Kim opened gates to release everyone he had absorbed inside them. It wasn't a transfer to another world, but rather to another void of dimensional space, for Kim was no expert in time travel.
Among the crowd were many people, but Kim's eyes knew exactly where to look from afar. The "Cursed Heart" illuminated the path for his dim gaze—oh, the irony of fate.
Kim looked at her as his shield gradually faded. His eyes were empty, yet he felt something strange… a warmth in his chest. He didn't know if it was because he saw her safe and smiling at him, or because he had finally unleashed his anger on them.
Kim was surprised; he hadn't known she had a teleportation skill. She had been far away, yet she vanished in a blink and appeared right before him. She rushed in and hugged him—but the strange thing was: how could a man who remained standing through all these catastrophes fall to the ground from a simple push by a girl?
She looked at him, her expression showing happiness that he survived, mixed with fear for what he had gone through. She was angry at him and complained: "How can someone called the King of Destruction go through something like this?!"
He spoke to her as he gently moved her away from his body. He didn't care about anything; all he thought about was that he didn't want her to be tainted by what he carried within him.
Elena cast a healing spell on him. Everyone was shocked by Kim's dark aura and how freely Elena interacted with him. After the spell ended, Kim stood up with Elena at his side.
