Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint - Chapter 452 - Episode 85 - The Final Wall (4)

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….⸥

[<Star Stream> is observing the entrance of the new ‘Outer supreme-ruler’.]

[<Star Stream> 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 supreme-ruler possessing a similar level of Status as the Secretive Plotter caused confusion to spread among the small Outer supreme-rulers.

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

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

[Constellation, ‘Lily Blooming on Aquarius’, is opening her eyes wide!]

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.

[<Bureau> 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 supreme-rulers, 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 <Star Stream> 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 supreme-ruler 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 supreme-ruler’.⸥

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

The original novel didn’t specify who that ‘Outer supreme-ruler’ 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 supreme-ruler’ 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.
