Chapter 177

Cheok Jungyeong’s story filled my whole body, while the stories of Cheok Jungyeong scattered through the Star Stream started to gather . It was a good story that improved the status of existence just by reading .

[The story ‘Dragon’s Blood’ has become known . ]

[The story ‘Wiping Out An Army With One Sword’ has become known . ]

[The story ‘Battlefield Slaughterer’ has become known . ]

…

「 He was a strong man from birth . He was born with a dragon’s bloodline . 」

「 “Cheok Jungyeong! Cheok Jungyeong has appeared!” 」

「 “He cut 36 enemies alone . ” 」

From the time of Cheok Jungyeong’s birth until now . He didn’t know about the ‘scenario’ but he heard stories that were part of the ‘scenario . ’

[The story ‘Exiled from the Scenario’ has become known . ]

「 “He is too strong . Exile him from this scenario . Use every means possible to send him to another world . ” 」

I watched the passing history and felt anger, sadness, joy and frustration, just like Cheok Jungyeong . After the bout of emotional feelings, Cheok Jungyeong’s face and solid body were seen . I had never seen Cheok Jungyeong before but I seemed to know him better than anyone else .

This story was Cheok Jungyeong .

“Why are you going so far to help me?”

[Who knows? Why?]

Five constellations on the Ganpyeongui were consumed in exchange for summoning Cheok Jungyeong .

However, the thing he was doing for me now far surpassed five constellations . No constellation would disclose the base of his story to an incarnation . In addition, Cheok Jungyeong wasn’t my sponsor .

[I was like you . ]

One of Cheok Jungyeong’s stories flowed into my head .

[The story ‘One Who Fights Against Fate’ has become known . ]

「 “Place Fate on him . This person has to die . ” 」

The words of the constellation struck me . I knew that Cheok Jungyeong had been wronged . I didn’t know he was affected by fate, just like me . A long time ago, Cheok Jungyeong experienced the same thing due to the constellations .

I saw the rising notification windows .

[The story ‘One Who Fights Against Fate’ has begun!]

Cheok Jungyeong’s story was my story . Cheok Jungyeong laughed .

[It isn’t the same size as your fate . There was only one nebula who did this damn thing to me . ]

Cheok Jungyeong spoke as he watched the world through my eyes .

[At that time, I survived with the help of Hongik . However, I still often think about it . I shouldn’t have received the help of any nebulae . ]

Cheok Jungyeong’s spirit emerged from my chest .

[That’s why I want to help you . ]

He raised the sword in my hand and took a specific posture . The outer god, who had almost swallowed the Founder’s Mother, roared .

Cheok Jungyeong also pulled out all his aura . The Unbroken Faith in my hand was crying violently .

[A good sword . ]

The sword shook as if in response to the remark . My magic power was reduced, like there was a bottomless pit, while particles of pure ether gathered in my sword .

An ether blade that was over 10 metres in length was formed . I shook from the formidable power and tried not to lose focus .

[I will borrow it for a while . ]

My body was completely possessed by Cheok Jungyeong and I started to run with Unbroken Faith in my hands .

It was an overload that I couldn’t cope with, despite my overall stats being over level 100 . The bones in my body creaked and the group exploded, forming a huge crater .

I was confident that I could cut anything with this power .

However, I was engulfed in a sense of despair as soon as I leapt into the void and confirmed the enemy . It was an emotion I felt while living in the ‘human’ world .

Could I kill such a huge thing?

The outer god beyond the Great Hall exceeded imagination just from the size . The diameter of the body alone was at least one kilometre . Each of the 12 legs attached to the body had a diametre of several dozens of metres .

Still, not even one-fifth of it had passed through yet . If all of this guy appeared, who the hell could kill it?

Cheok Jungyeong read my despair and laughed .

[I am Cheok Jungyeong . ]

It felt like the world was listening . Or it was a declaration to the entire Star Stream .

[The strongest military leader on the Korean Peninsula . ]

Then the sword moved . There was a moment when I didn’t know what I was doing, despite being the one to do the action . It was the swordsmanship of Cheok Jungyeong .

Two Swords Style, Two Sword Mountain Chop .

Cheok Jungyeong’s sword moved . It wasn’t a sword for cutting humans . It wasn’t a sword for cutting monsters . It was a sword to cut nature .

The blade that was over 10 metres moved twice in succession . This was a giant cracking sound .

It looked more like darkness was flowing than blood and looking closer, the darkness seemed like printed letters .

I recognized it as the story of the outer god . In a way, the outer god was the same type of existence as the constellations .

Along with a scream, the god’s tentacles were separated from the torso and fell to the ground . It was like a huge building was falling .

The astonished incarnations evacuated in all directions while I was surprised in another sense .

A human could cut something like this . I felt awe for a being who was born a human but went beyond humans .

However, a terrible pain came after the amazement .

“H-Heok… kuooooh . ”

I started groaning from the terrible pain . A violent storm was battering my body . I shivered like a person electrocuted by hundreds of thousands of volts .

The bones in the hand that swung the sword were destroyed and my mind shrivelled like a crushed bug . Strong power came with great responsibility and in this world, the name of this responsibility was ‘probability . ’ Still, I wasn’t ready to take responsibility yet .

[The constellation ‘Goryeo’s First Sword’ is looking at you . ]

Cheok Jungyeong was sharing the probability but I was still too weak to handle his strength . Cheok Jungyeong sighed .

[Weaker than I thought! I thought you could afford this much because you are a constellation…]

I wanted to say that he had too much brute strength but my words didn’t emerge .

“Cough! Pant! Pant! Pant!”

Instead of throwing up food, I threw up electricity . I sat on the ground and breathed out for a few minutes before I barely managed to escape the probability storm .

I looked up and saw the scene made by Cheok Jungyeong .

The sword that cut mountains .

Cheok Jungyeong had turned two of the twelve tentacles into rags from the one attack . In other words, he cut two mountains .

However, there were 10 mountains and the torso remaining . Cheok Jungyeong’s voice was dark .

[…It is insufficient . It might be possible if I could use more three swords . ]

“There are more than three swords?”

[I haven’t used it yet but in your situation, I doubt I can even use three swords . ]

I gritted my teeth . The summoning speed of the outer god was accelerating . Even if the scale of probability had been almost adjusted, the summoning continued and it seemed furious from the blow .

“Is there any way to negotiate with that guy?”

[Negotiate? How will you negotiate with it?]

“It is also a god…”

Cheok Jungyeong noticed my intentions and interrupted me .

[If you are trying to save your mother, give up . It is a situation where the shadow of Founder’s Mother is eaten . Your mother’s soul would already be scattered . ]

“It hasn’t happened yet . The outer god doesn’t eat its prey that way . ”

[It sounds like you are aware of the outer gods . ]

Cheok Jungyeong didn’t know . I really did know the outer god . I once again looked at its appearance .

The two giant tentacles and body were covered in a thick fog, making it not visible .

The body, that was reminiscent to a giant canal, provoked cosmic awe just seeing it . There was no doubt . The Yoo Jonghyuk of the 136th regression fought against this very god .

In fact, while I was sitting down and trying to breathe, Yoo Jonghyuk was fighting against another tentacle .

By using the power of transcendence along with Giant Body Transformation, Yoo Jonghyuk looked like a half-god who had descended . The power of Breaking the Sky Sword moved over a tentacle and it shook painfully .

Using his own strength, Yoo Jonghyuk damaged the outer god .

The level was still insignificant compared to Cheok Jungyeong but Cheok Jungyeong spoke in an admiring voice .

[This reminds me of me in my prime . With this type of talent, he might be able to catch up with me after a long time…]

Yoo Jonghyuk avoided the moving tentacles and cut off one-third of a tentacle . However, there was a limit to the blow he could deal . Yoo Jonghyuk stepped back and gasped .

“Kim Dokja, this guy is the ‘Eater of Dreams . ’ I met him in the second regression . Once eaten by him, you will live in his space for the rest of your life and have your stories extracted . You must never enter his mouth . ”

It was information I already knew but I nodded anyway . As Yoo Jonghyuk and I was recuperating, the summoning of the god kept accelerating .

Now almost one-third of his body was summoned .

The summoned tentacles started to riot and the landscape hundreds of metres around them were completely devastated . Some incarnations screamed as they were hit by the tentacles .

The Eater of Dreams wasn’t a ‘great old one’ but it was still a cosmic god . The stories from Earth couldn’t deal with it unless they joined forces . Cheok Jungyeong spoke in a dark voice .

[…If he fully descends, it isn’t possible even with my strength . We have to attack now . ]

However, the situation wasn’t advantageous to us at all . Sparks flew as soon as Cheok Jungyeong pulled up his story again, crushing my heart .

[This damn probability doesn’t help at all . ]

This was all the probability I could use, despite the outer god being summoned .

The meaning of this was simple . Someone had assigned the amount of probability that could be used to us . It was stupid to ask who was behind this .

I bit my lips and blood flowed down . “We still need to do it . Use the Three Sword Style!”

[Your presence might disappear if I use it . ]

“This is the only chance . Yoo Jonghyuk . Join forces with me this time . ”

Yoo Jonghyuk nodded .

I once again started running with Unbroken Faith in my hand . The sparks of probability flew with every step that I took .

Would it be possible? I didn’t know . This time I might really be crushed by the probability storm . Still, I had to do it . I had always done it and it would be the same again .

“Kuheeeok…”

Before I could even run 10 steps, the probability grabbed onto my ankle again . This time, the recoil was greater .

As expected, it was impossible alone . I needed someone’s help but who could help me now?

It was different from the time with the Absolute Throne . The constellations who tried to help me now would become enemies with the huge nebulae .

[The constellation ‘Maritime War God’ is looking at you . ]

The amount of sparks around me were gradually decreasing .

The Duke of Loyalty and Warfare, Yi Sunsin .

He led the upper-grade constellations of the Korean Peninsula and contributed to my probability .

Cheok Jungyeong was slightly touched .

[Duke of Loyalty and Warfare . There was a story that you are more likely to become a narrative-grade than me . ]

[The constellation ‘Maritime War God’ is nodding lightly . ]

[Well, okay . The stories added… are there any more? Are there no more constellations courageous enough to confront this god?]

The sky was silent .

Apart from the Duke of Loyalty and Warfare, no one else took on my probability . Then Cheok Jungyeong’s angry roar emerged .

[Baldy! Come quickly and help! Aren’t you a someone who fights for justice?]

[The constellation ‘Bald General of Justice’ bows his head . ]

[Fucking one-eyed jerk, what are you doing?]

[The constellation ‘One-Eyed Maitreya’ is tightly holding his eyepatch . ]

Cheok Jungyeong shouted towards the world, without worrying about his probability being wasted and his status being damaged .

[All of you are hiding even in this situation? Aren’t you constellations? General? Maitreya? King? You don’t deserve to be called this!]

[The constellations of the Korean Peninsula are silent at the words of Goryeo’s First Sword . ]

Yet there still weren’t any constellations who moved . At this moment, a figure staggered in the distance .

The woman breathed roughly as she reached out to this side . It was Min Jiwon . Fortunately, she was alive .

[The constellation ‘Lady of the Brocade Sleep’ is looking at you . ]

Then a message was heard .

[The constellations of Silla are bearing your probability together . ]

The constellations of Silla were helping me . It was a modest level of help but they were still constellations .

[The nebula ‘Vedas’ feels resentment towards Lady of the Brocade Sleep . ]

[The constellation ‘Lady of the Brocade Sleep’ is exhausted from the excessive probability and has fallen into a deep sleep . ]

A constellation closing their eyes meant they had suffered significant damage to their existence .

Even so, the will of Lady of the Brocade Sleep seemed to have affected the other constellations of the Korean Peninsula .

I felt a prickling sensation as eyes started to gather on me .

[The constellation ‘Bald General of Justice’ says he doesn’t care and is looking at you . ]

It started with Samyeongdang .

[The constellation ‘One-Eyed Maitreya’ is looking at you with half an eye . ]

[The constellation ‘King Heungmu the Great’ is swearing as he looks at you . ]

[The constellation ‘First Spiritualist of Joseon’ sighs and looks at you . ]

The sparks covering me dwindled in an instant . It was finally turning into a likely probability .

[The nebula ‘Olympus’ declares that Maritime War God is an enemy . ]

[The nebula ‘Papyrus’ is furious at the constellations of the Korean Peninsula . ]

…

Thanks to me, the whole Korean Peninsula was covered with war clouds .

Cheok Jungyeong laughed . [This is why I curse this land but I can’t leave . Fighting to the death with a few people…]

[The minimum of preparations is reached . ]

Finally, Cheok Jungyeong prepared his Three Sword Style .

TL Note: I suddenly received notice of a sudden work conference I have to go to as a substitute on the weekend . I’m heading interstate tomorrow so the rest of this week’s chapters will be posted by the end of today .

I’ll see you Monday .
