The Bracelet's Hidden Truth
In the heart of the Celestial Domain, Infinity God stood before the Bracelet of Celestial Balance, his piercing blue eyes reflecting the power within it. The artifact was ancient, far beyond the understanding of even the gods. But now, with the war escalating, it was time to uncover its true purpose.
Galaxy God stepped forward, his voice filled with concern. "What if we're not meant to control it? What if it controls us?"
Infinity God placed his hand over the bracelet, and in that instant, a surge of cosmic energy flooded his mind. Visions of its creation, its previous wielders, and the true balance of the universe filled his thoughts.
"The bracelet was never meant for war," he muttered. "It was meant to judge."
It wasn't a weapon—it was the scale of existence itself.

Aurora Yoichi's Intrusion
As the gods debated the bracelet's purpose, a dark force suddenly pierced through the Celestial Domain. A crack in space itself formed, and through it stepped Aurora Yoichi, his presence warping the very fabric of reality.
"Still playing with relics of the past?" he smirked. "How small your vision has become."
With a flick of his wrist, he sent a wave of energy toward the gods, but Infinity God countered instantly, their forces colliding in a cosmic explosion. The heavens trembled.
Aurora's gaze drifted toward the bracelet, and his smirk widened.
"Ah… so you finally see," he whispered. "The bracelet doesn't belong to you. It belongs to balance itself."
He extended his hand, and something awakened within the bracelet. A pulse of light—neither good nor evil—spread across the universe. The gods and warriors alike felt its call.
Aurora laughed. "Now, let's see who it truly favors."

A Battle for Control
The bracelet began to glow, and suddenly, the sky split open, revealing celestial beings long thought lost to time.
The Keepers of Balance, ancient entities who once ensured order in the universe, had returned.
They did not bow to Infinity God.
They did not bow to Aurora Yoichi.
They existed beyond the war, beyond the gods themselves.
Infinity God clenched his fists. "This changes everything."
Aurora Yoichi's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Oh, this is just the beginning."
The fate of the universe had shifted, and the true war had only begun.
