A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 306

  Me and Starthers finally got there.

 "....."

 Even at a glance, this place has an old and worn-out feel, unlike the upper floors..

 The surrounding walls, which were once pure white, were now dark and corroded, and in some places there were even tree roots..

 And let's go through this somehow familiar maze-like place..

 The giant black door from the depths finally appeared..

 "...I think I've seen something like this before?"

 When I saw Stadus slightly tilting his head as if he was experiencing a sense of déjà vu, I hurriedly said to her:.

 "Isn't it just because huge doors like this are common??"

 "is it..."

 After skimming over it like that,.

 Before opening the door, I once again warned Stadus with a serious face..

 "Mr. Starders. I know what to do with the guy inside, so please trust me and follow me. It's too dangerous, so don't venture out.."

 "...okay. I'll be by your side."

 "..Well, it can be dangerous to be around, so I would like you to wait at the door when you come in.."

 "..."

 Stardust's face took on an expression of displeasure at those words, but he reluctantly agreed after seeing my sorrowful eyes..

 "...then Let's go."

 "okay."

 With those words, Stardust and I opened the huge black door..

 OK.

 whistling.

 An ominous, cold wind blew from there..

 So we entered the vast, completely invisible darkness underground..

 As the door closed and we entered, we could see something at the other end..

 "excuse me..."

 The very end of a huge underground cavity.

 Faintly visible, among the large white tentacles attached to the wall..

 A blurry image that appears to be in the middle of it all.

 okay.

 That guy must be one of the final bosses of Phase 3..

 "...ego stick."

 "yes. All right. I'll go right now."

 In response to her words that seemed to be urging me, I told her to take a step straight and head to where the guy was, but.

 Before that, my wrist was grabbed by her.

 Let's look back and see something.

 Her slightly shaking, worried eyes.

 "No... be careful. Understand?"

 "...yes."

 These words are spoken so seriously and earnestly..

 I couldn't even bring myself to joke, 'Is the hero worried about the villain?'.

 Yeah, you have to be careful..

 Just follow the plan, just follow the plan.

 '...I'm not sure if that's being careful though..'

 With that in mind, I took out one of the earphones that was with the recorder in my coat and put it in my ear..

 good. All preparations are complete.

 let's go.

 With that thought, I stepped into the dark cavity..

 ruler. Let's make a wish.

 A wish that he couldn't expect.

 dark indoors.

 In that large, dark cavity that is bigger than most sports complexes and where you can't even see the ceiling above..

 I was quietly approaching ‘something’ at the end..

 "......."

 Surrounded by thick white tentacles, something shaped like a 5-year-old child sits in the middle..

 The only difference from an ordinary child was that his entire body was black. The face and body are so black that you can't clearly see them..

 And that guy.

 Something that the old heroes tried to seal by creating such a huge space..

 One of the sun god's creatures that exist all over the world..

 He is the one who made my wish come true.

 "..."

 It didn't look very threatening on the outside, but I knew it. The power this guy has is beyond imagination..

 Unlike ordinary humans who only received God's abilities, this guy is a life form created by the Sun God himself..

 As such, its power is close to that of God. It is said that it has the power to change cause and effect and providence..

 However, because of that, it has major limitations..

 This means that when someone else pays him a price and makes a wish, he can only use that power in the process of granting that wish..

 But even so, its power was transcendent. As long as the price is high enough, any wish can be granted. A wish to destroy a country, a wish to make oneself rich, or a wish to resurrect someone who has already died..

 However, it is very difficult to meet the price.

 The problem is that the wish is granted in a very strange way..

 With that in mind, I walked away..

 Finally, we got close to the guy..

 widely.

 When I stop walking, I see a small black child sitting in front of me.. 

 Its entire body was immersed in deep darkness, but as an exception, only its mouth was seen smiling in pure white..

 And when I looked closer, I saw a small black figure that looked even more disturbing, and thick white tentacles surrounding it..

 And in the midst of it all.

 Finally, it spoke.

 "...It's been a while since I saw this person.."

 The voice that spoke while moving its white mouth sounded like the laughter of a small boy, or like the sound of a crackling machine..

 Whatever it is, it's a strange and disturbing voice I've never heard before..

 At that voice that seemed to penetrate directly into my ears, I quietly nodded and opened my mouth..

 "...hello. He who makes wishes come true (votum implens)."

 "....."

 At my words, the black figure just smiles without saying a word..

 Looking at him, I thought about his characteristics again..

 one who grants wishes.

 If you make a wish by offering a price, your wish will come true..

 However, the wish is very wrong. Wishes are granted in a way that will result in the greatest misfortune for the greatest number of people, including the person making the wish..

 If you make a wish for him to become rich, he will kill all of his blood relatives and make you rich through inheritance..

 If you make a wish to resurrect someone who has already died, they will be resurrected with a curse on them, ultimately leading to their destruction..

 The bigger the scale of the wish, the more people are involved, and this can lead to destruction beyond the country and the world..

 Decades ago, the guy granted the wishes of countless people and ruined the world, but only after the sacrifices of the heroes did they finally succeed in catching him..

 To be exact, they paid a 'price' to seal themselves, but anyway..

 The problem with this guy sleeping like that is...

 'In the original, he eventually reappears..'

 The great prison break caused by Seo-eun, who was blackened in the original work..

 There, a villain discovers this guy, and the situation goes completely crazy.. 

 It is literally one of the final bosses, and as the first creature of the sun god to appear in the original work, he is also the first to leave a comment about the sun god..

 Of course, now that Seo-eun is on my side and the world has changed, there will be no more things like the original..

 Still, since I already knew he was dangerous, I had no intention of entering Part 4 while keeping him alive. Especially in part 4, all kinds of creatures of the sun god are making a fuss, and I don't know what will happen if they come in contact with them..

 Of course, if you think about it, it's impossible for me to catch him. To begin with, he is impervious to any physical attack..

 Actually, there was someone who could fight this guy..

 "..."

 Our starders are right behind me, looking at me with concern..

 As the incarnation of the star god, she is the only one who can harm that guy. She actually beat the guy up in the original..

 ...However, the process was extremely terrible and cruel..

 He's the one who grants 'wishes' in the first place, so how strong can he be? In the end, Stardust fought to weaken him, paying a great price, and was able to defeat him in the end..

 Of course, the battle scene itself was the biggest scene in all three parts..

 '...I will offer you in return. Instead, pause for 3 seconds..'

 The sight of her continuing to fight fiercely, giving up her precious things one by one to catch him is truly a sacred scene. It was a scene where we could see what a true hero is and how great her sacrificial spirit is..

 And of course I always do.

 I had no intention of seeing her like that..

 No, I'd rather suffer a little more. I'll just watch Starders suffer like that.?

 Anyway, with that thought in mind, I stood in front of him..

 Soon the guy looked up at me and said with a creepy smile..

 "So, are you here to make a wish? Pay me the price. Then I will make your wish come true."

 As soon as he finished speaking, strange laughter echoed in my ears..

 With those words, I took a deep breath and checked my plan one last time..

 yes, price.

 A wish-granter grants all wishes according to the amount of the price paid. If you want to make a big wish, you have to pay a huge price. If you want to become extremely wealthy, you have to live a few decades longer, and if you don't even have that, you risk your life. Or if you want to give material things in return, you have to give almost billions of dollars..

 and i.

 More than anything else, I wanted to give something precious to you..

 I took a breath like that.

 In a calm voice, but more accurately than ever.

 I told you the price I would pay.

 "...I am."

 "I will give you all my memories from this world as a price.."

 I say that quietly.
