Omniscient Reader's Perspective

Chapter 480: Episode 91 - A Single Fable

[Unbreakable Faith] stained by the traces of a story.Smoke rises from this burning tale.

The history that once belonged to someone is now scattered in ashes.

Kim Nam-woon's blood-soaked white hair was caught by the blade.

This is the golden only son's choice

I watched his hair blow away in the gray smoke and opened his mouth.

"When I was young, I really hated you."

Kim Nam-woon was the only character I couldn't sympathize with when I was still engrossed in reading Inactivation Law.

If everyone who appears in the novel is my brother, my father, my sister, my role model, then...

’ Then the character of ‘Kim Nam-woon’ became my cautionary tale.

"Your so-called justice has no dignity and kills innocent people indiscriminately."

The 18-year-old has adapted to this dysfunctional world faster than anyone.

He is the embodiment, wielding his knife, recklessly indulgent, arrogant and disrespectful, while throwing himself completely into darkness.

Doesn't hesitate to do evil deeds while spitting out cliché after cliché.

These traits were so vividly displayed, my younger self could unabashedly hate this guy.

Wicked fashion is just so people can hate and hate it without reservation

This is Kim Nam-woon.

"You're a villain, you were and you are."

.I muttered to myself, as if talking to myself, the story stained the blade with drops of blood.

Now the only son of Kim, who has grown up, looked at Kim Namyun again

Just as the characters in The Inactivation Act change during the course of the plot, the person who reads the story—me—changes.

Now that I'm an adult, I can understand why he would turn into a villain.

Maybe it was Jin Duzi's fault that turned Jin Nayun into a villain.

Because I read "Inactivation Law" at the time.

, because, I told the author my perspective, just like what a constellation would do, I evaluated and judged him.

- Dear author-nim, is Kim Nam-woon going to be a companion again this time?

Because, I believe he is just a character created by the author, not a living, breathing person.

When I think about it, the reason why I hate Kim Nam-yun is actually very simple.

"Liu Zhonghyuk always regards you as his companion."

Of all the people in "Inactivation Law", Kim Nam-woon is the most like me.

"Even if he knew you were an evil bastard, even if he knew you did evil things... even then, he took you in."

If I were him, what would I become?

- High school sophomore - Kim Nam-woon.

An ordinary high school student, living under the pressure of study, is at odds with his parents.

'What would happen if such a high school student was pushed into an extreme environment where he couldn't survive without someone to protect him?

"At first, I thought Yoo Jong-hyuk was thinking about practical benefits. Because, you have high potential as an avatar, that's why. But when I think about it, there are other people with the same potential as you. Even so, every time When coming back, Yoo Jong Hyuk will always treat you as his companion."

If it were me, would I choose differently?

Repeat the first round, the second round, then the third round.So even in round 999, if I made a different choice than "Kim Namyun" at that time, would I still survive?

"...Thinking about it now, maybe it's not Yoo Jong-hyuk who is pursuing actual interests, but me."

,.,Yoo Jong Hyuk's age was still "28" when I started reading "Inactivation Act".He was an adult then, even now.

Maybe he already knows the fact that life is the accumulation of a person's choices, and those countless choices pile up to finally become a story worthy of a person.

No one is born evil.

Just as the first round was different from the second round, the 998th round is different from the 999th round.

That's probably the real reason why he's repeating his comeback after such a long time.

The blade stopped in mid-air.

(Unbreakable Faith) faintly plunged into the comatose Kim Nam-woon's carotid artery, and stopped right there.

I spoke in a half-sigh tone.

"That doesn't mean you can forgive yourself for what you did, though. But what I want to say to you is..."

[Kim Namyun]

. An unbelievable state came from behind me.

Someone rushed through the heavy artillery fire like a tank, running this way.

This is Li Zhizhi in the 999th round.

All this is because Kim Nam-woon found herself in danger, she abandoned her "island", broke through the shelling, and approached here in a hurry

He even did not hesitate to shatter his entire body into pieces, facing the attack of Jin Duzi Company directly.

"You're lucky, aren't you? You even have a 'mate' who is so worried about you."

The word "companion" made Jin Nayun's empty eyes tremble.

It wasn't just Li Zhizhi who rushed to this place.

I felt my back getting hotter, and then a horrible feeling hit my neck.

This is [Fire of Retribution].

[what are you planning now]

Uriel in round 999, who was fighting Yoo Jong Hyuk a second ago, was standing behind me before I even noticed.

I slowly turned my head towards her.

She must have fled the battle hastily, for her white wings were torn to shreds and her body was covered in deep scars.

With just a casual glance, I knew she was seriously injured.

Regardless of her resentment and hatred, or even her desire to win, she chose to fly here because Jin Nanyun's life was in danger.

Some things will not change even if you become an Outer God.

Companions who are willing to risk their lives for "one person"

Because that's who they are, they saw the end of round 999 without Yoo Jong Hyuk present.

"My plan, is it? That's what I want to ask you."

With the sound of landing, Yoo Jong Hyuk appeared behind Uriel in the 999th round.

His [Dark Sky Demon Sword] aimed at her neck.

The emotions in his eyes were obviously complicated.

His expression seemed to criticize me, but also to sympathize with my choices.

Maybe both.

His eyes seem to suggest that now that things have become like this, I should be here to do what I want to do.

, anyway, I was going to do it without his permission.

"You and the other 'Kings of the Outer Gods' could easily destroy Earth if you really wanted to."

My words made Uriel's eyes tremble slightly in the 999th round.

["Apocalypse Scenario" is currently in progress!]

We didn't discuss any other scenes, but the Great Apocalypse takes place in scene 98.

Not even the constellations of the distant skies dared to take part, for fear of their total and eternal destruction.

In this scene, at least the descended "Outer God" has absolute power, defying every constellation with ease.

With the flick of a hand, every island in the Pacific was leveled

..I still clearly remember that sentence in the original book.

These "kings" can even summon an asteroid from outer space to collide with Earth if they choose.

Having come to this world as a catastrophe, they can drag in the greater possibility and use it as they please.

"Why didn't you do it in the first place?"

All my planning starts with this question

So why didn't they try to destroy the planet in the first place, so to speak?

Uriel in the 999th round did not say anything for a long time.

[That is. In fact, I already guessed what her answer was. ]

Because these people are not the "outer gods" that appeared in the original book.

Even though they are from another world, they are individuals who started from "Earth" and managed to clear the scenes

, Earth is their home, where their stories begin and where their lives end.

.- but they survived as tragedy.

They lost their precious One Outer God line from another world.

That said, they're tired of the thing about invading another worldline.

So... would such a person destroy the entire world for their goals?

"You never really wanted to kill us."

Li Zhizhi of the 999th round said that they will use this world line as a sacrifice to revive their own plan.

However, is this true?

She's already filled with distrust of Star Flow, so can she really trust the great Goblin's promises and do so?

Will Uriel in the 999th round really agree to do this?

"From the beginning, all of you couldn't do it. This game was your loss from the beginning."

This is the answer I got.

The vast majority of zodiac signs are shocked by your judgment

My assertive statement made Uriel glar at me with complicated eyes in the 999th round.

Li Zhizhi staggered to her side, and quietly put his hand on Jin Nanyun's head.

, he looked at me blankly, then turned his head away.

Kim Namyun was crying.He must be sad about something because he was crying uncontrollably.

Uriel in the 999th round could do nothing but watch the scene continue.

[why don't we stop here]

Lee Hyun-sung came closer to express his opinion.

[what should we stop]

[Uriel, you know about this too, right?This is not what we want.We can't solve anything this way...] [In that case, what should we do to "solve" it]

'Uriel's voice sounded flat

It was a voice full of despair, consumed by the vastness of countless hours.

[I always give it my all. ]

[As I promised, I saw the end of the world. ]

[Even so, I can't save anyone. ]

[I became an Outer God, moving on while dreaming of revenge. ]

[Even though I knew my vengeance was meaningless, I still denied the fact and came to this point. ]

[However, you've come this far now by telling me to give up other things? ]

[Speak, "King of the Silverheart"]

[I don't know the answer to this question.That's all, and I'm sure the stories of these people will show us something. ]

[what?You're saying that even though we've come this far, we still need to see other things?]

[I don't know either.However, I have a certain feeling.This feeling, the reason we have been "outer gods" since turn 999 and have lived for so long, is all for this moment... Don't you feel the same way?]

In the 999th round, Uriel looked up to the sky.

;The sky is crying, where the stars twinkle unintentionally.

[Galaxy is urging an end to its longest-awaited story. ]

I looked around and saw that our companions had arrived here.

Han Soo Young, Yu Sang Ah, Jung Hee Won, Lee Ji Ji, Shin Yu Seung, Lee Ji Yong...

They surrounded the Outer Gods, as if waiting for my signal to surround them, ready to take action.

Uriel in the 999th round asked loudly.

[Why are these people possible and we are not?]

, the burning [Fire of Punishment] also viciously shouted out.

[Why, why we failed]

At this moment, someone dared to open his mouth and say, "Why do you think you have failed?"

It's Yoo Jong Hyuk.

he asked, while his [Dark Heaven Demon Sword] was still in training around Uriel's neck.

"Don't you want to see a failed ending?"

, perhaps surprisingly, I know exactly who said those words.

"Even if the end of the world is a tragedy...don't think you've all failed."

This is what Yoo Jong Hyuk told his companions before he died in the 999th round.

Uriel in the 999th round trembled.

In her infinite depression, there was a trace of joy.

She approached him, speaking in a trembling voice.

[You really......The 'Yoo Jong Hyuk' I know?]

Liu Zhonghyuk didn't answer her.

[I want to talk to him!Please, call him up!Even if only once, I hope to see him again.I want to ask him.I......]

Uriel of the 999th round grabbed his hand and seemed to be begging him.

By now, she must have felt it too.

In this "Liu Zhonghyuk", it is him who she fell in love with in the 999th round.

I actually had the "secret mastermind" call out Yoo Jong-hyuk from round 999 when I was busy planning this earlier.

These "Kings of Outer Gods" rely on that version of Liu Zhonghyuk.So I thought, if I could get his help, I might be able to convince these people.

[Sorry, but that's not possible. ]

.But the "secret mastermind" rejected my request, as the current Yoo Jong Hyuk said.

"What do you do when the guy is summoned here?"

"If he told you to surrender, would you do so? If he told you to obey our demands, would you still obey his orders?"

Uriel's complexion in the 999th round became paler and paler with each word he uttered.

I want to tell him that's enough

that's terrible

He didn't stop there.

His words poured out like a merciless sword.

In a way, I realized something else.

'It was neither 'Yoo Jong Hyuk' nor 'Secret Mastermind' who refused my request.

'Yoo Jong Hyuk' in the 999th round is silent

Yoo Jong Hyuk in the 999th round refused to show up.

In that moment, a belated realization washed over me.

"It's been so long and you still can't decide anything without him?"

-, until now, I don't feel like I understand everything - like, why he refuses to heed my request.

Like, why Yoo Jong Hyuk in round 999 chose not to appear in front of his mates.

The story of the 999th round was completed due to the absence of Yoo Jong-hyuk

His companions live on in order to resurrect him, to meet him again, and to avenge his death.

They use these goals as their reason for living and stick to them.

In this case, what happens to their lives when their sanity is gone

The waves rolled over our feet, creating foam.

The sea is sinking.The sea looked strange, as if foreigners had drifted in from far away.

In the center of this ocean the Outer Gods formed an island, and they gazed upon their King with bated breath.

One of the kings was speaking her words.

[...Oh I see. ]

Like a ship that has roamed the boundless sea for countless hours and finally found its destination...

[So, this is what you want, Yoo Jong Hyuk]

Uriel in the 999th round stopped.
