A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 242
ep.245
[Stardust attacks! yes One shot! Villain Seven Watts was defeated in one hit! The city is safe, everyone.!]
"hmm..."
-widely.
I paused the image on the screen and thought for a moment..
Just yesterday's news broadcast.
Also, as usual, a villain appeared in the middle of downtown Seoul, a guy named Seven Watt wearing a yellow jumpsuit..
...And the news showed Stardus defeating that guy with one punch..
It was cool to see Starthers with his blonde hair flying and his fist raised, but that wasn't the point..
What's important is that Stardust caught that guy, who had a hard time dealing with him in the original, in one hit..
Actually, this isn't just once or twice. In the first place, Stardust has grown a lot compared to the original, even if cities don't burn down periodically at this time..
How much have you grown?
Until the next Moonlight Bridge event, I think I can overcome it..
"....."
I analyzed it carefully..
Wolgwanggyo Gate. The final boss of Phase 2, where portals open all over the world and monsters pour out in waves..
The reason I was always most wary of this event was because it had such a widespread impact. If only Seoul is attacked, monsters will appear all over the country. What can we do to stop this? There is a reason why the original atmosphere changed based on Phase 2..
...of course.
I had a plan. I have a plan to stop this.
But the problem is that it is not easy.
At least, it is assumed that terrorism can be prevented only after it has begun to some extent..
In other words, until then, you will be exposed to attack..
So, isn't that why I built a PMC and told the president of the association to build a bunker? You have to buy time. You'll have to hold on until I execute my plan.
But the problem is probably Seoul..
"...."
In Seoul, all kinds of monsters appear in every city, but since this is where the Moonlight Church opens the main gate, especially strong ones appear. In other words, Stardust will have to deal with these guys in most cases..
The problem is that the gates are open in all directions, so each gate is quite far away..
And in order to prevent that, it is important to fly quickly to a distant location..
"....speedra."
okay.
In short, the ability to fly has become quite important..
Speed that allows you to fly from one end of Seoul to the other in the shortest possible time. You'll need it. If it's too late, the situation may already be over before you arrive..
But the problem is that the current Stardust only has strength, and has nothing to do with speed..
From the beginning, I only had her fight against other strong abilities, and there was never any terror attack to strengthen her flying ability. Of course, it's still fast... but wouldn't Stardust's flying speed in the sky be faster if we stimulate it a little more??
So now, the concept of my next terrorist attack has been decided..
"Anyway, the power is... it's too strong right now.."
I muttered those words while looking at Starthers defeating Seven Watts with one punch..
Actually, it's still not enough. Stardust can and must become stronger from here.
But for now, it seems like it's enough to stop a monster from another dimension..
Anyway, each and every one of them is not strong, but rather bulky....
'I think I can deal with even the most dangerous guy that will jump out of the gate..'
"good."
After thinking about it, I declared to myself:.
The main theme of this terrorist attack is... speed.!
I don't think it would be a bad idea if citizens were involved as well..
Okay, so this is it now....
I decided to make a detailed plan later, so I first looked into what was coming soon..
Moonlight Bridge is the main boss that I am preparing to block step by step, and other than him, there are quite a few villains that need to be defeated in advance..
Especially this guy.
With that in mind, I lifted up the profile of a villain pinned to the printed paper next to the table..
"...."
Write it.
No matter how I look at it, I can't catch this guy on my own..
...And that was the conclusion I came to after thinking about it for a while..
No, I literally can't catch it alone. Not only me, but among all of our Ego Stream members, there is no one who can defeat this guy..
From the beginning, the castle itself was designed so that it could not be defeated by anyone other than Stardust..
Then wouldn't it be okay to just look at Stardust and tell them to take it down... I don't know what to say. The problem is that this guy is a bit strong. It's hard to win with the current Stardust..
...Unless you have someone's help.
"....."
...okay.
Let’s think about this later and think about the immediate terrorist attack first..
Since ancient times, a top-notch villain always puts all his sincerity into planning a terrorist attack. The general public does not know the aesthetics of this terrorism....!
Anyway, I drew up the rough draft by myself..
Within a few days.
Egostream Large Conference Room.
"Haam, oppa. What is it this time??"
A place where everyone gathers around a huge table..
i am there.
In a very serious voice, he told everyone.
"I'm going to drop a missile on Seoul.."
"...yes?"
***
Starders.
She was a serious workaholic. To the extent of dedicating everything to hero activities..
And the problem was that her condition was slowly getting worse..
"....."
And the reason is, of course, because the days without hearing from Ego Stick are getting longer and longer..
She watched the video of herself and Ego Stick fighting so many times that there was nothing else to watch, so she sighed..
"...ha."
...You know it too. It's not normal for a hero to want to see a villain. Wouldn't it be strange for a hero to care about whether a villain is alive or dead?.
So up until now, I've been denying myself.
Now that she's gone through all the things that have happened in the past,.
And crucially, after receiving Egostick’s letter,.
I decided to admit my feelings once and for all..
Just ego stick.
It's because I keep thinking about it in my head..
"...."
...what.
Isn’t it possible for a hero to worry about Archenemy??
In the first place, Ego Stick was also worried about himself, so why couldn't it be the other way around? huh. This is completely natural.
In the first place, he saved his life a few times, so if he doesn't show up, he might get a little anxious, worried, and miss him. That's right. This has nothing to do with him being a villain..
"...What are you saying to yourself?."
As she continued to think like that, she laughed self-deprecatingly without even realizing it. Haru, you finally came to your senses..
'...still.'
..It's just, what should I do when I feel like that?.
Why aren't you coming?.
And when she was lonely all day like that.
"...Dining together?"
I received a call from the association president..
Today, Shadow Walker is coming to the association for the first time in a while, so I thought why not have a company dinner together?.
"Umm...."
If it's a company dinner, there will be alcohol.?
...If I borrow the power of alcohol, will this feeling calm down?.
She thought about that and replied that she understood..
Forgetting that he is weak to alcohol.
***
Dining together.
The Hero Association, which is in charge of public security in Korea, also has company dinners together from time to time as they are office workers..
Of course, there haven't been many events held recently due to incidents, but since Shadow Walker stopped by the association for work, the company dinner was held for the first time in a long time..
At a dinner party attended by Stardust, Shadow Walker, and two A-class heroes..
The president of the association continued to listen to Shadow Walker's complaints..
"It's hard these days, it's hard..."
The name of the man who got drunk alone and his face turned red is Kim Ja-hyun, who is working as an A-class hero. aka shadow walker.
And the blonde woman sitting across from him was Starthers, a fellow A-list hero..
That’s how Kim Ja-hyun’s complaints began in earnest..
The president of the association was anxious to hear what Stardus would say in response..
"...."
I sighed as I saw her silently looking at the beer bottle, probably already drunk or not hearing anything else..
...I guess dealing with drunk customers is his role..
"hmm. Jahyun. Don't be too stressed. Anyway, aren't you doing your job well??"
"President of the Association..."
Soon, the president of the association sat at the head of the table and comforted me..
Kim Ja-hyun slammed the beer he was holding on the floor and muttered..
"What are you good at? These days, there are no villains who carry out terrorist attacks at night. And the villains who sometimes cause terror at night don't even counter me. It seems like his presence as a hero has diminished... The future is just bleak. ha."
After complaining for a while, he started gulping down his beer..
And the president of the association, who was listening to that,.
"....ha."
I sighed as I looked at Stadus next to me, who was silently taking a shot of beer with the same red face..
'You're in big trouble.'
"Ah, damn life. What about in my old days? As soon as I made a gesture, all the villains would be identified and defeated. Ah, where have all the good times gone! Oh my, oh my."
"....."
At that time, the head of the association was pounding as he looked at the shadow walker who was now injecting himself in earnest..
-widely.
On the other side, I heard Stadus place his beer cup loudly on the floor..
"...Starders?"
The president of the association cautiously said that..
Looking at Stadus quietly holding an empty beer cup with his head down..
Only then did the president realize that Starthers had emptied the beer bottle while Shadowwalker continued to speak..
"Are you okay? Stop drinking now..."
And the moment the president of the association spoke so cautiously,.
"why..."
Suddenly, Stardust started mumbling like that..
"Why why..."
She mumbles like that while holding an empty beer glass in her hand..
Then she raised her head and mumbled, crying a little with a red face..
"Why don't you commit terrorism?...."
"ha..."
"Hehehe. What about in my old days? At night, I was a shadow walker... but now, hehe. Even in the questionnaire, she was pushed out by Icicle, Sook-hee...! sorry..!"
"I'm so annoyed... sniffle."
"...."
"Shadowwalker... the boom... is coming..."
"...ha. I'm going crazy."
The president of the association sighed as he looked at the two pillars of the Republic of Korea, Class A heroes, who were sobbing on one side and telling the truth on the other..
...How do I send them both home?.
***
the next morning.
"Ugh... the head."
Stadus got up from his bed at home and barely managed to open his eyes, holding his pounding head without realizing it..
Memories of yesterday that finally come to mind.
'...Why don't you commit terrorism?!'
"I'm crazy... I'm crazy..."
She remembered what happened yesterday and covered her face with her hands..
...New day. You're crazy, you're crazy.
Let's be careful next time...
Feeling a little dizzy, she unconsciously turned on the TV, as was her habit..
Then there.
[hello. It's ego stick!]
"huh..?"
There was an ego stick, as if a broadcast had just been turned on..
Wait, what?..?
Shin Haru came to his senses..
