李贤成重复了他的日常任务，继续保护没有人的基地。他在固定的时间醒来，点名，做军事体操例行公事。在那之后，他结束了训练，开始了他的日常工作。
However, he had no more things to do now. He even finished pulling out all the weeds found in the base yesterday.
然而，他现在没有更多的事情可做了。昨天他甚至把基地里发现的杂草都拔光了。
"….The book report."
”...读书报告”
He belatedly recalled Kim Dok-Ja's words.
他姗姗来迟地回忆起金道子的话。
He was told to write a report. To read a book, and write his report on it.
他被要求写一份报告，读一本书，然后写一份报告。
Yi Hyeon-Seong went up to the barracks' library. As if to let the world know that Kim Dok-Ja used to be here, there was a pile of books gathered up on that spot.
李贤成来到营房的图书馆。仿佛是为了让世界知道金道子曾经在这里，那个地方堆了一堆书。
He reached out to the book on top of that pile, all the while sensing this strange feeling. The book itself was a familiar one.
他伸手去拿那堆书上面的书，一直感觉到这种奇怪的感觉。这本书本身就是一本我们熟悉的书。
⸢The Wizard of Oz, ver. 999⸥
绿野仙踪，ver.999
Even he had heard of this book's name from somewhere. However, he had never read it before. Yi Hyeon-Seong flipped the cover open and began reading the first sentence.
甚至他也从某处听说过这本书的名字。然而，他以前从来没有读过这本书。李贤成翻开封面，开始读第一句话。
⸢The tin soldier was scared of having a heart.⸥
锡士兵害怕自己有良心
A tin soldier, was it? It must've been the Wizard of Oz's protagonist. He continued to flip through the pages.
一个锡士兵，是吗?那一定是绿野仙踪的主角。他继续翻着书页。
⸢The first comrade the tin soldier met was a really scary man. The tin soldier called him 'Captain'.⸥
锡士兵遇到的第一个同志是一个非常可怕的人，锡士兵叫他“上尉”
The moment he read that line, his head pulsed in pain. Captain?
当他读到这句话的时候，他的头痛得直打哆嗦，上尉？
⸢The tin soldier then became comrades with a beautiful angel. When that angel became angry, she'd often morph into a devil.⸥
这个锡士兵和一个美丽的天使成为了同志。当那个天使生气的时候，她常常会变成一个魔鬼。
For some reason, his heart ached when he read those lines.
由于某种原因，当他读到这些话时，他的心在作痛。
⸢The tin soldier became comrades with a warrior wearing thick armour. The warrior used his own sword to test out the tin soldier's strength now and then.⸥
这个锡士兵和一个穿着厚盔甲的战士成了同志。战士时不时地用自己的剑来测试锡兵的力量。
Why, why did it feel like this description would come to life right before his eyes at any second?
为什么，为什么感觉这段描述会随时出现在他眼前？
⸢The tin soldier became comrades with a dragon spitting out fearsome flames. The dragon sometimes acted like a nuisance, too.⸥
锡士兵和一条喷出可怕火焰的龙成为了战友，这条龙有时候也很讨厌
But, I've never met an existence like that before?
但是，我以前从来没有遇到过这样的存在？
⸢And then, a demon king coming from another world stole away what was most precious to them.⸥
然后，一个来自另一个世界的魔王偷走了他们最珍贵的东西
Every time he read a sentence, all sorts of chaotic scenes and screams flitted in and out of his vision. He was unfamiliar with those spectacles. Even then, Yi Hyeon-Seong's entire body shivered.
每当他读到一句话，各种混乱的场面和尖叫声就会在他的视野中掠过。他不熟悉那副眼镜。就在那时，李贤成的整个身体都在颤抖。
He couldn't understand it. He didn't get what this story was about.
他不能理解，他不知道这个故事是关于什么的。
He simply didn't get what the author was trying to convey.
他只是没有明白作者想要表达的意思。
Worse still, he couldn't understand why tears were welling up in his eyes.
更糟糕的是，他不能理解为什么眼泪在他的眼睛里涌出。
⸢And at the end of this story, the tin soldier realised what the aching in his heart was.⸥
在这个故事的结尾，锡士兵意识到他的心痛是什么
⸢That aching eventually became his heart.⸥
那种疼痛最终成了他的心
As soon as he read that line, Yi Hyeon-Seong recalled it.
李贤成一看到这句话，就想起来了。
I too once had comrades like them.
我也曾有过像他们这样的同志。
⸢"I'd love to hear your story, Hyeon-Seong-ssi, when all these tragedies come to an end and our stories are no longer treated as scenarios."⸥
“我很想听听你的故事，贤成思，当所有这些悲剧走到尽头，我们的故事不再被当作情节来看待时。”
The first comrade was a polite and warm person. Everyone followed his lead.
第一个同志是个有礼貌和热情的人，大家都跟着他走。
⸢"Until then, everyone being safe is the utmost priority."⸥
“在那之前，每个人的安全都是头等大事。”
The second comrade was a kind person. Everyone believed her words to be correct.
第二个同志是个好人，大家都相信她的话。
⸢"No, hang on. It's more important that everyone survives, even at the cost of one person. Of course, that 'one person' must be Kim Dok-Ja. That fool knows how to come back from being dead, anyway."⸥
“不，等一下。更重要的是每个人都能活下来，即使牺牲了一个人。当然，那个“一个人”一定是金道子。不管怎样，那个傻瓜知道如何从死亡中复活。”
The third comrade was a wise person. Everyone thought that the strategies she cooked up will succeed.
第三个同志是个聪明人，大家都认为她的策略会成功。
⸢"No one will die. Leave this place to me and go."⸥
“没有人会死，把这个地方留给我，然后离开。”
The fourth comrade was a powerful person. Everyone could entrust their backs to him.
第四个同志是个有权有势的人，每个人都可以把自己交托给他。
⸢"You know, Mister Hyeon-Seong. If I ever forget about you, then…"⸥
“你知道，贤成先生。如果我忘记了你，那么......”
And, the fifth comrade was…
第五个同志是..。
⸢"….Then, please kill me."⸥
“那么，请杀了我吧。”
His memories were coming back to him. Slowly, so very slowly, his heart began beating. So slowly, yet with a distinctive feeling, each beat did its very best to emphasize that they were hurting this way, that this was where such ache existed.
他的记忆又回来了。慢慢地，慢慢地，他的心脏开始跳动。如此缓慢，然而带着一种独特的感觉，每一个节拍都尽力强调他们正在以这种方式伤害，这就是这种疼痛存在的地方。
How could he have ever forgotten about them?
他怎么可能忘记他们呢？
Yi Hyeon-Seong clenched his fists, his body shivering away. He shouldn't be in this place.
李贤成握紧拳头，浑身发抖，他不应该在这个地方。
He looked up at the skies outside the windows. The cracks of the skies had covered the entirety of the heavens by now. It became rather clear where his companions had gone off to.
他抬头望着窗外的天空。现在天空的裂缝已经覆盖了整个天空。他的同伴们去哪儿了，这一点变得相当清楚了。
They went away to protect this world he was stuck in. All the while facing off against the calamities that measly North Korea couldn't even compare to.
他们离开是为了保护他所处的这个世界。与此同时，他们还要面对可怜的朝鲜所无法比拟的灾难。
⸢Yi Hyeon-Seong thought to himself. 'Do I possess such powers?'⸥
李贤成心想:“我有这样的能力吗?”
[Constellation, 'Master of Steel', is looking at you.]
[《星座》，《钢铁大师》，正在看着你。]
His Sponsor was now looking at him.
他的赞助人现在正看着他。
Tsu-chut, tsu-chuchuchut!!
楚楚，楚楚!！
However, something felt different from before. It must've been his Sponsor, yet there was a slight, vague difference in the gaze he sensed.
然而，感觉和以前不一样了。那一定是他的赞助人，但是他感觉到的目光有一点模糊的不同。
[Constellation, 'Master of Steel' asks if you're hurting.]
[《星座》，《钢铁大师》问你是否受伤。]
Yi Hyeon-Seong nodded his head.
李贤成点了点头。
⸢This emotion, this heart, I wish to protect it.⸥
这种情感，这颗心，我希望保护它
He was scared. Scared of forgetting this moment again, scared of his heart stop beating again. Scared of everything freezing up within the cold silvery light.
他很害怕。害怕再次忘记这一刻，害怕自己的心再次停止跳动。害怕一切都冻结在冰冷的银光里。
It was then, his Sponsor spoke to him. [[You can protect it.]]
就在那时，他的赞助人对他说。[你可以保护它。]
His voice resembled forged steel, tempered for tens of thousands of years.
他的声音就像锻造的钢铁，经过了几万年的锻炼。
[[However, you may end up in agony for all eternity as the consequences of failing to protect it.]] "Even then, it's fine. It's better than not even having a chance to protect them."
[然而，你可能会因为没有保护它而永远处于痛苦之中]“即便如此，也没关系。这总比没有机会保护他们要好。”
He was only familiar with the things he had lost already. The important part was about not losing them again.
他只熟悉他已经失去的东西，重要的是不要再失去它们。
[[Your name is the Emperor of Steelsword.]]
你的名字是Steelsword的皇帝
He saw the barbed wire fences in the distance crumble away. The world of manuals he had been protecting was disappearing.
他看到远处的带刺铁丝网倒塌了。他一直在保护的手册世界正在消失。
Yi Hyeon-Seong stepped forward, towards his own story.
李贤成走上前去，面对自己的故事。
*
"Dok-Ja-ssi."
“ Dok-Ja-ssi。”
We were currently protecting the crumbling <Oz>.
我们当时正在保护摇摇欲坠的奥兹国。
With the decline of the Fables of the Master of Steel, and the ⸢the Wizard of Oz⸥, <Oz>'s anti-air defence system was crumbling down.
随着《钢铁大师》和《绿野仙踪的衰落，奥兹国的防空系统崩溃了。
I could see hundreds of battleships surrounding Oz. We shared our strength and protected the planet with a hole in it from that armada.
我可以看到数百艘战舰围绕在奥兹国周围。我们分享我们的力量，保护这个星球，在它上面留下一个洞，使它免受那支舰队的攻击。
Even then, we were reaching our limit.
即使在那时，我们已经达到了极限。
The other side relied mainly on the long-range attacks from their ships. The only methods we had of defending against that effectively were Yi Ji-Hye's [Turtle Dragon], and Shin Yu-Seung's [Chimera Dragon].
另一方主要依靠来自他们船只的远程攻击。我们唯一有效的防御方法是易智慧的[龟龙]和申玉升的[奇美拉龙]。
The problem here was that neither Yi Ji-Hye's vessel and Shin Yu-Seung's dragon had fully recovered from the damages incurred during the 'Great War of Saints and Demons'.
这里的问题是，李智惠的船和申玉升的龙都没有从“圣魔大战”中受到的损失中完全恢复过来。
We originally came here to address that issue, but this… "The anti-air defence will be rendered powerless soon!"
我们最初来到这里是为了解决这个问题，但是这个......“防空防御很快就会变得无能为力!”
We got ready for the final showdown.
我们为最后的决战做好了准备。
Jeong Hui-Won asked. "Still can't contact any other Constellations?"
郑慧媛问道:“还是联系不上其他星座吗?”
"Something bad must've happened."
“肯定发生了什么不好的事情。”
It was likely that these guys attacking us were involved in that.
这些攻击我们的家伙很可能参与其中。
Han Su-Yeong grumbled loudly. "You really aren't going to regret this? Should we really be doing this?"
韩素英大声抱怨道:“你真的不会后悔吗?我们真的应该这么做吗?”
I nodded my head. "Yi Hyeon-Seong always fought for us in the frontlines. It's our turn to repay that debt."
我点了点头。“李贤成总是在前线为我们而战。现在轮到我们来偿还这笔债了。”
My companions agreed with me.
我的同伴同意我的看法。
Yu Jung-Hyeok was currently on top of the tallest building on the planet, while Jeong Hui-Won was emitting powerful Status that didn't lose out to anyone, her resolve firm, unwavering.
俞正赫目前是世界上最高的建筑，而郑惠媛则显示出强大的地位，没有输给任何人，她的决心坚定不移。
⸢We'll believe in Yi Hyeon-Seong.⸥
我们会相信李宪成
I wasn't sure exactly how much time we could buy here. Just that, I could only pray it was enough for Yi Hyeon-Seong.
我不确定我们能在这里争取到多少时间。就这样，我只能祈祷这对李贤成来说足够了。
"Incoming!"
“来了!”
Ka-boooooom!!
咔嚓!！
Hundreds of battleships in the distance spat out flames simultaneously. Magical shells, their numbers more than enough to utterly decimate a planet in its entirety, rained down.
远处数百艘战舰同时喷出火焰。魔法外壳----它们的数量足以彻底摧毁一个星球----像雨点般倾泻而下。
We unleashed all of our Statuses. We needed to withstand this wave of attack no matter what.
我们释放了我们所有的国家，无论如何我们都要抵挡住这一波攻击。
After gathering all of our magical…
在收集了我们所有的魔法..。
Right next moment.
就在下一刻。
A vast silvery light suddenly enveloped the whole world.
一道巨大的银光突然笼罩了整个世界。
The enormous protective barrier made out of Fable metal spread out among the heavens. Through the semi-transparent barrier, I saw the shells of the battleships powerlessly explode on the outside.
用寓言金属做成的巨大的保护屏障在天空中蔓延开来。透过半透明的屏障，我看到战舰的炮弹在外面无力地爆炸。
"Being left alone in a place like that was not a happy experience, you know."
“你知道，被单独留在那样的地方不是什么愉快的经历。”
This was not the Fable of ⸢the Wizard of Oz⸥. No, it was a new type of Fable, with a somewhat different origin.
这不是绿野仙踪的寓言。不，它是一种新类型的寓言，有点不同的起源。
⸢In that world, he was referred to as the Emperor of Steelsword.⸥
在那个世界里，他被称为Steelsword的皇帝
Kwa-kwakwakwa!!
夸夸夸夸!！
Chills ran down my spine.
我脊背发凉。
Steam covered the entire planet. Metals spreading out like a giant tree's branches began blanketing the surface of the planet itself.
蒸汽覆盖了整个行星。金属像巨大的树枝一样散开，开始覆盖行星表面。
This was the hardest material found in <Star Stream>, the only Fable metal capable of dealing with the Myth-grade Constellation's frightening weapons.
这是在星流中发现的最硬的材料，也是唯一能够处理神话级星座的可怕武器的寓言金属。
[A large number of Constellations are astonished by the scale of this Fable!]
[大量的星座被这个寓言的规模惊呆了!]
And here it was, the Stigma powerful enough to completely envelop a planet with that metal. That was the anti-air defence system that the planet <Oz> proudly boasted, the [Last Steel].
就是这样，柱头强大到足以用这种金属完全包裹一个星球。这就是奥兹星球骄傲地吹嘘的防空系统，[最后的钢铁]。
"Captain Yi Hyeon-Seong from the Giant Monsters Special Command, reporting."
“巨怪特别指挥部的李贤成队长报告。”
The man I was familiar with, blessed a height taller than Yu Jung-Hyeok's, and boasting the sturdiest body.
我所熟悉的那个人，祝福他身高比余重赫还要高，而且他的身体也很结实。
"I have been discharged from the active service today."
“我今天已经退出现役了。”
Stars of the skies could be seen staggering back now.
现在可以看到天空中的星星摇摇晃晃地回来了。
[Constellations from Nebula <Papyrus> are astonished by the revival of the 'Master of Steel'!]
[来自纸莎草星云的星座对“钢铁大师”的复活感到惊讶!]
And now, it was the time for the counterattack.
现在是反击的时候了。
