Chapter 442
"Ahjussi!"
Powerful rays of light exploding out from Kim Dok-Ja's entire body, and the waves of magical energy containing 's Great Fable pouncing on Shin Yu-Seung's position, happened almost at the same time .
She reflexively embraced his body . The durability of her [Beast King's Sensitivity] had dropped to a critical level after defending against countless attacks so far . But she had no other methods to defend against this new wave other than this one .
She squeezed her eyes shut and the moment she hunkered down, a storm of blinding light exploded and the waves of Fables blanketing the surroundings disappeared as if they were washed away .
" . . . . . Ah?"
Her body, raised up to the sky, slowly descended back down again .
The spot where Kim Dok-Ja had been standing only until a moment ago was now occupied by a tall man . He was blessed with the blindingly pure platinum-blonde hair, forged steel-like muscles, and [Fiery Golden Eyes] burning in a crimson hue .
's Constellations freaked out .
[T-this can't be . . . . !]
The Outer Gods were also shocked by the emission of the stupendous level of Status from him .
Currently possessing the bodies of the Yogoes, these Outer Gods expressed their fluster at the stunning Status of Chaos rising from this tall man .
[WhoWhoWhoWhoWho]
The man grinned brightly . [For them to not recognise me . I guess my retirement has gone on for too long . ]
Shin Yu-Seung couldn't figure out what was going on here . She could definitely sense Kim Dok-Ja's aura from this man, but he was not 'him' .
In that case, just who was this man?
"Ahjussi . . . . ?"
[So, you're Sanzang?]
The Great Sage calmly looked down at her before slowly lowering himself . Soon, their gazes were locked on the same eye level .
[Kim Dok-Ja is safe . ]
An unfathomable sense of lonesome longing flooded out from his [Fiery Golden Eyes] . Shin Yu-Seung unconsciously reached out . The moment her hand touched that cold golden headband on his head . . . .
[Fable, 'Demon King of Salvation', is continuing with its storytelling . ]
Her hand trembled .
She could sense it so clearly .
Kim Dok-Ja was living and breathing within this person . Not only did he not transform into a mysterious something, but the figure of Kim Dok-Ja she was familiar with remained as was .
"Yu-Seung-ah!"
Jeong Hui-Won dashed in from the distance and hurriedly shielded Shin Yu-Seung away while shooting the Great Sage a glare . He simply grinned back at her, and shifted his gaze up to the sky .
That was where a portion of 's Constellations, Great Dokkaebis, as well as the Wenny King could be found .
[Why do you all look like that? Weren't you yapping on happily among yourselves without the protagonist of 'Journey to the West', me, present earlier?]
Indeed, he was the main protagonist of the Journey, the Great Sage Heaven's Equal .
One of the Great Dokkaebis asked him a question . [Why have you stepped forward? Do you not have an agreement with the ?]
[I didn't break the deal . Besides, do you even have any idea what that deal is in first place, before asking me that?]
The Great Dokkaebi didn't have the chance to reply, as the Wenny King's true voice butted in first .
[Monkey King! Are you insane? The 'Demon King of Salvation' is ours . He's an Outer God now, in other words . That was our agreement!]
[He's my brother now . And also . . . . ] The Great Sage's [Fiery Golden Eyes] emitted bright light . [I'm also an 'Outer God' now, you see . ]
Due to Douzhanshengfo's transformation into an Outer God, the aura of Chaos was billowing out from Sun Wukong's entire body .
[Shares of 'Outer God' in the applicable scenario currently is 35 . 333% . ]
[Hidden Scenario – 'Verifying Agreement' has been completed!]
[Power of the Great Fable has begun moving!]
[Scenario, ⸢Journey to the West Remake⸥, is entering its final phase!]
(And then, Sun Wukong looked at his long-time comrades . )
Yogoes that had fallen into confusion were all looking up at him . The majority of them were 'Outer Gods' used as expendables in the scenario . Up until only a few moments ago, they had been searching for their king, yet now, they were shaking their heads in a clear sign of fluster .
[KingisKingisKingisKingisKingis]
[WhichoneWhichoneWhichoneWhichoneWhichone]
Yogoes were at a loss, stuck between the Great Sage appearing as a brand-new 'Outer God', and the 'Secretive Plotter' they had been following originally .
He spoke to them as if he could understand their confusion . [You all suffered greatly until now, my friends . ]
(These Yogoes, they had experienced this really lengthy tale together with him . )
[I know very well of the ordeals you were subjected to . I was born as a Yogoe, but got influenced by men's ways, and ended up accepting their ideals and customs . I carried out what they deemed to be true righteousness, and walked on their path of Dao . ]
(Sometimes, they were his enemies . At other times, they were his allies . )
[And the result of that, is this . Yogoes were sacrificed . And the meaningless epiphany repeated itself . Now, ⸢Journey to the West⸥ has become a tool to strengthen the Nebula's influence by spreading around the tired, obvious truths . ]
(However, all of that was nothing more than a Fable, a play performed on a stage . )
[I'm sure it'll be impossible to atone for the past . Even then, if you are willing to forgive me . . . . . ]
(The ancient king of the Yogoes . Their king, who used to fight against the heavenly worlds once upon a time, was now speaking to them . )
[Then I shall fight for you from now on . ]
One by one, Yogoes raised their heads .
[ReallyReallyReallyReallyReally]
The Great Sage replied to them . [I shall put my true name on the line and swear to you . ]
Yogoes began moving towards him . One and two soon became ten, grew to a hundred, and before long, went past a thousand . Yogoes hiding under the river's water, ones hiding within the clouds in the sky, they all revealed themselves . They gathered like swarms and began forming a horde . As if they were trying to worship the king they had served a long time ago .
[Ancient 'Great Fable' is waking up . ]
[Halt! Cease what you're doing!]
[You're a judge! A judge cannot interfere with a Fable in progre . . . . . !]
Great Dokkaebis urgently stepped forward to stop this situation, but it was useless, at least this time around .
[ has acknowledged the Probability of the 95th Main Scenario . ]
[Main theme of the ⸢Journey to the West Remake⸥ is changing drastically!]
Even the Great Dokkaebis couldn't go against the gigantic flow of the . As for the Wenny King, it stepped back without resistance as if it wished to observe the unfolding situation first .
Its original aim was to send 'Outer Gods' into a scenario anyway, so technically, that goal had pretty much already been accomplished . The only problem was . . . .
… . Who was the one leading all these 'Outer Gods'?
Ku-gugugugu!
Thunderbolts crashed down from the [Great Hole] in the sky, and soon, something broke past the abyss to make their descent .
[H-he is . . . . !]
Status emitted by him was so powerful that the Outer Gods appearing so far couldn't even compare to him . The Great Sage, the Wenny King, even the Great Dokkaebis – they all witnessed that person's incarnation into the world .
The Great Sage smirked . [So, he finally showed up . ]
[Constellation, 'Secretive Plotter', has incarnated into the scenario's location!]
[Someone has joined the scenario in the role of 'Demon King of Confusion'!]
The 'Secretive Plotter', currently in the form of a jet-black lump of shadow wavering around in the wind, took on the role of a Yogoe to participate in the scenario . Perhaps due to him not going through a proper entry procedure, blindingly bright sparks were enveloping his entire body .
The Great Sage asked him . [Are you here to hinder this great Master Sun?]
[[That depends on your choice . ]]
[As expected, you have a rather insidious-sounding voice, 'Secretive Plotter' . ]
This would be the first time that these two came face-to-face . A confrontation was brewing between two Constellations who had been watching Kim Dok-Ja for a long time through Bihyung's, and later, Biyu's channel .
The Great Sage growled and spoke up . [You pretended to be all slick and sophisticated in your indirect messages, but today, you finally reveal your true colours . ]
The 'Secretive Plotter' quietly studied the Great Sage . [[Meanwhile, you are just as thoughtless as your indirect messages suggest . ]]
Sun Wukong emitted a stupendous amount of Status and roared out triumphantly while gripping his Ruyi Jingu Bang . [Enough talk . Since you're here, let's fight . This situation won't get resolved unless I kick your ass first, anyway . ]
The Plotter's entrance caused agitation and unrest to spread among the surrounding Yogoes . It seemed as if they were hesitating on who to follow among these two absolute beings .
Submit to the king of all Yogoes, the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal?
If not, submit to the king of Outer Gods, the 'Secretive Plotter'?
The possibility of a sudden confrontation between two Constellations brought about a palpable sense of tension to the Great Dokkaebis, Wenny King, and to other Constellations floating in the air .
On one side, an Outer God who dreamed of the 's destruction, while the other, the strongest Constellation within itself .
A battlefield that had never been created before was about to commence .
Sun Wukong, burning with the will to fight, was about to raise his Ruyi Bang high up into the sky, but then . . . .
