Chapter 9
Hitler
"My most important person… the one who controlled every other person on my behalf…"
He paused for a moment.
"He possessed the person who caused the greatest destruction in history… someone capable of shaking the entire world…"
"…Adolf Hitler."
"And with the system… he actually did it."
Siddharth remained silent.
"When I asked him what he was doing…"
"The one I trusted the most… revolted against me."
"He joined hands with other systems."
"He used the system against me… creating anonymous commands… bypassing everything."
"We fought."
"A brutal fight."
"He blocked my system from controlling the others… and freed his own."
"I understood at that moment… I had lost control over him."
"But I still tried… to bring him back."
"To the right path."
His voice became heavier.
"But it was useless…"
"I defeated him in the end…"
"But suddenly…"
"The system started behaving differently."
"He had added extra settings… something beyond my understanding."
"I tried to save him…"
"But everything went in vain."
"And I ended up here…"
He looked down.
"I thought… he might have ended up somewhere like me…"
"But I was wrong."
"He was free."
"…001 was free."
"And if that's true…"
"He might try to revive all the systems…"
"…and bring destruction once again."
A pause.
"And that's how I ended up here…"
"With guilt."
"With regret."
"And sometimes… I still think…"
"…all of it was my fault."
"This is my story."

Being suddenly laughed.
"Interesting… isn't it?"
Siddharth looked at him with a serious expression.
"That must have been a hard time for you."
Then he asked—
"Tell me… what can I do to defeat this system?"
Being leaned back slightly.
"You'll know."
"But first…"
"I need to test you."
Siddharth frowned.
"Test…? Worthy?"
Being created a throne and sat on it casually.
"Yes… I need to see your capabilities."
Siddharth asked—
"And how do I prove that?"
Being smiled.
"Defeat 009."
---
"And then… you already know what happened after that."
Kriti slowly nodded.
"Oh…"
"So… does that mean our history is wrong?"
Siddharth replied calmly—
"Maybe… but not completely."
---
Later…
Siddharth cooked a delicious meal for her.
He placed the food in front of Kriti.
She looked at him and said—
"If he's coming back in six hours… we need to prepare."
Siddharth shook his head slightly.
"First… you need to rest."
Kriti quietly finished her food.
Then Siddharth stood up.
"I'm going to meet him."
"For your safety… you're not coming."
Kriti immediately resisted—
But Siddharth didn't listen.
He locked her inside the room, leaving food and some games for her.
Then…
He left.
Toward the subway bridge.
---
Meanwhile…
After escaping from Siddharth—
009 reached his master.
He bowed his head.
His master was sitting on a throne.
Beside him—
The heads of Raghav and Siddharth's teacher were placed like decorations.
009 spoke nervously—
"How was he able to take control…?"
"How did he know about the overwrite command?"
The mysterious man smiled.
Creepy.
"Oh… so I'll have to meet him myself…"
Then he said—
"Go."
"Defeat Siddharth."
"And if you lose…"
"I'll kill you myself."
He threw a pill toward 009.
"Take this."
"It will help you."
009 swallowed it.
In an instant—
Power surged through his body.
Overflowing.
He waited for two hours… letting his body fully heal.
And exactly after six hours—
He reached the subway bridge.
Where Siddharth was already waiting.
---
On the other side—
Kriti tried to break the window of the room.
Trying desperately to escape.
