“You’re being a jerk right now, so please, just stop.”
“你现在就是个混蛋，所以拜托，别再这样了。”
“Ah, right. How many times can you use [Precognition] today, young miss?”
“啊，对了，小姑娘，你今天能用[预知]几次呢?”
Anna Croft glared at me with a dumbfounded expression, before making her reply. “Three times.”
安娜·克罗夫特目瞪口呆地看着我，然后回答道:“三次。”
“Don’t use them unnecessarily, and activate them only after I give you the signal.”
“不要不必要地使用它们，只有在我给你信号之后才能激活它们。”
“Why should I listen to….”
“我为什么要听......”
“You should listen, so we can finish this sh*tty scenario for good.”
“你应该听我说，这样我们才能永远完成这个糟糕的剧本。”
From afar, we could hear the screams of the Constellations and Incarnations. The hunting had begun already. Along with the horrifying explosions, the oppressive voice of the aloof, proud Archangel rocked the entire forest.
从远处，我们可以听到星座和化身的尖叫声。狩猎已经开始了。伴随着可怕的爆炸声，冷漠而骄傲的大天使的压抑的声音震撼了整个森林。
[You dare to use me as the subject matter for a scenario ]
[你竟敢把我当成剧情的主角 ]
Anna Croft and I hid in the nearby bushes and observed the battleground.
我和安娜·克罗夫特躲在附近的灌木丛里观察战场。
We couldn’t spot Asmodeus anywhere yet. Instead of him, though, almost all the participants still remaining on ‘Middle Island No.3’ had gathered here in the ‘Fertile Forest’.
我们在任何地方都找不到阿斯莫德斯。然而，几乎所有仍留在中岛3号的参与者都聚集在肥沃的森林里，而不是他。
Most of them just so happened to be ‘Evil’ or ‘Neutral’-type Constellations. There were many ‘Historical Figure’ grade Constellations, and I even spotted a lower-ranked Demon King, too.
它们中的大多数恰好是“邪恶”或“中立”类型的星座。有很多“历史人物”级别的星座，我甚至还看到了一个级别较低的恶魔王。
It was ‘Darkness of no Value’ Belial, from the 68th Demon World. He must’ve shown up here after heeding Asmodeus’s call. Not just him, but other Constellations were each carrying a longsword of the 2nd generation at the moment.
这是来自第68世界恶魔世界的‘无价值的黑暗’恶魔。他一定是听从了阿斯莫德斯的召唤才来这里的。不仅仅是他，其他星座此刻都各自拿着一把第二代的长剑。
[Attack him!!]
[攻击他!!]
Michael watched the Constellations rushing towards him with Belial in the lead and fumed in pure rage.
迈克尔看着星座冲向他，恶魔领先，怒不可遏。
[A measly little lower-ranked Demon King dares to…. You all must’ve gone mad as a group!]
(一个微不足道的低等级魔王竟敢......你们一定都疯了!)
The Archangel used a stupendously powerful wind pressure to blow Belial away, and activated his Status to generate a barrier of winds. However, there were some who managed to break past the barrier to still take shots at him.
天使长利用强大得惊人的风压把恶魔吹走，并启动他的状态产生风障。然而，还是有一些人设法冲过障碍物，仍然向他开枪。
[Constellation, ‘Hard-work Specialist’, has activated the skill, ‘Mass-produced Physical Sword Aura’!]
[星座，‘勤奋的专家’，已经激活了技能，‘大量生产的物理剑光环’!]
The exact same skill was activated simultaneously from the longswords held by the participants. Waves of yellow, or even blue, coloured sword auras physically manifesting themselves sliced past Michael’s Status and advanced forward. The Archangel formed a mocking grin.
完全相同的技能是同时激活从长剑的参与者举行。一波又一波的黄色，甚至是蓝色的宝剑光环掠过了迈克尔的身份，向前推进。大天使露出嘲弄的笑容。
[….Ether Blade? What a crazy bunch of fools.]
[...乙醚刀片?真是一群疯狂的傻瓜。]
The revelation I leaked to the world through Yu Sang-Ah was fake. Without a doubt, no ‘Swordmaster’ out there would be capable of killing Archangel Michael. However, just because it was a ‘fake’ revelation, that didn’t mean it was complete rubbish with no odds of coming true, either.
我通过余相雅向世界透露的消息是假的。毫无疑问，没有‘剑士大师’能够杀死米迦勒。然而，仅仅因为它是一个‘假的’启示，并不意味着它完全是垃圾，也没有可能成真。
Ch-ch-ch-ch-cheut!!
切，切，切，切!！
[Probability of the 2nd generation has granted a powerful buff effect on the applicable skills!]
[第二代的概率赋予了适用技能一个强大的增益效果!]
The [Physical Sword Aura] was currently being ridiculed as an exclusive skill of the Transcenders. However, there was a period of time in the past when the 2nd generation viewed it as the greatest skill ever.
【物理剑光环】目前被嘲笑为超级骑士的专有技能。然而，在过去的一段时间里，第二代人将其视为有史以来最伟大的技能。
[It’s working! Keep cutting him down!!]
(起作用了!继续砍他!!)
Chi-eeek!
嘿嘿！
Michael’s wind barrier began melting away gradually from the continual baptism of the sword auras. He got flustered and tried to activate a new Fable, but then, a jet-black light of Ether suddenly sliced down from the air.
由于持续不断的剑光的洗礼，迈克尔的风障开始逐渐消失。他慌了神，试图激活一个新的寓言，但然后，一个黑色的乙醚光突然从空中切下来。
Sliiiice!!
滑溜溜!！
Like magic, space separated, as if it had been sliced away in its entirety. Only the lengthy claw mark left behind by a Demon King was visible from the gaps of the crumbling barrier.
就像魔法一样，空间被分隔开来，就好像整个空间被分割开来一样。只有恶魔王留下的长爪印在破碎的屏障缝隙中清晰可见。
[I always wondered whether an Archangel without wings can fly or not.]
[我一直想知道一个没有翅膀的大天使能不能飞。]
Michael’s torn wing moved with great difficulty in the air. Through the falling feathers, Asmodeus’s smiling mug revealed itself to the world.
迈克尔撕裂的翅膀在空中艰难地移动着。透过掉落的羽毛，阿斯莫德斯微笑的脸向世界展示了自己。
[And I finally got my answer today. The wing’s existence is not related to the Archangel’s ability to fly.]
(今天我终于得到了答案。翅膀的存在与大天使的飞行能力无关。)
[….Asmodeus!!]
[ ... Asmodeus! ! ]
Taken over by his rage, Michael poured out his magical energy towards the Demon. Unfortunately, he couldn’t aim at his target properly after his balance was affected due to the damage to his Incarnation body. He began wasting his energy, instead.
被他的愤怒所控制，迈克尔向恶魔倾吐了他的魔法能量。不幸的是，由于化身身体的伤害，他的平衡受到影响，无法正确瞄准目标。相反，他开始浪费自己的精力。
On the other hand, Asmodeus used other Constellations to diligently pile on further injuries to Michael.
另一方面，阿斯莫德斯利用其他星座不断地对迈克尔造成进一步的伤害。
As expected of Asmodeus; I couldn’t help but marvel at this battle.
正如阿斯莫德斯所料，我不禁对这场战斗感到惊奇。
“We should get going. That Demon King might end up snatching away our Myth-grade Fable at this rate.”
“我们该走了。这样下去，魔王可能会把我们神话级的寓言拿走的。”
“No, it’s not the time yet, ma’am.”
“不，还不是时候，夫人。”
My relaxed voice caused a flustered expression to form on Anna Croft’s face. As long as she didn’t use up her [Precognition] allowance for today, she’d never have guessed what was about to transpire soon.
我放松的声音使安娜·克罗夫特的脸上露出慌张的表情。只要她今天不用完她的预知津贴，她就永远不会猜到即将发生什么。
[Fable, ‘Evil that Destroys Evil’, has begun its storytelling.]
[寓言《摧毁邪恶的邪恶》已经开始讲故事了]
Pitch-black aura suddenly began gathering around Michael’s figure and enveloped him like some kind of a bud. It was hard to believe that such corrupted energy actually belonged to an Archangel.
漆黑的光环突然开始聚集在迈克尔的身体周围，像花蕾一样把他包围起来。很难相信这种堕落的能量实际上属于一个大天使。
「And the ‘Good’ has chosen to walk the path of ‘Evil’ in order to destroy other ‘Evil’.」
「正义选择走邪恶之路，以摧毁其他邪恶」
Constellations realised that something ominous was about to happen and they continued to pour out their barrage of powerful attacks, but too bad, they failed to scratch that black bud even once.
星座意识到不祥之事即将发生，他们继续发动猛烈的攻击，但糟糕的是，他们甚至一次都没有抓到那个黑色的花蕾。
Instead, it seemed to suck in nutrients by absorbing the power of the surroundings, and slowly began blooming itself.
相反，它似乎通过吸收周围环境的力量来吸收营养物质，并且慢慢地开始自我繁殖。
[Archangel Michael has become corrupted!]
[米迦勒已经腐败了!]
While witnessing this overwhelming spectacle, I recalled a certain part of ‘Ways of Survival’ in my head.
在目睹这一令人难以抗拒的景象时，我在脑海中回忆起《生存之道》中的某一部分。
「Not every Constellation of this world was divided into ‘Constellations’ and ‘Demon Kings’. There is just one creature, an existence that could use the powers of a Constellation as well as a Demon King at the same time.」
「并非世界上每个星座都被划分为「星座」及「恶魔王」。世界上只有一种生物，它可以同时使用星座和魔王的能力
The sole being within the lengthy history of <Eden> who ate the [Star Relic Fruit]… (TL: First appeared in Ch 316, initially TLed as ‘star fruit’.) 「No demon shall survive upon witnessing his true appearance.」
在伊甸园漫长的历史中，唯一的一个人吃了[星状果实]......(TL:最初出现在第316章，最初命名为‘杨桃’。)“见证恶魔的真实面目后，任何恶魔都不得存活”
Ku-gugugugu!!
咕咕咕咕!！
“….Oh, my god,” whispered Anna Croft.
“......哦，我的上帝，”安娜小声说。
Something was waking up from within the pitch-black darkness.
有什么东西正从漆黑的黑暗中苏醒过来。
First, a black pair of wings. And then, the horns signifying a Demon King.
首先，一对黑色的翅膀。然后，角象征着一个恶魔王。
[Demon King, ‘King of Corrupted Angels’, is scanning the battlefield.]
恶魔王，“堕落天使之王”正在扫描战场
The so-called ‘King of Corrupted Angels’ - that was Archangel Michael’s Modifier after he transformed into a Demon King.
这个所谓的堕落天使之王，是米迦勒变身为恶魔之王后的修饰语。
Kuwaaaaaah-!!
我的神！
With a simple flick of its hand, all Constellations leaning towards ‘Evil’ were swept away clean. Even if they were seemingly on the same ‘Evil’ side now, the difference in their classes was simply on another realm altogether. This was the true power of Michael, an Archangel on the level of a Myth-grade.
它轻轻一挥手，所有倾向邪恶的星座都被一扫而空。即使他们现在看起来是站在同一个邪恶的一边，他们的阶级差异仅仅是在另一个领域。这就是米迦勒的真正力量，一个神话级别的大天使。
Even Asmodeus was forming a hardened expression now.
甚至连阿斯莫德斯现在也形成了一种强硬的表达方式。
[This… wasn’t in the revelation.]
[这...不在启示录里]
Soon after, Michael’s Status rained down, and several Demon Kings were flung away helplessly. The body of Asmodeus’s Incarnation must’ve received a tremendous amount of damage, because it too, began faltering about.
不久之后，迈克尔的地位一落千丈，几个恶魔国王无助地被抛弃了。阿斯莫德斯化身的身体一定受到了巨大的伤害，因为它也开始摇摇欲坠。
That was when I stood up from my spot.
就在那时，我从我的座位上站起来。
“It’s time.”
“是时候了。”
“You want to join the battle now?!”
“你现在想加入战斗吗?!”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
“….Didn’t you see what happened just now? Even if your target is that Archangel, this is….”
“...你没看到刚才发生了什么吗?即使你的目标是那个大天使，这也是...”
“What made you think that my target is the ‘Archangel’?”
“是什么让你认为我的目标是‘大天使’?”
After hearing my question, Anna Croft could only blink her eyes in sheer dumbfoundedness. Her [Eye of the Great Demon] began burning up in a reddish hue.
安娜·克罗夫特听了我的问题，目瞪口呆地眨着眼睛。她的[大恶魔之眼]开始燃烧成红色。
“C-can it be…. ”
”会不会是...?”
We could see Asmodeus’s body being flung away like a puppet with its strings cut in the distance.
我们可以看到阿斯莫德斯的身体像木偶一样被抛到远处，绳子被切断了。
From the get-go, I wasn’t planning to face off against the Corrupted Archangel. And besides, he wasn’t the only one possessing a Myth-grade Fable.
从一开始，我就没打算和堕落的大天使对决。此外，他不是唯一一个拥有神话级寓言的人。
[Your targetted Modifier is ‘Devil of Lust and Wrath’.] (TL: Devil of Lust and Fury → Devil of Lust and Wrath)
你的目标修饰语是“欲望与愤怒的魔鬼”(TL:《欲望与愤怒的魔鬼》→《欲望与愤怒的魔鬼》)
I unsheathed my sword as the message popped up in the air and spoke to her.
我拔出剑，信息突然出现在空中，对她说话。
“Well, let’s go and get ourselves a Myth-grade Fable, shall we?”
“好吧，我们去找一个神话级别的寓言吧，好吗?”
