A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 80
EP.80 Omen of Doom
If you really think about this world, it’s a fucking world..
I thought about that as I looked out the window at the cities..
On the outside, it looks ordinary. Countless people moving busily between tall buildings. Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem to be any different from the world I lived in in my past life..
However, the reality is very different. Mainly in the damn direction.
Basically, from time to time, people are born who awaken to supernatural powers. But I don't know if this superpower is an appropriate ability. The problem is that there are some damn strong people out there..
Right now, Stardust alone could destroy dozens of buildings if it wanted to. So do others. It gets even worse when you go overseas. It is safe to say that almost all countries face the risk of destruction every month..
Of course, perhaps thanks to the balance of the world, things are going well thanks to the emergence of heroes who are stronger than most villains. In other words, without heroes, countries could not function properly. As a result, it is a world where the government's influence is greatly reduced compared to the association. The president is also a bit paranoid..
Are the villains the only problem? That's not all. As you can see from the Bank of Korea Group, large corporations also just turned around. The secret experiment is fundamental, and its rival, Yuseong Corporation, is also a black company controlling the Republic of Korea behind the scenes by putting pressure on the government and the association. Since the collapse of the Bank of Korea Group, they have been trying to take over Korea in earnest. Well, for me it is more profitable that way. In that case, I only have to control Lee Seol-ah..
Anyway, what I want to say is this. This world is not normal. People with superpowers are randomly causing terrorism, the government has no role to play and corporations are controlling it, and there are even gods and the afterlife, so it's not just chaos. I miss the peaceful old world.
"...."
I was still looking out the window and thinking.
What's funnier? This is very peaceful..
Now, stronger villains will appear, and the world will become more and more chaotic.
And Stardust alone will have to handle it all..
"Oppa, what on earth are you looking at all alone??"
"...no. Let's go now."
I was finally awakened from my thoughts by Seo-eun's words from next to me, and I turned my head again..
okay.
In the end, I have to stop all of this..

[Stardust!], the comic I possessed, is divided into four phases at random by fans..
Phase 1 features the growth of Stardust and some developments in everyday life. This is roughly the current time zone, and it is the most peaceful time..
And, the second phase unfolds in earnest after the Bank of Korea Group incident. From this point on, more and more villains begin to appear with stronger abilities..
And it is an event that fans called the beginning of Phase 2, and an event that confirms that this worldview is in fact a wasteland..
That is the case of the Bank of Korea invasion of Seoul..
People dying in a way that cannot be compared to the previous Behemoth incident, Stardust suffering from helplessness and guilt for not being able to stop it, the association and government creaking, and Seoul burning..
A terrifying incident in which Korea is destroyed, with the whole country being questioned about what the heroes have done up to this point.!
A city full of chaos! Shattered buildings and people! forest fires!
however...
You know I know that's gonna happen?
Bank of Korea Group, you’re screwed, kids..
A thrilling revenge story against the heroes of the original, a fierce oxidation?
There is no such thing, Seonwoo.!!
"Hehehehehe."
"Mr. Dain. You can't do this in a crowd of people...."
"brother..."
"Does he usually do this often??"
"brother...?"
On the way down from the observatory.
I smiled evilly without realizing it, and my companions continued to criticize me..
They're all saying it's good for you..
"...Whenever my brother smiles like that, it means he's plotting something evil.."
Only Seo-eun, who had been watching me for a long time, muttered with a disapproving expression..
It's evil.
I'm trying to save humanity, but I'm dying of injustice..
Of course, it would be a shameful thing for the Bank of Korea group, led by Kim Seon-woo..
***
Bank of Korea Group.
Korea's largest conglomerate was creating a friendly image externally, while behind the scenes it was plotting to rule the Republic of Korea by force..
They were secretly conducting illegal and inhumane human experiments and creating monsters, and their entire plot was discovered through the Behemoth incident..
As a result, the company went bankrupt and high-ranking executives, including the chairman, escaped overseas, but the researchers who conducted the experiment, led by Dr. Seon-Woo Kim, could not escape..
In the original work, Kim Seon-woo took over the Behemoth and fought against Stardust, but he was ultimately defeated and ran away..
In the end, the employees led by him realize that it is over for them, and they make a plan to blow one last big blow and see everyone die together before they all die..
That is the Bank of Korea Group invasion of Seoul..
And the way they chose to turn Seoul into a sea of fire is.
It was a huge weapon.
***
"therefore. In the near future, the Bank of Korea Group will make a last-ditch effort and invade Seoul at night with a giant robot.?"
"It's not a robot, it's a weapon, but anyway. okay."
"....."
Ego - conference room in the underground base.
Seo-eun, Subin, and the new members Choi Se-hee and Hayul. Where everyone was gathered, I spoke up..
"...What exactly is a giant weapon??"
"It looks like a huge mountain range, and has a slightly octopus-like feel, with a body made of hemispheres and long steel limbs attached...."
"No, wait, wait."
Choi Se-hee, who was listening to my story, stopped talking and asked me with an expression of confusion..
"A giant weapon will soon invade Seoul? how do you know that?"
"I know everything except what I don't know."
"no. What is it...."
Choi Se-hee raised her eyes and looked at me as if I was puzzled, but I just smiled..
They say a man with a lot of secrets is attractive. maybe.
"Anyway, our plan is to capture that giant weapon.."
"That? how?"
"What should I do? We can just teleport to the control panel, beat up all the kids, and then we'll be done.."
"It's that easy?"
"What else is difficult??"
Just as a human being dies when his brain dies, a large weapon also dies if its cockpit is taken away..
"...But didn't they know that in advance and prepare for it??"
"Of course I did it."
To be precise, we prepared for Shadow Walker, who can teleport anywhere, only in the evening..
I simply coated it with an anti-dark substance extracted from the Behemoth and stopped it from coming..
Let me explain this, Choi Se-hee looks puzzled..
"....you? You're teleporting?"
"me? Of course I wouldn't even consider it.."
"why?"
"That's because I'm not a hero, I'm just a villain...?"
"ah."
She made an idiotic sound as if she had finally realized it. No, what on earth are you looking at me for??
"Mr. Dain. But is that machine that powerful? You can't just fire off a few bombs.?"
"No."
I shook my head and denied it..
It's not just a weapon. In the original, it is so overwhelmingly large that it makes the viewer say, 'I can't stop that thing'. It's a truly amazing object that doesn't even have a scratch no matter what it's made of or what's fired at it..
It's not for nothing that it was called the final boss of Phase 1 in the original. Are you saying it's just overwhelming? It is no match for anything Stardust has faced up to this point. Truly the ultimate king.
In the end, I gave up even after defeating Stardust..
After explaining to everyone how powerful, overwhelming, and amazing this thing is, I ended with one sentence:.
"And that, I'm just gonna gulp it down."
I smiled evilly without realizing it while saying that..
okay. What was my goal in this world?.
To Stardus, let’s only give him trials he can handle..
And this is definitely not something she can handle.
then.
Wouldn’t it be okay if I personally reformed it into a bearable ordeal??
"It's probably going to happen this week, so let's all prepare in advance. Especially Choi Se-hee, you are coming with me.."
I said so and made a plan..
A golden opportunity to securely end the Bank of Korea Group and grow Stardust as well..
Especially the Bank of Korea group, including Kim Seon-woo..
I really wonder what their facial expressions will be like if what they were so prepared for as a final blow fails like shit..
Hahahahaha.
****
somewhere deep in the countryside.
Bank of Korea Group Secret Base Sector C.
In the middle of the underground, so deep that the end was unknown, countless people were moving around busily..
Everyone's skin and bones were so thin that they had not even washed, so it was really hot..
Their eyes are burning with a mysterious venom.
While they were busy moving around in white robes, a man was crossing them and heading somewhere..
He appears to be the oldest among them..
The most tired of them all.
A man whose eyes are the best, burning with a venom that seems to chew anyone to death..
He was the general manager of the Bank of Korea Group's Behemoth project..
I'm being pressured by the directors, and I'm staying in Korea..
Dr. Sunwoo Kim.
He spit out his words to the researcher who was busy following him..
"so. The final inspection has been completed?"
"Yes, doctor. Now all you have to do is sortie."
"i see."
The place he arrived at after walking like that was.
An empty public hall of overwhelming size that looks as if a huge city had been turned vertically and placed underground..
And, filling that place.
The vertical length is several times that of a skyscraper, and the horizontal length is like a huge mountain range..
A final masterpiece created solely for destruction, collapse, and chaos, created by the Bank of Korea Group using their last spark..
It was Project Octopass, a weapon created for destruction..
"Okay... finally. It's finally made."
Kim Seon-woo, who saw that, gritted his teeth and muttered..
Then, unable to control his excitement, he immediately shouted at all the employees..
"All employees listen!!!"
A destructive voice that fills this large auditorium..
The researcher next to me quickly set up a microphone next to him, and his voice was heard throughout the facility..
His voice echoed underground..
"How much have we sacrificed so far for the Bank of Korea Group and for the development of the country?!"
"The people who criticize and criticize us for dedicating ourselves only to a better world! What have you done for this country?!"
"How are they oppressing us who tried to create a new history of humanity through evolution, and are they now trying to purge us?!"
"This rotten country is no longer needed.!"
"Now we do! Take this hateful country into our own hands! Wouldn’t creating a sea of fire be our last calling?!"
"we are tomorrow!"
He spit out his last words as if chewing them up with a burning look in his eyes..
"destroy Seoul."
As his speech ended, cheers rang out from all around him. tuning. Sea of fire. fall. anger.
Amid all the noise, he quietly closed his eyes..
okay. right tomorrow.
In his hands, Seoul will finally realize what the end is..
***
"So, what's the plan to steal that weapon??"
"Go to the cockpit and hit the guy who operates it with a monkey wrench. end. Then it's ours now."
"...It's that easy.?"
"uh."
It's so easy?
