Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Conclusion


    Han Dong had previously risked his life to show off.


    This was the development of events he had been anticipating.


    Han Dong understood very well that Nicole, a royal deep-sea diver like her, could never have been summoned here so easily.


    From what he had experienced so far, most of the creatures summoned by the[Cult]were merely low-ranking monsters.


    Nicole has a strong curiosity, always eager to learn everything.


    “If I’m not mistaken, the reason you were summoned to this world is probably because you secretly escaped from the deep sea and approached the surface area, where you were affected by the summoning magic array, right?


    After all, I haven’t seen any lifeforms in the cult that are at the same level as you.


    Otherwise, if deep-sea divers like you were summoned here, humans would have long since perished.”


    It appeared that Han Dong had touched on something with his remarks. Nicole’s octopus tentacles twitched lightly, secreting a slick mucus, and she stuck out her little tongue slightly.


    “I’ve learned all the knowledge in the deep sea and it’s boring always staying in the sea.


    I want to understand more interesting things, so I sneaked out.<div>


    It seems that you, the messenger,e from a much more interesting world, and there’s a connection between your world and me.


    I want to go and see…”


    During her speech, Nicole’s dark eyes sparkled with an intense desire.


    She seemed like one of those girls who couldn’t be confined and liked to wander around.


    “I can take you, but not right now.”


    “Ah! Why?”


    Nicole knew very well that the ‘messenger’ had the ability to contain lives.


    The red-dressed woman and bald hell male leaning against Han Dong were clearly the messenger’s containment objects.


    “Because… there’s not enough room.” Han Dong looked rather helpless too.


    “As expected, messenger, you’re still in your initial state and your containment space is not enough! But that’s okay…”


    Just then.


    Nicole gritted her teeth and abruptly severed a pink tentacle from her body.


    The detached tentacle instantly became dry, transforming into a dried octopus-like form.


    “This is one of my tentacles… if you, the messenger, ever have extra space, you can summon me at any time through this.”


    『You’ve obtained the summoning token ‘Nicole Little Paw Tentacles’』.


    You can use it in any Fate Space to summon the Deep-sea Diver – Nicole Little Paw, who will assist in terminating a Fate event once.


    Note:[Nicole Little Paw]will also count as one of the participants once summoned, thereby increasing the difficulty of the event.』


    “Okay.”


    Han Dong hid his joyful expression, smiling and nodding.<div>


    “Nicole, you should head back to the deep-sea for now.”


    “Hmm… It seems the Sea God is somewhat angry, I need to go back for a while.”


    When Nicole passed through the[Gate], it rippled as if she was returning to the deep-sea.


    Feeling like he was at the end of a story, Han Dong took a deep breath, preparing to wrap up.<div>


    “Let’s start…”


    First, he had Chen Li and Togu return to their cards.


    After bidding farewell to the surviving vigers, Han Dong walked into the[Gate]alone.


    Entering at different times or with different identities would lead to different destinations.


    Han Dong ended up in a strange forest filled with mystical starry glow.


    『Warning! Warning!』


    『You have entered an area that touches the [Deep Croke System], which is not within the scope of the “Mist” event, please leave!』


    But Han Dong ignored the System’s warning and walked in the forest.


    Some indescribable creatures were peering at Han Dong in the mystifying luminescence, and some multi-colored mist floated around him.


    If amon person inhaled this mist, their brain would immediately[enlighten], growing multi-colored tree-like limbs, and be a permanent resident of the forest.


    “This ce is about right… Let’s choose this ce.”


    Standing in front of arge hole in the forest, Han Dong took the [Omen Bag] from his waist.


    Exhausting all of his mythical energy, he used the power of tentacles topletely tear the bag’s seal, throwing it into therge hole.<div>


    All of a sudden! Therge hole turned into a deep abyss that couldn’t be seen to the bottom.


    The colorful mirage in the forest was dispelled, and a rather terrifying entity descended…


    Ever since Han Dong first reached his arm into the Omen Bag, he had discovered that there was a lifeform of rather terrifying nature hidden deep within the bag.


    The terrifying creature had the ability to produce an Omen card that could influence reality.


    ……


    The Omen had arrived.


    The mystical creatures of the forest scattered in terror.


    Only Han Dong stood there, unfazed, facing the [Omen King] whose presence shadowed everything.


    An indescribable high-ranking pressure,


    An inescapable level difference,


    An ongoing, overwhelming presence of the Omen.


    All of these were indicating Han Dong’s sure demise.


    However, facing such existence, Han Dong did not feel an iota of fear.<div>


    On the contrary, he calmlymented,


    “To end with despair, matches the true essence of the ‘Mist’ movie…”


    Since the event started, all eight collected manuscripts had been retrieved and arranged in order.


    Simultaneously,


    The cover of the manuscript found at the beginning of the movie, in the study room rented by the author that was yed by Han Dong, was also retrieved.


    This cover contained only the letters ‘MI’.


    In fact, by expanding thinking just a bit, one could realize that the title wasn’tpleted… its actual title should be ‘MIST (Mist)’.


    Afterpleting the cover, innumerable dark arms from the terrifying Omen’s painting pulled Han Dong into the abyss.


    This despairing end had been written at the end of the manuscript…


    At the moment of being enveloped by the endless Omen, a system notification was heard.


    “True ending has been reached”


    Just as quickly,


    The darkness receded.<div>


    Han Dong found himself in a rental house at the beginning of the ‘Mist’ movie.


    However,


    The current town did not undergo the events of the Mist, nor was it affected by a storm.


    In the rental house, there was not just Han Dong, but also another visitor.


    This visitor had already aplished their goal, standing by the doorway changing shoes, about to depart.


    From a side view, he appeared as a long-faced American man, a bit peculiar-looking, and held a stack of manuscript in his hands.


    This man emitted an indescribably terrifying aura, unlike Han Dong’s at all.


    “Mr. Nichs, your story is fascinating, and I’m very pleased,”


    “You…are?”


    As Han Dong finished his question, the man had already vanished.


    “Whew… the Dream is finally over. Such solo event is challenging,”


    Han Dong now was in the real world where his various abilities were unrestricted and could be used freely.


    Everything that happened in the ‘Mist’ event,


    Chapter One – Cold Spider,


    Chapter Two – Soldier in the Mist,


    Chapter Three – The Hanged Woman,


    Chapter Four – The Corpse,


    Chapter Five – Wandering Phantom,


    Chapter Six – The Gatherer in the Church,


    Chapter Seven – Horrific Experiment Failure,


    Chapter Eight – Void Cult,


    The Final Chapter – Door and Abyss,


    All of these urrences were merely part of an impromptu story for a novel.


    This would exin why in the event, the [Omen] could influence [Reality], a subjective phenomenon, and why Han Dong’s various powers were weakened, locked or manifested in alternative ways.


    Everything was simply a story.


    However, a section of a pink octopus’ tentacle, which was the reward forpleting the story, was held in Han Dong’s hand.
