Kaito stood alone in the crumbling remains of the world he had once sought to conquer. The Tower of Eternity, the seat of his power, began to crack and shift under the weight of the collapsing reality. He could feel it—the world slipping away.

The voice that had once whispered to him, promising him limitless power, now laughed, mocking him for the path he had chosen.

Is this what you wanted, Kaito? the voice taunted. To become a god, only to destroy everything in your pursuit of strength?

For the first time in a long while, Kaito hesitated. The power he had sought his entire life had given him nothing but destruction and isolation. The gods had been right—his greed had thrown the world out of balance.

But there was one final choice to make.

At the center of the tower, where the magic of the world’s core pulsated, lay the heart of creation itself. Kaito could feel it, the ultimate power that governed life, death, and everything in between. He could seize it, consume it, and reshape the world in his image. He could become the true god, the master of all reality.

Or… he could release it, restore the balance, and let the world heal itself.

Kaito stood at the precipice, his hand hovering over the core. The whispers in his mind screamed for him to take it, to ascend beyond godhood itself. But the faces of the people he had abandoned, the boy who admired him, and the lives he had destroyed, all flashed through his mind.

Power had brought him nothing but emptiness. Perhaps… it was time to let go.

With a deep breath, Kaito stepped back, and with one final gesture, he released the core’s energy, letting it flow back into the world. The power surged around him, restoring the order he had broken. The gods, now gone, would not return, but the world would live on without them—without him.

Kaito’s strength began to fade, his godhood slipping away like sand through his fingers. He felt himself returning to the man he once was, mortal and fragile. The Tower of Eternity crumbled around him as the last of his power vanished.

And for the first time in what felt like an eternity, Kaito felt… at peace.
