Omniscient Reader's Perspective

[The hull will now enter the stabilization process. 】

Please be on call

My companions stared out the window blankly as they listened to system messages.

house swept away by tornado

We've entered a whole new world...

Of course, some of them should realize what the hell is going on here.

"Uncle, this, this is 'that', right? The 'Wizard of Oz'?"

Unexpectedly, the first person who asked me was Li Zhizhi.

"Have you heard?"

"An old friend of mine used to love a musical about it"

Li Zhizhi was a little bragging, but her expression suddenly became melancholy.

Zheng Xiyuan noticed this and quickly answered the question.

"By the way, isn't The Wizard of Oz a relatively modern piece of literature?"

"I believe it was created in 1900, if I remember correctly,"

Liu Shangya said.

"As expected, Sister Shang Ya, you really know everything."

Li Zhizhi gave a thumbs up.

Zheng Xiyuan continued.

"But, that doesn't make sense, does it? The world is only about 100 years old, but...I heard from Hyun-sung that 'Master of Steel' is a constellation that's far older than it is."

"You're right, Xiyuan."

She asked an educated question.

All stories, sooner or later, go on to construct "existence."

However, the time period in which controversial stories can be built is too short, so naturally there will be problems.

"What do you think of Journey to the West?"

"what?"

"Do you believe that 'Journey' came first, or that the Great Sage existed before that?"

This brought about a moment of recognition for my companions.

"Does this mean 'Master of Steel' existed before this story?"

"Maybe, maybe not."

"what the hell?"

As I said.

. Over time, the ages of those beings who become stories will gradually become indistinguishable.Constellation could start with a story, but even that story changes over time.

[Ship stabilization process has ended]

[the hatch is now open]

"Well, we'll find out when we get there."

Han Xiuying said, and jumped out lightly.

Li Zhizhi and the two children looked very excited and quickly followed her.

"Let's go too," I said.

The rest of the companions nodded and left the "spaceship".

If my memory serves me correctly, the plot of Oz mirrors the adventures of the original novel.

The house that gets swept away by the tornado will go to another world called Oz, and the one that gets crushed will be the evil witch...

"What the hell is this?!"

…That's when I heard Li Zhizhi's cry.

Yes, she must have found the witch under the house.

However...

"Hey, is this fake?"

Something was indeed crushed under the house.

However, this is not a real witch, but a doll modeled as one.

It's in such a filthy state that it's hard to tell it was ever a witch.

Han Sooyoung picked up the broken leg of the mannequin and asked me, "What is this?"

I looked at the leg silently.

The progression has been changed from the original plot

The planet Oz in "Inactivation" is a theme park.

Visitors will follow the route of the original "The Wizard of Oz"

After meeting the Munchkins and taking on different role-plays, head to the Emerald Castle.

However, something is amiss here.

Dwarf 'dream man' missing

Yoo Jong-hyuk muttered softly, "It's a little different from what my master told me."

I agree.

What's with this perspective?In the silver city, the cold wind blows, and there are almost no signs of life.

"Some things are really dull. Isn't the world supposed to be a fairytale?"

Even I, who has read The Inactivation Law through and through, don't have much information about Oz.

The novel is properly introduced only once in the original novel

In Liu Zhonghyuk's 999th comeback turning point. (This scene is skipped much more often in the second half of "The Law of Inactivation", and the Oz-related story is boiled down to simple lines like: "They went to Oz to find the ghost enough metal to strengthen their weapons.")

It's a sad place, isn't it?It would be even better if there was a happy story pervading the place.

Until now, it is still vivid in my mind.

Here he Li Xiancheng awakened his own strength, and finally inherited the status and will of "Master of Steel".

But no matter how hard I try, we now have a completely different perspective than the original.

Why?Is it because we changed a lot of the original storyline?

It's nothing but Oz.

This is not a change of planetary influence, but caused by the Golden Sole Corporation.

"Shouldn't those fairy-like creatures gather around us, singing and dancing as they drive us somewhere?"

"Don't worry about fairies, I can't even see a fly." Han Xiuying said.

A broken notice board from the theme park was found discarded on the ground.

It was as if we were looking at a closed amusement park.

Still, the kids looked excited.

They clung to my body and started muttering to themselves.

"It's almost like a haunted house."

.We decided to follow the yellow road marked on the ground for the time being.

According to the original story, the Emerald Castle should be waiting for us at the end of this road.

Sure enough, we walked for a while and did see a tall green tower.

A small city was built around that tower.

An old castle has been built where all journeys end, so we hope you will come and visit us and remember our stories.

There are some bitter words written on the city gate.

-. At this moment, Liu Zhonghyuk suddenly said: "From here on, I will act on my own."

"what why?"

"In this place there lived among the dwarves a fine blacksmith."

After listening to his words, I remembered a sentence.

The metal of Oz is full of the oldest magic, so in fact, Oz is the birthplace of metal, filled with the oldest stories in the stars.Even Yoo Jong Hyuk's original weapon was reinforced with steel from this place.

The greatest supreme sword was reborn as a star relic after the metal of Oz and Yoo Jong Hyuk's story intertwined, and this is the star relic he uses in the second half of the novel.

Of course, this is the original story, enhanced this time with [Dark Paradise Demon Sword], but still...

"The steel in Oz is the strongest in Starstream, and getting the right weapons is the most important thing."

After declaring this, Yoo Jong Hyuk hit the road without even waiting for our permission.

The buddies looked at me and silently asked me if it was okay, to which I simply shrugged my shoulders.

Since I came to Oz for many reasons, it is necessary to separate us here.

Moreover, there is no need for the whole team to save Li Xiancheng.

I speak to Li Zhizhi and her crystal clear eyes.

"You should go after him too. Don't you want to upgrade your ship?"

"certainly!"

Li Zhizhi, who was obviously happy, ran away quickly.

Next, I looked at Yoo Sang Ah.

"Shang Ya, can you follow them for a while? I'm a little worried about leaving them both. And the kids... I'm sure there's a lot to see here."

"Let's go! Come on!"

The children grabbed Yoo Sang-ah's hands and quickly disappeared into the street.

Now that this rowdy group has been so divided, I feel a little empty for some reason.

The rest are Jung Hee Won, Han Soo Young and me.

-.Han Soo-young muttered: "Then, only Dorothy, the wise scarecrow and the cowardly lion are left."

There are 4 members in the main team of The Wizard of Oz.They are the protagonists of the story: Dorothy, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion.

.I said out loud, "Since you said the 'smart' scarecrow first, I guess it was you."

"bingo."

"I won't ask you about the other two."

"Obviously, you're a Cowardly Lion."

"Thank you."

- We chatted and giggled as we walked downtown.

If the place continues as a theme park, such a combination could be quite interesting.

Zheng Xiyuan shook her head while looking at us, and strode forward without hesitation.

A group of monkeys hiding in the corner of the city glanced at us.

It certainly didn't feel like a welcoming atmosphere.

The world doesn't welcome us and doesn't even bother to say hello to us.

Forget fairy tales, the overall vibe here is more suited to a horror novel.

Soon after, we arrived in front of the Emerald Tower.

- Han Soo Young was the first to say, "It looks like a magic tower."

"Well, a real wizard lives here, so..."

Still, I'm not sure if he's still alive.

We approached the door, knocked, and were greeted by a man's curt, curt voice.

-- State your business.

"We hope to meet the 'Master of Steel'."

. There was no answer, and the door remained firmly closed.

I seem to have slipped my mouth somewhere.I quickly recalled The Law of Inactivation.What did they say at round 999?

Just when I was concentrating on thinking, Zheng Xiyuan suddenly pulled out his sword and said it out loud.

"Give me back Hyun-sung's soul before I split this damn tower in half."

.' The identity of an archangel exploded from her entire body.

Just as the flames of hellfire began to burn on the blade of the steel sword, the door opened hesitantly.

Emerald Castle welcomes you all

,' I don't know if it's the right thing to do, but since we don't have much time, I think it's fine.

Han Soo-young found an ideal opportunity here, so she muttered to herself in an impressive voice:

"As expected, our Dorothy."

"Shut up, I didn't come here to mess around."

-Han Sooyoung quietly approached my side, whispering during the midday tryst.

"Super scary, is this the power of love?"

Zheng Xiyuan was advancing, and her steel sword drew an arc in the air.

She was originally an energetic person, but seeing her like this, I have to admit that her current temperament is really surprising.

- i think so.

'The interior of the tower is rather unremarkable.

There are no eye-catching ornaments, just the most necessary items here and there.

Like the inside of Lee Hyun Sung's military backpack.

. We walked for another 5 minutes before we saw a room similar to a living room.

We opened the door and went in right away.

Colorful spotlights come to life, and a giant silver mask floats in the center of the room.

A pair of empty eyes are watching us.

[Is it a gold only company]

'The true voice of steel echoed through the auditorium.

I realized right away that this guy is the "Master of Steel", a story-level constellation, and Lee Hyun-sung's backer.This mask may have been a symbolic item.

"Yes, nice to meet you."

[I guess you are the 'Savior of the World'. ]

.I nodded.The silver mask looked at me like this whole thing was annoying.

[what is your purpose here]

,? Straight to the point, eh? I thought it was better that way.

"Please return Lee Hyun Sung's soul to us, we know you own it."

[That is impossible]

"Why not?"

[His soul is needed to sustain the planet. ]

.,- This is completely beyond my expectations.

I glanced around, only to find Jung Hee Won glaring in my direction.

I followed quickly.

"I'm well aware of how sponsorship deals usually work, but Hyun-sung is our companion anyway. My impression so far is that you like our story?"

"Besides, doesn't Oz have enough great stories? Surely there's no reason to use Hyun-sung's soul as a powerhouse?"

The story of "The Wizard of Oz" is also famous, and it is also famous on the earth.

Of course, the reputation has cooled a bit lately, but the story once generated an astounding popularity across the globe.

'It's so famous on Earth, so how popular will it be in Star Stream?

So lack of energy means nothing at all.

Even so, the "Master of Steel" remains steadfastly recalcitrant.

[Go back, I can't return his soul]
