### First appearance

Chapter 472

The **Living Flame** is an Outer God that appears in the later half of the series. She is revealed to be the Uriel from the 999th round, who has witnessed the Conclusion of the 999th World Line. She serves as a calamity.

## Appearance & Personalities

She looks almost the same as the 1864th round's Uriel, save for generally having a colder aura.

## Personality

She is a cold-blooded, cruel judge and a being of absolute righteousness. Unlike the 1864th round's Uriel, her kindness has been worn down by witnessing Yoo Joonghyuk's sacrifice and becoming an outer god, and she is generally colder, though not altogether without mercy.

## History

Not much is known about the Living Flame's past. She willingly became Yoo Joonghyuk's ally as he risked everything to fight, and had fought by his side, watching his back. At some point, she discovered that the outer god who signed the contract with the 999th round's Yoo Joonghyuk, which would eventually kill him, was the Secretive Plotter. She, along with the rest of the 999th round's party, presumably reached the end of the scenarios and became outer gods in a bid to chase down the Plotter and avenge their world.

## Synopsis

The Living Flame is summoned to the 1864th round at N'Gai's Forest, presumably by the Great Dokkaebi, to get rid of the Plotter. She matches him in ability, and when he tries to regress, she preempts him due to her knowledge of the stigma and attempts to place a Sealing Sphere on him, pledging to avenge her world-line. When Kim Dokja tries to distract and dissuade her, she resolves to fight him as well. However, the 1864th round's Uriel comes to his rescue along with his party, and as Disconnected Film Theory activates, both Uriels are stunned and temporarily incapacitated, and the Plotter escapes alongside the others. Due to a lack of probability, the Living Flame is unable to follow them.

She reappears as part of Hidden Scenario: Great Apocalypse, fighting part of Kim Dokja's Company, led by Han Sooyoung. She near-effortlessly holds her own, sending an invasion of small outer gods to decimate the Korean peninsula. However, as more and more constellations come to aid Kim Dokja's Company, the Flame eventually grows overwhelmed, both in terms of power and longing for a future like the one of the 1864th round. When the Monarch of the Great Abyss also incarnates into the scenario, the tables turn once more. The Flame helps the Monarch stabilize when Han Sooyoung temporarily manages to weaken him, and when Yoo Joonghyuk appears, both outer gods chase him away from the party and towards where the other two outer gods of the 999th round are having their own battle.

When she catches up to Yoo Joonghyuk, accessing his 999th round self through Disconnected Film Theory, the Living Flame snaps for the others to not mistake him for their dead team leader, as the Theory was activated only through linkage to Secretive Plotter. He addresses her as his 999th round self and tells her he never died, only regressed and became the very Plotter she hates, and she can't bring herself to fight him any longer, frightened at the possibility of killing her team leader with her own hands. She rallies after a moment, attacking once more in order to fulfill a promise to Yoo Joonghyuk to kill him if he ever changed so far he became someone else. Though she fights furiously, being grievously injured, she is distracted when Kim Dokja defeats the Monarch of the Great Abyss, rushing over to stop him from killing him. Kim Dokja doesn't attack any further, instead revealing that he knows they never intended to destroy Earth.

A despairing Living Flame demands to know why the 999th round failed when the 1864th didn't. When Yoo Joonghyuk questions her, paraphrasing his 999th round self's words, the Flame tries to reach out to the version of him she knows, but is rejected, finally realizing he won't show himself. Kim Dokja appeals to the outer gods for peace, and when they ask him how he created a world so similar to their own, the Living Flame tries to reach out and read his Stories, only to be blocked by the Fourth Wall. She understands that Kim Dokja possesses the key to surpassing the Final Wall, and though she sees his potential, can't bring herself to believe they can succeed, and launches one final, massive attack, wanting them to prove they can overcome anything. Successfully beaten back, she is about to concede when the Final Wall appears before Kim Dokja's Company, causing all the outer gods to reel in fear.

The Great Apocalypse scenario is completed, with the outer gods suffering defeat. The Living Flame has a word with Kim Dokja, promising to watch his Story, then leads the Monarch of the Great Abyss and Master of the Sunken Island in rejecting their positions as the final scenario's calamities and sealing themselves away using Sealing Spheres. The spheres remain in the middle of the Factory.

## Abilities

She possesses tremendous power, equaling the Secretive Plotter and surpassing the current world line's Uriel, enough to destroy the entire hall of N'Gai's Forest in 2 attacks. She's also been described as even stronger than the Surya of the 265th round, who destroyed the Earth.

### Stigma

* **Hellfire:** A pure white flame, brilliant and luminous, which burns away at any evil found in its target, and which cannot be put out. Kim Dokja describes it as one of the greatest stigmas in the world of Ways of Survival, boasting destructive power equivalent to the Prisoner of the Golden Headband's stigma. The Living Flame's version of this stigma is presumably much stronger than its 1864th round's counterpart, having grown as its owner saw the Conclusion of her own timeline.

### Items

* Flames of Retribution
* Sealing Sphere

## Stories

* **Flames of Eternity (Giant Story):** Has unknown amount of shares in this, acquired through fighting toward the Conclusion of the 999th round's world line.

## Trivia

* The modifier "Living Flame", attached to her by the Recorders of Fear, does not reflect her original essence at all.
* Like the other Outer Gods, Uriel's outer god modifier comes from a deity in the Cthulhu Mythos: Cthugha, "The Living Flame."
