The nebula Eden. This nebula was composed of the angels of the
apocalypse, was the scourge of the demons and the eternal enemies
of the Demon World. The guardians of the Celestial World, the angels
who didn't fear any evil in this world.

Jophiel's mental training had already been going on for an hour.
Gabriel secretly yawned and looked around at his colleagues with
languid eyes, only to notice something strange.
Raphael, who was nodding off on the cloud, replied while fixing his
curly hair.
-Detained?
...What did she do? Raphael borrowed the power of the wind to
speak like it was annoying. Gabriel's
eyes widened.
-For the time being, the broadcast bulletin board will be clean.
Metatron pushed up his thin frame glasses and spoke, [Thank you

Jophiel nodded. Metatron looked around at the archangels and

For the constellations who had to endure the boring years, the

In the days after the party, the party members enjoyed a sudden
luxury.
Kim Dokja bought clothes or items for the party members every
day from the Dokkaebi Bad, as if compensation for his absence in the
meantime. The kids were particularly excited.

"Hey, look at this Shin Yoosung!"
Shin Yoosung and Lee Gilyoung laughed and ran through the
streets while covered with accessories bought by Kim Dokja. Jung
Heewon saw the scene and laughed. "The kids look like a
Christmas tree."
The two children were sitting on Lee Hyunsung's big shoulders. The
same was true for Lee Hyunsung. He was excited about the new
shield he received from Kim Dokja.
"...Three fools."
She muttered as she looked around and saw Lee Jihye approaching
while wearing a triangular gimbap-like helmet on her head. If the
other three were like a Christmas tree, she was a three-tier cake.
In fact, Kim Dokja had visited Jung Heewon several times. However,
he didn't give her any items and only taught her a few training
methods as well as telling her about hidden pieces. She told him that
they were things she could do without him and Kim Dokja's
expression was still vivid in her mind.
She was going to give Lee Jihye some honey when someone poked
her shoulder. She looked back and saw the tired Kim Dokja.

"Ah, Dokja-ssi..."
Kim Dokja had dark circles on his face as he held out something
towards Jung Heewon.
"This..."
Kim Dokja silently shook his head. Jung Heewon saw his unknown
facial expression and recalled a memory from a long time ago.
During the days at Chungmuro, she received an outfit from Kim
Dokja. At the time, it was a rag...
"What?"
She looked closer and saw a pattern on the suit that was similar to

any case, it was good.
Jung Heewon looked at the suit and felt like an office worker who
received a salary advance. She was discussing with Lee Jihye how to
wear the coat more stylishly when someone appeared and passed
her like a ghost.
Yoo Sangah, who was staring blankly into space, reacted with
surprise. Her pupils were empty. Jung Heewon realized that
something was strange and tried to speak but Lee Jihye was one step
faster.
Jung Heewon poked Lee Jihye's ribs and she let out a light shriek.
Yoo Sangah smiled helplessly. "I just have many thoughts these
days... Heewon-ssi, that is a wonderful outfit."

"Is that so? Thank you." Jung Heewon scratched his head. There

Without knowing why, Jung Heewon felt overwhelmed. In any case,
the party was all gathered now. They would soon return to Earth and
go through the hellish scenarios again. Even so, Jung Heewon was
afraid. Jung Heewon watched the sunset from the clock tower and
recalled the words she heard in the Theatre Dungeon.
At the time, the Kim Dokja who said these words seemed very
lonely. She didn't know what he meant at the time but now she felt
like she knew a bit. Now one thing was clear.
It was a few days after the part ended. The constellations present
in the industrial complex started to leave one by one. I went to see
the constellations off and found two flowers in the chest pocket of my

"I don't know where the story will take me. However... I'm

[Be careful.]
There was a light engine sound and the Mass Production Maker's
car slipped into the portal. The other constellations also disappeared
into the portal. The portal closed and ominous sparks filled the empty
sky.
I watched the sparks and touched the petals in my pocket. Now the
remaining time was three days. Soon, the most important story of

The distant presence had crossed the Star Stream and was
covering the sky of the 73rd Demon Realm.
Not all beings lived in the scenario. If the constellations were living
in a 'story', the outer gods were based on a confused 'story.' They
were beings born from the subconscious of the story. A monster
roaming the deep sea of the scenario that wasn't possible for the
dokkaebis.
Bihyung looked at 'it' that was opening its massive mouth and
prayed with a gloomy heart.

"What is this?"
It was only a few minutes after Jung Heewon had noticed 'it.'
Suddenly, the hairs on her body rose and sweat flowed down. She
looked around and saw the citizens who lost consciousness or were
vomiting up blood on the ground. Lee Jihye stood beside her and was
squeezing her shoulders with dim eyes.
Her nails dug into her shoulders and blood was flowing.
Jung Heewon looked around the square. Yoo Sangah was already
moving. "Everyone, gather this way!"
Her voice was filled with magic power and the party members
came to their senses one by one.

"W-What is that?"
Lee Hyunsung and the children looked up at the sky. Lee Gilyoung
staggered while Shin Yoosung grabbed onto Lee Hyunsung and
trembled.
At this moment, all the party members in the square were thinking
the same thing. It didn't matter how many books they read or how
many words they knew.
Yoo Sangah, Lee Hyunsung and Jung Heewon were the same. All
human words were helpless in front of the coming existence. The
entire sky was covered by the darkness of this being.
How the hell could they stop it? Was it possible to stop it?
Then a man appeared in the sky where the light had disappeared.
He exhausted his probability as he shone brightly.
Jung Heewon discovered his appearance and was filled with relief.
Most of the constellations who attended the banquet left the Demon
World two days ago. However, it wasn't everyone.

know what was coming but there was Cheok Jungyeong on this side.
Cheok Jungyeong also had experience fighting against an outer god.
[Outer god! Why did you come here? This isn't your
scenario!]
Despite the repeated calls, there was no response from the sky.
Just like an elephant didn't see an ant, 'it' didn't even look at Cheok
Jungyeong. Cheok Jungyeong's expression hardened. If the elephant
didn't see an ant then he would make it look.

[Ohhhhhh!]
Goryeo's First Sword was fighting the outer god. The next moment,
they heard a strange noise in the sky. It was the sound of a star that
had finished its life cycle in a distant galaxy. Then something fell
from the sky.
"A-Ahh, ah..."
Someone with good vision discovered it first. The cut off arms and
legs. Only half of the incarnation body was left and the areas cut off
were falling to the ground. Surprise and disbelief. Even those who
couldn't see Cheok Jungyeong's expression knew what he was
feeling.
A sword that cut a mountain, a sea and even the sun. There was
something that this swordsmanship couldn't cut. It was 'unbreakable'
from the beginning. It was the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint who
caught Cheok Jungyeong's ruined body.

The screams of the citizens were heard as fear encroached on their
mind. The darkness filled the horizon in all directions. The ground
wriggled and moved like a fetus. It was the sound of a giant worm
eating its prey. It seemed that the horizon was getting closer. The
intensity of the light shining on the ground gradually decreased.
The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint and Kyrgios had already seen
this scene in the First Murim.
The world let out a scream. The darkness filled with greet was
approaching and eating the 73rd Demon World. Kyrgios concentrated
all the magic power of the White Pure Star Energy.
The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint cried out and two transcendent

Destruction skill.
It was the sword technique that Yoo Jonghyuk had used in the past.
It was the Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship that defeated countless
constellations. The first Breaking the Sky Sword shot towards the sky.
The explosive magic power was radiant in the air and the meteor
sword drew colourful shapes.
"Kyrgios!"
Kyrgios received the signal and stepped on the Breaking the Sky
Sword Saint's shoulder before jumping. Kyrgios accelerated with the
power of Electrification, penetrating through the atmosphere and
flying into the expanse.
It was a place where stars stayed. It was a place that could never
be reached with short human arms. Kyrgios also knew it. Thus, he
tried. He tried and tried again.

He reached the universe. Kyrgios finally reached a position where
he could see 'it.' It was reminiscent of a huge fog. The fog without a
definite shape was greedily devouring the 73rd Demon Realm. The
centre of the fog contained a thread left behind by Cheok Jungyeong.
Kyrgios' right hand moved along with his fierce cry. Like a big
bang, the blue-white energy struck the centre of the fog. There was a
white flash and all citizens closed their eyes.
'It is up to here.'
Beyond the falling Kyrgios, the sky was splitting. Something in the
darkness was awakening. It was a pupil. A huge eye had come to the
world. The white lens and black pupils followed the falling Kyrgios.
The Breaking the Sky Sword Sword Saint moved and Kyrgios turned
around. The transcendent power collided with an irresistible
atmosphere.
Kyrgios' long hair turned white. The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint's
muscles swelled up until they seemed like they were going to burst.
As if suffering from aging, the two transcendent bodies were dying in

"Kieeeeeek!"
The citizens wept like wild beasts without knowing what they were
saying.
"W-W-W-What?"
"Wwwwwwhat...."
The bodies of the citizens burst all over. Some of them turned into
bizarre beings and others had tentacles emerge from their mouths.
It was Jung Heewon. Jung Heewon gasped but didn't kneel down as

[The giant story 'Demon World's Spring' is protecting the

It was because this world was refusing to perish. They were the

The party members also knew it. Any power they had was shabby

Judgment and coughed up blood as she shouted.
"Uriel! Please!"
There was no reaction from the Demon-like Judge of Fire. It was the

"That's not really important, is it?"
The final part of the novel, its epilogue, was all about the 'thing

Quite obviously, there was simply no way that all of them could
perfectly imagine a story that hadn't happened yet.
"What should we do? You said that the last episode is the

Inside the screen, they could now see an object flying in through

Drones broke past the winds and waves to fly there, and continued to

Soon, the exterior of the flying object was revealed among the
pulsating grey foams. It was a capsule-shaped ark, and someone was
