Kim Rok Soo, and "Foresight"
You know, something occurred to me recently...
We all know that on Earth 2, the "lie" Cale told about being able to see the future was half-true, in a way. He'd seen a version of the future, in a different world. While the kid with "Lie Detection" power could tell that this was a lie – as in, "Foresight" wasn't actually an Ability – it was still true to some extent.
But you know, I started thinking... while it might have been a "lie" from Cale... it was actually NOT a lie for Kim Rok Soo. ...The other one. The 20-year-old KRS from Earth 2.
Think about it. By arriving via Sealed God's test, Cale possessed that KRS's body – but that wasn't all he did. He actually shared memories with him. It might be an aspect of "Record", or it might have been a side effect of a god placing two versions of the same person in one body. Either way, that KRS actually inherited those memories for good. The full 15 years of the other timeline, and all the knowledge that comes with it.
Thus, KRS actually became a prophet.
It must be incredibly interesting from an outsider's perspective. The older KRS was someone who eventually developed at least 2 time-related powers: Record, which allows him to remember the past flawlessly... and Instant, which allows him to transcend the limits of time. That means, the other KRS would eventually have at least 3 time-related powers. (And it's completely possible that there could be more, as the author had been teasing us with the possibility since forever.)
Now, as far as the Koreans of Earth 2 know, KRS was some 20-year-old punk who suddenly developed a bunch of super powerful abilities on top of "Foresight".... and then suddenly "lost them", for some reason. Since it's a trend in TCF that people never actually question our protagonist, and make up a bunch of quite-crazy-yet-quite-accurate theories about him instead... I'm pretty sure they're going to assume that KRS "sacrificed" those powers for the sake of changing the future. As in, that KRS was able to access those abilities because he saw himself having them in the future. Which, again, is not quite true, but not completely a lie either.
By changing the "future" of Earth 2, Cale actually did make KRS sacrifice the potential of eventually transmigrating as Cale Henituse and getting those Ancient Powers in another dimension. ...Meaning, it wouldn't be completely false. It would put "yet another" time-related Ability on KRS's tab: the ability to use your own "future powers", at the cost of losing them forever by abusing the ability. ....Again, which is not exactly what happened, but it's not totally wrong either.
Basically: by the whole misadventure of "getting possessed by yourself from another dimension", KRS got more "time-related abilities" on his tab – both as an actual thing, since the "future" memories were real, and also in the perception of other people.
In other words... KRS is constantly involved in time shenanigans, no matter what dimension, lol
