Chapter 331: 331

The noise of the battlefield died down for a moment at my cry . The struggle between Giant Soldier Heracles and Giant Soldier Pluto . Even the constellations in the channel seemed nervous at the summoning of the weapon .

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is wondering what your weapon is!]

[Many constellations are curious about ‘Steel Sword’!]

My empty hand still wasn’t filled .

. . . Why didn’t it come? I looked back and reflexively activated Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint . It was to grasp the situation of the battlefield . Then I heard the thoughts of characters with a high level of understanding .

「 Steel Sword? I seem to have heard that somewhere before . 」

「 A person who uses the sword . . . 」

. . . What?

「 Kim Dok ja is an i diot . 」

The Fourth Wall’s mocking words were heard in my head . I belatedly noticed . Lee Hyunsung’s nickname was still ‘Pure Steel . ‘

「 Steel Sword . . . nice name . It was called by Dokja-ssi . He must be a great person . 」

Lee Hyunsung was looking this way while fighting Jason . I shouted towards Lee Hyunsung, [Hyunsung-ssi! Come quickly!]

“Huh? You were talking about me?”

“Hurry, you idiot! I’ll cover this place!”

Han Sooyoung shouted and Lee Hyunsung gave up his showdown with Jason . The stigma Great Mountain Push was triggered and Jason flew backwards .

. . . No, use it earlier if he had that power .

I didn’t know how much stronger Lee Hyunsung had become in the last three years but he was more useful than expected .

“However, I’m not Steel Sword . . . “

[You will be called that from today . ]

“W-What should I do?”

I quickly grabbed and swung Lee Hyunsung .

“Kuaaaaaack!”

Ares regrouped and swung Heracles’ Bat . It was a tremendous blow that combined Giant Soldier Heracles’ story mixed with Ares’ story . It was a destructive force that could crush Nemea’s lion in one blow .

I swung Lee Hyunsung at Ares .

“Dokja-ssi! Dokja-ssi! It isn’t possible!”

[It’s fine! Trust yourself!]

Along with the sound of waves, particles of water turned into fog . In the fog, Lee Hyunsung slowly faced the bat .

[Look, you can do it . ]

“Uh, uhhh, uweeeoh . . . “

Steel was growing all over Lee Hyunsung’s body . It grew, grew and grew again . He soon became a sword .

Ares was noticeably baffled . If Yoo Jonghyuk was here, he definitely would’ve said:

「 “This is the reason why Lee Hyunsung got the nickname of Steel Sword . ” 」

Steel Sword . The reason he was called Steel Sword wasn’t because he could control a sword well .

[The character ‘Lee Hyunsung’ has used the stigma ‘Steel Transformation Lv . 10 . ‘]

Steel Transformation . It was the stigma of a constellation from a distant place in the universe .

As the stories piled up, it became harder than any metal and had the advantage of being capable of regenerating if broken . Lee Hyunsung was no different from a living ‘strongest sword . ‘

[The constellation ‘Master of Steel’ is frowning at your cruelty . ]

Perhaps it was because this was his first time being a sword but Lee Hyunsung was still in an insecure state . I deliberately spoke in order to inspire Lee Hyunsung’s morale . [Hyunsung-ssi, do you see the shield that Heracles’ is holding?]

“Ye . . . y-yes, what is that?”

[It is the original version of ‘Heracles Shield’ that I gave you before . ]

In the past, I had given the replica version of Heracles’ Shield to Lee Hyunsung . It was the shield that Lee Hyunsung kept cleaning .

[I’ll give it to you, Hyunsung-ssi . ]

” . . . Really?”

[Of course . ]

Lee Hyunsung completely adapted and integrated himself into the hand of the giant soldier . It was a perfect grip like a handshake .

I started running . A large amount of probability was consumed as I once again clashed with Ares in Heracles .

[The Star Stream is paying attention to you!]

[The bureau is doubting your probability!]

[Overusing this probability will endanger your body!]

Steel Sword and Heracles’ Bat firmly collided . Ares was surprised by the force and took one step back .

[ . . . Damn crazy!]

We struck, struck and struck each other again . Part of Heracles’ Bat flew away as debris and Lee Hyunsung’s Steel Transformation had cracks all over it .

We were desperate because it couldn’t be a long-lasting battle . Lee Hyunsung, Kim Namwoon, me as well .

[The giant story ‘Demon World’s Spring’ is continuing . ]

There wasn’t the Stage Transformation like when we fought Surya but this story was protecting us .

A stage where Lee Hyunsung and I were together . Kim Namwoon, who was once an enemy, was now part of the story .

「 The most despicable soul in the world, a man born from steel . 」

Finally, the blade of the Steel Sword cut at Heracles’ right shoulder .

Ares growled out, [Why are you trying so hard? Olympus has always been merciful to you!]

[Merciful? Is that why you placed the fate on me?]

[Just because of that small that?]

[ . . . It is small?]

[You survived it anyway! You should be thankful about successfully passing the trial!]

That wasn’t my only enmity .

[My colleague is dying because of you guys . ]

[Colleague?]

The sword and the club hit each other again as Ares seemed to remember something .

[The incarnation who used to the the singularity watcher . ]

[It isn’t an incarnation but ‘Yoo Sangah . ‘]

[We didn’t make the incarnation do that . She brought that misery onto herself . ] Ares laughed .

[The mortal tried to access Olympus’ database . It is natural to suffer . ]

I shouted through gritted teeth, [It is you who gave her that strength . You brought about such a situation . ]

[God is watching . Everything is a human choice . ]

[Do you think you can use ‘choice’ for a predetermined cause?]

Ares laughed . [This is the scenario . ]

Cold anger settled deep in my chest . Yes, this was a constellation . They had a desire for stimulating scenarios and enjoyed the fall of incarnations . They made ‘good and evil’ on purpose . A god waiting merrily for humans to break the taboo .

Sparks that I couldn’t afford started to appear around Pluto’s body . A brilliant magic power storm occurred around the junction of bat and steel .

Ares exclaimed, [This crazy bastard . . . !]

「 Kim Dokja was angry . 」

「 Apart from that anger, Kim Dokja’s sense of reasoning was still as cold as ever . 」

In fact, it was almost impossible to defeat Ares in a frontal showdown but now the story was different .

「 Kim Dokja thought . 」

This was the ‘sea’ where Ares couldn’t exert enough power . It was a sub scenario where he couldn’t release all his status . Crucially, Ares’ Heracles was an early model of the giant soldier .

Heracles’ Bat broken Pluto’s left arm and at the same time, the Steel Sword penetrated Heracles’ waist .

Ares hurriedly cried out, [If you do this, you really will turn all of Olympus into an enemy . . . !]

[Ask anyone to come . ]

However, they wouldn’t come . The 12 Gods were all cowards .

[Zeus, Poseidon or anyone else . ]

Heracles was pushed back by the White Pure Star Energy . Even to the end, Ares didn’t fully release his status . Not all narrative-grade constellations were like Surya .

It had been a while since the real Gigantomachia . The 12 Gods had forgotten their lives . The same was true for Ares, a fierce warrior .

He seemed more courageous than anyone else but he was actually more cautious about his life than anyone else . He flaunted his bravery in Gigantomachia but now he was a constellation who feared the aftermath of opening his status in the scenario .

Ares shouted angrily, [Aren’t you afraid of probability?]

[I’m not afraid . ]

Lee Hyunsung, Kim Namwoon, me as well . There was no such thing as fear . It was because we had been living through the aftermath the whole time . Rather, it took courage to be weak .

Along with the bubbling sea foam, I thrust the steel sword into Heracles’ cockpit .

[You have knocked down Giant Soldier Heracles!]

[You have acquired a new story!]

[The star relic ‘Heracles’ Bat (Damaged)’ has been acquired . ]

[The star relic ‘Heracles’ Shield (Damaged)’ has been acquired . ]

[The star relic ‘Heracles’ Spear (Damaged)’ has been acquired . ]

Then a tremendous explosion occurred .

“Kim Namwoon!”

I emerged from Pluto’s cockpit at the moment of the explosion . Pluto had exceeded the limits of probability and was breaking down .

[This dog . . . !] Kim Namwoon sounded happy .

After a while, Pluto’s body couldn’t withstand the probability storm and collapsed . It was the result of taking the probability on my behalf .

Fortunately, the power supply seemed safe . It was just that more fighting would be difficult .

In the haze of the smoke, I saw Ares who escaped from the cockpit like me . Ares was wounded all over his body and he was roaring furiously .

The game hadn’t ended yet . Heracles was a type of protective sphere . The moment Ares opened his status, I would have to deal with him head on . Still, it didn’t matter . In the first place, my purpose was to make him fall from Heracles .

“Yoo Sangah-ssi told me something about you . “

As Ares had mentioned, Yoo Sangah used Hermes’ system to investigate all types of future information . Among them were things about Olympus .

“I heard you were once hit by Heracles’ spear . ”

Yoo Sangah had told me that Ares fought Heracles and was stabbed in the thigh with his spear .

-If ‘fake’ can be ‘real’, can I make this story real? If the weapon could be obtained . . .

Ares’ eyes were shaken as he glared at me angrily .

“I was curious . Heracles is the creature you have created . Then is this myth real or fake?”

Ares rushed towards me as I kept speaking .

“How much power can a fake story exert in the Star Stream? Aren’t you curious?”

[The story fragment in Heracles’ Spear is responding to you!]

[The story ‘Natural Enemy in War’ has begun . ]

The story started talking .

「 With one penetration, the spear neutralized the god of war . 」

I held the spear with all my strength . It was such a heavy spear that I wondered if I could throw it by myself .

Ares was now in sight . I should throw it properly . If it fails, I would die here . At this moment, the weight of the spear lightened . Someone was also holding onto the spear from behind me .

It wasn’t Lee Hyunsung but there was no need to think . Only one incarnation in all of Ways of Survival could take on the weight of this spear lightly . In the first place, this incarnation was an ally .

“Kim Dokja, there is only one chance . “

It was an eternal ‘once . ‘ A ‘once’ made with the countless failures of the regressor .

“It has always been ‘once’ for me . “

Thus, this one chance couldn’t fail . We threw the spear at the same time .
