The crater was still steaming.
Lu lay at the center of it like a forgotten action figure, twitching gently every time someone mentioned interest rates.
Gojo's divine aura flickered like a glitching LED.
He had one sock.
And no clue how his other shoe ended up embedded in the ceiling.
Subaki was meditating upside down.
Not by choice.
She had been yeeted into the air by a cosmic martial artist and was still waiting for gravity to give up.
The MCs and gods were still not done.
"That's for scamming me out of a system upgrade!"
"You replaced my divine artifact with a rubber duck!"
"You tricked my ENTIRE UNIVERSE into investing in fake NFTs!"
"...I still use those ducks actually, but I'm still mad."
Lu tried to crawl out of the crater.
Someone stepped on his back.
An Emergency Intervention
Suddenly—
A crack in space opened.
And from it, a blinding light emerged.
A booming voice shook the void:
"ENOUGH."
Everyone froze.
And out walked…
The Universal Mediator.
An ancient, impartial being responsible for keeping the multiverse from collapsing into anime-fueled chaos.
She wore a business suit made of starlight.
Her eyes glowed with admin privileges.
Her voice could override plot armor.
"You can't just obliterate them.
They need to fix what they broke."
Everyone groaned.
Lu:
"…We broke something?"
Mediator:
"YOU BROKE EVERYTHING."
The Sentence
The Mediator pointed at the three of them.
"You have one chance.
Clean up the narrative rift your nonsense caused.
Restore balance to the systems you messed with.
Face the gods you wronged.
And keep the MCs from rewriting existence."
Lu:
"So... like community service?"
"MULTIVERSAL. COMMUNITY. SERVICE."
Subaki:
"Is there... dental?"
The Twist
Gojo was about to make a sarcastic remark when the Mediator added:
"And you'll be supervised.
By someone immune to your stupidity."
Another portal opened.
And out stepped…
G.L.U.E.
Wearing shades.
Hovering.
Smiling.
"What's up, losers."
Lu:
"...God help us."
Gojo:
"No. He's mad too."
