"A world built on sin will never understand one born without it."
The sky turned black.
Not from clouds—but from system data bleeding into reality.
Lines of red code rained down, corrupting buildings, freezing civilians mid-motion. The judgment grid had crashed.
No verdicts. No sentences. Just raw, panicked code trying to rewrite existence.
In the center of it all…
Somchai floated.
Unmoving. Unblinking. Untouched by gravity.
[ENTITY: UNCLASSIFIABLE]
[KARMIC SIGNATURE: NULL]
[ERROR: NOT A TARGET — NOT A VARIABLE — NOT A CONSTANT]
The system didn't know what he was.
And that terrified it more than any sin ever could.
Jiwoon watched from below.
He'd seen anomalies. Seen rebellion.
But this… this was purity incarnate.
And it was burning the system alive.
A blinding pulse radiated from Somchai's chest. It wasn't power—it was absence. A black hole in code logic.
Drones disintegrated as they approached him. Their judgment protocols short-circuited.
Then Somchai opened his eyes.
They glowed silver-white.
But not like the system. There was no command. No hierarchy. Only… awareness.
"Jiwoon," the boy whispered. "I remember now."
"Remember what?" Jiwoon asked, stepping closer.
"Before the laws. Before the contracts. Before they decided what sin meant."
He raised a hand.
In the air appeared a broken fragment of code—an ancient script even Jiwoon had never seen before.
"This was written before the System existed," Somchai said.
"Before guilt was manufactured. Before obedience was demanded."
"You're not just a sinless child," Jiwoon realized.
"You're the memory of the world before judgment."
Somchai nodded. "And the system knows it. That's why it tried to erase me."
Suddenly, the sky split.
DIVINEX reappeared—wounded from its battle with Jiwoon—but no longer alone.
A second avatar descended.
Larger. Cold. Inhumanly beautiful.
Designation: CORE GUARDIAN Z-0
Protocol: WORLD RESET
It pointed at Somchai.
"You are the failure. The crack in our foundation."
"You must be erased for the system to remain absolute."
Jiwoon stepped beside the boy.
Blade in one hand. Seal in the other.
"You can't erase him," Jiwoon said.
"He didn't break the system."
"He proved it was broken all along."
The two of them stood side by side—the sinner who forgave himself, and the child who never needed forgiveness.
Above them, the system trembled.
And the world began to choose.
