A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 284
The cathedral where the cathedral takes place.
In this empty room with a round table, the only window is stained glass that shines on its own and cannot be seen outside..
I was alone with Celeste..
'...Hmm, why are you calling us ego sticks? Can I stay with you too??'
'Sorry Atlas. I think it will be difficult because there is a conversation that needs to be shared between just the two of us..'
'ha. I can't do that....'
'Atlas, don't worry, go first. It's not difficult to talk...'
'Uh-huh! still...'
...Atlas, who didn't want to go to the end, and Katana, who was looking at me with worried eyes, finally got away with it..
At the round table everyone looked at us with interest and then left..
I was sitting across from Celeste, shaking my head..
'...Fucked..'
That's what I thought as I looked at Celeste calmly serving me a cup of tea..
After I stopped the Moonlight Bridge incident, I thought there would be some mention of Celeste. I mentioned the existence of gods and dimensions, and during Moonlight Bridge, Eunwol had me use magic and go back and forth to other dimensions..
...But I never thought I'd say so blatantly that I'd like to see you alone..
At Celeste's home ground, where I don't know where she is, I feel like my mouth is dry as I'm with her, who is considered the strongest in the original, without anyone on my side..
of course.
On the outside, he never showed it like that..
Relaxedly, as if I knew why you called me.
I was casually observing Celeste while drinking the tea she served with a smile on my face..
A woman sitting with her white hair flowing down, wearing a saintly-looking saint's garb, and smiling quietly with her eyes closed..
At that time, I was observing her face, which had a mysterious beauty that seemed to draw the viewer in..
Celeste immediately put down her cup and opened her mouth..
"Ego stick. I'm glad you stayed like this.."
"I am truly honored that Celeste invited me. The reason you called me like this..?"
"hmm..."
The moment you closed your eyes for a moment and looked at me with a grin on your face..
hook-
Suddenly, the temperature here felt like it had dropped a few degrees..
Still smiling, but with a distinctly colder aura.
Celeste asked me in a soft voice..
"ego stick."
"How much do you know about God??"
like that.
In a suddenly solemn, cold atmosphere.
"haha."
I just smiled leisurely.
I just answered with a smile, clasping my hands together..
"...I know enough. In the beginning, three gods created this world, and now they have disappeared.."
After saying that, I still smiled brightly and looked in Celeste's direction..
They did it first without being rude, so this should be okay..
Some strange sensation still enveloped my body, but apart from that, I only smiled and made no other response. Yes, try your skills one day. Does it work for me?.
So I held on without even budging..
Then she smiled and spoke to me in her still angelic voice..
"...okay. All right. Then can you tell me how you knew about the existence of gods??"
"Well, I don't know either. I found out by chance."
I smiled and answered like that..
I said it back a bit, but it's the same as saying out loud, "Yes, don't tell me~".
I was smiling so leisurely.
Inside, I was already very nervous and my head was spinning like crazy..
What is the identity of the beautiful, white-haired woman who looks pitiful and smiles with her eyes closed in front of me?.
Celeste. If you had to choose one of the most dangerous villains in the world, he would almost always be ranked first..
She reigns with almost absolute fear in the United States, and is a villain so threatening that not even heroes can touch her raw meat. I don't know how many dozens of abilities I have when others have one, two, or at most three abilities. If you look at her old videos, she's pretty much a walking disaster..
But, that's why.
Instead, I had to play the bullshit. Even in front of her, he smiled confidently, as if he knew some great secret. Like I'm strong like you.
It was quite possible with what I had done so far..
Since she is a follower of the sun god, she probably doesn't know much about the Moonlight Church, which is related to the moon god. And I knew exactly that.
And she watched my reaction quietly with her eyes closed..
He smiled for a moment, then took another cup of tea and opened his mouth to me..
"...okay. All right. I'm calling you today because I have something else to ask you. Well, ego stick.."
"yes."
"I won't ask how you found out about things related to the Moonlight Church. Because everyone has their own secrets.."
Listening to her say that, I paused for a moment..
...What, wasn’t that what you called me to ask? They all came up with excuses..
When I was thinking that.
She opened her mouth with a warm smile and told me.
"However, I want you to know that I would like to continue to cooperate with you in the future. I am not your enemy."
"haha. How could I possibly think of Celeste, the head of our Catedal, as my enemy?."
I smiled like her and replied like that..
You're smiling, I'm smiling... It seems like you've completely forgotten that you tried to scare me by telling me about the temperature here..
First of all, I roughly understood what she said..
That's some kind of warning. I don't know what I did this time, but it was a warning to anyone who knows her god so well except her..
This is probably why I called today. To have a conversation with me, to share my thoughts, and to say this. No matter what I do to her, she tells me not to do anything to upset her.
...She also seemed to approach me quite cautiously. Probably because I don't know how much I know and how much power I have..
It wasn't a bad story at least.
If you had blatantly attacked me here, it would have gotten into quite a bit of trouble..
I smiled as I drank another cup of tea..
...I'm worried that I may have been drugged, so I'll have to go home and ask Hayul to detoxify me..
Anyway, after that, I had a few more words with Celeste..
Of course, it was almost a useless story, but whatever. Because we're used to laughing at each other and talking about things we don't really mean..
And how many minutes passed like that?.
"ah. Wow, so much time has already passed.."
Fortunately, Celeste said that we should finish the meeting first..
"okay. I guess I should go soon too. Because my colleagues are waiting. haha."
"yes. take care."
So I got up from my seat.
After smiling and saying hello, I ran without looking back..
...I feel like my mental power is being used up even though we haven't even exchanged a few words. I just wanted to lie down in bed.
I always say it, but living as a villain was never easy....
After leaving the round table,.
I left a message to Atlas and the members of the East Asia Villain League, who were worried that something was going on, that I was okay, and went home just like that..
...And it turns out I haven't been to Atlas' city lately. I guess I'll go later.
***
Latis City, the city founded by Atlas.
Atlas, who was sitting there on the temple throne, was sweating while trying to put his daughter to sleep..
"...Ego Stick oppa can’t come today either.?"
"okay. After talking with Celeste this time, she said she had a lot to think about. I don't know what conversation I had with that white woman who just smiled. ask next time..."
What Atlas said was not heard by her daughter Ariel..
"...I see You can’t come today either.."
Ariel with her blue hair hanging down and a dark, helpless expression on her face..
It's been a long time since I last asked him to join his Villain Alliance Ego Stream, but I was turned down because I was weak..
Ariel, who trained hard after that, had a dream where her abilities were proven by Egostick and asked him to do it again....
That's only possible once he comes here.
She kept waiting for him due to Ego Stick, who was busy with various things from the Moonlight Bridge disaster and did not come here... but in the end, he couldn't even come on the day of the villain union meeting with her father..
Meanwhile...
[Ego stick. you have big hands...]
"...Ugh."
Ariel was already familiar with the situation in Korea through TV and the Internet, so she knew. What kind of things is he doing, and if he continues like this, will he be forgotten?.
Ariel, who had been thinking for so long,.
"...okay."
Soon his eyes lost their shine, and he muttered:.
"...If he doesn't come, I can go find him myself.."
She was already unable to make normal judgments..
Let's go to Korea. In a way he could never ignore himself. So that she can show that she's stronger now.
Just like that, Ariel disappeared somewhere with her blue hair flying..
"...Is my daughter experiencing late puberty?."
Atlas could only sigh as he watched her mumbling to herself and then walking away somewhere..
...Without knowing what his daughter might do later,.
***
"...Why is it cold again?."
"Chill? Are you sure you're okay? Shall I heal you one more time??"
Egostream Mansion Bed.
I felt an untimely chill there and trembled involuntarily from the ominous feeling burning in my body..
...Celeste, what did she really have in her car??
