The Alliance did not calm down.
It couldn't.
A Super creature—
Killed.
Publicly.
Inside the shelter.
And the one who did it—
Was no longer hidden.
Han Chandu stood inside his home.
Calm.
Still.
Outside—
The noise had changed.
Less chaos.
More distance.
Because now—
Something had already been decided.
A voice spread outside.
"The decision has been made."
Silence followed.
No one questioned it.
Because they knew—
Where it came from.
Even without appearing—
His will remained.
The voice continued.
"Han Chandu…"
"…successor of the Falsified Sutra."
The words settled.
Heavy.
Inside—
His mother stood still.
Then—
She moved.
Toward a hidden cabinet.
Opened it.
Took something out.
A scroll.
Old.
Worn.
But intact.
She turned.
Walked toward him.
"…this was never meant to stay with me."
Her voice was calm.
She extended her hand.
"The Falsified Sutra."
Han Chandu took it.
The moment his fingers touched it—
Something shifted.
Not outside.
Inside.
A faint panel appeared.
[ Panel ]
Fitness:
Taijutsu → 49
Skills:
Jade Skin → 99 / 100
Dongxuan Sutra → 99 / 100
Falsified Sutra → 1 / 100
The panel flickered.
Stabilized.
No reaction.
Because now—
This was expected.
His mother watched him.
"…be careful."
Han Chandu nodded slightly.
"…mm."
Outside—
The crowd remained.
Silent.
Watching.
Han Chandu turned.
Walked toward the door.
Opened it.
The crowd parted instantly.
No one spoke.
Because now—
The difference was clear.
Not just strength.
Authority.
Han Chandu stepped out.
The scroll—
Now his.
The path—
Fully his.
