Phoenix had been defeated.

Though clearly at a disadvantage with only three officers, after being joined by Gaechonkwang and Karna, they were ultimately overwhelmed fighting at a ratio of 1:4.

“Well, how should we handle this?”

“We gotta wait for Seongju.”

“Hold on, will you listen to me?”

Karna licked his lips with his thumb and grinned.

“It’s only natural that the victor claims the vanquished. Since I was the one who caught her, it’s only right that I claim her.”

Phoenix was dragged away by Karna while restrained.

* * *

Phoenix had gone missing.

Near the Caspian Sea, clear traces of battle remained, and Phoenix’s feathers were scattered and torn.

Phoenix had lost.

Had she not lost, she would have surely returned to Seoul, but Phoenix never came back.

– If Phoenix dies, all monsters will vanish simultaneously.

The Blue Wind Sect’s monsters lived each day in fear, uncertain when or where they might disappear.

Some defected, others submitted to the Hero Association, and still others continued under the Blue Wind Sect’s name as a vigilante group in Seoul.

It was then, one year after Phoenix’s disappearance, that several mysterious CDs addressed to an unknown recipient, “Seol Hwa-ryeong,” arrived at the Korean Hero Association.

* * *

“…Is this all of it?”

Seok Harang swallowed hard as he stared at the screen. Most individuals related to Phoenix were present, having mustered the courage to uncover the truth.

“…I can’t watch this.”

Cheon Gaeul removed her mask and covered her face with both hands, unable to accept the reality of Phoenix’s defeat even after a year.

“But we need to see the truth.”

Yun Yuhwa’s eyes were swollen, yet he steeled his resolve and nodded. Seok Harang hesitated for a long time before retrieving the CD.

#1, #41, and numerous other numbers culminated at #141.

The officials gulped as if the carefully selected 153 CDs contained secrets too shocking to behold.

“This is…the one we’ve heard about…”

“Shut up, it’s making me sick.”

“…Let’s do it.”

Whirr.

An outdated CD player hastily retrieved began to spin. Soon, #1’s video started playing.

“Goodness…!”

There, Phoenix lay unconscious and naked, being taunted by a tanned blonde man.

* * *

# 1.

[Ah, can you see me?]

The man introduced himself as Karna. His dark, sun-kissed skin contrasted starkly with Phoenix’s porcelain complexion.

[Sorry about the poor video quality. This is my first time doing something like this.]

Karna waved playfully. The officials seethed with anger but were more shocked by the timestamp in the bottom-right corner.

July 2020.

Only days after Phoenix’s Big Ben terrorism incident, meaning this video was filmed over a year ago.

[Whoever ends up watching this, consider it a record. Maybe one day I’ll see it again, or maybe she will. Hahaha!]

Karna laughed heartily as he grabbed and twisted Phoenix’s breasts. Brown fingers wrapped around her white chest, pinching the nipples.

[…]

Phoenix remained unconscious despite the apparent pain. The officials bristled at Karna’s actions.

“To molest someone unconscious…!”

“Calm down, it’s already too late.”

[Phoenix lost to me. Naturally, I decided to claim my prize.]

Karna cradled Phoenix’s abdomen and staggered along. The camera captured Phoenix’s exposed privates.

[No one has ever experienced this place. It’s mine to take.]

Crunch.

Two of Karna’s fingers plunged roughly into Phoenix’s vagina. With no regard for gentleness, he pulled her onto his thighs near the bed.

Thud.

Phoenix’s head drooped. Karna leaned in like a lover embracing their partner, his gaze fixed on the camera lens.

Slurp.

Karna licked and nibbled on Phoenix’s earlobe with his tongue, teasing her nipples and privates with his hands in an attempt to awaken her.

[…]

But Phoenix didn’t stir. After caressing her for some time, Karna clicked his tongue and turned Phoenix’s body to face him.

[Finally, the main event.]

Below Phoenix’s groin, Karna’s erect penis stood proudly, pointing skyward like a sunflower. Some officials averted their eyes.

“What madness…!”

“Is that even human-sized?!”

Thick and grotesque, someone compared their own forearm to Karna’s member and nearly fainted.

[While I don’t prefer her unconscious state…]

Slurp.

Karna slowly guided Phoenix down onto him, holding her waist. The crimson glans parted her pale flesh, disappearing inch by inch as Karna gripped her buttocks and slightly brought her legs together.

[Doesn’t this feel just like lovers making love? Hehe.]

Smack.

Karna kissed Phoenix’s collarbone before turning his head to look directly at the camera lens.

Drip.

Blood trickled from Phoenix’s vagina. Karna’s grin stretched impossibly wide.

[To whoever watches this, let me make one thing clear… I, Karna, am the one who took Phoenix’s virginity!]

Squelch!

Karna released her hips. Bright red handprints marked her pale buttocks as he embraced her lower back.

[Hmm, absolutely wonderful… So good… A body I could enjoy forever without getting tired.]

Karna’s gaze remained fixed on the camera lens, as if issuing a public declaration to everyone watching.

[I wonder how many times I’ll get to enjoy her until the end of the world. Hahaha!]

Snap.

Karna thrust his hips powerfully, and the video crackled before cutting off.

Though barely ten minutes long, the video left an indelible shock.

Yet, there were still many CDs remaining.

“…I’ll play the next one.”

Yun Yuhwa exchanged the disc with a face full of venomous intent.

* * *

# 4.

[Ahh, hnnn… Haaa…]

As soon as the video started, the back view of a disheveled blue-haired Phoenix appeared. The camera filmed her naked body from behind, shaking wildly.

[Haaah, huuu…]

Phoenix was conscious but moaning continuously. These weren’t moans of pain but unmistakably ones of pleasure.

“Hurry up and admit your defeat!”

“No way… Never!” Phoenix gasped.

The video shook violently as Phoenix’s body pitched forward, collapsing onto the pillow.

Thump thump thump.

The sound of flesh colliding echoed. The camera panned down Phoenix’s back, revealing her reddened buttocks and the crimson glans resting between them.

“Just admit you lost in the fight, isn’t that enough? Time to acknowledge it.”

“I will never admit defeat…! It was 4-on-1; you guys didn’t even try to kill us…” Phoenix whimpered.

Crunch.

The glans reentered her vagina. Phoenix’s privates were coated in semen from countless previous ejaculations.

“Is that so? Now it’s 1-on-1, isn’t it? Your body seems to be telling the truth even if your words don’t.”

Karna neatly combed Phoenix’s semen-drenched blue hair over her shoulder, forcing her face into the frame despite her attempts to hide it.

“Every time I thrust, you squeeze me so tightly. For someone who was supposedly a virgin, you’re surprisingly skilled.”

“No, it’s different!” Phoenix’s flushed face was streaked with tears of laughter.

Karna thrust forcefully, embedding his entire length inside her. Phoenix’s eyes rolled back as she clenched her teeth.

“Hiiik…!”

“Do you see now? Aren’t you enjoying this? Are you still refusing to admit defeat?”

Karna raised Phoenix’s torso and pinned her arms behind her. A full-length mirror reflected their positions.

“No! Stop filming…”

“Why?”

“It’s embarrassing… Please stop filming!”

“If you do this, I’ll stop.”

Karna reached down, grabbing her breasts and pulling her upper body toward him. Phoenix’s head tilted backward, exposing her neck to the camera as Karna whispered in her ear.

“…Say it to the mirror.”

“…Karna-sama’s dick is the best…”

Click.

The video ended abruptly.

The officials fell silent, yet a large stack of CDs remained.

“…I’ll play the last one.”

They couldn’t bear to watch the intermediate clips. Thus, they inserted the final numbered disc, #141.

* * *

# 141.

The screen was black.

However, the officials noticed the yellow date stamp in the bottom-right corner and clamped their hands over their mouths.

July X, 2021.

This video had been filmed just yesterday.

Bang!

Cheon Gaeul slammed her fist against the wall. Though the pitch-black footage revealed little, faint sounds carried through.

“Aww… Please stop filming… It’s embarrassing.”

A coquettish whine, far different from her earlier fierce resistance.

“Phoenix…?”

And indeed, this voice matched the one from #4, fiercely denying defeat.

Flash!

Golden light erupted from the ceiling. Like a golden sun breaking through darkness, it illuminated the room.

There sat Phoenix demurely on the bed, eliciting gasps from the viewers.

“Wha… She’s pregnant?”

Phoenix sat cross-legged on the bed like a modest lady, dressed unlike in the previous videos.

A pristine white wedding gown adorned her, her head covered by a turquoise veil. Her hands rested neatly on her swollen belly.

“She’s…pregnant?”

Phoenix gently stroked her swollen stomach with a smile never seen by the officials—yet one everyone desired.

[Mother, they’re kicking inside… Who could they resemble?]

[Obviously you.]

[What do you mean by that? What are you talking about?]

Phoenix glared at the cameraman, but her glare lacked irritation or contempt. Instead, her eyes sparkled with affection.

That was undoubtedly the gaze of someone in love.

[Alright, last one. Say hello.]

[Oh, it’s embarrassing…]

[I’m embarrassed too. To lose and then record videos like this…]

[…Some explanation is necessary. Give it here.]

Phoenix extended her hand toward the camera. A neatly groomed man in a black tuxedo with golden hair adjusted his cheek awkwardly.

[Can you see me well? It’s been a while…]

Phoenix smiled shyly while capturing herself and Karna in the frame.

[So… One year ago, after losing 1-on-4, I engaged in a sex battle with Karna. We fought nonstop for six months without rest…]

The camera panned downward. Phoenix’s belly was noticeably swollen, and a golden ring gleamed on her left finger, resembling a sun.

[And somehow… I managed to win eventually… Puhehe.]

[Karna got her pregnant.]

[Someone stop embarrassing me…]

Phoenix lightly punched Karna’s side. Karna winced, pressing his lips together.

Clearly, Phoenix had gained the upper hand over Karna, yet inexplicably refused to leave his side.

[Everyone… I’m sorry, but I technically won against dicks… But…]

Phoenix lowered her head and smiled softly.

[I couldn’t win against the baby in my belly… I can’t kill its father before it’s even born.]

[Don’t worry. Knowing about the pregnancy, we postponed it. Six months forward, six months back.]

[Quiet, will you? …Anyway, I apologize. Finding happiness with Karna, we’re leaving. We’ve caused quite a ruckus but left only this video message.]

Phoenix scratched her head and waved.

[Goodbye, everyone! Casting off all the shackles and burdens of this world, I’m setting out to find my happiness. Be happy too!]

Click.

The video ended.

Silence enveloped the officials.

“…How dare you start a family and run off like that!!!”

Their rage pierced the heavens.

Yet the sun burned silently, radiating golden light.

* * *

Seongju arrived on Earth aboard the boatman.

Many heroes attacked Seongju, but none succeeded in removing his robe.

“Where are Karna and Phoenix?”

Seongju searched for the vanished pair. Then he spotted two, no, three suns escaping Earth.

“…Whatever.”

Earth was conquered, and his mission accomplished.

Seongju began the ritual to summon the interdimensional deity.

* * *

The interdimensional deity opened its eyes.

Awakening to the call of its subordinate, the deity rose groggily.

Woooom—

A golden and blue comet-like object, along with something blending both colors, zipped past the deity.

Flash!

Blinded!

Just as the deity surrendered to the flow of interstellar currents, a piercing blue light struck its eyes. Shielding its face with its hands, the deity blinked repeatedly.

Who’s shining high beams here like an idiot?

Crunch.

Reaching out, the deity crushed the presumptuous fireflies and resumed its journey.

Earth.

Toward where Seongju awaited, the deity soared on the wind.
