After emerging from the Red Sea Church headquarters, Im Yu-na and the others climbed into a black van.
"Why did you stop us?"
Kang Tae-seong naturally took the wheel and asked Im Yu-na, who was seated in the back. Her face had been grimly set ever since. Beads of sweat still clung to her pretty forehead.
"...I saw a few seconds into the future. It was a future where you and Hae-jun got taken out without even landing a hand on him."
"Even if you and Hae-jun rushed him together? Was his lightning ability that dangerous? We thought it'd just be a jolt since we have resistance to powers..."
"...His combat prowess is beyond imagination. He doesn't seem like someone who grew up in a peaceful country at all. The way he moves his body, the way he handles his power... He's better than anyone I know. And besides..."
Im Yu-na fell silent.
"If even the branch chief says that... he must be one hell of a guy. But didn't he say he grew up normally?"
"Yes, that's right. His background is completely ordinary."
They had thoroughly investigated Sung Yu-jin's past. There was no way they'd charge into the Red Sea Church headquarters without any prior preparation.
The Sung Yu-jin they knew was someone born into an ordinary family in Seoul, who went to ordinary schools, got an ordinary job, and lived an ordinary life. His parents had died in a car accident two years ago, and while he had relatives, contact had been cut off long ago.
The only unusual point was that a few months ago, he'd had a conflict with his boss at work and gone missing. And somehow, Sung Yu-jin had become the de facto owner of the Red Sea Church. Im Yu-na predicted he'd acquired his system power during that disappearance.
Was the information wrong? No, they'd verified it ages ago.
"If that's really what you saw, then a head-on fight is off the table."
Kang Tae-seong said calmly. He didn't mind if a direct confrontation favored the enemy. Elpis's style wasn't brute force anyway. They worked with the police for arrests, or as a last resort, sniped from afar.
Long-range sniping.
Targeting system users in vulnerable moments and cleanly eliminating them. Then, the system power emerging from the corpse would be claimed by one of Elpis's own agents. That was how Elpis managed system powers.
"......"
Im Yu-na wore an uneasy expression. She couldn't put it into words, but thinking of Sung Yu-jin stirred a whirlwind of anxiety in her chest.
"Yu-na."
Park Hae-jun, in the passenger seat, craned his head back to call her.
"Yes, Hae-jun."
"You're not seriously thinking of accepting that guy into Elpis if he reaches out, right? He doesn't fit with us. A cult leader like him belongs in prison."
Park Hae-jun was openly hostile toward Sung Yu-jin.
The usual Im Yu-na would have argued back. Elpis was always short on manpower, and it was best to resolve ability-related matters amicably when possible. But Sung Yu-jin felt ominous.
"...One week. If he cleans up the Red Sea Church within a week and contacts me..."
"No way! Absolutely not! I'd quit Elpis before teaming up with that bastard!"
"...Hae-jun. Hear me out. If he contacts me and wants to meet in person... we capture him or kill him."
"...What?"
Park Hae-jun's eyes widened in shock. Im Yu-na wasn't the type to casually mention killing. Especially since she had the authority to do so.
"Sung Yu-jin... he's probably Jeokgwang. I can't be certain, but..."
"......!!"
Kang Tae-seong and Park Hae-jun looked stunned.
"Branch chief, what's the probability?"
"Over 90%."
"That's basically certain! What's your basis?"
"My ability."
"X-ray vision? ...Ah!"
The moment Im Yu-na detected Jeokgwang's hypnosis power, she clung to him without sleeping properly. She'd analyzed footage of Jeokgwang hypnotizing people and assaulting women nonstop.
Thanks to that, she knew Jeokgwang's body intimately.
The instant she saw Sung Yu-jin earlier, Jeokgwang came to mind. His solidly muscled build matched perfectly. Reflexively, she'd used her x-ray vision to scan him—and Jeokgwang's cock was strikingly similar to Sung Yu-jin's. Same build, same improbably massive size for an Asian man. Could that really be coincidence?
"I-Is that for real? But Jeokgwang has hypnosis powers, doesn't he?"
Park Hae-jun couldn't accept it easily. A person could only have one system power. Hypnosis meant no lightning.
"Maybe we've been wrong from the start. The hypnosis might belong to Seolgwang, not Jeokgwang."
Seolgwang hadn't been active lately, but he and Jeokgwang were always together. Jeokgwang always took the front, so they'd assumed the hypnosis was his.
"Those two have crossed the line far too many times."
Im Yu-na clenched her fist firmly. Hypnosis powers had to be controlled—no, eradicated if possible.
"One week is our prep time. We'll get government cooperation... and capture or kill Sung Yu-jin."
"......"
Park Hae-jun and Kang Tae-seong fell silent, overwhelmed by Im Yu-na's intensity. Among the three, she had the strongest will.
The day after the Elpis crew showed up, police began surveilling the Red Sea Church.
Over five detectives were tailing me alone. They were skilled, but they couldn't fool the senses and experience honed from hunter work.
"Sugella!"
I hypnotized them, turning them into my subordinates. Now, no matter what I did, they wouldn't report accurately to HQ.
'If the government decides to wipe out the Red Sea Church... I can't just sit idle. Gotta make some minimal preparations.'
First, I summoned over half the believers scattered nationwide to Seoul. Then, starting with lightly guarded spots like police stations, military units, and congressmen, I steadily hypnotized them into my service.
'Not enough to overthrow Korea yet... but with these guys, things will go smoother.'
Three days later.
I called Yoo Jae-kyung to my room.
"Oppa. Long time no see. You've been so busy lately?"
Yoo Jae-kyung had become far prettier than before. With the massive sums I'd given her, she'd eaten well and draped herself in top-tier luxury.
She'd spent that time happily with her awakened mother in a luxury penthouse.
"Busy. Did I tell you before? That I became the church's owner."
"Yeah, you did. I even asked if there was anything I could help with... but you said you didn't need me?"
Yoo Jae-kyung pouted playfully, shooting me a glance.
I wrapped one arm around her waist, slipping the other under her skirt. The soft warmth between her thighs met my fingertips.
"Haa... Oppa's touch after so long... I missed it."
Yoo Jae-kyung parted her legs slightly, letting me fondle her pussy comfortably. My fingers delved into her panties, caressing her folds.
"...Oppa, you don't do the robber thing anymore?"
"Why? Wanna play robber? I give you plenty of money."
Tens of billions every month. She was more attached than other girls, tamed by my hands.
Squelch. Her pussy was already wet before I even touched it. Probably aroused the moment I called her over.
Hadn't fucked her lately, so her body must be burning up.
I sat on the sofa, seating her on my lap. Spreading her legs wide lifted her skirt, revealing purple silk panties. I pushed them aside and slid a finger into her slick pussy hole.
"Haah! I've even gotten into spending sprees lately. Eut...!"
"Tried everything money can buy?"
"Yesss... Like in dramas, I threw my weight around at department stores... even donated. Fun at first, but it got boring. Rather fuck oppa... Haak!"
Squelch-squelch-squelch!
Each time my finger withdrew, it came out coated in her juices. I pushed up her top and pulled down her purple bra. Her firm D-cup tits stood perky, pink nipples erect at the tips.
"Sex is the best fun."
"I wanna play robber again. Thinking back, that thrill... Haak..."
I chuckled. Never expected her to straight-up ask for it.
"Jae-kyung. Ever thought about becoming a superhuman?"
Her eyes sparkled mid-moan from my fingers. She straightened up, locking eyes with me.
"Superhuman... Of course I wanna be one like oppa. Can I?"
"Satisfy the condition, and yes. Gotta kill someone directly. Can you do it?"
"I can!"
Yoo Jae-kyung answered without hesitation. I laid her on the sofa, lifting one leg. I rubbed my cock against her soaked pussy.
"Come with me tonight. I'll make you a superhuman."
2 a.m.
I was in a high-end apartment park in Seoul with Yoo Jae-kyung. We both wore suits and clown masks. Jeokgwang and Seolgwang were making a rare appearance.
A figure approached on foot along the deserted park path. Yoo Jae-kyung and I hid behind a large tree.
Park Hae-jun.
The telekinesis system user.
I'd hacked his address and number. Luring him out was easy. Guessed he liked Im Yu-na, so I messaged pretending to be her, calling him to the park.
Big success.
'Sugella!'
Hypnotized him on sight. But unlike before, it failed.
He'd leveled up his magic power and mental fortitude over the past months. No surprise. Enemies knew about hypnosis, so mental training was a given.
"Ready?"
I whispered to the tense Yoo Jae-kyung. She gripped her pistol tighter, then nodded.
"Yeah. Ready."
"Let's go."
We stepped out in front of Park Hae-jun. He startled at the sight of us, then scowled.
"Jeokgwang and Seolgwang!"
"Greetings. We know each other, right? Third time now?"
"Third? So you really are Sung Yu-jin?!"
Sung Yu-jin? How'd he guess my identity just from "third time"? As I frowned, Yoo Jae-kyung fired.
Bang! Bang-bang-bang!
But the bullets halted midair before reaching him. Caught by telekinesis.
Clatter. They dropped to the ground.
Then an invisible force crushed my body. Glancing sideways, Yoo Jae-kyung writhed in pain, dropping her gun.
"What did you do to Yu-na?!"
He thought I'd kidnapped Im Yu-na. No way he'd suspect my hacking skill.
"Urgh... She's alive. For now."
The crushing telekinesis eased slightly. I knew he lacked the mental strength to burst people with it. That's why I confronted him openly.
"Where? Where's Yu-jin? Tell me now!"
"At my place. Was under me just now. Her virgin pussy was so tight. Big tits too. Perfect flesh toilet... Gahk!"
I was slammed to the ground. Then my right arm twisted with a crunch.
"I'll kill you! Kill you!"
My body lifted again. At about 2 meters up, I smirked.
His mentality was sufficiently rattled.
"Sugella!"
