A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 373

EP.373 - Strategy Advice

It's been quite some time since the inflation started..

Meanwhile, Cattedal was growing at an alarming rate..

[Breaking news! The French Association is currently occupied by Cattedal, and all of Europe is on high alert! In response, Villain, the head of the British branch of Catedal, demands surrender, saying, ‘We want peaceful conquest.’.]

[Experts believe that the defeat of the French Association this time was due to the cooperation between the French Villain Association and the British Villain Association. Through Catedal, the villains cooperate with each other, and the association's power becomes much stronger than before, something the association did not expect....]

[Even in Asia, Cattedal's expansion is scary. Local authorities say that currently in Southeast Asia, the number of villains joining Katedal has increased rapidly, throwing the government into chaos. To date, the International Hero Association headquarters has failed to come up with a clear solution, leading to growing controversy....]

The International Villain Association, a perfect counter to the International Hero Association..

Unlike the Hero Association, whose purpose was to maintain public order, the Villain Association, whose goal was actually conquest, was growing at a faster rate than before..

"In fact, it can be seen as the emergence of a new power...."

An internal network running on my laptop that records progress shared among Catedal members..

I muttered that as I watched Catedal running in real time..

In fact, just like in the original, Cattedal was fine up to this point..

As I have said repeatedly, unlike the miscellaneous villains, the Villain Alliance each had a clear goal..

It's about conquering something yourself. Whether it was his own country or the sea, the goal was conquest rather than destruction. Like China and Japan, where villains actually succeeded in conquering.

...Of course, the problem is that China and Japan were already fed up with their governments, so they could actually see it as a coup... but other countries tried to overthrow the government even though it was still intact and take over the country for themselves. That's why he was a problem, and he was a villain..

'But now things are a little different..'

...Governments and associations in all countries have virtually lost their minds..

People with abilities are getting stronger, but there are more people with these abilities becoming villains than heroes..

It has always been a world with more villains than heroes, but now the polarization has become more severe..

Rather, the world has begun to lean toward the logic of power, to the point where the strongest villain is better at managing other villains..

In other words, the country that Catedal conquered may have better security in general. In fact, China and Japan, where Li Xiaofeng and Katana ate, had pretty good security. This is what happened because there were more villains in the Villain Alliance than there were heroes in the association..

Of course, there is no answer if you lose control....

Rather, this was an opportunity.

Because they said that I could change the world situation through Katedal..

"...Phew."

They were doing all this to prevent destruction, but it would be difficult if the world were destroyed before the sun god came..

First, before I seduce Celeste and convince her, I need to try this first..

"There's a Catedal executive meeting coming up soon...."

...It's perfect.

I guess I'll try playing around the world soon..

With that thought in mind, I took out the notebook on the bookshelf where I had scribbled down information about the original work..

like that.

Time has passed.

Finally, the day has come when Cattedal gathers again.

***

catedal.

What was once a simple information-sharing conference has now become a de facto alliance of villains aiming for world domination..

So, now we are all subordinate to countless villains. Virtually all of the villains who have been represented so far have become executives..

As the situation changed, the meeting location of the cathedral prepared by Celeste also changed..

"Everyone please come this way.."

It is a huge cathedral that is so different from the small cathedrals that existed so far that the ceiling is not directly visible..

This is a place where the entire walls and floor are covered with luxurious white marble, the ceiling embodies the night sky as if it were the universe, and you can see the actual sky outside the huge stained glass..

...This place is no longer a round table, but a huge rectangular marble table..

It was the meeting place for Cattedal's new, world domination..

"Everyone came.."

So currently.

Soon after, Celeste, walking with white silver hair, arrived, and the meeting began..

"Since our cathedal came together by God's will, so many people have grown...."

As usual, this time I was sitting right next to Celeste and listening to her conversation with lazy eyes..

From what I heard, it turns out that Catedal has achieved remarkable results. The story was that they broke the existing order established by the association and took a step forward by conquering the world..

I didn't need to hear anything more.

...Because they've all already heard what I'm going to say. The other day, Celeste called me and I went to talk about something, and I remember being embarrassed because she called me to hear what her speech was like..

Well, I thought it was good that we had become that close..

After some explanation,.

Celeste glanced at me and opened her mouth as she looked at the various villains sitting in the conference room..

"...That's all I want to say. And from now on, you can freely discuss whatever you want. If you have anything to ask me or want to let everyone know, please come here. Then feel free to get started."

With Celeste’s words.

...The villains in the conference room looked at each other as if they had been waiting and began to open their mouths..

"Hey, you! Kawaseupki. I'm asking you to lend me a few of your subordinates. Can you give me some? I really think it just needs to be a little longer...."

"Recently, I've been hearing that heroes are setting up camp in Brazil. Have you heard?..?"

"haha! I've already dealt with 10 villains below Class A who don't follow Catedal...."

like that.

Villains who started to do something on their own..

With this year's Catedal, everyone seems to be enthusiastic about something..

Celeste, who was sitting next to me, also cleared her throat and began to open her mouth to me..

"And ego stick. you are..."

"Ah, Celeste. wait a minute. I have something to discuss over there.."

"....."

Avoiding the eyes of Celeste, who looked so unhappy, I started walking towards a nearby villain..

"Hello, Mr. Kadreu.."

"huh? Who... Ah! you are that ego stick..?"

A man responds to me in surprise at the greeting I gave him with a smile..

He was a man with a very impressive mustache, and he seemed nervous when he saw me casually sitting next to him. ...Katana said that I was sitting next to Celeste like a second-in-command, so the other villains thought I was the real deal..? Anyway, although it wasn't intentional, it wasn't a particularly bad reaction. A moderate sense of intimidation also serves to increase the credibility of my words..

"yes. It's no different. This time, by order of Celeste, I am in charge of overall operational command within Catedal... You said Mr. Cadreu is in charge of the Spanish side, right? I came here to help you.."

"...help? What kind of help are you talking about??"

The mustachioed man answered my words without any doubt..

Seeing at a glance is a sight to behold. I took out my laptop and held it out in front of the man and opened his mouth..

"ruler. This is the situation in Spain and the relationship between the associations that I have summarized. And this is an explanation of the Spanish heroes. If you use this, you may be able to get the heroes to convert to this side. Please refer to it carefully."

"Ugh..."

He looked at the laptop with deep interest in my words..

After scrolling down for a while, he was surprised and said to me.

"...I will write well. No, it's embarrassing that you, an outsider, know more information that I didn't know...."

He looks at the things I have organized with admiring eyes..

of course. Because it was a combination of the original information and what Seo-eun found out through hacking..

"you're welcome. Oh, and. Let me give you some advice: After all, isn't the goal to conquer the country? Then, in the process, you should only deal with heroes, and it is best to minimize damage to civilians as much as possible. Especially since heroes can be persuaded later...."

He seemed to be deeply impressed by what I said. After giving him that information, I got up again and walked away, aiming for my next target..

What I'm doing now is spreading rice cakes.

Among the villains, they are either on the moderate side like Katana, or those in countries where the government is so corrupt that it would be better to be under Catedal's control..

...In fact, it could be said that it was about making more of my side..

In the end, we need their help to prevent destruction later..

So, I went around and talked to various villains in the name of consulting..

How many people did it that way, and now I can feel their gaze just by walking around?.

"You've finally arrived. You were busy?"

"haha. yes. I have something to consult with you.."

So, I headed back to the hometown of my heart, where our East Asian Villain Association members were gathered, and sat down while listening to Katana's greeting..

...In fact, his control of Catedal already ended the moment he became friends with Celeste. Because I wanted to make it more clear. He also wanted to lead in a more moderate direction....

At the crucial moment, I had to have people on my side..

While thinking that, I looked at the countless villains sitting around me..

Everyone was now strong enough to conquer a country by force, but...

it felt to me.

Even if everyone is this strong.

Everyone knows that they are weaker than the current Stardust..

'...Of course they don't know yet.'

In a small country called Korea, the strongest among current heroes has emerged..

But soon everyone will find out. Because power is not something you can hide even if you want to..

I smiled with such pride.

...Until I saw Celeste giving me a disapproving look..

"....."

...I have to go comfort you..

It is said that the remaining time of Cattedal was spent being held captive by Celeste....
