# The main characters only I know episode 342
A world where everything is covered with antiques.
A huge snake with three heads descended from the sky on top of a bizarre castle where various worn-out objects were piled up like a pile of garbage.
[Mephistopheles!]
At Satan’s angry words, Mephistopheles, who was sitting on the throne of the antique castle, raised his head and grinned.
“Welcome to my world, friend. “It has a lot of horns.”
[He did something very interesting recently.]
Satan did not hide his hostility toward Mephistopheles. No matter how much he was a monarch belonging to the same Daesunggun, what Mephisto did crossed the line.
[I warned you. Don’t worry about what I’m doing and don’t touch me. But are you planning something like that without me knowing?]
“hmm. “My memory has been bad these days, so I have no idea what I heard.”
[If you’re still in the mood for pranks, I can make you remember.]
A horrifying chill flowed from Satan’s body and covered the antique castle.
Frost fell on several antiques in an instant, and some turned into ice and shattered. Mephisto sighed and lightly hit the ground with the staff in his hand.
The star energy emanating from Mephisto pushed away Satan’s cold energy. The three heads of Satan narrowed their eyes at the sight and opened their mouths. The moment when huge cold air gathers from three mouths.
[stop.]
Mephisto eventually revealed his true identity. He shed his incarnation of a medieval nobleman and took on the appearance of a huge black beast.
[Will you please stop destroying my nest anymore? How long did it take to make this? It will take another year to recover again.]
[Mephisto!]
[I’m not deaf, so you don’t have to call my name. Rather, is it okay for you to stay as you are?]
[What does that mean all of a sudden?]
The black beast curled the corners of its eyes and smiled.
[The teller Kang Yu-hyeon you’re looking at encountered a bookworm.]
[…] … what?]
[It’s not a lie, it’s true. I was looking at his poetry and paintings right before you came. And something very interesting is happening on Earth right now. Would you like to take a look?]
Mephisto said so and showed Satan the current situation in Gangneung.
When Satan saw the scene, his three pairs of eyes widened and he glared at Mephisto as if he were going to kill him.
[Did you do this?]
[ha ha ha! You say something interesting. I? Hey Satan. No matter how much you hate me, isn’t it too much to blame me for an innocent crime?]
[Then how can we explain what is happening now?]
[I told you. A bookworm has appeared. And if you know it too, why are you doing this? Isn’t it all because of debris?]
[…] … .]
[Satan. No, Lucifer. Did you think I didn’t know? Unlike other ‘created’ guys, I also have the same ‘origin’ as you. Until now, I have lived according to the flow of this world, but deep in my mind, beyond my memories, the knowledge from that time still remains.]
[…] … Did you interfere with me and touch me even though you knew that?]
[Hindrance? Let’s speak clearly. Rather, I helped you.]
[what?]
Satan did not understand what Mephistopheles was saying.
How shameless is it to say that he spread the rumor that he gave Yoohyeon the Laplace fragment and helped him with a topic that caused him trouble?
[lets think. You handed over the fragment to Teller Kang Yu-hyeon because you thought he was the liberator who would break this bondage, right? Of all the fragments, Laplace is known to be the best.]
[…] … .]
[You don’t deny it. If it were you, you would have covered it up somehow, but the fact that you’re coming out like this means you’re really thinking about it seriously.]
Mephisto smiled as if it didn’t matter what happened.
[After Laplace, we got Maxwell, Descartes, and Darwin. And it even awakened a new devil called Aporia, who brought together the four amorphous devils. okay. As you said, this guy definitely has the potential to be a liberator.]
[Then don’t disturb me.]
[No. This alone isn’t enough. You know that?]
[Now that I can handle fragments like that, what more qualifications do I need?]
[Clearly, Teller Kang Yu-hyeon collected a lot of fragments and made them his own. And this time, we recovered a large amount of fragments again. But it’s still not enough. No, rather, the problem is that it was collected too quickly.]
[…] … Fast?]
[The gathering of all the fragments and the completion of the codex must be postponed until later. If things continue this way, the codex will be completed in less than a month. 1 month is too short. It’s not enough to make the proper preparations.]
[Mephisto, you… … .]
[We need to buy time. The codex shouldn’t be completed yet. If you really want to be free from this damn bondage, listen to me.]
[There is no one as capable as him!]
[The problem is that he is too talented. I know what you want, but to achieve that, everything is important in moderation.]
Satan left the antique-covered planet as if he no longer wanted to listen to Mephisto.
[Lucifer. Where are you going?]
[To do what I have to do.]
[Going against the will of the system? Even you will die.]
Satan answered without looking at Mephisto.
[If you need.]
[Would she be sad?]
At the word ‘her’, Satan’s movement to advance beyond the universe stopped for a moment.
At that sight, Mephisto returned to his incarnate form and smiled bitterly.
“hey. You have tremendous power now. But there’s no need to take this risk, right? If you just faithfully fulfill your assigned role, you can live more peacefully than anyone else. To her, to you, to her… … .”
[stop.]
There was a chill in Satan’s voice, as if he was trying to say that the anger up until now was only the beginning.
Mephisto also knew that Satan was now filled with anger and kept his mouth shut.
[If you say any more than that, I won’t leave you alone.]
“… … “Of course.”
Mephisto raised both his hands and took a stance of surrender.

Eventually, Satan’s gigantic body disappeared into the distant universe. Mephisto sat on his antique throne and leaned back against his back.
“Nothing will change anyway. friend.”
* * *
A strange act unfolds in Gangneung. It was wriggling and growing in size in real time.
‘What the hell is this…? … .’
Yoo Hyeon contacted Kang Hye-rim and Seo Su-min again, but Yeom-hwa still could not be reached.
That means the two people also went inside.
The problem was what this strange dome-shaped membrane was, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t find anything that caught it.
[Master.]
At that moment, black letters gathered on the ground and Laplace suddenly appeared.
He immediately lowered his head in front of Yuhyeon and trembled in apology.
[sorry. I couldn’t protect the young lady. Please punish me.]
“Laplace. Now is not the time. “What on earth happened here?”
[As per my lord’s orders, I went into battle to protect the young lady.]
Laplace told Yuhyeon everything he had experienced.
Ji-ah Kwon fought against as many as three returnees. However, contrary to expectations that she would be pushed back, she defeated the returnees without difficulty. So much so that Laplace didn’t even need to help.
The next thing to move were Unleashed executives.
At that time, Laplace also came forward and helped her. Kwon Ji-ah was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Laplace, but she was convinced when she heard that Yoohyeon had sent her to help.
[It was holding up well at first. Even though there were some of them that I didn’t like, the young lady was able to take her time dealing with them.]
“Was there an owner of the fragment? “And yet it happens like this.”
[It was then that the man came forward. Jin Cheong-un. This is the man your lord warned you about. He had so many fragments that I couldn’t even see them with my own eyes. And the power he showed was such that even Lady Kwon Ji-ah had a hard time resisting it.]
If Kwon Ji-ah had been at her best, she would not have lost, but she used up too much strength while blocking the joint attack of Unleashed executives along with three returnees.
Jin Qingyun aimed for that from the beginning. By deliberately removing Kwon Ji-ah’s power from her, he took it upon himself to completely subdue her.
Yoohyeon asked Laplace, suppressing his rising anger.
“What on earth did Qin Qingyun do?”
[Fragments.]
Laplace shuddered and said that he could not forget that scene.
[The fragment was forcibly handed over to the young lady.]
“what?”
[And, at the same time, I used black seeds. The moment it touched the young lady’s body, this gigantic membrane that you see now unfolding before your eyes was created. It was very small at first, but it quickly grew in size, covering the surrounding mountain ranges and even the entire city.]
“What happened to Jin Qingyun?”
[It’s also inside there. First of all, I retreated as quickly as possible to inform my lord of this, but even though he saw me, he did not try to catch me. Rather, as if he wanted me to inform my lord of this fact.]
“Have you seen Hye-rim and Sumin?”
[yes. The two girls also went inside. Descartes and Darwin were together.]
This is the end of Laplace’s story.
In the end, this bizarre shape that was unfolding before my eyes was the result of Jin Cheong-un aiming for something.
Even Yoohyeon didn’t know what was inside there. However, considering that it was created through the response of fragments and story seeds to Kwon Ji-ah.
There will be a different world unfolding for him that he cannot even imagine.
‘I have to go in.’
It was clear that there were people inside.
Moreover, ordinary citizens who were unable to evacuate would also be trapped inside. We had to stop this dome from expanding before anything happened.
“Youngmin.”
[Ah, your brother! where are you now?]
“It’s towards Gangneung. “Have you finished organizing?”
[yes. It ended a little while ago and I am now going up.]
“Come to Gangneung right away. “The situation is serious now.”
[…] … How is it?]
“Jia fell into a trap, and something strange happened nearby. It is a huge dome-shaped membrane, but the inside cannot be seen from the outside. It’s even more bizarre than the way the world of thought has run riot and eroded the world. Hyerim and Sumin seem to have gone inside, and communication is not working. “I’m planning on starting soon.”
[all right. I will go right away too.]
“be careful.”
After that contact, Yoohyeon tried to contact Celine but stopped.
‘right. He no longer manages my study.’
After Yoohyeon returned, Celine handed over all of Yoohyeon’s study she had. Did she say that just holding it still was too much of a burden for her? Yuhyeon, thinking about how much cajoling and threats she must have received, understood her actions.
Celine headed to headquarters, saying she would return to Earth as quickly as possible.
In a situation like this, it was a long way to get help from her.
‘I can’t help it.’
Yoohyeon stretched out her hand toward the strange membrane.
Contrary to the thought that he would not be able to enter, the curtain allowed Yuhyeon’s hand very easily.
They welcomed Yuhyeon as if they knew he would come from the beginning.
Yoohyeon gathered her courage and entered the huge dome.
* * *
“… … This.”
After feeling the sensation of entering something thin, like when entering the world of thought.
Yuhyeon felt a chill in her stomach at the sight she saw when she opened her eyes.
What unfolded before my eyes was a twisted world. It is like a rag, with fragments of more than a dozen worlds existing in their own form without being able to mix with each other.
Among them, there were some sights that were familiar to Yuhyeon.
‘That’s the obelisk from the 9th trial of the apocalypse.’
That wasn’t the only thing.
A swarm of bugs was the 13th ordeal.
The Cross of Destruction was the 17th ordeal.
The main catacombs were the 22nd ordeal.
The trials of the apocalypse, clearly engraved in Yuhyeon’s memory, were occupying the inner world in some form.
‘No, it’s not just a trial of the end. Some of the landscapes of this world also include those of the world of thought. A collapsed palace, Western-style buildings, and even a stinking swamp. It’s a mixture of everything.’
Even the Holy Spirits were perplexed as if it was their first time seeing such a sight.
Yuhyeon analyzed where this place was with a calm gaze.
Laplace said that Qin Qingyun used seeds along with fragments. If we added something more as fragments, it would mean that this world is a world where all the memories of over 600 episodes that Kwon Ji-ah has experienced so far are mixed together.
It uses the seeds of a story, but it is not a world of ideas.
Rather, it is much more heterogeneous than that, and is closer to a different world that is not clearly defined even by the Genesis system.
‘okay. If I had to give it a name, I would call it the Returner’s Nightmare.’
This was a nightmare world where Kwon Ji-ah’s memories from all episodes were realized in a distorted form.
