Chapter 3: The Goddess and the God of Balance
The air shimmered as Kaguya Ōtsutsuki descended from the crimson sky.
Her long white hair flowed like liquid moonlight, her pale eyes glowing with unearthly calm. Yet beneath that beauty, I could feel the storm — the hunger, the loneliness, and the defiance of a goddess who refused to bow.
Her feet touched the ground, and the world itself bent. Mountains trembled. Clouds split. Even my divine domain quivered at her arrival.

My allies raised their weapons instantly. Artoria's sword flared with holy light, Gojo's infinity coiled around his fingers, and Albedo's wings spread wide like a curtain of darkness. Ainz lifted his hand, summoning circles of death magic that distorted reality itself.
But I raised my hand — and they stopped.
"She isn't the enemy," I said quietly. "Not yet."
Kaguya's eyes narrowed. "You wield power that should not exist here. Who are you to interfere with my reign?"
Her voice carried no emotion, yet it cut deeper than any blade.
"I am balance," I replied, stepping closer. "The one sent to ensure this world doesn't consume itself. Even gods need limits."
Her Byakugan pulsed, scanning my existence — and for a moment, I saw hesitation flicker in her gaze. She saw it. The divinity within me. The system's light that even her eyes could not fully comprehend.

"Balance?" she whispered. "There is no balance in creation. Only control."
The ground erupted beneath her feet, chakra waves rippling like tsunamis. My allies formed defensive barriers, yet her power sliced through them like silk. The Divine Tree behind her shuddered, absorbing the energy and amplifying it further.
She struck — and the world became light.
My domain shattered. My allies were thrown back, their forms flickering at the edges of existence. But through the chaos, I stood firm. My hand glowed with golden-black energy, divine and abyssal intertwined.

Time froze.
Sound died.
Light stopped moving.
I walked through the stillness, standing before Kaguya's frozen form. Her expression was fierce — and yet… sorrowful. I could see the faint cracks in her soul, the pain of a woman who bore all creation alone.
"You're not the monster they'll remember," I murmured. "You're the first prisoner of your own divinity."
I touched her forehead, letting the energy flow through me — not to harm, but to understand. Visions flooded my mind: the day she consumed the God Tree's fruit, the betrayal of her sons, the loneliness that came after.
When time resumed, she staggered back, breathing sharply. "You… saw everything."
"I did."
Her eyes trembled for the first time, her voice barely above a whisper. "Then tell me, god of balance… will you destroy me?"
I smiled faintly. "No. I will rewrite the path you lost."

[Kaguya Ōtsutsuki has formed a Partial Pact of Balance.]
The world trembled again — but this time, not from violence. The Divine Tree's raging chakra calmed, its roots slowly retreating into the earth. My allies looked around, stunned by the sudden silence.
Kaguya looked up at me, her voice steady once more. "You are not of this world. Your power bends fate itself. Tell me, what is your true goal?"
I turned my gaze toward the horizon, where countless timelines shimmered faintly in my divine sight. "To prepare for what comes next. The Ōtsutsuki were never the end — only the beginning."
And somewhere beyond the stars, something ancient stirred — something even gods feared.
