Chapter 67 - Chapter 1:The Truth Behind 2025

**Scene 1: Awakening After 1.5 Months**

Darkness. Silence. Then—a single heartbeat.

**Ba-dump.**

Then another. **Ba-dump.**

Light pierces the void. His body feels heavy. A memory of the last battle—the **Calamity Emperor**, the **self-destruction**, the **big bang explosion**. Then—nothing.

Suddenly, **X's eyes snap open.**

A surge of golden energy erupts from his body, shattering the hospital bed beneath him. Machines **explode**, and the walls crack from the sheer pressure of his power returning.

The door **bursts open.**

**Chell, Rey, Rin, Lyz, Z, May, and Y rush in.**

**Chell (teary-eyed):** *"X!"*

She **throws herself at him**, hugging him tightly. Her fox ears tremble.

**Rey (punching his chest):** *"Took you long enough to wake up, idiot!"*

**Rin (pouting):** *"Do you even know how much we worried about you!?"*

X, still regaining his strength, smirks weakly.

**X:** *"I guess dying really isn't my thing, huh?"*

Z steps forward, his expression serious.

**Z:** *"You were out for 1.5 months, X. And while you were sleeping… we found out the truth about the 2025 Incident."*

### **Scene 2: The Truth About 2025**

Lyz waves her hand, summoning a **floating holographic projection.** The screen displays a **familiar sight**—Earth, the day **portals opened** and monsters flooded in.

But this time, they **zoom in further.**

Beyond the portal, **a massive floating city** hovers in another world. And at its center—

**A throne.**

And seated upon it, a **shadowed figure with glowing crimson eyes.**

**May:** *"This… this is the one who caused everything."*

The figure **smiles coldly** on the screen.

**???:** *"The experiment was a success. Let the OverKaizer come to me when he's ready."*

**X clenches his fists.**

**X:** *"…Who is he?"*

Lyz looks at him, eyes sharp.

**Lyz:** *"He's called the **Void Sovereign.** The true mastermind behind the 2025 Incident. And he's been waiting for you."*

**X's aura flares.**

**X (grinning):** *"Then I guess it's time we paid him a visit."*
