.....
Her laughter instantly shattered the dead silence. The anxiety weighing on Son Goku and Pan also eased considerably.
The other Z Fighters actually wanted to laugh along with them, but Vegeta was the one who had made a fool of himself. They were afraid of getting beaten up, so none of them dared to laugh. They could only hold it in until they were nearly bursting.
Gran ignored the clownish Vegeta. After withdrawing the oppressive aura around him, he looked at Chronoa.
"Stop laughing and quickly find Demigra."
With Gran's current martial arts realm, unless his opponent had reached the true level of a God of Destruction, he would definitely be able to sense their presence.
However, he had never encountered Demigra or the others before, so he had no idea what their auras were like.
"Okay."
Chronoa stopped laughing and closed her eyes once again.
The Z Fighters present also understood why Gran and the Supreme Kai of Time had come here.
These two powerhouses were here to capture the criminals who had violated the laws of time and space. The Z Fighters immediately shut their mouths, afraid that their laughter would disturb the Supreme Kai of Time.
"Found them!"
Chronoa suddenly opened her eyes, her face filled with excitement.
"Where?"
Gran narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected them to really be hiding in this timeline.
"Follow me!"
Chronoa was just about to take Gran to apprehend Demigra when Son Goku suddenly spoke.
"Supreme Kai of Time, can you take us with you?"
Vegeta climbed out of the ten-meter-deep crater and shouted,
"Yeah! I'm going too!"
As for the other Z Fighters, they looked at one another.
Unlike the Saiyans, who could maintain their youthful appearances for a very long time, they had all grown old. Even if they wanted to join in on the excitement, their aging bodies simply couldn't keep up.
Chronoa and Gran exchanged glances.
"They're Time Patrol members too. Let them come along. They can also witness what a battle between true powerhouses looks like."
"Whatever."
Gran didn't care.
"Then let's go."
However, just as Chronoa was about to take everyone away, Son Goku hurriedly said,
"You guys go ahead. I'll catch up in a moment."
With that, he gave Pan a meaningful look.
Pan immediately understood what her grandfather was thinking. He must have wanted to tell the Old Kai and the others about Gran's arrival.
As for how he would find them afterward, all she needed to do was release her aura, and her grandfather could use Instant Transmission to locate her.
Chronoa didn't bother with Son Goku anymore. She tore open a spatial rift and led Vegeta, Pan, and Trunks into it.
Gran glanced back at the group of Z Fighters and shook his head slightly.
Mortals would eventually grow old.
There was simply nothing that could be done about it.
He then stepped into the spatial rift as well.
Son Goku didn't linger either. He placed two fingers against his forehead and quickly sensed the auras of the two green foxes beside the Old Kai.
With a whoosh, he vanished from the spot.
Only Krillin and the other Z Fighters remained behind.
Krillin stared at the place where the spatial rift had disappeared and sighed.
"There's definitely going to be another huge battle later. It's a shame that age catches up with you. Even if we wanted to go over there and watch, we can't anymore."
Yamcha's voice was equally helpless.
"If only we were Saiyans. Then we could go with them too."
Listening to the older generation talking, Son Gohan knew that everyone was actually feeling sorry for him as well.
But he didn't say anything.
He had already passed that age. He simply no longer had the desire to fight.
...
Supreme Kai's World
After Son Goku left, the atmosphere here became somewhat oppressive.
Shin lay on the grass, hoping to get some sleep, but he tossed and turned, completely unable to fall asleep.
The Old Kai, on the other hand, was doing just fine. He simply sat cross-legged on the grass, reading his little yellow book.
After all, this matter had been weighing on his heart for so many years that he had long since become accustomed to it.
Suddenly!
A figure appeared beside the two green foxes beneath the tree.
"Hm?"
When the Old Kai saw who it was, he froze.
"Didn't you just leave? Why are you back already?"
Shin stopped lying on the grass and immediately jumped to his feet.
"Goku, why did you come back? Did you think of something?"
Son Goku walked over, his voice unusually serious.
"Both of you, Supreme Kais. That Gran I mentioned earlier has arrived in our timeline."
"What?"
The moment Son Goku said this, the Old Kai sprang to his feet and hurried over to him.
"Did you go to the Time Nest and ask him to come here?"
"No. The Supreme Kai of Time brought him here herself. She said Demigra is hiding in our timeline, and they're currently heading to Demigra's hiding place."
Upon hearing this, the Old Kai and Shin exchanged glances. Both of them could see the shock in each other's eyes.
They naturally knew something about Demigra. He was a notorious criminal who frequently tampered with the flow of time.
And he had actually been hiding here!
"Goku, if you aren't going with them to capture Demigra, why did you come here?" the Old Kai asked.
"I came here because I learned Gran's true identity. The Supreme Kai of Time just told us that Gran isn't actually a God of Destruction. He's a candidate God of Destruction."
"What?!"
The Old Kai and Shin's eyes widened.
The Old Kai in particular had been a Supreme Kai fifteen generations ago. He knew very well what level of strength a candidate God of Destruction possessed.
Take Son Goku and Vegeta, for example. With their current strength, the two of them were already qualified to become candidate Gods of Destruction.
Yet they had still lost to Gran!
Clearly, Gran's strength was superior to theirs.
Under these circumstances, how could Gran possibly be merely a candidate God of Destruction?
There was no way a candidate God of Destruction could be that powerful!
"That's right. He's a candidate God of Destruction, and he's also the candidate God of Destruction of our Seventh Universe."
"What?!!"
The Old Kai and Shin were shocked once again.
The Old Kai immediately rushed forward and grabbed Son Goku by the shoulders.
"You're saying he's the candidate God of Destruction of the Seventh Universe from another timeline?!"
"Yes."
"Impossible! How could that bastard Beerus possibly take on a disciple?"
The Old Kai shook his head frantically.
Son Goku had never actually met Beerus, and without knowing Beerus's personality, he had no idea why the Old Kai was reacting so strongly.
"Old Kai, after they finish capturing Demigra, they'll return to the Time Nest. I came here because I want you to personally discuss that matter with Gran."
Son Goku finally revealed his true purpose.
After all, Chronoa had said that Gran was the candidate God of Destruction from another timeline's Seventh Universe. Whatever Gran said might not carry as much weight as the words of someone like the Old Kai.
"Fine. Once you finish dealing with Demigra, bring Gran here."
Although the Old Kai had countless questions in his heart, this wasn't the time to worry about them.
He needed to meet Gran!
"I can sense Pan and Vegeta's auras. I'll go catch up with them."
"Go ahead."
The Old Kai waved his hand.
Son Goku placed two fingers against his forehead.
With a whoosh, he vanished from the spot.
After Son Goku left...
"Ancestor, do you think he'll help us?" Shin asked.
"I don't know. We'll find out after Goku brings him here!"
"Yeah."
The Supreme Kai's World once again fell silent.
But this time, the oppressive atmosphere had turned into one of tense anticipation.
