Chapter 502

Odin from the east, Nuwa from the west, and Osiris from the south . . .

We were somehow maintaining a precarious balance within this cauldron of Great Fables ceaselessly pounding on us .

[Your Incarnation Body is breaking down!]

I forgot how many times I’ve heard that message by now . Yu Jung-Hyeok’s body right next to me wasn’t okay, either; he was left in tatters after taking on the combined attacks from both Odin and Nuwa meant for Han Su-Yeong and me .

Our gazes met for a moment there, but he scowled at me as if to ask, “What are you looking at?” before pulling something out from his inner pocket to swallow it .

[Incarnation, ‘Yu Jung-Hyeok’, is using ‘Life and Death Pill’!]

In the end, he had consumed the very last Life and Death Pill Yi Seol-Hwa gave us . We didn’t have any left now .

[Guwaaaaah! Endure!!]

The Korean Peninsula’s Constellations roared out like untamed beasts and wielded their weapons .

Kim Yu-Shin did, so did Gyebaek, too . Gwanchang, as well . Constellations that crossed swords once upon a time were now turning over a new leaf together in a single Fable under the shade of the [Shindansu] .

Cheok Jun-Gyeong could be seen standing at the forefront cutting enemies down .

⸢[This is why I can’t abandon this land even though I curse it so much . Only a few dying will resolve the issue, yet everyone’s jumping in to die together . . . . ⸥

Even Pungbaek stayed by his side to raise winds and roared out like a lion . The one who was at odds with us back in the Great War of Saints and Demons, was now standing up for our sakes .

⸢[I can aid the descendants of . I don’t need any compensation . ⸥

Pungbaek’s winds writhed violently, and the ’s Constellations rode on that wind to rush forward . Yi Sun-Shin’s [Ghost Fleet] kept firing their cannons, while Gyeonhwon’s arrows pierced through the hearts of many stars .

However, the number of enemies didn’t seem to be decreasing at all .

[Where is this Korean Peninsula even located in?]

[These measly Historical Figure-grade bastards dare to . . . . ! You insects! Sweep them all away!]

Even then, the Korean Peninsula’s Constellations were enduring well .

[Great Fable, ‘Shindansu’, is raising the strengths of all Constellations from the Korean Peninsula!]

If the enemies had Odin and Osiris, then we too had a Myth-grade Constellation – the Myth-grade that could greatly enhance [Shindansu]’s power, Constellation ‘Virtuous Wanggeom’ .

[Constellation, ‘Virtuous Wanggeom’, says that this is all the aid he can provide . ]

Unlike other Myth-grade Constellations, his sense of presence seemed quite faint . It was probably due to the effects of this world-line; didn’t have a whole lot to do during this world-line, after all .

And it was quite likely that ’s Constellations couldn’t get out from the ark’s cabin due to the pressure exerted by other Myth-grade Constellations .

[Do not show them your backs! We shall never retreat!]

[Fable, ‘Burning the Boats’, has begun its storytelling!]

Cheok Jun-Gyeong raised his sword, and Yi Sun-Shin continued to command the others . These heroes from the mythical history who had never yielded to any myth, continued their battle against the actual gods from various myths .

Even though their flesh was torn apart and their entire bodies were wrecked, they never knelt down and continued to wield their blades .

⸢The Korean Peninsula’s surface area was getting smaller and smaller . ⸥

Jeon Woo-Chi who had morphed into a tiger to fight, finally collapsed . Seo Ae One Stroke of Brush’s personal brush broke, and Yi Sun-Shin’s Ghost Fleet sank one by one . Even Cheok Jun-Gyeong’s sword, capable of cutting down thousands of enemies, mountains and seas, was getting dull, as well .

I already expected this . I was supposed to harden my resolve several times over by now . The Fable to be written from now on would consist of texts stained by the blood of these stars .

[’s final Great Fable is sprouting new buds!]

Right next second, Thor’s hammer came flying in at Cheok Jun-Gyeong’s neck . It was an attack that not even the Korean Peninsula’s greatest warrior could dodge .

[Constellation, ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’, is unleashing all of her Status!]

And it was Uriel that blocked the incoming attack .

“Kim Dok-Ja! Archangels have arrived!”

Han Su-Yeong shouted out .

More Archangels descended on the battlefield, accompanied by blinding rays of light . And in the centre of them was Uriel wielding the [Flames of Conflagration] .

⸢[ . . . . It’s like, me and Gabriel want to join ‘Kim Dok-Ja Company’ too, you see?]⸥

Uriel said that to us just before we left for the Final Scenario . She wanted to join our Nebula, and wanted to become our strength, she said .

⸢The Constellation who has changed the most from the ‘original’ Kim Dok-Ja knew . ⸥

I never figured out why Uriel liked our story so much .

⸢”Do you really wish to go that far just to help us?”⸥

All I could do now was to cowardly take advantage of her goodwill .

[A new ‘Great Good’ has appeared in !]

Uriel’s Status whipped about stylishly .

She was now no longer the ‘Fable-grade Constellation’ Uriel .

Ku-gugugugu!

[… . A new ‘Great Good’?]

Myth-grade Constellations looked at Uriel and began freaking out .

The new Great Good of , an existence meant to replace the Myth-grade Constellation, ‘Metatron’ . Uriel had become ’s leader, and chose to help us .

[All seraphim, advance!]

Along with Raphael’s signal, Archangels collided against the Fable-grade Constellations from and .

[‘Most Ancient Good’ is searching for its enemy!]

[Do you really think that the likes of a destroyed Nebula can overturn this battle’s outcome?]

Odin remained unflustered even then, and raised his spear to point it at Uriel . And the god spear that reputedly no one could evade, [Gungnir], flew towards her .

[Get out my sight . ]

The Statuses of [Flames of Conflagration] and [Gungnir] collided .

Odin’s thunderclaps tearing through the heavens, and Uriel’s conflagration that incinerated hell, clashed face to face .

Two Statuses fought intensely; in the battle between two Myth-grade Constellations where neither of them would normally back down, it was surprisingly Odin who withdrew first . His left arm summoning the spear back was trembling ever so slightly .

[How pathetic, Odin . Allow me to help . ]

Myth-grade Constellations were far more sensitive towards danger than any other existences .

They were the oldest stars in this world that hated unexpected variables . And that was why they would never allow any sort of danger to blossom .

Myth-grade Constellations exchanged glances in less than a blink of an eye and commenced bombardment on Uriel simultaneously .

Kwa-kwakwakwakwa!

Even if she was now ’s Great Good, she still wouldn’t be able to defend against such an attack . However, she didn’t back down . Even though feathers of her wings were ripped off, and crimson Fable splattered on her pale cheeks, her sword didn’t weaken at all .

[None of you are my greatest enemy . ]

Uriel who had always been watching our Fable from high up above in the sky – her eyes were now shifting in my direction .

[Nebula, , is readying its ‘Great Fable’ . ]

“Dok-Ja-ssi!”

From afar, my companions including Jeong Hui-Won were rushing towards us . Maybe she already knew the truth . Knew what Uriel was planning to do here .

Tsu-chuchuchut!

alone couldn’t fight against all of these Great Nebulas . The strengths of the Myth-grade Constellations permeating within this ark would even equal the whole of itself . So, if one wanted to defeat them, one required a ‘Great Fable’ with truly incredible Probability .

[The ⸢Stage Transformation⸥ is activating!]

Simply put, a massive myth that could bring all the other myths to their doom was needed .

[I am the ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ . ]

Uriel slowly blinked her eyes currently burning up like a real demon’s .

[I wish for an ‘Evil’ that will validate my Modifier . ]

As her words came to an end, flames erupting out from her [Flames of Conflagration] burned through the stars in the heavens . Something began writhing from the other side of hell .

⸢The Most Ancient Good called out to its enemy . ⸥

Right then, Yi Gil-Yeong’s eyes suddenly became white .

⸢And the demon curled up in hell’s deepest pit answered that call . ⸥

Something resembling the pitch-black storm clouds rolled in from beyond the burning sky .

Something that was not , not , and also not , flooded in towards this side while emitting truly despicable and insidious aura .

[Constellation, ‘Ruler of the Deepest Pit’, is opening the Pandǣmonium!]

Demons began waking up from the skies of the burning hell .

[‘Most Ancient Evil’ is searching for its enemy!]

[‘Wall that Divides the Good and Evil’ is drawing out its theme!]

The master of Pandǣmonium biding its time for an innumerable amount of time finally revealed its true strengths in place of the absent Demon Kings .

And so, the two representatives of Good and Evil began colliding with Myth-grade Constellations caught in the middle .

⸢And there was an ancient being observing that great battle between Good and Evil . ⸥

The [Chimera Dragon] flapping its wings in Shin Yu-Seung’s side suddenly began emitting light from deep within its body . It was a scene that happened in the original, too . Finally, her dragon was evolving into an ‘Ancient Dragon’ .

Soon, radiant golden lustre blinded everyone . The [Chimera Dragon], now enjoying the Status of a complete ‘Ancient Dragon’, roared out to the heavens above .

The ⸢Dragon Call⸥ . The howling of a dragon that summoned its kin by sacrificing its own life .

Gu-aaaaaaaah!!

And from the other side of the darkened sky, howls of dragons could be heard . Traces of electricity and flames danced everywhere . All dragons living in this world heeded the [Chimera Dragon]’s call and were flying over here .

[The ⸢Stage Transformation⸥’s degree of reproduction is rapidly rising up!]

Rather than tearing into the stars, the dragons started fighting tooth and nail against each other, instead . Even the [Gold Dragon’s Heart] replacing my original heart was writhing powerfully as well .

It was a sight we all witnessed back in the ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ .

⸢A Dragon with seven heads and ten horns will awaken from the centre of the hottest hell . ⸥

⸢He is the Dragon among all Dragons . The leader of Dragons born in the centre of chaos, the oldest hatred in this world . ⸥

The ‘Dragon’s Festival’, the riot of dragons taking place in the hottest place in hell, had commenced .

Myth-grade Constellations belatedly realised what was going on here and cried out in sheer astonishment .

[C-could these bastards be . . . . ?!]

[Make them stop!]

Everyone here knew very well what kind of calamity would crash the party if another ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ took place here .

[You, you bastards dare!!]

The Great Dokkaebis, not many remaining now after Bihyung’s sacrifice, revealed themselves inside the ark . The Great Dokkaebi ‘Garang’ with its horn now broken off, was yelling out loudly .

[Suppress that Great Fable’s Probability!]

Great Dokkaebis activated their authorities, and the Myth-grade Constellations inside the ark used up their own Coin reserves, as well .

[Constellation, ‘Master of December 25th’, does not want ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’!]

[Constellation, ‘Great Mother God Who Created Man Out of Earth’, does not want ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’!]

[Constellation, ‘One-eyed Father’, does not want ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’!]

[Constellation, ‘Master of Abydos’, does not want ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’!]

The Probability of the unfolding Stage Transformation was being suppressed as an incredible amount of Coins got injected simultaneously .

The ’s Probability flowed towards the direction the majority wanted to see . And at this stage, there didn’t seem to be anyone out there capable of going against the will of those possessing the most amount of Coins in this world .

⸢With an exception of one being . ⸥

I heard the soft hum of an engine coming from behind, followed by the familiar scent of a cigar .

“You’ve come . “

The ‘Mass Production-type Maker’ stood on my side and spoke up . [This is the type of Fable that I love the most . ]

He also said something similar back then, when we first met during the ‘Gourmet Association’ .

He was the Constellation that loved all the Fables of this world .

He formed an unreadable expression while looking at the Fable of ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ writhing violently before his eyes .

He was also a Constellation that spent his life mass-producing SSS-rank items .

[It has . . . . taken a really long time . ]

“My apologies . “

[Honestly speaking, I felt puzzled when I first heard what my ■■ would be . I believed that no such ■■ would ever come knocking at my door . ]

“And are your thoughts different now?”

The ‘Mass Production-type Maker’ wordlessly stubbed his cigar and killed it off . He then watched the Fable of the ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ with me . The history of all our battles was now being recreated in that place .

The ‘Mass Production-type Maker’ laughed out . [At the very least, I think I understand one thing – why my Fable coaxed me to amass such a large reserve of Coins until now . ]

Coins began floating up from his fingertips . There were so many that I couldn’t even dare to attempt at counting them .

[It seems that it was for the purpose of completing the ‘One Single Stage’ . ]

Coins, along with his life itself, got sucked up into the sky . And his Coins collided with the will of the numerous Constellations . The Myth-grade Constellations roared out in anger, and the ‘Mass Production-type Maker’ calmly opened his mouth .

The Constellation possessing this world’s greatest authority replied to them .

[Oh, my dear Constellations . I apologise, but I simply must see this stage . ]

And when all of his Coins were injected into the Probability in the air, its powerful storm began enveloping the entirety of the ark . Meanwhile, the Mass Production-type Maker’s body suddenly aged at a visible rate .

[Constellation, ‘Mass Production-type Maker’s’ ■■ is ‘Depletion’ . ]

[The deficient Probability has been satisfied!]

[Great Fable, ‘Season of Light and Darkness’, is being completely recreated on this stage!]

Tsu-chuchuchut!

A horrifying howl exploded out from the sky . Along with that explosion, dragons fell towards the ground . I quickly pulled both Han Su-Yeong and Anna Croft closer, and along with Yu Jung-Hyeok, evacuated towards where our companions were .

Finally, the last verse of all the scenarios – the destruction of all Constellations – was fast approaching us .

[Do not get sucked into this measly little ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’! We’ve won against many so-called great apocalypses time and time again, and got this far!]

The ‘Great Fables’ of the Myth-grade Constellations began waking up all at the same time . Every Great Fable found in this world howled out, as if they were unwilling to be overwhelmed by the scale of the ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ .

However, it was too late now .

⸢This Dragon will look at the heaven once, and at earth once, and will strike with its tail . Stars will fall from that single tail-flick, and a direction of the world will disappear . ⸥

A pair of eyes began gleaming from within the darkness .

Han Su-Yeong shuddered uncontrollably the moment she heard the violent howling of a dragon .

“Kim Dok-Ja!! Could this be . . . . !”

“It is . “

“You crazy?! If you wake that thing up again now-!!”

“We aren’t planning to wake that guy up . “

I looked at Yu Sang-Ah sitting in the lotus position in the corner while focusing all of her mind on something . Sweat drops trickled down her forehead .

[‘Wall that Decides Samsara’ is maintaining the seal on the Apocalypse Dragon . ]

As long as the successor of Sakyamuni was alive, the sealed Apocalypse Dragon would never be summoned to this place .

The flustered Han Su-Yeong asked me again . “T-then, what . . . . ?”

“Don’t you get it?”

She looked up at the dragons falling from the sky with a dazed expression .

The ‘Dragon’s Festival’ was a ceremony to decide the strongest dragon . And the single dragon that managed to survive until the end would become the ‘Final Dragon of Revelation’ .

Since when did it start? Han Su-Yeong’s left arm was trembling like crazy .

[The new ‘Final Dragon of Revelation’ has been selected!]

Ku-ooooooohhh!!!

Eventually, a massive dragon revealed itself through the destroyed ceiling of the ark . It was so huge that it’d easily tear apart your regular giant star to shreds .

Bewitching black flames were dancing on the jet-black, slick exterior that had shed its last layer of skin .

[Constellation, ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’, has incarnated into the ‘Final Ark’!]

“He’s the Apocalypse Dragon now . “

Fin .
