Chapter 286

Finally, the message I had been waiting for had arrived . Secretive Plotter’s personal scenario .

+

[Sub Scenario (Secretive Plotter) – ???]

Category: Sub (Personal)

Difficulty: ???

Clear Conditions: ???

Time Limit: ―

Compensation: Can return to the original round with a legendary story (1), a skill (1) and an item (1) (The probability required will be born by the scenario proponent) .

Failure: Unable to return to the original turn, your incarnation body will be destroyed .

+

The moment I opened the scenario window, the thing that caught my eyes was the ‘compensation . ‘

[The bureau is currently suspicious of your probability . ]

I wasn’t a member of this ‘regression . ‘ Therefore, even if I got an item, skill or story in this turn, I wouldn’t be able to preserve it after returning to my original world . It was just like how the 41st round Shin Yoosung was weakened so badly that she could be hit .

However, if the reward was true . . . I could take the things obtained in this round because to my original world .

It was a tremendous reward . No matter how much the probability was constrained, the spoils of the 95th scenario would match the 95th scenario . The skills and stories available here had the power to transform the world in the 20th scenario .

「 Don’t be too ex hi la rated Kim Dok ja . 」

I barely calmed down at the Fourth Wall’s words . In fact, it wasn’t a situation where I could rejoice . The rewards for the scenario was high but the cost of failure was just as huge . If I failed, I couldn’t go back to my original round and would lose my incarnation body .

This wasn’t the turn I belonged to so the influence of my ‘stories’ weren’t big . In such a situation, I could end up killed by a probability storm if I lost my incarnation body . Moreover, this wasn’t the biggest problem .

[The clearance conditions for this scenario are being updated . ]

The most importance clearance condition hadn’t been updated . I didn’t know if it was an error from crossing dimensions or if Secretive Plotter was deliberately dragging out the time .

Frankly, it was possible either way . I thought as I watched Yoo Jonghyuk fighting in the distance . If I was Secretive Plotter, what clear conditions would I place on this scenario? Based on the movements of Secretive Plotter so far . . .

It was an ominous thought .

[The exclusive skill ‘Reading Comprehension’ is activated . ]

Secretive Plotter . I was expecting him to be Crawling Chaos but the true identity of the outer god was unknown .

He had been with me since my first channel opened but I had very little information about him . He wasn’t arrogant like the Great Sage the Equal of Heaven, full of justice like Uriel, wicked like the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon . . . he wasn’t even present in the original Ways of Survival . He was merely Secretive Plotter .

[You can’t read the target with the information you have . ]

[The exclusive skill ‘Reading Comprehension’ is cancelled . ]

[Curiosity about the unknown is leading to a new ability . ]

. . . I didn’t know . What was he trying to show me through this scenario? In addition, what did he want to gain?

There was never a case where the outer god had done this so I couldn’t easily guess . Only one thing was certain .

[Kuaaaack!]

This scenario was likely to be connected to the monster slaughtering the constellations over there .

[That’s it! Now! Everybody pincer attack him!]

[Die Yoo Jonghyuk!]

As I was briefly distracted by the scenario window, the battlefield was flowing in an unexpected form . Yoo Jonghyuk’s condition was strange . A little while ago, he had been killing the constellations and overwhelming the battlefield . . .

Now his movements were dulled . Yoo Jonghyuk’s body was stiffening under the pouring bombardment .

. . . What was this bastard? What happened?

I adjusted the setting of Character List to check his condition .

+

* Currently in an abnormal condition .

+

Abnormal condition? There was no way . Who was the 1863rd regression Yoo Jonghyuk? This was Yoo Jonghyuk who was the Ruler of the East Hell and killed the Devil of Principles . There was no one among the constellations who could place an abnormal condition on the present Yoo Jonghyuk .

Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes were blank .

I felt uncomfortable like something was stuck in my throat . No, there was . There was only one person who could cause an abnormal status in Yoo Jonghyuk .

+

* The target is suffering from ‘regression depression’ due to an unknown cause .

+

It was Yoo Jonghyuk himself .

Regression depression . The spirit of the man who had been broken over 1863 lives made the regression depression almost a passive, low level skill . Once he fell into the depression, his consciousness was caught in the weight of his memories and he couldn’t wake up .

[Kill him! He isn’t invincible!]

The ruthless strikes caused Yoo Jonghyuk’s body to bleed little by little . It was strange . Originally, the regression depression shouldn’t occur in this situation . In the 1863rd round, Yoo Jonghyuk had learnt how to manage this disease .

Why was he in this current state . . .

「 The Fourth Wall is saying, “Ha ha ha . ” 」

” . . . Was it your doing?”

The Fourth Wall didn’t answer but it was the only guess I had . The previous collision with the Fourth Wall must’ve caused some disruption in Yoo Jonghyuk’s inner surface .

Damn, what should I do?

Blood flowed from Yoo Jonghyuk’s skin as he protected his face . The power of Impenetrable Skin was still applied but it was only a matter of time before Yoo Jonghyuk died .

「 I have to help . 」

「 Why should I help him? 」

The choices were fighting in my mind .

「 Yoo Jonghyuk is a monster now . If I help, he will surely kill me when he wakes up . 」

「 Think carefully . You don’t know the clear conditions of this scenario . 」

The clear conditions were still question marks .

「 If the condition to clear the scenario is Yoo Jonghyuk’s death, this is a golden opportunity . 」

However—

「 What if the clear condition is Yoo Jonghyuk’s survival . . . 」

If Yoo Jonghyuk died, I would lose everything .

“Damn . . . “

Should I help or not?

Yoo Jonghyuk’s knees were slowly sinking to the ground . The normally weak guys were excitedly tearing at Yoo Jonghyuk’s body .

[Hahahat! I will have the story of the Iron Blood Supreme King!]

Yoo Jonghyuk would regress even if he died here . Then he would start a new round .

Regression . . .

[ Then what about the other worlds? ]

. . . Fucking plotter .

[ What about all the worlds you didn’t save? ]

Once Yoo Jonghyuk died here, a world that wasn’t in the original novel would be born . Yoo Jonghyuk would repeat the hell yet again . An abandoned world that Secretive Plotter showed me would be created and Yoo Jonghyuk would once again crawl in the infinite despair .

. . . Shit, I didn’t know .

I activated Electrification and flew towards Yoo Jonghyuk .

[Hey! Leave me a share too!]

At my rough true voice, the demon kings and constellations attacking Yoo Jonghyuk looked up .

[Who are you?]

[ . . . Demonic energy? I’ve never seen you before . ]

[Do you come here to kill the Demon King Slayer?]

Demonic energy flowed from my body and I could see the enemy’s tenseness being released . It was as expected . I spoke as I pulled out my status . [That’s right . We will share the good things together . It isn’t possible?]

[You came late so you can’t have the good stories . ]

[Don’t worry . I’ll only help from the back . ]

[A good attitude . Now, everybody continue . . . !]

I turned and struck the constellation with all my strength . The constellation let out a scream as he flew in a straight line and hit a ruined building .

[K-Kuooh . . . what are you doing?]

I wanted to hit him to death but was lacking . The constellations were angry by my abrupt actions and stared at me .

[Are you siding with the Demon King Slayer?]

I didn’t reply and opened up the power of the giant story .

[The giant story ‘Demon World’s Spring’ has begun!]

The pulse of the story stirred deep in my heart . Sparks surrounded my body as the story energy flooded through my blood . Some of the constellations saw my ‘giant story’ and screamed with shock .

[The status of a demon king? From a guy I’ve never heard of?]

Of course, I wasn’t a demon king of this world . I once again concentrated the power of Electrification and blew away a constellation . The constellation was hit in the belly and took a few steps back . It wasn’t comparable to Yoo Jonghyuk but the effect wasn’t bad . I might be able to fight if it continued like this .

[An error has occurred in the operation of the story . ]

[The Star Stream can’t find the origin of the giant story owned by you . ]

[The power of the ‘giant story’ is sharply reduced . ]

. . . Shit . It was like this . The basis of my giant story, the 73rd Demon Realm wasn’t here . We made up the giant story together . Thus, it was natural that my story didn’t work properly .

I swung my sword at the approaching constellations and shouted at Yoo Jonghyuk . “Hey! Wake up you jerk!”

Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t answer . I tried to think of lines to wake up him but I couldn’t come up with anything . My status started to decline and Demon King Ose, who rose again on the battlefield, shouted .

[He is with the Demon King Slayer! Kill him!]

There were seven constellations, including Demon King Ose . I naturally couldn’t deal with them with my current power . I desperately evaded the attacks but the 95th scenario was the 95th scenario .

They might be ordinary constellations of the absolute evil system but the blows hurt . My flesh was frayed by the onslaught and the range of my movements became narrower .

Despite the urgency, I continued to think of ways to wake up Yoo Jonghyuk . Some things came to mind that would definitely wake up Yoo Jonghyuk .

The problem was what came next . If I woke him up using the methods I was thinking of, I was likely to die .

I bit my lips and slowly opened my mouth . There was no way . In any case, I expected it to happen like this . I briefly took a deep breath and opened my mouth . “How long will you keep your mouth shut?”

The expressions of the constellations changed at my words . Their eyes wondered what I was talking about .

I continued speaking . “It will be difficult for them if I die here . ” The next moment, the pockets of my chest shone brightly and a true voice was heard .

[What, you knew?]

Of course, I wouldn’t wake up Yoo Jonghyuk . I might die if I did something crazy like that .

“It would be strange if I didn’t know . I don’t have a flower arrangement hobby . “

Two flowers emerged from the inner pocket of my coat . It was a red cosmos and a white lily . I hadn’t noticed their existence in the beginning . I realized when I crossed worlds . They were really daring constellations .

[Che . There is no other way . ]

The moment they realized the identity of the true voice, the complexion of the constellations hostile to me darkened . The ‘lily’ laughed at them .

[Should we both come out? Or Jophiel, will you do it alone?]

[They are enemies of Eden . Immediately execute them . ]

[ . . . Do you want to do it together? How annoying . Okay, I understand . ]

The next moment, the petals of the cosmos and lily scattered in the wind . The petals moved towards the sky and a message flashed in front of me . I looked at the message for a moment before slowly nodding .

A huge presence started to descend behind me . Astonishment appeared on the faces of the constellations and I couldn’t help laughing .

I was curious . I had wondered what Jung Heewon felt like at the time . Now I knew very well .

Six wings stretched out from behind me . I overflowed with probability as the ‘status’ of Eden’s best archangels was discharged from my body .

[The constellation ‘Commander of the Red Cosmos’ has appeared in Seoul!]

[The constellation ‘Lily Pin of Aquarius’ has appeared in Seoul!]
