If you were to unpack the contents of my declaration, then they went along the lines of “kill us, and you will definitely die, too”.
如果你要解开我声明中的内容，那么他们会说“杀了我们，你也必死无疑”。
At first, the Constellations were agitated, then they began whispering among themselves, and finally, silence descended in their midst. Some stared at Agares, while the others, at Metatron. They were the holders of the highest authorities on this battlefield, but they simply maintained their silence with unreadable expressions on their faces.
起初，星座们很激动，然后他们开始互相窃窃私语，最后，寂静降临到他们中间。一些人盯着Agares，另一些人盯着Metatron。他们是这个战场上最高权威的拥有者，但他们只是用难以辨认的表情保持沉默。
However, even though no orders were issued, the clouds of war unexpectedly began churning slowly on the outskirts of the gathered masses.
然而，尽管没有下达任何命令，战争的乌云出人意料地在聚集的群众的外围慢慢地开始翻腾。
[<Kim Dok-Ja Company>. We know very well what you’re trying to do.] It was a Constellation from <Papyrus> who roared out with true voice. [However, we still have a score to settle with you.] “I wonder about that. It’s hard to tell who is owing who here.”
[kimdok-jacompany.我们非常清楚你想干什么这是纸莎草上的一个星座，用真实的声音咆哮着。不过，我们还有一笔帐要跟你算“我对此表示怀疑。很难说谁欠谁的。”
My retort prompted the Constellations of <Papyrus> to free their weapons from their sheaths.
我的反驳促使纸莎草星座解除了他们的武器鞘。
[You said that you’re neither ‘Good’ nor ‘Evil’. That also means you are both ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’, too.]
[你说你既不是‘善’也不是‘恶’。这也意味着你既是‘善’也是‘恶’。]
Nebula <Papyrus> had chosen to affiliate themselves with ‘Evil’.
星云纸莎草已经选择加入邪恶。
[We will kill all those b*stards that have sided with ‘Good’, at the least!]
(我们至少要杀死所有那些站在‘好’一边的b*stards!)
What a wise decision that was. The Chaos Points only rose up when ‘Good’ fought against ‘Good’ and likewise, when ‘Evil’ fought against ‘Evil’. <Papyrus> had figured out a way to judge us without going against the rules of this battlefield.
多么明智的决定啊。只有当“善”与“善”对抗时，“混沌点”才会出现，同样，当“恶”与“恶”对抗时，“混沌点”才会出现。莎草纸已经找到了一种不违反战场规则的方法来评判我们。
[The Most Ancient Evil wishes for your elimination.]
[最古老的邪恶希望你被消灭]
[The Most Ancient Good wishes for your elimination.]
[最古老的祝福祝愿你们被消灭。]
We were nothing more than viruses in this ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’; hosts that interfered with a system that was operating normally to spread infections around.
在这场圣恶大战中，我们只不过是病毒;宿主干扰了正常运行的系统，传播感染。
With <Papyrus> as the centre, the waves of ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’ were growing larger and larger.
以纸莎草纸为中心，“善”和“恶”的浪潮越来越大。
Constellations burning in animosity towards each other only a few moments ago were now all redirecting their hostilities towards us.
就在几分钟前，星座之间的敌意还在燃烧，现在它们都转向了对我们的敌意。
Ku-gugugugu!
咕咕咕咕！
The expressions of my companions froze up. Yu Jung-Hyeok changed his attitude and spoke. “Kim Dok-Ja.”
同伴们的表情都僵住了。于正赫改变了态度，说道:“金道子。”
He must’ve known it, too - even if <Underworld> and <Asgard> were with us, even if the members of <Kim Dok-Ja Company> were in one place….
他一定也知道——即使黑社会和阿斯加德和我们在一起，即使金道子公司的成员在一个地方.....。
….If we clashed directly against them, then someone in our group would definitely die.
如果我们和他们正面冲突，那么我们中的一些人肯定会死。
Suddenly, my perception sped up and time slowed down somewhat.
突然间，我的感知加速了，时间也慢了下来。
⸢Their advancing speed is quicker than I thought.⸥ ⸢Too many Constellations came to their decision too quickly.⸥ ⸢Maybe, I should’ve reached 80 in the Chaos Points first.⸥
他们前进的速度比我想象的要快。太多的星座太快地做出了决定。也许，我应该先在混沌点活到80岁。
Several sentences flitted in and out of my head.
有几句话在我脑海里飞快地闪过。
I recalled the ‘Ways of Survival’. Who should I ask for help if I were to emerge victorious from this situation?
我想起了《生存之道》。如果我从这种情况中获得胜利，我应该向谁寻求帮助？
My adopted parents in the <Underworld>?
我在冥界的养父母？
‘The Great Sage the Equal of Heaven’, who hadn’t participated in the war yet?
“天平大圣”，谁还没有参加过战争？
Or, the Outer God-grade ‘Secretive Plotter’?
还是外神级的“秘密策划者”？
Cheok Jun-Gyeong and the Constellations from the Korean Peninsula?
CheokJun-Gyeong与朝鲜半岛的星座？
Even the faces of my teachers and Jang Ha-Yeong floated up to the fore, too.
甚至连我的老师和张夏勇的面孔也浮现在人们面前。
Especially Jang Ha-Yeong; although I desperately needed help, I thought that it’d be for the best if she didn’t show up.
尤其是张霞琼，虽然我非常需要帮助，但我觉得她不出现是最好的。
[‘Fruit of Good and Evil’ is stimulating your guilty conscience.]
[“善恶之果”刺激着你的罪恶感。]
Maybe, this could be my sense of responsibility. I hoped that Jang Ha-Yeong, born to this world because of me, wouldn’t get swept up in the scenarios. My small wish that she’d get to live her own story in her own terms.
也许，这就是我的责任感。我希望因为我而出生在这个世界上的张夏勇，不要被这些情节所迷惑。我的小小愿望就是她能够按照自己的方式过自己的故事。
The reason why I didn’t advise Jang Ha-Yeong to join <Kim Dok-Ja Company> or reveal the information on the future was that I felt such ambivalent emotions.
我之所以没有建议张夏勇加入金道子公司，也没有透露关于未来的信息，是因为我感到这种矛盾的情绪。
“Aaaahhhhk!”
“啊哈哈哈!”
The ranks of the Reincarnators meeting the enemies at the forefront were collapsing. They screamed as tsunami waves swept them up and tore them apart.
在前线遇到敌人的转世投胎者的队伍正在崩溃。他们尖叫着，海啸把他们卷起来，把他们撕成碎片。
[Die!]
去死吧
Han Su-Yeong looked at the Constellations and Demon Kings rushing at us while spouting trite remarks, and smiled nervously. “Looks like we’re going to win. Those muttering such lines would die the quickest, you see.”
韩素英看着那些星座和妖王，一边滔滔不绝地说着粗俗的话，一边紧张地笑了。“看来我们要赢了。你知道，那些低声念叨这些台词的人死得最快。”
The corners of the companions’ lips twitched energetically at her timely joke.
同伴们的嘴角因为她及时的玩笑而使劲地抽动着。
“Here they come.”
“他们来了。”
Their utterances might have been trite, but their Statuses were certainly not. ‘Good and Evil’ might have been the stalest of Fables in this world, but it was also one of the most powerful, as well.
他们的言论可能是陈词滥调，但他们的身份肯定不是。“善与恶”可能是这个世界上最古老的寓言，但它也是最强大的寓言之一。
The nervousness I felt through my skin was different from all the other battlefields I had experienced so far.
我皮肤上感到的紧张不同于迄今为止我经历过的所有其他战场。
This was all for real.
这一切都是真的。
This was the ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’, and this was the true power of the Constellations.
这就是“圣魔大战”，这就是星座的真正力量。
Kwa-kwakwakwakwa!
夸夸夸夸夸夸夸！
The Status of ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’, seemingly large enough to completely blanket the entire great battlefield; its crashing waves had reached right before our noses in no time at all.
正义和邪恶的状态，似乎大到足以覆盖整个大战场;它的冲击波很快就到达我们的鼻子前面。
300 metres.
300米。
200 metres.
200米。
100 metres.
100米。
Yu Jung-Hyeok spoke. “Now.”
于重赫说，“现在。”
Everyone knew what their roles were. The members of <Kim Dok-Ja Company> unleashed their Statuses simultaneously.
每个人都知道自己的角色是什么，金道子公司的成员同时释放了他们的身份。
[Narrators of Nebula <Kim Dok-Ja Company> have gathered.] [Fable, ‘Demon World’s Spring’, has begun its storytelling!] [Fable, ‘Torch that Swallowed the Myth’, has begun its storytelling!] ‘Demon World’s Spring’ wrapped around us as if to protect us, and ‘Torch that Swallowed the Myth’ began screeching as if it’d rip anyone approaching us to shreds. Still, these two alone wouldn’t be enough to stop them from coming.
[Nebulakimdok-ja公司的解说员聚集在一起][寓言《魔界的春天》已经开始讲故事了!][寓言《吞噬神话的火炬》已经开始讲故事了!]恶魔世界的春天包围着我们，仿佛是为了保护我们，吞噬神话的火炬开始尖叫，仿佛要把任何靠近我们的人撕成碎片。尽管如此，仅仅这两个并不足以阻止他们的到来。
Even if they were the same ‘Great Fables’, the time experienced was different. That enormous gap couldn’t be bridged with the 50 years in Kaixenix Archipelago.
即使他们是同一个伟大的寓言，所经历的时间是不同的。这个巨大的差距无法弥补50年来在开塞尼克斯群岛。
Even then, this was our story.
即使在那时，这也是我们的故事。
30 metres.
30米。
Yi Ji-Hye finished loading the cannons and raised her sword up high.
伊姬惠装好炮弹，把剑举得高高的。
Just as the Dragonhead figurehead began reddening up as the ‘Maritime War God’s’ blessing descended upon us….
就在“海上战神”的祝福降临到我们身上时，龙头雕像的脸开始变红了.....。
“Wait!!”
“等等!”
I stopped Yi Ji-Hye. Her jaw slackened from shock; I reached out and grasped her sword faltering aimlessly in the air. The cannon on the verge of firing withdrew its energy.
我拦住了易智慧。她的下巴因为震惊而松弛下来;我伸出手，毫无目的地在空中握住她的剑。即将开火的大炮收回了它的能量。
“What the hell are you doing, ahjussi?!”
“你在干什么，大叔?!”
Other companions were also surprised by my unexpected action. To think, I’d suddenly interfere when we found ourselves in a situation where we’d surely die even if we struggled with all our might.
其他同伴也对我的意外行动感到惊讶。想想看，当我们发现自己处于一种必死无疑的境地时，即使我们竭尽全力，我也会突然干涉。
Rather than a verbal answer, I pointed towards the opposite side, instead.
我没有口头回答，而是指向另一边。
“Uh?”
“嗯?”
With exactly ten metres to go, the waves of ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’ had come to a standstill as if it was all a lie.
就在还有十米的时候，“善”和“恶”的浪潮停止了，仿佛一切都是谎言。
Tsu-chuchuchuchut!
楚楚楚！
….As if, they were being powerfully restrained by something.
好像他们被什么东西强有力地束缚着。
The faces of Constellations grumbling away and the Demon Kings spewing out choice words could be seen pretty close to us. Some carried dissatisfied expressions, while others looked relieved.
我们可以看到星座的面孔在抱怨，魔王在吐出优美的词汇。一些人表现出不满的神情，而另一些人则显得松了一口气。
“….But, why so suddenly?”
“但是，为什么这么突然?”
I realised the reason pretty soon.
我很快就意识到了原因。
A single Constellation and a single Demon King were floating up above the frozen tsunami wave, that was why.
这就是为什么一个星座和一个魔王漂浮在结冰的海啸波上。
They were Metatron and Agares. Two of the strongest beings in this battlefield had for the first time, unleashed their true voices.
他们是梅塔特隆和阿格雷斯。这个战场上最强大的两个生物，第一次发出了他们真正的声音。
[All Constellations, withdraw your hostilities and return to your positions!] [The battle will be paused for the time being.]
[所有星座，撤回你们的敌对行动，回到你们的位置!][战斗将暂时停止]
I raised my head up towards the air above after hearing their sudden declaration of a cease-fire.
在听到他们突然宣布停火之后，我抬起头向上空望去。
The reason for the cease-fire could be seen etched in that spot.
停火的理由可以在那个地方看到。
[Chaos Points have surpassed 80.]
[混乱点数已经超过80.]
[Countdown to Apocalypse has begun.]
[启示录倒计时已经开始]
*
Chaos Points of 80.
80的混乱点。
It really was a close call, too close for comfort.
这真是千钧一发，太险了。
What saved us wasn’t Constellations or the Demon Kings. No, it was the weakest faction in this battlefield, instead.
拯救我们的不是星座或者魔王，而是这个战场上最弱的一派。
“There must’ve been the cases of the same camps clashing during the Reincarnators dying at the frontline.”
“肯定有过同一个集中营在转世投胎前死在前线时发生冲突的例子。”
Weak ‘Good’ was still ‘Good’, and weak ‘Evil’ was still ‘Evil’. The ‘Good and Evil’ became obsessed only with killing us, and as a consequence of disregarding such ‘weaklings’, it was now on the path towards the apocalypse.
软弱的“善”仍然是“善”，软弱的“邪恶”仍然是“邪恶”。正义与邪恶变得痴迷于杀死我们，作为无视这些懦夫的结果，它现在正走向末日。
[From here on, Chaos Points will rise by one point every thirty minutes.]
[从现在开始，混沌点每三十分钟就会上升一点]
Once the Chaos Points exceeded 80, its rate of increase would speed up. Even if there was no clash from here onwards, it’d continue to climb up, and in exactly ten hours, it’d reach the critical point.
一旦混沌点数超过80，它的增长速度就会加快。即使从这里开始没有冲突，它也会继续爬升，整整十个小时后，它会到达临界点。
In other words, the revival of the Apocalypse Dragon would commence.
换句话说，启示龙的复活将会开始。
[The Most Ancient Calamity at the deepest part of Hell is feeling pleased.]
[在地狱最深处的最古老的灾难是感到高兴。]
One of the absolute worst calamities in the history of the <Star Stream>, the Apocalypse Dragon. Whether it be the ‘Good’ or ‘Evil’ camp, none wanted to see its revival.
星流电影史上绝对最糟糕的灾难之一，《启示之龙》。无论是正义阵营还是邪恶阵营，没有人愿意看到它的复兴。
Once the dragon revives, at least a quarter of all Constellations in the <Star Stream> would die, that was why. Anyone from this battlefield could become part of that quarter.
一旦龙复活，星流中至少四分之一的星座将会死亡，这就是为什么。任何来自这个战场的人都可能成为这个区域的一部分。
[Great battlefield of ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ has come to a temporary standstill.] [Representatives of ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’ are currently in an emergency conference.]
[《圣魔大战》的伟大战场已经暂时停止。][善与恶的代表目前正在召开紧急会议]
And so, that message floating in the air signified both ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’ struggling bitterly in order to survive no matter what.
因此，漂浮在空气中的信息意味着正义和邪恶都在为了生存而苦苦挣扎。
[You have accomplished a feat no one has achieved so far!]
(你完成了迄今为止无人能及的壮举!)
[A Myth-grade Fable is germinating within you!]
[一个神话级别的寓言正在你体内萌芽!]
[Your new Modifier will reflect this Fable.]
[你的新修饰语将反映这个寓言。]
“Chet. I wanted to see how much stronger I got, though.”
“切特，我想看看我变得多强壮了。”
I patted Yi Gil-Yeong’s head as the boy grumbled to himself.
当男孩自言自语的时候，我拍了拍李吉英的头。
We were currently sitting inside the passenger compartment of the battleship, [Turtle Dragon]. Jeong Hui-Won and Shin Yu-Seung were nursing Yi Hyeon-Seong as he lay unmoving like a dead man, while Yi Ji-Hye looked wholly unconvinced by something else.
我们当时正坐在战舰“乌龟龙”号的乘客舱内。郑惠元和申玉升像死人一样一动不动地躺着，正在照料着李贤成，而李智惠看起来完全不相信其他的事情。
“Is this really the end? But, we haven’t even fought for real, though?”
“这真的就是结局吗?但是，我们甚至都没有真正地战斗过，是吗?”
Even though she said that, there was a relieved expression on her face as well.
尽管她这样说，但她脸上也有一种宽慰的表情。
[Constellation, ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’, is congratulating you on your success.] [Constellation, ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’, is feeling apologetic towards you.] “….Uriel? It’ll be fine to speak in your true voice.”
[星座，‘魔鬼般的火之审判者’，祝贺你的成功。][星座，‘魔鬼般的火之审判者’，对你感到抱歉。]“......乌列？用你真实的声音说话是很好的。”
Uriel currently squatting by the corner of the cabin lowered her head towards me. For some reason, I thought I could understand where she was coming from, just a little bit.
乌列尔现在蹲在小屋的角落里，低着头对着我。出于某种原因，我以为我能理解她的想法，只是一点点。
Right now, she felt responsible. The fact that her Nebula had attacked <Kim Dok-Ja Company>, and then, in regards to the things done by those claiming to be ‘Absolute Good’, too.
现在，她觉得自己有责任。事实上，她的星云攻击了金道子公司，然后，关于那些声称是“绝对好”的人所做的事情。
[Constellation, ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’, is looking up at you with tearful eyes.] “You don’t have to worry, Uriel. We don’t hate you. And as for <Eden>…. Honestly speaking, my grievances towards them aren’t much. We’ve received their help before, too.”
[星座，‘魔鬼般的火焰审判者’，正含泪看着你。]“你不必担心，乌列。我们不恨你。至于eden..。老实说，我对他们的不满并不多。我们以前也得到过他们的帮助。”
[Constellation, ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’, asks if you’re telling the truth.]
[星座，‘魔鬼般的火之审判者’，询问你是否说的是实话。]
I was lying.
我在撒谎。
However, it’d only hurt Uriel if I revealed how angry I was.
但是，如果我说出我有多生气，那只会伤害乌列。
[Constellation, ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’, says that the Scribe isn’t such a bad being….] “I also know what kind of a Constellation Metatron is. Please, you should rest for a bit,” I said, before leaving the cabin.
“我也知道梅塔特隆是什么样的星座。“请你休息一会儿，”我说，然后离开了客舱。
[30 minutes have elapsed.]
[30分钟过去了]
[Chaos Points are rising up by one.]
[混乱点正在一点点上升]
[Current Chaos Points: 82]
[当前混乱点:82]
Alongside the messages entering my ears, there it was, a giant grey sphere floating up in the air.
