Daesung and his crew, now known as Allied, launch their attack on Gangbuk, expecting a tough battle—only to find the gang already shattered into four warring factions. Eli and Jisoo swiftly take control of two factions, but before they can fully dominate, Jihan, the Copy Genius, arrives.
Jihan easily dismantles Jisoo, Eli, and Zack, proving he is on an entirely different level. Just as he is about to finish Zack, Daesung intervenes. However, even with his skill, Jihan's experience and technique completely overwhelm him.
Then, Jihan lands a crushing blow.
But Daesung stands up again—his aura shifting, his presence becoming monstrous. His Crazy Mode has activated, making him faster, stronger, and more aggressive. Yet even this isn’t enough. Jihan takes him down once more.
Then—Daesung rises again.
This time, his eyes are pitch black. His movements are fluid, effortless, and terrifyingly unpredictable. Eli recognizes it immediately. UI Mode. A state of absolute instinct, where ally and enemy are meaningless—only the strongest opponent matters.
As UI Daesung unleashes destruction, a terrifying realization dawns on them.
Only three people can stop him: Ryuji, Joo Seok, and Tatsuya.
Eli's heart sinks. Ryuji and Joo Seok won’t be here. Tatsuya is their only hope.
But Jihan scoffs, stepping forward.
?? Jihan: “You forgot someone. It’s not three—it’s four.”
Jihan’s sharp eyes are locked onto Daesung. He has fought countless warriors, copied their every move, and perfected their techniques. He believes no one can surpass him in skill.
But the presence before him… feels different.
UI Daesung stands motionless, his black eyes void of emotion, his aura crushing the air around them. His breathing is eerily calm—like an apex predator waiting for the moment to strike.
Jihan clenches his fists. “I’ve seen all styles, mastered them all. No one can surpass me in skill.”
UI Daesung does not respond.
Jihan moves first. A flurry of attacks—Muay Thai knees, Taekwondo kicks, Aikido counters. His movements are flawless, executed at inhuman speed.
UI Daesung dodges everything. Effortlessly.
Jihan grits his teeth. “Tch… You’re fast, but you can’t dodge forever.”
He switches styles instantly—Judo grapples, brutal boxing barrages. Every hit is aimed at Daesung’s vitals.
UI Daesung doesn’t move. He doesn’t even blink.
Then—he counters.
A single, precise strike to Jihan’s ribs. The impact sends Jihan skidding back, gasping for breath. Pain explodes through his body.
Jihan’s mind races. What the hell was that?
Daesung walks forward, his posture loose, movements unreadable. It’s not a technique Jihan recognizes—it’s beyond his understanding.

Jihan steadies himself. “Fine. If you won’t go all out, I’ll make you.”
He copies Daesung’s own stance. A perfect replica of UI Mode.
And for the first time—UI Daesung reacts.
He steps forward. No wasted movement. No hesitation.
The world blurs.
Before Jihan can even process it—he's launched into the air.
A crushing elbow strike to his back.
A follow-up kick to his ribs. CRACK.
Jihan crashes into the ground, coughing blood. He forces himself up, arms trembling. “I... I copied your style. Why can’t I keep up?”
UI Daesung moves again. Faster.
Jihan barely reacts before he’s struck by a devastating knee to the gut, followed by a bone-shattering punch to the jaw.
The ground cracks beneath him.
His vision is fading. Daesung just stands over him. Watching.
Jihan forces himself up again. “Not yet... I won’t lose to a mindless beast—”
But UI Daesung is already in front of him.
A single chop to the neck.
Jihan’s body shuts down instantly.
He collapses. Defeated.
Daesung stands over him, silent. He doesn’t need to speak.
Jihan understands.
This wasn’t a fight. This was domination.
Eli watches in horror. "It’s over… this is our last day."
A voice echoes from behind. "Losing hope already? That’s not like you."
Eli's eyes widen. That voice—
He turns. A grin spreads across his face. "It’s Ryuji… I was wrong. It’s not our last day."
Ryuji steps forward, standing face to face with the UI Monster.
Jihan groans, barely conscious. "What… are you doing here?"
Ryuji smirks.
?? "Tatsuya was supposed to stop Daesung when he went UI. But he sent me instead. Wrong move… but eh, I only need one minute to finish this."
The battlefield is silent. The wind howls through the empty streets as Ryuji cracks his neck, stretching like he’s about to warm up.
Across from him, UI Daesung stands still, his black eyes glowing with a terrifying aura.
Ryuji grins.
?? "Damn. You look scary as hell. If this were an anime, you’d be the final boss."
UI Daesung vanishes—no, he moves so fast it looks like teleportation.
A kick flies toward Ryuji’s face.
He barely dodges, the wind from the attack brushing past his nose.
?? "Okay, I take it back. You’re definitely the final boss!"
UI Daesung doesn’t stop. He unleashes a rapid combination of attacks—punches, kicks, elbows, knees—each executed with inhuman precision.
Ryuji blocks some, dodges others—but a powerful spinning kick crashes into his ribs.
CRACK!
Ryuji skids backward, coughing.
?? "Oof. There goes my dinner."
UI Daesung rushes in again, using Ryuji’s own techniques.
?? "Oh, come on. Stealing my moves? That’s just rude!"
Before Ryuji can react—Daesung grabs him and slams him into the ground.
BOOM!
Pain shoots through Ryuji’s back. He groans, pushing himself up, still smirking.
?? "You’re missing something important."
UI Daesung tilts his head, black eyes emotionless.
Ryuji wipes blood from his mouth.
?? "You got strength. Speed. Technique. But you got no soul."
UI Daesung lunges forward—
But Ryuji steps in.
His fist crashes into Daesung’s jaw.
BAM!
For the first time—UI Daesung staggers.
?? "Oh? You felt that one, huh?"
But the monster’s aura explodes. The fight continues—a brutal, bloody exchange.
Finally—UI Daesung lands a full-power punch.
CRACK!
Ryuji gasps. His body bends forward. He collapses.
Then—he laughs.
?? "Hah… Damn… I should’ve stayed home."
He forces himself up, swaying. Blood drips from his face.
?? "Alright… alright… I admit… You’re tough. But—"
One last punch.
UI Daesung falls.
Daesung wakes up, his eyes back to normal.
?? "So… I lost control again."
Eli sighs in relief. "You’re back."
Daesung nods. "From now on, Gangbuk is mine."
He looks at Ryuji. "Eli, take him somewhere safe."
Allied’s hierarchy is set.
