Episode 220
My body shakes violently, as if I’m having a seizure.
“… … This b*tch… … .”
It wasn’t my own words. It was the voice of another star that took over our older sister’s body.
I am more cool than ever.
I can say that because I haven’t missed a single change that’s happening in my sister’s body.
My older sister is resisting now.
It makes me laugh.
It’s not that I didn’t believe it.
She’s not someone that a ‘bitch like this’ can push away.
Our older sister is greater than any of the ‘Jinsongis’.
Because she’s my older sister.
I was just going to keep quiet, but I think I should say something.
“And my older sister doesn’t talk as shamelessly as you do.”
“… … These guys, in pairs… … .”
Look at this.
What is this, my sister?
My older sister may not be as kind of a person as you might think, but she’s not that kind.
What a bastard.
As if he was bored, he said one more thing.
“Sister, not yet?”
The response was immediate.
My sister’s body convulses violently once more.
Slowly, my sister’s eyes began to change.
Not the eyes that were poisonous, but the eyes of the older sister I knew.
“Haa… … Haa… … .”
I looked at my sister for a moment, who was breathing heavily.
A confirmation procedure was needed. My older sister said to me as I stared blankly.
“… …Can you let me go? I’ve only learned bad things from Titan.”
I laugh. My sister was right.
He put down the hand that was holding his neck.
At the same time, my sister collapsed in her seat, her arms still on the floor, panting for breath.
Just as my older sister had regained her original body, it was clear that other Jinsongs were running wild inside her.
hmm.
“Can I give you some advice?”
“… … Try it.”
“Go into the ‘Abyss’ and catch them all.”
“… … Then what happens?”
“Um… … I don’t know about that, but after all, that body is yours right now. As far as I know, the soul and body are attracted to each other, right? In the end, if you don’t waver, it’s a fight you can’t lose.”
He reached out and placed his hand on his sister’s head, injecting her with energy again.
It is not an energy that is meant to cause pain, but an energy that is meant to force recovery.
My older sister, who had found some stability, immediately sat cross-legged in her seat.
“Go and come back.”
“……huh.”
My sister closes her eyes.
Looking at my older sister like that, I took a couple of steps back.
And then he slumped down on his seat.
I took a bite of a cigarette.
I was lighting a fire and taking a puff or two.
Tickle.
I can’t stand it any longer.
“How long are you going to keep peeping?”
Damn it.
Space opens up.
A man appeared there.
A huge sword, black shorts, a black short-sleeved T-shirt, and black slippers.
It was [Editor] I had seen before. The clothes he was wearing were the same, but the mask was different.
This time it’s a rainbow colored mask.
Did you run out of money buying that mask?
He said with a smile.
“Did you feel offended? Then I apologize.”
He waved his hand roughly as a gesture to say it was okay.
He looks at his sister sitting cross-legged, then looks at me again.
It seems like you have a lot to say.
“Yes. If you have something to say.”
“… … I don’t know where to start.”
“Help me?”
The editor nods.

“Constellations, I’m going to go and kill you all. What do you think?”
“… … Do I really have to kill you?”
He nodded.
“Can’t we just target the leaders?”
“It’s not enough.”
The editor was momentarily taken aback by my answer, which came out straight away as if there was no need to think about it.
He sat down next to me without saying a word. Then he took a cigarette out of his pocket.
As I was staring blankly, he handed me a cigarette.
“Would you like to try it?”
“Where is it?”
“It’s not sold commercially. I made it myself.”
“You have that kind of talent too.”
“Let’s call it a hobby. I added some leaves from the World Tree, but I don’t have a name yet.”
He didn’t refuse. He took one out and put it in his mouth, and the editor lit it for him. The editor also took one out and put it in his mouth.
I just snapped my fingers.
A small spark appeared in front of the editor, and the editor lit it.
We sat side by side like that and smoked cigarettes.
My gaze and that of the editor were fixed on our older sister, who was sitting cross-legged.
Breaking the silence, the editor spoke.
“I saw it once a thousand years ago, but I never thought I would see it again.”
“okay?”
“You’ve probably heard the name often. Heavenly Lord.”
I heard it so many times that my ears started ringing.
To me, the word ‘heavenly being’ is at that level.
“The moment the Heavenly Lord awakened, he went through such a process.”
It seemed like he was talking to himself, but he was clearly talking to me.
“The Heavenly Lord has grown into a ‘suitable person’ who can end the life of the Chamsaek. If I had stopped him, things would have probably been different.”
It’s strange.
“Did the fittest person say that the system would end?”
“I don’t know where I heard that, but it’s similar. The one who can decide the end of the story of the stars is the one who is suitable.”
The editor looks at his older sister blankly.
“Jinsongi is the perfect person.”
He turns his head.
“First, let me apologize.”
“suddenly?”
“I briefly introduced myself before, but I am [the first editor], and my real name is [Yuha].”
He tilted his head.
“That’s unusual. Is the name ‘Yuha’ that common?”
“That’s a rare name.”
“But why is there so much duplication?”
The first editor, who introduced himself as Yuhara, shrugged his shoulders, clearly expressing his unwillingness to tell.
“Back to the main topic, I represent the editors and the reviewers. So I apologize to you on their behalf.”
“So, why are you apologizing all of a sudden?”
“Because I have a stake in Jeongbin’s death.”
I kept my mouth shut for a moment.
“Your person’s death definitely had something to do with the ascenders, and the story of the stars also had something to do with it. So you should apologize.”
“You came now?”
“It’s true that I tried to provide the greatest convenience, even though I didn’t say it out loud. I tolerated interference from other stars beyond the stars, and even gave the editors special weapons. If that’s not convenience, then what is?”
“That’s true.”
“And now, as an editor and a representative of the will to edit, I have no intention of stopping the ‘awakening’ of your sister, Jin Song-i.”
He scratched his chin.
“As I said before, we suffered a near-destructive blow because we did not stop the Heavenly Lord from awakening as a suitable person. This means that we will not stop him even though there is a precedent.”
Yuha silently looked into my eyes.
He continues.
“So, shouldn’t you also make some concessions?”
I ended up laughing.
“Is that how it is? Do you think I’ll stay still if you interrupt me?”
“What’s the point of talking too long? You’re strong. You killed the Hancheon Ascendant, the most difficult opponent among the Ascendants. However, I’m not Platy.”
Yuha’s eyes become serious as he rubs the cigarette butt on the ground and puts it out.
“How far can you see a fragment of me?”
I looked at him silently.
I’ve felt it before, but it’s true that it’s strong.
To be honest, it’s almost identical to Platy.
This was possible because Yuha in front of me was revealing her energy without any filter. If it weren’t for that, I would have had to mix my hands myself to figure it out.
“I’m not sure I can beat you, but I’m sure I won’t give up easily. Also, if you and I were to fight right now, would your sister over there be able to handle the aftermath?”
“Um… … Is this a threat?”
“To be clear, it’s not a threat. It’s just a matter of finding a reasonable option within a mutually acceptable compromise.”
After that, Yuha started acting very strangely.
He raised his right arm and struck his right hand with the palm of his left hand.
Crunch.
With that sound, Yuha’s right arm fell to the side. Blood spurted out. Yuha didn’t even groan once.
“Again, this is not a threat. Do I look like I want to fight you?”
“Looking at you cutting off your own arm, I don’t think that’s right.”
“I want to maintain a good relationship with you. Even though you killed ‘Julius’, that stance doesn’t change.”
“Who is Julius?”
“… … [the twelfth editor].”
“Oh, that’s Julius.”
There was silence for a moment.
This time, it was Yoo Ha who broke the silence.
“Up to two nebulae. How about ending it around that?”
I thought about it for a moment.
Thinking about cooking, thinking about that too.
“It’s not enough.”
“… … You’re a tired guy.”
“I hear that a lot.”
“If we end it here with the three constellations, the constellations that bought Jin Songi, and their relatives.”
I was really curious.
“What if it ends?”
“… … In the future, I will provide you with personal assistance when you need it.”
“Is that a good thing?”
“I know it’s hard to say, but it’s probably more than you can imagine.”
“okay?”
“Yes.”
“For example?”
“Umm… … .”
“You need to know what you’re getting before you negotiate.”
Yuha touched his chin for a moment and then continued speaking.
“For example, I can help you with things like correcting the irrational parts of the Abyss of Star #2403, opening the gate when you head to the Nine Heavens if you don’t have the Nine Heavens’ Moving Stone, or anything related to your personal affairs or the story of the star. Of course, there are things that are impossible.”
“What is that?”
“It is absolutely impossible to stop the story of the stars in the middle, or to free star #2403.”
Look at this.
It’s not bad. It means that he does most things. He’s even a manager.
however.
“Are the constellations that important?”
“It’s important. You and Jinsong over there have a high chance of preventing the destruction of the ‘Earth-type star,’ but we can’t just look at that.”
“Is that so?”
“As an [editor] who advances the story of the stars, it is absolutely necessary for other constellations to raise their incarnations. In the process, unexpected variables will appear, and those variables may awaken to be very important beings.”
Very proactive.
“Well, three nebulae, constellations related to the sisters of other stars, and relatives, is this the final version?”
“My personal assistance and the fact that I will awaken as a suitable person without causing any harm to Jinsong, that is the best I can do. I guess I will repeat what I said in the Abyss before.”
“What did you say then?”
“It’s overflowing. Here’s my proposal now.”
I looked at Yuha silently.
“I am being too generous with your convenience. This is also an apology for the harm I caused you in the Jeongbin incident. Also, in my view, you are a very reasonable person.”
hmm…….
“Is that so?”
“Yes. I hope you don’t refuse this offer.”
This is how intellectuals originally talked.
Talking about what each person wants and finding a middle ground.
Should I say it’s a win-win?
I have no intention of fighting Yuha right now.
I’m confident that I won’t lose if we fight, but it’ll be hard to protect my sister. Yuha is that strong.
If such a strong person comes out in such a humble manner.
I have no choice but to listen.
I raised my index finger.
