"Titano!" The outraged Lee Gilyoung jumped from the head of the praying mantis. A yellow mucus emerged from Lee Gilyoung's body and spread into the air. "Go! Antinus!" A wind parasite emerged from Lee Gilyoung's body. It was a 5th grade parasitic species. Shin Yoosung was startled. "…Antinus?" Shin Yoosung knew this presence. It was because she destroyed Chronos before coming to Earth. Antinus was the from the dominant species on Chronos. She was a monster in the form of a queen. Shin Yoosung couldn't believe it. The child had dominated Antinus? "You are better than expected, Kid." After her moment of surprise, Shin Yoosung grabbed the parasite in her hands. Antinus' mucus that was touching her fingertips started to burn black. It was natural. The guides had bodies that couldn't resist the disasters. "You have the talent to tame a guide. You are a child with the talent of a Lord. Right? He also found…" Lee Gilyoung shouted without caring about her questions. "What did you do to Dokja hyung?" "What?" "Where is hyung?"
Lee Gilyoung's fist hit her belly. It was a direct blow but Lee Gilyoung was the one whose wrist broke. He was a great talent but the opponent was too terrible. Shin Yoosung grabbed Lee Gilyoung's neck and lifted him into the air. "…Who is Dokja?" Blood poured down the struggling Lee Gilyoung's face. "Say it. Otherwise I will kill you." At this moment, a booming sound was heard in the distance and shells fell towards the ground where she was standing. Shin Yoosung jumped lightly and avoided the shells. The Ghost Fleet started firing again? How? "Gilyoung!" She could see Lee Jihye and Lee Hyunsung running in the distance. Doubt filled Shin Yoosung's head… It was strange. Surely those were deadly blows. How were they still alive? Did her strength control fail? Her? Shin Yoosung feel annoyed and inserted more strength into the hand holding Lee Gilyoung's neck. In any case, it was better to ask them. "Goodbye Kid." The moment she increased her grip, pain spread in her head. She was startled and dropped Lee Gilyoung to the ground. Her trembling right hand was wriggling abnormally. Surely she wasn't infected with a parasite? No, it was impossible. A 5th grade parasite couldn't interfere with a returnee. Then what was this?" Why wasn't her body listening to her all of a sudden? Then she heard a voice. 「 Stop, Shin Yoosung. 」
Strangely, Shin Yoosung found something deep inside her react the moment she heard this voice. One side of her heart started to ache like crazy. She didn't know it. It was obviously a voice she didn't know. "…W-Who the hell are you? Get out of me!" What was this nostalgic feeling? Shin Yoosung grabbed her head like she was resisting her own senses. "You! Get out of me!" She was filled with the desire to vomit as unknown memories revolved in her head. The films of the worlds were becoming tangled together. 「 Yoosung. 」 She was distracted by the voice when the young Shin Yoosung approached. The young Shin Yoosung's lips moved. "Ahjussi, are you there?"
Chapter 105: Ep. 21 – Things That Can't Be Changed, III Controlling the body of a disaster? I didn't intend on this from the beginning. Originally my plan was something else. I decided to modify the plan the moment my mind transferred to Shin Yoosung's body. [Exclusive skill, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint stage 3 has been activated!] [The 1st person supporting role viewpoint has been activated.] To be exact, I had to modify it. 「 …I can't admit it. 」 「 Then what am I? How long have I lived? 」 「 What can I get for returning? 」
In the midst of Shin Yoosung's turbulent pain, I saw the world with her eyes. I breathed through Shin Yoosung's nose and killed people with Shin Yoosung's hand. I expressed Shin Yoosung's thoughts with her voice. I was Shin Yoosung. [The exclusive skill, 'Fourth Wall' is shaking!] Then I met Lee Jihye. I knew the moment I met her that Lee Jihye would die here. Thus, for the first time I tried something that I hadn't done before. [The 1st person supporting role viewpoint interferes with the behaviour of the character.] [The exclusive skill, 'Fourth Wall' is shaking ominously.] There was an electric current in my head followed by tremendous pain. Yet the moment Shin Yoosung dealt the decisive blow, I was able to pull back her right hand. It was a fine adjustment so Shin Yoosung didn't notice, but I definitely did it. Lee Jihye didn't die. [Your understanding of the character 'Shin Yoosung' has increased.] The same thing was repeated with Lee Hyunsung. My mind had become a bit ragged but I thought that I might be able to do something. I poured more of my heart into it and increased my grip on Shin Yoosung's body. Finally, it happened when Shin Yoosung grabbed Lee Gilyoung's neck. "W-Who are you?" I succeeded in controlling Shin Yoosung's right hand.
[You have a very high understanding of the character 'Shin Yoosung'.] Someone else's arm moved according to my will. It was an amazing experience. "…Ahjussi?" Shin Yoosung asked. "Get out of me!" Shin Yoosung's right arm under my control starting shaking. The abnormally deformed arm turned black and swollen, like the blood vessels were bursting. The young Shin Yoosung rushed to grab the blackened arm. "Ahjussi, you're in there right? Ahjussi!" The young Shin Yoosung grabbed my right arm. At this moment, a strong spark entered the right arm. It was a spark similar to a probability storm. The surprised people came running but the sparks blew them away. The 'disaster' Shin Yoosung and the 'young' Shin Yoosung saw each other at the same time. The wave of memories were gathering. 「 "Ahjussi." 」 「 "Captain." 」 It wasn't possible. If the 'Disconnected Film' theory was correct, the two people shouldn't have a shared history. 「 "You… can kill me. It's okay." 」 「 "I wanted to survive." 」
When I thought about it, the Disconnected Film theory only applied to 'characters'. I came from outside the novel. What if my existence played a role in connecting their memories? What if I connected the two films? I could feel both Shin Yoosungs holding my hand. The third round and the 41st round. The two different times were facing each other. 「 "Is it worth it for me to live?" 」 「 "Then what is the value of this life?" 」 "No! This… these memories…" The panicked disaster Shin Yoosung stuttered and bit on her blue lips. A mighty energy was being created inside Shin Yoosung's body. There was the sound of something tearing and the young Shin Yoosung was thrown away from the right arm. Shin Yoosung was damaging her own body in an attempt to get me out. Blood flowed from her and her combat power started to rapidly drop. The balance of her flesh was being broken due to the excessive magic power. 「 Shin Yoosung! Wait, stop this! 」 "Aaaack!" Shin Yoosung grabbed her head and struggled to expel me. I shared her senses and felt like I was going crazy from the nausea and pain. Shin Yoosung's mind was blank. I was troubled for a moment. If this continued, the disaster Shin Yoosung…
Dammit! . . My consciousness left Shin Yoosung's body and all five senses disappeared. [The skill conflict error is normalized.] [The delayed privilege of the King of No Killing has reappeared.] [Your body is resurrected from death.] … Maybe this wasn't the right choice. However, I wanted to give it a try. [A constellation who likes to change gender is sad.] I would always regret it if I didn't. [The recreation of your flesh has begun.] [The exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' offsets the mental shock caused by your death.] [Compensation is being prepared for the Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint stage 3.] It was my second resurrection after dying from the fire dragon. I felt my nerves being reconstructed and struggled once again. The regenerated lungs filled with air and the optic
nerves were connected, restoring my vision. The abstract activity of the mind was transplanted onto the cerebral cortex. [The privilege of the King of No Killing has been completed.] [100 karma points have been consumed.] [The wastes of your flesh have been completely removed and the performance of your body has increased.] [Physique and magic power has increased by 2 levels each.] [You have exceeded in overall stats limit for the scenario.] Fortunately, it was the second resurrection and I didn't have an unseemly appearance. I looked around and saw my scattered items and clothing. It was lucky that no one had taken them. I started putting on my clothes when I heard an eerie voice behind me. "…Kim Dokja?" Ah, come to think of it, that bastard was right beside me. I looked back and saw Yoo Joonghyuk staring at me with disbelief. His shoulders were still covered with the sulfur mummies' bandages. "How on earth?" I sighed. I couldn't explain about the King of No Killing here so I said something else. "…Don't say that you will kill me again. I really will die this time." "Kim Dokja, you…!" "I will explain it later. There is no time."
I swung the Blade of Faith and freed Yoo Joonghyuk from the sulfur mummies' bandages. The sulfur mummies shrieked and stared at me. Then I activated Way of the Wind through Bookmark. I carried the injured Yoo Joonghyuk on my shoulder and rushed towards the frozen Han River. From afar, I could see incarnations fighting with monsters. There was a black aura rising from Yongsang-gu, Seoul. It was for certain. The disaster Shin Yoosung was over there. "Ahjussi?" "Dokja-ssi!" I found my party members running towards me. I put Yoo Joonghyuk down on the ground and ordered. "Take a break." Then I ran straight towards the disaster Shin Yoosung. "Dokja-ssi, it is dangerous." "It's okay." I stopped Lee Hyunsung and moved forward. "Shin Yoosung." The Disaster of Floods was sitting down while holding her head. Blood flowed down and hit the ground. I was certain that the incarnations didn't dare approach because of the terrible aura she was emitting. Right now, everyone could kill the current Disaster of Floods if they combined forces. "You… who… are you?" The disaster Shin Yoosung looked at me with trembling eyes. "It's all ruined… because of you…
this isn't the round that I know." The soul that had lasted over a thousand years was shaking with fear. "No, not at all." The change began with Yoo Joonghyuk and then her spirit started collapsing the moment she encountered the Shin Yoosung of the past. She hated Yoo Joonghyuk. Her anger had accumulated over a thousand years. The strong emotions had crumbled at the memories she received. Maybe this hope could change the world. It was the small bit of hope that the disaster Shin Yoosung saw. It might be very small but hope could overwhelm despair. I approached Shin Yoosung and knelt down beside her. Shin Yoosung stared at me. "You have done well." I kept thinking about what she would most want to hear. No such thing had appeared in Ways of Survival. I could only come up with the words myself. If I was Shin Yoosung… "I've been waiting for you for a long time." Shin Yoosung's eyes shook uneasily. "…You have been waiting? Who are you?" "A person who wants the same world you do." At this point, Shin Yoosung's eyes changed drastically. 「 I… 」 Little by little, Yoo Sangah touched my shoulder.
"Dokja-ssi." I nodded and got up. My companions were looking at me. I looked at them and opened my mouth. "Everyone." I liked the Disaster of Floods episode. I loved all the characters who appeared in this episode and valued them. Perhaps that was why I hoped for this episode to not happen. "I won't kill the disaster." I thought about it. In the original third round, the Disaster of Floods died after the young Shin Yoosung was killed. However, I wondered if there was another ending to this episode that I didn't know about. It was an ending that had never been attempted. "I won't accept any arguments. This time, I hope you will listen to my suggestion." "Ahjussi, what is this bullshit?" There was no time limit for the fifth scenario. What if the Disaster of Floods gave up her role and what if we didn't hunt the disaster? Perhaps this scenario would just continue without anyone dying. Some people understood while others looked confused. The first one who nodded was Yoo Sangah and then Lee Hyunsung opened his mouth. "You must have an idea. I will follow Dokja's will." "It is fine if that's what hyung wants. But can I hit her as much as she hit Titano?"
"Damn, do whatever you want. Since when hasn't ahjussi done what you wanted? But is it okay?" I listened to the party members' words and then looked at the young Shin Yoosung. "I…" The girl had tears in her eyes. Perhaps Shin Yoosung had seen it, everything that her future self experienced. Thus, it was cruel to ask the young Shin Yoosung about what to do with Shin Yoosung. I stroked the child's hair and finally looked back at the disaster Shin Yoosung. She had a distorted expression like she was a wounded beast. "You will spare me? Don't make me laugh. Who are you to say that?" The only thing she had left was her pride. "I have lived through the 41st round of regression. I remember everything that no one in this world knows. What do you know? How did I spend that time? How can I forget all of that?" The words of the future Shin Yoosung stopped. It was because Yoo Joonghyuk was watching her. "…" In this moment, Shin Yoosung realized the real meaning of what she said. Being lost among worlds. Losing her loved ones. Nevertheless, living in that world again. There was only one person in this world who understood her grief. "Every regressor lives hating the things that haven't happened yet."
Regressor Yoo Joonghyuk started talking. "That guy will be a bad person in the future and I should kill him. That person will kill my companion in the future and I should kill him. That person will be my companion in the future and I should save them." I could read the emotions in Yoo Joonghyuk's eyes. Since I was able to read them, Yoo Joonghyuk felt strange to me for the first time. I had never seen such an honest Yoo Joonghyuk. "It is a future that hasn't happened yet. I know they don't remember me and that they haven't done anything yet. Still, I believed and acted like they did. That's how I lived. It is because everything clearly happened to me and I can't live by denying it." Anger returned to Shin Yoosung's eyes. "Yes! It is because you lived that way! My companions…" "So you also live that way, Shin Yoosung." "…What?" "If you want, I will bear your hatred." I couldn't say anything because I was too saddened by Yoo Joonghyuk's words. "Survive this round for the sake of killing me." Yoo Joonghyuk spoke some final words. Perhaps this was the warmest that Yoo Joonghyuk could be. It was the first time I noticed that Yoo Joonghyuk's back was so big and wide. His back was wide and lonely.
Shin Yoosung stared at Yoo Joonghyuk with her mouth wide open. Ironically, she understood the man who she hated for thousands of years due to all the years she lived. "Captain… wait. Captain!" I was able to feel the ripples in Shin Yoosung's heart. 「 …Is this really okay? 」 「 Keep going for this reason. 」 「 This world, you don't have to abandon it… 」 Some anger hadn't disappeared and some sorrows hadn't been erased. However, as long as she lived, salvation would come one day. I told Shin Yoosung, "Shin Yoosung, this is your 'round' now." I couldn't change anything when I was a reader. It was because I was a reader that I could change it now. I thought I could change it. At least, until the voice of the intermediate dokkaebi was heard.
Chapter 106: Ep. 21 – Things That Can't Be Changed, IV [I'm sorry but that's a bit difficult.] I thought it was time for this guy to come out. It was the fucking intermediate dokkaebi. This guy managed the entire Seoul scenario and couldn't help moving at this time. However, I was a bit confident. "Why is it difficult? We aren't breaking the scenario's rules." [Spare the disaster? Are you insane? You must want to die.] "No, it is the opposite. I am doing this to live." The voice of the intermediate dokkaebi became harder. [Don't you know that this is a violation of the rules? The content of the scenario is to kill the disaster. If you don't stick to the scenario…]
"Don't worry. I will kill the disaster." Everyone looked at me the moment I said these words. "Ahjussi, what are you…?" In particular, Lee Jihye looked at me like I was a psychopath. It wasn't strange. I previously said I wouldn't kill the disaster and now I said I would. Most of the party members were waiting for my next words. I felt a bit flattered by the trusting silence. "Just not right now." [What?] "The scenario doesn't indicate a time limit. Then it is up to us when we want to kill the disaster." The intermediate dokkaebi looked like he had eaten Chinese medicine. "Thus, there is no need to rush." The disaster Shin Yoosung looked up at me with a bemused expression. She hadn't known that such a thing was possible. [The constellation 'Scribe of Heaven' is looking at you with strange eyes.] The agitation of the constellations could be felt. There weren't many episodes that rebelled against the scenario, even when I searched all of Ways of Survival. That's why it was of great interest to the constellations. This was particularly true in situations where the distinction between good and evil was ambiguous. The number of subscribers from the absolute good or absolute evil constellations would rise in an overwhelming manner. It was their daily routine to discern the good and evil of the characters.
[I can't allow it.] "Are you going to interfere in another scenario? Have you forgotten what happened last time?" […] My confidence came from the fact that this was a main scenario, not a sub-scenario. It was also the fifth scenario that was scaled to engulf all of the dome, making it difficult for the intermediate dokkaebi to change the criteria of the scenario. In addition, the intermediate dokkaebi had already received disciplinary action from the bureau. He must be afraid of being punished again and didn't have much chance of winning this fight against me. I saw Bihyung biting his nails nearby and told him, 'Be prepared. If something happens, you are the only one I can believe in'. –Dammit, why should I? 'Don't forget that we will die together'. Bihyung settled down and the intermediate dokkaebi opened his mouth. [Very interesting. But it won't turn out as you think.] Yes, I knew he wouldn't give up easily. [Not all incarnation in Seoul Dome are the same as you.] The intermediate dokkaebi flicked his finger. Then system messages popped up.
[A new sub-scenario has arrived!] I knew what he was thinking. If he couldn't touch the main scenario then he would set up the sub-scenario. [From now on, I will double the bounty on the disaster.] The original compensation was 100,000 coins and it was doubled, which meant 200,000 coins. It was an amount that could make someone rise to the top of Seoul Dome in an instant. It was enough to risk their lives… For some reason, no incarnations came running. "Don't move." "Cherish your lives. If you don't want to die like moths!" The powerful kings were controlling the incarnations. They were King of Beauty Min Jiwon and Maitreya King Cha Sangkyung. There was also the Neutral King, Jeon Ildo. [The constellation 'Maritime War God' is proud of the incarnations on the Korean Peninsula.] Of course, there were forces that the kings couldn't control but they also didn't act. They had already seen the power of the disaster. It was natural that a small number of people wouldn't act, regardless of whether the reward was 100,000 or 200,000 coins. There was also our party covering the disaster Shin Yoosung… […How disappointing. The incarnations of Seoul Dome are cowards.] There was an ominous feeling in the air. The intermediate dokkaebi was thinking about how to make this situation
worse. I had to act quickly. At this point, I had to go for victory. "Do you yield? Honestly, won't everyone be satisfied?" [Everyone will be satisfied?] I didn't say anything else. I'm sure the intermediate dokkaebi understood without me saying anything. [Haha, I see. Is that what you were thinking? I heard from Dokgak but you truly put on a great show.] The reason for the existence of the dokkaebis was the scenarios. They were the scenarios that many constellations responded to and many constellations liked. In the world of the Star Stream, there was only one case where there was a miracle that reversed the scenario. It was if the majority of constellations saw the scenario and wanted to change the direction of the scenario. […Certainly, violence isn't the only stimulus.] I tried to appeal to the constellations with disaster Shin Yoosung's situation. I chose words to avoid the filtering and continued to ignite the constellations by exposing information. I made them sympathize with the disaster Shin Yoosung. It was all to support my rebellion. As a result, this whole situation was created. Indeed, I could hear the messages of the constellations in my ears. [The constellation 'Bald General of Justice' respects your will.]
[The constellation 'Last Hero of Hwangsanbeol' admires your will.] Everything was going as planned. "If you understand then can you decide now? Give me the reward or continue with the fifth scenario." There was no problem with continuing the sixth scenario even if the fifth scenario hadn't ended. It was possible to run multiple main scenarios. If the dokkaebi was smart then he should stop while the constellations were satisfied. [Incarnation Kim Dokja. You are the smartest and scariest out of all the incarnations I know.] I felt a strange sense of incongruity from the dokkaebi's expression. [However, it is this cleverness that is grabbing at your ankles.] "…What does that mean?" The dokkaebi's following words weren't for me. [Okay Constellations. Now I will show you the story you have been waiting for.] Sparks filled the air. The intermediate dokkaebi was moving the scenario. [The intermediate dokkaebi has intervened in the scenario.] [According to the scenario contract, control of the 'Disaster of Floods Shin Yoosung' has been transferred to the intermediate dokkaebi.]
Shin Yoosung's expression started to change at the system messages. "N-No. Wait. I… aaaack!" A black aura rose from disaster Shin Yoosung's body. I hurriedly shouted, "Wait! What are you doing?" [I am fulfilling the contract. This is a cog in the scenario.] I only realized now what he was trying to do. It was the scenario enforcement right. It was the power to control the fate of all 'parts' involved in the scenario. I knew it existed in Ways of Survival but I didn't think it would be used immediately. [The personality of the character is forcibly changed.] [The personality of the character 'Shin Yoosung' will be fixed to 'evil'.] The disaster Shin Yoosung was becoming a monster. I bit my lip. The scenario enforcement generally wasn't used because the dokkaebi consumed a lot of probability. But to use it now… [Many constellations are cheering the development of the scenario.] [Many constellations hate your new drama.] It could only be used if many constellations agreed to this development. Dammit, why? "Dokja-ssi?" "Hyung!"
The party members nervously approached my side. They realized that something was wrong. However, I couldn't understand. Why had the constellations suddenly turned their backs on me? Bihyung's expression was dark as he looked at the sky. –Sorry, I tried to persuade them but it didn't work. 'Why…' –Your reputation is worse than you expected. The intermediate dokkaebi said, [Arrogant incarnation. Do you think the constellation would be that easy?] …Then what about all the favourable indirect messages? [Well, humans originally have the habit of believing what they want to believe.] I had misjudged due to the indirect messages that popped up one after another. [Many constellations are laughing at your decision.] [Some constellations have withdrawn their support for you.] That's right. Not all constellations sent indirect messages. Only a small number of constellations sent messages. [Many constellations are wary of your intentions.] It might be natural that public opinion was bad towards me. I cheated them through a trick and canceled the event. The constellations probably already knew that Bihyung's channel had a capacity of 9,999. They knew but had been deceived by my scenario. Now they were no longer fooled.
[Constellations of the Korean Peninsula are looking at you sadly.] [The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is looking at you with compassion.] Maybe I was too shallow when I thought about the constellations. [It seems like your luck ends here, Incarnation Kim Dokja.] "Ahhhhh!" A disturbing aura flowed from the body of Shin Yoosung who had been forced to become evil. It was a killing intent that felt like it could melt flesh. The incarnations screamed and fled. I could see Yoo Joonghyuk pulling out Splitting the Sky Sword in the distance. [I hope you put on a good show till the end.] I slowly withdrew from the disaster. Shin Yoosung's face distorted sadly. It ended up like this. I quickly glanced at Yoo Joonghyuk. Things had turned out this way and it was obvious what choice he would make. "Wait a minute, Yoo Joonghyuk." "You have failed." "Don't touch the child." I hid the young Shin Yoosung behind my back. "I won't forgive you if you touch this child." Yoo Joonghyuk glared at me. "There is no other way." A way… I bit my lips until they bled.
"There is a way. We need to show the constellations their favourite scenario." "What do you mean?" "Defeat the disaster." Yoo Joonghyuk's expression hardened. "It is suicide Kim Dokja. Are you going to be a pushover?" I saw Shin Yoosung turning into a demon and destroying everything around her. I didn't want it to be like this. This wasn't the ending I wanted. This damn world, even resisting a scenario became another scenario. [Many constellations are excited by your words.] [Many of the constellations want an exhilarating melee.] Yes, they wanted to see this. "Support me Yoo Joonghyuk. I will stop the disaster." I had to give it a try. "Kim Dokja, you…" "I can do it." I blinked slowly and the option I had postponed emerged in front of me. [You have experienced the first person supporting role viewpoint.] [You can take one of the supporting role's skills.] [Presenting the list of available skills.]
[Please select a skill to acquire.] I opened the list and picked an option without hesitation. "No. 3, Beast King's Sensitivity." [The exclusive skill 'Beast King's Sensitivity' has been acquired!] As if waiting, an ether storm emerged from disaster Shin Yoosung's hands. It was the ether storm that made a hole in my belly and made Yoo Joonghyuk incapable of fighting. I protected my party members and received the storm head on. [The exclusive skill 'Beast King's Sensitivity Lv. 3' has been activated.] A pure white fur cloak. It was a unique skill of Beast Lord Shin Yoosung. More than half of my magic power was consumed activating it and I became dizzy, but I succeeded in receiving the attack of Shin Yoosung. The dignity of Beast King's Sensitivity didn't lose to the mighty storm. Yoo Joonghyuk frowned. "You stole her skill but it is still impossible." "I know." I looked at disaster Shin Yoosung. Despite her nature being set to evil and losing control of her body, her eyes were filled with emotions. She told him. 「 …It's okay. Kill me. 」 Who could swing a sword after seeing those eyes? The woman who wandered for over a thousand years and
suffered. I had to kill her now. This was the price I paid for failing to change the story… For the first time, I felt resentful that Ways of Survival had become reality. "Open your eyes and watch carefully." I looked up at the sky and declared. "This is the scenario you wanted." [The exclusive skill 'Bookmark' can now be activated.] Now that Shin Yoosung was in her final phase, it was an unwinnable fight. In the end, it was a fight that no one could win. ['Character Bookmarks' is activated.] [Available Bookmark Slots: 4] [Bringing up the list of available bookmarks.] "I will release Delusion Demon Kim Namwoon from the 1st slot and add Judge of Destruction Jung Heewon."
Chapter 107: Ep. 21 – Things That Can't Be Changed, V [The level of the Bookmark skill is low, shortening the activation time.] [Activation Time: 30 minutes] [Your understanding of the character is significant. You can select some of her skills to import.] Shin Yoosung ran towards me and I ran towards her. No one wanted to kill each other and there was no sincerity. This was only a fight for the constellations' amusement. Everything was a scenario and therefore everything was fake. However, the result of this battle was that someone was going to die. ['Judgment Time Lv. 5' has been activated.] The activation skill was level 5. It seemed that Jung Heewon had been training hard. Jung Heewon wasn't here but it
wasn't bad. [The constellation 'Scribe of Heaven' is embarrassed.] [Constellations of the Absolute Good system are deep in thought.] It was natural to be confused since someone who wasn't a judge had used an unauthorized skill. Yet they were bound to give me permission. It was because the presence in front of me was obviously evil. [The Absolute Good constellations have agreed to the use of this skill.] A hot aura sprang up from deep inside my body. It was a blind sense of righteousness that would punish all evils in the world. The history of the archangels who fought a holy war with the great demons passed through my head in pieces. –Punish evil. Judgment Time was originally a skill used by the great valkyries. Thus, the user of this skill received the archangels' favour. The madness that excluded everything other than the narrow definition of justice wriggled in my brain. Jung Heewon felt like this every time she killed other people for me. It was terrible. A wave of unrivaled magic power burst out from the Blade of Faith. The ether blade resonated and moved in a straight line towards Shin Yoosung. Blood splashed from the shoulder of the surprised Shin Yoosung. The Beast King's Sensitivity that wasn't damaged
by the shells of the Ghost Fleet was finally torn. Drops of blood fell onto the white fur. Hour of Judgement. The user of this skill couldn't be defeated as long as the enemy was 'evil'. Now all my stats rose to the point where I could resist the disaster Shin Yoosung. Judgment Time was a fraudulent skill. There were only a few skills in all of Ways of Survival that could give such crazy buffs. "Everyone attack!" I might've become stronger but Shin Yoosung's skill masteries were still ahead of me. Thus, I needed help. "When she is attacking normally, support using ranged attacks. When trying a wide range attack, be sure to get behind me!" The party members nodded at my words. "If you don't have ranged support then kill the monsters emerging from the Monster Gate. It is urgent as well." In fact, it was because monsters were still emerging from Shin Yoosung's Monster Gate that Yongsan-gu was almost on the verge of collapse. "Everyone fight!" The kings ordered and the full-fledged battle began. The forces of the kings blocked the monsters coming from the Monster Gate. Most of them were 7th grade species and were quite daunting. Fortunately, the incarnations didn't seem to be greatly pushed back. "I'll take care of that monkey."
Lee Hyunsung ran towards the 5th grade Heavy Metal Bean. "I will take Yoosung's king." Lee Gilyoung moved with the young Shin Yoosung. Queen Mirabad controlled by Shin Yoosung roared and some of the insect kings' subordinates that Lee Gilyoung summoned rushed towards the King Masswood. The cold breaths of the ichthyosaurs poured towards each other and Lee Jihye stepped forward. "Ahjussi, leave the covering fire to me." "I'll block her movements." Lee Jihye fired the cannons and Yoo Sangah made a trap with Arachne's Spiderweb, keeping the movements of the disaster Shin Yoosung in check. Of course, it was only a small help. The shell bombardment barely damaged her and Shin Yoosung just tore apart the web. It was better than nothing. "Yoo Joonghyuk. Can you fight?" Apart from me, only Yoo Joonghyuk could follow the movements of Shin Yoosung and endure her attacks to some extent. "…Don't worry about me." Yoo Joonghyuk spilled blood on the floor as he stood beside me with the Splitting the Sky Sword. He might've already used Recovery because his condition seemed better than before. There wouldn't be long until he received the backlash of using Recovery. I asked, "How many minutes do you have left?"
"30 minutes. You?" "I am the same." It was only possible to use Bookmark for 30 minutes. Thus, I had to end it in only 30 minutes. The black aura flowing from Shin Yoosung's body thickened. It meant that her physical stats were increasing due to the evil energy. Yoo Joonghyuk's expression hardened. "…It seems that she joined hands with a great demon to cross worlds." Yoo Joonghyuk's guess was right. In fact, now her soul was mortgaged to a great demon. Then that great demon turned her over to the damn dokkaebis. [Hahaha, interesting. Very interesting.] The intermediate dokkaebi sounded pleasantly surprised. [The scenario is now like this.] It was a battlefield were blood splattered and flesh was damaged. The destruction of Seoul Dome, which I wanted to prevent, was approaching with every second. [Many constellations are excited by the battle.] "Let's go." Yoo Joonghyuk launched himself quickly along with his words. Shin Yoosung puffed up and blew a breath towards us. Beast King's Breath. It was an ether storm of destructive that was comparable to the 5th grade sea species' Ice Breath. "Avoid it!"
Yoo Joonghyuk invoked Red Phoenix Shunpo to the extreme and escaped from the attacks of the disaster Shin Yoosung. I didn't avoid the attacks like Yoo Joonghyuk and used Beast King's Sensitivity instead. I felt genuinely impressed with Yoo Joonghyuk's combat senses. The disaster was a disaster but Yoo Joonghyuk was a monster. It was only Yoo Joonghyuk who could resist the disaster without the Judgment Time buff. He was a strong, cool, ruthless regressor. I was relieved that he was currently on my side. "Do it properly, Kim Dokja!" "I'm doing it!" "Dammit…" I just needed to approach and deal a blow, but it wasn't that easy. After several successful attacks, Shin Yoosung became more violent. She was in a berserk state and kept firing the ether storm. Her magic power might be depleted but I was barely able to withstand it with Beast King's Sensitivity. Yoo Joonghyuk had dealt some blows but the damage hardly accumulated. How long did we exchange blows? It had been already 20 minutes when I came to my senses. Yoo Joonghyuk's physical strength dropped sharply and the magic power potions I drank like juice were running out. Strong. I never thought I would struggle so much despite using Hour of Judgement. My stiff body creaked violently. The side effects of Judgment Time were gradually being felt.
[Hahaha! This is a really nice scenario. Constellations, don't you agree?] I listened to the voice of the intermediate dokkaebi and moved forward with all my strength. The fur of the Beast King's Sensitivity flapped like crazy. My skin became black from the ether storm. One step, two steps. I got near but time wasn't on our side. I wouldn't be able to do enough damage before the 30 minutes was up. Then something happened inside Shin Yoosung's body. Her body shook like she was struck by lightning and her dark eyes temporarily recovered its senses. 「 Attack me. 」 The disaster Shin Yoosung was controlling her body with her will. 「 Stop me. 」 I didn't say it but I heard it. 「 Protect this 'round'. 」 I broke through the temporarily weakened ether storm and ran forward with Yoo Joonghyuk. I swung my sword and blood splattered from Shin Yoosung's body. [The constellation 'Scribe of Heaven' is looking at you.] I did my best not to show the worst performance. [The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is looking at you.]
Shin Yoosung screamed as she was cut by the blade and the storm blew Yoo Joonghyuk back. "…Go, Kim Dokja." I pierced through the gap that Yoo Joonghyuk made. The Blade of Faith dug exactly into Shin Yoosung's shoulder without hesitation. Magic power ran through the blade and ripped through the Beast King's Sensitivity. Then Shin Yoosung's left arm was cut off. Blood fell. I stared into Shin Yoosung's face. Just like in Ways of Survival, Shin Yoosung was smiling. I realized that she deliberately allowed herself to be hit by my sword. [A number of constellations can't take their eyes off your battle.] "Dammit…" I smiled weakly and the sword fell from my hands. Shin Yoosung laughed. 「 Don't you look stupid? 」 She grabbed me and threw me to the ground without any screams of anger. However, it didn't hurt. It wasn't an attack. 「 Do you want to continue? 」 "Yes." I swung my sword towards her and Shin Yoosung fired a breath at me again. It was like an answer to a question. We frantically damaged each other.
"It can't continue like this." My Beast King's Sensitivity was losing its effect because I was lacking magic power. Hour of Judgement strengthened my body to the limits but it was just a temporary crutch. Blood flowed and the world spun because of dizziness. However, I didn't stop. The damage was definitely accumulating. [Some constellations reluctant towards you have become curious.] Go crazy. [Constellations roaming the battlefields are paying attention to your battle.] Make a lot of fuss. [Constellations of the great battlefields praise your will.] Just wait until the day I go and pull out your tongues. How many more blows did we exchange? My weakened body staggered back. [There are 30 seconds left for Bookmark.] Some internal organs were damaged and a broken rib kept irritating my lungs. I did the best I could yet the disaster was still strong. The recovered eyes of Shin Yoosung were once again turning black. In any case, this Disaster of Floods seemed stronger than the original novel. The disaster Shin Yoosung looked at me with anxious eyes. 「 It isn't enough. 」
She couldn't commit suicide. The intermediate dokkaebi wouldn't allow her to die that way. This was the limit that she could penalize herself. I was also at my limit in a different way. 「 How are you going to stop me? 」 "Don't worry. They'll come soon. The person who will stop you." From the beginning, I had no intention of killing Shin Yoosung with my own hands. It was impossible for Yoo Joonghyuk in his current state. There was still one person remaining who could kill her. The moment Shin Yoosung's mouth was about to open, the ground around her exploded. There was the distant roar of artillery. A woman dressed in a blue prison uniform appeared from the north. The monsters split apart and troops advanced to this side. A woman in a mask stood in the middle and commanded the army. The King of Wanderers. I thought she had gone somewhere but she had been taking care of the monsters as she advanced from the north. However, they weren't the one I was waiting for. I looked at a person who was running this way. The woman turned this way and asked, "Sorry, am I late?" "Just a bit late." "Stop pretending. Aren't you still alive?" The Judge of Destruction. 10 days later, Jung Heewon was much more restrained than I knew. She lightly patted my
shoulders and moved. "Leave it to me and take a break." A red aura rose as she activated Hour of Judgement. It was much more powerful than the skill I stole. Jung Heewon was the last card I had left. If this failed… Had I done enough damage to Shin Yoosung? Would Jung Heewon finish the job well? "What are you so worried about?" Jung Heewon asked with a smile. Confidence that was different than usual filled her voice. It wasn't just Judgment Time that she believed in. [The constellation 'Scribe of Heaven' is talking to himself.] [The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' shows hostility towards Jung Heewon's sponsor.] That reminded me, Jung Heewon had a sponsor. Who had she chosen? Shin Yoosung watched Jung Heewon with shaky eyes. 「 You… 」 "I roughly know the situation. My sponsor was making a lot of noise along the way." Jung Heewon faced Shin Yoosung with sad eyes. "Thus, there is no need to worry." Jung Heewon lightly swept her sword in front of her. Flames started to rise from the places her hands touched. It was early in the morning. On a night where the darkness of Seoul was the darkest, Jung Heewon's blade burned. The flames on the blade were brighter than any flames I had seen. It was the holy white flames of a stigma that would punish all evil.
[Hell Flames Ignition.] I naturally knew this stigma very well. I remembered the description of the stigma from Ways of Survival. In some cases, it was one of the greatest stigmas of Ways of Survival and boasted powerful destructive power comparable to the stigma of The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. Hell Flames Ignition was the stigma of Demon-like Judge of Fire. Jung Heewon laughed coldly. "I will finish this damn scenario." The archangel Uriel chose Jung Heewon as an incarnation.
Chapter 108: Ep. 21 – Things That Can't Be Changed, VI Jung Heewon ran forward. Her muscles were strengthened by Judgment Time to the limit and the Demon Slaying buff gave her a sharp edge. Along with Uriel's Hell Flames Ignition, her combat power was enhanced to the most ideal form. The blazing flames of judgment. They weren't judging Shin Yoosung. Even so, it was Shin Yoosung who would receive the flames. [The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' is watching the battlefield with sad eyes.] Jung Heewon's blade declared the opening. [The character 'Jung Heewon' has used Hell Flames Ignition Lv. 1.]
The stigma was only level one but the hell flames burned through Shin Yoosung's ether storm. The power of a great demon, the Beast King's Breath poured out but Jung Heewon didn't care. She just grasped her sword as firmly as possible and drew a line connecting the sky and earth. The Beast King's Breath turned to smoke as soon as it met Hell Flames Ignition. Someone muttered, "Oh my god, what is that?" Hell Flames Ignition was a stigma that could evaporate the sea of a planet when it reached the final level. When the 'Messiah' appeared in the original novel, it was Uriel who opened the way in preparation for him. The archangel feared by all demons, the great demons' enemy that was closest to a great demon. Shin Yoosung nodded as she saw Jung Heewon rushing through the flames. 「 I see. Uriel. You were waiting for this. 」 The disaster didn't back down in the presence of the terrible archangel. 「 It is enough to make an ending. 」 No, she looked rather relaxed. It was as if she had finally fulfilled her duty. The ether wrapped around Shin Yoosung's fist and the flames that clung to Jung Heewon's blade collided. Shin Yoosung stumbled and Jung Heewon pushed forward without missing this gap. No matter how good the overlapped skills, the powerful buffs would have a short duration.
Jung Heewon was well aware of this and accelerated her attacks. The surrounding land was affected by the holy flames. Shin Yoosung persisted despite being long exhausted. She was like a seasoned actor playing the last performance of her life as she tried her best to live. [Many constellations are excited about your design.] The constellations that came over from Dokgak's channel were excited. [15,000 coins have been sponsored.] The hateful donations of the constellations rose sharply. Affection and hatred were just a moment of entertainment for the constellations. Unfortunately, the story that lasted a moment for them was a life for humans. [Constellations of the Korean Peninsula are looking at you sadly.] In front of the many watchers, I drew the ending of this scenario by myself. [The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is focused on your choice.] In the meantime, Jung Heewon had turned the Beast King's Sensitivity into rags and the flames of Hell Flames Ignition were gradually burning Shin Yoosung. Injuries were also piling up on Jung Heewon's body. It was a close match but victory wasn't on the side of the exhausted Shin Yoosung. Jung Heewon ignored all defenses and plunged through the ether storm, stabbing her sword into Shin Yoosung's belly.
A bright blaze of flames surrounded Shin Yoosung's body. The holy flames burned at the energy of the great demon in her body. The black aura coming from her turned to smoke. Blood splattered from the place where the sword was pulled out. Shin Yoosung looked down at her blood like it was a prop on a stage. It was finally settled. I suddenly saw the collapsed King Masswood and Heavy Metal Bean. The Monster Gate had closed and the fight against the monsters was ending. I approached Shin Yoosung. Control of her flesh had come back but her body wasn't normal. Shin Yoosung looked down at her body and stated. 「 …I am dying now. 」 In normal cases, the Beast Lord wouldn't die from these wounds. The Beast King's Vitality was as good as Yoo Joonghyuk's Recovery. Unfortunately, she was hit by Hell Flames Ignition. The flames of hell were deeply embedded in her body, burning her vitality to extinguish all evil. Uriel's stigma was a fire that never burned out until all the evil was gone. [The exclusive skill, 'Fourth Wall' is shaking!] [Due to excessive immersion, stage 2 of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint will always be activated.] The fire was inside her body and Shin Yoosung would never survive. Shin Yoosung watched me and smiled weakly. "I'm glad to be here during this round of regression. It was good to hear Captain say those words."
「 It hurts. I'm going to disappear like this. 」 "Now I can die in peace. Something really might change." 「 I don't want to die… 」 The omniscience was a curse. Knowing someone's heart meant always deceiving someone. She smiled and stared up at the air. There was an intermediate dokkaebi with a stiff expression. "I'm going to die now. Isn't it okay as a drama? This was a great scenario." [Some constellations are nodding.] [Some constellations are complaining.] The intermediate dokkaebi was silent. Well, he hadn't expected this. The scenario was completed but it wasn't as he intended. Now he would pay for what he intended. I looked back and saw Yoo Joonghyuk approaching. He asked, "Is she going to die?" "…Perhaps." "You must be lacking hatred." This bastard was really… Yoo Joonghyuk pulled out his sword. I was about to stop him from trying to kill Shin Yoosung when his Splitting the Sky Sword stopped. The cold blade was supporting Shin Yoosung's head. Shin Yoosung said, "Hold on until the end. I will die soon Captain." Shin Yoosung's thoughts flowed into my ears.
「 There is something I want to hear from you. 」 「 Just once. 」 「 I wish to hear it just once. 」 They were words that could never be said. Yoo Joonghyuk couldn't hear these words and spoke nonchalantly. "I have something to ask." "What is it?" I felt miserable as I saw the anticipation on Shin Yoosung's face. It was because I knew her expectations would never be rewarded. "Who is the great demon that helped you cross over to this world?" She stared blankly at Yoo Joonghyuk for a moment before laughing. "…Captain is the captain to the end." 「 You don't change. 」 "Tell me." "Have you heard of the 'Great Demon of the Horizon'?" 「 That is why I admired you. 」 "I know the name." "If Captain's luck is bad, you will meet him soon. However, never fight him. It is almost impossible for Captain to kill him…" 「 For a long time, a really long time… 」
Her earnest sincerity didn't reach its target and I struggled. I wanted to say something. This stupid Yoo Joonghyuk, who couldn't hear the vivid voice in front of him. The moment I opened my mouth, Shin Yoosung's hand grabbed me. Yoo Joonghyuk kept speaking. "I will remember." Yoo Joonghyuk turned around at these words. Then Yoo Joonghyuk's inner thoughts were conveyed to me. 「 I will get revenge for you. 」 I trembled at the sadness in these words. I looked down at disaster Shin Yoosung. I see. This person was already aware of it. She didn't need to hear it to already know. Something was pouring down from Shin Yoosung's eyes. For the first time, I thought that Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint might not be omniscient. 「 Goodbye, Captain. 」 「 Good job. 」 「 I'll leave it to you. 」 「 Rest. 」 Only a few stray sentences were left as I stared at the two people. Their thoughts had definitely reached each other. I clearly read this story. Then Shin Yoosung started to scatter into ashes. 「 Pretty… 」 The young Shin Yoosung approached me and held onto me. What did she feel when she saw her future self disappearing?
No matter how many books I read, there were some emotions I couldn't reach. The disaster Shin Yoosung smiled at me and the young Shin Yoosung. 「 …I'm envious. 」 The lower body of the disaster Shin Yoosung had almost disappeared. The speed of her destruction was accelerating. [The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' has closed her eyes.] [The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is sighing.] As the constellations watched her, I kneeled and grabbed the hand of the disaster Shin Yoosung. Shin Yoosung was surprised by my unexpected behaviour and looked at me. I invoked Beast King's Sensitivity with my last remaining magic power. It was to pass on a gift to her. The mysterious senses of the beast kings touched and for a short moment, Shin Yoosung's soul was connected to mine. It was a sensibility that only beasts shared. The passing wind whispered something. It was a story that neither the constellations or dokkaebi could hear. The dying Shin Yoosung's eyes widened like she couldn't believe it. 「 …Are you serious? Really? 」 Fortunately, the message was properly delivered. Her chest had already turned to ashes and now she had no voice left. 「 Why… 」
Tears slowly filled her eyes. She tried to tell me something but the cold wind stopped her. The connected films of two worlds were breaking again. The pieces that she was made of turned to ashes and scattered. Her eyes, nose and mouth. Her voice. The person who lived over one thousand years scattered into pure white ashes like snow. The ashes like a trail as it disappeared into the sky. It was like a distant journey or even a dance. I looked up at the faint traces drifting in the air. I couldn't believe it was real and the young Shin Yoosung held onto me tightly. "Did she really die?" I steadied my heart. "Can't you change it? Really?" Then she nodded. "Ahhh. Ah…" Lee Gilyoung grabbed my sleeve and wiped his eyes with it. Yoo Sangah was crying and I didn't know why but Lee Hyunsung was also tearful. Yoo Joonghyuk didn't cry while only Lee Jihye didn't know the exact situation. "…Why is everyone crying? I am also sad." My forehead was cold and sleet was falling from the misty sky. There was no snow or rain. The cold sensation relieved the people. It was funny. Humans felt most alive when they confirmed the death of another. "Ah…"
The people of Seoul Dome collapsed once their tension disappeared. There were people laughing, crying or feeling angry. The donations of the constellation flowed here and there. The responses were different but there was one thing they all agreed on. The 'Disaster of Floods' Shin Yoosung had died. There was a frozen intermediate dokkaebi staring up at the sky. Bihyung, who had been watching silently, finally opened his mouth. [Intermediate dokkaebi. The scenario has ended.] [ How? This… ] [If you don't do it then I will end it.] A moment later, a message was heard. [The fifth main scenario is activated!] [The compensation settlement is being prepared.] Finally, the scenario declared her death. The future Shin Yoosung had died and the disaster was over. This was the conclusion of the fifth scenario. Everyone thought so and believed so. . . .
To be exact, everyone except me had to believe this. From beginning to end, everything had to be a perfect drama. It was a drama that declared things couldn't be changed. A tragedy that followed the constellations and scenario. This was the only way for the 41st regression Shin Yoosung to escape from the damn scenario. At this moment, the young Shin Yoosung's hand heated up. "I will kill…" The girl's eyes were fixed on the intermediate dokkaebi floating in the air. "That dokkaebi, I'll kill him." I was trying to restrain her when sparks flew in the air. The sky was crumbling and a portal was opening. Two white dokkaebis emerged from the portal. The low-grade dokkaebis found the two dokkaebis wearing white armour and backed away at once. It was natural. These dokkaebis were people that all dokkaebis hoped to never meet. The bureau. They were the dokkaebis of the Executive Branch, responsible for investigating the 'probability' in scenarios. The two dokkaebis had a fearsome atmosphere as they approached the intermediate dokkaebi and arrested him. [ …Executives. What are you doing?] An executive dokkaebi declared to the shocked intermediate dokkaebi. [Intermediate dokkaebi 'Paul'. You shall be arrested for violating the Star Stream regulations.]
