Chapter 543
Fwoosh-
Terra stared into the gentle blaze of the furnace that burned steadily 24/7, recalling the proposal Se-Hoon had made a few days ago.
Me... become a Perfect One...?
It was something she’d heard repeatedly ever since the framework of the Planetary Reinforcement Plan was completed, so it wasn’t exactly surprising. Still, her feelings about it were complicated.
Is that even possible?
To others, becoming a Perfect One would be an unfathomable concept. But to a fragment of the Seeker like her, it felt like something she once knew. The details were so faintly familiar, yet frustratingly out of reach whenever she tried to recall them.
In some ways, that gave her an advantage over others. But in others, that same half-formed understanding only made things worse.
“Ugh...”
Could she, someone who wasn’t truly the Seeker, really attain such a profound revelation? She’d been agonizing over it for days, yet no answer emerged.
The Administrator hasn’t brought it up again since then... so maybe he will let it slide? Like last time?
Sure, it was something she’d have to face eventually, but did it really have to be today? Hoping for a little more time to find a better answer, Terra silently wished that the Administrator wouldn’t show up—
“You’ve been waiting long, haven’t you?” Se-Hoon asked, walking out of the special rift that appeared before her.
