Chapter 511: 511
The night sky momentarily turned pure white from Surya's sunlight .
Just like how we fought together back in the 'Demon King Selection' battles as well as in the 'Gigantomachia', Surya's train was rushing towards us .
"Will pay the train fare later!"
With Han Su-Yeong shouting out pompously as our lead, we got on Surya's train .
An incredible explosion of sparks occurred at the train's wheels . The vehicle did a huge doughnut once in the air while emitting loud noises, before shooting straight towards the transparent wall as sonic booms exploded out from its rear . Yi Hyeon-Seong shouted out .
"It's breaking!"
Along with the loud 'Craaaaaaack!', the transparent walls began crumbling down .
We continued to break past the layers of walls and dashed forward . The [Final Wall] recording the Fables of the Constellations was gradually getting closer .
The Dokkaebi King's loud roar was messily intermingling with the Fables from the 999th turn .
[Constellation, 'Supreme God of Light', is unleashing all of his Status!]
Surya's entire body as he sat in the engine room glowed brightly like a white-hot incandescent sun . Fables dripped out from the wounds visible all over his body . Maybe, he too had already paid a hefty price to reach this place .
[Constellation Supreme God of Light's ■■ is 'Final Engineer' . ]
Even then, his Fable didn't stop . Without showing anything outwardly, he used his own body as fuel to operate the [Sun Train] . As if that was his duty as the one who lived until now as the 'Supreme God of Light' .
[Great Fable, 'Demon World's Spring', is seeing you off on your journey!]
[The power output still isn't enough!]
Despite his fierce will burning throughout his entire body, the train's speed was gradually slowing down . It was all because the closer we got to the centre of the [Final Wall], the thicker the density of the protective walls became .
And just before the wall seemingly made out of net of texts collided against the front of the train, Jeong Hui-Won made her move .
"Leave it to me!"
"H-Hui-Won-ssi?! Eck!"
The moment she grabbed Yi Hyeon-Seong's neck tightly, his body shrunk down rapidly and eventually transformed into a steel sword . And this weapon's blade was soon burning hotly in the flames of the [Hellfire] .
[Great Fable, 'Torch that Swallowed the Myth', is seeing you off on your journey!]
'Development/Seung(承)' .
The Fable that illuminated the battlefield of <gigantomachia> was now glowing brightly to scorch the [Final Wall] .
Kwa-kwakwakwakwa!
Truly a stupendous amount of flames gushed out from the front of the train, enveloping the frontal surface of the vehicle in intense heat .
Jeong Hui-Won releasing [Hellfire] from her entire body shouted out in a voice seemingly sizzling in lava .
"Fable, shmeeble! It's all going to end right here!"
Every time her sword glowed brightly, the net of texts was torn apart .
She wielded her sword over and over again . Even as the sparks from the aftermath's storm ravaged her, she didn't forget to improve further upon her way of the sword .
This was the path Jeong Hui-Won's life had created . We were running on this path . However, it was still not enough . We needed a much stronger power than this .
The sentences on the [Final Wall] were unfolding in the distance .
⸢In that final moment, Uriel reached out towards the sky . ⸥
⸢My Fable might come to an end today, but . ⸥
⸢There will be a star that shall never forget this story . ⸥
[Great Fable, 'Season of Light and Darkness', is seeing you off on your journey!]
The Fable of both Uriel and the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon crossed the Wall to be transmitted .
The Fables of Good and Evil collided energetically and protected us, and wings made out of texts sprouted from the sides of the train . Just like a roaring Apocalypse Dragon, the vehicle devoured the walls before our eyes and continued to advance forward .
[Stop!!]
The 'Dokkaebi King' began chasing after us even before we realised it . Fables flooded out from his arms and legs, and despite the 999th turn's individuals pursuing him, he still extended his arm towards us .
Tsu-chuchuchuchut!
The Probability's sparks exploded out from the floor, shaking the train's central axis . The vehicle shook hard, and just as it was about to lose its balance, more sentences floated up above the [Final Wall] .
⸢The Great Sage watched the thunder spear fly towards his neck and spoke up . ⸥
⸢Don't stop, maknae-ya . ⸥
The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal who never yielded right up until his final moments, was there . At the same time, a man wearing a black coat riding at the rear of the train stood up .
"Yu Jung-Hyeok!"
The 'Secretive Plotter' possessing Yu Jung-Hyeok raised his hand to the air . When he did, countless 'Outer Gods' rose up from amidst the storm of aftermaths occurring on the floor . They weren't the regular 'Nameless Ones', either .
[Great Fable, 'Liberator of the Forgotten Ones' is seeing you off on your journey!]
[[Gogogogogo]]
[[WillhelpWillhelpWillhelpWillhelp]]
[[DidntforgetDidntforgetDidntforgetDidntforget]]
The 'Nameless Ones' that helped us or fought against us during the 'Journey to the West' propped up the rocking train . As if this vehicle was a ship riding on the rough waters of the Tongtian River, they were carrying us towards the [Final Wall] .
[You have approached the core of the 'Final Wall' . ]
Eventually, all the walls protecting the [Final Wall] crumbled down . The train was damaged everywhere, and Surya must've had blacked out as he was no longer releasing his Fable .
Not too far away, we could see the real [Final Wall] . A wall far thicker and expansive than any other I had ever seen .
[[This is the wall that I couldn't cross . ]]
The 'Secretive Plotter' spoke up .
⸢'Is it also not doable this time too?' That was the final moment for the 58th turn's Yu Jung-Hyeok . ⸥
⸢'I made a mistake . But, during the next turn . . . . ' The 96th turn Yu Jung-Hyeok closed his eyes in that manner . ⸥
Countless ends for Yu Jung-Hyeok streamed by above the wall . It wasn't just him, though .
⸢'The last hero of Hwangsanbeol' Gyebaek continued to shake his eternal rival who'd never wake up again . ⸥
⸢Goryeo's number one swordsman and the Maritime War God, having lost an arm each, stood back to back and unleashed their final Statuses . ⸥
The Wall that recorded the endings of all the Constellations . The last moments of all the Constellations that included Uriel and the Great Sage were being recorded on the Wall in real-time .
The companions and I disembarked from the unmoving train and dashed towards the wall .
⸢If only those sentences were erased; and if all those tragedies could be stopped . ⸥
[You can't interfere with the 'Final Wall's' sentences . ]
[Applicable paragraphs are prohibited from being overwritten . ]
[Please input the cancellation code . ]
The 'Secretive Plotter' spoke up . [[No regular methods will work . I've already used physical force before, but couldn't destroy this wall . ]]
Jeong Hui-Won shouted out . "We came this far, so there must be . . . . !"
[[From here on, it's your job . ]]
He was now looking at me . Somewhere within that gaze was the 3rd turn Yu Jung-Hyeok's, who had completed the scenarios alongside me .
⸢What exactly is the 'Conclusion' you wish to see?⸥
This was what I needed to do in order to answer that question .
Yi Ji-Hye opened her mouth . "He couldn't do it even after 1863 lifetimes, so . . . . Ahjussi, can you really do it?"
It was as she said .
I was not a 'protagonist' like Yu Jung-Hyeok, nor was I a 'writer' like Han Su-Yeong . However, because I was neither the protagonist nor the writer, maybe there was something only I could do .
Maybe, I could remember that one thing that the protagonist couldn't see, and the writer had forgotten all about .
⸢The job that only him could do, him that read the 'Ways of Survival' for a very, very long time . ⸥
I quietly stared into the 'Final Wall' . I focused all my attention and read the wall's surface again and again . Not too long after that, the wall radiated brilliantly . Just like a certain screen in the past that I had been reading over and over again .
⸢'Three Ways to Survive the Destroyed World' . ⸥
Everything from that epic tale was being established within me . I hadn't yet read the final revised version of the 'Ways of Survival' . Which meant I didn't know how this story was supposed to end . However . . .
⸢[Oh, dear unfortunate puppet . You have come far too early . I'm sorry, but beyond here 'doesn't exist' yet . ]⸥
The 1863rd turn's Dokkaebi King from the 'Secretive Plotter's' memories said that .
⸢But, what if all these were handed over to me without having been written yet?⸥
My companions and I rushed towards the wall .
⸢What if, someone wanted me to complete this story?⸥
[Exclusive skill, 'Reading Comprehension', is activating beyond the limit!]
My overheating head felt like it'd explode, but I kept my eyes wide open and continued to glare at the wall .
The Fables written on the [Final Wall] . Those Fables were connecting with each other inside my head . I saw how each Fable was connected to another . I saw the cleverly-installed narrative devices within the Fables and then, the contexts surrounding them .
⸢Those that did appear in the novel, but had never been used until its end . ⸥
When that happened, the previously perfect-looking story began showing gaps within it . Gaps that hadn't been filled . Things that would be collected as time passed by .
Things that were waiting for this story's 'epilogue' .
