Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint - Chapter 509 - Episode 98 - Have you protected all that you were supposed to protect (2)

The Dokkaebi King’s brows quivered. The Fables from the 999th regression turn were now looming before him.

The Fables discarded by <Star Stream> had begun telling their stories one by one. They were waking Yu Jung-Hyeok up from the depth of ‘regression depression’.

The ‘Dokkaebi King’ frowned deeply next. [Why are you here? Did you not make a deal with me? You don’t have a pretext to help him.]

Sentences began floating up above the [Final Wall].

⸢We made a deal with the Dokkaebi King, you see? If we destroy this world-line, he will send us back. He will get in touch with your Sponsor, the ‘Most Ancient Dream’, and….⸥

Those were the words of the 999th turn Yi Ji-Hye.

The ‘Dokkaebi King’ spoke once more. [It was I who summoned you all to this world. Do you wish to be cast out of the world-line again? I ask you, do you wish to taste the everlasting pain while wandering the horrifying gap between dimensions without an end in sight?]

His words continued on as if to threaten them.

[This ‘Yu Jung-Hyeok’ is the enemy you’ve been searching for. He’s the very culprit who destroyed your world-line, the one who thrust your Fables into misery.]

There was a slight hint of agitation on the expressions of the ‘Outer supreme-rulers’.

The ‘Dokkaebi King’ was right; just like how it was with Yu Jung-Hyeok, they too came this far to settle the score from the world they used to live in.

It was then, someone opened his mouth.

[[What dogshit are you yapping on about? It’s you, asshole, who dropped us into this damn game, isn’t it? If the scenarios didn’t start in the first place, would I even be standing here doing this shit?]]

The ‘Monarch of the Great Abyss’, 999th turn’s Kim Nam-Woon spoke with a thuggish attitude. As if he had already finished making up his mind, truly incredible power of Chaos was being unleashed from his entire figure.

[Great Fable, ‘Delusional Design’, has begun its storytelling!]

[[Keuh-euh, it’s been so long since we fought together.]]

Kim Nam-Woon cackled as he undid the bandages from his hands.

He was a monster that even surpassed his own sponsor, ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’. His pitch-black obsidian hand, filled to the brim with thicker, more evil aura than anything Han Su-Yeong could ever produce, began sucking in the <Star Stream>’s night.

[Great Fable, ‘Heart Sealing the Sorrow’, has begun its storytelling!]

Right behind him, there was another man raising his huge figure up as well. It was the 999th turn’s Yi Hyeon-Seong, the ‘King of Silverlight Heart’.

The completed ‘Fable metal’ armour wrapped around his entire figure.

[[Dokkaebi King, I’m excluded from that deal since I have never agreed to it.]]

Next up, the ‘Master of the Sunken Island’, 999th turn’s Yi Ji-Hye summoned her gigantic battleship up in the air.

[Great Fable, ‘Wanderer of the Eternal Horizon’, has begun its storytelling.]

The atmosphere of the great ocean could be felt from her Twin Dragon Sword.

[[……]]

She wordlessly unsheathed her sword and protected Yu Jung-Hyeok’s right side. With that, the kings’ decision became clear.

[Exclusive skill, ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’, is forcibly activating!]

Their thoughts and determination were being transmitted to me in full.

They all hated the ‘Secretive Plotter’. However, that hatred was born out from the deep-seated yearning they all held.

⸢No one treasured ‘Yu Jung-Hyeok’ as much as them in any of the universes out there.⸥

It was all thanks to Yu Jung-Hyeok that they got to reach this far. To make sure they would reach here, the 999th turn’s Yu Jung-Hyeok sacrificed everything of him.

His arm was cut off, his legs were torn off, he lost both of his eyes, and in the end, he even sacrificed his life, too.

⸢It was Yu Jung-Hyeok who saved them, and killed them.⸥

They only lived for Yu Jung-Hyeok; how could people like them ever forget about him?

The wrath that had to be chained within the sinking island, the sorrow that could only be endured after turning your heart into steel; the pain that could only be forgotten by throwing yourself into the abyss.

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

And the ache that could only be appeased by burning oneself away. They repeatedly connected the film that threatened to be cut off at any time, and eventually reached the final pages of the story.

[[Step aside, Dokkaebi King. We only want one thing.]] The 999th turn’s Uriel, the ‘Living Flame’, spoke up. [[And that is to witness the ‘end’ we didn’t get to confirm back in our world-line.]]

At the end of her words, the [Flames of Conflagration] moved.

Kwa-kwakwakwakwa!

The [Hellflame] that utterly devastated the N’Gai’s Forest was now burning the interior of the Wall. Almost at the same time, the right hand of the 999th turn’s Kim Nam-Woon stabbed into the Dokkaebi King’s thigh.

[[Hahaha! Let’s kill a Dokkaebi for a change!]]

Kim Nam-Woon’s madness-filled Stigma sliced past the time and space, destroyed Fables, and aimed at the Dokkaebi King’s figure.

The two exchanged the exact amount of Fables during their attacks and defences; weapons created from the delusion grew out of Kim Nam-Woon’s right arm, while Star Relics summoned by the ‘Dokkaebi King’ appeared from several spots of the Wall and blocked off the former’s weapons.

Tsu-chuchuchut!

The [Final Wall] was the location where the Dokkaebi King’s Fable could display the greatest level of power. With the stage being what it was, the direction of the battle soon flowed disadvantageously for Kim Nam-Woon.

⸢Oh, the spear that rips the oceans apart and draws the borders in the seas.⸥

⸢Oh, the arrow that shot down the eye of the sun.⸥

Sentences leaking out from several spots on the Wall soon became reality.

Shu-shushushuk!

The Star Relics matched the Dokkaebi King’s signal and flew in, turning the entire figure of the ‘Monarch of the Great Abyss’ into Swiss cheese; a spear stabbed into his thigh, while the arrow pierced into his arm. However, even as the pitch-black Fable dripped out from him, Kim Nam-Woon was grinning.

[[Go! Taekwon Hyeon-Seong!]]

Along with Kim Nam-Woon’s cry, a figure taking the spot behind him rose up.

Kwa-dudududu….

It was the 999th turn’s Yi Hyeon-Seong. His powerful, sturdy arms wrapped tightly around the Dokkaebi King, then forged steel occupying the space grew out from his entire body. As the powerful sparks exploded, the steel tightly secured the Dokkaebi King’s arms and legs.

[[Ji-Hye-ya!]]

At the end of the 999th turn Yi Hyeon-Seong’s signal, the ‘Master of the Sunken Island’, made her move.

[[Load the cannon.]]

A massive battleship floating in the night sky could be spied within the Wall’s gap created by the impact with the ark. Along with a powerful whirlpool swirling about, something was being loaded in front of the ship. The Status emitted from there was more than enough to blow up a planet in its entirety. When taking a closer look, it was not a shell that had been loaded into the gigantic cannon.

[[Fire!!]]

And while issuing a huge explosion noise, a shooting star fired out from the ship. It was the ‘Living Flame’, descending like a star with a blindingly bright tail behind her back.

She had willingly become a bullet and now, was flying straight at the ‘Dokkaebi King’. The 999th turn’s Uriel shot forward in a shocking turn of speed while melting everything getting in her way. The 999th turn’s Fable concentrated on the tip of her sword began burning up violently.

[[It’s not only the Conquering King that have killed you before.]]

⸢This was the method the 999th turn’s characters used to clear the final pages.⸥

The incandescent sun shattered the Wall’s exterior and advanced forward. Fables clinging onto the Final Wall writhed in pain from that incredible heat.

This was the attack that no one in this world-line could possibly defend against.

⸢Yet, the ‘Dokkaebi King’ was doing exactly that against such an attack.⸥

Creaaaaaaaaak-!!
