"I guess this really is the end."
“我想这真的是结束了。”
I nodded my head.
我点了点头。
"What was it like, back in the original? The Final Scenario, it….. No, never mind. Things have changed completely from the original, anyway."
“在最初的时候是什么样的？最后一幕，它.....。不，没关系。无论如何，现在的情况已经完全不同于最初的情况了。”
She was right.
她是对的。
We had already ended the war against the 'Outer Gods' that's supposed to be the original novel's Final Scenario. So, the 'Final Scenario' we were about to face should be very different from the original.
我们已经结束了对外界诸神的战争，这应该是原著小说的最后情节。因此，我们即将面对的“最终情景”应该与最初的情景截然不同。
"What happens when you complete the 'Conclusion'?"
“当你完成‘结论’时会发生什么?”
"Probably a meeting with the King of Stories."
“可能是去见故事之王。”
"You mean, the Dokkaebi King?" asked Han Su-Yeong. She pondered something for a bit, then continued on. "Are you going to meet that guy?"
“你是说多卡比国王?”韩素英问道。她沉思了一会儿，然后继续说下去。“你要去见那个人吗?”
"I will. Not right away, but still."
“我会的，虽然不是马上，但还是会去。”
"What do you mean? Don't make me worried here."
“什么意思?别让我担心。”
There was the sound of knocking, and a faint wind blew across us. One of the Complex's residents peeked his head through the open gap of the door Han Su-Yeong had left behind.
有敲门的声音，一阵微风吹过我们。综合楼里的一个住户从韩素英留下的门缝里探出头来。
"Representative-nim? We have a guest, sir."
“尼姆代表?我们有客人了，先生。”
A guest?
客人？
[It's been a while, descendant.]
好久不见了，小子
An old-fashioned tone of voice greeted me. An unexpected existence came to visit, as it turned out.
一种老式的语调迎接了我，事实证明，一种意想不到的存在出现了。
"….Pungbaek?"
“庞贝克?”
*
Heaven's wind god, 'Pungbaek'.
天堂的风神，庞贝克。
Only then did I remember what my mother told me earlier. She said that I should meet up with Pungbaek before I entered the 'Final Scenario', didn't she?
直到那时，我才记起妈妈早些时候告诉我的话。她说我应该在进入‘最后情节’之前和Pungbaek见面，不是吗？
[Descendant, your choice was reckless. Letting the 'Outer Gods' live is no different than you embracing the calamity itself.] ….Did he show up here to spout more kkondae-like rubbish?
后裔，你的选择是鲁莽的。让“外界诸神”活着和你接受灾难本身没有什么不同。]他来这里是不是为了说些像kkondae一样的废话？
Pungbaek must've found my actions not to his liking, because he began a lengthy sermon at my expense. Such as, the young ones looking down on scenarios nowadays, us not being serious about the scenarios, etc, etc….
Pungbaek一定觉得我的行为不合他的胃口，因为他以我为代价开始了冗长的布道。比如，现在的年轻人看不起情景，我们对情景不认真，等等。
"Excuse me, grandpa?"
“对不起，爷爷?”
[I don't have the time to waste, so I shall get right to the point. Descendant, you might find yourself in great danger once you enter the Final Scenario.]
我没有时间可浪费，所以我就开门见山了。后裔，你可能会发现自己处于巨大的危险之中，一旦你进入最后的情节
"Great danger?"
“巨大的危险?”
[I say this because I've been observing your methods for a very long time.]
我这么说是因为我观察你们的方法很长时间了
He spoke as if he knew just about everything I was planning to do in my future. Han Su-Yeong next to me cackled as if she was greatly amused by this. I shot her a glare and asked Pungbaek.
他说得好像他知道我将来打算做的每一件事。我旁边的韩素英咯咯笑了起来，好像觉得很好笑似的。我瞪了她一眼，问庞贝克。
"Just what is it that you came here to tell me?"
“你来这里到底想告诉我什么?”
[<Hongik> can lend you aid, descendant.]
[洪吉可以帮助你，后裔。]
I ended up frowning without realising it. I now could figure out why he was here. This dude, even until the end… "I don't need it. You probably will demand some kind of nonsensical payment, anyw….."
我最后皱着眉头，没有意识到。现在我知道他为什么会在这里了。这个家伙，即使到最后...”我不需要它。你可能会要求某种毫无意义的付款，无论如何......”
[We don't need things like that. Witnessing the birth of a 'Myth-grade Constellation' from the Korean Peninsula is more than enough for us.]
我们不需要那样的东西。在朝鲜半岛见证“神话级星座”的诞生对我们来说已经足够了。]
I couldn't help but doubt my own hearing just then.
此时此刻，我禁不住怀疑自己的听力。
[You'll find <Hongik>'s founding gods among the Myth-grade Constellations in the Final Scenario. If your situation turns for the worse, ask them for their aid. If you're genuine in your request, they should be compelled to make a move.] "….Have you come here to tell me that?"
[在《最后的剧情》中，你会在神话级星座中找到弘毅的创始之神。如果你的情况变得更糟，向他们寻求帮助。如果你的要求是真诚的，他们应该被迫采取行动。]...你是来告诉我这些的吗?”
Pungbaek expressionlessly stroked his beard and replied. [Correct.]
庞贝克面无表情地抚摸着他的胡子回答道
"I'm a bit moved, actually."
“实际上，我有点感动。”
Pungbake lightly coughed to clear his throat, then his body scattered away in winds.
Pungbake轻轻地咳嗽了一下，清了清嗓子，然后他的身体就被风吹散了。
[I've conveyed everything I wished to say. Let us meet again in the Final Scenario.]
[我已经把我想说的都说了。让我们在最后一幕再次见面吧。]
Less than a blink later, only the chilly wind remained there.
不到一眨眼的功夫，那里只剩下一阵寒风。
Han Su-Yeong piped up, sounding somewhat bemused. "He's really coy, isn't he? How adorable."
韩素英尖声说道，听起来有些困惑。“他真的很腼腆，不是吗?多可爱啊。”
"Well, he was a good Constellation back in the original, so."
“嗯，他是一个很好的星座回到原来，所以。”
"I guess we do have some allies, then. Your life wasn't in vain, man."
“我想我们的确有些盟友。你的生命没有白费，伙计。”
I'd be happy if that was truly the case.
如果真是这样，我会很高兴的。
[Constellation, 'Demon-like Judge of Fire', says she's also here.] [Constellation, 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon', argues that only the bad companions can be true comrades, and….]
[星座，‘魔鬼般的火之审判者’，说她也在这里。][星座，‘深渊黑火龙’，认为只有坏伙伴才能成为真正的同志，而且......]
[Constellation. 'Most Ancient Liberator', is….]
星座:“最古老的解放者”是.....
I looked up at the sky and smirked a little.
我抬头看着天空，得意地笑了一下。
Han Su-Yeong spoke up. "You, you grinning that unlucky grin again. It's almost 8, so get ready. People are waiting for you."
韩素英大声说。“你，你又咧着嘴笑了。快8点了，准备好。人们都在等你。”
I nodded before heading to the upper levels of the [Factory]. I could hear the murmurs coming from the interior. All manners of media houses, Dokkaebis, and Constellations were waiting for me.
我点了点头，然后走到(工厂)的上层。我能听到从内部传来的杂音。各种各样的媒体、道卡比斯和星座都在等着我。
Before I could make my entrance to the press conference venue, though, one of the Complex's residents stopped me.
我还没来得及进入新闻发布会的会场，一位大楼的住户就拦住了我。
"Excuse me, representative-nim. Preparations aren't finished yet."
“对不起，尼姆代表，准备工作还没有完成。”
….Now that I thought about it, since when did people of the [Industrial Complex] start calling me with that title?
...现在我想起来了，从什么时候开始工业联合体的人用这个头衔称呼我了？
Didn't they used to call me the 'Demon King' all this time?
他们以前不是一直叫我魔王吗？
"I ordered them to call you that. You being called Demon King-nim every single time kinda made me feel like we're this world's enemies or something."
“我命令他们这么叫你。你每次都被称为尼姆魔王，这让我觉得我们是这个世界的敌人。”
"Well, sure, I guess….. But, uh, Seol-Hwa-ssi, is this really necessary?"
“嗯，当然，我想......但是，呃，Seol-Hwa-ssi，这真的有必要吗?”
Before I knew it, I was pushed down on a chair. And then, my lips began quivering from the sensation of a soft brush tickling my cheek.
我还没反应过来，就被推倒在椅子上。然后，我的嘴唇开始颤抖，因为有一把柔软的刷子在我的脸颊上发痒。
The focused Yi Seol-Hwa replied seriously while painting my face. "You're supposed to be our representative, so we must ensure that you look presentable first."
专心致志的李世华一边给我画脸，一边认真地回答。“你应该是我们的代表，所以我们必须首先确保你看起来像样。”
"Your words hurt in a variety of ways, you know."
“你的话伤害了很多人，你知道的。”
My companions were watching us from nearby as if they had found something quite entertaining. I felt like a monkey in a zoo.
我的同伴们在附近看着我们，好像他们发现了什么很有趣的东西。我感觉自己像是动物园里的一只猴子。
Han Su-Yeong fidgeted around with my hair from behind and asked me. "By the way, will you remain as a blondie forever?"
韩素英从后面拨弄着我的头发问我。“顺便问一句，你会永远保持金发的形象吗?”
"No, it's because of the Great Sage's Status seeping into me. I should go back to normal in a little while."
“不，这是因为大圣的身份渗入了我的身体。我过一会儿就能恢复正常了。”
"Your hair is really soft, though."
“不过你的头发真的很柔软。”
[Constellation. 'Most Ancient Liberator' says that his hair is the result of an extensive, arduous training regime….]
星座“最古老的解放者”说他的头发是经过大量艰苦训练的结果.....
"It's finished."
“结束了。”
Yi Seol-Hwa finished painting me in an instant and spoke while placing a mirror before me. Although it was a bit embarrassing to say this myself, a man handsome enough to ponder whether to slap Yu Jung-Hyeok's cheeks or not was staring back at me in the reflection.
李世华一下子就把我画好了，一面镜子放在我面前，一面说话。虽然我自己说出来有点尴尬，但是一个英俊得足以考虑是否要扇余正赫的脸颊的男人，在我的倒影中回望着我。
I sneaked a glance to my side, but my companions weren't saying anything. Several steps away, Yu Jung-Hyeok was glaring at me with eyes implying how unimpressed he was.
我偷偷瞥了一眼我的身边，但我的同伴什么也没说。离我几步远的时候，余重赫正瞪着我，眼睛里流露出一种无动于衷的神情。
"Kim Dok-Ja."
“金道子。”
I nodded, put my coat on, and placed the [Unbreakable Faith] on my hips. With the exception of the formal business suit underneath, this was my regular combat outfit, through and through.
我点点头，穿上外套，把“牢不可破的信念”放在屁股上。除了里面正式的西装外，这是我平时的战斗服，从头到尾都是。
"Let's go."
“我们走吧。”
We entered the press conference venue. Countless stars and cameras were now looking at me in this wide-open outdoor venue.
我们进入了新闻发布会现场，在这个开放的户外场地，无数的明星和摄像机正在看着我。
Near-blinding rays came down from the spotlights above. My companions and I were being projected on a giant holographic panel.
几乎致盲的光线从上面的聚光灯下射下来，我和我的同伴被投射在一个巨大的全息面板上。
Loud cheerings came from the residents of the Industrial Complex. What accompanied the outpouring of their cheering were the stories of those waiting for me.
工业园区的居民发出了热烈的欢呼声。伴随着他们的欢呼声的是那些等待我的人的故事。
[The absolute majority of Constellations are focusing their attention on your decision!] [The absolute majority of Constellations are curious about the name of your final Fable!]
绝大多数星座都把注意力集中在你的决定上绝大多数的星座都对你最后寓言的名字感到好奇
Those that worry about the safety of the Korean Peninsula, and Constellations that were curious about this planet's future.
那些担心朝鲜半岛安全的人，以及对这个星球的未来感到好奇的星座。
Those who were scared of what lay waiting in the Final Scenario, and those who worried about their own survival.
那些害怕在最后情境中等待的东西的人，以及那些担心自己生存的人。
Beings who were concerned about the power we possessed and were trying to take it away.
他们关心我们所拥有的力量，并试图把它夺走。
Those saying why we chose to appear only now, and the Incarnations pleading with us to take them to the 'Final Scenario'….
那些说为什么我们选择现在才出现的人，以及化身们恳求我们带他们进入“最后的剧本”..。
[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', is starting his story.]
[星座，‘救世魔王’，开始了他的故事。]
As the countless questions flooded in, my Fable made a move. The skies wavered and the ground quaked - when the Status of a Myth-grade Constellation was unleashed, the entirety of the Peninsula seemed to sink into a pit of silence. Every single one waiting for my answer looked at me.
当无数的问题涌入时，我的寓言开始行动了。当神话级星座的状态释放出来时，整个半岛似乎陷入了一片寂静。每一个等待我回答的人都看着我。
I slowly opened my lips.
我慢慢地张开嘴。
[Everyone.]
[所有人]
And then, I began my story.
然后，我开始讲我的故事。
[I have no thoughts of saving you.]
我没有想过要救你
