[目前BY-9158的图像传输处于暂停状态]
Biyu must've done that voluntarily. It might be because of Bihyung's death, or maybe there was a problem trying to transmit from within the ark itself. Whatever the case might have been, it was a good thing for us.
碧玉一定是自愿这么做的。可能是因为比亨的死,也可能是因为试图从方舟内部传送信息出了问题。不管情况如何,这对我们来说都是件好事。
It'd been so much nicer if only the person before our eyes wasn't there, though.
不过,如果我们眼前的这个人不在那里,那就好多了。
"Anna Croft."
“安娜·克罗夫特。”
I stared at the prophet's blonde hair fluttering in the wind. I also sensed additional presences within the dense forest. They probably were the squad under her direct supervision, the 'Zarathustra'.
我凝视着先知的金发在风中飘动。我也感觉到在茂密的森林中还有其他的存在。他们可能是在她的直接监督下的小队,查拉图斯特拉。
- Why isn't this pebble or rock or whatever not working on her?
为什么这块鹅卵石或者石头什么的对她没用?
I didn't reply to Han Su-Yeong. Didn't have enough time now to explain everything that happened in the 'Isle of Reincarnators', anyhow.
我没有回复韩素妍。无论如何,我现在没有足够的时间来解释在转世岛上发生的一切。
Rather than patiently wait for my answer, though, Han Su-Yeong simply gripped my wrist hard. And then, she pointed at Anna Croft with her free hand. Vicious licks of [Black Flame] danced on the tip of her pointing finger.
韩素英没有耐心地等待我的回答,而是简单地紧紧抓住我的手腕。然后,她用空着的那只手指着安娜·克罗夫特。邪恶的舔食[黑色火焰]在她指尖上跳舞。
"Move outta way or die."
”要么闪开,要么死”
Their gazes collided in the air.
他们的目光在空中相互碰撞。
Eerie, bluish ghostly aura permeated within Han Su-Yeong's irises as she activated [Predictive Plagiarism]. At the same time, the eyes of Anna Croft, wielder of [Great Demon's Eye], also swirled in a crimson aura. Faint sparks danced in the air as the gazes of these two capable of reading the future collided.
当韩素英激活[预测剽窃]时,她的虹膜中弥漫着怪异的蓝色幽灵光环。与此同时,大恶魔之眼的使用者安娜·克罗夫特的眼睛也被深红色的光环环绕着。当这两个有能力预测未来的人的目光碰撞在一起时,微弱的火花在空中飞舞。
The latter maintained this tense stand-off for a bit before opening her mouth. "Kim Dok-Ja, do you want to escape from this floor?"
后者在开口之前保持了一会儿这种紧张的对峙。“金道子,你想从这层楼逃出去吗?”
Han Su-Yeong's complexion changed colours and she growled unhappily. "Hey, you. You ignoring me now?"
韩素英的脸色变了,她不高兴地咆哮道:“嘿,你,你现在不理我了?”
"I can help you."
“我可以帮你。”
"Weren't you trying your hardest to kill us not too long ago?"
“不久以前,你不是竭尽全力想要杀死我们吗?”
As Han Su-Yeong's words came to an end, I sensed the movements of the Constellations in the surroundings. I even noticed a few that began destroying the terrain indiscriminately in order to locate us.
当韩素英的话说完的时候,我感觉到周围的星座在移动。我甚至注意到有几个开始不分青红皂白地破坏地形,以便找到我们。
It would be hard to buy more time here.
在这里很难争取到更多的时间。
"I didn't have a choice. If we sided with you back then, we'd all have been wiped away."
“我别无选择。如果那时我们站在你这边,我们都会被消灭。”
"And the current situation is different how?"
“现在的情况有什么不同?”
"Are you really going to waste your time this way? I'm pretty sure it's you people feeling the urgency, not me."
“你真的要这样浪费时间吗?我敢肯定,感到紧急的是你们,而不是我。”
"Do we have a reason to trust you?"
“我们有理由相信你吗?”
"Are you the type to trust someone even with a good enough reason?"
“你是那种即使有足够充分的理由也会相信别人的人吗?”
In any other circumstances, I'd have gladly accepted her help. However, Anna Croft was someone who signed a direct contract with the whole Nebula.
在任何其他情况下,我都会欣然接受她的帮助。然而,安娜·克罗夫特是与整个星云签订了直接合同的人。
"You're the Nebula <Asgard>'s Incarnation."
“你是阿斯加德星云的化身。”
[Nebula, <Asgard>'s Great Fables are waking up from their ancient slumber!]
[星云,阿斯加德的伟大寓言正从他们古老的沉睡中苏醒!]
And the current floor just so happened to be the cabin where <Asgard>'s Constellations resided.
而现在的地板恰好就是阿斯加德星座居住的小屋。
Anna Croft readily admitted to that and nodded her head. "True. I'm their Incarnation. In that case, don't you find this even more strange? I'm right here, looking at you both, yet why haven't they rushed here yet?"
安娜·克罗夫特爽快地承认了这一点,并点了点头。“没错。我是他们的化身。那样的话,你不觉得这更奇怪吗?我就在这儿,看着你们两个,他们为什么还不赶紧来呢?”
I too had been keeping an eye on the Constellations loitering around our vicinity. It looked as if they couldn't even hear our conversation. Quite likely, she resorted to some kind of an unknown method to block their gazes somehow.
我也一直密切注视着在我们附近徘徊的星座。看起来他们好像根本听不到我们的谈话。很有可能,她采取了某种未知的方法来阻止他们的注视。
"What are you scheming?"
“你在计划什么?”
I stared into Anna Croft's deep, mysterious eyes.
我凝视着安娜·克罗夫特那双深邃而神秘的眼睛。
[Exclusive skill, 'Reading Comprehension', is activating!]
[独家技能‘阅读理解’正在激活!]
⸢More than anyone out there, the Incarnation Anna Croft places importance in realistic causes.⸥
道成肉身的安娜·克罗夫特比任何人都更重视现实事业
In a certain sense, this world's most righteous person could be none other than Anna Croft. If Yu Jung-Hyeok's cause was built upon rage and hatred, then Anna Croft's was built upon the foundation of righteousness.
从某种意义上说,这个世界上最正直的人不可能不是安娜·克罗夫特。如果说余重赫的事业是建立在愤怒和仇恨之上,那么安娜·克罗夫特的事业则是建立在正义的基础之上。
The survival of the absolute majority.
绝对多数人的生存。
Her aim was to safely preserve the city of her birth, Las Vegas, the United States of America, and on top of that, Earth itself during the hell of scenarios.
她的目标是安全地保护她的出生城市拉斯维加斯,美利坚合众国,最重要的是,在地狱般的情况下保护地球本身。
⸢However, America was destroyed during this world-line.⸥
然而,美国在这条世界线上被摧毁了
Her home vanished on the same day that the great apocalypse began. All that remained were the small number of 'Zarathustras' following after her. Even then, her complexion wasn't as gloomy. No, her expression seemed to be filled with a certain fervour, instead. It was an expression of a person getting nearer to the world she wanted to see.
她的家在大灾难开始的同一天消失了。剩下的只有后面跟着的少数“查拉图斯特拉”。即使在那时,她的脸色也没有那么阴沉。不,相反,她的表情似乎充满了某种热情。这是一个人越来越接近她想看到的世界的表情。
While feeling the gentle vibration spreading within the entirety of the ship, I opened my mouth. "You're thinking of taking over this ark, aren't you."
当我感觉到轻柔的振动在整艘船上蔓延的时候,我张开了嘴。“你在考虑接管这个方舟,是吗?”
Right then, Han Su-Yeong next to me gasped out as if she had reached the same conclusion as me.
就在这时,我旁边的韩素英倒抽了一口冷气,好像得出了和我一样的结论。
Anna Croft grinned refreshingly. "How wonderful it is that you're so quick on the uptake."
安娜·克罗夫特清爽地咧嘴一笑:“你这么快就领会了,真是太好了。”
"It won't be easy to drive out the Constellations and take over the ark."
“驱逐星座并接管方舟并不容易。”
"However, it is the last chance given to humanity."
“然而,这是给人类的最后机会。”
Her plan was quite clear.
她的计划很明确。
The 'Final Ark' was a Great Fable weapon designed to transport Fable seeds to another world-line. If she managed to defeat the Constellations and acquire the controlling authority of this ark, then she should be able to transport humanity to a brand new world-line.
“最后的方舟”是一个伟大的寓言武器,旨在运输寓言种子到另一个世界线。如果她设法击败了星座并获得了这艘方舟的控制权,那么她应该能够把人类送到一条全新的世界航线上。
And everything would begin anew in that place.
在那个地方,一切都将重新开始。
"Not one Constellation can be left alive. Even if that includes you."
“没有一个星座是活着的,即使你也是如此。”
While listening to her, I recalled an ancient text from the 'Ways of Survival'.
听着她的话,我想起了《生存之道》中的一段古老的文字。
⸢Anna Croft's ■■ is 'Perfect Night'.⸥
安娜·克罗夫特(AnnaCroft)的《完美的夜晚》(PerfectNight)
A world of darkness where not one starlight shined - Anna Croft wished for humanity to live freely again under that darkness. If it was the world she dreamed of, then my companions should be able to survive as well. I felt slightly lonely as I opened my mouth again.
这是一个没有一丝星光闪耀的黑暗世界——安娜·克罗夫特希望人类能在黑暗中重新自由地生活。如果这是她梦想的世界,那么我的同伴们也应该能够生存下去。当我再次张开嘴的时候,我感到有点孤独。
"In that case, we'll be temporary allies. We'll work together until we reach the ark's core."
“在这种情况下,我们将成为临时盟友。我们将一起努力,直到抵达方舟的核心。”
"Until then, I shall lend you the power of my [Precognition]."
“在那之前,我将借给你我[预知]的力量。”
Han Su-Yeong next to me sent a message in my direction.
韩素英在我旁边给我发了一条信息。
- I've been checking her through Lie Detection, and she hasn't been lying. Doesn't look like she's been using Pokerface, either.
我用测谎仪给她做了检查她没有撒谎。看起来她也没用过扑克脸。
I nodded my head. "Alright. Let's work together."
我点了点头。“好吧,我们一起工作吧。”
*
While going through the Fable Bihyung had left behind, I read the surrounding topography.
当我浏览《神话比亨》留下的资料时,我读了一下周围的地形。
⸢The exit at the outside of the forested area is towards the branch reaching out to the heavens.⸥
森林区域外面的出口朝向向天空伸出的树枝
One thing I realised while following after Anna Croft was that our current area was not a plain, but a 'floor' above a certain tree.
在追随安娜·克罗夫特之后,我意识到我们现在所在的区域不是一片平原,而是某棵树上方的一层。
- Gotta admit, their worldview setting is pretty slick.
不得不承认,他们的世界观设置很狡猾。
Han Su-Yeong muttered out, evidently impressed by the sight.
韩素英咕哝着说,显然对这景象印象深刻。
Seeing such a detailed recreation of <Asgard>'s worldview, I began to fully realise just how long they had been preparing this Final Ark.
看到对阿斯加德世界观如此详尽的再现,我开始完全意识到他们准备这个最终方舟已经有多久了。
This shouldn't be the whole Universe Tree Yggdrasil. It was probably a mock-up. Even then, this tree was more than wide and expansive enough already. Most likely, the <Asgard>'s Constellations would live on while enjoying the vested rights founded upon this Fable in the next world-line.
这不应该是整个宇宙树Yggdrasil。可能只是个模型。尽管如此,这棵树已经够宽了,够大了。最有可能的是,阿斯加德星座将继续生存,同时享受这个寓言在下一个世界线上建立的既得权利。
Anna Croft quietly stared at such Constellations, before shifting her head away and focused on the way ahead instead. Han Su-Yeong observed her and spoke to me.
安娜·克罗夫特静静地凝视着这些星座,然后转过头去专注于前方的道路。韩素英看着她,跟我说话。
- By the way, will she be alright? The price of betraying a Nebula should be huge, though?
顺便问一下,她会好起来吗?背叛星云的代价应该是巨大的,对吧?
Before I could answer, though, Anna Croft opened her mouth first. "My situation is not something you should be concerned about."
我还没来得及回答,安娜·克罗夫特就先开口了。“我的处境不值得你担心。”
"….What the hell. You can even eavesdrop on this?
管他呢你居然还能偷听?
"I only guessed that you were using Midday Tryst since you two haven't said anything for a while."
“我只是猜测你在使用午间幽会,因为你们俩已经有一段时间没有说话了。”
"Sounds like you have a trusty backer or something?"
“听起来你好像有个值得信赖的支持者什么的?”
Han Su-Yeong's words caused Anna Croft's expression to harden for the first time. "What do you mean?"
韩素妍的话使安娜·克罗夫特的表情第一次变得僵硬起来。“你什么意思?”
"I was wondering if it's logically possible for a measly little Incarnation to block off the gazes from an entire 'Nebula', that's all."
“我想知道一个微不足道的化身是否有可能阻挡整个‘星云’的视线,仅此而已。”
Han Su-Yeong's right; no Incarnation could've pulled that off, regardless of who you were.
韩素英是对的,不管你是谁,任何一个化身都不可能做到这一点。
I quietly glared at the back of Anna Croft's head.
我静静地盯着安娜·克罗夫特的后脑勺。
[Exclusive skill, 'Reading Comprehension's', concentration level is rising up even higher!]
独特的技能,‘阅读理解的’,专注水平正在上升得更高
I did have my suspicions. The aura of chaos gently crumbled away behind her. And beyond that, I thought I glimpsed a pair of crimson eyes not too dissimilar to Anna Croft's.
我确实有所怀疑。混乱的气氛在她身后慢慢地消失了。除此之外,我还瞥见了一双和安娜·克罗夫特没什么两样的深红色眼睛。
From the get-go, there were only two existences in this world capable of interfering with the channels Constellations watched.
从一开始,这个世界上只有两种存在能够干扰星座观测的频道。
Ku-gugugugu!
咕咕咕咕!
It was right then that lightning suddenly went off in the air. The ground split apart and the surrounding atmosphere began quaking ominously. The sounds of incoming storm could be heard next.
就在这时,空中突然闪电。地面裂开了,周围的大气开始不祥地颤抖。接下来可以听到即将来临的暴风雨的声音。
[Constellation, 'One-eyed Father', is slowly blinking its remaining eye.]
[星座,“独眼父亲”,正在慢慢眨着它剩下的那只眼睛。]
Tsu-chuchuchut!
楚楚!
Anna Croft's complexion paled instantly.
安娜·克罗夫特的脸色立刻变白了。
Even the god of creation 'Ra' we fought back in the 98th scenario didn't possess might of this calibre. As for the Status, it easily exceeded Thor's we encountered earlier by a huge margin.
即使是我们在98年反击的创造之神Ra也没有这样的能力。至于状态,它轻松地超过了我们早些时候遇到的雷神托尔的巨大差距。
This worldview's most powerful being had just woken up from his slumber, in other words.
换句话说,这个世界观最强大的存在刚刚从睡梦中醒来。
"…..Odin."
”...奥丁神”
We began running.
我们开始跑步。
Even if <Kim Dok-Ja Company> had grown stronger, it was an act of utter stupidity to fight the Myth-grade Constellation Odin in <Asgard>'s turf.
即使金道子公司变得更加强大,在阿斯加德的地盘上与神话级别的星座奥丁作战也是极其愚蠢的行为。
[Constellation, 'One-eyed Father', is now looking at his world.]
[星座,“独眼父亲”,现在正在观察他的世界。]
A terrifying gaze was sweeping across the entire world. And not too long after that, I felt something was looking at us.
一种可怕的目光扫过了整个世界。不久之后,我感觉有东西在看着我们。
"It's this way! Hurry!"
“在这边!快点!”
There was a tree branch leading up to higher floors of Yggdrasil in the place Anna Croft was pointing at. We quickly ran on that branch and almost at the same time, the ground beneath our feet lost strength and began collapsing.
有一根树枝通向Yggdrasil的高层,就在AnnaCroft指着的地方。我们飞快地跑上那根树枝,几乎同时,我们脚下的土地失去了力量,开始坍塌。
"Faster!"
“再快点!”
I squeezed out every ounce of my energy and ran, and also activated the wind, as well.
我竭尽全力跑起来,同时也激活了风。
[Exclusive skill, 'Way of the Wind Lv. ?', is activating!]
[独家技能,‘风之路 ’,正在激活!]
All the Great Fables I've collected so far strengthened the Way of the Wind even more and it added greater momentum to our travelling speed. I wanted to activate [Demon King Transformation] as well and spread out my wings if it was possible, but one of the wings was wounded just before the transmission and I couldn't do that.
到目前为止,我收集的所有伟大的寓言故事都进一步加强了《风之路》,为我们的旅行速度增加了更大的动力。我也想启动[恶魔王变形],如果可能的话,展开我的翅膀,但是在变形之前,我的一个翅膀受伤了,我做不到。
Du-dududududu!
嘟嘟嘟嘟!
Some things was busy chasing us down.
有些东西正忙着追赶我们。
[Constellation, 'God of Harp and Horn', is heeding the father's order.] [Constellation, 'Goddess of Love and Cats', is answering the father's order.] [Constellation, 'One Who Lost His Arm to the Wolf of Apocalypse', is howling out!] [Constellation, 'Guardian of the Great Horn Bridge', has detected someone's presence!]
[星座,‘竖琴和号角之神’,正在听从天父的命令。][星座,‘爱与猫女神’,正在回应父亲的命令。][《星座》,《天启之狼》,一只失去了胳膊的狼嚎叫着出来了!][星座,‘大角桥的守护者’,探测到有人的存在!]
"We're almost there!"
