[Every Constellation in the <Star Stream> has detected the existence of the Calamity!] [Many Constellations have fallen into a state of fear!]
[星流中的每个星座都探测到了这场灾难的存在!][许多星座已经陷入恐惧的状态!]
As the surrounding atmosphere transformed rapidly, Constellations enjoying the cease-fire all began repeatedly roaring out as well as speaking in their true voices. Some were panicking grandly, wondering what was going on here; some sensed the Status of the Calamity and became scared; some Constellations began lodging inquiries to the Bureau, hoping to escape from this scenario.
随着周围的气氛迅速转变,享受停火的星座开始反复咆哮,并用它们真实的声音说话。一些人惊慌失措,不知道这里发生了什么;一些人感觉到了灾难的现状,开始感到害怕;一些星座开始向调查局提出询问,希望能逃离这种情况。
The bitter struggles of the stars trying to survive turned the battlefield into pure pandemonium in no time at all.
明星们为了生存而进行的艰苦斗争使战场瞬间变成了一片混乱。
[The Bureau of the Star Stream is responding to the emergency situation!]
[星流局正在对紧急情况做出回应!]
Finally, the Bureau was stepping forward.
最后,调查局向前迈进了一步。
Seeing that the messages regarding Constellations had decreased by a whole lot quite rapidly just then, it seemed that the Bureau also found the current situation rather concerning as well.
看到当时有关星座的信息迅速减少,主席团似乎也发现目前的情况相当令人担忧。
[The Bureau of the Star Stream has begun an internal meeting on the applicable issue.]
[星流主席团已开始就适用问题举行内部会议。]
It was quite likely that even the Bureau didn't expect this 'Great War of Saints and Demons' to become this big.
很有可能,即使是fbi也没有预料到这场“圣恶大战”会变得这么大。
Well, from the get-go, the 'Chaos Points' were simply added in as the extra spice for the sake of speedy progress of the 'Great War of Saints and Demons'. But then, that extra points system had surpassed the Good/Evil Points, and it was even trying to awaken the Apocalypse Dragon now.
好吧,从一开始,“混沌点”就被简单地作为额外的香料添加进来,以加快“圣魔大战”的进程。但是后来,这个额外加分系统已经超越了善恶点,它甚至试图唤醒现在的启示龙。
If that Dragon did wake up, then countless Constellations would end up getting killed. In other words, it'd be the same thing as the number of the Bureau's customers declining rather precipitously.
如果那条龙真的醒来了,那么无数的星座将最终被杀死。换句话说,这和局里的客户数量急剧下降是一回事。
[Even if the Bureau steps forward, they won't be able to revert the calamity, as if it never happened in the first place.]
[即使调查局挺身而出,他们也无法扭转这场灾难,就好像它从未发生过一样。]
I agreed with Surya's assertion.
我同意苏雅的说法。
We were in the 80th main scenario. Even if this was the Bureau, they wouldn't be able to cancel the 'Great Fable'.
我们处在第80个主要方案中。即使这是调查局,他们也不能取消这个伟大的寓言。
So, now wasn't the time to place our faith in their potential response.
所以,现在不是我们相信他们潜在反应的时候。
"In order for the Apocalypse Dragon to wake up, the Chaos Points need to rise up by another 10."
“为了让天启之龙苏醒,混沌点需要再上升10点。”
Although it wasn't a lot, we still had some time.
虽然不是很多,但我们还有一些时间。
If we failed to prevent the release of the Apocalypse Dragon, then there was a very good chance that my companions would be killed here.
如果我们没能阻止天启龙的释放,那么我的同伴很有可能在这里被杀死。
What should I do to prevent that from happening?
我应该做些什么来防止这种情况发生?
Of course, I could immediately come up with a method to do that - eliminate the source behind the rise in the Chaos Points.
当然,我可以立即想出一个方法来做到这一点-消除源背后的上升,在混沌点。
The problem was that the source was hidden inside that 'sphere'.
问题是源头隐藏在那个“球体”里。
Tsu-chuchuchuchut….!
Tsu-chuchuchuchut... !
"Even if it's a 'Seeker of the End', it shouldn't be able to hold on for long inside there."
“即使它是一个‘末日探索者’,它也不可能在那里坚持太久。”
Through the 'Ways of Survival', I knew who was on the list of the 'Seekers of the End'. No one on that list was capable of lasting for a long time while inside that sphere.
通过“生存之道”,我知道了谁在“末日探索者”的名单上。名单上的任何一个人都不可能在那个空间里呆很长时间。
Not only were Metatron and Agares were in there, but the highest-grade Constellations in this world were with them, too.
不仅梅塔特隆和阿格雷斯在里面,而且世界上最高级的星座也在里面。
Even if they were to take their time, Archangels and Demon Kings should've discovered the 'Seeker of the End' and killed it by now. With that, Chaos Points should stop rising up….
即使他们慢慢来,大天使和恶魔国王也应该已经发现了“末日探索者”并杀死了它。有了这个,混沌点应该停止上升..。
[Members from the same camp have clashed!]
[同一阵营的成员发生了冲突!]
[Current Chaos Points: 91]
[当前混乱点:91]
It was around at that time that sparks exploded in the air. The sphere violently shook around before a portion of its side faintly spread open, and something began falling from there.
大约就在那个时候,火花在空中爆炸了。球体猛烈地晃动了一圈,然后一边的一部分微弱地张开,有东西开始从那里掉下来。
There were six torn wings visible on her back; it was an Archangel I knew well.
她的背上有六只撕裂的翅膀,这是一个我很熟悉的大天使。
I activated [Way of the Wind] and flew up in haste.
我启动了[风之路],匆忙飞了起来。
The body of the Archangel I caught was quite light. A certain fragrance wafted into my nose; Fables were falling like flower petals from the deep wound running across her back.
我抓到的大天使的身体相当轻。一股清香飘进我的鼻子;寓言像花瓣一样从深深的伤口飘落在她的背上。
"Gabriel."
“加布里尔。”
[Constellation, 'Lily Blooming on Aquarius', is looking at you.]
[星座,‘百合花在宝瓶座上绽放’,正在看着你。]
She was the Archangel Gabriel, who had experienced the 1863rd turn with me before coming back home; the Constellation who fell into a deep pit of shock after learning that she'd betray <Eden> in the future.
她是大天使加百列,在回家之前和我一起经历了第1863次转变;星座在得知她将在未来背叛伊甸园后陷入了深深的震惊之中。
I momentarily wondered if she was the reason for the unfolding crisis, but I knew that couldn't be the case; even in the original story, there was a very good reason to her betrayal, and technically speaking, you couldn't even really call what she did a betrayal, either.
我一时想知道她是否是危机蔓延的原因,但我知道不可能是这样的;即使在最初的故事中,她的背叛也有一个很好的理由,严格来说,你甚至不能说她的所作所为是背叛。
Gabriel's lips moved with great difficulty. It was hard to hear her voice.
加布里埃尔的嘴唇好不容易动了一下,很难听到她的声音。
I pressed her for an answer. "What happened in there? Please talk to me."
我催促她回答:“里面发生了什么事?请告诉我。”
She looked up at my face with fatigued eyes, but then, handed something over to me. It was her Fable.
她抬起疲惫的眼睛看着我的脸,然后递给我一样东西,那是她的寓言。
Her trembling lips moved. Her voice couldn't be heard, but I could definitely understand the words being conveyed.
她颤抖的嘴唇动了动,她的声音听不见,但我能明确地听懂她在说什么。
⸢Please, save <Eden>.⸥
求你了,救救伊登
Gabriel's Fable began telling its story.
加布里埃尔的寓言开始讲述它的故事。
*
Metatron looked at the Angels lining up by his sides, as well as the Demon Kings standing on his opposite side one at a time. They all seemed to be anxious. Also, their expressions displayed their failure at understanding how they arrived at their current situation.
梅塔特隆看着站在他身边的天使,以及站在他对面的恶魔国王。他们似乎都很焦虑。而且,他们的表情表明他们没有理解他们是如何到达现在的处境的。
In the middle of all those faces, the oldest rival to Metatron could be seen.
在这些面孔中间,可以看到梅塔特隆最古老的竞争对手。
[To think that we'd be in this place because of a single Nebula. How absurd.]
[想想我们会在这个地方就因为一个星云。多荒谬啊。]
It was the master of the 2nd Demon World, the 'Ruler of the East Hell'.
它是第二恶魔世界的主人,东方地狱的统治者。
While lighting up a thick cigarette, Agares asked his question. [How will we decide on the victors and losers? Will we enter the 3rd 'Great War of Saints and Demons' right away? Honestly speaking, I'm against it. Gathering this much Probability again would be next to impossible, after all.]
点燃一支厚厚的香烟时,阿加雷斯问了他的问题。我们将如何决定胜利者和失败者?我们会马上进入第三次“圣恶大战”吗?老实说,我反对这样做。毕竟,再次收集这么多的可能性几乎是不可能的
To start this 'Great War of Saints and Demons', both <Eden> and the Demon World had to swallow huge losses.
为了开始这场圣恶大战,伊甸园和恶魔世界都不得不吞下巨大的损失。
Even among all the 'Great Fables' of the <Star Stream>, the 'Great War of Saints and Demons' boasted an unparalleled scale. If this scenario ended in annulment, then the 'Fable of Good and Evil' they barely managed to scrounge up would scatter again, and both the 'Good' and the 'Evil' could end up on the road to extinction.
即使在所有星流的“伟大寓言”中,“圣魔大战”也有着无与伦比的规模。如果这种情况以废除告终,那么他们勉强得到的善与恶的寓言将再次分散,善与恶都可能走向灭亡。
Metatron looked up at the outside sky, faintly visible through the grey sphere. Flashes of lightning could be seen within the dark, gloomy clouds ominously gathering above them. Was it because of the end-of-the-world type vibe? He abruptly recalled an event that had taken place a long time ago.
梅塔特隆仰望着外面的天空,透过灰色的球体隐约可见。在他们头顶上聚集的乌云中,可以看到一道道闪电。是因为世界末日那样的氛围吗?他突然想起了很久以前发生的一件事。
[Agares. It's already been several thousands of years since the master of the 1st Demon World had passed on.] [I don't have the time to leisurely reminisce about the past with you.]
阿加雷斯。从第一个魔界的主人去世到现在已经有几千年的历史了我没有时间和你一起悠闲地回忆过去
[Do you still remember that day?]
你还记得那天吗
[It was the day I inherited this abominable 'wall', so how could I have forgotten it?]
[那天我继承了这道可恶的‘墙’,所以我怎么会忘记它呢?]
['Wall that divides Good and Evil' is growling.]
[“分清善恶的墙”在咆哮。]
Ominous sparks danced around Agares's Incarnation Body. When that happened, a similar phenomenon happened around Metaron's Incarnation Body, as well.
不祥的火花在阿加雷斯的化身身周围飞舞,当这种情况发生时,类似的现象也发生在Metaron的化身身周围。
['Wall that divides Good and Evil' is falling into a reminiscence of the past.]
“分善恶的墙”正陷入对过去的回忆之中
A wall that was one but at the same time, two. A fragment of the Final Wall, that decided the 'Good' and the 'Evil' of the world.
一堵同时是一堵又是两堵的墙。最后一道墙的一个碎片,决定了世界的“善”和“恶”。
With that wall in the middle, the representatives of <Eden> and the Demon World were staring at each other.
围墙中间,伊甸园和恶魔世界的代表正对视着。
[For a long time, you and I decided on the 'Good and Evil' of this world, didn't we?]
很长一段时间,你和我决定了这个世界的“善与恶”,不是吗
Just what was 'Good'?
什么是‘好’?
Even Metatron, the leader of <Eden>, didn't have the answer to that question. Because, 'Good' was simply a collection of countless Fables, that was why.
即使是伊甸园的领袖梅塔特隆也没有这个问题的答案。因为,《善良》只是无数寓言的集合,这就是为什么。
He read the Fables of his predecessors, figured them out, and learned about 'Good' that way. And those 'Good', rather than explaining themselves, simply pointed to other Fables and spoke like this, instead.
他阅读了他的前辈们的寓言,理解了他们,并通过这种方式学到了“好”。而那些“好”,不是解释他们自己,而是简单地指向其他寓言,像这样说话。
⸢That is not 'Good'.⸥
这可不是什么好事
And that was how 'Evil' was created.
邪恶就是这样产生的。
'Jeong-ui' (Justice, 正義) had morphed into 'Jeong-ui' (To define, 定義), and along with that, 'anger' had been invented.
“Jeong-ui”(Justice,something)演变成“Jeong-ui”(Todefine,somethingsomething),随之而来的是“anger”的发明。
⸢And therefore, we are not 'Evil'.⸥
因此,我们不是邪恶的
That was how 'Good' was created.
这就是‘好’是如何产生的。
That simply dichotomy had managed to tear the <Star Stream> in half.
这种简单的二分法成功地将《星流》撕成了两半。
The simpler and more unyielding the principle, the stronger its ability to spread out. Countless Constellations jumped on the bandwagon of the principle of 'Good' and 'Evil'.
原则越简单,越坚定,它的传播能力就越强。数不清的星座追随着善恶原则的浪潮。
[You probably have no idea. No idea about how boring it can get, trying to exist as 'Evil' in this world.] Agares breathed out the cigarette smoke and continued on. [It was you who forced the 'Good and Evil' into this state. You erased the particulars of 'Evil', and you also spread that damn 'promotion of virtue and disapproval of vice' like some kind of a plague. Indeed, you bastard, are the original culprit who managed to break the Fable of 'Good and Evil'.]
你可能不知道。不知道这会有多无聊,试图以“邪恶”的身份存在于这个世界。]阿加雷斯吐出香烟的烟雾,继续往前走。是你把“善与恶”逼到这个地步的。你抹去了‘邪恶’的细节,你还像传播瘟疫一样散布那该死的‘提升美德和反对邪恶’。事实上,你这个混蛋,就是打破了“善恶寓言”的罪魁祸首。]
It didn't really matter what kind of minute details, or whether sadness and pain existed within the scenario. What did matter, however, was the conclusion.
什么样的细节并不重要,悲伤和痛苦是否存在于这个场景中也不重要。然而,真正重要的是结论。
The 'Good' judged and punished the 'Evil'. That was enough for the others to shed grateful tears and clap their hands. Without a doubt, such a time did exist.
正义判断和惩罚邪恶。这足以让其他人流下感激的眼泪,拍拍手。毫无疑问,这样的时代确实存在。
Metatron spoke up. [But, you also agreed to do that, didn't you?] [Back then, that was the only way for us to survive.]
梅塔特隆大声说道。但是,你也同意这么做,不是吗[那时,那是我们生存的唯一方法。]
The 'Good' stayed alive by punishing the 'Evil', while the 'Evil' continued to exist by resisting against the 'Good'.
“善”通过惩罚“恶”而活着,而“恶”则通过反抗“善”而继续存在。
And so, tens of thousands of years passed by like that. The division between 'Good and Evil' became blurry, and justice/definition had disappeared. The 'Good and Evil' ended up becoming a concept of bored old men.
就这样,数万年就这样过去了。善与恶的界限变得模糊,正义/定义也消失了。“善与恶”最终变成了一个无聊老人的概念。
No one welcomed the idea of 'promoting virtue and disapproving vice' any more.
没有人再欢迎“扬善扬恶”的想法了。
Drop.
放下。
Agares dropped the cigarette he'd been smoking on the floor, and as if he was stepping on an insect, squashed it to kill it.
阿加雷斯把他一直在抽的香烟掉在地上,好像踩到了一只昆虫,把它压扁了杀死它。
[Through the repetition of the scenarios, the 'Good' has become a source of stuffy boredom, while the 'Evil' has become an antiquated cliché. I have to wonder, maybe it's about time that we stop with this foolishness.]
[通过重复这些场景,‘好’变成了乏味乏味的来源,而‘邪恶’则变成了陈词滥调。我不得不怀疑,也许是时候停止这种愚蠢的行为了
Agares's words prompted the Demon Kings to pull out all of their weapons.
阿加雷斯的话促使魔王们拿出了他们所有的武器。
Metatron spoke again. [If we fight here, then everyone will perish together.] ['Evil' has always been easier than 'Good'. Even if you all disappear, we will still remain.] [The world forgetting about 'Good' does not mean I have forgotten mine.] [Then, prove it.] Agares's eyes began burning up. [We will no longer be the plaything of the 'promotion of virtue and disapproval of vice' any more. I am 'Evil'. I was born 'Evil', and proving that you exist used to be the reason for my existence. And from today onwards, I shall break free from that reason.]
梅塔特隆又开口了。如果我们在这里战斗,那么所有人都会死在一起“邪恶”总是比“善良”容易。即使你们都消失了,我们仍将存在世界忘记了“好”并不意味着我忘记了我的那就证明给我看阿加雷斯的眼睛开始发热。我们不再是“扬善扬恶”的玩物。我是邪恶的。我天生邪恶,证明你的存在曾经是我存在的理由。从今天开始,我将从这个理由中解脱出来
The Demon Kings all roared out in unison. Their Statuses overflowed as if to sweep away every Archangel present at any given moment.
恶魔之王们齐声咆哮。他们的身份泛滥,仿佛在任何特定的时刻席卷每一个大天使。
But, right at that moment….
但就在那一刻..。
