Obsession of the Neglected 6-Star Heroes

“So, what you’re saying is… someone deliberately twisted the course of fate?”

“Yes, that’s correct,” Keyal replied.

“One of the masterminds behind the coup that usurped the throne?”

Byakhyang, the ancient Imoogi who had lived through countless centuries, narrowed her eyes.

Even with her declining mystical powers, her ability to divine fate was far from extinguished.

Though her vision had dimmed with time, and her energy had waned, the fundamental nature of her gifts remained intact. Her diminished clarity only meant her interpretations required more effort—not that they had lost their validity.

For a thousand years, for what seemed like an eternity, Byakhyang had lived on this earth, her abilities becoming an intrinsic part of her existence. Yet now, this man dared to question her insight.

Byakhyang’s emotions wavered.

Her eyes reflected the waning moon, her lips curling into a faint, bitter smirk.

It wasn’t the kind of smile that suggested amusement.

For a moment, a phrase flitted through Keyal’s mind.

"...."

"...."

Keyal stifled a chuckle, pressing his lips together to keep the sound from escaping.

In the shadowy hut where the ancient Imoogi dwelled, an oppressive silence filled the air.

The atmosphere grew heavy, like a room filled with smoke.

“The mastermind, you say,” Byakhyang murmured finally, breaking the quiet.

It was the young man before her who both sustained the silence and shattered it.

Keyal spoke again, his voice calm and deliberate, breaking through the tension.

“…The mastermind, huh. Is that your answer to the hypothesis I posed earlier?”

Grit.

Byakhyang’s teeth clenched. His words didn’t just graze her hearing—they scraped at her nerves.

“Hah. Fine, let’s say I grant you that,” Byakhyang sighed, her gaze boring into him with an intensity that could burn through steel.

Her eyes blazed with such ferocity it seemed as if she might shoot lasers at any moment.
