A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 321

 Celeste thought quietly and left the round table..

 It was released today. You never know what he might do, you never know what moves he might be hiding behind his confident demeanor. ...and then he showed me something. He was told to kill him after that..

 however.

 Now, I have to prepare to face him in earnest... she thought quietly..

 Because trampling on people as small as insects was something she was used to..

 After negotiating with Celeste,.

 "Ego stick! are you okay?"

 "yes yes. Do not worry."

 I belatedly joined Katana and Li Xiaofeng, my colleagues from the East Asia Villain League, who had decided to meet separately after the meeting..

 This conference hall is smaller than the round table before, but still quite cozy..

 ...To be precise, this is a bunker for the Japanese government to respond to emergencies. For some reason, it looks like villains are taking over now... Well. It could be, maybe.

 "First, have a cup of tea.."

 She, who gives me the car like that, is an S-class villain (Jin) and a black man who controls the Japanese government. katana.

 Her elegant appearance, with her black hair tied back and wearing a white uniform, casually serving me tea did not look like the actual ruler of this Japanese archipelago..

 ...Well, of course, contrary to appearances, she destroyed the corrupt Japanese government by force and sat on the throne. Isn’t it originally said that history is written by the winners? Even though her villain group, the Three Associations, were villains in the first place, they had high support from the public just like me, and (on the outside) they were not the ones stepping back and being scarecrows... but setting up politicians, so they were the ones who succeeded in making the international community and the association turn a blind eye. . In fact, he was a villain, no different from rebels who used their abilities.. 

 Of course, because I provided the traitor and key information in the process, it was able to turn out like this, unlike the original. In fact, in the original work, by now, Japan had been destroyed during the Moonlight Bridge incident, and the archipelago had become a monster land, so we were always worried that monsters from the other side would come over to our country... but I'm glad that it's a normal country now. Of course, Katana knew that too, so he was always kind to me..

 Of course, when I was struggling to figure out how to control the villain group in the process of taking over the country, I introduced Lee Seol-ah, who has a long history in this dark field, to help me further. Thanks to that, Lee Seol-ah and Katana became close friends, and the relationship between the two countries also became closer. From the beginning, I became close with my superiors....

 "Oh my, yes. thank you."

 Anyway, I was offered a cup of tea by Katana, and I drank it down. My throat was already burning. ...There was an issue that it was a little hot, but it was okay..

 And across from me.

 "ha ha ha! Comrade Egostick, you are now arguing with Celeste. You're really not an average person.."

 There was Li Xiaopeng who said that with a chuckle..

 Li Xiaopeng talking with his head tilted back and a cheerful smile on his face..

 ...He seemed completely depressed after the recent unification of mainland China. Well, it’s a lifelong dream, so it’s worth it..

 His villain group, Fire Dragon, has finally taken over China, but unlike Katana, it has not yet received recognition from the international community. However, he doesn't seem to care much because he will have to admit it in the end anyway..

 In particular, he was quite grateful to me for his conquest of China, saying that it was also thanks to me because I gave him information about the Chinese government. ... To be honest, in the original work, during the Moonlight Bridge incident, when China was in trouble, he took over China very easily... In this world, I closed the gate early, so the country was relatively intact, so his conquest plan was further developed. It's late. However, it is fortunate that this is a story from a parallel world that Li Xiaopeng will never know....

 Anyway, that’s how the three of us got together..

 Katana from Japan, Li Xiaopeng from China, and even me from Korea..

 We formed the so-called East Asian Villain Alliance..

 Today is the day we all decided to meet together for a meeting as I was coming to the hospital, so we met like this..

 "Haha, that's too much praise. Anyway, it's nice to see you all after such a long time. And this time, Li Xiaopeng has also become the head of China... In fact, the heads of the two countries are gathered together except me. Haha, I'm so embarrassed that I'm the only villain.."

 "What are you talking about, ego stick?."

 At my words, Katana chuckles and waves his hand..

 Like her, Li Xiaofeng also laughed as if it was absurd and said:.

 "...Haha, ego stick. A really funny joke too. Aren't you the person who helped us the most in getting us to this point in the first place, and are you almost a soul partner with Lee Seol-ah, a powerful figure in Korea? In the first place, I still don't know how far you are looking down.."

 At his words, I just laughed as if he was telling me not to joke. Since I only told these two last time that the Moonlight Bridge incident would occur, I feel like their trust in me has become stronger, perhaps because they prepared in advance and both overcame the crisis safely and even benefited from it..

 Anyway, the meeting proceeded in such a friendly atmosphere..

 Unlike the name East Asia Villain League,...

 "Then we will support you.."

 "thank you Considering the interest rate anyway... we'll take care of that. Ah, diplomatic ties..."

 In fact, it felt similar to a meeting between the leaders of the three East Asian countries. These people are both villains and leaders who took over a country. As such, all kinds of behind-the-scenes contracts are being carried out here..

 ...I also received some documents from Seol-ah Lee and was handling them on her behalf.. 

 Anyway, the important talk is over..

 Now it's time to talk about something lighter..

 Well, it was a simple personal change. What are you eating these days? Is there anyone among the talented people paying attention? Will the situation in Europe have an impact on our East Asia? Frivolous stories to share with friends at a cafe..

 Of course, I also asked what the relationship was between me and Celeste. So I answered vaguely that we were just getting to know each other. Then everyone seemed to understand. ...I don't know why I understand it..

 We kept talking like this.

 And for these two, this time seemed very precious..

 "...just. Just chatting with Ego Stick and Li Xiaopeng like this makes time pass quickly. Haha, because it's a seat, there's a lot to pay attention to.."

 Katana said that with a smile while taking another sip of tea..

 but. Both of them are the final decision makers of a country. That being said, there aren't many people of the same status who can talk comfortably like this. This means that there are few friends with whom one can talk freely. In fact, everyone is lower than you. That's why Lee Seol-ah likes me....

 Anyway, in such a relaxed atmosphere.

 I suddenly remember.

 "Oh, by the way, I'm thinking of quitting villain activities now. I'm going to retire now and do something else."

 Without thinking, I said that.

 The two who heard that.

 "...yes?"

 "What did you say?!'

 Suddenly there was an uproar..

 ...Now that I think about it, I guess it wasn't something I would say at the nominal villain meeting..

 ***

 After the East Asia Villain Federation meeting held following Katedal ended,.

 "Oh my, it’s hard...."

 I came home and lay down on the sofa to rest..

 ...They were surprised to hear that I was retiring, and it wasn't easy to answer their questions. It was only then that I felt relieved when they said they would stop the terrorist attacks and continue to work behind the scenes..

 Still, just not committing terrorism was a big change. Because I'm giving up one of my identities right now..

 Of course, Ego Stream is alive, and I will not step forward like a king, but will continue to say something behind the scenes... but eventually, I will lose interest. Perhaps, as time goes by, the name Ego Stick will be forgotten.?

 The most disappointing thing is that I don't have to meet Stardust anymore..

 "...."

 I volunteered to be her archenemy for a long time, and since we were together for quite a long time, there was definitely something about her that made me feel bad..

 But, now is the time to walk away. Isn't the true role of her fan to hide behind her and quietly help her?.

 If you think about it, it was quite a long time..

 It's already been 5 years since I worked as a villain. A lot happened during that time.. 

 ...Still, it was time to leave. The most important Moonlight Bridge has been blocked, and the rest is up to Stardust..

 During that time, I will continue to attend cathedral and prepare for the finale.. 

 And get some rest, and...

 "....."

 perhaps.

 It might be time to think about life after the ending..

 Until now, I've never thought that I was only focusing on seeing the ending of this world, and yet I wasn't sure that I would survive this far... but now I felt like I might have to worry about it. I don't know if I will survive the final battle, but if I do, why not open a small cafe?.

 The Egostream members are... well. For a moment, I thought, wouldn't it be right to remain good friends and go our separate ways? However, I somehow anticipated the reaction of our Egostream members upon hearing this, so I decided to stop for a moment. Write.

 I don't know. Once I retire, should I go on a trip with the members?.

 I closed my eyes thinking about that..

 First of all, I have to take care of my bet with Celeste..

 It will probably be the last show I put on before I retire, and it will be a huge, non-terrorist show..

 "You're an angel..."

 3The concept is like a cookie video for Phase 4, and it is a trailer for Phase 4..

 'Because the 'Descent of Angels' event was about to unfold..

    After the negotiation with Celeste in Catedal,.

 I was relaxing for a while.

 To be exact, lying on the sofa and eating popcorn.

 "Mmm..."

 After all, resting is best. This is life. Maybe I've been too busy so far?

 Now that the Phase 3 boss, the Wish Granter, was killed too quickly, there is still a lot of time left before Phase 4 begins..

 ...Of course, there was still a lot to do. Still, it was true that it was much more relaxed than before.. 

 "This popcorn is delicious."

 "right?"

 To the point where I can leisurely lie down and watch TV with Seo-eun like this.. 

 "...please give me too."

 "ruler."

 Seo Ja-young says that while lying on her back with her purple short hair dangling under the sofa. After putting a handful of popcorn in her mouth as she opened her mouth like a baby bird, I turned my attention back to the TV..

 Because there, something came out that couldn't help but interest me..

 [According to a recent survey, Korea was ranked first as the country where wealthy overseas people want to immigrate to. Reporter Yoo Seung-yeop tells us how this happened..]

 ...Write it. Has Gukbong TV finally swallowed up terrestrial broadcasting?? 

 It must be some kind of survey (sample of 3 people) or something like that. It's obvious, it's obvious.

 I was watching TV without much expectation, but I was a bit surprised to hear him speak so seriously..

 [South Korea's terrorism rate is currently at the bottom among the association's member countries, and among the top 10 countries, it has the lowest terrorism rate. In particular, public safety is at the top among all countries. The annual death rate from terrorism is overwhelmingly low. These days, overseas, Korea is said to be the safest country among countries with a high GDP..]

 "...Was our country that good to live in? Last time, there was an uproar at Wolgwang Bridge.."

 "Iknow, right."

 Whether we thought it was odd or not, the anchor's words continued..

 [In particular, the number of overseas immigrants is increasing... Experts say this is due to the performance of the hero Shadow Walker, who makes Korea a safe country at night, and the S-class hero Stardust, whose success rate in suppressing terrorism is 100% excluding one villain, and especially. He prevented almost all large-scale terrorist attacks and prevented terrorist attacks by other villains with his mere presence, and explained that this was due to the villain's egoism..]

 What the reporter said was as follows:.

 So, these days, the perception of Korea abroad is that it is considered the safest among prosperous countries. The point is that the terrorism rate and death rate are actually very low..

 In fact, looking at the data in the news, it was clear that compared to other countries, public safety was good. Well, so far I've been able to catch villains who cause mass destruction. Actually, if you think about the original work, Korea should have been a mess by now. The Weapon Master massacres them with an army of machines, and the Scream Maker sprays poison gas to kill thousands of people at the same time....

 Of course, I eliminated and prevented all of those things in advance, and Stardust was also able to become ridiculously stronger compared to the original..

 With that in mind, I took out my smartphone and looked up a little more about this..

 "...It's true?"

 After looking around the overseas community, I was able to find that the perception of Korea was very friendly.. 

 Well, it's about phase 3 now....
