The Grand Priest explained in a calm voice from the side.
Turns out, not long ago, Zeno had been scrolling GodTube, and the algorithm had recommended him the full broadcast of the Tournament from Levos's timeline.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Putting aside the fact that, by "outside time," that tournament had ended barely three days ago… the truly terrifying part was this:
A timeline sealed inside a History Scroll… still had a connection to the outside world.
And what made Levos even more on edge was a single question.
Who uploaded that video?
If the part where he absorbed the Gods of Destruction got exposed in front of that little egg, wouldn't he be completely, irrevocably finished?!
Boss, bad news! Your employees got kidnapped!
But good news! The kidnapper walked right into headquarters and is standing in front of you right now!
Levos was drenched in cold sweat, cursing the idiot who filmed it ten thousand times in his head.
Thankfully, with Chronoa as a buffer, he didn't show panic on his face.
Still, once the tournament footage was out there, the risk skyrocketed.
In the "original story," it was exactly because someone uploaded the Universe 6 vs Universe 7 tournament to GodTube that Zamasu noticed Goku.
Who knew what kind of chain reaction this leak would trigger this time?
Levos didn't dare think further.
He could only reply, "That match was won thanks to my partners. Honestly, I didn't do much…"
"Is Mr. Levos regretting that you didn't fight with your full strength?" the Grand Priest asked with a smile.
Only then did Levos realize how that sounded—like a humblebrag.
But saying the opponents were too weak wasn't any better either.
This topic was a minefield.
So he changed the subject and stated his purpose plainly.
In short: he wanted to ask the Grand Priest about the whereabouts of that enemy, and whether this world still had any chance of being saved.
In Levos's mind, the best-case scenario was simple: if the Grand Priest acted, he could suppress the enemy with ease.
Then they could attempt to rescue those who had been devoured.
If that worked, wouldn't the crisis be resolved?
Unfortunately, the Grand Priest had already made his stance clear—he would not intervene directly.
However, he also stated clearly that he could provide training guidance.
Guidance from the Grand Priest himself.
And Zeno didn't seem eager to erase the universe either.
Levos's spirits instantly lifted.
Then the Grand Priest poured cold water straight down his spine.
"The time I can spare to guide you won't be much. Before long, that being will arrive here."
"…!" Levos froze, instantly understanding who he meant.
The Majin that hunted gods was finally going to show himself.
Was that thing really that bold?
It dared charge straight at Zeno's palace?!
If the Grand Priest personally killed it while protecting Zeno, that wouldn't violate any neutrality principle, would it?
The others' eyes lit up as well.
Levos had never seen the Grand Priest fight.
He might actually witness it with his own eyes.
"Who exactly is that Majin?" Fuwa couldn't help asking.
Goten sighed. "I fought it before, but it has countless clones. Even Lord Beerus probably didn't know who the real body was…"
The Grand Priest smiled faintly. "Soon, we'll know."
While waiting for the enemy to come knocking, Levos asked the Grand Priest many questions.
The Grand Priest answered them one by one, patient and precise.
Not long after—
A vast pressure descended, an aura so ancient it felt like it had existed since time itself began.
"It's finally here…" Levos murmured.
The Grand Priest raised a barrier, enclosing everyone within it.
The once-peaceful starry sky began to warp.
Countless stars winked out and died.
And the universe fell into complete darkness.
