really had come here for the tournament!
Gran wasn't surprised in the slightest.
The Seventh and Sixth Universes had undergone tremendous changes recently.
If those changes hadn't attracted the attention of the other universes, that would have surprised him.
In the distance, Vegeta had also heard their conversation.
His breathing suddenly became heavy.
This Universe Martial Arts Tournament is actually attracting attention from all over the place!
"Bulma, how do I participate in that Universe Martial Arts Tournament?"
"Judging from your tone, you're already impatient to join?"
"Yes! I absolutely have to make a name for myself in this tournament!"
"…"
Vegeta's voice wasn't exactly quiet.
His declaration immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Who is that guy?"
Rumsshi frowned.
"That mortal is way too arrogant. He's so weak, yet he actually thinks he's going to make a name for himself?"
Liquiir looked at Vegeta with disdain.
If Gran had said those words, neither of them would have reacted at all.
Gran had already made a name for himself during the previous Great Battle of the Candidate Gods of Destruction.
Nowadays, throughout Lord Zeno's universes, there was hardly a single deity who didn't know the name Gran!
But Vegeta was simply too weak.
Forget their Candidate Gods of Destruction—even some random low-level fighter from their universes could probably kill Vegeta.
However...
Kusu and Marcarita reacted differently.
The two angels exchanged a glance, and both could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
We just arrived on Earth and we've already encountered a genius.
The Seventh Universe really does have something going for it!
"You two…"
Gran's voice once again drew everyone's attention back to him.
Now that he understood their purpose, Gran crossed his arms and studied Rumsshi and Liquiir with a meaningful smile.
"You two came here together. Have you already formed an alliance?"
"An alliance?"
Champa initially didn't understand.
But after thinking about it for a moment, realization dawned on him.
There was no doubt about it.
Gran's "alliance" probably meant that the Tenth and Eleventh Universes had also joined forces to hold their own Universe Martial Arts Tournament, just like the Sixth and Seventh Universes.
"You stole our idea?!"
Champa exploded with rage.
He immediately prepared to charge at the two Gods of Destruction.
Gran reached out with one hand and stopped him.
"Lord Champa, calm down. There's no way we could have kept this method secret."
In fact, Gran had anticipated this from the moment he decided to hold the Universe Martial Arts Tournament.
A tournament on this scale was simply too enormous to conceal.
And with the recent changes taking place in the Seventh and Sixth Universes, anyone with eyes could tell that they had clearly done something.
There was simply no way to hide a competition involving two entire universes.
That was also why Gran hadn't cared in the slightest about Gowasu's actions when he had previously traveled to the Tenth Universe and killed Zamasu.
"Phew."
Liquiir hadn't known that Gran had previously visited the Tenth Universe.
Seeing that Gran wasn't going to pursue the matter, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Rumsshi, on the other hand, wasn't surprised at all.
He had known from the beginning that Gran wouldn't pursue the matter.
"Yes, we've formed an alliance."
Rumsshi openly admitted it.
"Hmph! All you know how to do is copy other people's ideas. Can you get any more shameless?"
Champa was genuinely furious.
"Exactly!"
Fuwa was also angry.
"You're all Gods of Destruction, yet you're actually doing something this underhanded! You're completely throwing away the dignity that Gods of Destruction are supposed to have!"
"You…"
Liquiir and Rumsshi were furious.
Since when could a Supreme Kai talk to them like this?!
But then they saw Fuwa immediately duck behind Gran.
The two Gods of Destruction instantly lost their nerve.
"Sure enough, you've formed an alliance."
Gran crossed his arms.
Then a mischievous grin slowly appeared on his face.
"In that case…"
"I'm going to collect some patent fees."
