Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint - Chapter 273

Chapter 273

Surya floated in the air and looked down at the ground with a complicated gaze .

The 73rd Demon Realm was surrounded by a bright light as sentences were woven into one being .

It was the sight of the world choosing its master before the enormous destruction flying from the universe .

Surya muttered, [It is only the 25th scenario yet a giant story has been obtained… There is such a thing in the Star Stream . ]

Surya had lived for a long time but he couldn’t come up with a name . There was Hercules of Olympus but he was a half-god, not a pure human . King Oedipus exclaimed, [Surya, it’s fine . It is still germinating and you can crush it!]

The ‘giant story’ was unlike any other story . It was the sum total of numerous tales and a story that guaranteed a tremendous probability by itself . However, it might be a giant story but it was only beginning . The Demon King of Salvation was just a superficial being who fortunately rose to the status of a constellation .

Nevertheless, why couldn’t Surya easily feel confident?

[Surya, what’s wrong with you? Let’s finish it…]

All giant stories were the ‘beginning of the end . ’ The story that headed towards the end of this epic scenario . Even so, getting a giant story didn’t mean that everyone would get the ‘qualification of the end . ’ Some giant stories were connected with ■■ but others didn’t go near the vicinity of ■■ before disappearing .

-Surya, it is because you can’t get the qualification of the end .

He didn’t forget Asmodeus’ words . In his tranquil rage, a message entered Surya’s ears .

[A new scenario has been given to you!]

[You will be the destruction of the 73rd Demon Realm . ]

Surya frowned at the undesirable role assignment .

‘The Star Stream . What do you want from this old body?’

He lost one of his 12 suns to Cheok Jungyeong and wasted a great deal of energy against Asmodeus . In addition, he had exhausted most of the probability given to him .

[Surya . You don’t have to go by the book . I have an idea . There is a way to subdue them without fighting . ]

Surya frowned .

[Oedipus . Are you going to use a despicable trick again? Against humans?]

[T-That isn’t it…]

[I am the Supreme God of Light, Surya . ]

The great sentences of Vedas were shining in Surya’s halo .

[Even if I can’t use my full strength, I will never lose to humans . ]

Oedipus shut his mouth in front of the overwhelming ‘status . ’ Surya raised his hand and the paused carriage started the violent charge again .

***

The locomotive made a deafening sound as it crashed through the atmosphere . Red and blue flames sparked from the head . The first one to speak was Yoo Jonghyuk . “It doesn’t seem like 135,000 kilometres . ”

If a train of that size really appeared, it would seem like a giant planet was falling . Cheok Jungyeong told me, [His words are correct . It is around 30 kilometers long . Still, that is enough to destroy this place . Demon King of Salvation, what happened to the giant story?]

“It has just started talking . The sentences are slow to gather . ”

The giant story of the 73rd Demon Realm was safely obtained but things weren’t over just by receiving it .

“It needs more time to work properly . We have to slow down the train . ”

Perhaps this ‘train’ was all that the present Surya could mobilize . There was a chance for us if we managed to block that train . I looked back and saw Cheok Jungyeong already prepared to jump forward . “Please, Goryeo’s First Sword . ”

[Believe in me . ]

Cheok Jungyeong shot forward towards the sky . Yoo Jonghyuk and I chased after him and the rest of the group followed on Shin Yoosung’s chimera dragon . The Thunder Eating Bird and Mysterious Bird of the Nile flew to interfere with us but the Brash Swamp Predator bit at their wings .

[Leave these guys to me!]

The closer we got to the head of the train, the more I realized the enormous scale of Vedas . The width of the head of the train was a few hundreds metres and it was at the level of an outer god .

[Haaaaaap!]

Cheok Jungyeong shouted and showed his Three Sword Style .

Two Swords Style, Two Sword Mountain Chop .

Cheok Jungyeong’s slash that cut through a mountain hit the train . The head of the train met Cheok Jungyeong’s status and let out a strange sound . It deviated from its course but the speed of the train didn’t slow .

In the formidable heat, it was Cheok Jungyeong’s sword slash that was melted away . However, Cheok Jungyeong didn’t stop .

Three Swords Style, Three Sword Ocean Chop .

A strike that cut the sea . It felt like there was a tsunami and the speed of the train was reduced to a slight degree . The biggest achievement was the explosion to the lead car, creating an internal access point .

[It will be easier to move inside! I will slow it down from outside!]

Cheok Jungyeong emitted a strong magic power from the head of the train . Still, it was hard for Cheok Jungyeong to deal with an object of this speed alone . “I’ll help you Ajusshi!”

Shin Yoosung’s chimera dragon moved to the head of the train with Cheok Jungyeong . The second-grade monster, the chimera dragon created intense wind pressure and the speed of the train was further reduced . Cheok Jungyeong cried out, [I have somehow bought 20 minutes . Surya will be in the car at the end . Knock him down and this story will disappear! Go!]

We nodded and entered the interior of the train . The train looked like a subway built for a giant . We adapted to the inertia to a certain extent and pressed the button to go to the next compartment of the train .

[The door won’t open . ]

[This train is only available to the constellations of Vedas . ]

Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t hesitate to activate the Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship and hit the door . There was a dent in the door but it didn’t open .

“…Amazing . ’

Unlike Cheok Jungyeong’s expectations, the train’s internal strength was formidable . It wouldn’t be hard to break if Yoo Jonghyuk and I were in good shape but the train was 30 kilometers long . In other words, we had to consider the distribution of power .

Then the first sentence of the giant story was heard .

「 The story started on the subway . 」

Sparks surged and my stories were released into the air . I felt waves surging from a distant place . It was the sign of a very old story . I looked back and the party members seemed to be feeling something similar .

[The first story of your ‘giant story’ has begun . ]

Yoo Jonghyuk, Lee Hyunsung and Yoo Sangah looked at me . The sparks that flowed like the tide was transforming the scenery around us . Lee Hyunsung murmured with astonishment, “T-This…”

Every giant story was a different story . Some involved the birth of a hero while others told the birth of a world . Our story wasn’t a hero’s biography or a creation story . This story was our survival record .

The number ‘3807’ was on the back door of the train . I looked around and sighed . “…It is the subway . ”

All stories invoked Stage Transformation when the place or person involved in the story collided .

-The 3807 car of the 3434 Bulgwang train .

It was where Yoo Sangah and Lee Hyunsung became my colleagues and where I met Yoo Jonghyuk .

All of our stories started here . Lee Hyunsung’s fists were clenched as he opened his mouth with a tense expression . “I remember that time . ”

“It isn’t a good memory but…”

Yoo Sangah was watching me with a faint smile .

“Even so, I often think about it . ”

It wasn’t a memory I could happily recall . Someone’s death and the hell of an absurd scenario . It wasn’t a memory I could feel nostalgic about but it was a history that we survived . Lee Hyunsung smiled and placed his hand on the door . “I think I can do it somehow . ”

「 There was a soldier who wanted to be righteous . 」

Eventually, everything became a story . It was hard, sad and even something I wanted to forget . After all, everything was a story .

“Haaaaaap!”

I didn’t expect it would be comforting for us now . There was only one thing we could know .

[The constellation Prisoner of the Golden Headband is watching your party . ]

[The constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’ is listening to your story . ]

In a world where sadness and joy were useless, we had to continue the story . The door, which didn’t open to Yoo Jonghyuk’s Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship, started to open at Lee Hyunsung’s power . The giant story dwelling in Lee Hyunsung’s body started exerting its strength .

[The character ‘Lee Hyunsung’ has used the stigma ‘Great Mountain Push Lv . 10 . ’]

When I thought about it, Lee Hyunsung was the one who opened the door to escape .

“Go . Quickly!”

Lee Hyunsung opened the gap and our party ran . Nevertheless, it was only one door and the train was still long . This time, it was Yoo Jonghyuk who came forward .

“I will break through next . ”

I suddenly remembered a long time ago . The regressor who annihilated the other incarnations on the train and rushed forward like a tank was now in front of me .

「 There was the strongest and loneliest man in the world . 」

Yoo Jonghyuk put away his sword and concentrated all his magic power on his fist . Then he slammed his bare fist into the door . The door of the car, which was unharmed before the sword, was torn apart by his bare hands .

This was the effect of Stage Transformation . It was unfortunate for Surya that his main story was this ‘train . ’

“Dokja-ssi! I don’t think we need to break this car!” Yoo Sangah figured something out and yelled . Just like when I found the opening device, Yoo Sangah found a way to open the car door without force .

「 There was also a woman who hid herself for others . 」

One car, another car . We kept moving forward . It was as if we were living history again . There was the sound of hammering from the outside of the train . Lee Jihye was also struggling to reduce the speed of the train .

「 The sword demon wounded after losing a relationship was met . 」

The chimera dragon’s roar was heard . In my arms, Biyoo raised her head and looked at the head of the train . To be exact, it was in Shin Yoosung’s direction .

「 A child born in the gap between past and future wept . 」

The next moment, the chimera dragon let out a formidable roar . The train tilted and the speed of the train was further reduced . I didn’t know but I thought Biyoo might’ve given something to Shin Yoosung here .

“We aren’t halfway yet . We have to hurry . ”

As Yoo Jonghyuk stated, we were still far away from the end of the train . More than 10 minutes had already passed . The speed might be reduced but the industrial complex would be completely destroyed at this pace . To make matters worse, we faced a challenge when we reached the next car .

A ray of light shot towards us . Lee Hyunsung blocked it for me and held his shoulder .

[You can’t go any further . ]

‘Founder of Humanity’ Manu and several other constellations were waiting there . Yoo Jonghyuk directly used Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship against them but it wasn’t enough to break through the constellations on the defense . They knew they had to drag out time here .

I was going to use the magic power I had saved when the ceiling of the train started to be squeezed . Something was destroying the train with an immense magic power from outside .

[W-What… what’s going on?]

It was at least a narrative-grade constellation . They couldn’t destroy the shell of the train unless they had the power to match Cheok Jungyeong .

“Mooooove!”

Then Jang Hayoung’s voice was heard outside the train . “Kim Dokja! They came! They came!”

The next moment, the entire ceiling was torn off and two beings appeared with Jang Hayoung .

[The constellation of a small planet is looking at you . ]

It was a small person filled with a brilliant blue-white energy and a huge woman releasing a blue aura . Funnily enough, my vision seemed to blur for a moment . “Where is my disciple?”

「 There was the strongest small person in the world as a teacher . 」

“It seems that we’re a bit late . ”

「 The world of the strongest giant was saved . 」

They were existences with enough power as Cheok Jungyeong who could help us .

[Transcendent…!]

In front of Manu, the two transcendents of First Murim descended . The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint, Namgung Minyoung . The Paradox Baekchung, Kyrgios Rodgraim .

Namgung Minyoung glanced at us and said, “Do it properly until the end . Otherwise, I’ll kick your ass . ”

Kyrgios stared at me and declared, “You will pay the price for lying to me . I won’t allow your death until then . ”

Kyrgios and the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint fired their skills at the door to the next car . The energy of Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship and Electrification combined and caused a formidable wind pressure to rise .

The constellations shrank back at their momentum . The fearsome waves of magic power advanced and crushed the doors blocking our way . It was a straight road prepared for a short period of time . Yoo Jonghyuk met my gaze and we started running .

[The exclusive skill ‘Way of the Wind Lv . 11 (+1) is activated!]

Way of the Wind and Red Phoenix Shunpo assisted each other as we ran . We soon reached the last car of the train .

「 Finally, there was a man who knew the ending of all these worlds . 」

This story didn’t exist in Ways of Survival . It was a story that never existed before . It was a story that would lead me to the ending I wanted .

I opened the last door of the train .
