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 Uriels 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 God.]

[<Star Stream> is deciphering whether to allow the targets 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, Goryeos 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.]

[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 shouldve been impossible?

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

[<Bureau> is paying attention to the NGais Forest.]

The [Flames of Retribution] moved in Uriels 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 hairs 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 novels 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 Id properly block such an attack without an Incarnation Body. Besides, to block an attack like that, youd 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 meteors 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 wasnt 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 Plotters [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 NGais 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 wouldnt help my situation at all. Because, it didnt 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 turns 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 Conclusions doorstep.

Uriel began speaking again. [[Oh, I ask you, the Outer God. I hope that you havent forgotten about the events of the 999th turn.]]

[[.I do remember.]]

[[Thats 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, were almost there. We just have to go a little bit further, you know!

That was Yi Ji-Hyes voice.

Words began telling their story.

Jung-Hyeok-ssi, just hold on for a little longer. Were almost there!

999th turns 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.]

Thats right. Uriel was also accompanying them in the 999th turn.

She was Yu Jung-Hyeoks 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 wasnt all due purely to luck.

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

The reason why I didnt 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-Hyeoks life.

The original novel didnt specify who that Outer God was. But it was a creature that spent its own Probability to grant the 999th turns 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 thats 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 turns Yu Jung-Hyeok died.

Author-nim. This cant be the end, can it? But, isnt Jung-Hyeok-ee just too pitiful to end up like this?

999th turns 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.

Cant 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 days 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 <Star Stream>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 didnt work out that way.

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

The Plotters 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 couldnt tell what he was thinking of.

I quickly spoke to him.

The current you cant stop that Uriel. However, if my companions and I help out..

The Plotter shifted his gaze over to me. [[Do you understand what youre 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 elses life is wrong.

The <Star Stream> was wrong. Yu Jung-Hyeoks regressions were wrong, and the stories the scenarios created were unfair.

Thats why I wont sit still. Ill witness the Conclusion. You say I shouldnt, but Ill see it regardless. Ill 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.

.Ill kill that guy. Ill end your Most Ancient Dream.

Uriels Status was growing even stronger.

The expansive hall began crumbling down. Like a world breaking apart, the NGais 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-Hyeoks 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 Plotters memories were now permeating into me memories that I didnt 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!

[[Im not trying to leave this worlds 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. Ill 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. Uriels 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 hadnt done in a long time, regressing, would start again. Hed wake up in the 1864th turns subway once more, and go on to create yet another horrifying world-line.

Kim Dok-Ja thought to himself. I cant 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 Plotters neck. Black light pouring out from her hand stopped the Fables 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 didnt I think of it before? Uriel was now an Outer God, too. So she should obviously be aware of the Plotters, or Yu Jung-Hyeoks, ability by now. She should know that hed 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.]]
