A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 379
EP.379 - So it can seep in slowly
The worldview of the original work describes the setting of God like this:.
In the beginning there were three gods.
They came down to the world of humans and guided them with their benevolent hearts..
One god has power.
Other gods have knowledge.
The last god shared love.
These three gods who guided humans.
Ancient people referred to the nature they were most familiar with..
...And the gods affirm the name.
It was called this after them..
sun god.
moon god.
And the star god.
These three gods who led humans like this.
...One day it suddenly disappeared.
Deleting all of their records. Forgotten by everyone.
Why did the gods suddenly leave?.
And why does the sun god come back now, after so many years, to destroy this world?.
"...."
The reason is not explained in detail in the original work..
...Actually, that's not important right now..
The important thing is that the Sun God is the final boss of the original work who will destroy this world..
"...Why was this part deleted?."
Inside the ruins of the sun god.
That's what I thought as I looked at Celeste looking at the mural with a worried expression..
celeste.
saint of the sun god.
In fact, she was young, so she didn't know anything about God, so she could be considered a saint of the sun god..
But one day.
she was chosen by god.
I heard the voice of God.
I received the power of God.
She was commanded by God's mantra to rule the world with her power..
...Although God did not provide any other information other than that he was the sun, and his voice has not been heard since then..
She found out about God this far on her own..
That's because I thought my life was saved by God..
Celeste. She truly, sincerely believed in God.
This was possible because she was truly a saint chosen by God, something that cannot be summarized as a fanatic..
But even she.
In the original, when God said he would destroy the world. ...when God's judgment filled the sky.
'...Oh God. why......'
Even she was conflicted.
Is it right to follow the destruction of the man who wants to destroy the world?.
But in the end.
...Because she blindly followed God from the beginning. Because she was everything to God...her outcome was predetermined..
'...All right. If that's God's will.'
In the original.
With dull eyes, she decided that.
to that day.
The World Villain Alliance, Katedal, changed its course from world conquest to world destruction..
Become Stardust's biggest enemy, trying to protect the world..
and.
I was trying to stop it from now on..
"Ego stick? are you listening to me?"
'...For sure. Celeste in the original also had concerns about not wanting to destroy the world..'
now. If I stay by her side.
For sure. Wouldn’t it be possible to make a difference in that choice?.
In the original. Even she who blindly followed God, even though she had no idea what it was like. When she found out about God's true intentions, she felt extremely betrayed..
like now. If you know that the God of the past was good... If you thought that God was good, then...
Wouldn't the feeling of betrayal when I found out the truth be more indescribable than before?...
"...Can't you hear me? hey?"
When I'm thinking like that.
A gruff voice coming from somewhere.
After hearing those words, I finally came to my senses and found Celeste looking up at me with her arms crossed and sulky eyes..
"...haha. sorry. I was thinking about something else for a moment. What were you talking about??"
"Hmph... You're thinking of something else when I'm in front of you. Anyway, check this out."
She turned her head like that and then pointed to a single letter written next to the mural..
While it is written in ancient Latin, some parts are damaged in black..
"The sun god is the god of ■■ and the god of ■■. He resolved the conflict with them...."
I tilted my head as I read it..
...I don’t think I saw this mural in the original..
"First of all, I think the words to come in that part are the god of the moon and the god of the stars... but they are erased.."
"...is it so. Since it is a temple of the sun god, other gods are not that important, so it doesn't matter if they erase it...."
Was it really necessary to erase it by damaging the original text like that?.
...I was skeptical, but since I couldn't find out anything else, I decided to move on..
That way, we walked slowly together and explored the ruins of the sun god..
Together, we discuss what this phrase means, each interpret the mural, and talk about what the sun god is like..
Before we knew it, we were almost at the end of the ruins..
"...I really gained a lot from today.."
So in the last hallway.
Celeste said that with a somewhat happy expression..
"I found out that God existed in the past, and I knew who he was. Now I can say that I have come one step closer to His devotion in the true sense of the word.."
With golden eyes that had been open for some time, she looked at the ceiling and muttered..
I'm next to her.
...I also smiled and answered like that..
"yes. That's a really good thing. The Sun God is scheduled to descend soon, so there will only be more joyful things to come. Maybe the world would be a better place."
In fact, I knew that the world would never become a better place and that God only intended to make it worse..
I said that as if I truly believed that God would make this world better..
As if God said 'it has to be so'.
As I was saying that, I happened to see the last room of the ruins at the end..
I am in front of him.
Celeste, who was silent for a moment at my words, cleared her throat for a moment, then stopped and opened her mouth..
"...and. All of this today is thanks to you, Ego Stick. thank you. If I were alone, it would have been difficult to find this place.."
She slightly avoids my eyes and says that in a slightly awkward voice..
...To be precise, while watching her speak in a voice hiding her embarrassment. I was a little surprised.
I can't believe Celeste thanked me like this first.?
Of course, he looked awkward as he spoke... but I guess this also means that he opened his heart to me a lot..
Then, I will also have to repay you..
For greater favorability.
I looked at Celeste like that, smiled and said.
"haha. It was nothing. Aren't we the only two in this world, chosen by the same sun god and bound together? So Celeste... fellow believers, it's only natural that I help you..
"...So I will be by your side anytime. We are always here to help. On Celeste's side. So, if you have anything to ask or need help with, please let me know.."
Because I have to stay by your side and keep coloring your thoughts with my colors..
I hid those thoughts and said with a smile.
And in my words.
"...Same, the sun god.."
She muttered like that for a while.
"Hehehe. Is it because I am the saint of the sun god?? "
He smiled and answered me like that..
...hmm.
okay. Here, I have to say this:.
"no. There is that too..."
I said that and looked back at her with a grin on my face..
"Celeste, being around you... I really liked you.."
That wasn't a lie.
'Cause the more I'm around her, the more I feel hopeful.
If it were her now... I have no hope that she would be able to deny God and realize what the right path is..
"Even if I'm not a god, I want to stand next to you and see what path you take.."
At the moment of judgment, what path will she decide to take?.
I am. Because I had to see it.
And in my words.
She seemed startled for a moment, her eyes wide open..
...Then he smiled slightly and said to me.
"...Thanks, Egostick."
She says that.
...Not unlike Celeste, she was quite cute..
***
Finally arrived at the end room of the ruins.
There was a white golem-like figure lying there..
"This seems to be the sacred relic of the god that this temple keeps.."
I looked at the weapon stuck on the wall and said.
One of the sun god's weapons that provokes things in sight and draws out anger..
In the original, I only saw it as a setting, so it was my first time seeing it in real life like this..
It looks like a bunch of rough white stones, but it's sweet and has a sacred energy to it..
"wow..."
At that sight, Celeste's eyes sparkled in a way that wasn't her own..
I chuckled, pointed at Golam and said.
"Mr. Celeste. Come and wake me up."
"...huh? I? ...how about you?"
"I think it would be better for Celeste to take it rather than me. haha. What can I use the holy relic for? ...Besides, you're my boss. I have to give in.."
I smiled and said that.
...Actually, I'm a fake agent of the Star God, so if I touch it, nothing happens. What a chilling thing to say.
Of course, she didn't know the circumstances, and she thought I had given up the sacred object to her this time... She looked a little touched..
"...Yes, I would be happy to do so.."
with those words.
She approached Golam and quietly placed her hand on it..
Soon, with a flash of white light.
Weeeeing
Golam began to move in synchronization with Celeste..
"uh! That’s it, ego stick.!"
And Celeste is very happy to see that..
I was quietly watching.
good. according to plan.
Obtained the fourth holy relic, the cornerstone of destruction..
One day, the sacred relic that Celeste will destroy with her own hands..
