Chapter 198 - Forbidden love

Kim sits on the floor.

The Eye of Revelation is open.

He focuses on a single memory:

The shopping mall incident.

He remembers it clearly.

His mother…

Mary…

Screams…

A gunshot…

Blood.

He whispers:

"Show me the fracture."

The memory cracks.

Sound slows down.

The bullet stops midair.

The scene freezes.

Then—

It shatters like glass.

It was not a robbery.

Not thieves.

Not random.

It was—

An execution.

The Original Memory

The same place.

But different.

The air is heavy with dense energy.

His mother stands in front of Mary.

Not terrified.

Ready.

Before her stands a being with human features…

but completely black eyes.

It says:

"You know this child should not exist."

Young Kim trembles behind her.

His mother replies with celestial calm:

"He is not a mistake."

The entity smiles coldly.

"He is a prophecy."

She turns for a moment—

looks at Kim with eyes full of pain.

She whispers:

"Forgive me… I will make you hate me… so you can live."

Then—

She herself releases the energy that creates the "incident."

She causes the explosion.

Erases the memory.

Plants the robbery story.

Dies before him… artificially.

Not because she was forced.

But because she chose to.

The Greater Shock

The Eye of Revelation goes further.

Before that.

A dark place.

A black throne.

A man sits upon it.

Faint horns.

Red eyes that hold no evil—

only ancient pride.

A deep voice:

"You know our union will ignite a war."

His mother— with her wings— stands before him.

"I know."

The man rises.

"I am a demon of the royal bloodline."

"And you are an angel of the Order's guardians."

"This union… is forbidden."

She steps closer to him.

"I don't see a problem in that. You love me, and I love you. I do not see you as a demon… but as my husband."

"I see you as a father… to our coming child."

Heavy silence.

His hand rests on her stomach.

An unnatural pulse is heard.

He whispers:

"If he is born… he will be the Heir of Chaos."

She responds:

"No. He will be a choice."

Return to the Present

Kim falls to his knees.

His breathing falters.

"My father… a demon?"

The system shakes violently.

Part of lineage seal released

Status: Heir of Chaos — Royal Bloodline

Classification: Child of the Prophecy

Cosmic threat level: Undefined

The Abyss laughs softly.

"You are not a victim."

"And not an experiment."

"You are the result of forbidden love…"

"Between Order and Chaos."

His eye trembles.

"So… the incident…"

"Was staged."

"My memories… fake."

The Abyss whispers:

"Your mother tampered with your memory."

"She planted a past… to keep you away from thrones."

"She sealed your true power… so the prophecy would not awaken."

Kim presses his hand to his chest.

He feels the seal burning.

A voice inside him—

not his own.

Calm.

Ancient.

"I am here."

He freezes.

"Who are you?"

The voice replies:

"I am what your mother feared you would become."

The system explodes with a new notification:

Internal Entity: Royal Heir of Chaos

Status: Suppressed — 82%

At full release — Law reconstruction possible

Tears fall from Kim's eyes.

Not weakness.

Understanding.

His mother did not hate him.

Did not curse him.

Did not wish he was never born.

She—

Fought heaven and hell together…

So he could be born.

A broken smile forms on his face.

"You knew… I would become a monster?"

The Abyss whispers:

"No."

"She knew… you would become stronger than them all."
