Omniscient Reader 108 Episode 21 – Things That Can't Be Changed 6

Jung Heewon ran forward. Her muscles were strengthened by Judgment Time to the limit and the Demon Slaying buff gave her a sharp edge.
Along with Uriel's h.e.l.l Flames Ignition, her combat power was enhanced to the most ideal form.
The blazing flames of judgment. They weren't judging s.h.i.+n Yoosung. Even so, it was s.h.i.+n Yoosung who would receive the flames.
[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire is watching the battlefield with sad eyes.]
Jung Heewon's blade declared the opening.
[The character 'Jung Heewon' has used h.e.l.l Flames Ignition Lv. 1.]
The stigma was only level one but the h.e.l.l flames burned through s.h.i.+n Yoosung's ether storm.
The power of a great demon, the Beast King's Breath poured out but Jung Heewon didn't care. She just grasped her sword as firmly as possible and drew a line connecting the sky and earth. The Beast King's Breath turned to smoke as soon as it met h.e.l.l Flames Ignition.
Someone muttered, "Oh my G.o.d, what is that?"
h.e.l.l Flames Ignition was a stigma that could evaporate the sea of a planet when it reached the final level. When the 'Messiah' appeared in the original novel, it was Uriel who opened the way in preparation for him.
The archangel feared by all demons, the great demons' enemy that was closest to a great demon.
s.h.i.+n Yoosung nodded as she saw Jung Heewon rus.h.i.+ng through the flames.
「 I see. Uriel. You were waiting for this. 」
The disaster didn't back down in the presence of the terrible archangel.
「 It is enough to make an ending. 」
No, she looked rather relaxed. It was as if she had finally fulfilled her duty.
The ether wrapped around s.h.i.+n Yoosung's fist and the flames that clung to Jung Heewon's blade collided. s.h.i.+n Yoosung stumbled and Jung Heewon pushed forward without missing this gap. No matter how good the overlapped skills, the powerful buffs would have a short duration.
Jung Heewon was well aware of this and accelerated her attacks. The surrounding land was affected by the holy flames.
s.h.i.+n Yoosung persisted despite being long exhausted. She was like a seasoned actor playing the last performance of her life as she tried her best to live.
[Many constellations are excited about your design.]
The constellations that came over from Dokgak's channel were excited.
[15,000 coins have been sponsored.]
The hateful donations of the constellations rose sharply. Affection and hatred were just a moment of entertainment for the constellations. Unfortunately, the story that lasted a moment for them was a life for humans.
[The constellations of the Korean Peninsula are looking at you sadly.]
In front of the many watchers, I drew the ending of this scenario by myself.
[The constellation Secretive Plotter is focused on your choice.]
In the meantime, Jung Heewon had turned the Beast King's Sensitivity into rags and the flames of h.e.l.l Flames Ignition were gradually burning s.h.i.+n Yoosung. Injuries were also piling up on Jung Heewon's body. It was a close match but victory wasn't on the side of the exhausted s.h.i.+n Yoosung.
Jung Heewon ignored all defenses and plunged through the ether storm, stabbing her sword into s.h.i.+n Yoosung's belly.
A bright blaze of flames surrounded s.h.i.+n Yoosung's body. The holy flames burned at the energy of the great demon in her body. The black aura coming from her turned to smoke.
Blood splattered from the place where the sword was pulled out. s.h.i.+n Yoosung looked down at her blood like it was a prop on a stage. It was finally settled.
I suddenly saw the collapsed King Ma.s.swood and Heavy Metal Bean. The Monster Gate had closed and the fight against the monsters was ending. I approached s.h.i.+n Yoosung.
Control of her flesh had come back but her body wasn't normal. s.h.i.+n Yoosung looked down at her body and stated.
「 …I am dying now. 」
In normal cases, the Beast Lord wouldn't die from these wounds. The Beast King's Vitality was as good as Yoo Jonghyuk's Recovery. Unfortunately, she was. .h.i.t by h.e.l.l Flames Ignition.
The flames of h.e.l.l were deeply embedded in her body, burning her vitality to extinguish all evil. Uriel's stigma was a fire that never burned out until all the evil was gone.
[The exclusive skill, 'Fourth Wall' is shaking!]
[Due to excessive immersion, stage 2 of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint will always be activated.]
The fire was inside her body and s.h.i.+n Yoosung would never survive. s.h.i.+n Yoosung watched me and smiled weakly. "I'm glad to be here during this round of regression. It was good to hear Captain say those words."
「 It hurts. I'm going to disappear like this. 」
"Now I can die in peace. Something really might change."
「 I don't want to die… 」
The omniscience was a curse. Knowing someone's heart meant always deceiving someone.
She smiled and stared up at the air. There was an intermediate dokkaebi with a stiff expression. "I'm going to die now. Isn't it okay as a drama? This was a great scenario."
[Some constellations are nodding.]
[Some constellations are complaining.]
The intermediate dokkaebi was silent. Well, he hadn't expected this. The scenario was completed but it wasn't as he intended. Now he would pay for what he intended.
I looked back and saw Yoo Jonghyuk approaching. He asked, "Is she going to die?"
"…Perhaps."
"You must be lacking hatred."
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d was really…
Yoo Jonghyuk pulled out his sword. I was about to stop him from trying to kill s.h.i.+n Yoosung when his Heaven Shaking Sword stopped. The cold blade was supporting s.h.i.+n Yoosung's head. s.h.i.+n Yoosung said, "Hold on until the end. I will die soon Captain."
s.h.i.+n Yoosung's thoughts flowed into my ears.
「 There is something I want to hear from you. 」
「 Just once. 」
「 I wish to hear it just once. 」
They were words that could never be said. Yoo Jonghyuk couldn't hear these words and spoke nonchalantly. "I have something to ask."
"What is it?"
I felt miserable as I saw the antic.i.p.ation on s.h.i.+n Yoosung's face. It was because I knew her expectations would never be rewarded.
"Who is the great demon that helped you cross over to this world?"
She stared blankly at Yoo Jonghyuk for a moment before laughing. "…Captain is the captain to the end."
「 You don't change. 」
"Tell me."
"Have you heard of the 'Great Demon of the Horizon'?"
「 That is why I admired you. 」
"I know the name."
"If Captain's luck is bad, you will meet him soon. However, never fight him. It is almost impossible for Captain to kill him…"
「 For a long time, a really long time… 」
Her earnest sincerity didn't reach its target and I struggled. I wanted to say something. This stupid Yoo Jonghyuk, who couldn't hear the vivid voice in front of him. The moment I opened my mouth, s.h.i.+n Yoosung's hand grabbed me.
Yoo Jonghyuk kept speaking. "I will remember."
Yoo Jonghyuk turned around at these words. Then Yoo Jonghyuk's inner thoughts were conveyed to me.
「 I will get revenge for you. 」
I trembled at the sadness in these words. I looked down at disaster s.h.i.+n Yoosung. I see. This person was already aware of it. She didn't need to hear it to already know.
Something was pouring down from s.h.i.+n Yoosung's eyes. For the first time, I thought that Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint might not be omniscient.
「 Goodbye, Captain. 」
「 Good job. 」
「 I'll leave it to you. 」
「 Rest. 」
Only a few stray sentences were left as I stared at the two people. Their thoughts had definitely reached each other. I clearly read this story. Then s.h.i.+n Yoosung started to scatter into ashes.
「 Pretty… 」
The young s.h.i.+n Yoosung approached me and held onto me. What did she feel when she saw her future self disappearing? No matter how many books I read, there were some emotions I couldn't reach. The disaster s.h.i.+n Yoosung smiled at me and the young s.h.i.+n Yoosung.
「 …I'm envious. 」
The lower body of the disaster s.h.i.+n Yoosung had almost disappeared. The speed of her destruction was accelerating.
[The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' has closed her eyes.]
[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is sighing.]
As the constellations watched her, I kneeled and grabbed the hand of the disaster s.h.i.+n Yoosung. s.h.i.+n Yoosung was surprised by my unexpected behaviour and looked at me.
I invoked Beast King's Sensitivity with my last remaining magic power. It was to pa.s.s on a gift to her.
The mysterious senses of the beast kings touched and for a short moment, s.h.i.+n Yoosung's soul was connected to mine. It was a sensibility that only beasts shared.
The pa.s.sing wind whispered something. It was a story that neither the constellations or dokkaebi could hear. The dying s.h.i.+n Yoosung's eyes widened like she couldn't believe it.
「 …Are you serious? Really? 」
Fortunately, the message was properly delivered. Her chest had already turned to ashes and now she had no voice left.
「 Why… 」
Tears slowly filled her eyes. She tried to tell me something but the cold wind stopped her. The connected films of two worlds were breaking again.
The pieces that she was made of turned to ashes and scattered. Her eyes, nose and mouth. Her voice. The person who lived over one thousand years scattered into pure white ashes like snow.
The ashes like a trail as it disappeared into the sky. It was like a distant journey or even a dance.
I looked up at the faint traces drifting in the air. I couldn't believe it was real and the young s.h.i.+n Yoosung held onto me tightly.
"Did she really die?"
I steadied my heart.
"Can't you change it? Really?"
Then she nodded.
"Ahhh. Ah…"
Lee Gilyoung grabbed my sleeve and wiped his eyes with it. Yoo Sangah was crying and I didn't know why but Lee Hyunsung was also tearful. Yoo Jonghyuk didn't cry while only Lee Jihye didn't know the exact situation. "…Why is everyone crying? I am also sad."
My forehead was cold and sleet was falling from the misty sky. There was no snow or rain. The cold sensation relieved the people. It was funny. Humans felt most alive when they confirmed the death of another.
"Ah…"
The people of Seoul Dome collapsed once their tension disappeared. There were people laughing, crying or feeling angry.
The donations of the constellation flowed here and there. The responses were different but there was one thing they all agreed on.
The 'Disaster of Floods' s.h.i.+n Yoosung had died.
There was a frozen intermediate dokkaebi staring up at the sky. Bihyung, who had been watching silently, finally opened his mouth.
[Intermediate dokkaebi. The scenario has ended.]
[ How? This… ]
[If you don't do it then I will end it.]
A moment later, a message was heard.
[The fifth main scenario is activated!]
[The compensation settlement is being prepared.]
Finally, the scenario declared her death. The future s.h.i.+n Yoosung had died and the disaster was over. This was the conclusion of the fifth scenario. Everyone thought so and believed so.
.
.
.
To be exact, everyone except me had to believe this. From beginning to end, everything had to be a perfect drama. It was a drama that declared things couldn't be changed.
A tragedy that followed the constellations and scenario. This was the only way for the 41st round s.h.i.+n Yoosung to escape from the d.a.m.n scenario.
At this moment, the young s.h.i.+n Yoosung's hand heated up.
"I will kill…" The girl's eyes were fixed on the intermediate dokkaebi floating in the air. "That dokkaebi, I'll kill him."
I was trying to restrain her when sparks flew in the air. The sky was crumbling and a portal was opening.
Two white dokkaebis emerged from the portal. The low-grade dokkaebis found the two dokkaebis wearing white armour and backed away at once.
It was natural.
These dokkaebis were people that all dokkaebis hoped to never meet. The bureau. They were the dokkaebis of the Executive Branch, responsible for investigating the 'probability' in scenarios. The two dokkaebis had a fearsome atmosphere as they approached the intermediate dokkaebi and arrested him.
[ …Executives. What are you doing?]
An executive dokkaebi declared to the shocked intermediate dokkaebi.
[Intermediate dokkaebi 'Paul.' You shall be arrested for violating the Star Stream regulations.]
