The forged steel expanded and protected both me and Yi Ji-Hye.
[Constellation, 'Master of Steel' is revealing his Status.]
Yi Hyeon-Seong's Sponsor was the original 'Master of Steel'. However, he was killed off during the
[[King of Silverlight Heart.]]
The King of Silverlight Heart, that was the new 'Master of Steel'. He was yet another existence who witnessed the 999th turn's Conclusion, alongside the 'Master of the Sunken Island'.
And it was none other than Yi Hyeon-Seong from the 999th turn.
[[Stop with your ridiculous charade as a Sponsor. What do you think you're doing?]]
Was it because she was facing another 'King' like her? The 999th turn's Yi Ji-Hye was rapidly regaining her reasoning.
[[You kept silent when we were calling for you, so why are you appearing like this now?]]
The 'Master of the Sunken Island' continued on.
[[It was you who suggested that we follow the rules. We promised to find our stories again even if that meant we'd become the apocalypse of another world. To get our scenarios back from the
The Fables flowing near them helped me to guess what their lives had been like.
⸢Ji-Hye-ya. We must stick to the rules. Even if we become the 'Outer Gods', do not forget that rule.⸥
⸢Only that rule will protect you when the world tries to inflict you with pain.⸥
⸢It'll speak up for you – that you are not wrong.⸥
Just like how Yi Ji-Hyes from different regression turns were still Yi Ji-Hye, Yi Hyeon-Seongs found in the same turns were also undoubtedly, Yi Hyeon-Seong. Even after he became an Outer God, his original nature didn't change.
The 'King of Silverlight Heart' stared at me next. I couldn't decipher the emotions contained within his gaze.
[[This is my rule, Ji-Hye-ya. To prevent the re-enactment of the 999th turn's tragedy.]]
[[What rubbish are you talking about? Is 'rules' something you can easily change on a whim like flipping your hand around??]]
[[I've heard several stories from my Sponsor who used to live this world-line. In some ways…. this world-line could very well be the one we've been searching for.]] The 'King of Silverlight Heart' was glowing coldly as he spoke. [[The world-line where the 'end' of everything could be witnessed.]]
Those words caused the 999th turn's Yi Ji-Hye to hesitate. [[Such a world-line can't exist. Besides, this world-line is about to end, anyway. Even if you interfere, even if I stop….]]
It seemed that the 'King of Silverlight Heart' chose not to become the calamity of the 'Great Apocalypse'. I expected something like that, though. If he really was thinking of harming us, then he'd have done so back in the
And since I knew that, I decided to bring our Yi Hyeon-Seong here. As a final hidden card prepared for that one off-chance.
[[These people aren't that weak. Uriel alone won't make it.]]
The 'King of Silverlight Heart' ended his words there. The 'Master of the Sunken Island' then replied, her empty, wandering eyes staring at the distant horizon. But then, life returned to her eyes right next moment, with an expression of someone who saw something quite unpleasant.
[[What if she's not alone?]]
And then, pitch-black darkness blanketed the world beyond the horizon.
Something we failed to foresee was revealing itself over yonder.
The rest of
She failed to withstand the impact force and her Incarnation Body slammed into the ocean with a deafening explosion noise.
