### Summary
The grand conspiracy underpinning the world's suffering has been exposed as a lie, originating not from political ambition but from a bitter fraternal conflict. The historic war against the Silent Night was revealed to be the result of a dispute between two brothers, one of whom is the malevolent entity "Yajoo," over an age-reversal technique. While one brother is considered a "lesser evil," both are deemed responsible for the endless massacres, with the later generations of the Silent Night now seen as the true victims of this ancient feud. A major battle is underway against Yajoo, who is currently possessing the body of a young man named Danyeop. However, the strategic situation is precarious, as a potential tactical error by Jin Mu-Won's strategist, Ha Jin-Wol, may have allowed the true masterminds, the "Nine Skies," to escape an ambush. This raises concern that the current fight will only succeed in defeating Yajoo's vessel, leaving the primary antagonists unscathed and forcing Jin Mu-Won to confront them alone in the future.
