Metatron scanned the desolate, ruined conference venue. Demon Kings and Archangels wielding their respective weapons up until a short while ago were all lying still on the floor.
梅塔特隆扫视着这个荒凉破败的会场。直到不久前，魔王和大天使还在挥舞着各自的武器，静静地躺在地板上。
The Fable of Good and Evil was scattering away.
善与恶的寓言正在散去。
The effects of the Chaos Points that broke past the critical point were now invading into the grey sphere.
冲破临界点的混沌点的影响现在正侵入灰色的球体。
One of the Angels still conscious reached out towards him.
其中一个还有意识的天使向他伸出了手。
[Scribe….]
[抄写员...]
Along with 'Peo-geo-geok!', Michael's heel smashed that Angel's head into meat paste. He kicked the dead Angel away, before pulling out an Archangel the size of a small child hidden inside its robe.
还有“Peo-geo-geok!”迈克尔的脚后跟把安吉尔的脑袋砸成了肉酱。他把死去的天使踢开，然后把藏在袍子里的一个小孩大小的天使长拉了出来。
The unconscious Archangel dangled in Michael's hand as she was brought up in the air.
不省人事的大天使在米迦勒的手中摇晃着，她被带到空中。
[Should I kill Raphael as well? It's a bit of a waste to let her go like this….] [If that's what you want. It doesn't matter if you let her live. The Chaos Points have been filled to the maximum already, anyway.] [Well, in that case, what about that Demon King?]
我也应该杀了拉斐尔吗？就这样让她走有点浪费......如果这就是你想要的。你是否让她活着并不重要。无论如何，混沌点已经被填满了那么，那个恶魔之王呢
Metatron shifted his gaze over to the corner of the sphere, where a heated battle was still taking place. Agares and his heavily-wounded body were there.
梅塔特隆把目光转向球体的角落，那里仍在进行着激烈的战斗。阿加雷斯和他受重伤的身体也在那里。
Asmodeus and other 'Seekers of the End' were pouring out coordinated attacks on him, but Demon King Agares didn't show any signs of collapsing, even though Fables streamed down from all over his body, even though his two eyes burned in resentment like a dreadful phantom.
阿斯莫德斯和其他‘末日探索者’正在向他发动协同攻击，但是恶魔王阿加雷斯并没有显示出任何倒下的迹象，尽管寓言从他身上流下来，尽管他的两只眼睛像一个可怕的幽灵一样燃烧着愤恨。
While stuck inside the deadly battle, the Demon King continued to suck on his cigarette. Not just one, but several of them, in fact.
在这场致命的战斗中，魔王继续吸着他的香烟。事实上，不只是一个，而是几个。
[Stigma, 'One Ciggie for Prodigious Strength Lv. ?', is in activation.] [Stigma, 'One Ciggie for Agility Lv. ?', is in activation.] [Stigma, 'One Ciggie for Magic Power Lv. ?', is in activation.]
一支香烟代表惊人的力量。 ?'，是在激活一支给敏捷Lv的香烟。 ?'，是在激活一支香烟送给魔力四。 ?'，是在激活
That was Agares's Stigma, [Universal Cigarette], at work. Its speciality, developed after living as a smoker for a very long time. A unique Stigma for the Demon King that possessed the Fable to overclock the Incarnation Body's abilities.
这是阿加雷斯的耻辱，[通用香烟]，在起作用。其特殊性是在长期吸烟后形成的。恶魔王独一无二的耻辱，拥有神话中的道成肉身的超能力。
Even after receiving the combined attacks of five, six Demon Kings, Agares remained standing, prompting Asmodeus to say something in admiration. [As expected, the renown of the 'Ruler of East Hell' wasn't for nothing, I see. However, how long will you be able to hold on like this?]
即使在遭受了五六个恶魔国王的联合攻击后，阿加雷斯依然屹立不倒，这使得阿斯莫德斯说了一些令人钦佩的话。不出所料，这位“东地狱的统治者”的名声不是没有意义的，我明白了。但是，你能像这样坚持多久呢?]
Agares didn't reply, simply choosing to pull out a new cigarette and light it up.
阿加雷斯没有回答，只是选择拿出一支新的香烟点燃它。
Metatron and Michael crossed the now-dead battlefield and approached the Demon King.
梅塔特隆和迈克尔穿过现在已经死亡的战场，接近了魔王。
Agares spoke. [Metatron, you better think again. You won't be able to protect the 'Good and Evil' in this fashion. What meaning is there in being remembered after everyone has perished ] [As long as it's remembered, it shall revive again sometime in the future.]
阿加雷斯说。梅塔特隆，你最好再想想。你不能用这种方式来保护善与恶。在每个人都死去之后被人们记住有什么意义?]只要它被记住，它将在未来的某个时候再次复活
[Revive? Like your accursed Corrupted Angel?]
[复活?就像你那个被诅咒的堕落天使?]
Michael frowned deeply.
迈克尔深深地皱了皱眉。
[Demon King, 'King of Corrupted Angels', is unleashing its Status!]
[魔王，堕落天使之王，正在释放它的地位!]
Michael's Status crashed in like a surging storm, causing Agares to back away while losing more of his Fables. However, the Demon King's gaze was still firmly fixed on Metatron.
迈克尔的状态崩溃在年像一个汹涌的风暴，造成阿加勒斯后退，同时失去了更多他的寓言。然而，魔王的目光仍然紧盯着Metatron。
[What point is there in trying to carry on like that? That is not us. We reviving in that manner will no longer be 'Metatron' or 'Agares', but merely the 'Scribe of Heaven' and the 'Ruler of East Hell'!] [That is precisely what we are, oh, 'Ruler of East Hell'.]
那样继续下去有什么意义呢？那不是我们。我们以这种方式复兴将不再是“梅塔特隆”或“阿格雷斯”，而仅仅是“天堂的抄写员”和“东方地狱的统治者”!][这正是我们的身份，哦，东方地狱的统治者。]
A certain everlasting Fable was now flowing behind Metatron's back - Fables that he had read, lived, and believed in.
一个确定的永恒的寓言现在流动在后面梅塔特隆的背后-寓言，他已经阅读，生活，并相信。
[The Most Ancient Good is smiling widely.]
[最古老的善在广泛地微笑。]
This was the 'Scribe of Heaven', the one who recorded the 'Good' of the world. An existence who judged what was 'Good', and would become its leading standard.
这就是“天堂的抄写员”，他记录了世界的“好”。一个判断什么是“好”的存在，并将成为它的主导标准。
While looking at his oldest rival, Agares too sensed the Fable unhurriedly flowing next to him.
当看着他的老对手时，阿加雷斯也感觉到了这则寓言不慌不忙地流向他的身边。
[The Most Ancient Evil is tilting its head.]
[最古老的邪恶歪着头]
That was the immeasurably lengthy history of 'Evil' he had pursued so far - a history of resisting the 'Good', eliminated by it, and being punished for it.
这就是他迄今为止所追求的“邪恶”的无限漫长的历史——一段抵制“善”、被“善”消灭并因此受到惩罚的历史。
At that moment, Agares sensed that the thousands of years of his life were now being summarised into a single comma.
那一刻，阿加雷斯感觉到他生命中的几千年现在被概括成了一个逗号。
This 'flow' would not end here as long as the 'Ruler of East Hell' was alive, and the 'Scribe of Heaven' continued to exist. As long as they fought against each other, and repeated their wars over and over again.
只要“东方地狱的统治者”还活着，并且“天堂的抄写员”继续存在，这种“流动”就不会在这里结束。只要他们互相争斗，一次又一次地重复他们的战争。
Even if Metatron and Agares were killed, someone else would become the 'Scribe of Heaven' and 'Ruler of East Hell'.
即使梅塔特隆和阿格雷斯被杀死，也会有其他人成为“天堂的抄写员”和“东地狱的统治者”。
[If such a thing is 'Good and Evil', then….]
如果这样的事情是“善与恶”，那么.....
Agares spat his phlegm on the floor and formed a bitter grin.
阿加雷斯把痰吐在地板上，苦笑起来。
[….I shall give up on 'Evil'.]
我将放弃“邪恶”这个词
A cigarette flew up from Agares's fingers. It spun in the air while emitting dense smoke.
一支香烟从Agares的手指间飞了出来，在空中旋转着，冒出浓烟。
Asmodeus hurriedly shouted out. [Stop him!]
阿斯莫德斯急忙喊道。[拦住他!]
The swirling, spinning smoke enveloped Agares's entire body.
旋转的烟雾笼罩着阿加雷斯的整个身体。
[Stigma, 'One Ciggie for Cowardice Lv. ?', is activating!]
[耻辱，‘给怯懦者一支香烟，Lv ’，正在激活!]
Greyish, murky smoke exploded as the attacks rained down.
随着袭击事件的不断发生，灰暗的浓烟爆炸了。
The smoke dissipated, and the only thing remaining on the spot was a single cigarette. The 'Seekers of the End' had no choice but to withdraw their weapons in bitterness.
烟雾消散了，现场只剩下一支烟。“末日探索者”别无选择，只能痛苦地收回他们的武器。
Metatron looked at the discarded cigarette on the floor. Thick smoke swirled in the air from its tip.
梅塔特隆看着地板上丢弃的香烟，从烟嘴冒出的浓烟在空中盘旋。
His enemy was gone, and only the 'Good' remained. Was this a sense of loneliness, or a type of freedom he felt? Metatron couldn't tell.
他的敌人已经消失了，只剩下好人。这是一种孤独感，还是一种自由感？梅塔特隆看不出来。
Someone trampled on the dying bud and killed it off.
有人踩死了濒死的蓓蕾，把它杀死了。
[The Most Ancient Evil is closely observing the new 'Evil'.]
最古老的邪恶正在密切观察新的“邪恶”
He raised his head to find Asmodeus grinning primly towards him. [What a miss that was. I was thinking of taking over Agares's 'Wall', you see.]
他抬起头来，发现阿斯莫德斯正朝他咧着嘴笑。真是个失误。我在考虑接管阿加雷斯的“长城”，你知道。]
Metatron looked at the Demon King and replied. [You'll soon possess it.]
梅塔特隆看了看魔王，回答道:“你很快就会得到它的。”
Whatever the case might have been, the intended purpose had been accomplished now.
无论情况如何，预期的目的现在已经达到了。
[Current Chaos Points: 100]
[当前混乱点数:100]
The Chaos Points were now maxed out, and the Apocalypse Dragon had entered the revival sequence. And soon, the apocalypse would begin.
混沌点现在已经达到了最大值，而启示龙已经进入了复兴的序列。很快，世界末日就要来临了。
[Conference venue is disintegrating.]
[会议场地正在瓦解。]
The grey sphere wrapped around the conference venue crumbled away bit by bit, and the corpses of the Archangels fell to the ground below.
包裹着会场的灰色球体一点一点地消失了，大天使的尸体倒在了下面的地上。
Asmodeus asked a question, seemingly enjoying that spectacle in the meantime. [By the way, will this really be alright?]
阿斯莫德斯问了一个问题，似乎同时也很享受这种景象。(顺便问一句，这真的没问题吗?)
Metatron remained silent. Time to argue whether it'd be alright or not had long passed by already. He watched the angels falling, and provided the most textbook-like reply he could think of.
梅塔特隆保持沉默。是时候争论一下这是否已经过去很久了。他看着天使们坠落，用他能想到的最教科书式的回答答道。
[Everything is according to the will of 'Good'. In order to reach the most ideal ■■…..]
(一切都是按照“善”的意志进行的。为了达到最理想的境界■......)
'■■.'
■
The dearest wish of all Constellations, as well as where the story of a star would come to an end.
所有星座的最大愿望，以及星星的故事将在哪里结束。
Asmodeus spoke. [■■…. It seems that all Constellations that seek it end up becoming quite similar to each other. You really do resemble someone I know. Your dispositions are completely opposite of one another, though.]
阿斯莫德斯说。■..。似乎所有寻找它的星座最终都变得非常相似。你真的很像我认识的一个人。不过，你们的性格完全相反
Just before Metatron could ask who that was, he heard the Dragon's Howling tearing through the sky.
就在梅塔特隆问那是谁之前，他听到了龙的嚎叫撕裂了天空。
Guwaaaaahh-!!
嘎嘎嘎！
Dragons, easily numbering well past several thousand, were freely roaming around the skies to wage a bloody war. Explosions rang out seemingly endlessly. Dragons and their torn wings were crashing back to the earth.
龙，很容易数量超过几千，自由漫步在天空发动一场血腥的战争。爆炸声似乎没有尽头。龙和它们撕裂的翅膀正在坠落回地。
This was not the spectacle Metatron expected to see.
这不是梅塔特隆期望看到的奇观。
….The Apocalypse Dragon hasn't revived yet?
天启之龙还没复活吗？
[What are you so surprised about? We aren't the only ones pursuing ■■, after all.]
(你们有什么好惊讶的?毕竟，我们不是唯一追求■■的人。)
Asmodeus stared back at a certain man looking up at them from the ground and grinned brightly.
阿斯莫德斯回头看着一个人，他从地上抬头看着他们，笑得很开心。
*
[Constellation, 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon', is roaring out!]
[星座，‘深渊黑焰龙’正在咆哮!]
The Black Flame Dragon was indeed strong.
黑焰龙的确很强大。
It rose up like a meteor while ripping apart dozens of Dragons blanketing the sky, and announced its presence through the display of its mighty Status.
它像流星一样升起，撕裂了覆盖天空的几十条龙，并通过它强大的地位显示它的存在。
As expected from one of the strongest Constellations in the 'Ways of Survival'.
正如《生存之道》中最强大的星座之一所预料的那样。
Han Su-Yeong became excited as her sponsor went on a rampage and shouted out while waving her bandages around. "I'm proud of you for the first time ever, Black Flame Dragon!! Kill them all!!"
韩素英(HanSu-Yeong)看到赞助商横冲直撞，兴奋不已，一边大喊一边挥舞着绷带。“我第一次为你感到骄傲，黑火龙！杀光他们!”
"Be strong, Chimera Dragon!"
“坚强点，奇美拉龙!”
Shin Yu-Seung tightly clasped her own hands and looked up at the sky with an ardent look on her face.
申玉升紧握双手，仰望天空，脸上洋溢着热情。
[Abyssal Black Flame Dragon's sense of presence is strengthening!]
[深海黑焰龙的存在感正在增强!]
[Chimera Dragon's sense of presence is strengthening!]
[奇美拉龙的存在感正在加强!]
Every time Black Flame Dragon and Chimera Dragon defeated their opponents, their statuses (ED: normal usage. Not Statuses) also rose up higher. Seeing their spirited battle, even my heart felt like it was pounding away powerfully, too.
每次黑焰龙和奇美拉龙击败他们的对手，他们的状态(ED:正常使用。不是状态)也上升得更高。看着他们激烈的战斗，甚至我的心也感到猛烈地跳动。
After studying the Dragons for a little while, I signalled Yu Jung-Hyeok with my eyes.
在研究了一会儿《龙》之后，我用眼睛给予了余正赫一个信号。
"Got it."
“明白了。”
He replied to my gaze and along with our other companions, made their move. His job now was to get in touch with the Nebulas near us before the Apocalypse Dragon made its move.
他回答了我的注视，和我们的其他同伴一起，采取了行动。他现在的工作就是在天启龙开始行动之前与我们附近的星云取得联系。
And I too had something to do in the meantime as well. I observed each of the Dragons flying in the air and thought to myself.
同时我也有些事情要做。我看到每一条巨龙在空中飞翔，心里想着。
This wouldn't be the first time the Apocalypse Dragon had revived. It was quite likely that the previous 'Apocalypse Dragon' was also among the ranks of the Dragons overhead.
这不是天启龙第一次复活了。很有可能之前的“启示龙”也在头顶上的龙的队伍之中。
[Several Dragon Kings have sensed your presence.]
[好几个龙王已经感觉到你的存在。]
"Damn it."
“该死。”
Kuwaaaaaah!!
我的神!！
I reflexively activated [Lightning Transformation] and defended against the Dragon Breath. A few Dragon Kings glared in my direction, but then, flew away again while tilting their heads. It was as if they had seen something rather strange.
我条件反射地激活[闪电转换]并防御龙息。几个龙王朝我的方向瞪了一眼，然后又飞走了，抬起头来。好像他们看到了什么相当奇怪的东西。
….What was up with them? Not to mention, I wasn't even a Dragon.
他们是怎么回事?更不用说我还不是一条龙。
But then, I heard a certain message.
但是后来，我听到了一个特定的信息。
[You are eligible to enter the 'Dragon's Festival'.]
[你有资格参加’端午节’。]
….What?!
什么?！
[Will you enter the 'Dragon's Festival'?]
你会参加“端午节”吗
My head temporarily blanked out after that message suddenly floated up to my view.
听到这个消息突然浮现在我的脑海里，我的脑子暂时一片空白。
No, hang on a minute. I might be a Constellation, but I was definitely not a Dragon, so how come such a message…..
不，等一下。我可能是一个星座，但我绝对不是一条龙，所以为什么这样的信息..。
"Why aren't you participating in the proceedings?"
“你为什么不参加诉讼?”
….Just when did this guy get this close to my side?
这家伙什么时候离我这么近了？
I raised my guard up and turned towards the voice's origin.
我提高警惕，转向声音的来源。
A remarkably beautiful humanoid, whose gender was indecipherable, stood there. Its hair shone in a bright reddish colour; I couldn't sense any powerful Status from it, but still, its outer appearance did possess a certain, unexplainable mystical aura.
一个非常漂亮的人形生物站在那里，她的性别难以辨认。它的头发闪耀着明亮的红色，我无法从它身上感受到任何强大的地位，但是它的外表确实具有某种无法解释的神秘光环。
….A Reincarnator?
...一个转世？
Could be.
有可能。
This island was home to a tiny number of truly powerful beings who were hiding their powers, like Yu Ho-Seung, the 'One Invincible Fist'.
这个岛屿是少数真正强大的生物的家园，他们隐藏了自己的力量，像YuHo-Seung，一个无敌的拳头。
"I asked you why you haven't participated yet."
“我问你为什么还没有参加。”
"I'm not sure what you mean, but I lack the qualification to do so."
“我不明白你的意思，但我没有资格这样做。”
"Why not? Do you not possess the heart of a Dragon?"
