The ground trembles beneath Qin's feet.
Dust spreads across the ruined street.
Punk steps forward slowly, wiping blood from his lip.
"You're not touching this planet again."
Qin laughs — a cold, irritated sound.
"You still want to fight?"
Punk cracks his knuckles.
"I'm not done yet."
Paul asks "What about Romen?"
Punk says, "Take him to his home!"
Punk replies, "However, my desire is not fulfilled. I really wanted to fight your father. He was a dominant ruler and also dominant in battle."
Qin smirks. "You are not broken. I'm still alive."
"However, we can't revive a dead person,"
Punk. says. "And currently, I think the next number is yours."
Qin laughs cruelly. "I can fulfill your desire, mortal."
Paul comes near Romen's body. He lifts Romen and checks his pulse. Romen is still breathing — not dead — but his eyes are closed, and his pulse is going down slowly.
"I'm sorry, Romen. I was late."
Paul launches straight toward Romen's home while holding him. While flying, he wonders if Romen will survive.
He increases his speed to the maximum.
He sees a lake nearby — calm and peaceful.
On the other side, there is a quiet house. No people nearby.
He looks at Romen and thinks, So this is Romen's home.
He lands while holding Romen in his arms. With one hand, he clicks the doorbell.
A voice comes from inside.
"Sin, check who is outside."
Paul is nervous. He doesn't know what to tell Romen's family.
The door finally opens.
He sees a kid around ten years old looking at him.
Sin looks at his father and asks, "Is this Dad?"
Paul is unable to reply. His voice trembles.
Sin looks closer.
"Dad!"
Marina comes outside and sees Paul holding her husband.
Her eyes become watery.
She starts crying when she sees Romen.
Paul quickly says, "Hey, stop, stop! Romen is still alive."
Sin says, "I know my dad cannot die that
easily. He is the strongest on the whole planet. He is a god."
Paul puts Romen down, but Marina tries to hold him. Paul refuses and carries Romen to the bedroom.
He gently places Romen on the bed.
Marina tries calling a doctor.
No reply. Only a message: No signal.
Paul says, "Calling anyone is useless now. The city towers, infrastructure, police — everything is almost gone. People are just surviving."
Marina asks loudly, "What happened to Romen?"
Paul clears his throat.
"Romen's body got exposed to a poison that one alien was carrying in his body.
Unfortunately, Romen killed him, and then this happened."
Sin asks, "So my dad defeated the threat?"
Paul replies, "One still remains."
"I have to go now. Punk is alone handling him. I think Romen needs rest. Take care of him."but...
Marina asks, "And what?"
Paul replies, "Pray for him."
Sin looks shocked. "Pray?"
Marina realizes Romen has a low chance of surviving.
She sits on the floor and starts crying.
Paul says nothing.
He immediately leaves Romen's house and flies toward the battle area.
He senses huge power levels forming from the battlefield, and they keep increasing.
He rushes toward it.
He finds Punk charging up while Qin stands quietly.
Punk shouts, "Ha ha! Here is your second father!"
He charges up in his enhanced state.
"Ready to send you to hell!"
Paul watches from the sky.
Punk looks overconfident,
but Paul can sense he is also scared.
Because Qin is still standing quietly — just observing. No trash talk. No power-up. Just calm.
Punk charges forward, throwing nonstop punches and blows one after another.
Then he strikes a kick toward Qin's head.
Qin stops it with two fingers.
Punk's confidence slightly drops.
Qin rotates Punk's leg and throws him away.
But Punk balances himself and lands without damage.
"So this is your 100%?" Punk says.
Qin makes a heart-shaped gesture with his fingers.
He releases a beam toward Punk.
Punk laughs. "So this is all you got?"
Punk dodges it easily.
But the beam returns.
"What the hell!" Punk shouts.
He dodges again.
But the beam keeps following him.
Punk holds one hand with the other.
"Bang!"
He fires a blast toward the beam.
The beam doesn't break — it absorbs the attack.
Now it follows Punk even faster than before.
"Punk! I'm coming!" Paul shouts.
He rushes at full speed to save Punk.
But suddenly Qin catches him, bites his hand, and tears it.
Paul screams.
"Ahhhhh!"
Punk jumps into the air and looks back.
The beam hits him.
It shatters Punk's chest.
Punk crashes to the ground.
Blood pours out, but his eyes remain open.
He refuses to accept defeat.
Qin walks toward him.
Paul suddenly appears behind Qin.
Qin launches the beam again.
Paul runs as the beam follows him.
He changes direction repeatedly.
But it is useless.
Finally, he moves near Qin.
Qin dodges, redirects the beam, and it hits Paul.
Paul falls.
But Qin catches him mid-air.
He holds Paul and says quietly,
"I want to eat you right now."
Paul is unconscious and bleeding heavily.
Qin opens his mouth to bite him.
Suddenly—
An explosion.
Qin dodges.
The blast hits a mountain, breaking massive rocks apart.
Qin looks irritated.
He turns toward Punk.
Punk is still standing.
"It's not over!" Punk screams.
Qin drops Paul.
He rotates his neck.
"Then come," Qin says.
Punk charges again, throwing nonstop attacks.
Qin suddenly grabs his throat.
Crushing it.
Punk struggles to breathe.
Qin places his hand forward.
Another explosion.
Punk is blasted far away.
He crashes into the ground.
Punk's eyes close.
He bleeds brutally.
Qin smirks.
"Fools."
He walks toward the city.
No one can stop him now.
On the other side, Romen is still fighting the poison inside his body.
Marina keeps changing the towel on Romen's forehead.
Sin watches silently.
"When will Dad wake up?" he asks.
Marina doesn't answer.
She simply hugs Sin.
Qin reaches the city.
Buildings are already destroyed.
But some are still standing.
He moves deeper into the city.
He sees empty streets.
He laughs loudly.
"So you worms are hiding now?"
He points a laser toward a skyscraper.
A boy opens a window, sees Qin, and quickly closes it.
"You all have no future."
"The truth is — you are all going to die."
"I will take revenge for my father."
He fires the laser.
A massive explosion.
The building collapses.
Fire spreads everywhere.
He fires more lasers.
Explosions echo across the city.
Flames spread through the streets.
Qin stands on a tall skyscraper and crosses his arms.
"Now I am the ruler of this planet."
He suddenly notices movement below.
A girl hiding under rubble.
Qin smiles.
He jumps down.
He removes the broken concrete.
"How did you survive?"
"But don't worry… it won't last long."
The girl trembles in fear.
She believes this is the end.
Suddenly—
A kick hits Qin from behind.
Qin is thrown several meters away.
He returns instantly.
Anger burns in his eyes.
"Punk! Why don't you die?!"
Punk stands there.
Blood pours from the hole in his chest.
"Run away!" Punk shouts.
The girl is too scared to move.
Qin turns back.
"No way. That's my dinner."
He grabs the girl by her throat.
"How dare you!" Punk roars
He kicks Qin's hand.
The girl falls to the ground.
Punk pushes Qin far away from her.
Qin punches Punk in the stomach.
Qin smiles.
"I really enjoy playing with you, Punk."
"I will miss you."
He repeatedly beats Punk.
Punk suffers heavy blows.
A final strike hits his neck.
Punk collapses.
Blood drips from his chest and mouth.
Qin stands above him.
Punk tries to stand.
His legs tremble.
Qin smiles.
"Now the show begins."
He grabs the girl again.
Holding her by the throat.
He looks at Punk.
"Drop her!" Punk shouts.
"Congratulations," Qin says.
"This innocent soul is now free from this cruel world."
Punk screams.
"Nooooo!"
He charges.
He strikes Qin's hand.
Qin fails to dodge.
Qin is thrown far away, smashing through broken buildings.
Punk lifts the unconscious girl.
He launches an energy blast toward Qin.
A huge explosion destroys the surrounding buildings.
Smoke fills the air.
Punk smiles.
"I won."
He flies toward Romen's home while holding the girl.
"Romen… I'm not behind you anymore," Punk laughs.
"I killed a threat too."
Pride shines in his eyes.
But the victory is temporary.
Qin slowly rises near Paul's body.
One foot burned.
Blood dripping.
Fury in his eyes.
"You think you won?"
He places his foot on Paul.
Meanwhile, Punk reaches Romen's house.
The girl slowly wakes up.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Saving your life from that monster," Punk replies.
"It's safe here."
"My home is burned."
"Is your family nearby?"
"Not in this city."
Punk smiles.
"You're a little like me."
He rings the doorbell.
Marina opens the door.
She sees Punk and the girl.
Punk walks inside silently.
"Where is Romen?" he asks.
He sees the bedroom door open.
Romen lies there.
Alive, but unconscious.
Punk gently places the girl down.
Marina asks, "Who is she?"
"My name is Lancia," the girl says.
Suddenly—
Punk senses something.
"No… it can't be."
Everyone looks at him.
Punk flies out instantly.
"How is this possible?" he whispers.
"But I killed him…"
He reaches the battlefield.
He sees Paul screaming.
Qin stands there, smiling.
Crushing Paul under his boot.
Punk screams.
He activates his enhanced state.
Every multiplier.
Even beyond his body's limits.
He appears in front of Qin.
"One more minute. Then I'm coming for you," Qin says.
"Enough!" Punk roars.
He attacks with furious strikes.
Qin dodges every attack.
He grabs Punk's arm.
Twists it.
Then smashes the center joint.
Punk falls.
He screams in agony.
"Ahhhhh!"
Qin kicks his leg.
Punk flies into a mountain.
His head crashes into the rock.
Qin turns away.
"Finally… he is gone."
"Punk?" Paul whispers weakly.
Suddenly—
Punk stands again.
Walking slowly.
Holding his broken arm.
Bleeding everywhere.
Qin stares.
"How… are you immortal?"
"Why don't you die?!"
"You wake up again like nothing happened!"
Qin throws Paul away.
"You have nothing!"
"No family!"
"No master!"
Punk steps forward.
"You're right."
"I'm an orphan."
"Maybe I have no one."
He smiles.
"But I still have a chance… someone like me exists."
Punk laughs.
"I will not die alone."
Qin steps back.
For the first time—
Fear appears in his eyes.
