With how much probability the giant nebulae had spent on this scenario, along with the probability of Seoul's strongest incarnations using their power against a dangerous creature, it wasn't surprising when the space of the place they were in ripped apart—sending them back to reality—and the Great Hall opened in the sky.
"…"
Why did things always escalate?
[Some constellations are exiting the channel.]
As Kim Dokja reconsidered his life choices, Van calmly stared at the Outer God descending.
Meanwhile, Klein kept his eyes shut to not be affected by madness due to looking at a divine being like last time.
'…Didn't divination say that this scenario wouldn't be dangerous?'
With what standard would an Outer God descending not be dangerous?
Kim Dokja prepared a plan to fight like last time when something surprising happened.
"…"
"…"
"Ah."
Lenoch nodded. Indeed, that was what was supposed to happen when normal Outer Gods descended. This reaction was more familiar. The one last time was too damaged.
Unsure of what was happening due to closing his eyes, Klein inquired, "What happened?"
"Uh…"
Jung Heewon tried to organize her words with a tone that seemed to imply 'why am I still surprised'?
"Van, are you personally acquainted with that thing?" Lee Jihye asked.
"No."
The Outer God was kneeling, acting abnormally friendly toward Van instead of attacking.
"Go back," Van ordered.
Although reluctant, the Outer God did as told.
[A lot of constellations are questioning their eyes!]
[Some constellations doubt the probability!]
[The scenario is forcibly ended.]
Lenoch read notifications appearing in front of him.
[You have acquired a new tale.]
[You have collected five legendary stories.]
[You meet the qualifications as a constellation.]
Then, things started to turn weird.
[The Administrative Bureau's probability check is over.]
Sparks rose around him.
Lenoch felt his status and magic power elevate uncontrollably, increasing the sparks around him.
His magic started to get out of his control.
Van's expression hardened.
"Step back."
[The 'Returnee Scenario' will be replaced.]
Kim Dokja had a bad feeling.
'Ah, right, Van should have had a Returnee Scenario after coming back here from being expelled from the scenarios…'
But why was it replaced?
A dokkaebi appeared.
[Well, well, well. What do we have here?]
The creature's smile was ominous.
[Everyone, you must know the rules of the Star Stream.]
When most constellations' wills align, the Star Stream moves toward that direction.
Did the giant nebulae do something again?
Was an incarnation becoming a constellation seen as a threat to them?
The dokkaebi snapped its fingers.
[This incarnation has long broken the probability. So, it's only fair to get rid of the nuisance, right?]
A thought crossed Kim Dokja's mind.
…Something that would balance the scales against Van's presence.
Something to repay the probability Van spent since the beginning and also allowed by the Star Stream, thus decreasing the price for the other side.
The probability storm around Van was increasing.
[As you were all waiting for, let's reveal the scenario!]
Kim Dokja's worries were confirmed.

Then, constellations descended.
[It is the first time in the history of the Star Stream that Eden and Asgard joined forces to take down someone. You should be honored.]
So destroying half of Olympus as Victor wasn't enough?
…Or, on the contrary, did his actions of going around and killing constellations of the giant nebulae cause them to act?
He saw more fate messages coming toward him.
However, with his target resistance, that was useless.
What Lenoch was more worried about was…
He stepped back, lightning coiling around his body.
His magic indiscriminately attacked everything around him. He couldn't control it anymore.
"Van?"
This was worse than when his lightning magic system got out of control, his magic now activated without his will.
He had to create distance between him and others.
[Take him down!]
His magic destroyed everything next to him, annihilating the nearby incarnations.
In an instant, dozens died.
He had to get away fast.
"Step back," he warned again, moving away as fast as he could.
Kim Dokja's group shouldn't approach. He couldn't control the damage he was causing right now.
"Where is the nearest empty space?"
Jung Heewon answered him.
Van immediately headed there.
The range of his magic got wider and wider, consuming the necessary probability to summon more archangels and demons.
The enemies weren't a problem.
The most important point was to wait until his magic power was completely depleted even after defeating them.
As Gehrman watched Van move away, his expression hardened.
Maybe because they considered them Van's companions, some angels and demons that didn't chase after Van were attacking their group as well.
[The constellation, 'Demon-like Judge of Fire', is restrained by other archangels.]
[The constellation, 'Demon-like Judge of Fire', looks at the battlefield with worry.]
Jung Heewon unsheathed her sword.
"Gehrman, think you can help?"
There were too many enemies. She couldn't block them all alone.
Klein nodded.
Then, he headed to another side of the battlefield.
Due to their higher status, he couldn't turn them into marionettes. However…
Klein grabbed at the air. Failing, he tried again, until he finally pulled out a person.
…He could still summon angels from the pores of history.
Of course, the 'angels' in question didn't mean they belonged to Eden or were good people, but that they had the corresponding strength in the Beyonder world.
Thankfully, most of their enemies weren't constellations but incarnations from Asgard or Eden.
'What is this, an early 'War of Good and Evil' with Van as the center?' Kim Dokja thought.
Ah no, they wanted to kill him too.
Kim Dokja made a wry smile. Did he provoke the giant nebulae too much recently?
The sunfish seemed to be considering regression on the side. Kim Dokja rushed to hit the back of his head.
"Hey, Yoo Joonghyuk!"
He didn't know how the others were doing, so he should focus on this side first.
Meanwhile, Klein felt something from his spiritual intuition. Leaving angels to fight in his stead, he divined Fors's location.
Klein frowned.
The divination failed.
She was nowhere to be found.
Worried, he decided to check up on Shin Yoosoung and followed the constellation-incarnation link.
Teleporting through flames, he soon reached in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief.
Sitting on a sofa, the child looked at him innocently, without any injuries.
"Ahjussi."
Shin Yoosoung smiled.
Suddenly, the atmosphere changed.
The girl reached into her pocket and put on a monocle.
"Or should I say, Mr. Fool?"
Shin Yoosoung's lips curved into a mischievous smile, uncharacteristic of her usual calm and reserved behavior.
"It's been a while."
Klein was frozen.
"…Amon."
