A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 350
EP.350 - Likeability
celeste.
The world's No. 1 villain, and the right-hand man of the sun god in the original work, who plays the role of the final boss..
It was very important to seduce her like that..
In fact, you might be asking if I could just shoot him right here and now....
'That won't work.'
That was definitely a bad story..
Because even if you kill her here, it doesn't change the fact that the final boss who destroys the world is the sun god. The benefit of killing Celeste is that it prevents her from acting out later in the game.?
But instead of killing Celeste, what if I make her on my side?.
The benefit was so great that it could not even be compared to simply killing Celeste. Because I don't think the sun god would ever betray Celeste. If you think about it, would the moon god Eunwol think that he would betray him, or would the star god think that Stardus would betray him? You probably can't even make that assumption..
In fact, if things had gone the way they were, Celeste would never have betrayed her. Because he was truly a fanatic of the sun god..
But what if I, an irregular person from another world, come?.
It was a fight worth fighting..
Especially because I knew everything about Celeste..
Get Celeste on my side, plant a spy in the sun god's living room, and block his judgment..
That was the big picture I had planned..
To that end, I have been preparing for a long time to get Celeste on my side. Become a villain, enter Katedal, contact Celeste, unlock information, and create a faction....
Of course, there were still risks..
If I fail to attract Celeste to my side in the first place, everything will be meaningless. So much so that it would be better to die here..
'What if Celeste were a man?...'
I felt regretful thinking about that..
Everyone knows that women have a much lower sense of caution toward members of the same sex than they do toward men..
If it had been a man, he would have already succeeded in getting her to get over halfway through this situation through loyalty and all. I once had a project in the world that was a huge success by gathering only talented people like that. Instead, it was a military atmosphere....
Anyway, there was a problem that killing Celeste would ruin the original story, so I focused on preventing her from killing me. Even if you admit to flirting. That insurance was an angel.
Anyway, this was today's event I prepared to get closer to Celeste..
Enter the ruins where the ability cannot be activated immediately with Celeste..
Although it was a pity to immediately waste this one-of-a-kind gimmick relic, you have to have a special secret plan to become really close. What I'm aiming for is the swing bridge effect. Making Celeste, who has always lived on top of others and forgotten what it means to be weak, helpless..
To Celeste, who must have been so anxious.
The plan is to build trust by showing that I do not touch her even when I could touch her or even kill her..
It may seem a bit clumsy when put into words, but I wonder what would happen if I covered it up with the acting and directing skills I developed during my five years as a villain..
As a result.
I finally succeeded in getting Celeste right next to me..
"It's no big deal. It's just a mechanical device."
I answered by telekinetically crushing the white mechanical lion guarding these ruins..
The guy who was purring earlier is this guy.
For your information, just as I expected, they were created with the power of the sun, so they were very compatible with me, who had their origins in the power of the stars. It's probably because they are made 'purely' with the power of the sun, to the extent that they cannot be compared to ordinary abilities..
I knew from the original work that they were weak..
Anyway, even with this poor telekinesis ability, I felt as if I had become an S-class ability, and I hunted down the scattered miscreants guarding the ruins..
And all the while, Celeste stayed right by my side..
"Ugh..."
How long has it been since she, who always had her eyes closed and wore pure white saintly clothes, giving off a mysterious aura, showed this human side?.
When she opened her eyes and looked around nervously with her golden eyes, I smiled and said,.
"Everything around here seems to have been sorted out, so you don't have to be so anxious.."
"...Boo, someone says you're anxious when you're anxious. That's just because you never know. shocking."
Celeste, who said that with a slightly red face, then turned her golden eyes at me as if she realized something and said,.
"And when I think about it, I am a legitimate apostle of God, so why are they opposing us? It's not all about you?"
When she suddenly asked me a sharp question, I answered with a shrug..
"What are you talking about? By that logic, you wouldn't have lost your strength either. Maybe this is the testing ground.."
I answered like that..
It was actually true..
This is where the sun god gives holy relics to selected warriors after undergoing trials..
It seems like the idea is to break away from your previous abilities and fight with your bare body... The problem is that I am not a sun god, so I was cheating because I did not retrieve my abilities..
"Okay, so let's just keep going.."
"...all right."
So I walked deep into the ruins with Celeste..
Maybe I'm more used to it than before, but now she's walking next to me with an expression of comfort..
Maybe you're sure that I won't hurt her? It's a good thing. Because it means I have trust..
"Hmm... I guess I'll have to come back here later with a contingent and study it in detail.."
As she said those words, her golden eyes sparkled as she looked at the murals painted in the white hallway..
"That's a good idea."
"....."
Seeing me nodding from the side, she turned her head to look at me for a moment with an expression that seemed to be filled with some strange sentiment..
So the two of us quietly walked down the long hallway together..
And while doing so.
I realized now is the perfect time to blow my mouth off.
"Mr. Celeste. Don't you believe that I am a sincere believer in the sun god??"
"...yes?"
She looks back at me as if asking what I said.
After setting the tone for her, I looked at the mural and spoke with an expression filled with emotion..
"...I guess it's not unreasonable to think that since I have the power of a star god.."
"But let me take this opportunity to tell you that I really am following God. It was in my childhood that I began to follow his doctrine.."
"...."
Behind Celeste, who was quietly listening to me..
I began to shake my mouth vigorously..
When I was young, I lived in fear as an orphan with no family register, and by chance I came across a book containing the doctrine of the sun god. And that's when I heard God's voice. From then on, he firmly believed in the sun god..
...Of course, it was a lie, and in the first place, both of my parents were still alive and I grew up without any shortcomings... but in this world, there is actually no family register, so it wasn't wrong. At least there's nothing wrong with Celeste's research on me..
Celeste quietly listened to my verbose words..
...Is it because I might shoot if I make a mistake?.
"...Anyway, recently I heard the voice of the sun god again and started following his words. This ruin was also guided by him in a dream. Ha, it's all there."
like that.
We walked through the maze-like ruins, taking care of the miscellaneous, and finally arrived at the last room..
There, in the middle, is a white sword floating in the air and shining brightly..
It was Luxuria, a sacred relic of the sun god..
A legacy left behind by a god whose name is now forgotten..
...In the original, someone else got it, but.
It's useless to me anyway.
Thinking about that, I smiled and said to Celeste:.
"ruler. Celeste. you have it."
"...really?"
I smiled and nodded to her, who had been unable to take her eyes off the moment she saw that sword..
...It's useless anyway. Because the conditions for that sword are too strict. Same goes for Celeste. Looking at the original, it is destined to become just a decoration..
And in particular, Celeste, who has regained her strength, would have taken it anyway if she left, so let's increase her favorability by giving it to her before that..
"...thank you."
I just smiled at Celeste who quietly said that..
So Celeste stretched out her hand and grabbed the sword..
flashing.
Our tour of the ruins ended like this..
***
after that.
After experiencing various things, I came back to Korea..
Big house. My room.
As I was making my next plan there, I turned my pen and said,.
"...Now the next event is."
It's about time.
'I'll finally be able to meet Starders again after a long time..'
I quietly thought so.
...The anticipation grows at the thought of seeing her again..
It must be an illusion.
I quietly thought so.
...Until then, I didn't know what was going to happen..
