The dark but warm current of air approached us from behind. Since I knew whose Status that was, a subtle little grin automatically formed on my lips.
黑暗但温暖的气流从后面向我们靠近。因为我知道那是谁的身份,一个微妙的微笑自动在我的嘴唇上形成。
[To make <Underworld> be responsible for the Probability needed for summoning….] “I’m still at an age where I’d like to rely on my parents, you see.”
(让黑社会负责召唤的可能性......)“你知道,我还处在依赖父母的年龄。”
[I heard that youths of the Korean Peninsula become independent early in their lives, but I guess I was wrong.]
(我听说朝鲜半岛的年轻人很早就独立了,但我想我错了。)
I recalled the day I left the relatives’ place for lodging in a hostel. I was seventeen back then.
我回忆起那天我离开亲戚家住在青年旅社,那时我十七岁。
I shrugged my shoulders and smiled. “Well, a young man like myself is needed to keep the balance, you know.”
我耸了耸肩,微笑着说:“你知道,像我这样的年轻人是需要保持平衡的。”
[Constellation, ‘Queen of the Darkest Spring’, has incarnated into the scenario!]
[星座,‘最黑暗的春天的女王’,已经化身到这个场景中了!]
Abruptly, a corner of my heart began tingling just a little. I ended up remembering the empty spots reserved for my parents during school events, back when I was still a student.
突然,我心中的一个角落开始有点刺痛。最后,我想起了学校活动期间留给父母的空位,那时我还是个学生。
I always wondered how my friends felt back then. What did it feel like, having someone fill up those spots, having someone who’d come to you when you called out to them?
我一直想知道当时我的朋友们是怎么想的。有人填补那些空缺,有人在你叫他们的时候来找你,你是什么感觉?
[Constellation, ‘Queen of the Darkest Spring’, has unleashed her Status!]
[星座,‘最黑暗的春天的女王’,释放了她的地位!]
And now, I thought I could finally understand what they felt back then.
现在,我想我终于可以理解他们当时的感受了。
Persephone stood beside me and while looking at Hades blocking the intense wave of heat, spoke. [But, we agreed that it’s my turn to ride Pluto this time… him and his short fuse.]
珀尔塞福涅站在我旁边,望着阻挡热浪的地狱,说道。(但是,我们都同意这次轮到我骑冥王星了......他和他的脾气。)
The heat blocked by Hades spread out like ashes in the air. Perhaps realising that a powerful opponent had appeared, the Apocalypse Dragon strengthened its momentum as well.
被地狱阻挡的热量像灰烬一样在空气中蔓延开来。也许意识到一个强大的对手已经出现,启示龙也加强了它的势头。
Kuwaaaaah-!!
我的神!
Pluto at the far front was getting slowly pushed back as it continued to deal with the intense heat. That made sense, though; Hades was yet to fully unleash his Status.
位于远端的冥王星由于继续遭受高温,正在慢慢地向后推进。不过,这是有道理的;哈迪斯还没有完全释放他的地位。
[Constellation, ‘Father of the Rich Night’, is wobbling as he looks back at his wife.] [I told you that it’d be not possible with you alone, didn’t I?] [Constellation, ‘Father of the Rich Night’, is looking at his wife with an unfortunate expression.]
[《星座》,“富人之夜之父”,在回头看妻子时摇摇晃晃。]我告诉过你,只有你一个人是不可能的,不是吗[“富之夜之父”星座用一种不幸的表情看着他的妻子。]
Judging from the unfolding situation, I could more or less tell what was going on here. On the armour of Pluto, with Hades inside, Fables were wiggling about and going on a rampage.
从不断变化的形势来看,我或多或少可以知道这里发生了什么事。在冥王星的盔甲上,冥王哈迪斯在里面,寓言摇摆着,继续横冲直撞。
[Fable, ‘Listening to One’s Wife Would get you Tteok Even When You’re Asleep’ has begun its storytelling!]
[寓言《倾听妻子的声音即使在你睡着的时候也会让你听懂》已经开始讲故事了!]
Persephone sighed grandly and raised her hands up as if to conduct a concert. And right afterwards, small, musical-note-like objects began floating up from the tips of her fingers.
珀尔塞福涅盛气凌人地叹了口气,举起双手,仿佛要指挥一场音乐会。就在那之后,一些小小的,像音符一样的东西开始从她的指尖漂浮起来。
Like the introduction of a classical piece, the Fable started opening up.
就像一首经典作品的介绍一样,《寓言》开始开放了。
[Constellation, ‘Queen of the Darkest Spring’, is mobilising <Underworld>’s Probability!]
[星座,‘最黑暗之泉的女王’,正在动员黑社会的可能性!]
Hades wasn’t the only ruler of <Underworld>. Indeed, Persephone was not ‘Queen Consort’, but the ‘Queen Regnant’. Meaning, these two possessed an equal amount of shares of <Underworld>.
哈迪斯并不是冥界唯一的统治者。事实上,珀尔塞福涅不是“王后配偶”,而是“王后统治者”。也就是说,这两人拥有同等数量的黑社会股份。
Hades’s attributes were darkness and fire. The guardian of <Olympus>’s night and hell was finally rousing up his true Status.
哈迪斯的属性是黑暗和火焰。奥林匹斯之夜和地狱的守护者终于唤醒了他的真实身份。
[Constellation, ‘Father of the Rich Night’, is unleashing his Status!]
[《星座》,“富之夜之父”,正在释放他的地位!]
For a moment there, an incredible impact force akin to my entire body being smacked around overwhelmed me. I wobbled about, my vision dizzily shaking around, but still, I raised my head to see Pluto standing up there like an incarnation of darkness and fire.
有那么一瞬间,一种难以置信的冲击力把我压垮了,就像我的整个身体被拍打一样。我摇摇晃晃地走着,眼前的景象令人眩晕地晃来晃去,但是,我还是抬起头,看到布鲁托站在那里,就像一个黑暗和火焰的化身。
[Final Scenario’s Constellations are very dissatisfied!]
[最后一种情况的星座非常不满意!]
[Final Scenario’s Constellations are keeping a wary eye on ‘Father of the Rich Night’!] [Final Scenario’s Constellations are complaining about <Underworld>’s interference!] [A high number of Constellations are impressed by the participation of ‘Father of the Rich Night’!]
(最后一幕的星座正在警惕地注视着“富有之夜之父”!)[最后一幕的星座抱怨地下世界的干扰!][许多星座对“富有之夜之父”的参与印象深刻!]
Kwa-kwakwakwakwa!
夸夸夸夸夸夸夸!
Agni from <Vedas> was dead, while the Constellations tasked with dealing with fire from both <Asgard> and <Emperor> had run off quite some time ago. As for Surya, he was using the rays of light from himself to generate something similar to flames and continue his fight that way, but half of his Fable had disintegrated already. This was the power of the Calamity that hundreds of Constellations couldn’t stop.
《吠陀》中的阿格尼已经死了,而负责处理阿斯加德和皇帝火力的星座已经消失很久了。至于苏雅,他利用自己发出的光线产生类似于火焰的东西,并以这种方式继续他的战斗,但他的寓言的一半已经瓦解了。这就是灾难的力量,数以百计的星座无法阻止。
And Hades was blocking that Calamity by himself.
而哈迪斯却独自阻止了这场灾难。
[Hades, hasn’t it been a while since you completely cut loose like this?]
哈迪斯,你是不是有段时间没有像这样完全放松了
Hades roared out, and Persephone continued her vigorous conducting in synch with his roar. Fables flowing out from her hands permeated into Pluto’s entire frame.
冥王哈迪斯咆哮而出,珀尔塞福涅继续着她充满活力的指挥,与他的咆哮同步。从她手中流出的寓言充斥着冥王星的整个画面。
This was the power of <Underworld>, having long been obscured under <Olympus>’s shadow. They were finally proving themselves.
这就是长久以来被奥林匹斯的阴影所掩盖的地下世界的力量,他们终于证明了自己。
[Fable Weapon, ‘Pluto’, is using the Star Relic, ‘Aegis Shield’!]
[神话武器“冥王星”正在使用星际遗迹“宙斯盾”!]
Constellations from <Olympus> also added their powers, as well. Athena lent her own shield, while others sacrificed Probability of their own Great Fables to lend their strengths.
奥林巴斯的星座也增加了它们的威力。雅典娜借出了她自己的盾牌,而其他人牺牲了他们自己伟大寓言的可能性来借出他们的力量。
Up until now, I always thought that the Constellations of the night sky weren’t all that impressive. But then, I realised for the first time ever, today, that my thoughts should change.
直到现在,我一直认为夜空中的星座并不那么令人印象深刻。但是,今天我第一次意识到,我的思想应该改变了。
[Many Constellations are grateful for the King of Underworld’s incarnation.] [The absolute majority of Constellations are respectful of ‘Father of the Rich Night’.] [The absolute majority of Constellations are singing the praises of ‘Queen of the Darkest Spring’!]
许多星座都对冥界之王的化身心怀感激绝大多数的星座都尊敬“富有之夜之父”绝大多数的星座都在歌颂“最黑暗的春天的女王”
Now that I’ve gotten to witness Hades valiantly defending against the destruction of the world, I could truly appreciate what ‘myth’ was for the first time in my life.
现在我已经见证了哈迪斯勇敢地抵抗世界的毁灭,我生平第一次真正体会到什么是神话。
The willingness to risk his life when confronted by the world’s doom; maybe, that was the epic of heroes that the 1st generation of Dokkaebis wanted to show to the Constellations.
面对世界末日,他甘愿冒生命危险;也许,这就是多卡比斯第一代想要向星座展示的英雄史诗。
“Why are you so dazed like that? It’s not over yet, so get your act together.”
“你为什么这么茫然?事情还没有结束,所以你要振作起来。”
I looked back to find Yu Jung-Hyeok and his stiff expression glaring at me. He too had been sacrificing himself for the greater cause. What would he be thinking of right now as he watched Hades?
我回头一看,发现俞正赫和他僵硬的表情在盯着我。他也是为了更伟大的事业而牺牲自己。他现在看着哈迪斯的时候会想些什么呢?
[Hahaha, hey, subway grasshopper man! This is my true power! Keke, kekekeke!]
[哈哈哈,嘿,地铁蚱蜢!这是我真正的力量!可可,可可!]
Kim Nam-Wun’s voice came out from Pluto’s head.
金南文的声音从冥王星的头上传出来。
Ah, so he was also there, wasn’t he.
啊,所以他也在那里,不是吗。
[Constellation, ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’, is enjoying Pluto’s madness.]
[星座,‘深渊黑火龙’,正享受着冥王星的疯狂。]
Yup, definitely a couple from the original storyline…
是的,绝对是一对来自原始故事情节的夫妇..。
[Second Phase will come to an end soon.]
[第二阶段即将结束]
In any case, the current situation was favourable for us. The flames of the intense heatwave decreased at a rapid rate, and Hades was ably defending against that. Pluto’s durability seemed more than enough for the job at hand, and the number of Constellations adding their Probability also was increasing bit by bit.
无论如何,目前的形势对我们是有利的。强烈的热浪的火焰迅速减少,哈迪斯巧妙地防御着这种情况。冥王星的耐久性似乎已经足够完成手头的任务了,增加其概率的星座数量也在一点一点地增加。
How long passed by like that? Finally, the flames of the intense heatwave were extinguished.
这样过了多久?终于,强烈的热浪的火焰被扑灭了。
[Second Phase has concluded.]
[第二阶段已经结束。]
[Congratulations. You have safely negotiated the second shockwave of the ‘First Tail-Flick’!]
[祝贺你,你已经安全地度过了“第一部甩尾电影”的第二次冲击波!]
We were able to withstand this phase, all because everyone worked together.
我们能够经受住这个阶段,都是因为大家一起工作。
If Jeong Hui-Won and Han Su-Yeong didn’t try their best, if Yi Ji-Hye didn’t charge forward with her battleship, if the Underworld’s couple didn’t arrive on time….
如果郑惠媛和韩素妍没有尽力,如果易智慧没有带着她的战舰冲上前去,如果黑社会的夫妇没有按时到达..。
If just one part of that was missing, then we couldn’t have stopped it.
如果只有一部分缺失,那么我们不可能阻止它。
[The absolute majority of Constellations are enjoying this ‘Great Fable’.] [Final Scenario’s Constellations are uncomfortable with this ‘Great Fable’.]
绝大多数的星座都很喜欢这个“伟大的寓言”
Finally, we had managed to survive two out of the three phases.
最后,我们在三个阶段中成功地度过了两个阶段。
All phases of the ‘First Tail-Flick’ needed to be subjugated at the beginning in order to minimise the damage. If this was back in the original story, dozens of Nebulas would have been destroyed by now and at least one-eighth of the sky, crumbled away to oblivion.
“第一次甩尾”的所有阶段都需要在开始的时候被征服,以便将伤害降到最低。如果回到最初的故事,几十个星云现在已经被摧毁了,至少八分之一的天空被毁灭。
And some spare time to get ready for the last phase should be given to us again.
我们应该再给我们一些空闲时间来为最后阶段做准备。
Ku-gugugugu!
咕咕咕咕!
“Dok-Ja-ssi! Over there!”
“Dok-Ja-ssi!在那边!”
I quickly looked back after hearing Jeong Hui-Won’s voice, and discovered something flooding out from the Apocalypse Dragon’s tail.
听到郑慧媛的声音后,我很快回过头来,发现有什么东西从天启龙的尾巴里涌出来。
But, the intense heatwave phase had come to an end already? This couldn’t be.
但是,强烈的热浪期已经结束了?这不可能。
Metatron spoke up as if to put a voice to my thoughts. [It’s a lot quicker than expected.] [Scenario’s Probability is being adjusted due to the entrance of Myth-grade Constellations.] [Scenario’s Probability has increased the phase progression speed.] [‘Third Phase’ will begin in thirty seconds.]
梅塔特隆大声说话,好像要表达我的想法。这比预期的要快得多[由于神话级星座的入口,情景的概率正在调整。][方案的概率增加了相位进展速度。][“第三阶段”将在三十秒后开始。]
As if to stop the start of the phase, Hades used his Status to pressure the Apocalypse Dragon. Even Persephone and other Constellations were looking really concerned right now.
似乎是为了阻止这个阶段的开始,哈迪斯用他的身份向天启龙施压。即使是英仙座和其他星座现在看起来也很担心。
[….My son.]
我的儿子
If the third phase got underway now, then not even Hades would be able to stop it.
如果第三阶段现在开始,那么即使是地狱也无法阻止它。
His attributes were darkness and fire; meaning, he was not a suitable Constellation to defend against the third shockwave.
他的属性是黑暗和火焰;这意味着,他不是一个合适的星座来抵御第三次冲击波。
I asked Metatron. “How long until the seal is complete?”
我问梅塔特隆,“还要多久封印才能完成?”
[I’m not certain if it can be done in time.]
我不确定能否按时完成
A faint trace of despair seemed to have dyed the Archangel’s expression. He must’ve been in the middle of finally realising what he had done.
大天使的表情似乎染上了一丝绝望。他一定是终于意识到自己做了什么。
[I shall buy us time.]
我将为我们争取时间
It was Michael who said that; he had been saving up his Status up until now. Maybe he was stimulated by Hades’s actions earlier, because he began unleashing all of his Status and flapping his wings.
这是迈克尔说的,他一直保存着他的地位,直到现在。也许冥王的行为更早地刺激了他,因为他开始释放他所有的地位,扇动他的翅膀。
He was half ‘Good’ and half ‘Evil’.
他一半是好人,一半是坏人。
Metatron looked at the Fable appearing on Michael’s face and spoke up. [‘Demon King of Salvation’. I’m sure you know this already. The third shockwave can only be resisted by existences possessing the power of ‘Chaos’.]
梅塔特隆看着迈克尔脸上出现的寓言,大声说道。魔王救世主。我相信你已经知道了。第三个冲击波只能被拥有“混乱”力量的存在所抵抗。]
The shockwave began stirring in the distance.
冲击波开始在远处搅动。
The previous two shockwaves we had experienced were, technically speaking, not real ‘shockwaves’, but simply the harbinger of the third wave. What we were about to face off against now was the true ‘First Tail-flick’ itself.
我们之前经历的两次冲击波,从技术上讲,并不是真正的“冲击波”,而只是第三次冲击波的先兆。我们现在要面对的是真正的“第一次甩尾”本身。
Metatron asked. [You also have someone on your side with the power of ‘Chaos’, don’t you?]
梅塔特隆问道。(你也有一个拥有“混沌”力量的人站在你这边,是吗?)
I scanned my companions as well as other Constellations.
我扫视了我的同伴和其他星座。
Honestly speaking, there was no point in doing that. Not even Yu Jung-Hyeok could use the ‘Chaos’ attribute.
老实说,这样做是没有意义的,即使是YuJung-Hyeok也不能使用“混沌”属性。
Because ‘Chaos’ was not an attribute, but more like an anti-attribute, that was why. Now originally, ‘Chaos’ was not a power Constellations or Demon Kings were permitted to enjoy.
因为“混乱”不是一个属性,而更像是一个反属性,这就是为什么。最初,“混沌”不是星座或者魔王可以享受的力量。
[Power of ‘Fruit of Good and Evil’ is wiggling inside you.]
[“善恶之果”的力量在你体内摇摆。]
But then, I was both a Constellation and a Demon King, an existence that couldn’t be categorised as either.
但是,我既是一个星座,又是一个魔王,一个不能被归类为任何一种的存在。
A Demon King who had consumed the ‘Fruit of Good and Evil’.
一个魔王,他吃掉了“善恶之果”。
[It should be possible with you.]
对你来说应该是可能的
I nodded my head.
我点了点头。
The nature of ‘Chaos’ was disorder. If it was me who went against the order of both, it’d be possible to go up against the power of Chaos, too.
混乱的本质是无序的。如果是我违背了这两者的秩序,那么我也有可能违背混乱的力量。
It was then, someone grasped my shoulder.
就在这时,有人抓住了我的肩膀。
“I can also do this.”
“我也能做到这一点。”
“Hui-Won-ssi?”
「许媛诗?」
I saw the Ring of Chaos within Jeong Hui-Won’s eyes. Her hair, now bleached pure white, slowly danced upwards under the mysterious and ominous aura.
我在郑慧媛的眼睛里看到了混沌之戒。她的头发,现在已经变成了纯白色,在神秘而不祥的气氛下,慢慢地向上舞动着。
I instantly realised what she had awakened as.
我立刻意识到她刚刚醒来的时候。
“Very well. Let’s give it a shot.”
“很好,我们试试吧。”
I then looked up into the sky.
然后我抬头仰望天空。
Actually, I had been searching for a certain Constellation’s presence in the night sky for a while now, but unfortunately, I couldn’t sense it. If that guy helped us out, we’d be able to overcome this somehow. I even had a plan in mind for that, too….
实际上,我已经在夜空中寻找某个星座的存在有一段时间了,但不幸的是,我没有感觉到它。如果那个家伙帮助我们,我们就能克服这个问题。我甚至还有个计划。
