A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 270
ep.273
Shinharu, Starders.
She was currently having a very bad experience..
".....Ugh."
Where did it go wrong?.
...When the long battle ended, I thought it would all be over. But what is the problem? Against the Moonlight Cult leader, did you let your guard down at the end? no. It wasn't something that could be avoided by avoiding it. Because it was an attack that even her super senses couldn't predict..
In the end this was the result.
At that moment, I was hit by something that attacked me, and I felt like I was falling over a curtain. Just plop down.
So, she was currently holding her head, which was throbbing like crazy somewhere out of sight, and trying to prevent her body from bouncing around as best as she could. Feeling like I'm in a whirlpool. Round and round, round and round, my body shakes.
Within.
"Hehehe!"
She was finally able to touch the ground.
"haha. Write... haha."
After a long time of gathering myself together,.
Finally, Stardust. When she opened her eyes and looked ahead of her.
What unfolded before her eyes.
"...?"
It was a world made up of ruins, where everything had collapsed..
"what..? this..."
Starthers muttered that in a trembling voice without realizing it..
Under the red sky, an endless ghost town.
Although they were fighting in Seoul, which was almost half destroyed by monsters just a moment ago, it was definitely not to this extent. Here, dust is flying as if nearby buildings had already collapsed a long time ago..
In such an ominous feeling.
"ha...!"
She flew up into the sky with great difficulty, and flew for a long time in search of people or cities..
After some time had passed and I had been wandering around for a while, I had no choice but to admit it..
...No matter where you go, there are no traces of people. A world filled with nothing but destroyed cities.
When I intuitively felt it.
'Is this a different world from the original?..?'
she thought so.
The Moonlight Cult Master deals with dimensions... If I were to guess from what he said... isn't this a world somewhere in another dimension that was destroyed?.
She thought about such ominous thoughts, but then shook her head..
No. It could be a hallucination. Such a ridiculous thing could have happened...
"...."
And her thoughts stopped when she saw a sign she came across while walking without stopping..
"...New Seoul?"
The words “New Seoul” written on a green sign, as if it was a sign on the road..
...When she heard those words for the first time in her life, she felt something was wrong..
I guess.
This is definitely not the world he knew..
***
How long did we wander the world under that red sky?.
Among the remaining buildings, she was able to obtain some information..
Things like computers were already damaged and there was no electricity, so there was a problem that all we could trust were torn newspapers and books... but that doesn't mean we didn't learn something..
"...."
First of all, the year in this world is a few years from now..
That is, it has been quite some time..
...So does that mean you came to the future?.
The future is changing so terribly?
...No, I don't think that's it..
"...."
Inside the half-collapsed building.
...Perhaps, in the ruins of what was originally called a library. She searched through the burning wreckage and found some other information..
As you can see on the sign outside, this place is called New Seoul, not Seoul..
And when was this new Seoul completed?.
"...After the moonlight shaman's storm collapsed Seoul, Lee Seol-ah, the chairman of Yuseong Enterprises, rebuilt the collapsed capital.."
....What on earth does this mean?.
Under the red sky, under the scarlet light that comes through the windows of the collapsed building like a sunset..
Facing the chilly wind coming through the cracked crack, she stood looking down at the paper, thought for a while, and then muttered:.
"I'm sure Seoul would have been blocked by Ego Stick at that time...."
okay.
Moonlight shaman. A girl with black hair who wears a white shrine maiden outfit that Egostick has as a friend..
It is true that she attacked Seoul by creating a pink storm, and that she, Shadow Walker, and Icicle were unable to stop it... but then Egostick appeared and persuaded the shaman to take her away, so Seoul was safe..
...At that time, I also remember Ego Stick patting my head and saying thank you for your hard work..
Anyway, I vividly remember the Moonlight Shaman terrorist incident as if it happened yesterday..
That's why she couldn't even understand what was written in this book..
At that time, Seoul was definitely protected without any major damage, but it was destroyed. What does this mean?.
...There is nothing more we can know if we continue to hold on to this meaningless information..
Let's go to another area and do more research..
With that thought in mind, she flew into the sky again and began searching among the ruins for anything that could give her information..
Soon after that, she was able to obtain quite a bit of information..
In particular, information about the past that clearly went differently from her world..
[[Breaking News] The S-class villain 'Saint Petrius', aka Death Knight, who collapsed 4 cities, has finally been arrested. VK Corporation is currently being investigated as it is known to be deeply involved..
...Death Knight, an A-class villain who belonged to Egostream and had no record of fighting anyone other than himself, was somehow recorded as an S-class villain who killed hundreds of people..
[The North Atlantic villain organization Latis forces a global invasion... South Korea loses 15% of its territory. ‘It was a good performance at this level,’ Jahoeja praised his opinion..]
Latis, led by Atlas, an S-class villain who clearly did not attack Korea, appears to have attacked Korea..
So she searched more and more newspapers and books that were scattered in the rubble, trying to find information somehow..
How much time has passed in the end?.
"haha..."
Finally, perhaps because she followed her intuition, she found what looked like a collapsed bookstore..
She went into the place buried under the rubble underground and took out things like current affairs magazines and news that were in pretty good condition in the warehouse..
"ha..."
After sitting on a nearby rock and sighing and flipping through them,.
Soon, I was able to find quite a few differences between this world and the original world by year..
"...."
This world.
It was a much crueler world than the world she was in..
A world where thousands of people die on average every month, the villains are much stronger, and it is even more strange for the country to survive..
[S-class villain Rhino commits another serial murder attack... All dozens of victims die]
[[1[Next] S-class villain Weapon Master invades Seoul with a large-scale murder robot. Although the association said, ‘Run to a safe place immediately,’... a lack of response was pointed out. Hundreds of dead in just one hour... Civilian anxiety surges as Weapon Master warns of future invasion.]
[How can we stop the Demon Castle and Demons of the Demon World, which occupy 30% of New Seoul? Experts say 'research is underway, but there doesn't seem to be a clear solution'...']
[S-class villain Screammaker terror attack is already 53 this month... Opposition lawmaker is criticized for saying, 'Thousands of our citizens have already been killed by this guy, but isn't the president playing golf and arguing?'...]
Rhino was a villain with an obscure name who killed dozens of people during one terrorist attack..
Unlike the original, the Demons she fought conquered almost half of the capital with their black tentacles, and the Weapon Master and Screammaker that Egostick killed survived and killed thousands of people..
And this is the case only when considering high-ranking villains who committed major terrorist attacks..
All of the minor villains she had easily apprehended were, for some reason, continuing their terrorist activities in this world without being caught..
Are the villains of this world stronger than the villains of the world she was in?.
or not...
Was she in this world much weaker than she is now?.
[A-Class Hero Starders' national preference is the worst ever... unfavorable at '90%'. The number one reason is incompetence... The prevailing opinion is that he is a 'hero who watched people die'.]
"...."
Seeing a large red ... She said she was weak, the world could end up like this..
But more than this.
There was something that bothered her the most and something she didn't understand the most..
That's right.
'...Where is the ego stick??'
okay.
Her archenemy and A-level villain. Where on earth is Ego Stick, who should have founded the terrorist organization Ego Stream?.
To answer that question, she searched all kinds of information, but couldn't find a person named Egostick anywhere. Even though there are quite a few other villains in this world, only Egostick is invisible..
I even looked for other villains to see if they had changed their names, but I couldn't find Ego Stick..
[Applications for immigration to Korea skyrocket... Korea collapsed due to the White Witch's great prison escape. Where is the next path?.]
We even found the growth of Egostick's hacker girl just a few years from this world's point of view, that is, a few years after the original world... but Egostick's appearance was still nowhere to be seen..
...What on earth happened?.
Maybe in this world... um. Could it have been his colleague? haha. Isn’t that possible?.
With that in mind, she came out..
"....ha."
Then I see the still red sky and the collapsed city.
...It was difficult to gauge the time axis because neither the sun nor the moon was visible. I could easily realize that I lacked stamina, perhaps because I hadn't eaten since I came here..
...And I wasn't conscious of it until now... but is there a way to return to my original world?.
Let's find something first. If you get out of here, you might find a place where people live. The latest issue of the newspaper says that Busan has been appointed as the new capital..
With that thought in mind, she led her exhausted body and flew over the destroyed world once again..
okay. she continued to fly.
"....uh?"
Meanwhile, in a place like a garbage dump where buildings had collapsed and piled up,.
Until I found the ‘person’ I had seen for the first time in this world, standing at the top with my back turned..
"hey!"
She said that as she flew towards it, feeling happy to see it without even realizing it..
And it was only when I got closer that I noticed something strange..
"uh..?"
A woman with long blonde hair, wearing a dull red and blue latex suit, standing on top of the tower of an abandoned building..
And the dangerous aura felt around her..
and.
"...what."
...The moment she turned her head to her own voice.
Starders, Shin Haru almost took his breath away for a moment..
...It's definitely more mature than it is now, and it looks somewhat tired but sharp..
That's definitely.
"...me?"
Starthers muttered without even realizing it..
"...What is this again?."
The words of a woman with such a murky voice... But upon hearing that voice that was unmistakably his own, Stadus fell into even greater confusion..
It was the moment she met Stardust in this world for the first time..
