A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 235
ep.238
Seo Eun.
She is in charge of information communication and hacking at Egostream and is responsible for creating all kinds of tools..
Now he's just the cute youngest member of our Egostream, but he was quite different in the original..
From the beginning, his image was that of a very cold and cynical villain. He was quite tall, and his silver hair was long, unlike now, when it is short..
As her first appearance in the original was several years later, her appearance as an adult was unstoppable. Her hacking skills have already reached their peak, so she can break through the security of the villain camp and cause a major prison break. She shows up with dozens of weapons in tow..
In particular, the great prison break event may have felt like an All-Star Game to readers, with all the villains who appeared in the original work appearing once again, but it was just a disaster for Stardust, which had to deal with it all..
...Of course, the current Seo-eun is very different from her gloomy appearance in the original work..
"huh? Brother, why are you like this??"
"uh. Nothing. Well made."
"lol."
When I said that and patted her head, Seo-eun smiled brightly without even realizing it..
...Oh right. He told me not to do this just now..
But, it doesn't matter because I like it without saying anything now..
While thinking that, I looked up at the huge combat weapon that Seoeun had made..
A huge white robot with a smooth surface that reflects and shines. What Seoeun called Star Conqueror.
okay. This, which Seoeun introduced to me as if she was proud, was the beginning of my worries..
...This is very similar to the weapon that Seo-eun, who was an S-class villain in the original work, sent into battle..
Of course, it was a little different from the original. The original had a slightly neater finish, was larger, and had more functions than this. There were several units that were successfully mass-produced..
Still, the overall appearance was exactly the same, so something felt a little strange. It was amazing that they had already made it in the first place. Unlike the original, Seo-eun is in a better mood, and maybe it's because she has her Egostream colleagues. It feels even smarter than the original. Is there still room for further growth?.
"Brother, what's going on??"
When I was looking up at the robot and thinking quietly.
Seo-eun must have felt something strange about me looking like that, as she grabbed my clothes and asked me with a worried look..
....okay.
The current Seo-eun is different from the original Seo-eun, so there is nothing to worry about. Because unlike back then, I have a family. Seo-eun and I have been together for three years already. It's different from the original, it's different from the original.
So I smiled slightly at Seo-eun and told her as if nothing had happened..
"Oh, it's no big deal. For a moment, I thought of something else. Now, can you introduce me to this??"
"yes Brother, look at this. I made this together with Sehee...."
Following Seo-eun, who was so excited, I approached the aircraft..
...No, really, the more I look at it, the more fascinating it gets. How on earth do you make something like this?.
Anyway, I nodded and cheered for Seo-eun, who was confident that she could beat Stardust at this level..
...In the original work, the robot created by Seo-eun was eventually destroyed by Stardust. Well, let's pretend not to know..
And a few days after being introduced to Seo-eun's weapon,.
"Ah, it's already so late?"
I looked at the calendar and suddenly said:.
...The day when the Villain Conference Catedal was held was approaching soon..
***
My room located on one side of the mansion.
As I sat there at the desk, I was deep in thought..
"hmm..."
Talk. Talk.
[Recently, French S-class villain Morte has been appearing in the UK, causing fear in European society. Morte is a member of Europe's largest villain organization, and it has been revealed that she is hiding somewhere in England with a declaration of war that she will 'destroy the power source of the machine kingdom of England'. Accordingly, the French association announced that it would not provide any help to the UK, causing great controversy... The British association expressed great displeasure and used the strong expression 'idiots', warning that the relationship between the two countries would deteriorate....]
Meanwhile, a video showing the world situation is being displayed on the monitor..
There, even today, other countries were being shown in a dynamic manner..
".....hmm."
And what I'm focusing on while watching that is not the other villains..
In particular, they were keeping an eye on cases where villains from other countries were invading their country..
okay. This situation occurs frequently in the latter half of the original work..
As the world became a mess, the number of villains who got tired of their own country and went to other countries to cause trouble began to increase..
And this is a very difficult case for me..
No, due to the butterfly effect, what should I do if a villain from another country I don't know at all invades my country? Even so, Korea is already full of villains, so if villains from other countries are also dropped, we can't handle it..
...of course.
I guess that's why I regularly participate in Catedal meetings. There, they do meaningful things and expand their influence, preventing the invasion of villains from other countries to some extent..
But somehow, I feel like this alone is not enough.
"..."
Click. Click.
I pressed the tip of a ballpoint pen and was lost in thought..
okay.
Considering not only Moonlight Gate but also the final half, this is not enough. Especially at that point, a true ‘international threat’ finally arrives, and other countries begin to fight each other. Because of you, people say that our country is ruined or something, and even a war breaks out. It's hard to fight with villains, but fighting with heroes is like shit..
And what's even scarier is that our country is no exception. Especially after the Moonlight Incident..
So, what I am thinking about right now is one thing..
'I guess... it would be right to unite with other countries as well..'
Especially with neighboring countries.
Well, Japan already had a fairly close relationship with the powerful Katana. Because we talked together last time. I think we all complained to each other about how difficult it was to run an organization. Also, Katana is on good terms with Lee Seol-ah..
But I still feel like it's not enough.
"Hmm..."
okay. There's only one thing I'm thinking about right now.
"How do I do this... if I do it well?."
Wouldn’t it be possible to create an East Asian villain alliance??
I was planning something like that..
If the international society is in disarray and associations are at odds, shouldn't even the villains unite? Especially considering the chaos ahead..
With that in mind, I looked at the map..
Then, in the end, we have to lure the villain from that continent....
"It's Li Xiaopeng...."
He is the head of China's largest villain organization, Fire Dragon, and a villain with the ability to summon an oriental dragon made of fiery flames..
Roughly speaking, what should I do with him?...
"Hmm..."
When I was racking my brain dreaming of Asia's largest villain union gathering..
At that moment, my story was appearing in the video that was displayed on the monitor..
[yes. This is the news we are going to tell you this time! There is news that Korea's A-level villain Egostick has been named among the top 100 villains in the world....]
"...?"
I raised my head to hear something that came out of nowhere..
What a villain ranking. There was a ranking for villains in the first place.?
[It is said that this is almost the first of the weak-armed villains. In particular, during the selection process, the main factors were that 'Heroes are difficult to deal with due to the support of the public' and 'The fact that numerous and stronger villains follow under his command due to his unique friendliness and leadership.' It is said that this is the first time in the last 10 years that a Korean villain has been named in the HVC rankings....]
Oh, is it there?.
It was only when I heard the name that I remembered it, HVC. It is the world's largest hero-villain research institute and announces rankings every year. Since the association classifies all heroes and villains as S-class if they exceed a certain standard, it was launched with the intention of dividing the strength of their abilities in detail..
The reason I know about this place is of course because of Stardust..
In the original work, Stardust was not even included in the hero rankings of HVC or something, so there was a time when he was attacked for that..
Of course now? Of course, it's been a long time since my name was listed in the rankings. That also came up quite a while ago. I was very proud at that time. Even though it's unofficial, doesn't that mean that Stardus has been recognized in a place with its own authority?.
But I didn't know that they even ranked villains here. Does this have any impact? No, in the first place, I was only ranked A in the association. Well, that's true of Stardust too..
I did a search with that thought in mind..
...Oh, I guess there are quite a few. As soon as I searched, all I could find was that I was ranked there..
The overall ranking that appears as a result of that search.
Of these, I was ranked 50th, which was my first time entering the rankings, so I was on the witty side..
"....?"
No, didn't you say it wasn't in the rankings at all before that? It's higher than I thought?
With that in mind, I got bored and looked through the entire villain rankings..
1Above, of course, is Celeste. She is the head of Catedal....
It looked like a katana and Li Xiaofeng were positioned above me. Of course, the katana is ranked high because it has Japan now. They say the ranking itself is based on influence and risk..
Other villains in our country are not visible. Well, if the Moonlight Bridge coincides soon, it seems like it will arrive in an instant....
As a result, after looking at this, I came to the conclusion that there are many people in the world with truly crazy abilities. Most of them are in the US, but what kind of villain has the ability to explode volcanoes?.
"What fun..."
I took it lightly and passed it off. Well, what does it matter whether I'm 50th or 500th? It's not official from the association anyway..
...okay. I didn't know at the time.
The impact this will cause.
