#### Korean War

Sunwoo explains that from her family records, they were able to observe that immortals had one thing in common, that their strength was affected by their emotions. Thus, Sunwoo tells Chulsoo that the secret to killing an immortal lies in their emotions, especially the emotions of love. She gives the example of how Suki was able to withstand the attack of a satellite blast in the past, yet was easily stabbed by Sunwoo with a knife with Chulsoo’s DNA. Sunwoo proceeds to tell Chulsoo to kill Jaeshin so that Suki doesn't get weaker as the Baekryun Foundation raided her home and unleashed the Suki clone, who Suki would not be able to defeat in her current state.

Suki's clone shows up to kill Jaeshin, but Chulsoo shows up to save him.

Myeong Hae pretends to be defeated, but then reveals that with the powers absorbed, he is already beyond the state of a mere immortal, going beyond the realm of regeneration and entering into the realm of creation. Blade shadows extend from his limbs and as he kills Chulsoo.
