⸢From the beginning, it was impossible to win this fight with a frontal assault.⸥
从一开始，用正面进攻赢得这场战斗是不可能的
If they got serious and activated the calamity's Probability with everything they had, then this scenario would've ended just as it started. Back in the original novel, there were a few planets that responded naively to their 'Great Apocalypse' and ended up getting destroyed, instead.
如果他们认真起来，用他们所有的一切激活灾难概率，那么这种情况就会像它开始时一样结束。回到最初的小说，有几个星球天真地回应了他们的“大启示录”，结果却被摧毁了。
[A large number of Constellations that dislike you are dissatisfied with the current situation!] [A portion of Constellations are opposing against the scenario's illogical development!]
[大量不喜欢你的星座对现状不满意!][一部分星座反对这个场景不合逻辑的发展!]
The Constellations were probably anticipating a spectacle of their hated <Kim Dok-Ja Company> meeting a tragic end alongside Earth.
星座们可能期待着他们讨厌的金道子公司在地球旁边遭遇悲剧性的结局。
Unfortunately, the 'Outer God Kings' didn't do that.
不幸的是，外神之王并没有这样做。
At least, not for now, anyway.
至少，至少现在不会。
- Kim Dok-Ja, what's next?
-KimDok-Ja，接下来是什么？
Han Su-Yeong sidled up to my right and asked in a tense voice.
韩素英侧身走到我的右边，用紧张的声音问道。
- To be honest, even I don't know.
-说实话，连我都不知道。
- Wha
什么？
- This is as far as my plan goes.
我的计划就是这样。
As if to imply her thoughts of 'What crap are you talking about', her face was dyed in the colours of pure astonishment.
好像在暗示她在想“你在说什么废话”，她的脸上染上了纯粹惊讶的颜色。
- Hey, you. You can't be…..
嘿，你，你不能..。
- Right now, we can only believe.
现在我们只能相信。
That must've come across as irresponsible. However, there was no other choice. This was the best plan I could come up with, and it also happened to be the only way to lead this event towards the correct conclusion.
这肯定给人不负责任的印象。然而，没有其他选择。这是我能想到的最好的计划，也恰好是引导这次活动走向正确结局的唯一途径。
I abruptly recalled what the 1863rd turn's Han Su-Yeong had told me.
我突然想起1863转弯的韩素英告诉我的话。
⸢"I believe in the characters I've created. That's all."⸥
“我相信我创造的角色，仅此而已。”
I could just about understand where she was coming from now. And that's why I replied like this.
我现在几乎可以理解她是从哪里来的，这就是为什么我这样回答的原因。
- I thought that I can only believe in these people who were like teachers to me - these individuals that I had read about.
我认为我只能相信那些对我来说就像老师的人，那些我曾经读到过的人。
I trusted the 'Ways of Survival'. Not the author responsible, no, but the characters that appeared within its pages.
我相信《生存之道》，不是作者的责任，而是书页中出现的人物。
[The 'Living Flame' is looking at you.]
“生命之火”正在看着你
Uriel, more righteous than anyone else out there.
乌列，比任何人都正直。
[The 'King of Silverlight Heart' is looking at you.]
[“银光之心之王”在看着你。]
The kind and honest Yi Hyeon-Seong.
善良诚实的李贤成。
[The 'Master of the Sunken Island' is looking at you.]
[沉没岛屿的主人在看着你。]
Yi Ji-Hye possessing a lot of affection.
伊基赫有很多感情。
[Constellation, 'Secretive Plotter', is looking at you.]
[Constellation，‘SecretivePlotter’，正在看着你。]
Yu Jung-Hyeok, who never knelt down in defeat no matter how unfair things became.
无论事情变得多么不公平，他从不在失败中跪下。
I believed in them. I believed in their histories that helped the young me grow.
我相信他们，相信他们帮助我成长的历史。
I believed that their worth would never be tarnished no matter how much time had passed by.
我相信他们的价值永远不会被玷污，无论过去了多少时间。
The 999th turn's Uriel opened her mouth. Although, she wasn't talking to me. [[Yi Hyeon-Seong, you said that we might get to see the end in this world-line, the one we failed to see before.]]
第999轮的乌列开口了。虽然她不是在和我说话。[李贤成，你说过我们可能会看到世界末日，我们以前没有看到的世界末日]
[[That's correct, Uriel.]]
[没错，乌列]
[[And your opinion hasn't changed even now?]]
你的视角到现在还没有改变吗
Yi Hyeon-Seong nodded. Uriel then slowly turned her head towards me. Her irises were burning brightly just like the corona of the sun.
李贤成点点头。乌列尔慢慢地把头转向我。她的虹膜像太阳的日冕一样明亮地燃烧着。
[[….Did you say you're the 'Demon King of Salvation'?]]
你说你是‘救世魔王’吗
Against that gaze seemingly testing my righteousness, I subconsciously swallowed back my saliva and nodded my head.
我下意识地咽下唾液，点了点头。
[[Through this world-line's version of myself, I have seen the Fables related to you.]]
[通过这个世界线版本的我自己，我看到了与你有关的寓言]
It was then Jeong Hui-Won standing nearby flinched a little. Technically, though, it wasn't her but probably Uriel, instead.
这时站在旁边的郑惠媛退缩了一下。虽然严格来说，不是她，而是可能是乌列。
I was getting a somewhat-ominous vibe here.
我觉得有点不祥的预感。
What the 'Living Flame' said next was completely out of my expectations, though.
然而，“活着的火焰”接下来说的话完全出乎我的意料。
[[Your Fables were quite similar to those of 'Yu Jung-Hyeok's' that I'm familiar with. From the way you cleared the scenarios to how you looked after your companions.]]
你的寓言和我所熟悉的‘YuJung-Hyeok’的寓言非常相似。从你清理场景的方式到你如何照顾你的同伴。]
"…"
"..."
[[This world-line resembles ours quite closely.]]
这条世界航线与我们的非常相似
The expression on the 999th turn's Yi Ji-Hye was rather complicated. I realised why they stood around looking at each other for such a long time the moment I saw her face.
第999回合的易继慧的表达是相当复杂的。当我看到她的脸的那一刻，我明白了为什么他们站在一起看着对方看了那么长时间。
They weren't agitated simply because this world just so happened to be their home planet.
他们并不仅仅因为这个世界恰好是他们的家园而感到不安。
[[Are you aware of the events that took place in our world-line?]]
你知道在我们的世界范围内发生的事情吗
I hesitated on what to say. This wasn't something that I could explain away easily. Instead of my lacking communication skills, though, my Fables began speaking up in my stead.
我犹豫要说什么。这不是我能轻易解释清楚的事情。然而，我的寓言并没有缺乏沟通技巧，而是开始代替我畅所欲言。
[Fable, 'Demon King of Salvation', has begun its storytelling.]
[寓言《救恩之魔王》已经开始讲故事了]
A portion of the Fables I possessed travelled towards the beings from the 999th turn via the tip of my hand.
我所拥有的寓言的一部分，从第999个转弯开始，通过我的手尖朝着那些生物旅行。
[Fable, 'One Who Opposes the Miracle', has begun its storytelling.] [Fable, 'One Who Hunted the King of Disasters', has begun its storytelling.]
[寓言《反对奇迹的人》已经开始讲故事了][寓言《猎杀灾难之王》已经开始讲故事了]
I observed them reading my Fables. Diverse, colourful expressions filled their faces. It was quite clear what overlapped with my Fable while they were reading it.
我看到他们在读我的寓言。他们的脸上充满了丰富多彩的表情。当他们阅读我的寓言时，很明显他们有什么重叠。
….Did I also make such an expression while reading the 'Ways of Survival' for the first time?
难道我在第一次阅读《生存之道》的时候也有这样的表达吗？
That was something I'd never find out.
这是我永远也不会发现的。
[[….But, how could such a thing….]]
但是，这样的事情怎么可能.....
It was around then that an unexpected event occurred; the Status of the 999th turn's Uriel, reading my Fable silently until then, travelled over the Fable itself and invaded into the sea of my consciousness.
就在那时，一个意想不到的事件发生了;第999回合的状态的乌列，默读我的寓言直到那时，旅行超过寓言本身，入侵到我的意识海洋。
As if, she wanted to find out the origin of my existence.
仿佛，她想找出我存在的起源。
[Exclusive skill, 'The 4th Wall', is activating!]
[独家技能‘第四道墙’正在激活!]
Tsu-chuchuchut!
楚楚！
Just as I expected, the 'Wall' made a move as the blinding sparks danced in the air.
正如我所预料的那样，当炫目的火花在空中飞舞时，“长城”移动了一下。
['The 4th Wall' is glaring at the 'Living Flame'!]
“第四道墙”正在瞪着“活火焰”
The Living Flame's left hand was deflected away as if being rejected, a faint trace of burn marks visible on her skin. She looked at me in pure shock, then the faint hints of understanding began permeating in the lights of her eyes.
活着的火焰的左手像是被拒绝了一样被偏转了，在她的皮肤上可以看到一丝烧伤的痕迹。她看着我，完全震惊了，然后她的眼睛里开始弥漫着理解的微弱暗示。
[[I see. So, that's how it was. You are….]] Her voice sounded even more surprised compared to when she was reading my memories. [[The last fragment of the 'Final Wall', is it… Is that why the 'Secretive Plotter' was so obsessed over you?]] "Please make your decision. There isn't much time left until the scenario's end."
我明白了。原来是这样的。[英语背诵文选她的声音听起来比她读我的记忆时更惊讶。[“最后一道墙”的最后一块碎片，是不是......这就是为什么“秘密密谋者”对你如此着迷的原因?]“请做出你的决定。在这种情况结束之前，时间不多了。”
[The 'Great Apocalypse Scenario' has entered a temporary state of lull!] [If the current situation persists, the distortion of the world will accelerate.]
[“大灾难”已经进入了暂时的平静状态!](如果目前的情况持续下去，世界的扭曲将会加速。)
Since they had descended as 'calamities', this scenario now had to have a conclusion without exception. The best method for everyone involved was for them to give up on being the 'calamities'.
因为它们是作为灾难降临的，所以这种情况现在不得不毫无例外地得出一个结论。对于每个参与其中的人来说，最好的办法就是放弃成为“灾难”。
The 'Living Flame' opened her lips again. [[I acknowledge the potential you possess. Although vexing, I can even agree to forestall my vengeance. However….]]
“活生生的火焰”又张开了她的嘴唇。我承认你有潜力。虽然很烦恼，但我甚至可以同意阻止我的复仇。然而......]
Countless emotions brushed past her expression just then.
就在那时，无数的情感掠过她的表情。
[[….However, I don't believe that you'll successfully reach the end of this world-line. I don't believe that an existence that merely imitated another world-line's Fable can witness a proper conclusion.]]
然而，我不相信你能成功地到达这条世界线的尽头。我不相信一个仅仅模仿另一个世界范围的寓言的存在能够证明一个正确的结论。]
"H-hang on a…."
”等等...”
[[You'll probably reach your 'Conclusion' when this scenario comes to an end.]]
[当这种情况结束时，你可能会得到你的“结论”。]
The last part of 'One Single Fable', the Conclusion (結).
“一个单一寓言”的最后一部分——结语。
A gob-smacking heat storm began condensing with the 999th turn's Uriel as its centre. Salty air circulated around my nose as the seawater evaporated into the rushing winds.
一场以第999届世界杯的乌列尔为中心的热浪风暴开始凝结。咸咸的空气在我的鼻子周围循环，海水蒸发成奔腾的风。
I reflexively cried out at this outrageous transformation of Status.
我条件反射地对地位的这种令人发指的转变大喊大叫。
"Yu Jung-Hyeok!!"
“于正赫!”
At the same time, he stepped up before me and cut down the rushing hot air with his [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword]. However, the heat still managed to cook the backs of his hands.
与此同时，他走到我面前，用他的[黑暗天魔剑]消除了急流中的热气。然而，高温还是把他的手背烤焦了。
His breathing became irregular. The [Disconnected Film Theory]'s effect had almost run its course.
他的呼吸开始变得不规则，[断开连接的电影理论]的效果几乎达到了它的程度。
Ku-gugugugu!
咕咕咕咕！
The 999th turn's Great Fables were activating simultaneously. For some reason, even the 999th turn's Yi Hyeon-Seong didn't try to stop Uriel.
第999回合的伟大寓言同时激活。出于某种原因，甚至第999回合的李贤成也没有试图阻止乌列。
I urgently shouted out. "But why….! There's no need to do this! We-!!"
我急切地喊道，“但是为什么...!没有必要这样做!我们-!!”
The 999th turn's Uriel wordlessly strode over to us. Companions grew tense and began unleashing their own Statuses.
第999回合的乌列一言不发地向我们走来，同伴们变得紧张起来，开始释放他们自己的状态。
[Great Fable, 'Demon World's Spring', is continuing on with its storytelling!] [Great Fable, 'Torch that Swallowed the Myth', is continuing on with its storytelling!]
[伟大的寓言，‘魔鬼世界的春天’，正在继续它的故事!][伟大的寓言《吞噬神话的火炬》继续讲述它的故事!]
The 'Living Flame' simply took a glance at our Fables and continued to approach us. After every 'Outer God' handed over their Status to her, she raised her [Flames of Retribution] up high.
“活生生的火焰”只是扫了一眼我们的寓言，然后继续靠近我们。每次“外神”把他们的地位交给她之后，她就把她的[惩罚之火]升得很高。
I bit down hard on my lip.
我用力咬住嘴唇。
[The absolute majority of the Constellations are scared of the 'Outer God's' power.] [Many Dokkaebis are repulsed by the Fable of the 'Outer God'.]
绝大多数的星座都害怕“外在上帝”的力量许多多卡比斯被“外神”的寓言吓退了
Everything within <Star Stream> would soon become stories.
星流中的一切很快就会成为故事。
However, why was a story both the Constellations and Dokkaebis didn't want to see deemed necessary?
然而，为什么星座和多卡比斯都不想看到一个被认为是必要的故事呢？
Just what was the reason for a story to exist in this world when it was only good for plunging everyone into endless sorrow?
当一个故事只会让每个人陷入无尽的悲伤时，它存在于这个世界上的理由是什么呢？
[[Do you always seek to create a Fable to tell someone else?]]
[你总是试图创造一个寓言来告诉别人吗?]
The 999th turn's Uriel was talking to us.
第999轮的乌列正在和我们谈话。
The [Flames of Retribution] refined to the stunning degree was now talking about the time outside of the scenarios.
精炼到惊人程度的[惩戒之火]现在谈论的是场景之外的时间。
[[Who does it exist for, this Fable you have compiled so far?]]
[它是为谁而存在的，这是你迄今为止编写的寓言?]
While listening to her true voice, I realised what her intentions were.
听着她真实的声音，我明白了她的意图。
A story nobody supported. Even then, she wished to see the end of this particular scenario.
一个没有人支持的故事。即使在那时，她仍然希望看到这个特殊场景的结局。
⸢And that is the answer the 'Living Flame' had chosen.⸥
这就是“活火焰”选择的答案
The reason why she wanted to continue on with this scenario wasn't because she agreed with the Constellations, nor did she want to side with <Star Stream>.
她之所以想继续这个剧本，并不是因为她赞同星座，也不是因为她想支持星流。
[[Show me your 'Conclusion'. Prove it to me that your group can reach an end different from any other world-lines.]]
[给我看看你的“结论”。证明给我看，你的团队能够达到不同于任何其他世界线的结局。]
Stars in the skies were looking at us. Stars that had been watching this story for a very long time. I imagined those countless starlights, and then, end of all the worlds waiting beyond that.
天空中的星星在看着我们。观看这个故事很长时间的明星们。我想象着那些无数的星光，然后，所有世界的尽头在那里等着我。
I imagined the end of this story, the one I'd been building up to for a long time.
我想象着这个故事的结局，一个我为之奋斗了很长时间的故事。
"Kim Dok-Ja!"
“金道子!”
The waves of heat completely filled up my view. The [Hellfire] of the 999th turn's Uriel, intermingling with the odour of burning sulphur, created the tsunami wave of lava. It was the moving wall of enormous Status capable of immediately melting everything that it touched.
热浪把我的视野完全淹没了。第999回合的乌列尔(Uriel)，混合着燃烧硫磺的气味，创造了熔岩海啸波。这是一堵巨大的移动的墙，能够立即融化它所接触到的一切。
The victory would be decided with one attack.
胜利将由一次进攻决定。
Block that, and we'd emerge as the victors.
阻止它，我们就会成为胜利者。
"Focus your Great Fables, everyone!"
“大家集中注意力听你们伟大的寓言故事!”
Petty tricks were rendered useless in the face of a calamity. My companions helped me with the mobilisation of the Great Fables, rather than focusing on their own specialities.
小把戏在灾难面前毫无用处。我的同伴帮助我动员伟大的寓言，而不是专注于他们自己的专长。
Shin Yu-Seung, Yi Gil-Yeong, and even Yu Sang-Ah, too - everyone raised their hands up in the air and added their share of the Great Fables.
申玉成，李吉英，甚至于相雅，每个人都举起手来，分享他们的伟大寓言。
[Great Fable, 'Season of Light and Darkness', has begun its storytelling!]
[伟大的寓言《光明与黑暗的季节》已经开始讲故事了!]
Accompanying the noises of the heavens splitting apart, the roars of the Apocalypse Dragon could be heard. Right next second, yet another loud howl exploded out from Han Su-Yeong's direction.
