Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint Chapter 155: Recap
In the previous chapter, we saw Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung facing each other as Heewon gets consumed by her past traumas. Heewon uses her powers to raise the temperature of the area surrounding her, which leads to Hyunsung’s metal armor getting Quenched and melting.
Even though Quenching is a process that usually makes Steel stronger, in this situation, Hyunsung would need to endure a lot because of the above-standard temperatures, so it is extremely difficult.
Heewon’s thought infection progresses even further, leading her to a state where she could completely lose her rationality. Her traumas become completely exposed, and she starts shouting about how much she hates humans and how they should all die, referencing the Guemho station incident.
Hyunsung also hears her words which surprises Dokja as he didn’t know he could read minds. Hyunsung says he could only do it a little bit, but he never knew Dokja could hear the omniscient reader’s messages. Dokja apologizes for hiding this fact, and they shift their focus to the battle as they get attacked.
Dokja asks Hyunsung to try and subdue Heewon, but he gets concerned that she might get hurt in the process. Dokja thinks of two ways to end this battle which are either killing Nirvana or solving Heewon’s Trauma. Killing Nirvana is currently impossible, and so the only way is to help Heewon breakthrough.
Hyunsung hears these options and asks Dokja to give it a try. He envelops himself in steel armor and runs straight toward Heewon while resisting the insane heat, which leads to his mental state reaching its limits. Hyunsung’s armor starts to melt, and he falls to his knees while the constellation “Master of Steel” looks at him with a wistful gaze.
Dokja takes over by breaking the fourth wall and using the “First person side character’s viewpoint” skill to its limits. He feels the heat from the melting armor and wonders how Hyunsung was able to endure such pain and then tries to persuade Heewon.
He tells her that if she keeps going at this rate, everyone will die, including Hyunsung. She still doesn’t stop, so Dokja slowly walks towards her despite the harsh temperatures, and Hyunsung soon takes over because he wants to end the battle himself.
The will of Steel responds to Hyunsung, and he hugs Heewon through the fire. The constellation “demon-like judge of fire” gets surprised by this unexpected turn of events. Hyunsung covers himself and Heewon in metal, and the flames go out with a huge explosion marking the end of the fable, “first proof of steel.” The metal layer breaks, and Hyunsung and Heewon come out unscathed. Hyunsung tries to let her go, but Heewon gets closer to him and thanks him for all his efforts.
Heewon suddenly starts acting weird and runs away from Hyunsung. She looks up at the sky and shouts towards Dokja, informing him that Sangah is in danger. This news causes a shock which leads to Dokja’s body waking up.
