The moment the shelling began, I grabbed Yi Ji-Hye. It felt as if the entire world had us in its crosshairs. Our ship quickly turned its heading. I could only pray that she wasn't too late.
炮击一开始，我就抓住了伊吉赫。感觉好像整个世界都在瞄准我们。我们的船很快调转了航向。我只能祈祷她没有来得太晚。
[[Fire.]]
[火]
Kwa-aaaaaaaah!!
哇-啊!！
The ear-rending cacophony of cannon firing noises filled up the entire great ocean. Foams around us evaporated into steam. With almost no room left, the [Turtle Dragon] managed to turn around in time. Even then, we couldn't dodge everything.
大炮发射的刺耳的噪音充满了整个大海。我们周围的泡沫蒸发成蒸汽。龟龙几乎没有空间了，只好及时转身。即便如此，我们也不能逃避一切。
"Hyeon-Seong-ssi!"
“贤成思!”
As the acrid burning smell filled up our noses, the Fable metal quickly branched out and covered up the entirety of the deck. Soon, it covered the entire hull and started glowing in white-hot heat. So hot, in fact, one's skin would be cooked instantly. As the impact force on the outer layer of the metal decreased, Yi Hyeon-Seong undid the [Steel Transformation].
当刺鼻的燃烧气味充满我们的鼻子时，寓言牌金属迅速扩散开来，覆盖了整个甲板。很快，它覆盖了整个船体，并开始在白热的热量发光。如此烫手，事实上，一个人的皮肤可以立即煮熟。随着对金属外层冲击力的减小，YiHyeon-Seong解除了[钢的相变]。
When we saw the sky again, we realised that our ship was falling to the bottom as if the ground beneath had disappeared. I quickly activated [Demon King Transformation], spread out my wings, and shouted out.
当我们再次看到天空时，我们意识到我们的船正在下沉，就好像下面的地面已经消失了。我迅速启动了[魔王变形]，展开翅膀，大声喊道。
"Yi Ji-Hye!!"
“易智慧!”
She hurriedly grabbed the helm and controlled the movement of the ship. Flames lit up below the hull and the [Turtle Dragon] began flying.
她急忙抓住舵柄，控制着船的移动。火焰在船体下面燃烧起来，[乌龟龙]开始飞翔。
Only after securing our balance were we able to take stock of our surroundings. Just what the hell happened here….?
只有在确保了我们的平衡之后，我们才能对周围的环境进行评估。这里到底发生了什么......？
⸢And then, Kim Dok-Ja couldn't close his slack jaw.⸥
然后，金道子无法闭上他松弛的下巴
A ship in the middle of the ocean suddenly fell to the ground - meaning, the water supporting that ship had disappeared.
一艘船在大洋中间突然掉到地上——意思是，支撑那艘船的水消失了。
Ku-gugugugu!
咕咕咕咕！
The great ocean had been split in half and its deep, dark bottom was now fully exposed. Aquatic creatures were flapping around painfully down there, and we could see the horde of 'Outer Gods' gleefully tearing into those helpless creatures.
巨大的海洋被分成了两半，它那又深又黑的底部现在完全暴露出来了。水生生物在下面痛苦地拍打着翅膀，我们可以看到“外界之神”的部落兴高采烈地撕咬着这些无助的生物。
[Gyahaaaaaah!]
[ gyahaaaaaaah! ]
The swarm of Outer Gods were running on the bottom of the ocean, their bodies wriggling like worms. From either side of the now-dry ocean, the huge tsunami waves were flooding in.
外界诸神的蜂群在海底奔跑，他们的身体像蠕虫一样蠕动。巨大的海啸波从现在已经干涸的海洋两岸涌入。
"Move! Hurry!"
“走!快点!”
I shouted out and Yi Ji-Hye urgently turned the ship around again.
我喊了出来，易智慧急忙把船调头。
[[Load the cannons]].
[装载大炮]。
It was then that we heard the noises of cannons being loaded for the second time. Just hearing that true voice alone instilled fear deep into the very marrows of our bones.
就在这时，我们第二次听到了装炮的声音。仅仅是听到这个真实的声音就会让恐惧深深地渗入我们的骨髓。
I raised my head and saw Yi Hyeon-Seong sweating buckets as well. Even if it was the [Fable metal], it wouldn't be able to withstand attacks of such calibre too many times.
我抬起头，看见李贤成也在汗流浃背。即使它是[寓言金属]，它也不能承受这种级别的攻击太多次。
"Ahjussi! Do something!"
“大叔!做点什么!”
I was planning to act, anyway.
不管怎样，我本来就打算演戏的。
I finished my crappy construction effort on the [The White Flag of Complete Surrender] and raised it up high.
我在[完全投降的白旗]上完成了我蹩脚的建设工作，并把它升得很高。
[Item, 'The White Flag of Complete Surrender', is activating!] [Now your enemies should be able to spot your complete surrender from even afar!] [A portion of Constellations are shocked by your action!] [A small number of Constellations are pointing accusatory fingers at your cowardice!]
[项目，‘完全投降的白旗’，正在激活!][现在你的敌人应该能够发现你的完全投降，甚至从远处!](一部分星座对你的行为感到震惊!)(少数星座指责你的懦弱!)
Cowardice, my foot. You haven't even bothered to show up here.
胆小鬼，我的脚。你甚至没有在这里出现。
I used all of my strength to wave this white flag around.
我用尽全身力气挥舞着这面白旗。
"Yi Ji-Hye! Over here!"
“YiJi-Hye!在这里!”
I called out, yet no reply came back my way.
我喊了一声，但是没有回音。
No, the one to tackle me down figuratively was our own Yi Ji-Hye, instead. "Ahjussi, have you gone insane "
不，打倒我的人是我们自己的艺智慧，“大叔，你疯了吗?”
"It might not look it, but this item is an SSS-grade."
“看起来可能不像，但这件东西是sss级的。”
"There's no guarantee of us surviving just because we surrendered, you know!"
“你知道，我们不能保证仅仅因为投降就能活下来!”
"Well, Yi Ji-Hye on that side could be a kind girl. Let's believe in that."
“好吧，那边的易智慧可能是个好女孩，让我们相信这一点吧。”
"How can you crack jokes in this kind of situation "
“在这种情况下，你怎么能开玩笑呢?”
Unfortunately, I wasn't joking.
不幸的是，我不是在开玩笑。
The cannons finished reloading and just as they began emitting light, I diligently waved my white flag and shouted out my prepared speech. "Oiii, Yi Ji-Hye! Did your master teach you to attack the opponents waving white flags "
大炮重新装填完毕，就在它们开始发光的时候，我勤奋地挥舞着白旗，大声喊出我准备好的讲话。“哎呀，伊智慧！你的老师教过你攻击挥舞白旗的对手吗?”
Ku-gu…..
古古..。
And then, that side stopped moving for the first time ever. The fully-loaded cannons had stopped just before they could fire. The thick, grey steam dissipated to reveal a lone figure standing on the deck.
然后，那一边有史以来第一次停止了移动。装满子弹的大炮还没来得及开火就停了下来。厚厚的灰色蒸汽消散了，露出甲板上孤零零的一个人影。
It was the Outer God, the 'Master of the Sunken Island'.
这是外神，沉没岛屿的主人。
Yi Ji-Hye from the 999th turn was standing there, her long hair dancing in the wind.
伊姬惠从999转身就站在那里，她的长发在风中翩翩起舞。
Even though she had lived an unaccountable amount of time, her looks were still in the 20s. It was as if her time had frozen still in the moments of the 999th regression turn's 'Conclusion'.
尽管她活了很长一段时间，但她看起来还是20多岁。就好像她的时间在第999次回归转折的“结论”时刻停滞了。
As if she wanted to count the emptiness of that time, her lips began parting slowly.
仿佛她想数数那段空虚的时光，她的嘴唇开始慢慢地分开。
[[Flag…..]]
[[旗帜...]
"That's right, this flag. You remember it?"
“没错，这面旗子，你还记得吗?”
Old pages were flipping past within me. Scenes from the 999th turn were being replayed - the intense stench of blood, the eerie darkness of the subway…
旧的书页在我心中翻动。第999个转弯的场景被重新播放——强烈的血腥味，地铁令人毛骨悚然的黑暗..。

[Your words have awoken the ancient Fable within your opponent!] ⸢Within that darkness stood Yu Jung-Hyeok.⸥
[你的话唤醒了你对手心中的古老寓言!]在那黑暗之中站着的是俞正赫
Sparks burst out from the shattered, broken headlights of the train; the light flickering intermittently illuminated Yu Jung-Hyeok's sword slaughtering the monsters.
火车破碎的前灯迸发出火花，余正赫的剑断断续续地照亮了那些怪物。
⸢On that day, the wounded Sword Demon met the Conquering King.⸥
就在那一天，受伤的剑魔遇到了征服者国王
The Sword Demon shuddered after seeing his sword easily rip through the enemies she had so much trouble fighting until then. Yi Ji-Hye shouted out, her eyes chasing after the sword's trajectory that seemed to disappear in pure disinterest.
剑魔看到自己的剑轻而易举地刺穿敌人后战栗不已，在那之前她一直很难与之战斗。易智慧喊了出来，她的眼睛追逐着剑的轨迹，似乎完全失去了兴趣。
⸢"If I follow after you, can I become stronger, too? Then, will I be able to survive in this stinking world?!"⸥
“如果我追随你，我也能变得更强大吗？那么，我还能在这个臭气熏天的世界生存吗?”
Tsu-chuchuchuchut!
楚楚楚！
Sparks danced violently before my eyes. The vicious storm of Probability's aftermath was so powerful that I couldn't even see my front properly.
火星在我眼前激烈地跳动着。概率的后果的恶性风暴是如此强大，我甚至不能看到我的前面正确。
The incoming aquatic creatures and 'Outer Gods' targeting us got sucked into the sparks and writhed in pain.
来袭的水生生物和“外界诸神”以我们为目标，被吸入火花中，痛苦地扭动着。
[Whatsthiswhatsthiswhatsthiswhatsthis]
[这些这些这些这些这些这些这些这些]
'Outer Gods' turned to look at their 'King'. However, their king was no longer standing there. As if she was lost within the distant memories, the 999th turn's Yi Ji-Hye was reaching out towards the empty air.
“外界诸神”转身看着他们的“国王”。然而，他们的国王不再站在那里。仿佛她迷失在遥远的记忆中，第999个转弯的易智慧向空气伸出了手。
[[Mas…. ter….]]
马......特......]
As I thought.
和我想的一样。
I got this impression the first time I met the 'Secretive Plotter' as well as 999th turn's Uriel, that… These people, they were clearly out of their minds.
我第一次见到“秘密策划者”以及第999回合的乌列尔时就有这样的印象......这些人，他们显然是疯了。
[Character, 'Master of the Sunken Island', is painfully baring her teeth.]
[“沉没岛屿的主人”这个角色痛苦地露出了牙齿。]
When an existence became an 'Outer God', normally this being would end up as a completely different existence. It'd lose the memories of the life it lived and be reborn as a brand new creature.
当一个存在变成一个“外在的上帝”时，通常这个存在最终会变成一个完全不同的存在。它会失去对生活的记忆，然后重生为一个全新的生物。
However, that was the story reserved for the regular 'Outer Gods'; 'Kings' played by different rules. They retained the memories and emotions of their previous lives.
然而，这个故事保留给了普通的“外神”，即由不同规则演奏的“国王”。他们保留着前世的记忆和情感。
The 'Secretive Plotter' divided his Fable into different regression turns and stored them that way, while the 'Living Flame' shoved her own sense of self into her vengeful obsession.
“神秘的密谋者”把他的寓言分成不同的回归转折，并以这种方式存储，而“活的火焰”把她自己的自我意识推进了她的复仇心理。
In that case, what was it like for the 'Master of the Sunken Island'?
在那种情况下，沉没岛屿的主人是什么样子的？
Was she able to remember who she used to be?
她还记得以前的自己吗？
"Yi Ji-Hye! Please remember who you once were!"
“易智慧!请记住你曾经是谁!”
I wasn't sure why the 999th turn's Yi Ji-Hye became an 'Outer God'. However, I could think of one possibility.
