The smartphone inside my coat vibrated and emitted 'Woong, woong' noise.
我外套里的智能手机震动起来，发出“Woong，Woong”的声音。
⸢This whole story began the moment he read that novel.⸥
他一看到那本小说，整个故事就开始了
Texts rose above the phone. The expansive wall before me seemed uncannily similar to the screen of this device.
短信从手机上方升起，我面前宽阔的墙壁看起来和这个设备的屏幕惊人地相似。
From Yu Jung-Hyeok's 3rd regression turn all the way to the 1863's - the wall that, most likely, had recorded all the stories that I knew of.
从余重赫的第三次回归一直到19世纪63年代——那堵墙，很可能记录了我所知道的所有故事。
⸢Kim Dok-Ja used to think about a certain thing back when he was working for the QA team: 'What if I'm the only one who knows about this bug?'⸥
KimDok-Ja在QA团队工作的时候曾经想过一件事:“如果我是唯一一个知道这个bug的人怎么办?”
"You…."
“你......”
I turned around and found Han Su-Yeong there. She seemed to have something to say, but was unable to find the right words. The bandages imbued with the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon's grace wrapped around her left hand were slowly scattering away.
我转过身，发现韩素英在那里。她似乎有话要说，但找不到合适的词。缠绕在她左手上的深渊黑火龙优雅的绷带慢慢散开。
I took a close look at each of my companions. Jeong Hui-Won was on her knees, her visibly-shaking hands pressed to the ground, while Yi Hyeon-Seong was carrying the unconscious Yi Gil-Yeong. Yi Seol-Hwa and Gong Pil-Du were supporting each other while exiting from the ark.
我仔细地看了看我的每一个同伴。郑慧媛跪在地上，她明显颤抖的双手按在地上，而李贤成则抱着失去知觉的李吉英。易世华和宫弼渡从方舟里出来时互相扶持着。
And in the distance, I spotted Jang Ha-Yeong who had narrowly escaped from the cabin along with our masters.
远处，我看见张夏勇和我们的主人一起从船舱里逃了出来。
"….Ahjussi."
大叔
Shin Yu-Seung was looking at her hands. Rather than calling out to me, though, her voice was much closer to a murmur directed at herself. A lone piece of scale from the 'Chimera Dragon' rested in her palm.
申玉升看着自己的手。然而，她的声音并没有向我呼喊，而是更接近于自言自语。一块奇美拉龙的鳞片放在她的手掌上。
Yu Sang-Ah approached her and placed a hand on the girl's shoulder. As her hand felt the soft, trembling sob, Yu Sang-Ah wordlessly shifted her gaze over to the exit we all escaped from.
于相娥走近她，把一只手放在女孩的肩上。当她的手感觉到那柔软颤抖的呜咽时，余相娥默默地把目光转向我们都逃出去的出口。
⸢The stars they used to know had grown dark.⸥
他们曾经认识的星星已经变暗了
My vision shook from the dizziness. I couldn't sense the gazes of the stars. Was it because every single one of them was extinguished?
眩晕使我的视力发抖。我感觉不到星星的凝视。是因为他们每一个人都被消灭了吗？
But, that couldn't be. No, this was simply because all the Great Dokkaebis had disappeared, that's all. Every channel operated by the Bureau had received massive impact and that caused system errors. Had to be.
但是，那不可能。不，这仅仅是因为所有伟大的多卡比斯都消失了，仅此而已。该局运作的每个渠道都受到巨大影响，造成了系统错误。肯定是的。
⸢He wouldn't be able to go on if he didn't believe in that.⸥
如果他不相信这一点，他就无法继续下去
I staggered but still managed to find my balance. The last person I spotted was Yu Jung-Hyeok. His Dark Heavenly Demon Sword was currently stabbing through the corpses of Great Dokkaebies. Fables from dead Constellations dripped steadily from the edge of his blade.
我摇摇晃晃，但还是找到了平衡。我最后看到的人是余正赫。他的黑暗天堂恶魔之剑正在刺穿大多卡比人的尸体。死亡星座的寓言从他的剑刃边缘滴落下来。
He was staring at me with his usual expressionless face of his.
他面无表情地盯着我。
⸢Is this the conclusion you desired?⸥
这是你想要的结论吗
['The 4th Wall' is violently shaking!]
第四道墙在剧烈地晃动
['The 4th Wall' is activating even more strongly!]
“第四道长城”正在更加强烈地激活
My mouth opened slowly, only to be shut again.
我的嘴慢慢地张开，却又被关上了。
[Completion of the Final Scenario is imminent.]
[最终方案即将完成]
The ark's core I had been searching for all this time rolled around on the ground. It was a piece of mineral emitting a brilliant yellowish hue, The powers of countless 'Great Fables' drifting around in this world-line were condensed to create this hardened essence.
方舟的内核我一直在地面上寻找滚动。它是一块发出明亮的淡黄色光芒的矿石，无数“伟大寓言”的力量在这个世界里漂流，凝结成这种坚硬的本质。
The [ark's core].
方舟的核心。
It was the source of energy for the great Fable weapon, 'Final Ark'. Destroying it would bring an end to this 99th scenario and conclude our battle.
它是伟大的寓言武器----最后的方舟----的能量来源。摧毁它将结束这第99种情况，并结束我们的战斗。
[The completion of <Star Stream>'s final Fable is around the corner!]
[星流的最终寓言即将完成!]
Tsu-chuchu….!
楚楚...！
Suddenly, my steps came to a stop. Vines sprouted out from the ground and wrapped around my ankles. 'Zarathustras' appeared from seemingly out of nowhere and used restriction skills on me.
突然，我的脚步停了下来。葡萄藤从地上长出来，缠住了我的脚踝。扎拉图斯特拉斯似乎不知从哪里冒出来，用限制技能对付我。
Selena Kim was avoiding my gaze as if she was apologetic about this. Soon afterwards, I could hear the prophet's voice.
赛琳娜·金姆避开了我的目光，似乎在为此道歉。不久之后，我听到了先知的声音。
"Thanks to you, our workload has been greatly lightened, Demon King of Salvation."
“多亏了你，我们的工作量大大减轻了，救世魔王。”
Anna Croft, already holding the ark's core, was looking in this direction.
已经拿着方舟核心的安娜·克罗夫特正朝这个方向望去。
⸢Humanity's hero that dreams of a different conclusion to Kim Dok-Ja.⸥ "You shouldn't be too surprised about this. I shall be taking this core with me."
人类的英雄，梦想着一个不同的结局，金道子。“你不必对此感到太惊讶。我要把这个核心带走。”
I had already heard about the world she dreamed of.
我已经听说了她梦想的世界。
The 'Perfect Night'. She dreamed of complete freedom from the gazes of all Constellations, and that dream entailed migrating safely to a different world-line along with every Incarnation from this world.
完美的夜晚。她梦想着从所有星座的凝视中获得完全的自由，这个梦想包括与每一个来自这个世界的化身一起安全地迁移到一个不同的世界线。
However…
但是..。
"The ark is already destroyed."
“方舟已经被毁了。”
"It can be rebuilt."
“它可以重建。”
Anna Croft looked back at the wrecked ark. It was broken beyond salvage, unable to be re-used ever again.
安娜·克罗夫特回头看了看失事的方舟，它已经破损到无法再使用的地步了。
However, she didn't lose hope.
然而，她并没有失去希望。
"One of the human Incarnations is proficient with crafting Fable weapons. Aileen under your care is another person capable of doing that, as well. Now that there aren't any Myth-grade Constellations to hinder us, we…."
“其中一个人类化身精通制作寓言武器。爱玲在你的照顾下是另一个人能够做到这一点，以及。既然没有任何神话级的星座来阻碍我们，我们......”
"Give me that core."
“把核心给我。”
"…..I see. There is still a 'Myth-grade Constellation' remaining, isn't there?"
“......我明白了，还有一个‘神话级星座’，不是吗?”
Her eyes glowed in red.
她的眼睛闪着红光。
The [Eye of Great Demon]; her power to read this world's past and future began tying me down. She had completely awakened the power of that eye, and currently, she enjoyed Status rivalling a decent Fable-grade Constellation.
她的魔眼;她解读这个世界的过去和未来的能力开始束缚着我。她已经完全唤醒了那只眼睛的力量，现在，她享受着与一个像样的寓言级星座相媲美的地位。
⸢The opponent of all the stars.⸥
所有明星的对手
This was the same as the original, too. Anna Croft hated all the Constellations in this world. And that was why she swore to use the power of stars to destroy the stars themselves. In order to complete her night, she'd not spare me, either.
这个也和原来的一样。安娜·克洛夫特讨厌这个世界上所有的星座。这就是为什么她发誓要用星星的力量来摧毁星星本身。为了完成她的夜晚，她也不会放过我。
⸢If this story was really the same as the original, that is.⸥
如果这个故事真的和原来的故事一样，那就是
The tip of her blade pointing at me seemed to be hesitant over something.
她的刀尖指向我，似乎在犹豫什么。
"….It's not too late, Kim Dok-Ja."
“现在还不晚，金道子。”
The event that had never happened before in the original.
原版中从未发生过的事件。
I sensed Yu Jung-Hyeok, standing not too far while holding the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword]'s grip, being faintly surprised. Anna Croft lightly sucked in her breath and began telling her story.
我感觉到余正赫握着黑天恶魔之剑，站在不远处，隐隐地感到惊讶。安娜·克罗夫特轻轻地吸了口气，开始讲她的故事。
"I… do not know the conclusion you dream of. My [Precognition] can't read that far ahead, you see. However, I can make an educated guess. The fact that my [Precognition] can't see your conclusion means that it's related to that [Final Wall]. However, please consider this carefully, Kim Dok-Ja. Consider whether that is the best course of action for us all, for the rest of humanity or not."
“我.....。.不知道你梦想的结局是什么。你看，我的[预知能力]读不了那么远。不过，我可以做一个有根据的猜测。事实上，我的[预知]不能看到你的结论，这意味着它是有关的[最后的墙]。但是，请你仔细考虑一下，金道子。考虑一下，对我们所有人，对其他人类来说，这是不是最好的做法。”
This would be her first time speaking so many words at once.
这将是她第一次同时说这么多话。
I silently listened to her.
我静静地听着她说。
"Isn't this enough already? You have experienced enough tragedies by now. You've lost so much, and your most precious things have been ridiculed upon. Even then, are you still curious about this world's 'One Single Fable'? Just for something like that, are you going to forsake the survival of the human race?"
“这还不够吗？你现在已经经历了太多的悲剧。你失去了那么多，而你最珍贵的东西却被人嘲笑。即便如此，你仍然对这个世界的“单一寓言”感到好奇吗？就为了这样的事情，你就要放弃人类的生存吗?”
Every word she spoke contained desperation. Words that emphasized her justice, while resenting mine.
她说的每一句话都包含着绝望，这些话强调了她的正义，同时又憎恨我。
And soon, that had become a Fable, too. A blindingly bright Fable wrapped around 'Anna Croft' and the Zarathustras. Although not as clear or flashy as a Constellation's, it nevertheless was indomitable and beautiful. Every facet of the Fable they had compiled together contained their unyielding belief.
很快，它也成为了寓言。一个令人眼花缭乱的寓言，围绕着安娜·克罗夫特和扎拉图斯特拉。虽然没有星座那么清晰，那么耀眼，但它依然坚不可摧，美不胜收。他们共同编辑的寓言的每一个方面都包含着他们坚定不移的信念。
The emotion that countless stars had forgotten about a long time ago. She got this far because she hadn't forgotten her pledge.
无数明星早已遗忘的情感。她能走到这一步，是因为她没有忘记她的承诺。
"Kim Dok-Ja. Please give up on your ■■."
“金道子。请放弃你的■。”
"…."
"...."
"I ask of you. Please, let us head to my 'perfect night' together."
“我请求你，请让我们一起走向我的‘完美之夜’吧。”
Those words caused the eyes of several Zarathustras to grow wider. That was understandable, however. The offer she made just now was basically the same as going against her own beliefs.
这些话使几个查拉图斯特拉的眼睛睁得更大了。然而，这是可以理解的。她刚才提出的建议基本上与她自己的信仰相悖。
What Anna Croft said was tantamount to asking me to become the lone star that would shine in the night of the brand new world.
安娜·克罗夫特的话无异于要求我成为这个崭新世界夜晚唯一闪耀的明星。
Although I was thankful for the offer…
虽然我很感激你的好意..。
[I'm a Constellation.]
我是一个星座
….I could never accept it.
我永远不会接受。
Tsu-chuchuchu….
楚楚..。
I lightly aroused my Status and the vines restricting me all fell away. And as if to mock her goodwill, all of my Fables began telling their stories.
我轻轻地唤起了我的地位，限制我的葡萄藤都掉了下来。仿佛在嘲笑她的善意，我所有的寓言故事开始讲述他们的故事。
[Great Fable, 'Demon World's Spring', has begun its storytelling!]
[伟大的寓言《恶魔世界的春天》已经开始讲故事了!]
The horn of the Demon King grew up on my head, and… [Great Fable, 'Torch that Swallowed the Myth', is howling out!]
恶魔王的号角在我的头上长大，而且......[伟大的寓言，‘吞噬神话的火炬’，正在咆哮而出!]
The [Unbreakable Faith] that slew gods viciously cried out, and… [Great Fable, 'Season of Light and Darkness', is looking at the world of humans.]
那个杀死众神的邪恶的信仰，以及......[伟大的寓言，《光明与黑暗的季节》，正在审视人类的世界。]
Wings I received by betraying the Archangel spread out next. Then… [Great Fable, 'Liberator of the Forgotten Ones', is mocking <Star Stream>.]
背叛了大天使，我得到了翅膀。然后...[伟大的寓言，‘被遗忘者的解放者’，是嘲弄的星流。]
The ominous and evil aura of Chaos enveloped my entire body.
浑身笼罩着不祥的邪恶的混乱气息。
Anna Croft's eyes were trembling uncontrollably. They shifted around urgently as if to find any remaining trace of humanity from my appearance.
安娜·克罗夫特的眼睛不由自主地颤抖起来。他们急切地四处移动，好像要从我的外表上找到任何残留的人性痕迹。
However, there was this thing that we both knew. How could you call an existence a regular human when you had to search so hard to find his humanity?
然而，有一件事我们都知道。当你不得不如此努力地寻找他的人性时，你怎么能称一个存在为正常的人类呢？
"….In the end, you're the same, is that it? Demon King of Salvation."
“......最后，你还是一样，对吧?救世魔王。”
Deep anguish was thickly pervading her murmurs. Rather than a calm revelation of the truth, her voice contained her determination over a certain something, instead.
她的低语中充满了深深的痛苦。她的声音不是冷静地揭示真相，而是包含着她对某件事的决心。
"I shall kill you right here."
“我要在这里杀了你。”
Stupendous Status began flooding out from Anna Croft's figure. I already knew that she had been conserving her strength while getting this far.
惊人的地位开始从安娜·克罗夫特的身影中涌出。我已经知道她一直在保存她的力量，而走到这一步。
"Even if you're a 'Myth-grade Constellation', you can't stop me with your current physical condition. Besides, your companions don't seem to be in their right frame of minds, so I…."
“即使你是一个‘神话级的星座’，你现在的身体状况也不能阻止我。此外，你的同伴们似乎心情不太好，所以我......”
Jeong Hui-Won, Yi Hyeon-Seong, Yi Gil-Yeong, and even Shin Yu-Seung, too. They still hadn't recovered themselves yet, it seemed. Even Han Su-Yeong was wordlessly staring at me. Her eyes, the ones that always trusted in me, were shaking for the first time ever.
郑惠元，李贤成，李吉英，甚至还有申玉升。他们似乎还没有恢复过来。连韩素英也默默地看着我。她的眼睛，那些一直信任我的眼睛，第一次在颤抖。
Perhaps it was inevitable. They had witnessed their sponsors getting slaughtered right before their own eyes, after all.
也许这是不可避免的，毕竟，他们亲眼目睹了他们的赞助商被屠杀。
"Let's end it here."
“就在这里结束吧。”
A dozen or so Zarathustras all dashed towards Yu Jung-Hyeok in an instant. And right next second, Anna Croft approached me like a streak of light, her dagger stabbing towards my neck.
一瞬间，十几个左右的查拉图斯特拉斯都向余正赫冲去。就在下一秒，安娜·克罗夫特像一道光线一样向我走来，她的匕首刺向我的脖子。
I calmly watched the tip of that blade, before opening my mouth.
我平静地看着刀尖，然后张开嘴。
[Enough with your pranks, Loki.]
别再恶作剧了，洛基
Along with those words, Anna Croft's movement froze up.
随着这些话语，安娜·克罗夫特的动作僵住了。
I lightly raised my finger and brushed her dagger aside.
我轻轻地举起手指，把她的匕首拨到一边。
Looking clearly astonished, she muttered out in sheer confusion next.
她看上去很惊讶，接着又含糊不清地喃喃自语。
"W-what is the meaning of…. "
“......是什么意思?”
[Constellation that likes changing gender is cackling away.]
[喜欢改变性别的星座在咯咯笑]
"Loki, you! This is not what you promi…!"
“洛基，你!这不是你所承诺的......!”
A massive amount of Status bore down on Anna Croft and the Zarathustras. The so-called Constellation that liked changing gender, the final star of <Asgard>, 'Loki' was now standing there.
大量的社会地位压在了安娜·克罗夫特和查拉图斯特拉夫妇身上。所谓的“星座”喜欢改变性别，它是仙宫的最后一颗明星，“洛基”现在就站在那里。
Not one among the Zarathustras could resist his power. Because it was precisely him who freed them from the <Asgard>'s control.
查拉图斯特拉家族中没有一个人能抵抗他的力量。因为正是他将他们从阿斯加德的控制中解放出来。
"But, I'm doing this for humani….!"
“但是，我这么做是为了人类......!”
Those were Anna Croft's last words before she passed out. The core fell out from her hand and rolled on the ground towards my feet. I bent down and picked it up.
