A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 421
EP.421 - The story of those left behind
the war is over.
The sun god, who had declared the destruction of mankind, finally turned into light and disappeared, and the procession of fallen angels that filled the sky naturally evaporated..
Fight against God and eventually win, but humanity wins.
like that.
In the end, peace has finally come to Earth.
All the angels have disappeared, and is this the aftermath of the death of the Sun God, who gave them this ability? The superpowers of heroes and villains began to gradually weaken..
A story about the world gradually becoming normalized.
...of course.
But that doesn't mean the whole world immediately gets into a festive mood..
With so many cities destroyed due to the war with the angels, there were many sacrifices..
The war with the sun god that everyone watched.
This is because everyone around the world watched the heroes saving humanity while holding their breath in shelters..
...What kind of end did one of those who saved humanity meet?.
[...haha. Mr. Starders...]
[No... please... why... why, ugh, no...]
The land of twilight has become a ruin.
There, a woman was sobbing and holding on to a man..
...And, the man who sacrificed his body to defeat God.
Ego Stick, a Korean villain who led the war against the sun god at the forefront..
...Through the surviving cameras floating in the sky.
Soon, after he sacrificed himself and saved the world. As soon as I breathe out my last breath.
Another hero who fought against God, turns into black ash and flies away in the arms of Stardus. Because everyone saw it.
That's how the war ended.
...Of course, at the end of war a hero is born..
Because it is more effective to make a dead person a hero than a living person..
Ego stick. His real name is Dain..
He would be remembered by everyone in the world as a person who sacrificed himself for this world..
With him, after the world has become a little more stable and settled,.
The memorial procession for him was literally boiling over..
[...Following the happy story, there is sad news. During the battle with God, our country's S-class villain Egostick, who led this war on behalf of Katedal and fought for the world until the end, died. Our broadcast honors him as a national hero, and while he is a villain, he never causes casualties. We would like to continue with a special feature covering the life of Ego Stick, who left after saving the country and ultimately the world with everyone's support....]
[Here's the next news. The International Hero Association appointed Egostick as an S-class hero, which was unusual. The International Association stated, ‘When we remember his life and heroic end, there is absolutely no reason to call him not a hero,’ and added, ‘Even though Egostick was a villain, he was more of a hero than anyone else. “The association will forever remember him as a hero,” he said, explaining the reason for giving him the title of hero..]
[He was jokingly called a hero by the public, but ended up being called a hero after his death....]
Besides.
Everyone who was close to him and knew him expressed condolences..
Japan's representative Katana, China's representative Li Xiaofeng, Atlantic leader Atlas, German villain Heikin, French villain Isabelle, Korean Hero Association President Park Jun-ho, A-class hero Shadow Walker, and all heroes belonging to the Yoosung Group PMC... especially It is said that some personnel reacted in disbelief and sobbed at the news of his death..
...especially.

[Don't be damned, don't be damned, don't be damned, don't be damned, don't be damned, don't be damned, don't be damned, don't be damned, don't be damned, don't be damned, don't be damned, don't be damned, don't be damned, don't be damned.]
[Is this a dream? Is this a dream? Is this a dream? Is this a dream? Is this a dream? Is this a dream? Is this a dream? Is this a dream? Is this a dream? Is this a dream? Is this a dream? Is this a dream? Is this a dream? This is a dream?]
[If you're just going to follow me to death, then I'm a bitch. If I'm just going to follow you to death, then I'm a bitch. If I'm just going to follow you to death, then I'm a bitch. If I'm just going to follow you to death, then I'm a bitch. If I'm just going to follow you to death, then I'm a bitch. If you're just going to follow me to death, then I'm a bitch.]
[I just drank soju because I was a bitch. Does this make sense?]
[Save the fuck, you crazy bastards. No, this is really fucking shit. What are you trying to do with this? Why the fuck are you killing our mangos because they want us to live happily now? This is a really fucking world.]
[If you think the world's destruction would be better than a mango dying, then that's okay hahahahahahahahaha]
[Is there anyone who was really out of breath at the moment when Ego Stick collapsed? It just got dark before my eyes.]
[Don't give a damn, there's no way our mangoes can die from something like that. It will definitely be resurrected like Jesus within 3 days.]
[ㅅㅂ Do something you shouldn’t do at a funeral, make a resurrection right now that will surprise everyone.]
*
The fan cafe-like community that most passionately supported and followed Ego Stick was. It was literally chaos..
Hundreds of posts are uploaded every few seconds, making it impossible to function normally..
Most of those posts were about situations where normal conversation was impossible, such as not believing in Egostick's death, lamenting the world, or saying there was a way to resurrect him..
In such a situation.
...Suddenly, people realized something strange..
Come to think of it.
Those who were closest to Egostick during his lifetime.
With the members of the villain alliance Egostream he established,
Hero Stardust watched him on his deathbed.,
Celeste was the head of the cathedal to which he belonged.,
Even Lee Seol-ah, chairman of Yuseong Group, who cooperated with the countermeasures headquarters..
...The fact that they all disappeared.
And, people didn't know.
They were all gathered in the living room of Egostick's large mansion..
"Don’t be damned!! What's going on?!!!"
With teary eyes, Choi Se-hee is shaking Stardus by the collar..
And while she was doing that, Starthers was just staring with blank eyes and tears streaming down his face..
After the incident.
...Without realizing it, they gathered at Egostick's house in search of everything and something..
"Haha... That's a lie, right? yes? Da-in died, it doesn’t make sense...."
Seo Ja-young, who always had an expression of ignorance on her face, was also sitting on the sofa with dead eyes and muttering with her head hanging down..
"What should I do... Ugh. Yes, the Death Knight has also disappeared...."
"Eunwol, what..? Death Knight guy?"
"Yes... Ah, maybe I made a contract with Dain oppa and was released from the seal of the ring, huh... Since my brother died, I think I was sealed and trapped again... Ugh.."
"...ah."
Eunwol is sobbing while holding the ring with trembling hands, and Lee Ha-yul is looking at Eunwol in despair..
...Well, it means that the Death Knight has been sealed again. Because it was really like Dain dying without any chance of survival..
"No... Mr. Dain, no...."
Lee Soobin, who always led them calmly, has already lost his mind and sat down for a long time..
"...It's because of me, hmm... It's because of me. Ahhh..."
And next to her, Celeste was chewing her fingernails alone and muttering incomprehensible words with red eyes..
And at the kitchen table, Lee Seol-ah was silently drinking several bottles of wine that she brought from somewhere..
...The spirit is looking at their appearance with a mixed expression..
Literally, everyone looks broken, like a doll whose strings have been cut..
...In fact, they weren't particularly conscious of it, but.
These were all people who were very emotionally and spiritually maintained by Ego Stick..
In fact, it was the ego stick that saved their lives and gave them a gift..
Life without him is so much that I've never even imagined it..
Therefore, at the moment when it is clear that Egostick really died without even leaving a body behind,.
...They all collapsed.
To the point where I no longer have any meaning in life..
And at the moment they were doing that.
"...Everybody, what are you doing now?!!!"
There was someone who scolded them..
He had medium white hair and red eyes similar to the others. She's clearly still on her floor, yelling at everyone.
Han Seo-eun.
...Even though her voice is crying. I started telling everyone clearly.
"...Can I just cry like this? My dead brother is coming back...?!"
"Well then, what should we do?..."
"I have to look for it! Find a way to save your brother!! My brother must have prepared for a situation like this and left something behind... None of you have ever been to your room.?"
After saying that, I wiped my eyes with the sleeve of my hoodie..
Han Seo-eun shouted to everyone with a determined expression..
"First, let’s search your room first.."
"......"
like that.
A few minutes later, they were gathered in Dain's room..
Before long, I was really looking for something..
"Look! I found something here!!!"
"I really?"
which.
...Dain once recorded his knowledge of the original work..
After his death, he created a plan for those who remained to save the world..
It was an Egostream emergency response manual that was to be unsealed after Egostick's death..
"...! Look right now!!"
And they quickly gathered at the desk and started flipping through the diary..
So, I was able to see quite a lot of information.,
However, most of it is a story written in case Egostick himself dies during the main story..
I wrote down what the rest should do if Ego Stick died during the Moonlight Cult Battle, and what the rest should do if he died during the Great Prison Break....
It was a manual created to help the remaining people survive even in a world without him..
...And really, they weren't interested in that right now..
The last sun god has already been finished..
Because in the first place, they had no interest in a world without him..
They quickly turned the pages like that..
...Finally, I found something.
"...found! Sister, I found it....!!"
"what? really...?!!"
[How to bring the dead back to life.]
Yes.
In that manual, there was even information written on how to bring back the truly dead..
That sentence written in Egostick’s handwriting.
Those who saw those words were filled with hope, and soon began to read the page with trembling hands..
...Only then.
I was able to find something, something strange..
[first. How to save Stardust.]
[If Stardust is dead, that means the story has completely left the mainstream. Stardust is the hero who will save this world, so he must be saved. Here's how to save her life. first. As Stardust is a devotee of the Star God, her body would have perished upon her death. In this case, a wave occurs in the timeline....]
[second. How to save Moonlight Maiden Baek Eunwol.]
[If Baek Eun-wol died, it is highly likely that only her body disappeared and her soul went to the moon god. However, if she were to revive her, she would need a magic circle that would allow her to communicate with the moon god. The first ingredient is a substance called moonstone....]
[third. How to save Celeste.]
[Since Celeste is a devotee of the sun god, there is probably a way to save her. I don't know the exact method, but the following three methods are likely. First, using the holy relics of the sun god,...]
as soon as.
Stardust, Baek Eunwol, and Celeste are the method of reviving the dead. As a special case, only the story was told about these three people who were devoted to God..
And nowhere was there any talk about Egostick himself..
...At that, I felt anxious, my heart pounding. As they hastily turn the pages.
There at the end.
...Finally, the story they wanted was told..
Unlike before.
As if the egotist was talking right in front of their eyes..
in colloquial form.

[extra.]
[if i died.]
[Hmm... Maybe the fact that I'm reading this book in the first place means I'm dead? haha.]
[I don't know how on earth I died, but whatever. It must have been a worthwhile death, right? I hope so. Anyway, let me tell you the story..]
[First of all... I have to talk about the afterlife first. Souls exist in this world. In other words, the afterlife also exists. that's right. When a person dies, the place where their soul gathers is real. And this underworld is in charge of the moon god, the god of space..]
[However... the problem is that this underworld itself was created a very long time ago. Since it was built through the collaboration of three gods, it is probably impossible to enter or manage it. As far as I know, the Moon God only takes responsibility and leaves no details. In particular, no matter how you enter the afterlife, the souls of all people who have died up to this point are all gathered in one place, so it will be impossible to find a specific soul? No matter how the body is created with the power of God, finding the soul would be more difficult than finding a specific grain of sand on a sandy beach..]
[...And, I don't know if I've ever said this. I'm from another world, so I don't even know if my soul is in the afterlife of this world in the first place. haha.]
[So... you get it..]
[It's impossible to bring me back to life.]
[So, just forget about me. Everyone, live a new life. You guys have that power. Let's rely on each other, okay? 'Cause I believe in the power you have.]
[...Of course, it would be better if you never read this. haha.]
[Live well. ...got it? After defeating the Sun God, I hope we can burn this book and live our own lives. Because I want that. Can you grant my wish? I'll believe you.]
[Then... yeah. hi.]
*
"...ah."
After Egostick’s writing,.
...In the room, there was only heavy silence..
Then they realized.
Ego stick, it's impossible to come back.
At that time when overwhelming despair struck everyone..
"...no."
in front of the desk.
...A quiet, watery sound was heard..
"I could."
"...Seo Eun Ah?"
"Here, huh. You said this too, right? There is an afterlife. They say there is a soul there. So... I mean..."
Kuuk.
in front of the desk.
Han Seo-eun was there, clenching her fists with red eyes. In front of everyone who is in despair. She opened her mouth with words that felt sincere..
"Even if years, decades, or hundreds of years pass by. All we have to do is find her brother's soul. Even if my soul went to another world, then all I have to do is go to that other world and get my brother out...."
bang.
With those words, Han Seo-eun hit the desk in front of her..
Soon, looking at everyone. He declared with twinkling eyes.
"We can find it again. My brother."
that.
It was a confident statement..
