Kaito’s uneasy existence was shattered when a ripple tore through the fabric of reality. One evening, as he meditated at the tower’s summit, a powerful presence broke through the barriers between realms. The sky above the tower darkened, and a rift appeared—glowing with divine energy.

From the rift emerged figures cloaked in light, their forms towering and majestic. They were the ancient gods, the ones who had ruled long before Kaito had even been born, the creators of the very world he now dominated. Their eyes blazed with fury and judgment as they descended.

“You have disrupted the balance,” the leader of the gods spoke, his voice echoing through the heavens. “No mortal is meant to wield such power. Your greed has brought chaos to the world.”

Kaito rose to meet them, unafraid. “I sought power, and I took it. I will not surrender it now.”

The gods’ wrath was palpable, and they summoned their divine might to challenge him. A battle of unimaginable scale erupted—a clash of god and man, of creation and destruction. The heavens roared as the forces of nature were torn apart. Kaito fought with a terrifying intensity, his strength dwarfing even the gods’ combined power.

But as he struck them down, one by one, he realized something—they were not his true enemies. They were merely protectors of an order that he had already shattered. When the final god fell, Kaito stood victorious, but the universe seemed… broken.

The world trembled beneath him, unstable and fragile. Without the gods to maintain it, the very fabric of reality was beginning to unravel. Mountains crumbled, oceans surged, and the sky itself seemed to warp and twist. Kaito, with all his power, was now witnessing the consequences of his actions.

He had won. But in doing so, he had brought the world to the edge of ruin.
