## Summary

### Day 140: December 11, 2033

Cyfty deflects Toast's green plasma blast and charges at him. However, Toast manages to escape down a hill, leaving the group frustrated. Toast, catching his breath, hides behind a large tree, relieved at narrowly avoiding capture.

As George suggests checking on Jun, Xuanyu reassures him, confident that Jun is likely fine. The conversation shifts to Rose, as Xuanyu asks her to join Izuzunu. Rose hesitates, expressing concerns about potential harm from Toast. Xuanyu reassures her, emphasizing the mutual protection within Izuzunu. Rose, however, decides to leave, feeling unaccustomed to such attention. In a moment of misunderstanding, Xuanyu stumbles over his words. Suddenly, Rose breaks free from her restraints, kicking Xuanyu, George, and Mikey before attempting to escape. The citizens give chase, but Rose activates mechanical wings, soaring over the wall. Upon realizing Rose has escaped, the group speculates about the origin of her wings, noting their similarity to Xuanyu's.

In a powerful and intense moment, Jun's eyes turn bright red as a strange voice in his head urges him to reveal his true powers. With a shout, Jun charges towards Piller, catching him off guard. In a swift motion, Jun slices off Piller's left arm and kicks him away, sending Piller crashing into the walls of God's Kingdom. Piller, in immense pain, reacts by unleashing shards towards Jun, who effortlessly slices them into pieces. Jun's eyes return to normal as he continues to attack Piller, expressing his anger at Piller for taking Izuzunu away and causing harm to those he loves in Hwalshindo. As Jun confronts Piller, he questions him about his actions, specifically mentioning Piller's daughter. Piller, still in pain, reluctantly admits to his deeds, claiming he thought he had to take certain actions. In the confrontation between Jun and Piller, Jun demands to know why Piller is attacking them. Piller reveals his deep-seated resentment toward humans, blaming them for causing his pain and loss, particularly in the 80s. He expresses a desire for revenge against the human empire. As Piller stands in pain, he explains that the Doom Brigade's destiny is to exterminate all human life on Kepkury using a weapon known as the drip. Jun questions if Piller possesses the drip, but Piller clarifies that the drip armor is located somewhere on Kepkury. Jun inquires about Piller's hatred for humans, and Piller recounts the story of his daughter, El, who ventured to the human-populated nation of Novishi in the center of Kepkury. Piller's bitterness stems from the advanced technology and beauty he witnessed in Novishi. Piller reveals the tragic history of the Kalkruts, his people, who were persecuted and killed by humans due to their blue skin color. The humans used to use them as slaves. Recounting the brutal deaths of his daughter El and son Lemmy, Piller expresses his deep-seated hatred for humans rooted in historical oppression, slavery, and torture. Jun, moved by empathy, apologizes for the actions of his kind.

Tears welling in both their eyes, Jun explains that he is different from the humans in Novishi. Piller, touched by Jun's understanding, decides he no longer wants to be evil. He warns Jun about the Doom Brigade, revealing that his son, Cole, will succeed him as their leader. Piller shares this information, expressing a desire to reunite with his deceased daughter, and then, facing his sword towards his chest, hints at a tragic decision. Facing the decision to end his life, Piller, acknowledging the danger posed by his son Cole's power, chooses to commit suicide. Jun tries to dissuade him, suggesting a chance for a different life in Izuzunu, but Piller is resolute. Piller expresses gratitude for Jun's understanding, and with a smile, he forcefully drives the sword into his chest, ending his life. Jun, witnessing Piller's death, refrains from intense emotions, deciding not to cry. He crouches beside Piller's lifeless body, closing his eyes as a gesture of respect. Evelyn, Lilly, Chloe, and Cyfty arrive, expressing their exhaustion. Jun reveals Piller's choice, and the group reflects on the somber moment. As the wind blows, Jun bids farewell to Piller, uttering a final "Rest in Peace."
