A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 232
ep.235
Power in the Republic of Korea is divided into two axes..
A strong central government with legislative, judicial, and executive powers all united.
A de facto extraterritorial association that commands the heroes who are in charge of the nation's armed forces. These two are the centers of power.
And the highest leader of the association and the longest-serving president in Korea, Park Joon-ho..
The president's office on the top floor of the Korean Association's headquarters.
"...."
The president of the association was scratching his empty head and looking under the desk with a serious expression..
"hmm...."
After a long period of consideration, he decided.
The president of the association soon called his secretary into his room with a stern look on his face..
"secretary."
"yes. President of the Association."
He spoke with a serious face to the secretary who came in..
"....Today's lunch. With jjajangmyeon, don’t do it."
Jjambbong or Jajangmyeon, that was the question, but he decided to eat Jjajangmyeon today..
It was a wise conclusion that came after a long period of consideration..
So he enjoyed the Jjajangmyeon that was delivered to him..
Immediately, I stroked my stomach and yawned for a moment..
"Hmm... it's peaceful.."
The president of the association sat down on the sofa in his room and muttered:.
...Actually, Korea wasn't very peaceful, but most people didn't have any major problems because Stardust tore everything up the moment they reported to him. In addition, the ego-stick villain sometimes catches other villains on his own, making it even more annoying..
Of course, the mere appearance of a villain makes the media excited, but these days, the media is also a bit quiet. In addition, the president, who had been harassing him on a regular basis, had his approval ratings plummet due to the missile launch at Stardust, and he eventually retired, leaving a very peaceful situation..
Since then, the government has taken care of itself, and the heroes have been able to catch villains on their own, so the president of the association can just do his job well. Of course, when the demon king-type villain called Demons appeared, I thought the country was truly ruined, but I'm glad we managed to get over it..
Still, nothing on that scale has happened since then, so the president of the association was very satisfied. I started to doze off in my chair, using the sound of the TV coming from one side as white noise..
And just before he fell into sleep.
"President of the Association, we are in big trouble.!"
"Uhm? Write it, keuhm. Umm, what's going on??"
"Right now, something big has appeared in the sky in eastern Seoul.!"
...Until the secretary came running in with an urgent look on his face..
And just in time, an on-site video appears on TV with the sign LIVE..
[Breaking news! Right now, something in the shape of a large disk has appeared in one corner of downtown Seoul, making it a hot topic! This thing, which looks like a portal from a game, is currently floating peacefully... Ugh! The moment I said that, something jumped out.!]
Something strange, mixing black and purple, floating against the background of the blue sky..
Watching a strange-looking monster fall down.
The president of the association hit his head without realizing it..
"...Starders, call me. Right Now."
...I guess it would be wrong to quit today..
***
peaceful lunch.
There I was, sitting in the living room, watching TV with concentration..
"...."
[yes First of all, its appearance appears to match the so-called 'portal' discovered in France. Currently, the monster that has emerged from here is engaged in a fierce battle with nearby B-class heroes....]
A circular dimensional gap that looks like dark blue-purple smoke is visible behind the anchor who is busy explaining. aka gate.
That one was probably opened by the Moonlight Church as a test..
"...It's a bit fast."
And as I looked at it, I muttered without even realizing it..
They prepare faster than the original. I remember it was a few months later that the first gate in Korea was opened for testing, but I can't believe it has already opened..
Probably, the Moonlight Church is conducting research much faster than the original work..
That's what I thought as I saw the black rotating gate emitting ominous energy in the air..
[yes Stardust has just finally arrived, and has blown away the monster with one blow! uh...! As I speak, the portal appears to be disappearing..]
And on the other side of the screen, after the arrival of a person who appears to be Stardust from the sky,.
The gate quietly disappeared in the air, as if it had caught a monster..
...As you can see, most of the monsters that come out of that gate are weaker than you think. Even B-class heroes can endure and fight, and even Stardust can be dealt with with a few punches..
But the problem is that thousands or tens of thousands of these will be created across the country in the future. at the same time.
"....."
Moonlight Church's gate technique is more subtle and vicious than you think..
Since they are aiming for the complete destruction of all mankind, their goal is the destruction of mankind. Therefore, they created a certain code for the gate where the monsters come out and the magic that opens it..
The more populated a place is, the more likely it is that the gate will open..
In other words, the probability of a gate being created in large cities or other places increases significantly. The rituals themselves mostly occur in places with the 'largest' population compared to the region, and have a differential structure. In other words, it is viciously organized to produce as many victims as possible..
There is a reason why most countries collapsed after the Moonlight Bridge incident and the genre changed to become almost apocalyptic. Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of monsters with class B abilities attack the city at once? No matter which hero you bring, it is difficult to protect everyone. Most of the time.
In particular, because Korea is the home of Moonlight Bridge, the population is small, perhaps because of the home team bonus, but there are more gates that appear than in other countries. In other words, it just means that it is on the verge of destruction. Either Lee Seol-ah gathered people into the shelter and Starders fought in tears, or it was just a massacre ending. Even Shadow Walker attacks can't block anything, but I've said everything..
Additionally, this gate does not just appear and disappear on the day an incident occurs, but continues to appear in a new location every week or month. It's safe to think of it as unlimited refills for monsters..
in other words. As everyone has said, it is no exaggeration to say that this Moonlight Bridge event divides the before and after of the original cartoon. If it was a devastated hero story before, then it's just apocalyptic ruins? The government is ruined in the first place. The association becomes the provisional government.
'....of course.'
I have no intention of letting this world go on like that..
What, impoverished? I've gone through all this trouble so far to keep Stardust from being devastated, are you telling me to give up? Is that possible? That is why we have made every preparation to prevent this event. From Eunwol’s recruitment to PMC training.
Moonlight Church Leader and Moonlight Church. Although they are based in Korea, they have their headquarters located somewhere in the interdimensional space. Therefore, those who are not members of the Moonlight Church cannot go there even if they want to. If you go there, you will just become a lost child in another dimension. Me too.
...Of course, you might be able to do it if you try..
By overworking Eunwol and borrowing the power of the Vine Witch, there may be some risk, but if you're lucky, you can destroy it and enter..
But, it doesn't have to be that way..
Even if the Moonlight Church did not use the correct magic to open the gate anyway, the original setting showed that the dimensional gap was already weakening. In other words, even if the Moonlight Cult Master does not open it now, the other dimension will open at some point and monsters will pour out. In other words, it would be better to know what to do rather than to get hit randomly without knowing the timing..
There.
"....."
According to my way of thinking, Moonlight Bridge is essential to prevent this incident..
So for now, I have no choice but to wait for that day..
"...There really isn't much left."
I muttered that without even realizing it..
When I first planned it, I was relieved because it was 5 years away, but somehow it ended up right before my eyes.?
Of course, Stardust has become so powerful that it's overflowing, and I've gathered all of them in Ego Stream and Ego Squad, but... um, is that it?.
'...okay. If we just get over this disaster, I'll still be able to take a breather.'
If I want to retire and do that, it's important to get over this disaster safely..
Of course, I had a good plan to some extent....
Still, it is impossible to prevent a certain level of monsters from spreading throughout Korea. Although it may not be tens of thousands like in the original, at least a few hundred will continue to appear periodically. There is a certain amount of risk.
A PMC was formed for this purpose, but of course it is not enough..
A situation that requires national preparedness.
Of course, it doesn't matter because the government has a powerful figure, Lee Seol-ah, but the problem is the association that oversees the armed forces. Only with their cooperation can we make perfect preparations..
okay.
To do that, I decided.
"I'll go to the association tomorrow.."
"...huh?"
"yes?"
dinner time.
At the place where everyone gathered, I declared.
I'm going to visit the association..
"....Da-in oppa, Seo, are you really going to turn yourself in?..?"
"...What are you talking about? Of course not."
"ah! Oppa, no way, Stardust..."
"I don't know what it is, but no.."
I evoked the suddenly strange atmosphere at the table and got straight to the point..
"Tomorrow, I will meet the president of the association.."
"...yes?"
***
"...My head hurts..."
Morning, Association President's Office on the top floor of the Association.
The president of the association muttered as he scratched his head and looked down at the paper..
"What kind of guy's portal is a portal... Ugh, maybe they should name him S-Class Villain Portal Maker?."
Regarding the portal phenomenon that first occurred in France and what happened in Korea, it is assumed that a villain with that ability has entered Korea..
Behind the head of the association, who was racking his brains to reveal his identity..
Suddenly, I heard a man's voice..
"Hello, President of the Association."
"...hmm? who is?"
When I looked up to see who had come, the door in front was still tightly closed..
...Only then did the president of the association realize that the voice had come from behind..
As soon as he noticed that fact, the head of the association turned his back..
"nice to see you. It's ego stick."
A man in familiar clothes, half masked and wearing a black hat..
Ego Stick was standing there with the corners of his mouth raised..
...The president of the association almost fainted..
