A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 319

 "ha..."

 My room, on that chair.

 I leaned back there, looked up at the ceiling, sighed, and tapped the armrest..

 The terrorist attack ended successfully. Although it's over...

 What I'm worried about now is something else.

 '...At that time, I saw Stardust.'

 why did i react like that?

 As I always say, I am a person who is very thorough about public and private matters..

 In other words, never mix emotions when working. This was especially true of my relationship with Stardust. As a fan, I just lived for her and never thought about anything more. she has never.

 But yesterday, when I saw Stardust, what I felt was...

 '...It was strange.'

 My heart beats like crazy like a middle school student who realized his first love..

 I can't take my eyes off her, and I feel like I want to be by her side even just a little longer..

 I was shocked to see the emotions that I had never felt before losing my memory... or, even if I had felt them, had been buried deep in my heart, rising to the surface uncontrollably..

 No matter how I look at this.

 '...When you lose your memory, it means something happened..'

 I thought so with a cold face..

 The message I left saying ‘I think Stardust likes me’ is the same, and it feels like everything is connected..

 Since I am someone who prides myself on being quick to judge situations, I thought about it and came to a conclusion..

 '...Did I, who lost my memory, fall in love with Stardust?.'

 And that was my conclusion.

 First of all, during the week I was imprisoned, I thought that Stardust might have been involved in some way. I was in prison for a week, and it is said that Starders did not leave the house for a week, so I guess she kept coming to visit me.. 

 There shouldn't have been any major problems up to that point because everything was prepared before being imprisoned. For more details, you can ask Lee Seol-ah, who sleeps only 3 hours while working these days, what she knows when she's free..

 So the natural conclusion was that I, who had lost my memory, fell in love with her... and that feeling did not go away and still remains..

 Actually, this was the most plausible sound..

 First of all, it is undoubtedly true that there was some kind of interaction between Stardust and me, who lost our memories. I even told her to ask Stadus if anything happens to the tape recorder I left for her when she lost her memory... In the first place, as soon as she met me yesterday, what she said was, 'Have you got her memory back?' Because it was.

 And this guess is.

 [I think Stardust likes me.]

 The message I left after losing my memory turned into confirmation..

 'You bastard... you want to believe it because you like Stardust..'

 Well, don't criticize me for losing my memory. From the beginning, my favorite character was her stardust, so when I meet her in person, I may not be able to judge her rationally. ... However, she didn't know that would happen because she was surprised to see herself possessed by a hero comic, hmm. These days, when I see Stardust using beauty techniques on me to catch me... Well, if Stardust did that to me even though I lost my memory, it was worth it..

 '...to be honest.'

 Me now too.

 If you stick with Starthers and she keeps hitting on you like she did back in the labyrinth.

 Even though I know it's a beauty world.

 ...Because I was drunk on a sweet fantasy and thought I might pass over..

 Well, I'm glad it hasn't happened yet, but you never know..

 I thought about the comment I left after losing my memory and laughed..

 "...Stardust says he likes me."

 but.

 Since I lost my memory and never experienced that incident, it is reasonable to think that way. She's only encountered Stardust through her comics and doesn't know much about her.. 

 But I am different. I know. She says there's no way she likes me. Only I, a Stardust expert, knew.

 Because for her, there is a gap between a villain and a hero..

 '...But it doesn't matter what Stardust thinks of me now..'

 I thought about that and then shook my head..

 Actually, that wasn't the problem. Her problem is that I like her now.

 I finished it quickly as if I was running away now, but what about later? I may not be able to control my heart.

 So that means you're going to have an accident. Of course, no matter what I did, Stardust would snap his fingers and it would be over... but the problem was our egostream. Even now, um, it’s like that. It turns out that I like Stardust rationally.?

 '.....'

 ...While I was thinking such terrible thoughts, I quickly came to a conclusion..

 okay. I think it's really right to do it now before it's too late..

 my retirement.

 "...Slowly, there is no reason to commit terrorism anymore.."

 I muttered that as I turned on my laptop..

 Now that I have easily defeated the final boss of Phase 3 of the original work, which consists of a total of 4 phases, the ending is slowly coming into view..

 Especially in a situation where Stardust has already become sufficiently strong, I have been wondering whether it would be meaningful for me to continue terrorizing any longer. Especially now that villains with all kinds of abilities are slowly coming out. If you add Ego Stream members there, there will be no problem with ability growth. This is the completion of the ego squad without the ego stick..

 Originally, it could have been delayed a little longer, but with the original story slowly coming to an end, if Stardust is shaking like she is now... I wonder if there is any point in getting more involved with her..

 In fact, it may be a bit too much for me to do, having already destroyed all of the original plot, but I was wondering if there was any need for me to come to the forefront since all the important things were already done. I think it's time to leave while applauding, and now is the time to step down from the front lines of terrorism. Because there's nothing good about me being associated with Starthers..

 "Yes, it would be right to get out of the way for her sake.."

 I muttered while fiddling with my mask on the desk..

 ...Actually, when I think about it, I may have meant too much to her. She claimed to be Arch Enemy and kept getting on my nerves. In the end, she made the extreme choice of becoming a beauty (...). It's never been like that in her original work..

 There are now 4 phases to go. In other words, considering the many stories that will unfold in her final chapter, I didn't think it was right to keep making me care about her. It would be right for me not to come forward anymore. ...Of course, we must continue to engage in external activities as well as not commit terrorism. The number of things to do with Stardust will drastically decrease. ..., I predicted.

 Anyway, I will continue to prepare for Phase 4 during that time. I will probably be more active in external activities than I am now. As such, there is no time for terrorism anymore, so it would be better to declare to her that we will not do it anyway..

 ...The biggest reason is that I also want to rest a bit. Honestly, if you blocked Phase 3, you've done your job..

 "let's retire, retire~"

 I muttered that and tapped on my laptop..

 All major projects, including the Bank of Korea Group, Wolgwang Bridge, and the Great Jail Break, have been completed. I have to go now. What kind of terror is this at my age?.

 ...Of course, I was planning on committing a few more terrorist attacks before leaving. Because it's a shame. 

 And yet, those events still remain. It would be perfect if I could take care of that and retire..

 What should we do with the final terrorist attack?.

 As expected, it will be on the largest scale so far, and it will be done on a grand scale... and at the end, all you have to do is announce to the entire nation and Stardust that you are retiring. good. It is perfect.

 So, I slowly started making plans..

 My retirement plans are now in full swing..

 ...Slowly, I have to prepare to move away from Stardust..

 And a few days later.

 "Brother, I got a call from Catedal.?"

 "....."

 The moment has come when my retirement is no longer important..

 That’s right, the villain meeting’s catedale was held once again..

 '...Well, no matter how much I think about it, I think Celeste noticed..'

 For some reason, I felt like something would happen again if I went, but I still had to go.. 

 Because the core of Phase 4 was Celeste and Catedal..

 In fact, Catedal is an organization that had almost no presence in the original work set in Korea. It was a place that showed its presence in the last phase..

 In other words, the build-up done so far in Catedal was actually for this purpose..

 "Okay, let's go."

 I said that and stood up..

 ...Slowly, it was time to come to an end..

 ***

 So a few days later.

 "...Hey, Mr. Egostick! Nice to meet you. Long time no see."

 "Ego stick. Here it is..."

 I participated in the Katedal roundtable, and first sat down and said hello to Li Xiaoping and Katana, who waved at me, and then walked away.. 

 In particular, Li Xiaopeng has a smile on his face..

 I heard that finally, finally, his organization, Hwaryong, has completely conquered China. As expected, it looks just like the original.

 He called me the other day and said it was thanks to me for giving him confidential Chinese government information. ...Actually, it would have been fine without me, but I just laughed and listened. It's good if he thinks so.

 Anyway, as it was now time for our Korea-China-Japan Villain Alliance to begin full-fledged activities, I was thinking that I should meet with them more often..

 "Mr. Atlas..?"

 "Oh, you can't come today.."

 For your information, Atlas is said to be unable to come because something happened to the sea. What crawling? It looks like they are coming after defeating a strange creature called Krullu or something. Maybe it's because I don't know much, but it seemed like there was a lot to do in the sea..

 "Everyone came.."

 Anyway, the meeting finally began when Celeste appeared with her eyes closed, dressed in a white saint's robe..

 "...Then I will tell you next.."

 Meanwhile, I could feel something.

 '...no.'

 Celeste is staring at me too openly....

 Write. You're in big trouble.

 Since the beginning of Catedal.

 The villain meeting went on as peacefully as ever. Actually, if you think about it, it is a very strange sight. All the S-class villains who are said to be the worst in the world are gathered together, but they don't fight among themselves and everything goes smoothly? It's a mysterious story even if you think about it..

 And actually, there was a reason for that..

 One is that the villains gathered here are not just S-class villains, but are all bosses of a villain organization with other subordinates under them. In other words, there is some level of socialization..

 second. And the biggest reason is.

 "...."

 Right there, a silver-haired woman sitting with a quiet yet mysterious look, as if she can see everything even with her eyes closed..

 This is because there is one who is said to be the strongest among all villains, Celeste..

 Theseus is said to have built an underground kingdom throughout the American continent, aiming to destroy the Earth. Atlas, who rules over all sea creatures and rules the entire North Atlantic. When asked to choose the strongest villains, these two are definitely in the top three. ...And even if these two attacked together, Celeste was the one who said they wouldn't be able to win.. 

 She is a person who has written a new myth in the history of villains, and is a woman who is evaluated as stronger than anyone else at the moment..

 "...Wow."

 And she was looking at me blatantly throughout the meeting..

 Keep going, staring.
