I froze time and space.
Mikoto had hoped I would not harm the living beings of all worlds. I did it.
I merely froze time and space.
I made everything stop at this very moment.
Mikoto once said I was unfair. This time, my sisters and the others would probably think I was unfair too.
But many things were just like that. Even when you clearly knew what you should do, you still could not control yourself.
People possessed reason, yet always lived by emotion.
Unable to escape, unable to let go.
In the end, I was not an unfeeling god, nor did I want to become one.
I froze my sisters, Kushina, Tsunade, Konan, Kaguya, Hinata, Hanabi, Terumi Mei, and Temari at the end of time and space.
Then I tied a knot in this vast river of time and space.
A knot that closely resembled a Möbius strip.
This was the battlefield between time and space and me.
It had erased Mikoto's existence. Then I would make it remain here forever.
For a thousand years, ten thousand years, hundreds of millions of years—it would never flow onward again.
Thus, in this endlessly looping time and space, all things were conserved.
Including souls.
I believed that even if Mikoto's existence had vanished, her soul would not be erased along with it.
Because that violated the rules of time and space.
The price Mikoto paid was her existence, but it did not include her soul.
Yet time and space had to return her memories, every last fragment of her, to me.
Otherwise, we would remain deadlocked here, no matter how many years or eras passed!
I was the god of the world. Time and space could understand my resolve.
Still, I had only frozen my sisters and the others.
Everything
