Above the stars, beyond the boundaries of time, the three gods stood in solemn witness atop the obsidian dais of eternity. Before them floated the Astral Mirror, projecting the clash of titans below.

  The silence was absolute—until the War Tyrant raised its blade and met Kairyuuha's demonic strikes.

  BOOM.

  The Astral Mirror trembled with each blow, shockwaves rippling into the heavens themselves.

  Valtros, the War God, stepped forward, his crimson cloak billowing with celestial wind. His golden eyes gleamed with savage pride.

  “Kazuki finally wields war like a true tyrant.”

  Stolen story; please report.

  His lips curled into a sharp grin. “But that beast—Kairyuuha’s creation—it’s unnatural. That fusion… Dragon, Kitsune, and Human? That’s not evolution. That’s defiance.”

  Beside him, Xaren, God of Creation, folded his arms. His expression was unreadable, ancient eyes glowing with thought.

  “That form wasn’t written into the pattern. Kairyuuha is pulling fragments from fractured realities… pieces we erased.”

  He narrowed his gaze as the Beast Soldier raised the Shield of Absolute.

  “This is not creation. It is rebellion against fate.”

  As the War Tyrant was flung into an asteroid, shattering it with sheer force, Ishurei, the Goddess of Hope, winced. Her gentle aura flickered with emotion.

  “Kazuki… You’re remembering him, aren’t you? The real Kairyuuha. The one who once protected, not destroyed.”

  She reached out toward the Astral Mirror, her fingers brushing the image of Kazuki standing amidst the ruins of mana.

  “Hope remains, even in chaos. Even now.”

  Valtros scoffed but said nothing.

  The tension between the three was growing—just like the power on the battlefield.

  “So what now?” Xaren finally asked. “Do we interfere?”

  Valtros turned to him.

  “No. Not yet. Let them dance. This battle is the key. The Custodians will wait. And so shall we.”

  The gods turned back toward the war of legends.

  Two former brothers, one fight, and a fate not even the gods dared predict.
