Chapter 408

[To make be responsible for the Probability needed for summoning . . . . ]

"I'm still at an age where I'd like to rely on my parents, you see . "

[I heard that youths of the Korean Peninsula become independent early in their lives, but I guess I was wrong . ]

I recalled the day I left the relatives' place for lodging in a hostel . I was seventeen back then .

I shrugged my shoulders and smiled . "Well, a young man like myself is needed to keep the balance, you know . "

[Constellation, 'Queen of the Darkest Spring', has incarnated into the scenario!]

Abruptly, a corner of my heart began tingling just a little . I ended up remembering the empty spots reserved for my parents during school events, back when I was still a student .

I always wondered how my friends felt back then . What did it feel like, having someone fill up those spots, having someone who'd come to you when you called out to them?

[Constellation, 'Queen of the Darkest Spring', has unleashed her Status!]

And now, I thought I could finally understand what they felt back then .

Persephone stood beside me and while looking at Hades blocking the intense wave of heat, spoke . [But, we agreed that it's my turn to ride Pluto this time . . . him and his short fuse . ]

The heat blocked by Hades spread out like ashes in the air . Perhaps realising that a powerful opponent had appeared, the Apocalypse Dragon strengthened its momentum as well .

Kuwaaaaah-!!

Pluto at the far front was getting slowly pushed back as it continued to deal with the intense heat . That made sense, though; Hades was yet to fully unleash his Status .

[Constellation, 'Father of the Rich Night', is wobbling as he looks back at his wife . ]

[I told you that it'd be not possible with you alone, didn't I?]

[Constellation, 'Father of the Rich Night', is looking at his wife with an unfortunate expression . ]

Judging from the unfolding situation, I could more or less tell what was going on here . On the armour of Pluto, with Hades inside, Fables were wiggling about and going on a rampage .

[Fable, 'Listening to One's Wife Would get you Tteok Even When You're Asleep' has begun its storytelling!]

Persephone sighed grandly and raised her hands up as if to conduct a concert . And right afterwards, small, musical-note-like objects began floating up from the tips of her fingers .

Like the introduction of a cla.s.sical piece, the Fable started opening up .

[Constellation, 'Queen of the Darkest Spring', is mobilising 's Probability!]

Hades wasn't the only ruler of . Indeed, Persephone was not 'Queen Consort', but the 'Queen Regnant' . Meaning, these two possessed an equal amount of shares of .

Hades's attributes were darkness and fire . The guardian of 's night and h.e.l.l was finally rousing up his true Status .

[Constellation, 'Father of the Rich Night', is unleas.h.i.+ng his Status!]

For a moment there, an incredible impact force akin to my entire body being smacked around overwhelmed me . I wobbled about, my vision dizzily shaking around, but still, I raised my head to see Pluto standing up there like an incarnation of darkness and fire .

[Final Scenario's Constellations are very dissatisfied!]

[Final Scenario's Constellations are keeping a wary eye on 'Father of the Rich Night'!]

[Final Scenario's Constellations are complaining about 's interference!]

[A high number of Constellations are impressed by the partic.i.p.ation of 'Father of the Rich Night'!]

Kwkwakwakwakwa!

Agni from was dead, while the Constellations tasked with dealing with fire from both for visiting .

[Power of 'Fruit of Good and Evil' is wiggling inside you . ]

But then, I was both a Constellation and a Demon King, an existence that couldn't be categorised as either .

A Demon King who had consumed the 'Fruit of Good and Evil' .

[It should be possible with you . ]

I nodded my head .

The nature of 'Chaos' was disorder . If it was me who went against the order of both, it'd be possible to go up against the power of Chaos, too .

It was then, someone grasped my shoulder .

"I can also do this . "

"Hui-Won-ssi?"

I saw the Ring of Chaos within Jeong Hui-Won's eyes . Her hair, now bleached pure white, slowly danced upwards under the mysterious and ominous aura .

I instantly realised what she had awakened as .

"Very well . Let's give it a shot . "

I then looked up into the sky .

Actually, I had been searching for a certain Constellation's presence in the night sky for a while now, but unfortunately, I couldn't sense it . If that guy helped us out, we'd be able to overcome this somehow . I even had a plan in mind for that, too… .

['Third Phase' is commencing!]

It seemed that it was too late now .

[Demon King, 'King of the Corrupted Angels', is unleas.h.i.+ng his Status!]

[Constellation, 'Saviour of the Corrupted', is unleas.h.i.+ng his Status!]

One existence who possessed two Modifiers – Michael displayed his true power and rushed towards the forefront . Indeed, those Statuses were more than enough to make him feel confident about himself .

[Judgement Field . ]

His speciality that almost wrung me to death in the past began stretching out towards the shockwave of Chaos . It was the wall of judgement, bestowed onto this world through the divine grace .

Kwkwakwakwakwa!!

The so-called invincible Field was easily shattered, however . Forget about defending against the wave, it couldn't even buy one second . Michael screamed loudly as he watched his [Judgement Field] shatter like gla.s.s .

The Calamity of the 89th scenario, the Chaos's shockwave that had far surpa.s.sed that of the original storyline, proceeded to crush Michael's body and utterly disintegrate him .

Yu Jung-Hyeok's voice resounded out from behind me . "Dodge it!!"

It seemed that Yu Jung-Hyeok had realised something was off . This shockwave was definitely on another realm compared to the previous two .

I finished making up my mind and was about to step forward, but then, Jeong Hui-Won stood in my way .

"Hui-Won-ssi . "

"Please shut up . I knew something like this would happen . "

Her back, turned towards me, didn't show any movement – as if she knew what I was trying to do . Yi Hyeon-Seong's giant frame was still dangling on her back . I saw his sleeping face, having fallen into the steel-like slumber in order to protect someone .

I opened my lips again . "Hui-Won-ssi . If someone must risk their life, then . . . . "

"Don't even try it . I'll really go crazy if you do . "

[Fable, 'Demon King of Salvation', has begun its storytelling . ]

[Great Fable, 'Demon World's Spring', has begun its storytelling . ]

As if resonating with her emotions, the two Fables began telling their stories . They were acquired through experiencing similar circ.u.mstances .

[Stigma, 'Sacrifice's Will Lv . 8', is currently active . ]

And this Stigma was acquired by going through similar situations, too . I was aware of how much this Stigma hurt Jeong Hui-Won .

Even then, I still had to say it . "If that wave isn't stopped here, Hyeon-Seong-ssi will die . "

I had to become more callous than anyone .

"There is a way to stop that . If you were me, Hui-Won-ssi, what would you have done?"

"I don't want to hear it, so please!"

Jeong Hui-Won turned around, her eyes red with tears .

"Yes, you do have a way! I know already! You're someone like that, Dok-Jssi! You always have a d.a.m.n, stinking plan that only you know, and when you use it, you'll end up dying!"

"I think you're mistaken about something . I'm not going to die . "

She didn't possess the skill [Lie Detection] .

"Now is a different story compared to in the past . Hui-Won-ssi, you and our other companions have changed, yes? I've chosen to do this because I believe in you . That is why . . . . " I spoke while turning my head away . "Hui-Won-ssi . You must save me later . "

I used the powers of [Way of the Wind] and [Lightning Transformation] to blow her back to the rear .

"Kim Dok-J . . . !!"

The moment I greeted the shockwave rus.h.i.+ng towards my face, I roared out in my true voice with everything I had . [Surya!!]

At the end of my roar, a train rus.h.i.+ng forward from behind picked me up . As it was created in haste, the train looked rather bizarre, what with only its front portion existing .

[Let's go . ]

As I sensed Surya's Status supporting me from behind, the train set off .

[Great Fable, 'Torch that Swallowed the Myth', has begun its storytelling!]

The train used the Great Fable as its fuel to advance forward – past the fragments of Fables and towards the Chaos's shockwave .

Kwdudududuk!!

Accompanied by the impact force akin to my entire body being shattered into pieces, the debris of the train flew about all over the place .

Michael's half-destroyed Incarnation Body trapped within the storm was now looking at me . [You b.a.s.t.a.r.d . . . . !]

I went past him and continued to press forward . It felt as if my consciousness was fading away . [The 4th Wall] continued to issue warning bells, and all the Fables I possessed screamed out in pain .

They were shouting out in one voice that we couldn't withstand this . That we'd all die for sure .

Beyond the shockwave that reverted all existence back to nothingness, I felt the Apocalypse Dragon's gaze land on me .

[You cannot stop this . ]

I felt that gaze and smirked .

You're right . I can't stop you . Well, you're not a mere lifeform that can be killed, but the 'calamity' itself, after all . You're 'something' that far exceeds Constellations and Demon Kings .

There was no way that a lone Constellation could resist against such a Calamity .

However, I knew of another Calamity of this magnitude .

[Constellations of have figured out your scheme and are freaking out!]

[Final Scenario's Constellations are greatly astonished by your plan!]

[All Dokkaebis in the Bureau are looking at the scenario's Probability . . . . ]

A scarcely-believable amount of sparks exploded and went on a frenzy in the air . Simply trying to call out its name caused such a reaction . I let all the Probability the Constellations had gathered explode out into the open s.p.a.ce, and called out the name of a certain creature one more time .

A creature that, even though they knew its true name, no one would dare to invite to their scenario .

[Come! ■■■■■!!]

Beyond the shockwave, 's outer s.p.a.ce could be seen; the storm of aftermaths produced by the misaligned Probability was rus.h.i.+ng in .

The march of the gigantic fog of darkness began erasing the traces of stars and nebulas . I was overcome by shuddering powerful enough to nearly blank my mind as the giant eye on the far, far side of that seemingly-infinite fog fixed its gaze on this side .

I witnessed that thing back in the 73rd Demon World a while ago . Back then, it was merely a clone . It was a different story this time, however .

['Indescribable Distance' is looking down on 'Final Dragon of the Book of Revelation' . ]

The Outer G.o.d born within the Chaos; the greater calamity that brought about the destruction of my Demon World was now approaching the Isle of Reincarnators .
