What Happens When The Second Male Lead Powers Up [EN]: Chapter 801

This person during the day, that person at night. Someone through a smartphone, someone through a tablet, and someone through a PC screen······.

Yes, ‘God who descended through a machine device.’ [Deus Ex Machina is a Latin term referring to a plot device where a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by the unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability, or object.]

Deus Ex Machina.

“But the Main God who created this land······. She has never personally descended on the continent. Her presence can only be felt through the aether [a classical element believed to fill the upper regions of the sky, beyond the terrestrial sphere] throughout the continent.”

‘She.’ That’s why the Main God was specified as female.

There were statistics that more than ninety percent of TGW’s readers were female.

【Oh, I’ve read that in TGW too. I just glossed over it then.】

“It was about you.”

【······That’s right. I only watch; I can’t directly intervene. It would be a real disaster if I descended······.】

Jeong Eunseo muttered and looked down at the Sacred Disk.

Soon, the little one’s head tilted to the side, and the light purple nebula flowed diagonally along with her.

【······But why is it empty? There used to be water sloshing around inside. That’s the official setting. Or did it change a bit?】

The little one still didn’t properly remember the contents of the last ‘dream’.

It wasn’t me who gave the answer here.

「The Great Main God personally poured it out and used it.」

······What?

【Huh?】

“······What did you just say?”

「I said that the God personally poured it out and used it.」

Božena. It was an explanation from one of the three sisters who uphold causality.

I looked at them with an unbelievable expression.

But when I think about it, there was no reason for them to tell us a lie now.

I can’t trust them right away, so I’m suspicious for now······.

“Wait a minute.”

No, it makes sense? I quickly lifted the scepter and gestured for them to wait.

Jeong Eunseo pulled on the strings of her chick-colored hoodie, making a serious expression along with me.

Memories as vivid as yesterday quickly flashed before my eyes.

‘It’s not certain. My husband and I kept asking around about that sacred object, and we heard a story through the news line of the Divine Nation······.’

Spring Ball. Isabel’s face as she slipped out of the Stroda Palace to give me information.

‘The high priests of the Divine Nation interpret that the sacred object of the temple has not ‘disappeared’ but has ‘fulfilled its purpose’.’

‘Fulfilling its purpose······.’

‘They believe that someone has already made a wish there, and the sacred object has been permanently damaged as that wish came true.’

“······Of course.”

The Main God made a wish herself.

Not just Jeong Eunseo, but Jeong Eunseo with divinity.

It couldn’t be clearer than this.

【Did I do something wrong again?】

“You, on the night Prince Yeser died on the battlefield.”

【Could you give me a warning before saying something like that? It gives me PTSD, you know?】

“Did you make a wish while sleeping that day? Did you wish for the prince to be saved?”

【A wish? Don’t make me laugh······. I wished in such a pathetic way that it can’t even be expressed with a pretty word like a wish. I really couldn’t sleep a wink until after three in the morning.】

“Okay, confirmed.”

The Sacred Disk is a sacred object that only the Pope can handle, but the resurrection of the prince was something that the Main God wanted.

Since countless readers besides Eunseo would have wished together, that divine power would have been even more powerful.

As I remember, there was definitely one more condition······.

“That’s right. ‘It will be fulfilled if you wish with blood.'”

【······Do you have to see blood to be sincere? That’s tough. Our prince would prefer healthy readers, you know?】

No.

“There was no need to see blood. You are already of ‘noble blood’.”

I deliberately emphasized the word and checked Božena’s face.

Then the three sisters simultaneously gave a terrible smile.

This was also an expression they had used for me someday.

Jeong Eunseo was the daughter of the original author’s mother and the younger sister of Jeong Hyunseo, the ghostwriter.

Since there was divinity connected by blood with the two creators of TGW, there was no need to fulfill the conditions in a classical way.

【Bloodline, she says.】

“I know, right? But those people really like that kind of thing.”

「······.」

There was no regret on the faces of the three old women listening to the sarcasm.

When I think about it, they were always like that.

They never got angry, never rejoiced, never showed suffering or joy.

They just always watched the process of people suffering from beginning to end with the same expressionless face, as if they were stamped out of a mold.

「Causality has no emotions.」

“······.”

The old woman with the scythe spoke as if she had seen through me.

I held the sleeping Tite tightly and glared at her.

「The precious one has always resented us.」

Ha······.

“Is that even something to say? Think about what you’ve done to us all this time. How could I not resent you?”

「But we had no personal feelings.」

“That’s even more chilling, that’s even more frustrating! I would have tried to persuade you if you had bad feelings······.”

「A world that does not have the minimum causality cannot withstand its own absurdity and will only collapse. We are trying to prevent such an ending······.」

“If you’re going to keep talking about that causality nonsense, just shut up. Please.”

I didn’t intend to keep spewing out harsh words, but the filtering in my head was completely broken.

In my eyes, they just looked like killing machines.

I was still covered in Eliser’s blood, and I had a sleeping baby in my arms.

And now, behind me was my one and only sibling.

Jeong Eunseo, whom I personally took to daycare and put on the taekwondo academy bus, who will forever be a snot-nosed kid.

「In the Divine World Line, the power of the spinning god was absent.」

“······.”

Perhaps accepting the opinion that she should shut up rather than talk about causality, another old woman continued quietly.

Before I knew it, the sisters were encircling half of the Sacred Disk, watching me.

It was a strangely oppressive formation.

Since they even interrupted what I was about to ask Eunseo a little while ago, they must have something to say to me······.

「It was a fragile and precarious world line where everything could collapse with the slightest mistake.」

「A world line that has not received the ‘first gaze’ is destined to be forever incomplete.」

“I don’t intend to play twenty questions even here. Talk so I can understand.”

【I understand. I understood this.】

Snap! Jeong Eunseo snapped her fingers. I almost burst my eardrums!

“Ugh······.”

【Sorry, really sorry. Are you okay? I won’t do it anymore. Ah, there are side effects like this, huh.】

“······It’s okay. Tell me what those people are saying.”

【No, the gaze is the reader’s gaze, right? Because Oppa said that earlier. People here live their whole lives hoping for that, right?】

“Yeah.”

【Then the ‘first gaze’ is naturally? It means the eye that sees the novel for the first time. Literally translated.】

“Yeah.”

【······Ah, you mean the original author, the original author. The writer is originally the first reader of the novel, right? Wouldn’t the writer also be part of the Main God?】

“······.”

What, that’s quite plausible? I opened my eyes wide and looked up at my younger sibling.

Then Jeong Eunseo made a smug expression for the first time in a while.

【As expected. Genius, right?】

“Wait, then······.”

‘There is no power of the spinning god.’ If you interpret this sentence······. It is a world line where the original author cannot spin a new thread.

‘It has not received the first gaze.’ It is a world line where the writer’s review cannot be done.

That’s right, it’s all reasonable.

This is a world created by the Main God’s earnest wish to save Prince Yeser······. Jeong Hyunseo didn’t know of its existence until she discovered it herself, and maybe Mom didn’t know either.

Of course, it’s true that the two people’s imaginations were added. In fact, there were quite a few abandoned settings and secrets that the readers could never know······.

The writer who is part of the Main God. But a world where the writer cannot intervene.

Jeong Eunseo’s hypothesis is perfectly correct.

“So you guys really······. You did that kind of thing to protect a world without an original author?”

I asked with a grimace.

“Because no one writes or reviews new sentences here, it’s so unstable that you acted as the writer yourself?”

Then the three sisters sequentially spat out sentences like artificial intelligence.

「As we have often said, we are beings who protect the framework of the world.」

「Moreover, the Main God is a fickle being. This is a unique divine trait and something we cannot dare to change.」

「Tens of thousands of dreams are drawn out in one minute, and hundreds of thousands of dream skeins are born in one hour. Someone has to filter them out.」

「Someone has to wind the thread.」

「Someone has to cut the thread.」

Exactly the same three voices answered me.

I felt a slight dizziness and took a half step back.

“······Okay. Let’s say that’s true. Let’s say that’s your reason for existence.”

The Main God’s fickleness. That is also a reasonable quality when I think about it now.

Since the Main God is not one person, what they wish for and dream of must all be different.

Even among the people who equally wished for Prince Yeser to be saved, opinions would have been diverse.

Perhaps ‘too’ diverse.

If there was a writer here, they would have appropriately reflected and rejected those people’s wishes······.

“······No, but my question doesn’t change. I’m still someone who opposes your tyranny.”

「······.」

I leaned on the scepter like a cane.

I didn’t want Eunseo to know that my physical condition wasn’t good.

“I asked you last time. Let’s ask again today. Why is causality necessary?”

「A world without causality inevitably collapses and······.」

“Yeah, that’s right. There’s no writer or whatever, I understand up to that point!”

「······.」

“Causality is only in novels. But this is based on a novel that was born······.”

‘Reality.’ I wanted to shout it out loud, but on the contrary, a whisper-like word came out.

The three sisters were just quietly looking at me.

“There’s no ending in reality······. Reality just keeps flowing. There’s no villain drawn like a picture, and there’s no good person drawn like a picture. A well-made villain? There’s absolutely no such thing in reality. It’s full of low-class, despicable, and excessively long-lived guys. They get more tenacious because they get a lot of hate. Haven’t you seen Werner Fenetian?”

「He was certainly not an excellent horse.」

「But he fulfilled his purpose.」

“······What I mean is······.”

I can’t get tired. I still have a long way to go to see the end. I swallowed a sigh, repeating it only in my mind.

The forehead that brushed against my hair as I swept it back was very hot.

“Okay. What kind of ‘ending’ do you want so much that you’re doing this?”

「······.」

“Frankly, we’re almost there now. Aren’t we? I’ve met your Main God now. If this is a real novel, this is where we’re near the ending. This world is relying on me. That’s a fact.”

「······.」

“I said that back then. Right before the Dongsan World Line disappeared······. I’ll do anything, so please build a bridge to the Main God. Then I’ll trade directly with God. What did you say then?”

「We told you that the precious one had not yet accumulated enough causality.」

An answer like an answering machine came back. I shrugged my shoulders as if to show off.

Eunseo, who was holding her breath and listening to our conversation, also shrugged her shoulders.

“It seems I’ve finally fulfilled all the ‘causality’, right?”

「······.」

The gazes of the three old women looking at me gleamed blackly. I felt genuinely disgusted.

I still clearly remembered the miserable sound I heard that day.

‘「Our sisters will be resentful. You will not be able to understand us. You will doubt our true intentions until the very end.」’

‘「But believe us. We are moving towards the promised goal, and we are using all means and methods to ensure that we can reach that ending.」’

“······Then tell me, what is that great goal of yours? The Main God is listening too.”

「······.」

“Tell me. What is the ending that you guys have been chasing without regard to means and methods?”

「······.」

“Right now.”

「······.」

“Spit it out!”

As I shouted a warning, grinding my teeth, the three sisters looked at each other.

Then they nodded at the same time as if agreeing to something.

Soon their wrinkled eyes slowly closed.

-Whew······

Then, in the universe where only starlight flowed quietly, a certain wind began to blow.

I opened my eyes wide while holding Eunseo’s hand.

Božena’s black robe was spreading like ink in all directions.

The black and ominous liquid instantly formed lines, and the lines formed surfaces again.

It was only after a while that I realized it was forming the shape of a book. A very large notebook floating above the sisters’ heads······.

-Flap, flap flap, flap······

“Wait······.”

The finally completed notebook was very familiar.

Even the appearance of the cover and the color of the inner pages were the same as what I knew.

Snap, the sound of my heart splitting in half. I looked at the three sisters in a hurry, wondering if it was possible.

But they still hadn’t opened their eyes.

-Flap flap, flap flap flap······!

“Huck, huh······.”

Prince Yeser’s notebook quickly flipped to the first page.

Around that time, I completely forgot how to breathe.

And when the movement finally stopped······.

-Flap······

‘Don’t get involved with the main characters, survive until the end of the war, and return home healthy!’

The sentence I wrote in the past was looking down on me from a distant place.
