The fight ended dramatically.

“Haaaaaaaah!!!”

“Hahaha, you little brat, you’re good…!”

Kwaaaaaaaang.

Bam. BANG. Kwaaaaaaaaah.

I fought against Kim Sun-woo with everything I had.

Flames, lightning, sonic booms, Kim Sun-woo was using all the powers of my past family and me using my own suit to overcome them all.

Light flashed and explosions could be heard throughout the battle, as the suit was destroyed and the fight raged on.

And finally.

“Kuluk…Have you finally defeated me…?”

Kim Sun-woo’s entire body was destroyed, and he fell to his knees.

The fight ended with my victory.

“……haa.”

In the deepest part of the HanEun Group where only the machines still glowed blue and pale pink, the fight had left them crumbling and mangled around them.

…And, where Kim Sun-woo did something at the end, where it began to shake like it was about to collapse from the ground.

I paused, catching my breath, and looked down at Kim Sun-woo.

…I was in bad shape, too.

My suit was almost completely destroyed, and I was practically naked now. I probably would have lost if Kim Sun-woo had more strength left, or if Da-in, who had slowly regained his strength from the middle, hadn’t helped me a bit.

But in the end, I won.

…Although I won.

Kim Sun-woo was smiling, even though he was still dazed.

“Hahaha!!!! Kuluk. Yes, you finally rejected my will and knocked me down… yes… but it doesn’t matter!”

Saying that, Kim Sun-woo smiled as he looked at me, even though he was covered in blood.

“I would have died anyway. In the end, nothing has changed. The machine behind me is still going to unleash its divine power on everyone soon, and since it’s made with dimensional superposition technology, there’s nothing you can do to destroy it…! Hahaha, hahahahahaha!”

With those words, Kim Sun-woo spread his arms and mockingly uttered his final words.

“You may not be able to share your power with all of humanity, but that’s enough. This is enough. My grace is bestowed upon a child like you, the Han Seo-eun who rejected me. In my stead, Kuluk, witness the birth of a new race…!”

Looking at Kim Sun-woo with numb eyes as he laughed in such a cracked voice, I silently looked back at Da-in.

“….”

Da-in shook his head.

…Perhaps, as far as he could see, there really was no way to stop this. The only way to deal with the situation is to run away and figure it out later.

– Kurrrrrrrr.

And right now, the building looked like it was about to collapse, so a quick escape would be the answer. But…

‘I wonder if that will work.’

I closed my eyes.

I wondered what would happen if the light from that ominous machine reached out to everyone.

What would happen if all of humanity received superpowers?

Chaos.

That was all I could think of.

Kim Sun-woo had spoken mesmerizingly of man’s escape from the bondage of the gods, of the birth of a new species…But now that I was sober and unshaken, thanks to Da-in, it all sounded like hype.

The idea of giving everyone, from babies to the elderly, a gun… no, not a gun, a cannon… to give everyone a cannon. It seemed only natural that the world would literally descend into chaos. It could even lead to its destruction.

Therefore,

I had to stop him now.

I knew from the beginning of my fight with him that this was something only I could do.

I had one reason.

Paradoxically, it was because of what Sun Woo had said.

‘Han Seo-eun, you’re not just a brilliant mind. In fact, you have an intelligence that borders on superpower, capable of thinking without limits!

He said.

He had said it plainly. ‘My true ability is not just a good brain… it’s a ‘limitless’ intelligence.

So, if that’s true…

I’m sure I can find a way to stop that machine now.

Flash.

At the same time as that thought, I opened my eyes.

At the same time, I saw the machine.

“Ugh….”

I rolled my head.

My brain was on fire.

I used all my knowledge to figure out what the machine in front of me was. From the technical to the primal questions that plumb the depths of physics.

My brain fired dozens, maybe hundreds of times, trying to figure out how it worked. I was trying to grasp the truth of the world.

It was no longer a simple application of knowledge as my brain was on a quest to find the truth of the world.

I was sweating, I felt feverish and my eyes were watering as that mysterious light pushed my brain to work beyond its limits.

What are the dimensions?

What is truth, what is this world, how does that machine work, what is dimensional technology?

I figured it out. I found it. By breaking down everything I’ve seen so far, I’ve arrived at a single truth: Why are the dimensions that make up this world stigmatized as moons?

What is the source?

Is this universe not just a center, but a side of it?

Is the entropy that makes up the side of it superimposed?

Is there a way to move that entropy?

Is there a way to touch it with some kind of organization?

Now that I have light, I can find out. Find it, find it. I see it. I found it. Yes. That’s it. That’s the source.

And then.

-Poof.

I saw the particles of that machine, how they were made, and by what principle they were attached to this world.

With that, my head came out of the abyss, as if it had become something else at the moment I decided it would.

Along with it, I saw a bright light and a whole other world.

Perhaps it was the light that filled this space that allowed me to reach this far at once but I used it to my advantage.

After a moment of tinnitus in my ears and the feeling of a blown fuse, I finally realized there was a way to bring it down.

I raised my hand with emotionless eyes.

-Boom, boom, boom.

I began to manipulate the particles of the machine in the distance, slightly, out of thin air.

“Kuluk… Han Seo-Eun… What are you doing…?”

I could hear Kim Sun-woo’s voice from up ahead, his expression stern as if he sensed something was wrong, but I ignored it.

I focused all my attention, and began to pick out the source of the particles that made up the distant machine. My brain already knew how to move my hand to make the particles fall apart.

It was like telekinesis.

I didn’t know if a simple super intelligence could go this far, but it could, so I did.

And in response, the machine began to purr.

-Rumbling.

The underground building also began to rumble, as if it would collapse at any moment.

“Answer me, Han Seo-Eun!!!! Yes, what are you doing now!!!!!”

I wonder if he finally realized what was happening.

For the first time, Kim Sun-woo looked panicked, and where was his relaxed demeanor until now?

I, Han Seo-eun, concentrating all my attention on operating the machine, smirked and said without looking at him.

“Well. Since you decided to die anyway, I’ve been thinking…It wouldn’t mean much if I killed you, and it wouldn’t be revenge, so I’ve decided to just ruin your most cherished plans.”

“What….? How the hell…! You, what are you doing! Stop!!!!! Do you realize what you’re doing? You’re stopping the progress of the entire human race! You’re a demon, a travesty of humanity, stop now, stop now!!!!!!”

As I finished speaking, Kim Sun-woo moved his body in a seizure, even though he was dying.

But there was nothing he could do, having already exhausted all his strength.

“That bizarre thing, it’s over.”

With those short words and my last touch the machine exploded in a blinding flash of light.

– Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Along with it, the building began to shake with tremendous momentum, as if it would collapse at any moment.

“Seo-Eun, hurry up….!”

“…! Yes, Da-in…!”

With that, he reached out his hand and called me.

Finally, with everything over and done with, I regained my senses, turned around and ran back to him. This space had completely collapsed, and he could teleport now.

I took his hand and held it for one last time before leaving.

I turned my head and looked down at Kim Sun-woo.

“No, no, no, no… No!!!!! Why, why, why!!!!!!!!”

And that was the last time I saw Kim Sun-woo looking at the ruined machine through the crumbling building.

I, along with Da-in, disappeared from that place.

It was the moment when my lifelong revenge was finally complete.

*** ******

It’s all over.

-Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh…

The sound of a building collapsing was heard as the dimensional axis collapsed.

Leaving the crumbling building behind like a mirage in a gaping hole, Da-in and I caught our breath under a blue sky we hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Hah…Are you okay?”

“Uh…But Seo-eun, I can’t teleport again…”

We finally escaped from the underground and returned to the mountainside.

I supported Da-in, who was grimacing from his injuries, and spoke up.

“It’s okay, Da0in. It’s all over now, so take it easy. The Association should be here soon to help us!”

“…Yeah. Really. It’s over. Uh… Oh, yeah, they just called. They’re done over there, and they sent a chopper over here when they saw our GPS came back….”

“Da-in…!”

With that, I walked down the mountain, arm in arm with Da-in.

As we walked, he paused for a moment to think before speaking.

“I don’t know where to start, but… First of all, I want to thank you for everything you did today, Seo-eun. You were so good. I don’t know how you did it, but…I don’t know what I would have done if it wasn’t for you.”

He looked at me, smiled faintly, and said those words.

I smiled back at him, and then opened my mouth.

“…No, I mean, I would have fallen apart right then and there without you. You’ve been a huge help.”

Really.

…He was a great help.

Today, in the past, and always.

I wonder if he felt my sincerity.

He looked up with a wry smile, then turned and said.

“Haha…Thank you. Oh, and now that I think about it, Seo-eun said something like this. Your wish is to live happily ever after with me? Haha, I didn’t know you liked me that much.”

He jokingly asked.

…Probably, I usually guess what he’s thinking, but I think he was surprised by that. He doesn’t know how to react, so he’s probably trying to pass it off.

Smiling, I crossed my arms and said.

“You’re right, I really like you.”

“….??”

“I mean, you’re going to be with me forever, right?”

Suddenly, I had a thought and I was curious about his reaction.

I raised my chin and kissed his cheek lightly.

“…Huh? Huh?”

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

“Hehe. Just kidding. But, Da-in, the helicopter is here! Hurry up!”

Hearing the sound of the helicopter, which came just in time, I smiled brightly, looked at Da-in, and ran towards the helicopter.

He stood there for a moment, confused.

“Haha…I’m so lucky. Yeah, let’s go, let’s go.”

He laughed hysterically, and then walked after me with a smile on his face as if he was feeling much better.

…I should probably keep Da-in’s slightly reddened ears a secret because that would make me red, too.

Anyway, with a wave from the green mountains, my story is over.

My name is Han Seo-Eun.

It’s a name I’ve kept ever since I was named by the HanEun Group, vowing revenge.

I thought about changing it after I finished my revenge, but I decided to leave it as it is. After all, it’s not the name that matters.

And

‘Seo-eun, are you here? Sit down.’

‘Yes, sister Na-eun…’

‘No, why do you only give candy to Seo-eun? It’s cheesy.’

This name, too, contains memories of those who have already left. It is precious to me now.

I decided to think differently about the people who left.

After all, they are the most important thing. And the last thing they said to me was…

‘You have to survive, Seo-eun, okay…?’

After all, they were asking me to live.

“Da-in, the helicopter’s here, the helicopter~”

“Haha. Yeah, yeah. Let’s go.”

Yeah. In this world I’m with Da-in, my favorite, who loves me.

I’ll go on and live because surely that life will be so much happier than I ever expected.
