Chapter 06

“Level 13?! Unbelievable!”

“The [Eye of God] does not lie. Following the designated manual, from now on, Sergeant Cha Myung-jun will be designated as a Level 13 high-risk entity and will be eliminated. All members, engage in full-scale combat.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the 18 soldiers standing around her simultaneously drew their weapons. None of their expressions displayed the leisure that could be felt when watching the battle between Myung-jun and Hee-cheol just a while ago. Only tension related to the ‘item’ which unknown to everyone.

However, even in such a situation, Hee-cheol couldn’t shake off his lingering regrets.

“Give me a moment.”

“I refuse your request. Currently, our equipment is limited to Level 12. If equipment with Level 13 capabilities or an entity of that nature appears, our top priority will be the annihilation of the target.”

“Darn it. I know you’re stubborn, but this isn’t a request! It’s an order!”

“But...”

“I’ll take all the responsibility. If Myung-jun goes berserk, I’ll suppress him. If suppression fails, I’ll bear the responsibility.”

Hee-cheol turned his head and looked at Myung-jun. There, with his knees on the ground, he was grimacing in pain while clutching his severed arm.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

“Out of the 20 people here right now, 19 are eager to eliminate you. And out of those, I’m the only one who wants to save you. So, answer honestly. The Level 13 item in your right hand. What is its identity?”

“Fuck off.”

“Show me your right hand right now.”

Myung-jun stared directly into Hee-cheol’s eyes with fiery anger and pain. Then, he said,

“Moon Hee-cheol. Just before I was discharged, when I revealed my abilities, you asked me to stay a little longer for the investigation. Back then, I believed your words. When I asked you for help to protect my younger sister, I believed your words. And when I asked you for a little more help to ensure the future of Korea, I believed your words too. Even after that, I believed your words when you threatened me with my sister’s and family’s lives. You’ve never once told me the truth. So why should I tell you the truth now?”

“If you don’t tell me, I’ll have to kill you with my own hands.”

“Then do it. You son of bitch!” Myung-jun said.

“If I die, will you be sad, or will I be the one who is sad? Either way, I’m just a living slave. Why should I continue to live, especially since my sister died a long time ago? According to my calculations, if I die, you’ll have to clear Final Gate before the lifespan of the weapons I’ve created runs out. And even if I survive, I won’t wield a hammer anymore, so you’ll have to clear Final Gate. Admit it. This is the time when this fight, which has been dragged through over 30 years, needs to come to an end. And this time, I’m the one who won.”

Hee-cheol touched his forehead, dumbfounded.Then he raised his shoulders and chuckled at Myung-jun.

He found the foolishness of this man, who thought he would be free because of losing just one hand, incredibly amusing.

“Hahaha! What’s this, huh? Did you really think that I’d say, ‘Alright, my defeat,’ and release you just because you cut off one hand? Just because you lost one hand? Don’t make me laugh. Sergeant Cha Myung-jun. Haven’t you been the property of this country since 30 years ago, or even 34 years ago when you enlisted in the military? From the moment you crossed the threshold of the Military Academy, your body became property of the nation, and in such an emergency, the country has the legitimate authority to postpone the discharge of soldiers. Also my answer to your discharge request is ‘No.’ Sergeant. I can’t allow your discharge yet.”

“While others had fun for 2 years, I served for 34 years. During that long time, I was forcibly sacrificed under the pretext of ‘for the sake of the country,’ unable to even take a single vacation. If there’s an obligation for me to repay what the country has given me, I’ve more than repaid it sufficiently. Now, whether this damn country permits it or not, I’m going back home. Even if I can’t go back alive, I’ll die instead.”

“Pity! You received training for over 30 years, yet! You still lack loyalty to the country!”

“Can’t you imagine that the hate for the country has accumulated precisely because of that damn training of yours? Can’t you see that?”

“Those times were necessitated by the country!”

“Needed by you, I bet!”

“So, what’s your point? I’ve brought this country to where it is now! I’ve rescued humanity to its current state! Countless awakeners are living within the system I’ve created! And the entire world is watching under the shadow of the Republic of Korea! I am the will of South Korea! My actions for myself are actions for the world!”

“Shut the hell up!”

A hammer manifested in Myung-jun’s right hand accompanied by a flash as he shouted in anger. His longtime companion, whom he swung thousands of times every day for 32 years.

Myung-jun swung the hammer he held in his right hand towards Hee-cheol, but Hee-cheol had already stepped back upon the hammer’s appearance and had positioned a doll in front of him.

–Kwa-aang!-

With a deafening sound, the doll’s head, hit by Myung-jun’s hammer, exploded. However, the smirk at the corner of Hee-cheol’s mouth didn’t fade away.

Considering what he knew of Myung-jun’s combat prowess, even if he brought Mjolnir instead of a hammer, Hee-cheol knew he wouldn’t be able to defeat him.

The engraved studs on the dolls ignited into a fiery red, forming shapes like ores that started to break apart piece by piece. The elaborate painting that adorned them melted like freshly applied paint, turning into dust and dispersing.

In that moment, the 20 members of the institute attacks simultaneously struck Myung-jun’s body, yet all these attacks vanished into thin air upon contact with the light, as if they had never taken place.

In front of this light, even the hundreds of dolls armed with the equipment that Hee-cheol had been so proud of couldn’t exert any force.

Upon contact with the light, they lost all their abilities, reverting to their original material state and collapsing to the ground.

If a Level 12 item possessed abilities beyond human imagination, then a Level 13 item’s abilities exceeded what humans could comprehend.

Caught in fear of this ‘unknown power’, Hee-cheol shouted towards Myung-jun, who stood within the light, his cold smile fixed.

“Sergeant Cha Myung-jun! I demand an answer right now! What is that ability?!”

“The power to turn back time.”

“Absurd!”

“It is the ability to reverse everything you have built and rewind the fabric of time for this universe.”

“That’s impossible! No matter how extraordinary an item’s ability is, it can’t reach such a Level!”

“Your existence, too, will soon vanish into nothingness, without any turmoil. I’ll return to the day I first met you 32 years ago. And when I meet you again, I’ll never reveal my abilities to you.”

“Stop this right now!”

In an instant, a luminous arrow aimed at Myung-jun vanished.

When Myung-jun turned his gaze in that direction, he saw a woman in military attire, holding the bow he had crafted, aiming at him.

“If it’s 32 years ago, it’s before D-day. And on that day, billions of humans died. Do you really intend to reverse those deaths?”

As Myung-jun nodded his head, she shouted.

“That’s absurd!!!”

“Then if we leave things as they are, will the people who died that day come back to life? What has happened has happened, and even if time were reversed, similar events would likely unfold. But the course of history proceeding anew will change drastically from the present.

The world won’t be under the control of those bastards who enjoyed absolute power using my strength. Instead, it will be a world where people fight for themselves and are granted their rightful rights.

You claim to have brought order to the world? Then I will go back to the past and bring freedom to the world.”

“Stop this now!”

Hee-cheol, who could never have imagined that Myung-jun’s intentions involved time reversal, shouted toward Myung-jun.

In his eyes, there was a strong mix of greed and regret, as if he didn’t want to lose what he had built until now, and that expression was clearly far removed from any expression a hero could make.

“Thank you.”

Myung-jun said.

“For being disgusting till the end. Thanks to you, I was able to obtain the final piece I needed to reverse time.”

Myung-jun finally felt the time had come.

Beyond the oppression of that long time, it was time to gain true freedom.

Regretting the loss of one of his hands, Myung-jun clenched his remaining fist with all his might, extending his middle finger powerfully towards the soldiers.

“Goodbye!! You bunch of bastards! you were filthy together, and let’s never meet again!!!”

At that moment, the entire universe clock surrounding Myung-jun began to turn backward.
