#chapter 488

I need therapy

-------------------------------------------------------

Jeong Hui-Won’s palm left a deep imprint on the tightly-held Outer God’s skin. She stared at that imprint for a very long time, then slowly raised her head, her hand grasping the sword tightly.

And when she did, a certain message resounded out within her ears.

[Completion of the Incarnation ‘Jeong Hui-Won’s’ ■■ is imminent!]

Just like holding the hand tightly, she strengthened her grip on the sword.

[Your ■■ is ‘Salvation’.]

• • •

[Constellation, ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’, is proud of his Incarnation.]

Han Su-Yeong smirked. “Let’s not end the scenario, forever.”

[Incarnation Han Su-Yeong’s ■■ is ‘Neverending Story’.]

• • •

(This sentence was on chapter 490) Bihyung learned about ‘scenario’ from Kim Dok-Ja.

...

⸢There is no story where no one was sacrificed.⸥

To protect the story, to guard the Probability, and to become the ‘One Single Fable’ reaching the ⸢Final Wall⸥, this action had to be performed.

⸢Dokkaebi Bihyung had finally decided on his full stop.⸥

The ‘Pah-su-sut’ noise of something being pierced could be heard next.

He looked back and for a second there, he thought he saw Kim Dok-Ja’s face.

[Your ■■ is ‘sacrifice’.]

• • •

“Not one Constellation can be left alive. Even if that includes you.”

While listening to her, I recalled an ancient text from the ‘Ways of Survival’.

⸢Anna Croft’s ■■ is ‘Perfect Night’.⸥

A world of darkness where not one starlight shined – Anna Croft wished for humanity to live freely again under that darkness. If it was the world she dreamed of, then my companions should be able to survive as well. I felt slightly lonely as I opened my mouth again.

• • •

[Oh, my dear Constellations. I apologise, but I simply must see this stage.]

And when all of his Coins were injected into the Probability in the air, its powerful storm began enveloping the entirety of the ark. Meanwhile, the Mass Production-type Maker’s body suddenly aged at a visible rate.

[Constellation, ‘Mass Production-type Maker’s’ ■■ is ‘Depletion’.]

[The deficient Probability has been satisfied!]

[Great Fable, ‘Season of Light and Darkness’, is being completely recreated on this stage!]

• • •

[Constellation, ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’, has reached his ■■!]

What about this world-line, though?

Did he finally manage to find his ■■ within this empty universe?

[Constellation, ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’s’ ■■ is ‘Pureness’!]

The ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ looked at me and smiled.

His child-like eyes were now dyeing the world in the night of apocalypse as if he was satisfied by the role he had found.

• • •

Unlike Anna Croft, her subordinates ‘Zarathustras’ didn’t possess all that many Fables connected to <Kim Dok-Ja Company>. They looked at me with sorrowful eyes for a little while, then silently moved out of the way and created a path.

[Incarnation, ‘Selena Kim’ has accepted her ■■.]

[Incarnation Selena Kim’s ■■ is ‘Unreachable Dream’.]

– Please, take care of Anna.

• • •

Surya’s entire body as he sat in the engine room glowed brightly like a white-hot incandescent sun. Fables dripped out from the wounds visible all over his body. Maybe, he too had already paid a hefty price to reach this place.

[Constellation Supreme God of Light’s ■■ is ‘Final Engineer’.]

• • •

[Constellation, ‘Secretive Plotter’ has reached his ■■.]

At the same time as the ‘Secretive Plotter’ gave his signal, my companions and I got sucked into the train that arrived behind us.

“This place is the epilogue of that story.”

The characters that saved my childhood were now disappearing beyond the door.

Just like the 1863rd turn’s Yu Jung-Hyeok who killed himself to cross over to the new world-line, they were now stepping into a world that I didn’t know.

Within the rays of light, I saw Yu Jung-Hyeok’s faint smile.

He looked… liberated.

[Constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’s’ ■■ is ‘Most Ancient Dream’.]

• • •

⸢And everyone lived happily ever after.⸥

I always hated that phrase.

However, the current me dearly wished for that phrase to become true.

[Constellation, ‘Demon King of Salvation’ has reached his ■■.]

[You have become the ‘Most Ancient Dream’.]

The disappearing lights in the distance resembled the Constellations that still remembered me.

And with that, my endless voyage got underway.
