Chapter 442

“Ahjussi!”

Powerful rays of light exploding out from Kim Dok-Ja’s entire body, and the waves of magical energy containing ‘s Great Fable pouncing on Shin Yu-Seung’s position, happened almost at the same time .

She reflexively embraced his body . The durability of her [Beast King’s Sensitivity] had dropped to a critical level after defending against countless attacks so far . But she had no other methods to defend against this new wave other than this one .

She squeezed her eyes shut and the moment she hunkered down, a storm of blinding light exploded and the waves of Fables blanketing the surroundings disappeared as if they were washed away .

” . . . . . Ah?”

Her body, raised up to the sky, slowly descended back down again .

The spot where Kim Dok-Ja had been standing only until a moment ago was now occupied by a tall man . He was blessed with the blindingly pure platinum-blonde hair, forged steel-like muscles, and [Fiery Golden Eyes] burning in a crimson hue .

‘s Constellations freaked out .

[T-this can’t be . . . . !]

The Outer Gods were also shocked by the emission of the stupendous level of Status from him .

Currently possessing the bodies of the Yogoes, these Outer Gods expressed their fluster at the stunning Status of Chaos rising from this tall man .

[WhoWhoWhoWhoWho]

The man grinned brightly . [For them to not recognise me . I guess my retirement has gone on for too long . ]

Shin Yu-Seung couldn’t figure out what was going on here . She could definitely sense Kim Dok-Ja’s aura from this man, but he was not ‘him’ .

In that case, just who was this man?

“Ahjussi . . . . ?”

[So, you’re Sanzang?]

The Great Sage calmly looked down at her before slowly lowering himself . Soon, their gazes were locked on the same eye level .

[Kim Dok-Ja is safe . ]

An unfathomable sense of lonesome longing flooded out from his [Fiery Golden Eyes] . Shin Yu-Seung unconsciously reached out . The moment her hand touched that cold golden headband on his head . . . .

[Fable, ‘Demon King of Salvation’, is continuing with its storytelling . ]

Her hand trembled .

She could sense it so clearly .

Kim Dok-Ja was living and breathing within this person . Not only did he not transform into a mysterious something, but the figure of Kim Dok-Ja she was familiar with remained as was .

“Yu-Seung-ah!”

Jeong Hui-Won dashed in from the distance and hurriedly shielded Shin Yu-Seung away while shooting the Great Sage a glare . He simply grinned back at her, and shifted his gaze up to the sky .

That was where a portion of ‘s Constellations, Great Dokkaebis, as well as the Wenny King could be found .

[Why do you all look like that? Weren’t you yapping on happily among yourselves without the protagonist of ‘Journey to the West’, me, present earlier?]

Indeed, he was the main protagonist of the Journey, the Great Sage Heaven’s Equal .

One of the Great Dokkaebis asked him a question . [Why have you stepped forward? Do you not have an agreement with the ?]

[I didn’t break the deal . Besides, do you even have any idea what that deal is in first place, before asking me that?]

The Great Dokkaebi didn’t have the chance to reply, as the Wenny King’s true voice butted in first .

[Monkey King! Are you insane? The ‘Demon King of Salvation’ is ours . He’s an Outer God now, in other words . That was our agreement!]

[He’s my brother now . And also . . . . ] The Great Sage’s [Fiery Golden Eyes] emitted bright light . [I’m also an ‘Outer God’ now, you see . ]

Due to Douzhanshengfo’s transformation into an Outer God, the aura of Chaos was billowing out from Sun Wukong’s entire body .

[Shares of ‘Outer God’ in the applicable scenario currently is 35 . 333% . ]

[Hidden Scenario – ‘Verifying Agreement’ has been completed!]

[Power of the Great Fable has begun moving!]

[Scenario, ⸢Journey to the West Remake⸥, is entering its final phase!]

(And then, Sun Wukong looked at his long-time comrades . )

Yogoes that had fallen into confusion were all looking up at him . The majority of them were ‘Outer Gods’ used as expendables in the scenario . Up until only a few moments ago, they had been searching for their king, yet now, they were shaking their heads in a clear sign of fluster .

[KingisKingisKingisKingisKingis]

[WhichoneWhichoneWhichoneWhichoneWhichone]

Yogoes were at a loss, stuck between the Great Sage appearing as a brand-new ‘Outer God’, and the ‘Secretive Plotter’ they had been following originally .

He spoke to them as if he could understand their confusion . [You all suffered greatly until now, my friends . ]

(These Yogoes, they had experienced this really lengthy tale together with him . )

[I know very well of the ordeals you were subjected to . I was born as a Yogoe, but got influenced by men’s ways, and ended up accepting their ideals and customs . I carried out what they deemed to be true righteousness, and walked on their path of Dao . ]

(Sometimes, they were his enemies . At other times, they were his allies . )

[And the result of that, is this . Yogoes were sacrificed . And the meaningless epiphany repeated itself . Now, ⸢Journey to the West⸥ has become a tool to strengthen the Nebula’s influence by spreading around the tired, obvious truths . ]

(However, all of that was nothing more than a Fable, a play performed on a stage . )

[I’m sure it’ll be impossible to atone for the past . Even then, if you are willing to forgive me . . . . . ]

(The ancient king of the Yogoes . Their king, who used to fight against the heavenly worlds once upon a time, was now speaking to them . )

[Then I shall fight for you from now on . ]

One by one, Yogoes raised their heads .

[ReallyReallyReallyReallyReally]

The Great Sage replied to them . [I shall put my true name on the line and swear to you . ]

Yogoes began moving towards him . One and two soon became ten, grew to a hundred, and before long, went past a thousand . Yogoes hiding under the river’s water, ones hiding within the clouds in the sky, they all revealed themselves . They gathered like swarms and began forming a horde . As if they were trying to worship the king they had served a long time ago .

[Ancient ‘Great Fable’ is waking up . ]

[Halt! Cease what you’re doing!]

[You’re a judge! A judge cannot interfere with a Fable in progre . . . . . !]

Great Dokkaebis urgently stepped forward to stop this situation, but it was useless, at least this time around .

[ has acknowledged the Probability of the 95th Main Scenario . ]

[Main theme of the ⸢Journey to the West Remake⸥ is changing drastically!]

Even the Great Dokkaebis couldn’t go against the gigantic flow of the . As for the Wenny King, it stepped back without resistance as if it wished to observe the unfolding situation first .

Its original aim was to send ‘Outer Gods’ into a scenario anyway, so technically, that goal had pretty much already been accomplished . The only problem was . . . .

… . Who was the one leading all these ‘Outer Gods’?

Ku-gugugugu!

Thunderbolts crashed down from the [Great Hole] in the sky, and soon, something broke past the abyss to make their descent .

[H-he is . . . . !]

Status emitted by him was so powerful that the Outer Gods appearing so far couldn’t even compare to him . The Great Sage, the Wenny King, even the Great Dokkaebis – they all witnessed that person’s incarnation into the world .

The Great Sage smirked . [So, he finally showed up . ]

[Constellation, ‘Secretive Plotter’, has incarnated into the scenario’s location!]

[Someone has joined the scenario in the role of ‘Demon King of Confusion’!]

The ‘Secretive Plotter’, currently in the form of a jet-black lump of shadow wavering around in the wind, took on the role of a Yogoe to participate in the scenario . Perhaps due to him not going through a proper entry procedure, blindingly bright sparks were enveloping his entire body .

The Great Sage asked him . [Are you here to hinder this great Master Sun?]

[[That depends on your choice . ]]

[As expected, you have a rather insidious-sounding voice, ‘Secretive Plotter’ . ]

This would be the first time that these two came face-to-face . A confrontation was brewing between two Constellations who had been watching Kim Dok-Ja for a long time through Bihyung’s, and later, Biyu’s channel .

The Great Sage growled and spoke up . [You pretended to be all slick and sophisticated in your indirect messages, but today, you finally reveal your true colours . ]

The ‘Secretive Plotter’ quietly studied the Great Sage . [[Meanwhile, you are just as thoughtless as your indirect messages suggest . ]]

Sun Wukong emitted a stupendous amount of Status and roared out triumphantly while gripping his Ruyi Jingu Bang . [Enough talk . Since you’re here, let’s fight . This situation won’t get resolved unless I kick your ass first, anyway . ]

The Plotter’s entrance caused agitation and unrest to spread among the surrounding Yogoes . It seemed as if they were hesitating on who to follow among these two absolute beings .

Submit to the king of all Yogoes, the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal?

If not, submit to the king of Outer Gods, the ‘Secretive Plotter’?

The possibility of a sudden confrontation between two Constellations brought about a palpable sense of tension to the Great Dokkaebis, Wenny King, and to other Constellations floating in the air .

On one side, an Outer God who dreamed of the ‘s destruction, while the other, the strongest Constellation within itself .

A battlefield that had never been created before was about to commence .

Sun Wukong, burning with the will to fight, was about to raise his Ruyi Bang high up into the sky, but then . . . .

[[I’m sorry, but your opponent today isn’t going to be me . ]]

Accompanying those words, the heavens split open wide and a great amount of sparks exploded out .

[Nebula, ‘s, Constellations are descending to the scenario!]

The number flooding in was in another realm altogether compared to ‘s forces that had entered so far . Half-destroyed stars of the 28 Mansions, the few remaining Lords of the Nine Stars, Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, and after that, a countless number of immortals and wargods from the Taoist pantheon were incarnating into the scenario .

[Constellation, ‘Master of the Immortal Peach Garden’, is incarnating into the scenario!]

[Constellation, ‘Heaven’s Wise Man’, is incarnating into the scenario!]

[A great number of Constellations hiding their Modifiers are incarnating into the scenario!]

That wasn’t all . Spirits that ruled the plains, the mountains, and the rivers, and even the great cosmic army that guarded the heavenly palaces – an army consisting of over 100 thousand in total blanketed the scenario’s sky .

[The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, Prince Nezha, and Erlang Shen . Now that is a nostalgic combination . And not only that, the heavenly palace’s lazy-arsed geezers are here too . . . . ]

(The enemies from the heavenly palace he used to fight against a long time ago were now standing before him . )

[Great Sage, what’s the meaning of this?]

Prince Nezha, the very one who tried to suppress Jeong Hui-Won along with Fei Hu earlier, was now brimming full with the power of a Fable incomparably mightier than before . That was because he was no longer playing a role from the Fable chamber, but making an appearance as himself .

[What do you mean, what? I’m here to end this scenario . ]

The Great Sage’s curt reply prompted an immediate opposition from ‘s Constellations to rise up .

[You can’t arbitrarily decide on the conclusion like this!]

[Don’t you realise that the ⸢Journey to the West⸥ will end up in the hands of a weakling Nebula if you do this?!]

[Hurry and give up on the ‘sacred texts’!]

The Great Sage looked at the ‘sacred texts’ held in his hand, and then, took a glance at Shin Yu-Seung next to him . Then, a smirk formed on his lips .

[Argh, it’s fine if it ends up with them . What’s the problem? I mean, it’s good that its fame is spreading out even further, am I wrong?]

[This is against our agreement!]

[Nope, it isn’t . Us helping you out was until ‘The four Sun Wukongs choose the same Fable’, wasn’t it? And that day has arrived, that’s all . ]

Having realised what the Great Sage was thinking of, the ‘s Constellations began exchanging glances with each other .

[Nebula, , is greatly enraged at the ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’!]

Erlang Shen stepped forward to represent his Nebula . [Great Sage . Do you understand what your actions mean? Could you be possibly planning to start the ‘Great War against the Heavenly Worlds’ in this place?]

[Hmm? No, I didn’t think of that, but well, if you wish to fight, then . . . . ]

Ku-gugugu!!

The incredible aura flooding out from the Great Sage’s Incarnation Body forced Constellations of to falter and retreat . His Fable that swept across the heavenly worlds in the past was being unshackled in this scenario .

However, Erlang Shen’s voice remained composed . [I acknowledge your strength . No one from can even dream of besting you in one on one combat . However, you can’t win in this fight . Because, the Fable will simply repeat itself . ]

Tsu-chuchuchuchut . . . . !

Signs of ⸢Stage Transformation⸥ could be spied now . Fables collided, and the event from a long time ago was about to be recreated once more .

A great war between the king of Yogoes, the Great Sage Heaven’s Equal, and .

The Great Sage spoke up . [For sure, I did lose back then . However, that was when I was just the ‘Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’ . ]

The sensed something was off and made their move first .

[He’s about to use his magic! Subdue him, now!]

[Lord Daode Tianzun! Your Jingangzhuo . . . . !]

[Come, Six Brothers from the Mae Mountain!]

The Great Sage summoned his Somersault Cloud while watching the army of the heavenly worlds pounce on him . Dark clouds dyeing the sky black heeded Sun Wukong’s Fable and began gathering into one place .

[Great Fable, ‘Journey to the West’, has begun its storytelling!]

And then, he opened his mouth . [My true name is Sun Wukong . ]

⸢The Great Sage Heaven’s Equal . ⸥

⸢Meihouwang . ⸥

⸢Bimawen . ⸥

⸢Douzhanshengfo . ⸥

And, finally . . . .

⸢The Demon King of Salvation . ⸥

A storm began raging on top of the Tongtian River . Thunder and lightning crashed down . And in the centre of this storm, the Great Sage was slowly clenching his fists .

*

As the blinding lightning bolts pounded down on the battlefield, Yu Jung-Hyeok finally arrived at his destination .

The godly figure of the Great Sage bringing down numerous Constellations in the middle of the Tongtian was truly something to behold .

‘… . Kim Dok-Ja is inside that guy, huh . ‘

Thanks to his golden-coloured [Eye of Sage], Yu Jung-Hyeok got to quickly confirm Kim Dok-Ja’s current situation . It seemed that the fool was still alive . And for some strange reason, that powerful ‘Great Sage’ personally incarnated to grant the man his own powers .

Jeong Hui-Won and Shin Yu-Seung could be seen some distance away . They were basically hiding among the great battles taking place between the Yogoes and the Constellations, which was a wise decision on their part, really .

As for Yi Gil-Yeong, Yi Ji-Hye, or even Jan Ha-Yeong, it seemed that they hadn’t arrived in this location as of yet .

‘We need to finish this scenario soon . ‘

Their Fable chamber had already reached the top of the rankings, and the ‘sacred texts’ were in the hands of Shin Yu-Seung, currently playing the role of Tang Sanzang .

[The ⸢I’ve become the retired SSSSS-grade Sun Wukong⸥ Fable chamber is currently holding the ‘sacred texts’ . ]

[Guarding the ‘sacred texts’ for one hour will automatically conclude the scenario . ]

[54 minutes remaining until the conclusion of the scenario . ]

Even the final phase of the scenario had been activated, as well . Just by holding on, the Great Fable of the ‘Journey to the West’ would be ‘s .

However, there was one thing that concerned him . And that would be . . . .

Ku-gugugu . . . . .

It was that ‘person’ currently spectating on the battlefield from the middle of the sky .

The ‘Secretive Plotter . ‘

He was simply watching on at the fight between the Great Sage and without getting involved . Yu Jung-Hyeok could guess what he was planning here . He was probably planning to wait until the Great Sage ran out of strength and launch a sneak attack on his opponent afterwards .

However, the incarnated Plotter’s aura wasn’t the same as before .

– He seems to have wasted a lot of Probability . He indeed has far too much riding on this regression turn .

Those words were spoken by Yu Jung-Hyeok [999] . From some time ago, this damn dumpling was making himself home on the full-sized Yu Jung-Hyeok’s shoulder .

He glanced at [999] with disinterested eyes before silently unsheathing the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword] .

“Meaning, this is my chance to kill him . “

That was when the Secretive Plotter accurately locked eyes with him . Just from meeting that being’s gaze caused Yu Jung-Hyeok to freeze up on the spot .

[Fable, ‘One who Opposes Miracles’, is shrinking away . ]

[Fable, ‘One who Hunted the King of Disasters’, is refusing to fight . ]

His Fables were shivering in fear . So, becoming weak meant falling into such a state? The memories of defeat brushing past him now ruled over him .

Perhaps, the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword] wasn’t the only thing that broke on that day .

[999] addressed him again .

– Looks like you’re afraid .

Yu Jung-Hyeok didn’t want to acknowledge it, but it was the truth .

– Indeed, the current you will never defeat the ‘Great Plotter’ .

It was the ‘despair’ that couldn’t be overcome no matter which history he was willing to bet away . Yu Jung-Hyeok stared at that overwhelming wall of time . That wasn’t something mere ‘effort’ could overcome .

– However, it’s not as if there are no other avenues left for you .

“What?”

[999] leapt off from Yu Jung-Hyeok’s shoulder, and his outer appearance began transforming . A Murim dumpling was changing to that of Yu Jung-Hyeok .

[999]’s height grew back up in an instant, and regained the exact same appearance as Yu Jung-Hyeok’s .

The distinctive Status of a Transcender oozed out from the back of another him currently facing away . Yu Jung-Hyeok became keenly aware of who this was in this moment .

Yu Jung-Hyeok from the 999th turn .

As his black coat danced in the air, [999] addressed his counterpart . “Remember . Remember who you really are . Remember what you wished to achieve by coming this far . “

[999] then slowly pulled out a sword from his inner pocket . Surprisingly, it was not the [Heaven Shaking Sword] .

No, it was the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword], the exact same weapon that the 3rd turn Yu Jung-Hyeok possessed .

[999] spoke up once more .

“Let me show you the battle from the 999th turn . “

Fin .
