Chapter 499: Episode 95 – Gaecheon/開天 (3)
We avoided the spoke to .
[We have finally co this far, child.]
One of Briareus’s hands lightly brushed past my head.
[This battlefield is for you.]
The titans challenging the heaven’s authority stood up while stepping on the night. Their roars shook the skies of , their Statuses mighty enough to threaten Zeus’s throne.
And in the centre of this battlefield, Zeus was fighting fiercely against Hades. The collision of these two Myth-grade Constellations caused the pitch-black night and day to intermingle, and the world’s ti and space collapsed.
Persephone commanding the Underworld’s army addressed directly.
[Now, go. Do not ever look back. Go, and witness the end you wish to see.]
I nodded and raised my tottering body up. I swallowed the [Life and Death Pill] Yi Seol-Hwa gave , and all of my fried nerves began recovering bit by bit. I unsteadily walked forward in the battlefield where flesh got torn apart and blood was raining down.
Han Su-Yeong and Yu Jung-Hyeok, plus Anna Croft, stood there waiting for , having broken past this scene of pure pandemonium earlier.
Han Su-Yeong ran up to and supported my figure. I looked behind and saw the corpses of heroes, their eyes still wide open; the stars that fell from the skies; Fables that would not be told anymore, were now looking at with resentful eyes.
⸢This was the path I had chosen.⸥
I knew this would happen from the beginning. It was obvious that the Underworld would make their move if I ca here.
For the sake of ■■ that I desired, I used all of their Fables.
[Great Fable, ‘Torch that Swallowed the Myth’, is crying out!]
We could see the exit of in the distance. That was where we had to go. However, there was a Constellation blocking our path.
I had to ask him why. “Dionysus, are you going to stop us?”
The ‘God of Wine and Ecstasy’, Dionysus leading his congregation was looking straight back at . He must’ve downed several bottles of booze already, because his cheeks were quite obviously flushed red.
He stared at with drunken, unfocused eyes, before opening his mouth while gripping the wine bottle. [All of you, step aside.]
The words of the master prompted the Bacchus’s fanatic believers to make way. And we walked on that path. The Siren’s song and Orpheus’s musical performance could be heard wafting in from sowhere. Also, I heard the sound of soone I knew dying among them, too.
⸢Kim Dok-Ja didn’t look back.⸥
My view shook as if I was intoxicated, too.
Yet, we walked and walked so more. Eventually, we reached ’s exit.
Dionysus was right behind us. If I look back, I should be able to see his expression filled with sorrow. He was a Constellation who really liked our story.
[Kim Dok-Ja. My has no place in the conclusion you’re heading to, right?]
I couldn’t reply.
⸢”That’s because I like your story.”⸥
The one who had been watching my Fable for a very long ti, and rescued many, many tis in the past.
⸢”Several Constellations including believe that you’re the one capable of reaching ■■.”⸥
I was about to look back, but Dionysus spoke to first.
[It’s been fun, oh the great, noble star.]
I heard the sound of a world closing behind .
My feet didn’t want to move. I stood there for a long ti without saying anything, and eventually, soone addressed .
“It’s not over yet.”
We began walking towards the darkness of the ark.
Our destination was right before us.
Fin.
