⸢"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 ■■ is leaning towards ⸢eternity⸥ . ]

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