Revenge with the Power of the Final Boss-Chapter 131
Threats to the world are countless.
Among them, the greatest threat undoubtedly comes from beings known as Extraterrestrials.
These entities view the world, along with the countless souls inhabiting it, as nothing more than sustenance to consume.
For humanity and the living beings of the world, these Extraterrestrials are calamities, objects of terror, and embodiments of absolute evil.
But to the Extraterrestrials themselves, all of it is merely an act of feeding.
No matter how many humans perish in the process, to beings like The Fox That Devours Worlds or others of its kind, humans are no more significant than insects. The lives of those who fall are often beneath their notice.
However, one particular Extraterrestrial, known as The Fox That Devours Worlds, or Hee-ah, was different.
"All the SSS-class villains have been wiped out."
Hee-ah, who had ordered the villains to attack Kangin Academy and capture the world’s most precious treasures—the "beautiful maidens"—was now intrigued. The fact that her carefully chosen SSS-class villains had failed to accomplish even a single part of her mission piqued her interest.
While other Extraterrestrials consumed worlds purely for sustenance, Hee-ah had a sadistic hobby: she delighted in toying with the worlds she planned to destroy.
Unlike her peers who ignored humanity as trivial, Hee-ah was deeply curious about humans and found them fascinating. However, this fascination was anything but benign. In fact, it was the source of even greater suffering.
Hee-ah derived pleasure from watching the reactions of humans swept up in the calamities she orchestrated. The despair of creatures dying in torment was, to her, an amusing pastime.
But now, with most of her entertaining "toys" destroyed, Hee-ah felt a pang of regret.
“Oh dear, that world is putting up more resistance than I thought. I wonder… who could it be~? The one who’s been interfering with my fun?”
Hee-ah began to suspect that a protector of this world was stronger than she had anticipated.
Her plans had been thwarted repeatedly: first, her conspiracy involving So Kang-seok was foiled, and now, her controlled villains’ assault on Kangin Academy had failed entirely. It was becoming clear to her that someone with power rivaling an Extraterrestrial was working against her.
Still, up to this point, Hee-ah had treated everything as mere amusement.
With Terenity—the most dangerous of her kind—unexpectedly defeated, Hee-ah had believed there was nothing left for her to fear. Even the emergence of this unknown enemy only sparked her curiosity.
But for the first time, Hee-ah felt genuine disorientation.
"Huh?"
She noticed something strange about her vision. The omniscient sight that allowed her to observe countless worlds had vanished.
While the will of a world could sometimes mount resistance, causing minor delays, and beings of her caliber might be difficult to track, those exceptions aside, Hee-ah should have been able to see everything.
Yet now, without even descending into the world of her own volition, she found herself standing in an unfamiliar place. Her once-boundless vision was now constrained, reduced to the limited perspective of a mere mortal.
"Ah, I see."
Hee-ah quickly grasped her situation.
She was trapped inside the body of a mortal.
"I can barely use any of my power!"
She realized that her abilities had been drastically reduced to the point where, by her standards, they were laughable.
From the perspective of the mortals, she still possessed tremendous strength. But for Hee-ah, it was an abysmal state.
"Hahaha, this is troublesome."
What was even more troubling wasn’t just her diminished power. It was that this mortal body she now inhabited was connected to her true form.
"If this body dies, it will harm my true self as well."
Hee-ah’s will was entirely trapped within this mortal body, leaving her original form vulnerable and automatically sealed within the same vessel.
The cost of binding a being of her level must have been astronomical.
Still, it wasn’t hard for Hee-ah to deduce the conditions enabling this binding.
"This state is maintained entirely within a barrier."
She realized that the seal could only exist within the confines of a special barrier. Judging by its structure, only those meeting specific criteria could enter.
For instance, someone who shared the blood of the vessel she now inhabited.
"This girl is quite useful."
Hee-ah quickly accessed the information within the body she now occupied.
The red-haired, voluptuous young woman’s body was of high quality. While it didn’t quite compare to the five "treasures" Hee-ah had targeted, it was close enough to the next tier.
It was clear that this mortal, imbued with a high concentration of blessings, had been used as a vessel to seal her.
Moreover, Hee-ah could sense the soul of the body’s original owner. While the body now acted as a sealing vessel, the owner’s consciousness remained alive, sharing her vision from within.
Due to Hee-ah’s presence, the body’s appearance had even begun to change.
Fox ears with red fur sprouted atop her head, a tail emerged, and her facial features transformed to resemble Hee-ah’s mortal guise, rather than the original owner’s.
This transformation was inevitable. The body, unprepared to hold the soul of an Extraterrestrial, had undergone physical changes under the influence of Hee-ah’s essence.
“Oh~?”
As Hee-ah processed the situation, she detected two unfamiliar presences entering the barrier.
Looking up, she saw two men with blue hair step inside.
“Hahaha! So it was you! You’re the one who’s been interfering with my plans!”
Fixing her gaze on the man with crimson eyes, Hee-ah’s lips curled into a delighted smile.
At last, she had found the one who had been disrupting her games.
***
Baek Seo-jun finally stood face to face with his enemy, The Fox That Devours Worlds.
Though it inhabited Kim Yoo-jung’s body, any trace of her had been erased by the Extraterrestrial’s soul.
The red hair and curvaceous figure were the only remnants of Kim Yoo-jung. Beyond that, The Fox bore no resemblance to her.
The fox ears atop its head and the drastically altered face made it impossible to recognize the body as Kim Yoo-jung’s unless one knew the truth.
“Hey there, pesky interloper~ Who could you beee? Hahaha! I didn’t expect you to look so much like that idiot. Are you two brothers?”
The Fox That Devours Worlds giggled playfully, its tone teasing as it addressed Baek Seo-jun. It laughed like a mischievous girl as though to mock him.
Seo-jun ignored the entity’s taunts entirely and turned to his brother.

“Baek Seo-jin, this is your opponent. I’ve weakened it and will keep it suppressed, but your chances of victory are nonexistent. Be prepared.”
“I understand, hyung.”
Seo-jin gripped the sword Seo-jun had given him. It felt superior to the blade he usually wielded, and he acknowledged the quality of the weapon.
Though he was fully aware that he might die, Seo-jin steadied himself. Calmly, he pointed his sword at the Extraterrestrial.
"So that’s the Extraterrestrial that plans to destroy this world."
The Fox That Devours Worlds!
Even in its severely weakened state, the sheer presence it radiated was enough to make Seo-jin break into a cold sweat. For an SSS-class hunter like him to react this way, it was clear that an ordinary person would have been crushed entirely by its mere existence.
If the entity had descended at full strength, the devastation would have been unimaginable.
“Haaahp!”
Seo-jin struck first. He poured mana of all attributes into his blade and launched a surprise attack.
Unlike the battle with Ham Kang-min, this wasn’t an attempt at a decisive, fatal blow. Seo-jin’s goal was simply to inflict some damage on The Fox’s body.
“Hmm~”
Without even glancing at Seo-jin, the Extraterrestrial kept its gaze fixed on Seo-jun. Then, with a casual movement, it raised a hand and caught Seo-jin’s sword effortlessly.
“Guh!”
Reacting swiftly, Seo-jin released the sword and channeled his mana into his palm, delivering an explosive strike that mimicked a martial artist’s technique.
BOOOOOM!
The attack landed on The Fox That Devours Worlds, producing a thunderous explosion. Yet the entity didn’t even flinch. It showed no sign of pain or discomfort.
“How interesting~”
The Extraterrestrial glanced between Seo-jun and Seo-jin, amusement flickering in its eyes.
“You must be the older brother,” it said, addressing Seo-jun. “A monster who’s risen to our level. But the little brother? He’s nothing more than a pathetic bug.”
Seo-jin didn’t feel anger at the insult.
“You’re right. That’s exactly what I am.”
He accepted it with a quiet composure.
Seo-jin had long since abandoned his pride. He had come to terms with the fact that he was insignificant compared to his older brother.
