In the last chapter of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, we saw Dokja coming in contact with the otherworldly divinity who made it clear that the “last story” had indeed begun. Back at the scenario, all of Dokja’s companions are struggling to hold their ground because they don’t have someone to lead them, but worry not as Dokja is back, and he’s stronger than ever. Witness the true power of the “Constellation” Dokja as we dive deeper into this series!
Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint Chapter 172: Recap
The chapter opens up with Goryeo’s top Swordsman announcing his support for Kim Dokja’s newly found nebula. The God of the sea and the Bald General of Justice follow Goryeo’s Top Swordsman’s lead and announce their support. The Dokkaebi tries to stop them because they can’t just randomly support Dokja when suddenly, Secretive Plotter announces his support from the shadows.
Kim Dokja is shocked to see this, and so he looks around to search for Secretive Plotter. The Star Stream announces that Dokja has earned the temporary rights to create a nebula, and then suddenly, the entire banquet gets covered with some otherworldly tension. Dokja looks up at the sky as he knows what’s coming towards them. A hole opens up in the sky, and an otherworldly divinity emerges from it.
Manu of the Vedas opposes the otherworldly divinity interfering with the Constellations banquet. The Otherworldly Divinity expresses its discontent over not being invited to the banquet, and just the sheer pressure from its voice silences everyone. Persephone and Uriel cover Dokja’s and Joonghyuk’s ears because they would die if they heard the voice of the otherworldly divinity.
Persephone tells Dokja that this is the end of the line for him. Uriel also bids farewell to Dokja and expresses her wish to meet him again someday. The otherworldly divinity spots Dokja and Joonghyuk and rushes toward them, but Persephone manages to teleport both of them back to the scenario before that can happen.
The otherworldly divinity makes contact with Dokja for a short moment, and in that moment, they realize that someone unrecorded in the wheel of time has made an appearance, which could mean that the final story has begun.
The focus then shifts to Seoul, where some people are trying to loot Dokja’s grave. They dig up the grave while talking about how Dokja is a hero. They eventually find Dokja’s body in it, but as soon as they try to take his stuff, Dokja rises from the dead. Anyone would get scared in such a situation, and those looters get scared, too, so they run away.
All the people in the scenario get the notification regarding the completion of the 5 fables and the creation of a new Constellation. Jihye, Gilyoung, and Yoosung also get this notification while they are running away from some monsters. They arrive at the black castle and take refuge in the temporary mana barrier.
The mana barrier’s time limit gets set to 30 minutes, and so the monsters chasing Jihye decide to stay outside the barrier and wait for it to go down. Jihye wonders why the monsters are behaving so weirdly, and Yoosung gets scared because they have been trapped. Jihye looks at the city from the window beside her and sees everyone getting killed mercilessly. She sheds a tear and wonders how things would’ve been if Dokja was still around.
Just when Jihye thinks of Dokja, Yoosung says that he must be alive because she can still feel his presence. Jihye was already drowning in grief at Dokja’s death, and that grief turned into anger as she accepted this cruel reality. She walks up to Yoosung and says that Dokja is dead and that she should forget his ugly face.
