Synopsis

The chapter begins with the introduction of Lieutenant Park Haeseong, a B-Rank player and soldier, who encounters Baek Gyeowool. After a brief exchange, the chapter shifts focus to the appearance of a powerful, parasitic entity with roots, seemingly connected to a divine tree. Multiple divine beings are shown to be interested in these events, particularly in the entity's crown, which is linked to Kali and suggests a larger plot involving Xerxes and other powerful figures. The chapter ends with a declaration from Gyeowool to defeat the entity, seeing its defeat as key to understanding what is happening.
