A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 159
Episode 159
Flower table
under a huge chandelier.
Around a large round table, villains more powerful than anyone else from all over the world were sitting around..
And I, weak as ever, sat in the gap..
yes.
'....'
Unlike me, who only gathered strong people by my side and whose abilities themselves are nothing special, each and every one of those gathered here are bastards who can destroy the country with their own abilities. If we were to look at individual strength alone, I would probably be the weakest among them.?
Of course, my main ability is not force..
Perhaps the biggest difference between me, the weakest among them, and others is that I know the future..
That's all. I know everything that can never be known, such as the weaknesses, personalities, and secrets of each hero and villain. Like the creator of this world.
And this one difference makes me, who is weaker than them in all other respects, equal or better than them..
With that thought in mind, I glanced at the villains around me..
Atlas sitting right next to me. And some villains sitting to the side. From an old gentleman wearing a monocle to a crazy scientist with green hair wearing twirling glasses with an oxygen tank attached to his back..
...All of them are famous among villains that I know well..
And to my left and across from me.
They are all characters that were illustrated once in the original cartoon..
From that gangster with red mohawk hair to a woman with black ponytails wearing a Japanese Yakuza outfit and carrying a sword. And on the other side sat a man with braided hair wearing a red Chinese gi..
In addition, there are numerous powerful villains everywhere..
As expected, I just think it was a good thing I came here..
These villains are all gathered together, and unlike the original, they say, 'We're bored, should we all attack Korea together?' The moment you do that, it literally kills you. Of course, I can prevent it if I take care of it, but it is natural that the damage will be severe in the process..
In other words, in order to prevent that division from spreading, you have to sit here like this and protect it like a totem..
Because this is something that only I, a villain, can do that heroes like Stardust cannot do..
Of course, for that to happen, I also need to secure a certain amount of influence..
....But I'll think about that later and just look at them for now..
With that in mind, I observed the Yakuza and the Chinese I saw earlier closely..
"...."
A man with ponytails covering his forehead.
That person in the red uniform is Li Xiaopeng, the continent's greatest villain who even the Chinese government is paying attention to..
Looking at him with his strong eyebrows that gave off some kind of spirit, I thought about him again..
He is the leader of China's largest criminal organization, Fire Dragon, also known as Fire Dragon, and has the incredible ability to summon a dragon. There is a saying that everyone trembles when a flame dragon with a long beard appears. Of course, I don't know if it's a real dragon... but he's a very influential figure in China..
And the woman with black ponytails sitting on the other side is Katana, the head of the largest Japanese Akusa organization. Her characteristic feature is her swordsmanship that can be called divine, and despite her delicate face, she is a woman who is rumored to not only be able to take on hundreds of people alone, but can even cut down buildings. She's actually true too.
Among the many villains, the ones I paid the most attention to were these two..
As he is the most well-known villain in the two countries right next to Korea, I need to pay some attention to them. Of course, I'm not saying I'll touch it now, but later. There's plenty of time anyway.
When I'm thinking like that.
thud-
The chandelier lights up.
"...Are we starting?."
Atlas sitting next to me muttered quietly, and at the same time, a woman dressed like a white saint sitting in the middle opened her mouth..
"Nice to meet you, brothers and sisters.."
Her clear voice echoes across the round table. No, it's a voice that goes beyond pure and sounds almost divine. In that heavenly voice, she continued her words.
"I'm Celeste. Thank you again to everyone who responded to my invitation.."
As she said that, she lowered her head slightly with her white hair hanging down..
At the same time, all eyes were on her..
And of course I am no exception..
It's hard to see because of the white veil covering her face, but if you look closely, you can see her closed eyes. And the mysterious and holy atmosphere emanating from the body..
As expected, Celeste is the same as mentioned in the original work..
Under everyone's gaze, Celeste calmly opened her mouth..
"The reason I invited you all here today is simply with the idea of getting to know each other and uniting together. everyone."
With that, she waved her hand and created something that seemed to be made of magic in the center of the round table..
Soon, the illusion of a building appeared on the round table..
It appears to be the International Hero Association headquarters building..
"The attacks from our enemies, the Association, are becoming increasingly fierce. Additionally, the international situation is also very volatile. Therefore, I have gathered here with you who are special among all people. Wouldn't it be great if the leaders, each of whom could control a country, a continent, or even a city, gathered together to talk about the flow of the situation and share information??"
As her words continued, the figures of heroes who had been praised as powerful until now - but who were the main enemies from the villain's point of view - appeared one after another on the round table. Fortunately, there was no Stardust. Um, yeah. It's not good to stand out in a place like this..
Anyway, after saying those words, she held out her hand once more, and all the images on the round table disappeared..
Soon Celeste. She asked us again calmly.
"...so. What do you all think? Of course, I guarantee your safety when we gather here. I just have a pure heart that I wish we could stand together in solidarity. I will also interact with you as an equal member. Is there anyone who is against it??"
"...hmm."
"hmm."
"Wow."
Well, no one objected. You don't want to stand in front of Celeste, who is rumored to be able to kill you instantly with just a wave of her hand..
...However, even though I knew it in advance because of the original work, I really can't get used to this calm and static atmosphere. Isn't it normal for villains to gather together and quickly pick on each other over trivial things and fight? Everyone is quiet, like obedient elementary school students.
Of course, that didn't mean I was going to come forward, so I just stayed quiet..
what. Maybe it's because I didn't translate properly, but Celeste must have sounded overbearing..
"great. So then... let's get started.."
And so she ends her words.
Finally, the meeting began.
***
S-class villain.
The association has different standards for grading heroes and villains, so unlike the relatively small number of S-class heroes, there are a lot of S-class villains. First of all, there are two S-class villains in our Egostream..
As such, not all S-class villains are the same S-class villains..
From those who barely fit into the S-class villain line, to the S-class above whose abilities are fundamentally different from theirs. Even within the same S class, it can be seen that there is a de facto hierarchy..
And these are the strongest among S-class villains..
Not only are they strong in ability, but they are also basically very intelligent people, as can be seen from the fact that they are leading their own organizations. In short, the association's highest priority is the main enemy of humanity itself..
...Right now, they were gathered together and talking to each other. How terrifying and terrible is this?.
"...My name is Katana. Running the Three Gorges Sect in Japan."
She said up to that point and kept her mouth shut..
Well, that's the end of the introduction. Simply state your name and which country you lead the organization in..
It felt strangely familiar rather than scary and terrifying, but since it was like this in the original, I decided to just skip it..
Anyway, whether I thought that or not, the statement continued calmly..
"Heikin is the leader of Germany's most powerful gang, Red Motors. Everyone seems to be weaker than me, take care.."
...Of course, there were idiots like that..
When I looked at someone, it turned out to be a man with very intense red mohawk hair..
For reference, the other villains' reactions to his provocation were just ignored..
Everyone had such unimpressed expressions that one wondered where a dog was barking. Well, of course, the weaker a guy like that is. And I don't know about others, but for your information, that guy dies in 3 months. It comes from the original.
Everyone took turns saying something, except for the strange guy who popped out every now and then..
"haha! I am Atlas, the master of Latisdan and the ruler of the North Atlantic. Well, nice to meet you.!"
After Atlas greeted me warmly, it was my turn..
Well, I didn't really intend to show off from our first meeting, so I decided to just say hello normally. You have to take control little by little, nothing can be done if you start from the beginning..
So I quietly opened my mouth.
"Nice to meet you all. My name is Ego Stick and I run a villain association called Ego Stream in Korea. everyone.."
"for a moment."
As I was speaking with a slight smile, someone interrupted me. what?
I looked at it with someone, and there was the red guy with the mohawk hair from before, looking in our direction and smiling wildly..
"I know you. Isn’t it ego stick? Korea's famous... A-level villain."
As I watched him say that with one corner of his mouth turned up at me, I smiled and thought quietly..
...hmm. Are you going to fight??
...It looks like someone has to be involved from day one..
