"Is your sister's name Towa?"
"Yes."
"Where is she now?" Gran narrowed his eyes.
"I... I don't know."
A bitter expression appeared on Dabura's face.
Chronoa, sitting beside Gran, gave him a look that seemed to say, See? I told you he didn't know.
"Hmm?"
Gran stood up and let out a cold snort.
"My lord, I really don't know where my sister is!"
Dabura collapsed onto the floor. At this point, he had completely lost the dignity one would expect from the King of the Demon Realm.
"So you're not going to tell me?"
Gran's gaze grew increasingly cold.
"My lord, it's not that I don't want to tell you! I really don't know!"
Dabura frantically slammed his head against the floor.
"I haven't seen my sister in a very long time. I don't know what she's doing now, let alone where she is!"
"Destroy."
"??"
What did he mean by destroy?
Dabura froze for a moment and hurriedly raised his head.
The next instant, a sphere of purple energy enveloped his entire body.
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
If pain could be divided into ten levels, then the agony of having his body crushed apart earlier had been a nine.
But after being struck by Gran's Destruction Energy...
That pain was on an entirely different level.
It was a hundred!
"S-So... painful!"
"M-My lord, please... please spare me! I really... don't know!"
"..."
Because Gran was deliberately controlling the Destruction Energy, Dabura wasn't destroyed instantly.
Instead, the slow process of being erased made the pain absolutely unbearable.
Gran frowned.
Could Dabura really not know where his sister was?
"I told you he definitely doesn't know where Towa is. Forget it. I'll take you to Mechikabura's seal instead."
Chronoa was clearly disappointed.
Gran was disappointed as well, and he was just about to withdraw his hand.
Suddenly...
"M-My lord... although I don't know where my sister is... I-I once heard her mention a place that I couldn't understand!"
Dabura was enduring endless torment, but he suddenly forced himself to speak.
"Gran!"
Chronoa was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted his name.
Gran immediately stopped.
He then flicked a Senzu Bean into Dabura's mouth.
"Swallow it."
Gran could continue using his temporal power to restore Dabura's body, but his soul had already been damaged.
If Gran continued using his temporal power, Dabura might recover physically, but he would also forget everything that had just happened.
At present, Gran hadn't learned any healing magic, nor had he mastered the power of miracles.
So all he could do was use a Senzu Bean.
"Gulp!"
Dabura obediently chewed and swallowed the Senzu Bean.
The next second, he instantly returned to perfect condition.
"These Senzu Beans really are incredible. They can even heal damage to the soul."
Gran couldn't help sighing inwardly.
"Now tell me. What place did you hear Towa mention?"
"Yes!"
Dabura was still sprawled weakly on the floor, his face filled with lingering fear.
"After I became the King of the Demon Realm, Towa disappeared. But a very, very long time ago, I heard her mention a place called the Lost Land."
"The Lost Land?!"
Gran froze.
Since when had there been a place called the Lost Land in the Dragon Ball universe?
Chronoa's reaction was completely different.
Her eyes widened as though she already knew exactly where this place was.
"Hmm?"
Gran noticed Chronoa's expression and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Chronoa stood up from her little stool as well.
"I'll tell you later."
Gran didn't press her.
He simply looked coldly down at Dabura.
"Where is this place?"
"I... My lord, I really don't know! Please, don't torture me anymore!"
Dabura buried his head against the floor and trembled violently.
"Then I'll ask you this instead. How did you learn about this place?"
"A long time ago, Towa asked me to help Lord Demigra, but I refused. I told her that I wanted to become the King of the Demon Realm. After that, Towa stopped bothering with me."
"However, at the time, I heard Towa and Lord Demigra mention a certain place. They said that if someone wanted to obtain even greater power, they could go to a place called the Lost Land."
Gran and Chronoa exchanged a glance.
"Do you believe what he's saying?"
"Perhaps..."
Chronoa's expression became unusually serious.
"These demons are inherently devoid of genuine affection. If they see a chance to survive, they'll betray anyone without hesitation. Forget betraying their own sister—even if they were asked to betray their parents, they wouldn't hesitate."
"Could this Lost Land be another one of their bases?"
"It's possible!"
"Judging by your expression, you already know where this place is. Let's go."
"What about him?"
Chronoa glanced down at Dabura.
Dabura's body immediately began trembling again.
Gran remained motionless.
According to the original Dragon Ball storyline, Dabura would eventually fall under Babidi's control and appear during the Majin Buu arc.
But his ultimate fate was to be swallowed by Majin Buu.
His actual role in the original story wasn't particularly significant.
So...
"To prevent him from having some kind of backup plan and contacting Towa, kill him."
Before Dabura could react, Gran merely glanced at him.
Dabura didn't even have time to beg for mercy.
His entire body exploded instantly.
"Let's go."
Gran and Chronoa stepped into a temporal rift and quickly disappeared.

GT Timeline — Supreme Kai's World
Beneath a massive tree, six figures sat together.
They consisted of two Saiyans, two Supreme Kais, and two green foxes.
"Old Kai, are you really familiar with that Beerus and Whis?" Son Goku asked.
The Old Kai sighed.
"Of course I am. They're the God of Destruction and the Angel. Unfortunately..."
"Unfortunately what?"
"Unfortunately, something major happened back then. Afterward, a portion of our Seventh Universe was shattered, and Lord Beerus and Whis disappeared along with it."
"A portion of the Seventh Universe?"
Son Goku and Pan exchanged glances.
Ever since becoming Time Patrol members, they had always been sent directly to their destinations whenever they received missions. Once the missions were completed, they simply returned to the Time Nest.
They had never understood what this so-called Seventh Universe was.
"That's right. The universe we're in right now is actually a fragment of the original Seventh Universe."
Old Kai stood up from the grass and clasped his hands behind his back.
He raised his head and looked toward the sky.
"Don't let the size of this universe fool you. In reality, it's not even one percent of what the Seventh Universe used to be."
