Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint - Chapter 439

Chapter 439: 439
The boiling power of Chaos encroached into the blood vessels in my entire body . One by one, Fables began resisting against the invasion of this foreign power .

[Fable, 'One who opposes Miracles, dreams of miracles . ]

[Fable, 'One who Murdered an Outer God', is resisting against your change!]

[Great Fable, 'Demon World's Spring', is protecting you!]

I barely managed to hold onto my wavering consciousness and staggered towards the sacred texts .
⸢ . . . . . ⸥
I thought I heard voices coming from somewhere, which could've been a side effect of transforming into an Outer God . I figured that my consciousness breaking apart somehow automatically activated [Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint] .
However, it wasn't only one person this time; as if I was seeing many people's POVs, several voices came at me at the same time .

⸢ . . . . . I already knew . ⸥

That was Yu Jung-Hyeok .

⸢It was just too obvious from the get-go, you know . I thought that it might as well be . ⸥

Yi Ji-Hye .

⸢If he didn't tell us up-front, then he must've had his reasons . ⸥

Shin Yu-Seung .

⸢I, I already was suspecting it too, you know?! D-Dok-Ja hyung! Dok-Ja hyung!!⸥

Yi Gil-Yeong .

⸢ . . . . Dok-Ja-ssi?⸥

Jeong Hui-Won .
To these folks who understood it all already without being told – just what could I possibly say to them?

⸢What a powerful Sun Wukong he is . . . . . Who could he be?⸥

… . That was Yi Hyeon-Seong .
I ended up smirking softly .
Right, maybe it's for the best that he doesn't find out .
I sensed my memories beginning to crumble away . Once the transformation into an Outer God was over, all of my memories should scatter away like cosmic dust .

⸢Kim Dok-Ja was scared . ⸥

[The 4th Wall] probably was aware of it already – that big talk of mine was nothing more than just a coward pretending to be tough .

⸢After losing all my memories will I still remain as 'me'?⸥

I did die a few times so far, but never have I lost all of my memories . What would happen to the 'me' that remembers everything, from here onwards?

[What really scared him was not death . ]

Even if I got to read them all again, would I be able to regain the emotions I felt back then in full?

[Fable, 'Comrade of Life and Death', is looking at you . ]

[Fable, 'One who Hunted the King of Calamities', is looking at you . ]

[Fable, 'Liberator of Giants', is looking at you . ]

Would I really be able to feel the same emotions that I felt during the acquisition of all these precious stories?

⸢And finally, the 'sacred texts' were waiting for Kim Dok-Ja right before his eyes . ⸥

The [Journey to the West Remake] .

That book was the 'Great Fable' itself . The moment I grasp it, this Great Fable would become 's, as well as the Outer Gods .


⸢Kim Dok-Ja reached out towards the 'sacred texts' . ⸥

With this, we'd be able to complete this [Journey to the West] .
Tsu-chuchuchuchu . . . .
It was at this moment that something strange happened .

[Due to the unexpected event in the scenario, your transformation into the Outer God is being delayed . ]

… . It's being delayed?
Sparks exploding all around me got even more violent while the roars from the Constellations grew further away . The flow of space-time was being warped strangely . Probability so powerful that it gave me chills and back-wetting goosebumps was being mobilised . It felt as if the entirety of the was writhing around .
Someone was intruding into the scenario by breaking through the distorted space .

[Great Dokkaebi, 'Heoju', has incarnated to the scenario!]

[Great Dokkaebi, 'Heoche', has incarnated to the scenario!]

[Great Dokkaebi, 'Harong', has incarnated to the scenario!]

[Great Dokkaebi, 'Haram', has incarnated to the scenario!]

[Great Dokkaebi, 'Haesol', has incarnated to the scenario!]

Several Great Dokkaebis were incarnating before my eyes .
Tsu-chuchuchuchuchut!
As if it had turned into stone, my hand reaching out towards the 'sacred texts' froze up in place .
This shouldn't be happening .
[You cannot acquire that story . ]
Dokkaebis weren't able to interfere with the main scenarios .
No, actually, some did try indirectly to pick fights with us, but there had never been an instance where a Dokkaebi with "Great" as its classification personally distorted a scenario like this .
However, these ones had betted away their Probability and did indeed intervene with the scenario .

[ is violently convulsing!]

Great Dokkaebis were also a part of the .


Even if they were tasked with controlling the system, they were not exempt from the consequences of abnormally abusing the Probability .
Perhaps that was the reason why the powerful sparks were dancing around wildly on the bodies of the Great Dokkaebis .
[The forgotten ones need to remain forgotten . ]
I thought I could understand just a little why they were willing to go this far . If I took the 'sacred texts' and acquired the 'Great Fable' in the process . . . .
[AhAhAhAhAhAh]
[OhOhOhOhOhOh . . . . !]
Then, the Outer Gods they had been excluding from the story would officially be incorporated into a 'Great Fable' .
Outer Gods were beings that couldn't be controlled fully by the system they possessed . Never mind the mid-to-lower grade [Old Beings], if the higher-ranked Outer Gods were to enter the scenarios indiscriminately, then the would fall into unbridled chaos .
Even then, I simply had to complete this task .
[Give up . ]
Statuses from the Great Dokkaebis had tied my entire body down like chains, and my fingertips reaching out to the 'sacred texts' came to a dead stop only a single hand span away . However, I didn't get flustered .
As the Great Dokkaebis appeared here while going against the Probability, there's was no doubt that another creature tasked with fixing the tilted balance of the distorted Probability would appear soon .
Ku-gugugugu!!
Speak of the devil – a whirlpool suddenly formed in the middle of the sky . It was the [Great Hole] . And an existence revealed itself and looked down at me from beyond the opening .
[Take the 'sacred texts', oh apostle of ■■ . ]
It was none other than the Wenny King, the one I met back in the N'Gai's Forest .
Great Dokkaebis discovered the Wenny's presence and roared out in sheer astonishment .
[How dare . . . . !]
[The devil of the horizon, how dare you show yourself here!]
[You do not possess the Probability to appear in this scenario!]
The Wenny King sneered back at them . [It's the same story for you, too . ]
The Statuses of the Great Dokkaebis and the Wenny King collided, and my previously-restrained body regained its freedom . And my hand crossed that final distance .
[Outer God transformation has resumed . ]
The Wenny King smiled brightly .
[Oh, dear . The worlds you have erased shall advance once more . ]

The moment my hand touched the 'sacred texts', my consciousness faded away within the brightly-lit storm of electricity .
I could barely sense what might happen from here onwards .
I looked behind me and slowly closed my eyes .
⸢The only thing he could trust now was . . . . ⸥

*

Showers of light exploded and scattered in the distant sky .
Even the Nine Stars, even the 28 Mansions – they all had no choice but to look at the explosion in that moment .

[Every Constellation of the Nebula, , is freaking out!]

Yi Gil-Yeong atop the Dragon Horse was busy evading the Nine Stars' attack until then, but even he had to bring his mount to a stop .
" . . . . Shin Yu-Seung?"
Shin Yu-Seung regained her consciousness and opened her eyes on top of the saddle . The moment she did, her eyes quickly snapped towards the western sky where Yi Gil-Yeong was also looking at .
Her heart was beating powerfully .
[Something has gone wrong . Eliminate these small fries quickly, and . . . . ]
The Lords of the Nine Stars and 's Historical Figure-grade Constellations recovered from their fluster and hurriedly rushed towards Yi Gil-Yeong and Shin Yu-Seung once more .
The boy spoke up, his gaze still fixed to the western skies . "I'll create a path, so get going . "
No one needed to explain it to them . The story they were searching for was over there .
"Go and rescue Dok-Ja hyung!"
That was where Kim Dok-Ja was .
Shin Yu-Seung could sense it . Maybe, far better than anyone out there .
Just as Yi Gil-Yeong jumped off from the Dragon Horse and unleashed his Status, Shin Yu-Seung made her mount break out into a dash . The horse reverted back to the Jade Dragon and flew forward like a speedboat on the river's surface . A nostalgic scent of a Fable wafted in from the distance .
That's where she could see the starlight from her Sponsor that protected her for a long time .
It was shining so brightly like that, yet . . . . why hadn't she been sure of it before?


Countless questions raged on in her head before slipping away .
Why was Kim Dok-Ja in this place?
Why didn't he reveal his true identity to anyone?
Shin Yu-Seung couldn't answer any of that . However . . . .
. . . She felt that if Kim Dok-Ja was lost again in that place, she'd never be able to see him ever again .
Kwa-kwakwakwakwa!
Beams of light fired by the Nine Stars slammed into the Dragon Horse . Shin Yu-Seung screamed as she plunged into the river water .
However, there were creatures that dragged her back out of the water .
[KimdokjaKimdokjaKimdokjaKimdokja]
[WeareWeareWeareWeareWeare]
From when did this happen? Yogoes that had been previously floating around gathered into a large group and were crossing the river .
Somehow, she ended up on top of the group . Yogoes were floating up like stepping stones and created the path forward .
[SavehimSavehimSavehimSavehimSavehim]
And as Shin Yu-Seung ran on top of the Yogoes, she belatedly realised it .
⸢The reason why ahjussi is here, it's for the sake of these guys . ⸥
The moment she realised it, something welled up from deep inside her .
She saw Kim Dok-Ja's Fable scattering away within the blinding rays of light .
She didn't need anyone to explain to her that he was clearly in serious danger right now .
⸢Why does ahjussi, always alone . . . . !⸥
The first emotion she felt was resentment .
Why didn't Kim Dok-Ja ask his companions for help?
⸢There must've been a reason for that . ⸥
She knew that . But . . . .
⸢He probably thought that this is for the best . ⸥
Even then, there were some things that remained difficult to accept .
It was the same story back in the Dark Castle, and also in the Demon World . And even during the 'Great War of Saints and Demons', too . Their lengthy scenario was simply Kim Dok-Ja's history of continued sacrifices .
⸢And that was why this resentment wasn't directed at Kim Dok-Ja, but towards Shin Yu-Seung herself . ⸥
She was none other than Kim Dok-Ja's Incarnation and that's why she felt this sadness . The pain she was experiencing right now was nothing when compared to his determination .
⸢For sure, Kim Dok-Ja would've said something like "Yu-Seung-ah, listen . There's no 'weight' to sadness . "⸥
Shin Yu-Seung didn't agree with those words .
Sadness did indeed have 'weight' .
The despair of a person risking his life trying to save someone else, and another's grief borne from powerlessness while watching that feat unfold, would never carry equal weight .
In the end, to every human being, the most precious thing was themselves .
And Kim Dok-Ja risked everything of his, always .
It was right at that time that the river water suddenly exploded in front of her eyes . Constellations of vomited out as they crashed back down to earth .
[Come, you disappeared stories!]
Accompanied by the voice reverberating throughout the world, the entire world began changing .
Several [Great Holes] opened up in the various parts of the sky, and creatures possessing unimaginable Statuses started to cross over .
They were no longer the 'Outer Gods' .

[■?■?■■ is participating in the role of 'Extra'!]

[■■?■ is participating in the role of 'Extra'!]

They were Yogoes from the Journey to the West .

(This was the final war to determine the owner of the 'sacred texts' . )

(The horde of shadowy demonic beings rushed in to put the finishing touches to the final pages of this lengthy tale . )

A spectacle akin to the world meeting its annihilation played out .


And in the centre of that apocalypse, Kim Dok-Ja with his two blank eyes was wandering among the Yogoes .
Was Shin Yu-Seung mistaken when she thought that he no longer seemed to be 'Kim Dok-Ja', but a Yogoe?
'I need to stop him . '
On top of the broken Yogoes' path, Shin Yu-Seung looked down at her small hand . It was a hand that she believed was capable of achieving things far greater than any adult could . And it had done precisely that many times before . However, at least in this moment . . . .
… . She felt that it was nothing but a child's small hand .
[■■■■■■■■■■■■ . . . . . !!]
The heavens split up and the ground caved in . The Tongtian River's waters overturned in its entirety, and the living creatures atop it died in their droves as blood and Fables flooded out .

[Judge, 'Sakyamuni's Successor', is looking at you . ]

It was exactly then that she felt someone's gaze and heard that person's voice .
[Yu-Seung-ah, only you can do it . ]
It was a voice she knew so well .
"Sang-Ah unni??"
[At this rate, Dok-Ja-ssi won't be able to come back . Only you can prevent that . ]
There was not enough time to ask how something like this was possible . So, Shin Yu-Seung only asked the necessary question first . "What, what should I do?"
Yu Sang-Ah didn't answer her right away . However, what she did say sounded like a Buddha bringing up a new topic for a conversation .
[Do not forget your role . ]
Shin Yu-Seung stared momentarily at the sky in stupefaction, before her gaze shifted over to Kim Dok-Ja's direction . A golden headband glowed faintly on top of Sun Wukong's head .
She looked down at her fist again . It was still that of a little child's . But at the same time, it was the fist of 'Tang Sanzang', as well .
" . . . . Can I really do it?"
Her voice was trembling .
Kim Dok-Ja's figure staggered about in the distance .

[Fable, 'Demon King of Salvation', is continuing with its storytelling . ]

Finally, the tears she was holding back broke free . "But, that could be what ahjussi wants, you know?"
And to such a child, Yu Sang-Ah spoke .
[He has been alone for a very long time . ]
Kim Dok-Ja (金獨子) .
[To someone like that, telling him that he's not alone a few times won't suddenly change anything . ]
Shin Yu-Seung was Kim Dok-Ja's Incarnation .
[You need to tell him, always be next to him, and reaffirm it for him . ]
As she cried, Shin Yu-Seung stepped forward .
[Until he realises that he's truly not alone anymore . ]
She gathered every little scrap of her Status and began running hard . Just like Kim Dok-Ja using the [Way of the Wind], she too gave everything she had and ran on top of the river .
While stepping on the water's surface sinking in bit by bit, Shin Yu-Seung shouted out loudly as if to tear out her vocal cords .
"Ahjussi!!"
Kim Dok-Ja wasn't listening . In the midst of the bloody battle between Yogoes and the Constellations, he was looking back at her with empty eyes as he slowly morphed into another Yogoe .
His body was changing . Kim Dok-Ja was scattering away .
"Don't go! Please!! Please don't go!"
She watched her Sponsor slowly disappear right before her eyes and shouted even louder and louder . It didn't sound like words, but screams, instead . These were things that couldn't be conveyed with mere words .

[A brand new Fable is sprouting within you!]

Not everyone could use special methods to communicate, and that was why Fables existed . Words that couldn't be conveyed would become stories eventually .
The golden letters of the Constrictive Sutra had become a Fable and they began emitting bright light now .
⸢I'm not going to give up . Just like how you keep rescuing me, ahjussi, I . . . . !⸥
As the meteors rained down all around her, Shin Yu-Seung looked straight at her 'star' and told her tale .
⸢I'll definitely save you, too . ⸥
