A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 360
EP.360 - Premonition of Advent
knowledge gap.
When I know some knowledge and don't know the rest. That knowledge can be used as a weapon.
In other words, the information I have that says ‘all abilities become stronger with the approach of the sun god’ can easily be used as a weapon..
And the direction the weapon was heading towards was, of course, Celeste..
Why? Because she is a saint obsessed with the sun god, she can maximize this information even more..
So, to others, this information alone is a weapon, but for me, I can sell drugs just by knowing where I got this information..
okay. This is one of my plans: 'Pretending to be a faithful apostle of the sun god'..
ah! The sun god told me this. I didn't tell you?
That's why I came here to Cattedal to meet Celeste again..
A pure white cathedral filled with a mystical atmosphere.
A meeting held regularly between villains at the top of each country..
This cathedal, which has such great significance, has now become familiar to everyone..
Because it was always the same place as the villains I always saw. It's just a place to come once in a while to get to know each other and get new information..
"Mr. Ego Stick!"
"yes. hello."
And I, too, smiled and approached the people I had met through this cathedral..
Japan's chief katana. Li Xiaopeng, head of China.
Members of our East Asian Villain Association.
and.
"Haha! Ego Stick Hey, it’s been a while.!"
Atlas, it's been a long time since he came to Catedal..
He has a beard and is smiling cheerfully as usual..
...Somehow, he looked a little more scarred than usual..
I smiled at him, approached him, and said hello..
"It’s been a while, Mr. Atlas. how are you?"
"okay. Absolutely! It wasn't easy to cut off all the heads of that black monster fish, but I did it.."
He says that with a big smile while resting his shoulder on the back of the chair..
Atlas was unable to come to Katedal the last few times because he was busy defeating the monsters called Cthulhu that invaded the sea. He then told me that it was a pity that he couldn't do the sea expansion project because he defeated the monsters..
Then, he sighs and says to me.
"And... haha. It's hard for me to hear Ariel begging me to see you again. I'm having a hard time..."
Hearing his words while sighing, I just smiled sheepishly..
Anyway, while we were unraveling for the first time in a while,.
Again. Again.
A woman enters the round table.
A woman with long silver hair wearing a pure white saint’s robe. Celeste was coming this way..
"....."
She came in with her eyes closed, giving off an intellectual vibe as always..
Is this the first time since we last met alone at the temple of the sun god? It was kind of cute when he lost all his strength and was shaking..
When I'm thinking like that.
"hmm..."
"...."
When Celeste came in, the surrounding villains began to take turns glancing at her and me..
Maybe she's been waiting for that since lately she's started picking fights with me every time she comes..
But what they expected didn't happen.
"Let's start the meeting."
She says that in a pure voice like always..
...The difference between her and usual was that she did not look at me at all..
what?
"......"
Anyway, the meeting went on peacefully like that..
Celeste doesn't argue with me at all. ...no. Rather, it seemed like they were intentionally ignoring it..
...hmm. I'm sure it's not because I'm embarrassed because of what happened last time..
It wasn't like we had a bad breakup last time, but seeing as you're clenching your teeth and not looking at this side, there's a possibility....
Anyway, the meeting ended peacefully..
...Considering what happens to Katedal after Phase 4, this may have been the last peaceful meeting..
Meanwhile, Celeste turned her head and kept massaging my eyes when I spoke, so it looks like she doesn't want to talk to me today..
But I can't leave it like that.
"Thank you all for your hard work. This concludes the meeting.."
So Celeste ended the meeting..
"Ego stick. Are you not going??"
"yes. I have something to talk about with Celeste.."
"...okay? Haha, I don't know what it is, but I hope you do well.!"
So, after parting ways with them, I waited for Celeste as usual..
So everyone leaves.
A situation where only me and Celeste are left..
Celeste was sitting quietly alone with her eyes closed..
Only when everyone left did I coldly open my mouth..
"...What is it?"
For some reason, she treats me coldly.
...Of course, she said it, but she was waiting for me while I was there, so she wasn't particularly threatening. If she really didn't want to talk to me she would have left first..
"Yes, no different. I have something to tell you about the sun god.."
"What is it."
To her who still turns her head towards me and responds coldly.
I grinned, opened my mouth, and said.
"Has God said anything to you lately??"
"...There wasn't one, why?."
"It's no different, because God spoke to me again last day.."
"......."
My words are spoken so calmly and without a single lie..
She, who was turning her head, slowly turned her face back towards me and.
...Quietly, he opened his eyes slightly, looked at me with his golden eyes, and opened his mouth..
"...tell me."
I guess I can't stand this?
I grinned as I saw Celeste taking such interest in me..
good. Should I clean my mouth?.

last time. After visiting the Temple of the Sun with Egostick.
Celeste trembled with embarrassment..
"Ugh..."
'Hehehe...!'
'...Boo, someone says you're anxious when you're anxious. That's just because you never know. shocking.'
"Ugh..."
Celeste. who is she.
He is a villain who is said to be the strongest in the world, and he has always been in a dominant position since awakening his powers... He was a person who had never once been under anyone..
And she is like that.
...Memories of clinging to an ego stick who was much weaker than me, making frightened noises and relying on it....
It was such a shameful memory that I wanted to erase it from my head..
'Haha... But, it doesn't mean there's no income..'
Of course, I went through such a shameful experience, but I still made a profit..
He discovered and took possession of the sun god's holy relic in the temple..
And... apart from the shame.
'...Ego stick, Ira.'
It was also an opportunity for her to change her perception of the egotic character..
Temple of the sun god. Not only did he know the location of a temple that he didn't even know about, but...
'You had no intention of harming me at all..'
Even though she was so weak that she could die from a single gunshot, he protected her with a smile until the end..
...His appearance like that caused quite a stir in the heart of Celeste, who thought that if she was at the top and let her guard down, anyone would rush in and take her down..
To the point where you start to think that the ego stick is really your ally..
"....."
She was in her prayer room, stroking her silver hair, and instead of praying, she was absentmindedly thinking such egoistic thoughts..
...He has always claimed that he is a follower of the sun god, but the reason she did not believe him until now was simple..
first. He went about eliminating the sun god's descendants at will. second. He is a person who received the power of the star god..
The third reason was that he was always smiling slyly, which seemed like he had a plan, but... that seemed too far-fetched, so I decided to leave it out..
Anyway, she did not believe in egotism and defined it as an enemy....
'Are you really..?'
From his actions afterwards, her thoughts gradually began to change..
The biggest reason why I didn't trust him until now. He is a person with the power of a star god..
Three forgotten gods. sun, moon and stars. Among these, unlike the believers of the moon god who were quite widespread in the shadows, information about the star god was extremely limited. There were very few people with her powers..
Of all the people with star power, the strongest one is Ex Machina. Other than that, she didn't know much. There are a few people in Europe and a person named Stardus in Asia..
Anyway, since a person with such little star god power claims to be an apostle of the sun god, I can't help but believe it..
I thought you were a spy sent by the Star God..
but...
'Really, if the sun god chose him?'
She changed her mind and started thinking like that..
Rather, perhaps the sun chose him because he is a person with the power of a star god. Because an ally who becomes an enemy is the scariest thing. If you educate him, it will be of great help..
In particular, that thought became more solidified when she saw the color of Egostick's hair..
Although she had very little information related to star power, she still knew more than ordinary people..
'Obviously, based on the information left in the book,...'
It is said that all people who received the power of the star god have brilliantly shining blonde hair..
However, Egostick's hair is black. Still, he has star power....
'...Fallen, huh??'
okay. Could it be that the power of the stars has become corrupted? Because he believed in the sun god.
It was a pretty credible guess..
So much so that she thought to herself and was persuaded..
'to be honest...'
Receiving an angel who was the servant of the Sun God, and then continuing to accuse him of being a spy of the stars when he knew the location of the Sun God's temple that he did not know about... even in her opinion, it seemed a bit far-fetched..
Especially since he didn't even touch me, I was sure he thought he was an ally....
"Ugh..."
...I don't know why God is silent to me, but why does he speak to me?.
Couldn’t Egostick really be an apostle chosen by the sun??
She thought about it quietly.
...As Egostick intended, a completely grand illusion..
She continued thinking like that..
"...Wait."
...Without realizing it, he was reminded of the future where Ego Stick was kissing him..
It is said that he had trouble sleeping for several nights thinking that this could really happen if this trend continues....
Afterwards, when I saw Ego Stick in Cattedal, I gritted my teeth and avoided his gaze. He felt uneasy that if he made eye contact, his face would blush....
Of course, that was meaningless, Egostick stayed and waited for her as if he had something to say..
In the end, she had no choice but to face him and talk to him..
...Dear Egostick, I heard something shocking..
"...I beg your pardon?"
as soon as. I heard that the day will come when the power of everyone who has received the power of the sun god will become several times stronger..
And he said that.
"You heard correctly.."
He was smiling while saying that..
