Ch.6060. Georgius’s True Identity Revealed

“He looks kind and gentle on the outside, but has a terrifying expression. …Hmm? Hehehe. No, that’s not it. Even his true nature is being disguised by some ability.”

Of course, Dorado couldn’t actually see the system window, but he sensed it intuitively.

If Jung Ui-seok had looked at Choi Minseo with dragon eyes at that moment, he would have been able to see the text with static interference.

[Disposition: Ord▒Cha▒Dis▒der/▒Good▒Evil▒]

Dorado became interested in Choi Minseo. That unsettling aura was something even he, who had lived for quite a long time, hadn’t seen in a while.

Choi Minseo began muttering with a crazed smile on her face.

“Pestam is a good drug. Ah. I lived in a dream. I thought time had turned back. I had my own place, and people who acknowledged me.”

Choi Minseo slowly raised both hands.

“But you know what? Ui-seok probably thought the drug’s side effects would torment me, but even those nightmares felt like dreams to me. Thanks to cultivating only jealousy and guilt in my subconscious, I ended up believing it was real.”

Dorado saw madness in Choi Minseo.

It was a potential he hadn’t seen in any warrior, let alone a human.

“Ah, Han Somi. If that pathetic bitch hadn’t just died there, I wouldn’t have had to kill Ui-seok. Fortunately, the moment I tasted that garbage low-quality Pestam, all my memories came back.”

Choi Minseo trembled as she hugged her shoulders.

“Yes. I killed her out of fear. Because it was obvious Ui-seok would kill me if he found out I killed Han Somi. Senior Se-hwa and Senior Yukyong were also time bombs. But they both hated Han Somi anyway, right? So it’s easier to kill one than two.”

Choi Minseo slowly raised the corners of her mouth.

“Does Ui-seok know? That I was the one who drove a wedge between him, Senior Se-hwa, and Senior Yukyong? He still doesn’t know, right? That the Association President was actually my older sister. That I planned everything that day.”

The ecstatic expression on Choi Minseo’s face suddenly stopped. She gazed at the drifting clouds.

“But I really screwed it up.”

Choi Minseo let out a long sigh.

“It’s Ui-seok’s fault. Isn’t it? If he rescued a tragic heroine like me, he should have loved me to the end, not sleeping with another woman. Haha. Ridiculous. You reap what you sow. Good triumphs over evil. Justice prevails. That’s how it should be.”

Choi Minseo tilted her head.

“I didn’t know he was that much of a monster. So.”

Choi Minseo looked at Dorado.

“Grandfather, turn me into a monster.”

Dorado looked at Choi Minseo and smiled broadly.

“You’re a child strong in both body and mind. That desire, that green jealousy is most lovely. You’ll make an excellent vessel.”

Dorado lightly waved his staff. Choi Minseo’s body began to float.

“Let’s go together.”

The next moment, they were enveloped in a pillar of light, and soon nothing remained in that place.

“What is that…”

Ji Se-hwa looked at Shin Yukyong and broke out in cold sweat, at a loss for words.

When Shin Yukyong appeared and started attacking Dark Matter, she felt a sense of satisfaction. But seeing the cruel power that was tearing Dark Matter apart like a toy made her skin crawl.

Shin Yukyong was destroying everything like a madwoman. If she had been caught in between, she would surely have been torn apart without distinction between friend or foe.

“Se-hwa! Eridanus is preparing something!”

Kang Yerin called out to Ji Se-hwa. Eridanus was forming a magic circle atop a high spire.

She tried to reach that position, but the path was blocked as combat personnel stopped their demolition work and swarmed toward her.

“Incredible! Hero Half Moon Mirror is overwhelming Villain Alliance’s Dark Matter!”

“Information about the ranks and abilities of the main figures at this scene has arrived! Please check your screens!”

“They’re even revealing ability information?!”

Kang Yerin clicked her tongue. Shin Yukyong was completely out of control. She wasn’t in her right mind.

‘Or is Nameless directly providing information to the media? For what purpose?’

Nameless, the mysterious ability user who could objectively evaluate the abilities of all powered individuals.

Kang Yerin had searched for a long time to finally contact him and secure his cooperation.

For some reason, he didn’t reveal information about Jung Ui-seok and Gerogius.

‘The balance between heroes and villains doesn’t match,’ he had said.

She still didn’t understand what he meant.

Even then, he didn’t reveal ability information, so what changed?

“This is amazing! What happened to Hero Half Moon Mirror who was T1 rank! Here are the ranks of the ability users at the East Sea Underwater Prison site!”

Kang Yerin checked the hologram screen displayed on her transformation device.

“Yukyong is T4…?! She’s on the same level as Eridanus?!”

Kang Yerin was shocked. Her ability level wasn’t even that high, and the Dillitter she was currently equipped with was broken and hadn’t been properly repaired.

It was clear that the secret lay in the part attached to her transformation device.

Still, Eridanus was more urgent. There was neither justification nor capacity to stop the fight between Shin Yukyong and Dark Matter.

And finally, the moment Dark Matter collapsed.

Kang Yerin witnessed Gerogius entering the scene.

At that moment, she thought that even Gerogius couldn’t face T4-ranked Shin Yukyong alone.

And then.

“…Huh?”

Kang Yerin couldn’t help but make a dumbfounded sound.

Because she had witnessed the pure white light arrow in Gerogius’s hand.

“Did Ui-seok transfer his ability? Is that possible? No, he was using arrows even during the title match…”

Another possibility flashed through Kang Yerin’s mind, but she deliberately ignored it.

“…No way.”

***

“What a mess.”

Lena’s voice came from behind me. I didn’t give any specific orders. Lena understood what needed to be done and began emergency treatment on Lu-a using her Spirit Command.

“Your internal organs are critical. I’ll extract some blood while connecting the severed parts. Bear with it.”

“…Urgh.”

Lu-a gritted her teeth. I walked toward Shin Yukyong.

“Geor, Gerogius—!!”

Shin Yukyong flailed her severed wrist. The transformation device attached to her other wrist glowed.

So, it’s a Pad.

With the start of the Civil War, some people developed those things.

It’s the next generation of transformation items.

I wondered how she overwhelmed Lu-a.

She did something ridiculous.

“I’ll kill you.”

I declared briefly and charged forward.

Shin Yukyong immediately responded. She generated a gravity field around me. It seems she’s modified it to operate without touching the Pad.

The gravity on my legs is roughly 20 times normal.

My body weight increases to 2 tons.

Fuck that.

When a person is enraged, they can move roughly the same regardless of what burden is placed on their body.

“Monster—!”

Shin Yukyong pointed her finger at me and fired a quantum cannon from the tip. This is quite powerful too.

I extended my palm and caught it, tearing it apart.

My arm was blackened in the process, but since I was angry, I didn’t care much.

I continued charging forward.

“Impossible! How?!”

I reached Shin Yukyong. She deployed an ultra-hardened new material barrier around her entire body.

It’s a shield that would remain intact even if an atomic bomb exploded.

I threw my fist.

Directly at Shin Yukyong’s face.

KWAAANG!!

My fist smashed through the shield and everything else, embedding itself in Shin Yukyong’s face.

From the point of impact, her skin was torn away, unable to withstand the shockwave. Her teeth burst like corn in a thresher, and her jawbone and skull were crushed. Her neck vertebrae gave way, and her entire body bent grotesquely.

Without even being able to scream, she was slammed into the ground.

“Im, poss, ible—”

“When I’m pissed off and hit with full power, it usually works.”

I immediately grabbed Shin Yukyong’s left arm and ripped it off completely. I shattered all the pads on her transformation device.

“Ah, no, don’t— my power—”

“Let me show you my power too.”

I drew out the White of Plague. Without hesitation, I shot it into Shin Yukyong’s abdomen.

“Aaaagh, aaaaaaaa—!!!”

A small void formed and began to rotate. Shin Yukyong’s intestines were sucked in, spinning like a blender. Unable to bear the pain, Shin Yukyong rolled her eyes back.

“Or this?”

I used the Blue of Death. I drew out a scythe. I precisely killed only one of Shin Yukyong’s lungs.

“Hup— hup— hu?! Huk— ok—”

No matter how much Shin Yukyong tried to breathe, oxygen wasn’t properly delivered. She must feel death rising to her chin along with the pain.

“Are you scared?”

At my question, Shin Yukyong’s pupils trembled.

She finally understood.

That she was about to die.

“Geor— gius—”

“Yukyong, it’s me.”

“—Huh?”

“It’s me. Jung Ui-seok.”

“You’re— lying.”

At that moment, Ji Se-hwa and Kang Yerin rushed forward and stood in front of me.

“Gerogius! Let Shin Yukyong go!”

“I won’t forgive you if you take her life!”

I folded my arms and lightly placed my foot on Shin Yukyong’s abdomen.

“Didn’t I tell you? I’m going to kill all of you anyway.”

Kang Yerin and Ji Se-hwa were taken aback by my words.

“Gerogius! Gerogius who invaded the East Sea Underwater Prison has subdued Half Moon Mirror!”

“Here, Gerogius’s rank and ability are revealed!!”

“Wait, is Red Dragon here too?! Red Dragon has also been revealed!”

“Hold on. Gerogius and Red Dragon’s ranks and abilities…!!”

***

Kang Yerin hoped the display was incorrect.

She didn’t want to believe it.

Why did she continue being a hero even after Jung Ui-seok died?

Because it was the only way she could remember him.

Why did she continue being a hero even though Jung Ui-seok had despaired of heroes?

Because she thought if she did, he would someday acknowledge her and return.

She was only cooperating with villains because her path was blocked, but if there was justice here. If she showed him that she was stubbornly following his teachings without giving up.

She believed he would someday understand.

That he would someday love her.

With that hope.

Until now, she had endured the grueling training, the painful Galaxy Empire subjugation, the difficult leadership position, all of it.

If from the beginning he had chosen the path of a villain who kills heroes.

If that villain who had been tormenting Shin Yukyong, Choi Minseo, and Ji Se-hwa to death was actually Jung Ui-seok.

Then this premise doesn’t hold from the start.

There was nothing but despair.

“No… no, please.”

Kang Yerin checked the trembling screen.

There it was written.
