377 Plausibility
As I promised we are back with the daily updates now.
I still haven't planned on bonus chapters for powerstones yet since I am thinking of getting more chapters out for pat.reon.
So, wait a little while and I'll make sure that the wn readers can also get chapters quickly for free.
Anyway, the powerstones would still be appreciated a lot as it would place the fic higher in the ranking and attract readers...Hopefully they stay.
On that note....
How many of you are still here?
However many there are be it 30 or 40 or a 100, thank you for sticking with this fic for so long.
Also come to discord if you are not there already, and if you are there let's start a convo shall we?
It has been too dead lately. let's make it alive again!!
We'll see this one to the end.
Now enjoy the chapter.
....................
[What do you want from us?] The combined voice from the seven rang in his ears but it only stung a little.
"I want your help in destroying the Absolute throne,"
[Are you sure you want to go against the owner of that Throne? Not even constellations dare to do so,] Once again the seven voices spoke in unison, but…
"I just need to cut the connection that is all," Haru said offhandedly like it wasn't even his problem.
'I can do that with Kanae's katana, but that will get us in trouble, this seems the only way through which I get off scot-free while testing a few things,' Haru thought as he heard the voices again.
[We respect your choice and will help you, though you may die here today,]
"No chance, I have too many things to do, I can't die just yet, So, let's begin," Haru grinned as the constellation patterns on the sword started to light up slowly till it was completely enveloped in a golden flaming aura.
[S+ Grade item Four Yin Demon Decapitator has been upgraded to a Constellation Artifact.]
"Hup*" Haru swung the sword down with the full force that he was allowed to use in the current scenario and the flaming sword landed on the golden throne.
BANG*
And the throne was split in two in one strike.
[The protection cast of the Constellation Artifact, The Absolute Throne, has been removed.]
[The Sub-scenario has ended]
['A Mysterious Ruler' has noticed the sudden change in the world.]
"Hmm, Wasn't that too easy?" Haru muttered and Dok-ja couldn't help but smile wryly.
'The difficult part isn't destroying the connection but…'
[Now you've done it, this is the end of you, you damn little cocky insect!!] Paul seemed overjoyed when he saw that Haru had actually destroyed the Absolute Throne.
[Prepare yourself for the burden of Plausibility.] Haru heard that and understood why this Dokkaebi was so happy.
'I am sure Haru-ssi's supporting constellation will help, and there are many other constellations that like him as well, I am sure they will,' Dok-ja thought and it seemed true since nothing was happening to Haru, he was still standing there with the same smile on his face looking at the Dokkaebi as the latter's grin was vanishing slowly.
'Why isn't anything happening to him?' Paul was sure that Haru would be struck down by the plausibility with how unprobable this whole event was.
A mere incarnation who hasn't even completed the fourth scenario being able to cut the connection of an artifact from the 'Mysterious Ruler'? This was bullshit.
Something like this shouldn't happen, that is why he was sure that Haru will die from the aftermath as the Star stream will not let go of a change this big and ridiculous.
'W-What is happening? Why isn't he dead?' Paul was looking through several windows to make sense of what was happening.
A Storm of Plausibility happens when the situation seems too convenient for someone who is going through a scenario where he should be at a disadvantage.
There were a few ways to survive the Plausibility, first is that a realistic power level should be present for the individual to do a certain task, but in this case, Haru shouldn't have the type of power to cut the connection with the Mysterious ruler since he is still an incarnation in the fourth Scenario with no Supporting constellation.
He borrowed the powers from the constellations to achieve the task, so in the end, it was not his own power that brought about the change.
That is why Haru should be punished by the Rules of Plausibility as he changed the situation without the proper power.
So, Haru shouldn't be able to use this method.
The second way to survive the Storm of Plausibility is to get more plausibility from someone else in order to match the amount of Plausibility needed to achieve the feat.
The Plausibility can only be given by other Constellations that have a long history and have achieved a great number of miracles in their time.
But…
'There are no constellations that are making a move here, what is happening?' Paul was sweating by the second when he saw that Haru was still fine.
'I even filed a complaint to check his plausibility but, why is nothing happening?' It was then that Paul realized something, 'W-Wait it can't be, that method is even more impossible….'
But Paul checked it nonetheless and he was stupefied…
[203,120]
[190,091]
[170,990]
[150,690]
[135,789]
[100,001]
[H-How?] Paul was too shocked to speak but he completed his words in his mind as he saw the number flickering on top of Haru's head as it decreased rapidly.
'How does he have that many Coins?!' Paul shouted in his mind.
The third way to avoid a Strom of Plausibility is by paying a large number of coins to make up for the missing Plausibility because coins, in the end, are made from raw plausibility, they allow an incarnation to increase their strength to an inhuman level while granting them skills that humans shouldn't have.
'What is he saying?' Paul could see Haru move his lips looking at him. And when he focused he could read his lip movement to understand what he wanted to say.
'Idiot,' Haru grinned while looking at Paul who was gritting his teeth as his eyes went red in fury.
"You see everyone? This is where things turn, just blindly following the Dokkaebis will not lead to anything but more slaughter and the loss of your own fellow humans, is that how you want things to continue?" Haru looked at everyone who was gathered around the elevated platform he was standing on.
A few minutes ago they were fighting over the Absolute Throne which they viewed as absolute authority; they thought that the person who had that would rule everyone.
It was a symbol of power that the Dokkaebi have built, Dokkaebi themselves were viewed as powerful creatures that they as humans had no chance of defying.
But right in front of their eyes, they saw a human destroy the Absolute Throne while also making the Dokkaebi look like a total fool.
This turned the tables completely and was sort of a demonstration of what could happen in the future.
'If it's him…'
'Maybe he'll achieve it…'
The thought surfaced in the minds of everyone present and…
"Of course, none of us will stand that, we've suffered enough," Hee-won was the one who shouted, she had seen what lengths the Dokkaebi pushed people to.
She herself took the life of someone in order to live, but if she had a chance to finish the scenario without killing a person, would she?
Of course, she would.
Humans were creates wired to seek the comfortable way out in everything, they spare no effort to make their lives more comfortable each and every day.
And this was true even in this destroyed world.
No, it would be better to say that this instinct has never been truer in a world such as this.
The people present were able to understand how to make their life comfortable.
"Me too!!"
"Of course, we aren't going to stand it any longer,"
"Yeah, we'll all gather together!!"
"We'll show these bastards what we're made of!"
Shouts began to come from the surroundings and before long the entire Gwang-Hwamun Square was filled with shouts of affirmation and celebration of their victory.
"That was a nice one Hee-won," Kanae seemed impressed that Hee-won took up the clues and moved on her own.
"Well, I am not really the main reason this happened, It is all him," Hee-won pointed at Haru who was standing at the platform where everyone's eyes gathered.
And this didn't just include the Incarnations but…
[The constellation 'Prisoner of The Golden Headband' is happy with the result.]
[The Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' wants to see more violence.]
[The Constellation 'Noble Child of The Sun' is happy to see that you are unharmed.]
[The Constellation 'Goddess of Love and Beauty' is saying 'I am falling in love']
[The Constellation 'One Who Likes To Change Genders' is licking her lips.]
[The Constellation 'I Like Feet' is impressed by your plans.]
[The Constellation 'I Am Worth More Than That' is looking forward to more interesting plans from you.]
[The Constellation 'Demonic Judge Of Fire' is hoping you wont fight your comrade.]

Haru's ears started ringing with how many messages he was getting here but he ignored it.
'If it was any other person, their best bet would be to get the Absolute throne, But that does not apply to him since...' Dok-ja thought while he moved his eyes to the person who had the most eyes on him.
'Haru-ssi doesn't really need something like the Absolute Throne.' Dok-ja had seen this throughout the time he had been with Haru, he had an unmatched level of charisma that drew people in, as well as a personality that made people want to stay near him.
'He is the total opposite of Yu Jung-hyuk in personality since he has charisma as well,' Dok-ja looked at Jung-hyuk who was still passed out and wondered, 'Would the novel have been more famous if Jung-hyuk was like Haru-ssi?'
'I think it would,' Dok-ja thought briefly.
[The Fourth Scenario is forcefully ended]
[There was an unscheduled incident, So it will take time to settle the rewards.]
[You have accomplished a non-existent achievement.]
[Your new Narrative has been created.]
[The Fable 'King Of The Kingless World' has been born.]
