Veronica’s high walls. Giants filled the plains below the highlands. They were once humans but were now disasters. Gong Pildu roared as all the turrets on the castle fired. “Damn bastards. This is my land!”
维罗妮卡的高墙。巨人充斥着高地下面的平原。他们曾经是人类，但现在是灾难。城堡里所有的炮塔都被击毁了，宫飞渡大吼起来。“该死的混蛋。这是我的土地!”
There were approximately 50 Japanese people who ran through the plains. This level of strength meant that more than half the disasters of Peace Land had gathered.
大约有50个日本人在平原上奔跑。这种程度的力量意味着和平之地一半以上的灾难已经聚集起来。
Dududududu!
嘟嘟嘟嘟！
“Get lost―!” Gong Pildu was slightly upset as he fired the guns. He didn’t know how he got into this situation. However, Lee Jihye thought that the aftereffects of Kim Dokja destroying the Green Zones still remained.
“滚开!”龚皮尔都开枪时有点不高兴。他不知道自己是怎么陷入这种境地的。然而，李继惠认为，金东子摧毁绿区的后果仍然存在。
Lee Jihye watched the great army of disasters and her fingers trembled. “Damn, I wish there was a lake…”
李智慧看着这支浩浩荡荡的灾难大军，她的手指颤抖着:“该死，我真希望有一个湖......”
“Let’s do as much as we can.”
“让我们尽力而为吧。”
Lee Hyunsung walked over from the lookout post and stood beside Lee Jihye. Lee Jihye turned around and saw Lee Boksoon. Lee Jihye’s eyes shone. “Grandmother, can you borrow the power of your sponsor?”
李贤成从瞭望台走过来，站在李智慧旁边。李吉赫转过身来，看到了李博克松。李智慧的眼睛闪闪发光。“奶奶，你能借用一下你担保人的力量吗?”
“Huhu, do you want my ancestor to continue their service?”
“虎虎，你想让我的祖先继续为他们服务吗?”
“Ah, this is really… Soldier ahjussi, Heewon unni’s group still isn’t here?”
“啊，这真是......大叔，希望你的队伍还没到?”
Lee Hyunsung nodded heavily. “There is no news of the next group. Before he left, Dokja-ssi said they would be doing a bonus scenario…”
李贤星沉重地点了点头。“没有下一批人的消息。在他离开之前，Dokja-ssi说他们会做一个额外的方案......”
“Damn. Then we have to stop them.”
“该死，那我们必须阻止他们。”
Then dim shadows appeared above them in the sky. Lee Jihye discovered the small insects filling the sky and was frightened.
接着天空中出现了一些朦胧的影子。李智慧发现天空中充满了小昆虫，吓坏了。
“Ack!”
“啊!”
There were a variety of flying monsters mixed in. Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung had finished preparing the beast and insect army. Lee Gilyoung was sitting on an insect that resembled a wasp and waved his hand.
里面混杂着各种各样的飞行怪物。李吉英和申永成已经完成了兽和昆虫军队的准备工作。李吉杨坐在一只像黄蜂的昆虫上，挥了挥手。
Meanwhile, the disasters arrived at the castle and started to break down the walls.
与此同时，灾难降临城堡，城墙开始倒塌。
Lee Hyunsung spoke in a tense voice. “…They’re coming.”
李贤星用紧张的声音说:“......他们来了。”
The full-fledged siege began.
全面围攻开始了。
Dududududu!
嘟嘟嘟嘟！
On one side, Gong Pildu fired while on the other side, the small people shouted.
一边是宫皮渡开枪，另一边是小人们喊叫。
“Fight!”
“战斗!”
“For Veronica!”
“为了维罗妮卡!”
The voices resonated through the castle as the walls were gradually crushed by the disaster’s kicks. Now the term ‘disaster’ seemed really fitting for these humans.
这些声音在城堡里回响，城墙被灾难的脚踢得粉碎。现在“灾难”这个词似乎很适合这些人类。
‘Would I be like that if I chose to become a disaster?’
如果我选择成为一个灾难，我会变成那样吗
Lee Jihye remembered Kim Dokja’s words and bit her lips. The answer was still unknown.
李智慧想起了金独子的话，咬了咬嘴唇，答案仍然不明。
The party held on better than expected.
这次聚会比预期的要好。
There were Gong Pildu’s guns and Lee Hyunsung’s Great Mountain Smash that dealt effective blows to the disasters. The large number of insects and monsters also bought time.
有龚皮尔都的枪和李贤星的大山粉碎，有效地打击了灾难。大量的昆虫和怪物也赢得了时间。
At this rate, they might be able to protect the castle. This was what Lee Jihye thought until black clouds covered the horizon.
照这样下去，他们也许能保护城堡。直到乌云遮住了地平线，李继惠一直是这么想的。
“What is that?” Lee Jihye doubted her eyes.
“那是什么?”李智慧怀疑自己的眼睛。
[The king of disasters has received the scenario buff effect.] [Some of the probability constraints on the constellation ‘Sovereign of Eight Heads’ has been lifted.]
[灾难之王已经收到了场景增强效果。][关于“八头主权”星座的一些概率限制已经解除。]
“Crazy, how do we defeat that?”
“疯了，我们怎么才能战胜它?”
Something the size of a huge fortress was coming this way. There were eight heads and a tail.
有一个巨大的堡垒大小的东西朝这边来了，有八个正面和一条尾巴。
‘Ahjussi! Come quickly!’
大叔!快来
Lee Jihye inwardly screamed.
李智慧暗自尖叫起来。
***

We left Kyrgios’ territory and moved through the rocky area towards the plains.
我们离开了基尔乔斯的领地，穿过多石的区域向平原进发。
Asuka Ren opened her mouth, “I think the Sovereign of Eight Heads has already started acting. I can’t feel his call in this area.”
明日香任开口道:“我想八首之君已经开始表演了。在这个地区，我感觉不到他的召唤。”
“Ren-ssi, are you okay?”
“莲茜，你没事吧?”
“I can resist it to a certain degree thanks to my sponsor. However, the incarnations with weak sponsors have already flocked to the plains.”
“多亏了我的赞助商，我在一定程度上能够抵制住这种诱惑。然而，那些实力较弱的赞助商已经蜂拥而至。”
In the case of the Absolute Throne, there was a difference in the intensity of the command depending on the distance. There was nothing absolute in the Star Steam, even if it had the ‘absolute’ qualifier.
在绝对王座的情况下，命令的强度取决于距离。星际蒸汽号没有什么绝对的东西，即使它有“绝对的”限定词。
Along the way, we found the bodies of the small people. Asuka Ren spoke with a bitter expression.
一路上，我们发现了一些小人的尸体。明日香任带着苦涩的表情说道。
“…Not everyone in Japan chose to be a disaster.”
“......并非所有日本人都选择成为灾难。”
“I know.”
“我知道。”
I read the original so I could say it clearly. Apart from Asuka Ren, the Japanese people who became ‘small people’ couldn’t be seen because they were already dead or hiding somewhere in this world.
我读了原文，所以我可以说得很清楚。除了明日香任，日本人谁成为’小人’不能被看到，因为他们已经死亡或隐藏在这个世界的某个地方。
“In fact, I don’t think the Japanese people who choose to be a disaster are bad. They are just ordinary.”
“事实上，我不认为选择成为灾难的日本人是坏人，他们只是普通人。”
In the original work, a number of Korean incarnations also chose to be a disaster. This was probably a normal choice for ordinary humans. Han Sooyoung also agreed.
在最初的作品中，一些韩国人也选择了灾难。这可能是普通人的正常选择。韩秀英也同意了。
“To put it bluntly, I didn’t choose to be a small person. Kim Dokja also didn’t make this choice to protect the small people.”
“坦率地说，我没有选择做一个小人物。KimDokja也没有为了保护小人物而做出这样的选择。”
Han Sooyoung’s words were sharp.
韩素英的话很尖锐。
[The small planet’s constellation is looking at you with hurt eyes.]
[这颗小行星的星座正用伤心的眼神看着你。]
It didn’t matter if it was for the sake of the small people or the disasters.In the end, the fight here was a spectacle.
无论是为了小人物还是为了灾难，最终，这里的战斗是一场奇观。
People became immersed in their role and forgot this fact. They sold their lives to make money. Then that money would be used to buy other stories. Maybe humans always lived this way.
人们沉浸在自己的角色中，忘记了这个事实。他们为了赚钱而出卖了自己的生命。然后，这些钱将被用来购买其他的故事。也许人类一直都是这样生活的。
Then a huge aura rose from the rocky area. It was quite far away but I could feel the formidable aura from here.
然后一个巨大的光环从岩石地区升起。虽然距离很远，但我能从这里感受到强大的气氛。
“Kyrgios has noticed. Hurry.”
“基叔已经注意到了，快点。”
I ran away after asking him to teach me. I would suffer incredible pain if I was caught. We started to run across the plains in the direction of Veronica.
我请他教我之后就跑掉了。如果我被抓住，我会遭受难以置信的痛苦。我们开始向维罗妮卡的方向跑过平原。
In the midst of running, Asuka Ren often looked back at the rocky area. Han Sooyoung glanced at Ren and asked, “Are you sorry?”
在奔跑的过程中，明日香任经常回头看看岩石地区。韩淑英看了一眼任，问道:“你觉得对不起吗?”
“Huh? No.”
“啊?没有。”
“Don’t you feel that it is weird? It is probably the first time you saw a character that you made.”
“你不觉得很奇怪吗?这可能是你第一次看到自己创作的角色。”
“…Yes.”
“...是的。”
“Furthermore, he is handsome.”
“而且，他很英俊。”
I didn’t say it before but Kyrgios was handsome. In Ways of Survival, a handsome person was often described as ‘comparable to Yoo Jonghyuk’ and this was a perfect way to describe Kyrgios.
我之前没有说过，但是基叔很帅。在《生存之道》一书中，一个英俊的人经常被描述为可以与YooJonghyuk相媲美，这是描述Kyrgios的完美方式。
The problem was his height and his temper…
问题是他的身高和脾气..。
How did it feel to see a person you created breathing and talking? If the author of Ways of Survival was alive somewhere then wouldn’t he feel something similar when looking at Yoo Jonghyuk?
看到一个你创造出来的人呼吸和说话，你是什么感觉？如果《生存之道》的作者还活着，那么当他看着YooJonghyuk的时候，难道不会有类似的感觉吗？
Asuka Ren spoke to me. “Ah right, Dokja-ssi. I have a question.”
明日香任对我说:“好吧，独子，我有个问题。”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
“How did you gain Kyrgios’ favour?”
“你是如何获得基叔的青睐的?”
“His favour?”
“他的恩惠?”
“I got the impression that Kyrgios liked Dokja-ssi.”
“我的印象是基叔喜欢Dokja-ssi。”
“…Huh?”
“嗯?”
“Kyrgios acts angry when he likes someone.
“当Kyrgios喜欢某人时，他会表现得很愤怒。
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is listening.]
[“火之法官”星座正在倾听。]
That reminded me, Kyrgios treated me quite well despite me not having talent. Despite all the times he swore at me…
这提醒了我，基叔对我很好，尽管我没有天赋。尽管他一直咒骂我..。
“Dokja-ssi.”
“ Dokja-ssi。”
I looked back at Ren’s words and my expression stiffened along with the two women. Dark smoke was rising from the place where I was looking. It was in the direction of Veronica Castle. We glanced at each other and started running.
我回头看了看任的话，我的表情也跟着两个女人僵硬起来。黑烟从我所看到的地方升起。是往维罗妮卡·卡索那边去的。我们互相瞥了一眼，然后开始跑。
Not long afterwards, the battlefield of Veronica Castle was revealed. There were the bodies of the fallen monsters as well as the trampled corpses of the small people. I also saw people whose heads were crushed. Perhaps this was Lee Hyunsung’s work.
不久之后，维罗妮卡·卡斯尔的战场就暴露了。这里有倒下的怪物的尸体，也有被踩过的小人物的尸体。我还看到有人的头被压碎了。也许这就是李贤星的工作。
As we got closer, the number of small people corpses increased and the bodies of the Japanese incarnations decreased.
随着我们越走越近，小人尸体的数量增加了，而日本化身的尸体则减少了。
No way, I couldn’t be late. Then after a while, we witnessed a terrible scene at the back of the shattered palace.
不行，我不能迟到。过了一会儿，我们在破碎的宫殿后面目睹了一个可怕的场面。
Dududududu!
嘟嘟嘟嘟！
Gong Pildu’s cannons fired.
宫飞渡的大炮开火了。
Fortunately, all the party members were safe. Lee Hyunsung was badly injured while Lee Jihye and the children were exhausted, but their lives were intact. However, it was dangerous. They were fighting…
幸运的是，所有的党员都安然无恙。李贤星受了重伤，李智慧和孩子们都筋疲力尽，但他们的生命安然无恙。然而，这是危险的。他们在打架。
“Crazy!”
“疯了!”
Han Sooyoung shouted and stepped back towards me.
韩素英喊道，然后向后退了几步。
“Ahh! Izumi…”
“啊!泉......”
Asuka Ren groaned with pain as she grabbed her temples and fell down. 20 Japanese people were united around one being.
明日香任痛苦呻吟，她抓住她的太阳穴，跌倒了。20个日本人团结在一个人的周围。
Behind the body of a man whose pupils had turned black, there was a shadow of a huge monster that covered the whole sky. The heads and tail were reminiscent of a blood red valley. The king of the disasters was in a streamlined form.
在一个瞳孔变黑的人的身体后面，有一个巨大的怪物的影子笼罩着整个天空。头部和尾部让人想起血红色的山谷。灾难之王是以流线型的形式出现的。
Suddenly, one head bent down towards the nearest small person. Th small person turned white with terror and the snake smiled at him. There was a crunch and only the lower body of the small person remained.
突然，一个人的头低向最近的一个小人。这个小个子吓得脸色发白，蛇朝他微笑。嘎吱一声，只剩下那个小个子的下半身。
“S-Save me! Save me!”
“救救我!救救我!”
The flesh of the small person was sucked into the mouth of the red snake. Nobody was able to stop it. All the small people, including my party moments, stood like hardened mannequins and watched the scene.
小人的肉被吸进了红蛇的嘴里。没有人能够阻止它。所有的小人物，包括我参加派对的时刻，都像经过锻炼的人体模型一样站在那里看着这一幕。
I belatedly realized. It wasn’t because my party members fought hard that they were unharmed. The gunfire continued but it was resignation, not killing intent that filled Gong Pildu’s face. It was the same for Lee Hyunsung, Lee Jihye and the others. The reason they were still alive because they were meals for the narrative grade constellation.
我后来才意识到。并不是因为我的党员们拼命反抗，他们才没有受伤。枪声还在继续，但龚皮尔度的脸上充满的不是杀人的意图，而是辞职。李贤星、李智慧和其他人的情况也是如此。它们之所以还活着，是因为它们是叙事级星座的食物。
Every time the mouth of the snake opened, a few small people would disappear.
每当蛇的嘴张开，就会有几个小人消失。
[The small planet’s constellation is struggling with pain.]
[这颗小行星的星座正在痛苦中挣扎。]
[The small planet’s constellation is screaming.]
[这颗小行星的星座在尖叫]
Han Sooyoung muttered. “Shit… what the hell is this?”
韩秀英咕哝道:“妈的......这是什么鬼东西?”
One of Japan’s three great villains, the father of Shutendoji, a flood control mythical monster. That monster was the ‘Sovereign of Eight Heads’, Yamata no Orochi. Maybe I would be torn apart by his teeth if I fought against him.
日本三大反派之一，Shutendoji之父，一个神话中的防洪怪物。那个怪物就是八个头的八岐大蛇。如果我和他对抗，也许我会被他的牙齿撕碎。
“D-Don’t fight. We absolutely can’t win.” Asuka Ren mumbled and the entranced Han Sooyoung grabbed me.
“别打了，我们绝对不会赢的。”明日香喃喃自语，入迷的韩淑英抓住了我。
“Kim Dokja. Surely we aren’t going to fight that? Let’s run away. Yes?”
“KimDokja。我们肯定不会去打这场仗吧?我们逃走吧。好吗?”
I didn’t answer. The giant head once again swept over the small people. It was a natural movement, like taking fish out of a fish tank.
我没有回答。巨人的脑袋又一次扫过了小人物。这是一个自然的动作，就像把鱼从鱼缸里捞出来一样。
Han Sooyoung kept urging me, “It isn’t too late. Now we can save the kids. Quickly bring them and run…”
韩秀英一直催我说:“现在还不晚，现在我们可以救孩子了，快带他们走吧......”
Kwaduduk!
夸杜克！
“Ah!
“啊！
They’re all going to die!”
他们都会死的!”
I shook my head.
我摇了摇头。
“Let’s wait a bit longer.”
“我们再等一会儿吧。”
If I acted now, that guy would never move. Just a bit longer…
如果我现在采取行动，那个家伙就不会动了，只要再多一点时间..。
Then the snake’s mouth headed towards Lee Jihye. Damn. I reflexively got up and ran forward. However, the snake’s head was moving quickly towards Lee Jihye.
然后蛇的嘴朝着李智慧的方向游去。该死。我条件反射地站起身，向前跑去。然而，蛇的头很快地朝着李继惠的方向移动。
At this moment, something moved faster than me. One of the snake’s heads fell to the ground with a pained scream. The cloud of dust was lift and a man could be seen standing on the snake’s head. He looked at me with a distinctive cold expression. “…Kim Dokja.”
此时此刻，有什么东西移动得比我快。一个蛇头痛苦地尖叫着掉到地上。尘土飞扬，可以看见一个人站在蛇的头上。他用一种与众不同的冷漠表情看着我。“...KimDokja。”
Yes, why did he always show up late? I smiled at him. “You are late, Yoo Jonghyuk.”
是的，为什么他总是迟到呢?我笑着对他说:“你迟到了，柳永玉。”
He had become a small person like me but I felt a strong energy from Yoo Jonghyuk. This person was holding a violet and glossy ornamental knife. As expected, he obtained the knife.
他已经变成了一个像我一样的小人物，但是我感受到了YooJonghyuk身上的强大能量。这个人手里拿着一把紫罗兰色的光滑的装饰刀。不出所料，他拿到了那把刀。
We stared at each other without speaking before simultaneously turning towards the disaster.
我们面面相觑，一言不发，同时转向灾难。
[The constellation ‘Sovereign of Eight Heads’ has revealed killing intent towards to you.]
[“八首之主”星座向你透露了杀戮意图。]
Yamata no Orochi has his mealtime disturbed and his body started to swell up.
八岐大蛇的进餐时间被打扰，他的身体开始肿胀。
“Stay away Kim Dokja. I will catch this guy.”
“离KimDokja远点，我会抓住这个家伙的。”
“No, not this time.”
“不，这次不行。”
I stepped towards Yoo Jonghyuk.
我走向柳钟玉。
[The exclusive skill ‘Bookmark’ can now be activated.]
[独占技能‘书签’现在可以被激活。]
I felt the strong white energy seething in my heart.
我感觉到强烈的白色能量在我的心中翻腾。
“This time I have to catch him.”
“这次我一定要抓住他。”
In this scenario, I would break the principle of no killing that I had been maintaining.
