Chapter 452

That light in her eyes, that killing intent .

They were exactly the same as that of the Archangel I knew, yet they were also different .

This was Uriel’s true appearance, the cold-blooded and cruel judge . She was the being that burned all the enemies caught by the [Flame of Retribution] for the sake of righteousness .

⸢This Uriel had reached her own ‘Conclusion’, and . . . . ⸥

[ is observing the entrance of the new ‘Outer God’ . ]

[ is deciphering whether to allow the target’s Probability or not!]

⸢And, she came this far to kill the ‘Secretive Plotter’ . ⸥

[OhOhOhOhOhOh]

[TwokingsTwokingsTwokingTwokingTwokings]

The entrance of another Outer God possessing a similar level of Status as the Secretive Plotter caused confusion to spread among the small Outer Gods .

[Constellation, ‘Goryeo’s First Sword’, is greatly stunned by the entrance of the new ‘Outer God’!]

[Constellation, ‘Bald General of Justice’, is watching this battlefield while forgetting to polish his head . ]

It seemed that Constellations were just as shocked as me .

… . . But, broadcasting from this place should’ve been impossible?

Maybe the barrier preventing the broadcast was undone after the forest went up in flames .

[ is paying attention to the ‘N’Gai’s Forest’ . ]

The [Flames of Retribution] moved in Uriel’s hands . The blade that melted the entirety of the forest flew in, but the Plotter lightly shifted his head out of the way . The weapon missed him by a hair’s breadth and instead, blew away half of the hall and set it on fire .

[GahAhAhAhAhAh]

Outer Gods, shocked by the merciless destruction, screamed out loudly .

The [Flames of Retribution] moved again, this time with enough Status to blow the entire hall away . Every hair on my dumpling body rose up . Even Surya back in the original novel’s 265th turn was not as powerful as this when he destroyed Earth .

Kwa-aaaaah!!

This time, a humongous meteor was descending from the tip of the [Flames of Retribution] . It contained enough power to blow away this forest and then, maybe even erase this entire dimension along the way, too .

I dragged out every ounce of power within my soul form . Unfortunately, there was no way I’d properly block such an attack without an Incarnation Body . Besides, to block an attack like that, you’d need . . . . .

[Great Fable, ‘Pilgrim of the Lonely Apocalypse’, has begun its storytelling!]

In the end, the ‘Secretive Plotter’ had to step forward . Pitch-black particles shot out as he swung the [Heaven Shaking Sword] vigorously . It was the power of a Great Fable . The dark Status spread out like a huge wall and defended against the meteor’s impact .

Kwaaaa-boooom!!

Violent gusts of wind whipped about near the base of the forest, and the uprooted trees were flung up into the air . Whirlwinds made out of flames were completely annihilating everything in the vicinity .

Witnessing a clash of this calibre was indeed an exceedingly rare opportunity . Even the battle between Hades and Poseidon back in ‘Gigantomachia’ wasn’t this hectic .

[Large Nebulas are paying close attention to the battle between these two beings . ]

Tsu-chuchuchu . . . . !

In the centre of where the two Statuses were colliding, sparks grew fiercer and heavier . The Plotter’s [Heaven Shaking Sword] was trembling; he was being pushed back . It was all due to his Status being reduced after fighting me and Yu Jung-Hyeok .

This was the power of Uriel who witnessed the ‘Conclusion’ .

At this rate, both the ‘Secretive Plotter’ and I would disappear from the along with the N’Gai’s Forest .

[Currently, your soul temporarily belongs to the ‘Secretive Plotter’ . ]

[Time remaining until your soul can return: 20 hours, 31 minutes, 20 seconds]

I still had over twenty hours remaining until my soul could return . Simply dragging things out wouldn’t help my situation at all . Because, it didn’t look as if the ‘Secretive Plotter’ would be able to hold out for too long .

[Exclusive skill, ‘The 4th Wall’, is activating!]

I needed to stay calm in moments like this . I decided to get a better understanding of this situation first .

“Look, man! Why is Uriel attacking you??”

First of all, which world-line did that ‘Uriel’ come from? And why was she attacking the ‘Secretive Plotter’?

[999th turn’s ‘Yu Jung-Hyeok’ is staring at the ‘Living Flame’ with a helpless expression . ]

For a moment, I felt the inside of my head blank out .

… . Could it be?

It was the regression turn that I liked the most . It was almost the perfect turn with just one blemish to its record – the regression turn that reached the Conclusion’s doorstep .

Uriel began speaking again . [[Oh, I ask you, the Outer God . I hope that you haven’t forgotten about the events of the 999th turn . ]]

[[… . I do remember . ]]

[[That’s good . ]]

The blade of the enraged Uriel contained the Fable she had compiled so far .

[Great Fable, ‘Flames of Eternity’, has begun its storytelling!]

Her Great Fable burned fiercely . A story that I had never seen before was unfolding itself .

⸢”Master, we’re almost there . We just have to go a little bit further, you know!”⸥

That was Yi Ji-Hye’s voice .

Words began telling their story .

⸢”Jung-Hyeok-ssi, just hold on for a little longer . We’re almost there!”⸥

999th turn’s Yu Jung-Hyeok, having lost his left arm, right leg, and both of his eyes, was there . This Yu Jung-Hyeok only lived for the sake of his companions .

His world was dyed in darkness, but one voice entered it like a ray of light .

⸢[Conquering King, you must stay with us . ]⸥

That’s right . Uriel was also accompanying them in the 999th turn .

She was Yu Jung-Hyeok’s comrade . For the sake of a man who risked his everything to fight, the Archangel willingly became his ally .

⸢[The Conclusion to this world is just around the corner . ]⸥

I recalled that the 999th turn was something of a miracle .

Even if their luck was good, to think that he managed to almost reach the Conclusion during only his 999th turn .

But the truth was, it wasn’t all due purely to ‘luck’ .

⸢Yu Jung-Hyeok of the 999th turn made a deal with an ‘Outer God’ . ⸥

The reason why I didn’t go for the [Absolute Throne], and tried not to do the ‘Other World Pledge’ if at all possible, was because I knew how the ‘999th turn’ had ended .

⸢An unknown godly being, whose name was just as mysterious . The ‘Other World Pledge’ made with that godly being eventually took Yu Jung-Hyeok’s life . ⸥

The original novel didn’t specify who that ‘Outer God’ was . But it was a creature that spent its own Probability to grant the 999th turn’s Yu Jung-Hyeok incredible power and lucky opportunities .

Chills ran down my neck .

– ‘Demon King of Salvation’ . I too made a mistake like you once before .

– Rather foolishly, I tried to change what had already happened in the past .

That ‘Outer God’ was none other than the ‘Secretive Plotter’ .

– Now, do you understand? This is the consequence of distorting the world-line .

He had entered the past world-line belonging to the original storyline and tried to distort the Probability . And the result of that was Uriel who witnessed the Conclusion of the 999th regression turn, showing up here .

[[I shall avenge my world-line in this place . ]]

She was here to avenge her comrades’ grudges against the ‘Outer God’ from then .

[[Just like how you stole away all that’s precious to me, I shall do the same to you . ]]

Her boundless and justified wrath filled her true voice . I felt all my strength abandoning me .

I could understand where Uriel was coming from . I too clearly remembered the moment that the 999th turn’s Yu Jung-Hyeok died .

– Author-nim . This can’t be the end, can it? But, isn’t Jung-Hyeok-ee just too pitiful to end up like this?

999th turn’s Yu Jung-Hyeok sacrificed his life to guide his comrades towards the Conclusion . But his cost was to never see the conclusion of the world himself .

It was all because of the damn ‘Other World Pledge’ . The Probability flooding in cut his life off before the end .

– Can’t he be revived somehow? Like, the Underworld, or through reincarnation . I mean, there are lots of different ways, right? Besides, just what was that ‘Outer God’ anyway . . . . . ?

I resented the author, and resented that ‘Outer God’ . And I despaired while looking at the dying Yu Jung-Hyeok with only a little bit left until the Conclusion .

The mental shock was so strong that I even ended up hesitating whether to read the next day’s chapter or not .

Now, I was curious .

Why did the ‘Secretive Plotter’ do something like that back in the 999th turn?

[[I wanted to change it . ]]

… . What?

[[I wanted to see a proper Conclusion . Even if that happened in a different world-line . ]]

The Plotter once told me this – that I had to be careful with the Probability, that I needed to create the right Conclusion . But even someone saying stuff like that had actually wished to change his past .

Just like how I wished to change this regression turn, he too had felt the same way once .

Regardless of whether the end result devoured the cause or not . . . .

Even if the ‘s Probability crumbled . . . .

… . He wanted to reach the proper Conclusion at least once . He wished to see himself reaching the Conclusion together with his comrades .

However, it didn’t work out that way .

[[I’m sure you find me quite pathetic . That I made the same sort of mistake as you . ]]

The Plotter’s Status was crumbling down . His body was getting even smaller . All Yu Jung-Hyeoks sleeping within him were now screaming . And as if to speak up for those screams . . . .

[[I wanted to find the one responsible for creating this tragedy,]] said the Plotter . [[The one who created this universe . The one that made me regress, and made me repeat the scenarios . My goal is to kill the one beyond the ‘Wall’ . ]]

That was his true goal .

Stopping the regressions, saving the Outer Gods, opening up the Final Wall . . . .

All of these were centred around his main goal .

He waved his hand and my soul left the [Murim dumpling] . I got tense . I couldn’t tell what he was thinking of .

I quickly spoke to him .

– The current you can’t stop that Uriel . However, if my companions and I help out . . . . .

The Plotter shifted his gaze over to me . [[Do you understand what you’re saying right now?]]

– I do .

I was improvising on the fly, but I did genuinely feel that way . Since I heard his true end goal, it was time for me make my reply .

– From the get-go, the world that peeps on and greedily devours someone else’s life is wrong .

The was wrong . Yu Jung-Hyeok’s regressions were wrong, and the stories the scenarios created were unfair .

– That’s why I won’t sit still . I’ll witness the Conclusion . You say I shouldn’t, but I’ll see it regardless . I’ll definitely jump over that Wall you failed to cross along with my companions, and as for the being beyond it . . . .

The Plotter was now waiting for me to finish my words .

– … . I’ll kill that guy . I’ll end your ‘Most Ancient Dream’ .

Uriel’s Status was growing even stronger .

The expansive hall began crumbling down . Like a world breaking apart, the N’Gai’s Forest was disappearing .

Outer Gods moved closer to the ‘Secretive Plotter’, perhaps sensing that the end was nigh . Meanwhile, he opened his mouth . [[You said that you survived because of my story . ]]

” . . . . “

[[In that case, time to pay your debt . ]]

Just before I could ask him for clarification, Yu Jung-Hyeok’s Fables flooded out from him .

[Great Fable, ‘Pilgrim of the Lonely Apocalypse’, is howling out!]

[Great Fable, ‘Hellscape of Eternity’, has begun its storytelling!]

The Plotter’s memories were now permeating into me – memories that I didn’t know .

The information he gained after going through the 1863rd turn was now flooding into me .

– You . . . . !

A portal was generated behind me, one created by the power of an ‘Outer God’ . It began to gradually suck me in .

– H-hey, hang on a minute! What are you trying to . . . !

[[I’m not trying to leave this world’s Conclusion in your hands . ]]

At that moment, he no longer looked like the ‘Secretive Plotter’ .

[[I shall regress . ]]

Right now, he was ‘Yu Jung-Hyeok’ .

[[I shall live through the 1864th turn, and then, the 1865th . I’ll survive that turn, witness the Conclusion and become the Outer God once more, and . . . . ]]

Eventually, the hall collapsed . Everything was melting away under the bright light . Uriel’s sword sliced through the thick history that totalled 1863rd regression turns, and flew towards the ‘Secretive Plotter’ .

[[To see the Conclusion of this world-line, I shall return . ]]

His body was defencelessly pierced through . And I had to watch that, unable to do anything . He was cut down by the [Flames of Retribution] and his Fable was scattering away .

[Constellation, ‘Secretive Plotter’, is activating Stigma, ‘Regression Lv . ??’!]

Even though he had become the ‘Outer God’, he was still a regressor .

The one thing he hadn’t done in a long time, regressing, would start again . He’d wake up in the 1864th turn’s subway once more, and go on to create yet another horrifying world-line .

⸢Kim Dok-Ja thought to himself . ‘I can’t let that be . ‘⸥

Before I could unleash the Fables permeating in my soul form, though, Uriel made her move first .

[[You shall not escape to the next turn . ]]

Her white hands grabbed the Plotter’s neck . Black light pouring out from her hand stopped the Fable’s disintegration . The light spread out gradually and encased his entire body . Soon, the light formed a shape of small sphere .

I recognised what that was .

That was the [Sealing Sphere] used back in the 1863rd turn to seal away the ‘Apocalypse Dragon’ .

Why didn’t I think of it before? Uriel was now an Outer God, too . So she should obviously be aware of the Plotter’s, or Yu Jung-Hyeok’s, ability by now . She should know that he’d continue regressing and would never truly die .

Her hand tightened further and further . The jet-black Sealing Sphere soon emitted pale light .

[[I shall seal you away for eternity . ]]

Fin .
