Chapter 444:
In a large, gray-walled room with a mysterious blue machine with a pillar of light behind it, in the deepest floor of the HanEun Group headquarters, Han Seo-eun and Da-in finally found the center of HanEun Group and faced Dr. Kim Sun-woo.
“You're finally here, Han Seo-eun, and Egostic. You've finally defeated everyone above and came all the way here to block my great progress!"
From the railing above the machine, Kim Sun-woo flutters his white robe and says so.
He wears round glasses and lets his long black hair down. He smiles with a sharp expression and looks downward…It seemed to stir up old traumas in Han Seo-eun.
“Great progress? That's not even funny. You're just a villain who raids people indiscriminately, and you're a cult leader.”
Seo-eun was emboldened by Da-in's cold retort.
She gritted her teeth and shouted up at him.
“That's right. They've all fallen except for you. Now it's your turn to fall, Sun-woo!”
“Hahaha, yes. There's nothing more to say between us. Let's try our strength. All right, come on in!”
And just as he said that, Kim Sun-woo added, from up there, with a wicked smile.
“By the way, Han Seo-eun, I've watched you fight…but don't you think you're relying too much on the man next to you?”
“….!”
At the same time, at the entrance they had entered, a large iron gate came down, completely sealing off the space.
And at that moment, Da-in seemed to have tried to quickly teleport away.
“…?!”
As if blocked by something, Da-in couldn't move his body.
He immediately pulled out two guns from his arms, waved his coat around, and spoke quickly to her.
“Seo-Eun, it's a trap…! My abilities can't be activated here!”
‘…What?!’
Hearing those words, Han Seo-Eun immediately panicked.
At the same time, she remembered Da-in words.
‘…They're too weak. Perhaps they have a trick up their sleeves in the last room.’
This is the trick? A superpower seal?
Da-in can't use his psychic powers…
‘Wait, then he's no different from a normal person with a gun…!’
“Da-in, stay behind me!”
With those words, Han Seo-eun lowered her suit's helmet and flew into the sky.
“Okay. This is the last device I prepared. How can I stop that monstrous man by myself?”
Fluttering his white robe, he slowly descended from the sky, holding a flaming fire in his hand.
‘Sun-woo was able to use the powers after all…!’
It was scary to think such a thing.
The flame was fired.
“Kwak…!”
-Pow. Purrrrrrrr. Pow.
Han Seo-Eun blocked most of the flames using her suit.
It wasn't easy, since she had to shift her body in an instant, but she did it anyway.
-Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
Da-in helped her by shooting at Kim Sun-woo from behind.
However Dr. Kim flew through the air, dodging them all but even as he was flying, he didn't stop talking.
“Once upon a time, I found a material that sealed the powers of the superhumans. If you cover every inch of a space with it, without any gaps, the superhumans within it can't use their powers.”
“Ugh…!”
“Sounds useful, but it isn't. It's not easy to seal a power in a square room, especially when you don't even understand how it works.”
“Enough…Stop… Shut up!”
"But it's really useful in this situation. Since I'm the one who welcomes the uninvited guest, I can easily lock them up. Don't you think it's strange that the other spaces are all blue, but this one has an iron-colored door?"
With those words, the battle continued.
Kim Sun-woo dodged attacks and fired fire while Han Seo-eun used her durable suit to block the attacks on Da-in behalf, and Da-in attacked from behind.
“…Things are going badly. Seo-eun, just in case, if anything goes wrong, you should run away first.”
“What…What are you talking about, oppa? Don't say such strange things, focus on the fight…!”
With those words, Han Seo-Eun gritted her teeth and crossed her suit in front of her body, deploying a defensive shield.
It looked like she was at a disadvantage, having to defend Da-in, who had zero defense, but that wasn't necessarily the case.
"….Ugh. Those bastards are rebelling so strongly. It's unbelievable."
It's basically because of Da-in's cautious nature that he's able to attack Kim Sun-woo from behind with all kinds of weapons.
Seo-eun was also on the defensive, but she managed to get in some sharp attacks in between.
Of course, in the process, her suit shattered, sending pieces flying in all directions, especially the parts with the small bomb launchers.
Anyway, what seemed like it would be a quick battle turned out to be a protracted one.
…And especially since Dr. Kim wasn't exactly an active villain…Even if he had superpowers, his physical limitations soon became apparent.
“Ha…”
The bomb that Da-in had thrown just moments before exploded right next to Sun-woo's head and hit him, and the doctor looked annoyed now.
“This is getting annoying, is it time for it to end?”
With those words, Sun-woo, who had fixed his broken glasses, flicked his hand away.
-Koooooooooow.
Countless fireballs formed above him and flew toward Seo-eun.
“Ugh…!”
It was obviously a special move.
Seeing them, she deployed her defense shield to block the attack as best she could…
It was Kim Sun-woo's plan.
“You caught me off guard.”
“What…!”
At that moment, Han Seo-eun blocked the flames.
Kim Sun-woo flew in front of Da-in in an instant, faster than ever before, with a lightning bolt wrapped around his body.
At the same time.
“…!”
-Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
The sonic boom from Kim Sun-woo's body immediately struck Da-in.
Along with it, Da-in was thrown back and slammed into the wall.
-Kuuuuuuuuuuu
“Oppa!!!”
At that sight, Seo-eun's breath was taken away in terror.
Forgetting her own exhaustion, she flew toward Da-in in a flash.
She saw him, slumped against the wall and hurrying forward, she took off her suit's helmet to check him out.
Da-in is leaning against the wall with his head bleeding and his eyes closed.
“Ugh…”
He's groaning, but half-conscious.
Thanks to the bulletproof material in his coat, he seems to be alive and for a moment, she was relieved.
“Freeze, or I'll shoot him.”
A chilling voice came from behind her.
She turned to see Sun-woo smiling coldly, pointing a blue lightning bolt at Da-in with a cold smile, as if he had won.
…The same creepy smile he used to wear when his experiments were successful.
Han Seo-eun growled at him with a furious expression.
“…Ha. Don't move? Why don't you take a look around?”
“Huh? You haven't grasped the situation yet, what…”
After saying that and looking around him, Kim Sun-woo realized the situation and stiffened.
The pieces of Seo-eun’s suit that had fallen off during the fight…The ones that he had thought had been shattered by his attack.
Ziiiiiiiing.
Unbeknownst to him, they were floating in the air, their crimson laser orifices illuminated, surrounding Kim Sun-woo.
“The suit… Did you intentionally make it look like it's falling apart, or are you actually using drones or something to surround me? Hehe… Who taught you that? You've got a trick up your sleeve.”
“Shut up. If you don't stay still, I'll open fire.”
Just like that, a standoff was formed.
Sun-woo's blue lightning was aimed at the fallen Da-in and in return, Seo-Eun's countless laser shards aimed at Sun-Woo.
It was a trick that Seo-Eun came up with in a desperate attempt to protect Da-in in a time of crisis.
…But in the end, Da-in was injured, and they were only able to create a standoff.
Kim Sun Woo, in addition to wiping out her entire family, now wants to take away her only new family.
Seo-eun cringed.
Unable to control herself, she shouted at Kim Sun-woo with a trembling voice.
“You…what is wrong with you?”
“In the past, you abused us with your ridiculous experiments…Now you're sacrificing countless people for the ridiculous goal of conquering Korea.
Why? What's wrong with you? Do you think you're so important? If all of HanEun Group's evil deeds were exposed, why don't you just shut up and die? Why… Why do you have to be the last one!”
Seo-eun screams in anger and in response.
“Hehe…It's strange to hear that…Child, you must be mistaken about something.”
Dr. Sun-woo smiled coldly and spoke in his most sincere voice.
“I am not seeking to conquer Korea. Why would I do such a thing?”
“…What?”
“Or do you think I wish for the destruction of this country? I only wish to save the world. Didn't you even notice that?”
What a ridiculous thing to say.
Han Seo-Eun controlled her emotions and spoke in a cold voice, refuting his words point by point.
“Again…again, to the end, you tortured us with your illegal experiments. After the powers were taken away, you created villains by mass-producing superpowers.
And after that, you started by attacking the Association, then the broadcast stations, and now you're sending villains to attack the country when we're here today…What? You never planned to conquer Korea, and you expect us to believe that?”
Kim Sun-woo laughed with a wide grin at Seo-eun blunt words, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world,
"Hahaha… Oh my, oh my. Han Seo-eun. You really don't know anything. Right. This must also be my lack of virtue.
Anyway, since it's time, I'll tell you everything. It's a long story…”
With a strange pillar of light behind him and the machine beeping strangely, Kim Sun-woo finally began to speak.
