A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 320
"....."
The situation is so blatant that other villains are also noticing it..
"...Egostick, this is okay...?"
I felt those gazes so much that Katana, who was sitting next to me, gently pulled my clothes and whispered that to me while breaking into a cold sweat..
And I turn to her.
"...Do not worry. It's no big deal."
He just gave me a calm smile, as if to reassure me..
...Actually, I was scared too, but if you show it openly, you become a minion. It was peaceful, as if it was familiar. I didn't forget to smile whenever I made eye contact with Celeste, who was staring at me like that. Of course there was no reaction..
Anyway, the meeting ended with such an anxious feeling..
"...And, ego stick. Would you like to stay and talk to me for a moment??"
Finally. Those words came out from Celeste who was standing in her seat..
When Celeste said that, the other villains came out and glanced at her, wondering if it was like that. Everyone had a curious look on her face as they didn't know why she was acting like this today. Only my colleagues looked at me with concern, but.
"Don't worry, go first.."
Everyone was anxious at my words, but they all left. ...Even if it's just those two, if Celeste makes up her mind, they'll never be able to stop her..
Anyway, all the villains disappeared and disappeared..
Finally, the place where just the two of us are left, Cattedal Cathedral.
Inside the gray, white cathedral.
From the front of the room where the round table is placed, illuminated through colorful stained glass..
He looked at me, who was waiting, leaning slightly on the chair next to me and smiling..
she is.
Coldly, I opened my mouth.
"...Ego stick. What do you want?."
She was just full of chills and asked me that in a sharp voice she had never shown before..
I smiled back at her as if asking what was the problem..
"I don't know what you're talking about.."
"You don't know."
She answers as if she is shocked.
Then Celeste coldly spat at me..
"You are asking why you hurt inflation. I don't think you're going to pretend you don't know. I went all the way there to do that on purpose.."
She comes out very openly.
okay. That's why she calls me. Why did I harm the person who grants wishes and is a creature of the sun god? It must have been unforgivable for her, a devotee of the sun god. ...More than that, you've always been concerned about the sun god thing..
While I was thinking that, Celeste, with her eyes still closed, gently touched the upper back of the antique chair she was sitting on and opened her mouth..
"Inflation. He is a loyal messenger of our God, safe and secure in East Carcaeas. From the beginning, that place was a fortress for him.."
"But you, the egotist, attacked him and murdered him in a terrible way. As if there was a grudge."
"So, ego stick. I will ask you here."
"Are you my enemy??"
And while saying that.
For the first time, I saw her.
like that.
"....."
I encountered her burning golden eyes, which probably few people in this world have ever seen..
At the same time, the strong fear of life and death felt in an instant. frozen conference hall.
...This atmosphere of fear was the same as last time, but the difference was that the pressure was much stronger than before. It's literally an atmosphere where you'll die if you answer wrong. Considering the difference in power between Celeste and me, I could have died with just one of her fingers..
A criminal like that would run away crying, and even a person with considerable courage would tremble and open his mouth..
I'm like, I don't feel that pressure at all..
He moved his body naturally, nodded his shoulders, and smiled in response..
"Could it be so??"
After saying that, I approached her, still smiling. It seemed relaxed, and I smiled as if I wasn't nervous at all..
"Rather, as I said last time, if I were your colleague, I would be your colleague.."
"Umm. okay. Are you saying that because you are my colleague, you killed the messenger of the sun god??"
She says that while staring straight at me with her burning golden eyes, as if to tell me not to talk nonsense..
I met her mysterious eyes directly.
Calmly, I opened my mouth again..
"...That too was God's will."
"now. Are you saying you know God’s thoughts better than I do??"
...Now she seems to be running out of patience, speaking even colder..
No, literally, when I looked again, the round table was freezing. It sounds like it's getting really cold. It seemed like he was intentionally creating an atmosphere of fear... or he was so angry that he couldn't control his power. The problem is that it was more likely the latter....
In a situation where my life ended like that,.
match.
I clapped lightly, brightened the mood, and opened my mouth..
"Mr. Celeste. Then let's do this."
"What?"
"Let's make a bet on who is more religious.."
When she frowned as if she was saying something stupid, I smiled and opened my mouth..
"Until the next catedal opens. I will prove that I am closer to God than you are. If you can't do that, you can kill me or torture me, whatever you want. I am confident. If you're not confident, whatever. Are you going to kill me right here?."
I spread my arms wide and say that.
On that day, Celeste stared at me with beautiful golden eyes, not knowing what she was thinking..
Fuck. Kill it. If you want to kill me, try killing me.
...In fact, if I really wanted to do that, I had an emergency plan in place. How to prepare for any unexpected situation.
but.
I was confident knowing her personality.
She can't do that to me right now.
like that.
She was silent for a moment.
Soon he spoke quietly and in a cold voice..
"...is it so. great. Let's do that.."
"However, in case I am not convinced. On the condition that you spit out everything you know."
"yes. All right."
And to her next words, I quickly nodded and responded like that..
Even in a situation where the number one ranked villain is trying to tear me apart, I have the courage to grin and not feel scared at all. These things make me look like I have something more, like I have a secret. Even if Celeste is stronger than anyone else, she can't read minds..
"Well, I'm busy, so I'll leave then.."
Before she changed her mind, I decided to do my best. busy, busy.
like that.
"...."
Celeste was quietly watching me leisurely leave..
It was good. Mom, I survived today too..
Hurray.
***
After Egostick left,.
The empty Cathedal Round Table conference hall.
Celeste, who stood there quietly for a moment, opened her mouth and spoke quietly without taking her eyes off the passageway where the ego stick went..
"Arthur. Are you there."
"yes. Celeste."
As soon as she finished speaking, a man dressed as a knight in armor quietly came out from behind the blackout curtain..
Without meeting his eyes, she calmly asked.
"...so. How did you feel today? Ego stick. Did he still look dangerous??"
To her question.
Arthur, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth again..
"...yes. Celeste. He still seemed more dangerous than anyone I'd ever seen.."
"Haha... okay, let's go.."
When Celeste said that, he disappeared behind the curtain again like a shadow..
Left alone at the empty round table again, she quietly looked at her silver hair reflected in the stained glass and muttered..
"...Well, I guess I need to find out more.."
ego stick.
A person who acts as if he knows the future, blocks the plans of those who follow the moon god, and is abnormally obsessed with one hero..
However, he is close to Atlas, who is the second strongest person after her, and is the person who directly eliminated God's creation..
in other words.
A strange figure who knows as much about the gods as he does himself..
'...I guess I'll have to go find her..'
