A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 139
Episode 139
The rapidly changing situation
[This is breaking news. Brazil has collapsed! Currently, all high-ranking government officials, including the president and vice president, appear to be dead, the Brazilian Association and heroes are also neutralized, and the capital and major cities are said to have been destroyed..]
[Additional news. It is also said that a large-scale fire has broken out in the Amazonian forest on the Brazilian side and shows no sign of going out. All neighboring countries in South America have declared a state of emergency, and it is said that the survivors are currently fleeing as refugees..]
A country was destroyed by talented people..
This started to have a huge impact on the international community..
[Governments around the world have declared a state of emergency, and tensions are rampant in the international community. South Korea also declared a state of emergency....]
[The United Nations and the International Heroes Association General Committee issued a joint statement, calling the Brazil incident a "shocking and terrible act of inhumanity," and announced that "all measures will be taken to resolve the situation." He also added that he will cooperate with the association's heroes and exert all his might to uncover the truth and kill the villain..]
[The United States also called this incident a terrible disaster and said it was sorry for not being able to help as a member of the international community, and announced that it would immediately dispatch heroes from its own association to help resolve the situation. Currently, tens of thousands of refugees are still evacuating Brazil, and the Amazon is still burning fiercely..]
[The results of the first investigation into the situation by the International General Hero Association and the United States have been released. According to a report released by UHN, the destruction of Brazil was caused by S-class villains from other countries, and it appears that they planned this out of revenge against the Brazilian government for not accepting their threats..]
[Their individual abilities were evaluated as being the best among S-class villains. Brazil is a country with a weak hero base, with only one Class A hero as the strongest, and a country with few high-powered heroes relative to its population..]
[The United States' association confirmed that it would send two of its S-class heroes and five A-class heroes to find the criminal, solve the case, and provide assistance. This is a significant expenditure, and is considered unusual for an American association that is extremely reluctant to allow its country's heroes to travel abroad. This can be interpreted to mean that North America is also taking this incident quite seriously....]
[A report was released in the local media early this morning that three of the four enemies who destroyed Brazil were successfully killed. One person is said to be currently on the run..]
[Amazon's lights have finally gone out! Local media reported that America's S-class hero Watermel turned it off..]
[Citizens around the world have started the #pray4brazil movement. Along with the hashtag, there was a message expressing support for Brazil and news of relief goods and donations... In Korea, Yuseong Corporation is known to have participated in this work..]
[Twenty-seven national chapters of hero associations around the world gathered together and issued a statement condemning the American Hero Association. The gist of the statement is, 'Although the United States possessed the world's overwhelming power of paranormal abilities, it did not even think about helping Brazil, the country just below it, and eventually Brazil was destroyed. The United States must take responsibility for this.'.]
[The American Association is strongly protesting against the emergence of a kind of responsibility theory that the defensive attitude of the United States, which has always been sensitive to the leakage of its own heroes, abetted Brazil's destruction by missing an opportunity to prevent it..]

It was a confusing time..
What happens on the other side of the world can have a huge impact on us, a small country in the East..
[The stock market is plummeting every day. It is predicted that the international community will freeze and this will be a most difficult time. Our government is doing its best to immediately reduce interest rates and conclude currency swap agreements with each country..]
[The Korean Hero Association is in a 24-hour emergency meeting. This meeting, attended by the president of the association, three A-class heroes, and B-class heroes, was held in response to frequent incidents of terrorism due to the recent increase in anxiety....]
[Legislation to regulate people with paranormal abilities is emerging, especially in South America. Unlike before, the plan is to investigate all citizens and forcibly find out who possesses paranormal abilities. There are even extreme claims that failure to comply will result in imprisonment..]
"No, what kind of country would fall into ruin like that?..."
Choi Se-hee muttered as if it were absurd while watching the news..
These days, when you turn on the TV, there's news, breaking news, or something like that every day. However, if the Internet is different, it is still the same. Brazil cannot recover territory, etc..
The reason why this incident caused such an uproar is because it is the first time in the international community that a villain has overthrown a country like this..
In other words, it is not strange that the Internet is in an uproar..
Even in our country, which is far away from Brazil, this story comes up all day long, so what about other South American countries or the United States that are right next to us? just flipped over.
"Brother, there's so much data right now that I don't know what's going on, but what exactly happened??"
Seo-eun, who was looking at her laptop, asked me as if she was confused..
"Well, to put it simply: Super strong villains destroy all government heroes, burn forests, and destroy cities.."
"No... does that make sense? Just a few villains?"
"....well."
Actually, I don't know the details either..
In the original work, it is briefly mentioned that something like this happened in the world while Stardust was wandering..
Anyway, what is certain is that starting from this incident, not only the Republic of Korea but also the international community is slowly going crazy..
From now on, the power balance starts to break down, and more and more ignorantly strong villains start to appear..
Well, anyway, Brazil's territory has been destroyed. The people are alive, so we'll set up a new government and get on with it somehow..
Anyway, the important thing is.
This means that, starting with this incident, terrorism on an international scale will occur more and more frequently..
Until now, national heroes only had to deal with their own villains, but now they must also prevent villains from other countries from invading. In some ways, this can be seen as a problem with globalization..
"So, perhaps international terrorism will gradually increase from now on.."
We have to stop that.
I swallowed those words.
I'm still a bit hesitant to say anything at this point. I have never openly told anyone about my plans until now, and I am afraid that I will feel responsible for no reason..
Honestly, it's a bit funny that the Villain Alliance does this. Discipline may become lax. Actually, it's already lax, but anyway.
Still, when I saw everyone looking at the TV with worried eyes, I felt like I had to do something about it myself..
...Honestly, you shouldn't go for the oil and heat waste as in the original. If things continue like this, our country will be destroyed just like Brazil..
In other words, Ego Stream's role will grow even greater among the numerous international villain alliances that will begin to fight against each other in the future..
The world will become chaotic, and in the end, what matters is power and information..
This means that the international situation can change significantly depending on how many powerful people a country has and the interests of different villain alliances..
I think this was the simultaneous attack on the world's oceans by an underwater terrorist organization called Latis..
For your information, the reason they are called an underwater terrorist organization is not for any other reason, but because the actual organization headquarters is located somewhere in the deep sea..
Ha, I guess I'll have to prepare this slowly again..
So slowly I started to worry.
How to approach...
And after thinking about that,.
Time literally flew by..
***
[The Brazilian provisional government was established. This provisional government, which regards national recovery as its primary goal, has expressed its ambition to run the country again from the beginning. In response, people around the world offered words of support....]
"Phew... I think things are finally settled now.."
The president of the association muttered as he wiped the sweat from his forehead..
Brazil's crisis lasts several weeks.
Finally, the last villain who brought down Brazil was eliminated by the United States, and a new Brazilian government was established..
The situation has calmed down to some extent..
"Fortunately, the. Now I can finally sleep. But Icicle... what are you doing??"
"wait a minute. I need to buy at least one more before the stock market crash ends.."
"....You live a very busy life too."
Since Lee Seol-ah is the head of a large corporation and has a lot of credit for connecting other countries, corporations, and various governments, Shadow Walker just nods and understands whatever she does..
Ignoring Seol-ah Lee, who was interested in the overseas company's bargain, Shadow Walker spoke to Stadus..
"Stardust, why don’t you close your eyes now? You haven't slept much these days.."
"uh? Uh... I guess so.."
Shin Haru, who was sitting with tired eyes, nodded quietly..
The incident in Brazil caused fear throughout the country, and many heroes, including Stardust, were forced to keep vigil as security became quite imperfect..
However, the situation has now officially calmed down to some extent, and prices and public security are gradually stabilizing. It is only natural that this emergency response is now in the process of being demobilized..
The president of the association is happy with tears in his eyes as he says he has returned to his daily life, Lee Seol-ah is smiling and muttering that he will survive, and the shadow walker has already started to sleep peacefully in his chair with his eyes closed..
In the middle of the association conference room, where the tension was so relaxed, Starthers. Shinharu was the only one feeling uneasy about something..
...I think something bigger is coming.
I'm not sure what it is, but it's something that will directly affect us too..
