The sky warped.
Not cracked. Not torn.
It bowed.
Arrival of the Omega Unit
The massive gate above the battlefield expanded slowly, as if reality itself was struggling to contain what was coming out.
Then it stepped through.
System Construct – Omega Unit
Its form was humanoid—but incomplete, constantly shifting between shapes.
Unlike the Alpha Units…
This one had presence.
Seo-Ah felt it instantly.
"Bro… it's heavier than the Administrator…"
Hwan-Guk swallowed hard.
"That thing… is not normal."
System Declaration
The Omega Unit spoke—not through sound, but directly into existence.
"Sovereign Entity recognized."
"Engagement: Absolute."
The ground beneath it collapsed.
Alpha Units retreated further.
Even they… were not on its level.
First Movement
The Omega Unit vanished.
No motion. No trace.
Just absence.
Then—
It appeared directly in front of Tae-Hyun.
Its fist already mid-strike.
Impact
Tae-Hyun blocked.
For the first time—
The ground beneath him shattered outward violently.
A shockwave ripped through the battlefield, forcing even Alpha Units to stagger.
Seo-Ah's sanctuary trembled.
"Bro—!"
Equal Force
Tae-Hyun slid back a few steps.
Not far.
But enough.
The Omega Unit tilted its head slightly.
"Confirmation: Comparable Output."
Seung-Ho's voice shook.
"Comparable…? That means—"
Hwan-Guk cut in.
"That thing can actually fight him head-on."
Adaptation Beyond Limits
The Omega Unit raised its hand.
Its body shifted.
Copied.
Refined.
Its stance changed—
Now mirroring Tae-Hyun's posture perfectly.
Seo-Ah's eyes widened.
"It's copying him… not like before… this is deeper."
Clash of Sovereign and System
They moved at the same time.
No delay.
No hesitation.
Fist met fist.
Strike met strike.
Each collision shattered the surrounding space, distorting reality itself.
Alpha Units were erased just from the shockwaves.
The Difference Shows
The Omega Unit adapted with every exchange.
Faster.
Sharper.
Closer to perfection.
But—
Tae-Hyun didn't change.
He didn't need to.
Breaking Point
The Omega Unit launched a full-force strike.
Perfect angle.
Perfect timing.
Perfect power.
Tae-Hyun didn't block.
He stepped inside the attack.
And grabbed its arm.
Dominance
Everything stopped.
For a single moment—
The battlefield froze.
Tae-Hyun tightened his grip.
"You're close," he said calmly.
The Omega Unit's body glitched violently.
"Error… deviation detected…"
Tae-Hyun's eyes darkened.
"But you're still following rules."
The First Crack
He pulled—
And slammed the Omega Unit into the ground.
The impact split the battlefield in half.
Its body fractured.
Not destroyed.
But damaged.
For the first time—
A higher construct showed weakness.
System Reaction
Across the sky:
[Critical Alert]
Omega Unit integrity compromised
Alpha Units began repositioning.
More gates started opening.
Seo-Ah clenched her fists.
"They're not stopping…"
Before Collapse
The Omega Unit slowly rose again.
Damaged.
But evolving.
"Adaptation… continuing…"
Tae-Hyun stepped forward.
Unshaken.
"Good."
His presence expanded again.
Stronger.
Heavier.
Unavoidable.
