⸢"It'll stop the time of this place, and Earth will be sealed along with the Apocalypse Dragon . Frozen forever in the 95th scenario . "⸥

⸢"And that is the way you can kill Yu Jung-Hyeok . "⸥

It was the method of sealing Yu Jung-Hyeok inside the perpetuity of time and stopping his regressions .

I reflexively looked at the 'Secretive Plotter' . I wanted to tell him that now would be a good time to run . Even if it was him, he'd not be able to escape from being sealed in that thing .

However, why are you . . . . smiling?

[Constellation, 'Secretive Plotter', is looking at his own ■■ . ]

He was strong enough to survive 1863 lifetimes . But because of that, he was also exhausted enough to crumble at any given moment .

The eternal slumber . In a certain way, that was what he had been wis.h.i.+ng for his entire life .

- H-hang on!! Uriel! Please stop!

My words prompted Uriel to look in my direction for the first time .

She seemed to be surprised by the fact that an insignificant being had called out her true name, and opened her mouth to speak .

[[Who is this soul form? Is it an existence from this world-line?]]

I wasn't sure what to say here .

Before I could, though, the 'Secretive Plotter' seized the initiative first . [[He's a n.o.body . Let him go . ]]

For a moment there, he was looking straight at me . Quite unlike his usual self, his eyes were displaying clear emotions .

He genuinely wished for me to make my escape from here .

However, the situation remained grim – the portal was being shut forcibly by Uriel .

She alternated her gaze filled with the 'Secretive Plotter' and me, her eyes remaining unreadable, before opening her mouth again .

[[Even after you ruined your own turn and messed up someone else's world-line, you still have something you wish to protect?]]

Her power extended out in an instant and captured me . This might be the worst possible situation .

[[Very well . I shall seal this b.a.s.t.a.r.d away with you . Enjoy your eternal slumber alongside your comrade, then . ]]

- H-hang on a minute! Shouldn't you be listening to my side of the story, too?!

Uriel glared at me as if I was speaking of nonsense .

I didn't back down and shouted back .

- I do understand where you are coming from . I know how wronged you feel after your world-line got distorted, and I get how angry you are . However, this is wrong . This isn't your world-line . What you're trying to do is exactly the same as the one you hate, the 'Secretive Plotter'!

As I urgently made my case, I began sensing this stinging pain on my forehead . My head with no actual physical form was hurting right now . The sensation from the constrictive headband was getting stronger .

- Why don't we stop this? I mean, it's already not enough to pool our strengths together to destroy the , so why should we fight each other like this? Don't you know who the real enemy is? Don't you know where the true cause of all this tragedy . . . . .

[[You want to destroy the ? Why do you wish to do something like that?]]

Now that was an unexpected question .

- That's because, the world of the is . . . .

[[If the disappears, the whole universe will fall into chaos . ]]

At that moment, a corner of my chest grew icy cold .

I secretly believed that all my companions wished to witness the same Conclusion as each other . However . . . . what if that wasn't the case?

After Yu Jung-Hyeok's death, the 999th turn's companions would have carried on to reach the Final Scenario, and cleared it .

What was the end of the world they had reached after all of that?

Advertis.e.m.e.nt[[Such a world-line must never be created . That is the way of Evil . ]]

Along with her declaration, her Status began to tighten around me .

- . . . . . In that case, it can't be helped . We can only fight, then .

[[Fight? A creature without an Incarnation Body will . . . ?]]

- I'm not the one who'll fight you .

I looked up at the sky and smirked back at her .

- My comrades will .

Powerful sparks exploded in front of my eyes . My head got squeezed tightly as if it'd shatter into pieces, and my vision fell apart . Something was getting closer .

⸢Prajna . . . . DokJa . . . . . Don't-try . . . . stay-put-sutra . . . . . ⸥

… . Here they come .

[Baaht!]

Accompanied by Biyu's cry, a new portal opened up in the mid-air . Almost right away, the Black Flame Dragon's pitch-black Breath poured out . Uriel quickly discarded me and retreated away from that powerful rush of hot flames .

At the same time, someone s.n.a.t.c.hed away my soul form and flew up .

"Every-freaking-where you go, seriously man . . . . . And why do you look like this now?"

It was Han Su-Yeong .

"I guess only the constrictive headband wasn't enough . "

And then, Yu Sang-Ah .

She was carrying my Incarnation Body on her back, currently shackled by the headband . She seemed to have correctly guessed what my current condition was .

[Currently, the binding force of the 'Existence Pledge' is in a weakened state . ]

I didn't hesitate and jumped back into my body . My vision crumbled again for a bit, and the sensations from my limbs returned . Although my Incarnation Body was not okay, it was still better than not having one .

I saw Uriel activating [h.e.l.lfire] through my blurry vision .

Han Su-Yeong next to me had her eyes open up wide . "H-hey, what the heck is this . . . . ?!"

"No time to explain . We've got to get out of here, p.r.o.nto . "

Both Han Su-Yeong and 'Sakyamuni's Successor', Yu Sang-Ah, were powerful beings . Unfortunately, our enemy this time was simply too strong . With only these two . . . . .

Kwaaaaaaah!!

As if waiting for that moment, [h.e.l.lfire]'s flames pounced on my companions .

"G.o.ddammit!!"

The waves of incredible heat that couldn't be avoided no matter where you escaped to – its Status was so humongous that Han Su-Yeong's [Black Flame] alone wasn't enough to fight back . It was then, a powerful burst of reddish flames exploded from the same portal Han Su-Yeong had used . It had the exact same colouring as our enemy's flames . Two powerful sources of heat clashed and generated a violent storm of fire .

[What the ■ck? Which mother■cker is it?!]

A certain someone coughed her lungs out and appeared from thick, choking flames . An Archangel waved away the smoke with one hand and revealed herself .

Wearing a black dress and kitted out in a golden anklet, an Archangel I was intimately familiar with was standing there, soot on her cheeks and all .

[Ng?? Which son of a bi■ dares to hurt my Kim Dok . . . . ]

Uriel s.h.i.+fted her gaze beyond the [h.e.l.lfire] and soon afterwards, her expression became dazed . Then her jaw slackened as she muttered out . [I . . . . am the bi■?]

… . I didn't expect her to be a part of the rescue team . The situation had gotten more complicated this way . Of all things, the two Uriels had to run into each other here .

[[… . And you are?]]

It seemed that the Outer G.o.d Uriel was just as stunned by this .

[[I see . You are this world-line's . . . . ]]

The moment these two Uriels looked at each other, violent sparks exploded in the air .

It was rather obvious that our side was still in an overwhelmingly disadvantageous position . Our Uriel was strong, sure, but that Uriel was someone who had witnessed the end of a world-line .

If we don't find an opening quickly and escape, then . . . . .

Tsu-chuchuchut!!

An unexpected event happened next .

[ is intrigued by the encounter of these two beings . ]

['Disconnected Film Theory' is activating!]

When two Fables met and intertwined with each other in the air, a gigantic backflow of memories occurred .

⸢[Get up, Yu Jung-Hyeok! Hurry!]⸥

Memories from the 999th regression turn were coming through .

Uriel's eyes opened wider at this sudden intrusion of foreign memories . [W-what's this? What's going on?]

Waves of unfamiliar memories were flooding us . Uriel from the 999th turn was fighting with her back pressed against Yu Jung-Hyeok's . Now that was a fine display of what being comrade-in-arms looked like .

Our Uriel couldn't get a hold of herself from the rush of memories flooding in and staggered unsteadily .

That d.a.m.n theory, again it's . . . . Before I could complete my train of thought, though, I realised that the situation wasn't as bad as I expected . Because, the exchange of Fables via that theory went both ways . The evidence of that was the 999th turn's Uriel, who not only staggered about, but she actually even plopped down on the ground .

⸢[Kim Dok-Ja! Over here! Sit next to me!]⸥

Definitely .

⸢9158FOREVER⸥

⸢[One's ID shouldn't be too eye-catching, so . . . . Right . Let me go with uri9158 . . . . Alright, it's not so obvious now . ]⸥

⸢[ . . . . 'Squid Kim Dok-Ja's Leg' will be given away as a s-special bonus??]⸥

And there were a few Fables that might shock their viewers mixed in among them, too .

[[T-this, this, what is . . . . ??]]

999th turn's Uriel was frowning deeply as if she was in pain . Han Su-Yeong didn't miss that opening and, while supporting our Uriel, shouted out . "I don't know what's going on here, but this is good . Let's bounce outta here . I mean, she looks seriously strong even at a glance, right?"

Her judgement was definitely correct . However, she forgot one small detail .

"Hang on . Let's take him with us, too . "

I pointed at the 'Secretive Plotter' sagging on the ground .

Perhaps the memories of this world-line proved to be too shocking for her, the sealing sphere Uriel had been constructing had become quite badly tattered .

Han Su-Yeong spoke in pure disbelief . "Are you stupid? Why should we take him with us?!"

"We need to bring him with us . Only then will we reach the correct 'Conclusion' . "

"What bulls.h.i.+t are you . . . . . "

Indeed, it was a bulls.h.i.+t-like utterance . I was being obstinate, and my actions didn't make much sense . Even then, I continued to speak my piece . "That guy must not die here . He too has the right to see the Conclusion . "

⸢All the worlds were simply blaming 'Yu Jung-Hyeok' . ⸥

Uriel from the 999th turn, everyone from that world-line, too – as the consequence of spending his entire life to reach his own 'Conclusion', he had to become the enemy of every world-line .

⸢Out of the 1863 regression turns, was there any turn where he got to be happy, at least once?⸥

When I regained my wits, I was already sprinting forward .

999th turn Uriel was slowly regaining her own wits too, and I saw her trying to reignite the [h.e.l.lfire] .

Han Su-Yeong shouted out . "You crazy fool!! We don't have the time!!"

I gave it my all to activate the [Way of the Wind] . Flames from [h.e.l.lfire] began flooding in once more . These dancing flames in the air somehow looked like ancient letters to me .

- … . Author-nim . Wouldn't it be okay, just one time?

I couldn't quite remember how old this memory was .

- I mean, there are so many regression turns, so, just once wouldn't . . . .

… . Did I really say something like that? My memories weren't clear enough . However, just like back then, when all I could do was to type on the keyboard and press the s.p.a.ce bar, I could only run forward like crazy right in this moment .

- Isn't it okay for him to be happy?

Maybe, that was me whining to a G.o.d responsible for creating this world .

- It seems that you weren't happy with what I have written .

Then, the 'G.o.d' replied .

- In that case, what kind of a conclusion would you like to see, Dok-Jnim? Which conclusion would be a happy ending for the protagonist?

What did I say back then? I tried, but couldn't remember at all . And even now, I couldn't be sure of what the right answer was . I didn't have the right to speak about someone else's happiness, after all .

However, even if it was someone like me who had no right, there was this one thing I still understood .

⸢This is not a happy ending . ⸥

The Secretive Plotter's body was getting sucked into the encroaching heat from the [h.e.l.lfire] . With no time to spare, I managed to grab hold of his wrist, and then, began running in the opposite direction .

Han Su-Yeong's complexion grew pale and she hurriedly summoned the [X-grade Ferrarghini] . Meanwhile, Yu Sang-Ah shouted out . "Dok-Jssi! Faster!"

[[You can't!]]

I evaded the rus.h.i.+ng flames and placed the Secretive Plotter on my back . The bottom of my feet was growing insanely hot now . I ran with all my might to escape from that crazy heat .

"Argh, screw this s.h.i.+t . . . . . I don't care anymore! Hurry up and get in!"

Han Su-Yeong reached out to me, and I barely managed to jump inside the vehicle . I saw Uriel in the backseat, s.h.i.+vering away . Almost at the same time, a tsunami wave of reddish flames pounced on us .

[[Stop!!]]

I inwardly prayed towards the 'Ma.s.s Production-type Maker' . I prayed that this vehicle's performance wasn't 'ma.s.s-production' in the slightest .

[Constellation, 'Ma.s.s Production-type Maker', is grinning brightly . ]

With an explosive turn of speed, the [X-grade Ferrarghini] accelerated forward . At the same time, Biyu opened a portal, and we jumped into this dimensional pa.s.sageway right away .

The horrifying howl made by 999th turn's Uriel chased us from behind . I was scared that she was actually chasing us down . Even if we managed to escape back to Earth unscathed like this, if that Uriel managed to follow us and went on a rampage . . . . .

Tsu-chuchuchuchut!

The 999th turn's Uriel stopped giving chase as the sparks crazily whipped about . While shooting me a terrifying glare, no less .

[ is carefully observing the 'Living Flame' . ]

It seemed that she couldn't use this portal . A powerful storm of Probability's aftermath was holding her back . But that made sense . A being possessing such a might actually enjoyed less freedom in the , after all .

However, there was this one thing that kept nagging me . If she was that restrained, how could she appear in the 'N'Gai's Forest' with such good timing?

It was as if someone had instigated this whole thing .

… . . Instigating it?

[Great Dokkaebi, 'Heoju', is keeping a close eye on your whereabouts . ]

At that moment, a faint little theory entered my head . What if that Uriel's appearance was not a coincidence?

[Great Dokkaebi, 'Heoche', is keeping a close eye on your whereabouts . ]

[Great Dokkaebi, 'Baram', is keeping a close eye on your whereabouts . ]

What if someone within the wanted it to happen, and they summoned her to this world-line?

There was almost no organisation in this world capable of moving that much Probability .

[, is keeping a close eye on your whereabouts . ]

The N'Gai's Forest could be seen through the vehicle's windows . 'Outer G.o.ds' that came from the doomed world-lines were now being extinguished .

Citizens of a small kingdom were saying their goodbyes to their king .

[SurviveSurviveSurviveSurviveSurvive]

There was more than one Outer G.o.d king .

Just like how the 999th turn's Uriel had shown up here, other Kings would undoubtedly appear, too . Surely, the ones trying to interfere with the Conclusion I wanted to see would call them to this world .

[ is looking at you . ]

I raised my head to find the world that I need to fight looking at me .

This would be a very tough and arduous fight .

Han Su-Yeong looked at me through the rearview mirror and grumbled about something . Yu Sang-Ah sitting in the front pa.s.senger's seat was looking at me . I quietly nodded my head and gazed at the unconscious 'Secretive Plotter' and the still-dazed Uriel .

Quite likely, no one in this universe would stand on our side .

I saw the portal's exit in the distance .

[Your choice has left a profound impact on the ■■ . ]

[Your ■■ is leaning towards ⸢eternity⸥ . ]

And so, the time to prepare for the final pages of the world had arrived .
