Chapter 441: 441

[Exclusive skill, ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’ 3rd stage, is currently active!]

My consciousness grew dim . The first thing I heard within this pitch-black darkness was the paragraphs coming to me from beyond [The 4th Wall] .

⸢In that moment, Yi Ji-Hye looked at the battlefield . ⸥

Yi Ji-Hye’s battlefield was there, alongside dozens of ships seemingly blanketing the whole of Tongtian River .

Incarnations of prepared to fire the cannons, while Historical Figure-grade Constellations were in charge of the command .

⸢”Open fire!”⸥

‘s battleships surrounding the [Turtle Dragon] commenced firing simultaneously .

Yi Ji-Hye advanced forward while brushing past the wreckages of other destroyed vessels . Some attacks she let them land her ship, while some others, she dodged .

⸢”Load the cannons . “⸥

It was like watching an orchestra . Her ability to command the fleet, that had surely reached the realm of a naval god, allowed her to move the [Turtle Dragon] and the Ghost Fleet as she saw fit .

⸢”Fire . “⸥

Naval Admiral Yi Ji-Hye’s fleet opened fire . The Ghost Fleet had rearranged their formation according to her command and they soon repeated the accurate hit-and-run tactic, and the enemy fleet tasted destruction in the blink of an eye .

⸢”How can something this unbelievable be . . . . ?!”⸥

Her ability to overcome the difference of overwhelming numbers – this was the moment that the true worth of the ‘Naval Admiral’, one of the strongest Incarnations in the ‘Ways of Survival’, announced itself to the world .

⸢[Constellation, ‘Maritime War God’, is proud of his Incarnation . ]⸥

Yi Ji-Hye actually surpassed her Sponsor in the latter half of the original story . Maybe, I might get to see that spectacle unfold during this regression turn .

⸢”We’re changing our tactic!”⸥

Perhaps they realised that things weren’t going so well, as ‘s fleet suddenly began charging at her . An armoured battleship was taking the lead . It seemed that they had chosen to engage her in a close-quarter melee since they lost out in the long-range firefight . Unfortunately for them, though, there was something that they didn’t know .

⸢” . . . . Argh, I created this technique so that I could give Dok-Ja ahjussi a good one later on, but this . . . . “⸥

The thing was, the Naval Admiral Yi Ji-Hye was also very handy in close-quarter battles, too .

Seeing her crouched posture getting ready to draw her sword, I could just about guess what she was thinking of doing here .

⸢Instant Kill (瞬殺) . ⸥

I could see that she had mastered one of the best anti-personnel combat skills in ‘Ways of Survival’ .

Kwa-aaaahh!

As the loud explosions burst out from the side of the ship, Yi Ji-Hye began her close-quarter combat . She cut, sliced, and then, cut some more . A sword demon’s blade cut through the waves of water and reaped the head of the enemy commander .

And how much longer did she continue to cut after that? In the middle of the Tongtian’s battlefield, now dyed crimson by the spreading Fables, Yi Ji-Hye lay on her back utterly fatigued, having dealt with all of her enemies .

She stared at the darkening sky and asked softly as if she was talking to me .

⸢ . . . . . Ahjussi . You’re okay, right?⸥

I wanted to tell her that I was fine, but my lips didn’t want to part .

[Your current level of proficiency for ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’ is very high . ]

[It’s now possible to split the POV . ]

[Character Jeong Hui-Won’s viewpoint has been added to the ‘3rd Person POV’ . ]

The second person I saw was Jeong Hui-Won .

⸢”Get! Out! Of! My! Way!!”⸥

She was in the midst of chasing Fei Hu down . Yi Hyeon-Seong’s blade, as she held him tightly, was busy shooting out the licks of flames belonging to [Hellfire] . Everywhere she passed by, ashes danced in the air .

I could more or less figure out what happened here . To think that ‘Fei Hu’ gave up on the fight first . . . . Maybe the strongest Incarnation in Korea was Jeong Hui-Won, after all .

[Character Jang Ha-Yeong’s viewpoint has been added to the ‘3rd Person POV’ . ]

Jang Ha-Yeong, still wearing the fake beard, was running on the river, Han Myeong-Oh stuck under her arm . The end of her gaze was fixed on Yi Gil-Yeong, currently engaged in a bitter battle against the Lords of the Nine Stars .

⸢”Hey, kid! Step aside!”⸥

The Lords of the Nine Stars were a part of ‘s elite forces . Jang Ha-Yeong got ready to unleash the power of [Breaking the Sky Force Punch] at them .

However, Yi Gil-Yeong shook his head and shouted back .

⸢”Please don’t interfere, Ha-Yeong-ee hyung . I’m more than enough for this!”⸥

He looked at the distant centre of the battlefield and gritted his teeth .

⸢” . . . . . I can’t lose to Shin Yu-Seung . “⸥

Yi Gil-Yeong’s voice, darkness seemingly overflowing from it, was tinged with an ominous undertone . And in the following moment, a yellow-coloured storm exploded out from the boy’s entire body .

No, hang on a sec . Could that be . . . . . ??

Before I could come to any sort of conclusion, the scene changed .

[Character Yu Jung-Hyeok’s viewpoint has been added to the ‘3rd Person POV’ . ]

Next up was Yu Jung-Hyeok, currently facing off against the 28 Mansions Constellations by himself .

⸢”No matter how strong he is, in the end, he’s still an Incarnation from a weak little Nebula!”⸥

⸢”You think a lone bastard like yourself can deal with actual stars?”⸥

Even though they were acting tough, Yu Jung-Hyeok’s hand was currently holding a couple of severed heads belonging to dead stars . His coat had turned into a tattered rag from the concerted attacks of the 28 Mansions, and there was a noticeable wound on his arm, but beside that, he was completely fine .

⸢If you’re talking about ‘Constellations’, then I’ve cut down plenty of your kind already . “⸥

Blood trickled down his forehead . His hair stained by the Constellations’ Fables danced about, and like some kind of an evil monster, Yu Jung-Hyeok raised his head up .

⸢”And that is why all of you will fall today . “⸥

And the screen changed for the final time .

⸢”Ahjussi . “⸥

It was my own Incarnation .

⸢”Please, please listen to my voice!”⸥

Her figure trembled as if she was sobbing .

Next up, I saw my hand, held tightly in hers . That limp, powerless hand couldn’t even hold hers at all . Her words cut off intermittently, and the things I need to say to her and the things I need to hear from her all disappeared in between the flitting words .

[Fable, ‘Saviour of a Star’, is continuing on with its storytelling . ]

I . . . wanted to move . I wanted to wipe her tears away . I wanted to kneel down and hug her, before telling her that, her wishes were . . .

… . Also mine, too .

Tsu-chuchuchuchut .

Memories were crumbling away .

Letters floated around the surroundings . I sensed myself scatter away inside this darkness . I heard a voice calling out to me from beyond the empty abyss .

I saw something resembling a violently-whipping [Great Hole] in the distance . Slowly, very slowly, my soul was being sucked in there .

[Ti me to ke ep yo ur pr omi se]

I was scared .

If I were to forget all of these . . . . . These emotions, where would they go to, then? And from where and to how far would [The 4th Wall] remember my story?

[Ba-aht, baaaht!]

Biyu suddenly appeared and grabbed hold of my soul being sucked out . She did everything in her power to pull back at that clump of soul .

[Ba-aaaht!]

I could only look on at her confused, flustered struggling .

I, too, didn’t want to go there .

[Co me to th e si de of th e Gr ea t Pl ot ter]

That was, if only I could .

[Are you really planning to go there?]

Along with the noise of “Tsuchuchuchu!” the flow of the surrounding atmosphere changed . The letters stopped scattering away, and the suction force pulling at my soul disappeared .

Someone was using his own Status to forcibly suppress my extinguishment .

[This Master Sun is asking you . ]

I looked back, and discovered a rather familiar Constellation standing there . His platinum-blonde hair gently danced in the air, and his headband was emitting a soft glow .

” . . . . Great Sage . “

Indeed, it was the Great Sage Heaven’s Equal, a mischievous smile etched on his lips . However, he wasn’t alone this time .

⸢The re are too ma ny Sun Wu kongs here⸥

[Oh, so that’s the ‘Fragment of the Final Wall’ that I heard about? What a noisy bastard . ]

[Hmm . . . . What an interesting visualised world this is . ]

One was a handsome monkey kitted out in a cowboy get-up, while the other monkey had this languid expression on his face, his hand stuck under the tiger-striped thong and busy scratching away at something . . . .

I immediately recognised who they were .

” . . . . Are you Bimawen and Meihouwang?”

Before any reply could come to me, voices resounded out from the air above .

[Ki ng of mo nk ey s]

[Ar e yo u pl an ni ng to in te rf er e wi th us]

[Urgh, shut up . We’re busy talking here . ]

Meihouwang got irritated and unleashed his power, causing the ripples from the ‘Outer Gods’ to instantly disappear . That was truly a gob-smacking Status .

[Demon King of Salvation, we came here to ask you about something . ]

The one who said that was not the Great Sage, Meihouwang, nor was it Bimawen .

Someone I had never seen before was there . He had an exotic countenance, a face oozing with this mysterious aura preventing anyone from identifying his gender . Short, neatly-trimmed black hair, and an elegant Buddhist robe on his frame .

And judging by the fact that he was also carrying a Ruyi Jingu Bang, he too was definitely Sun Wukong . The odd thing was, though, I couldn’t see the usual constrictive headband on his head .

⸢To Kim Dok-Ja’s knowledge, there was only one ‘Sun Wukong’ like that in the world . ⸥

“Douzhanshengfo (Victorious Fighting Buddha) . “

Tsu-chuchuchuchut!

Thin sparks exploded in the air as if to react to what I said .

Douzhanshengfo asked me with an expressionless face . [I’ve been watching your story from the beginning . ]

” . . . . My apologies for that . “

[It was a Fable with a meaning . Even out of all those numerous times when the ‘Journey to the West’ repeated itself, there never had been a Fable that focused itself on the pain of the dying Yogoes . ]

Meihouwang, listening to him talk on the side muttered, “Here comes the sermon-loving idiot” . Completely disregarding him, Douzhangshengfo continued on .

[However, their pain is their preordained destiny . Not everyone can become protagonists, after all . ]

“Why do you think so?”

[You speak as if all Yogoes are victims, but not all of them are wrongly thrust into their positions . Some among them had never worked hard once in their lives, while some carry evil intentions and choose to hurt others . Therefore, it is quite obvious that they will never become the main characters . ]

“You’re correct . However, just like what you’ve implied, some of them are not guilty of anything . No, make that quite a lot of them . “

[And that is why countless Fables exist in this world . Great Fables aren’t the only good Fables . Those who are nothing more than small, insignificant beings inside a Great Fable can still become the main character of a different Fable . ]

He was right .

Indeed, as right as it can be . However . . . .

” . . . . That is only applicable when they are allowed to participate in Fables . “

There were some creatures in this world that were excluded from entering even those Fables . Beings that were simply spent as expendables in various Fables while not even receiving a single percent of shares .

[AhAhAhAhAhAh]

[ComeComeComeComeComeCome]

“Fables should be permitted to even those who have failed . “

The ones that had forgotten about themselves weren’t even allowed to enjoy the opportunities of the scenarios . The gagged them, and made sure that their words would become incomprehensible to others .

[… . Is that what you truly believe?]

Douzhanshengfo asked, his unreadable eyes still locked on me . No, more correctly, he was looking at the power of Chaos rising out from my body .

[And you wish to sacrifice your whole being and become an ‘Outer God’?]

” . . . . That’s correct . “

The Great Sage was yawning with a bored face during my answer and once he was done, spoke his opinion . [Are you done with your confirmation? I told you, didn’t I? This guy’s really like that . ]

[… . Indeed . ]

[Seriously, man . Convincing the dear ol’ Buddha-nim is the hardest thing ever . ]

I had no clue what these guys were talking about .

Four Sun Wukongs glanced at me while yapping among themselves .

[Okay, so . Who’s going to do it, then?]

[I shall do it . I had lost most of my memories after I was granted the Buddhahood, after all . ]

[… . Well, I guess you being a fakey monk can be helpful in situations like this one . ]

Right in the next moment, bright light rose up all around me, causing my scattering memories to come back . And as the Probability’s sparks exploded, my body glowed brightly too, as if I was being electrocuted .

[Someone is dealing with the penalty of ‘Outer God Transformation’ in your stead . ]

… . Wha?

[Demon King of Salvation, you’re wrong about one thing . ] said Douzhanshengfo, as he unleashed the power of Chaos . [Becoming a ‘Yogoe’ will not help you in understanding them . You simply do not have the qualifications to represent them . ]

He was right once more .

I couldn’t possibly have known anything about the ‘Outer Gods’ suffering pain and agony as the Yogoes from the ‘Journey to the West’ . Because, I was just another actor playing Sun Wukong .

Meihouwang sniggered and remarked sarcastically . [You should know your place . ]

Bimawen quickly added something else . [Your ‘main topic’ is not in this place . ]

The last person to speak up was the Great Sage . [Leave the matters of Yogoes to other Yogoes . And you, you should live your own Fable . ]

Only then did I finally figure out what was going on here .

[Great Fable, ‘Journey to the West’, has begun its storytelling for you . ]

But, why? Why were they doing this for me?

The Great Sage smirked and replied . [Because we like your Fable . That’s all . ]

I thought I could hear the loud roars of the upper-rank Outer Gods coming from afar . At the same time, I sensed the power of the Outer Gods strengthening gradually .

[HeisHeisHeisHeisHeis]

[OursOursOursOursOurs]

[My bad, but we can’t give him to you . ]

[NoNoNoNoNoNo]

[KingiscomingKingiscomingKingiscomingKingiscoming]

The [Great Hole] continued to churn angrily within the darkness .

Something was trying to descend to this world .

It was the king of all these ‘Outer Gods’ .

[Constellation, ‘Secretive Plotter’, is glaring at the ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ . ]

That message brought out a bright smile on the Great Sage’s face .

[Right, I wanted to have a go at you sometime, didn’t I?]

Four Sun Wukongs stood all around me .

[So, who’ll be the main this time?]

[Of course, it’ll be me, the Great Sage . ]

[And thus the dumbass Sun Wukong is born . ]

[Hey, you . Don’t flip your finger like that . You think this is a fusion fantasy?]

In the following moment, Sun Wukongs around me grasped each other’s hands .

[Oh, ! We will be accepting the ‘Demon King of Salvation’ as our fifth self!]

Fin .
