"At the end of all sin… stands the truth we were never meant to reach."

The three keys—Heart of Regret, Code of Betrayal, and Lock of Love—floated before Jiwoon, spinning in unison like orbiting moons. The chamber surrounding him trembled. The air cracked with unseen force.

[System Update: Final Seal Engaged]

[Gate to the Heart of Judgment – Status: UNLOCKED]

Eri: "It's the origin layer."

Jiwoon stepped forward.

"I'm ready."

"Not to destroy it…

[New Realm Unlocked: The Tribunal Zone]

[You may now shape, challenge, or rewrite systemic law—if you survive.]

[Next Phase: The Game of Divine Reckoning Begins]

Some… divine.

Waiting.

Watching.

Whispering one final truth:

"No one walks through the gate and returns unchanged."

"The hunter will become the judge…"
