Chapter 440: Converge
The Constellations enjoyed the battle that was taking place on the island. The scenario was going on better than they expected. There was blood, death, and most importantly the weird balance kept them entranced.
Neither side has shown a clear advantage just yet. Many started to place their bets, while others relished the entertainment this provided.
But like those who enjoyed it, there were many who complained. However, most of them had the same complaints.
[The Constellation 'Noble Child of The Sun' demands to know the whereabouts of the Incarnation 'Tsugikuni Haru']
[The Constellation 'Prisoner of The Golden Headband' is gripping his Pole with dissatisfaction.]
[The Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' demands more action.]
[The Constellation 'Demonic Judge Of Fire' is huffing with anger.]
[The Constellation 'Goddess Of Love and Beauty' wants to know the location of her favorite incarnation.]
[The Constellation 'The First Who Doesn't Know Consent' doesn't like the silence]
[The Constellation 'The Second Who Doesn't Know Consent' is unhappy with current progress]
[The Constellation 'The Violent Dancer' is shaking his head.]
[The Constellation 'Almighty Sun' is disappointed.]
[The Constellation 'Scribe Of Heaven' is amused.]
[The Constellation 'Ghost Of Tosa'....]

[The Constellation 'Secretive Plotter' looks forward to the result of this Scenario.]
'These backstabbers,' Paul watched the live feed with a grimace.
Most of these inquiries and threats came from Takamagahara, Olympus, Vedas, and Eden. But only the first Nebula had genuine concern in their words.
'They happily gave away the probability to remove him from the scenarios. But now these bastards are acting up.' The Constellations saw that as an opportunity and invested. However, Paul was unable to deliver on his deal.
Haru refused to hear the other constellations after the first one. So there was no way for them to present a contract. And their attempt to corner Queresha also failed miserably too. That is why most of the Constellations who paid for this to happen were unhappy. Now they were threatening him with their power.
[But why the hell is she making so much noise?] Paul's frown deepened. Pressure piled up on him from Takamagahara's three factions as inquiries from the bureau poured in.
Anyone who followed Haru's group knew that Amaterasu was more than invested in him.
'But she didn't pay a single coin. Fucking bitch!' Amaterasu presented a generous amount of coins and benefits. But only on the condition that Haru signs a contract with her Nebula.
She promised more than 10 times what others offered, and it was within her means to pay. But Paul knew that he was being fooled. Even then it was fine. He got a considerable amount of resources from the other constellations. But they weren't enough for his plans. Soon he'd have to release Haru, whether he succeeded in making him suffer or not.
However, Paul had a hidden card. Just by using the measly probability that the Constellations gave him, he could never do what he wanted.
"Kuku, these small fries were under the impression that they ruled the star stream." It was laughable, but this bubble will soon burst.
[The Constellation 'Dessert For Days' is waiting patiently.]
[I'll show these fuckers their real place,] Paul smirked. It was time to stand true to his promise.

The incarnations of Seoul Dome put their souls into the fight against the never-ending wave of beasts. Male, Female, elderly, or child, if they could fight they did. It was a desperate time where death perched over their shoulders anyway. So they decided to go out swinging.
"Come on soldiers, the King has activated her Attribute. It is time to be useful. Charge!" The second in command to Kanae's group took the lead.
They received a hefty buff thanks to her and this feeling wasn't unknown to them. They have fought under her for the sake of justice since the start and will continue to do so till they die.
"Ohhh!"
"Haaaa!"
"Charge!!"
"For Her Majesty!"
"For The Queen!!!"
Watching them cut through the horde Min Ji-won's soldiers rose up too. The sudden surge of strength was seen across the battlefield and the incarnations started to push Beast wave back.
"Seol-hwa Unnie take a break." Jin-ah wiped the sweat off her forehead. The wall of ice in front will be able to hold the wave in this area for a few minutes.
"No... I can still continue..." Seol-hwa downed another stamina potion and nearly threw up. Her small stomach had no more space, but she pushed the nausea aside and stood up, "I'll rest with everyone else."
"Yeah, we can still fight," Sang-ah panted, but her complexion appeared better.
The increased stats gave her body the much-needed fuel to recover; the same was true for Seol-hwa. They would've faced more trouble if not for this.
"There is a new horde of flying beasts coming our way!" Alea notified them and Jin-ah got to work.
A wave of her hand sent flying spears of ice, they shot down a good number of them, and the others that dived down were caught by the net of mana strings and vines that choked the life out of them. Like that another pack of tier 7 beasts were killed.
The longer the battle continued. They understood that the only way to end this was to defeat the Disaster of Floods in the middle.
To achieve that, the battle on No-deul Island continued. And it flattened the entire area.
"Grr!" So far she has only been hit once.
However, even after minutes the white flame continued to cause excruciating pain to Yoo-sung as the slash on her back was yet to heal.
"Take this!" And Hee-won's persistent attacks made it worse.
No matter how many times she was knocked down she got right up and moved ahead. The same was true for Kanae and Hae-in, and the one who made it possible was in the back watching her with flickering red eyes.
"Try to not get too injured, the mana I kept aside for healing is already depleted," Hee-won smiled wryly at those flat words. There was no sense of urgency in Queresha's behavior or her tone.
'But, we do need to end this right now,' Hee-won gripped her weapon.
Broken bones and deep cuts made her wince as a considerable amount of blood poured out of the wounds. Hee-won was the main source of offense in the team. So she was targeted more brutally than the others. Sometimes Yoo-sung would ignore the others and go for her.
"She's coming this way again." And she was fine with that.
Hee-won swung the blade with all her strength. But instead of avoiding like she did before, Yoo-sung took the attack with her forearm. The blade cut through her fur and sliced her muscles. But it could not go through her bone.
"What?" Hee-won tried to move back as cold sweat dripped from her sharp brow. The willingness to take that strike meant that she had further plans.
"The annoyance ends now." Uncaring for the white flame that vaporized her blood, Yoo-sung sent a full-powered punch into Hee-won's defenseless gut.
The compressed ether exploded. Hee-won spat blood and went flying towards Queresha who caught her. By the time she set the injured Hee-won down, Yoo-sung was nowhere to be seen.
'She rushed behind her the moment Queresha's line of sight was covered.' Hae-in noticed but did not move yet.
'Shit!' Hee-won felt it and tried to move. The situation wasn't good. Her legs didn't respond in time. Queresha's back was wide open. She didn't have enough time to defend as the shadow of death loomed over them.
But her body was pressed down by the person in question. She stared at her usual blank face and the claws that reached for her head. Yet, there was not a single shred of fear in her.
"Converge." Before the word left her lips a pillar of purple lightning dropped on Yoo-sung.
"AAAarrrrgggh!"
