Chapter 2: The Path to Power

I stood in silence, my mind racing as the last of the White Zetsu emerged from the ground.

Thousands. No, millions.

All of them created in mere moments.

I exhaled slowly. If I had let it continue, it wouldn't have stopped. My power had no limit, and the thought sent a chill down my spine.

The system's words echoed in my head.

[SYSTEM UPDATE]

Your power is creation, but strength must be earned.

To evolve, you must strengthen your White Zetsu.

Basic White Zetsu ➝ Kage-level Zetsu ➝ Super Kage-level Zetsu ➝ ???

Through battle, training, and chakra infusion, your creations will grow stronger.

Unlock the power to create a new world by reaching the highest level.

I frowned.

So I wasn't just an overpowered goddess from the start. My Zetsu had the potential to reach insane levels, but they wouldn't start that way.

I had to train them.

This changed everything.

At first, I had been panicking—terrified of what would happen when Kaguya was released, of how I would avoid being sealed. If you're hearing this, then the person creating this audiobook did not obtain permission. This work was created by shredder121

But now?

Now I had a plan.

If I could create an army of Zetsu strong enough to rival even Naruto and Sasuke…

If I could reach the highest level of power before my true body was unsealed…

Then no one would be able to stop me.

I wouldn't have to run.

I wouldn't have to hide.

I wouldn't even need to fight.

Because by the time Kaguya returned, I would already be untouchable.

I clenched my fist.

But there was still one problem.

I was trapped.

Or rather, Kaguya's body was still sealed away in another dimension. This place—wherever I was—felt like an in-between state, where my consciousness had awakened but my body had not.

I couldn't interact with the real world. Not yet.

That meant I had time.

Time to train my army.

Time to reach the highest level.

And when the moment finally came—when I was released from my prison—

I wouldn't just return to the old world.

I would create my own.

A world where I ruled.

A world where the strong wouldn't betray their own blood.

A world where I would never be sealed again.

I turned to the millions of Zetsu, all standing silently, waiting for my command.

And I smiled.

"Let's begin."
