“….Hyung, it says that the reward is the 'Final Wall'.”
Yi Gil-Yeong catching up to us spoke in a puzzled voice. However, I too had no idea about this.
The reward was the [Final Wall]….?
I wasn't sure of what that vague description could mean – was us reaching the Final Wall the reward itself, or after the scenario ended, we'd be given the ownership of the wall?
Besides, could someone even claim ownership of the concept of the Wall in the first place?
Nothing was certain at the current juncture. But, it was a certainty that we'd reach the truth of this world when this scenario comes to an end.
[[Please, go ahead.]]
Under the 999th turn's Yi Hyeon-Seong's protection, the comrades ran forward. As for the Constellations trying to chase us down, the 'Secretive Plotter' and the other Outer Gods blocked them.
The ark was right before us. Destroying it would take us to the end of all scenarios.
[Stop them-!!]
Starlight descended from the night sky once more. It was shocking to see that there were so many stars left still. It was also hard to tell just where these Constellations had been hiding all this time.
[It's the Outer God King! Kill him!]
Constellations pointed their weapons at me and jumped in. Even though they lived like puppets of large Nebulas and never truly cleared scenarios until now, they still managed to acquire the qualifications to enter the 'Final Scenario'.
Surprisingly enough, some of them were either former or the current subscribers of my channel. Ones that donated something every now and then to urge me on – ones that desired powerful sources of cider, and asked me for more stimulating plot development.
And now, they were standing against me.
[Kill him!]
A few of my companions seemed to be surprised by their hostility towards us.
Han Su-Yeong couldn't hold it back in and opened her mouth. “You guys still hadn't exited yet?”
What popped up in my head just then was the words the 'Guardian of the Mandala' said to me back in the Isle of Reincarnators.
⸢No matter how shoddy a story is, an existence hearing and watching it for a long time will grow to love it.⸥
Back then, I didn't understand what he meant by that. I only thought that the 'Guardian of the Mandala' saw the tragedy of the scenario called [Great War of Saints and Demons] in such a light, that's all.
However, after I mulled over it some more, I realised that that statement probably didn't only apply to the [Great War].
The Constellations originating from Japan and fought against us during [Peaceland] were incarnating before our eyes one by one. I even saw the 'Eight Pieces of Fire' Kagu-tsuchi and 'Controller of High and Low tides', the Water Dragon Ryujin.
The one confronting them among our companions was the protector of the skies.
[Incarnation, 'Yi Ji-Hye', is unleashing her Status!]
[Constellation, 'Maritime War God', is unleashing his Status!]
Along with the sensation of a boundless ocean spreading out, the surrounding stage was submerged in abundant Status. The opponents may be Fable-grade Constellations, but the current Yi Ji-Hye would never be pushed around by them.
However, she didn't fire away and took a look in my direction instead.
“Ahjussi.”
I too knew why she was hesitating like this.
[Go! If you can't be of any use, then go and blow yourselves up!]
Constellations were pushing the backs of the Incarnations forward. These Incarnations from the Japanese side, their eyes blank, staggered towards us.
Just before we could unsheathe our weapons, someone cried out from a nearby location.
“Everyone, please wake up! Please, you must take a good look at who you're trying to fight against!”
That was a voice I definitely recognised.
“Izumi is dead, and Hiroshi also died. Just how many more must die before we all wake up? Have you all forgotten the tragedy back in the [Peaceland]??”
It was Asuka Ren.
[Incarnation, 'Asuka Ren', has become the 'Enemy of the Story'.]
Surprisingly enough, she had already chosen to side with us.
[Incarnation, 'Asuka Ren's', attribute, 'Mangaka' is activating!]
[Your ■■ is 'sacrifice'.]
