The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 176
176fury
The Hell Master who dealt with Heinrich arrived at the location where Argos and Black Hound were and raised his hand in welcome..
“yo. this! Al, how have you been??”
Argos's expression brightened when he saw him, and the black hound remained blunt..
But there was a friendship between them that lasted over 30 years..
“How was Sean??”
“Since you've been doing well, you'll be able to face it safely like this, right? Hey Heinz. What is that look on your face when you meet a friend you haven’t seen in a while?.”
“I'm still holding my breath.”
“Is that something you would say to a friend??”
“There's nothing you can't do.”
Hell Master clicked his tongue at the dissatisfied shout..
“Anyway, there's nothing you can't do. Al, you should have taught your subordinate well. Not when she's smiling.”
Argos smiled and shook his head..
“The joke about Heinz being your subordinate is too much..”
“Why are you like this, when you get hit by a subordinate?.”
“If I am rich, you are also rich..”
“No, I'm a friend. you are subordinate.”
The black hound frowned..
“Are you using it because you want to die??”
“Yes, even if I do, I won’t die from you..”
“Should I give it a try?.”
“oh! I guess my skills have improved a bit in the meantime.?”
“…….”
Argos felt at ease as he watched Black Hound and Hell Master bickering. He was able to stand where he is now because he had two strong friends. He also said that the league was able to get to where it is now because of these two people..
In the midst of an argument, the Hell Master saw Argos smiling and was disgusted..
“Hey, don't make that face..”
“Now I can do it just by looking at it.?”
“You can't just keep it to yourself.?”
“It's because I'm happy.”
“I can't watch it.”
Blackhound added the words of the Hell Master that made him shudder..
“I agree with Sean this time..”
“okay. Then let’s talk about work..”
The three, called the Three Evils of the League, are the ones who first founded the League and are members of the Ten Superhumans, the strongest superhumans in the world..
It was possible to destroy most powerful countries with just their presence..
When we got to the point, both Black Hound and Hell Master had serious expressions..
“Heinrich?”
“I took care of it. Since he is a picky guy, I gave him a gift..”
“then?”
“I'm leaving again.”
“This time I want to go in together..”
“Even though I know it's impossible.”
Hell Master said playfully, but Black Hound shook his head and said.
“Even if the gift cannot be activated, no one doubts your power..”
“It's because I'm not satisfied.”
“…….”
The Hell Master spoke as if comforting the silent Argos..
“I found some traces, so I'll get to them soon..”
“we can help.”
“Are there just one or two people aiming for that? If I don't find it myself, someone will swallow it in the middle.?”
“So you can find it?”
“Uh, I guess I'll find out soon.”
The Hell Master said with confidence..
“Remnants of the Divine Beast.”
The power left behind by the existence of a divine beast. Argos obtained it and gained immortal power. The remnants of the Divine Beast, which allows one to far surpass human limitations, can completely erase the side effects of the Hell Master's gift..
Argos was the one who knew its power better than anyone else..
“I hope you find it.”
“I will find it. The problem is people who act too quickly when things are going well. But I can't not come when my friend calls me..”
“I would have gotten through the crisis just fine without you..”
“Even if I help, I hear they don't need it.”
“I'm just telling the truth.”
“Yeah, you're great.”
“anyway.”
Hell Master asked Black Hound with a displeased expression..
“That eunuch guy.?”
“right.”
“As soon as the gift limit goes away, I'll have to kill that eunuch. Everything is so annoying..”
“Sean, I hope that day comes soon..”
“I'll try. Oh, and. They say there are people who are more picky than a eunuch.?”
Argos and Black Hound's gaze turned to the Hell Master..
“Headbreaker, it's a good decision not to join him. You shouldn't interact with crazy people..”
“Heinz, please convince me..”
“okay.”
The grinning Hell Master said to Black Hound:.
“Since you are weaker, don't rub in on me and wait until I get the remains of the Divine Beast. Because the time to go on a rampage will come soon.”
“…Before that, I want to kill you first..”
“Oh my, I'm so scared. I'm so scared that I run away. Al, see you later.!”
With those words, the Hell Master left his seat..
asked the black hound, who had been watching him until he disappeared completely..
“Do you think Sean’s gift will be completed??”
“As long as you get the remains of the Divine Beast. No one will be able to avoid the absolute death that will come without restrictions..”
“but. No matter how monster you are, death is inevitable..”
If only I could kill Headbreaker.
Argos also nodded his head in agreement at Black Hound's muttering..

To be honest, I think world domination and world domination are empty illusions..
Are you going to dominate the world, which is so vast that even in this small country, Korea, there is no comparison even when considering region or origin? Just planting a flag doesn't do it all.
The League, like Argos, was struggling under absurd delusions, and was nothing more than a collection of villains committing crimes..
Are you going to conquer the world with them? It was a sound that would destroy the world, which was on the verge of recovery against monsters..
Still, I had high hopes for the party's ability to once dominate world affairs..
Because it is closely related to the United States, it was believed that it could still achieve results based on its powerful influence..
However, what I heard from Maxim Geddes fell far short of expectations..
-Failed. have no shame.
“Are the league kids that strong??”
-strong. It was unfortunate that I didn't know how to summon all my strength at the critical moment..
Shouldn’t we assume that from the beginning??
How confident are you??
Now that I think about it, what James Reed said comes to mind. It is said that the party has a structure that makes it difficult to unite as one as it gathers to protect vested interests..
I thought it would be right to see Maxim Geddes as a failure even though he tried to do everything he could..
“I guess the party is inferior in power to the league.?”
-It's true that we have more to lose..
Maxim Guedes' story was that there are bound to be differences between a league that mobilizes all its might and a party that tries to protect its vested interests..
In the end, it's nothing more than an excuse to cover up one's incompetence..
“It doesn't matter because I didn't have high expectations from the beginning..”
-Next time I will bring satisfactory results.
“It's possible?”
-Of course.
“I'm not looking forward to it.”
I just finished speaking with Maxim Geddes..
“How is it?”
“Was it something I could hear??”
“It doesn't matter. You're helping me with my work, so you need to know the details..”
“yes.”
Jin Se-jeong, who was listening from the side, made a simple comment..
“The Lion King's desire to destroy the League is sincere..”
“I'm sure it's sincere.”
“Yes, but do the members of that party feel the same??”
“That means?”
“If the party represents vested interests, the presence of an enemy who can create a reasonable amount of tension is very useful. They can shift responsibility and rationalize even if they use illegal means..”
Maxim Geddes and the party may not have the same thoughts, and while his goal is the destruction of the League, the party's goal is most likely to weaken the League..
That sounds plausible..
I remember when I was a hematogen, some politicians passed several laws to control the awakened..
So should we consider the party as a potential enemy??
“I think it's enough to empower the Lion King..”
“Is that okay?.”
“Yes, and you don't care..”
“That's it?”
Jin Se-jeong nodded..
“Currently, the East Asian powers have been wiped out of the league, and the only reason the powers overlap is because of the party. I think it's best to watch and sometimes give a little help and be condescending..”
That meant I had to do what I had to do..
I like that better too..
“And you've found a new way to strengthen your influence, right? I think it's better to focus more on that..”
Since I had the same thought, I nodded in agreement..
* * *
Meeting Wu Aye Cho gave me several realizations..
First of all, I can't live a life like that..
As a hero, being willing to sacrifice everything for the country and people is worth respecting, but it was far from what I was pursuing..
I thought I couldn't live like that.
Should I say that the species are different??
However, because I wanted to support him, I did him a favor..
In that process, I was able to think about what role I could play and decide on a method..
Because there are things I can contribute in my own way..
It's a superhuman strengthening project..
I strengthen the superhumans who come to me through individual interviews. Through that process, I will expand my influence both at the same time and at the same time..
As there are superhumans who struggle even if their skills are lacking, strengthening their capabilities will directly lead to strengthening my influence..
When I mentioned this idea to James Reed, he readily agreed..
“That's a good method. But you don't like parties or America.”
“Should I act based on what they think??”
“but…….”
James Reed nodded obediently, saying it was a stupid question. Then, he encouraged me by saying that strengthening the capabilities of relatively underdeveloped people in Asia would produce good results..
Why does it feel like saying goodbye?
Sure enough, James Reed hesitated before saying goodbye..
“Junho, I’m going back to America..”
“Is it because of a conflict with this league??”
“Many people died. Just watching from afar isn't my thing..”
That's not wrong. Although James Reed's brain was lacking, I couldn't stop him from doing so because of his will..
“I'm sorry I couldn't go after finishing the boost..”
“They said it was hard.”
James Reed nodded..
“It's something that eats away at human vitality. Even if you use it just once, you will suffer severe aftereffects, and if you use it three times, your life will be at risk..”
In the end, boost research ended there. In the first place, he said that there was no point in further research because it was about amplifying power based on vitality..
I thought it was a league-like item that disregards human life, and that it was a good item for strengthening power in a short period of time..
After hearing those words, I was able to let go of my regrets..
“Thank you for your hard work. It was very helpful.”
“Sorry for not being of much help..”
“I even have to feel sorry.”
I pressed James Reed down to use his brain, but I had no intention of asking him to make the impossible possible..
Instead, I got help..
And I'm not one to forget help.
“Thank you for your hard work. If you want, I'll help you sometime.”
“really?”
“uh.”
“Even if I ask for help from America?”
“uh.”
“Yes, really?”
“Then should I say it twice?.”
“and! I was really surprised.”
hmm.
210It was very burdensome to see cm's middle-aged white man being so moved..
…Well, if you like it, that's okay..
James Reed looked brighter and said with a smile..
“Junho has changed a lot since the beginning..”
“I?”
“Yeah, I pester you a lot.!”
“is it?”
“At first, he was an invincible villain. A villain more fearsome than the League.!”
This little guy did me a favor and started a fight?
If you were talking about being born to be a villain like Argos and all that, I thought they would give you some training to commemorate your return, but something completely different came out..
“It's much softer now.”
“suddenly?”
“I kept thinking about it. To Junho, that's the right thing to do..”
That's something I can't refute..
I also think that I am changing. Choi Jun-ho, who vaguely wanted to become stronger, became a hematoma due to his reckless greed for power, and was making progress as a superhuman one by one while being careful not to go crazy..
“It's nice to see it.”
That's a good thing.
So James Reed returned to America, and I took the dog with me to hunt some monsters..
But it seems like the puppy is growing a lot faster these days..
[I guess he was confident that he wouldn't be abandoned by his owner..]
It got to the point where I thought I might not be able to go home later..
bruise!
That's not what a dog is. If so, I'm glad.
Then I received unexpected news..
Upon arriving in Myanmar, U Aye Cho called me his benefactor and declared that he would inherit the good influence I had given him and help bring peace to the world..
Coincidentally, three days after U Aye Cho returned to Myanmar, a level 8 monster attacked, and he succeeded in hunting the monster with even more overwhelming inaction than before..
U Aye Cho told the press that the reason was his meeting with me..
Although it was an achievement he achieved through his own hard work, he also enjoyed the publicity effect by mentioning my name..
Well, for a superhuman without a gift, there won't be as dramatic an effect as opening the gift..
Even if you are not able to unlock your gift, being able to know your potential gift is a great help in setting the direction for your future training..
Confidence in yourself gives you mental stability.
Cheon Myeong-guk, who came to see me, also asked about the reason..
“Oh, did you actually tell Jo about the gift??”
“yes.”
“also.”
“Is that the end??”
“That's right.”
“I thought you would say I did something pointless..”
“no. I think that the cause embraced by the Adept is very healthy and excellent. It's a favor that no other superhuman could ever give..”
To hear such high praise from Cheon Myeong-guk, I don't know what to do..
“However, what I want to ask is whether this favor will be directed only to Uzo, or to other superhumans as well..”
“It looks like you're getting a lot of inquiries..”
“It's hard to do work because I'm busy answering calls..”
According to Cheon Myeong-guk, inquiries from adepts from all over the world are flooding in..
It's no wonder that superhumans turn their eyes upside down to become stronger..
“As the threat from monsters is getting stronger, we plan to increase the number of seats for the level 9 test to strengthen the capabilities of superhumans..”
“Are you serious??”
“Wow, I felt a lot after seeing Jjo. I'm trying to believe in human good will for once..”
Because I learned that not all humans are evil..
What I also felt with Dahyun Jeong, I became convinced after watching Jjo at Woo Aye..
However, I do not have the absurd idea that everyone is good..
“I respect you. If there is anything I can do to help, I will actively help..”
“thank you.”
This is my first time receiving such a look from Cheon Myeong-guk..
I think this is why people should do good things.
“Then, let’s coordinate the schedule..”
“yes.”
Here, I said that I would leave the matter of selecting superhumans to Cheon Myeong-guk..
He believed in me and saw my willingness to work hard, so I left it to him, but for some reason, Cheon Myeong-guk's expression wasn't bright..
Jin Se-jeong said this would be a great privilege.?
“I thought about tormenting me from all directions so that I could not live or die..”
“Then should I ask someone else??”
“no. The government should be in the middle so there won't be any noise. I'll take care of it.”
“I also trust Director Cheon the most..”
“yes.”
Cheon Myeong-guk said that if he left this to someone else, he would be 100% in trouble..
Can corruption occur with just this? If corruption occurs, you can just smash the person's head, but I thought it was too complicated..
Well, it would be best if no one gets their head broken..
“It's a good thing, so I'll be happy to cooperate. So, is there anything you would like to know about scheduling??”
“Wouldn't it be nice to have a place where we can interact with our country? It would be good if the country in question has a friendly stance..”
“Of course.”
“That's it..”
“What concerns me is the morality of superhumans..”
The reason why Cheon Myeong-guk speaks carefully is that if the superhuman is alone or in a country where there is no superhuman, it is difficult to say that the superhuman's morality is good by saying good things..
Wow, it was such a rare case..
I’m prepared for that too..
“It doesn't matter.”
“Is that true?”
“yes. It's too much to expect everyone to be as pure and innocent as Woo..”
I'm willing to turn a blind eye to it as long as it's moderately washed up..
Wouldn't that allow you to think that you are properly seasoned and catch a big fish?.
Everyone is not hard on themselves but lenient..
“It's disposable, but wouldn't it be nice if a villain-level superhuman thought he was qualified and voluntarily came to catch him??”
“Well, what do you mean by that?.”
“I am taking my own precautions. The manager should know this too..”
I'm not a pushover, and I'm not saying that my sense of justice will suddenly explode and that I'll make the world better..
“When a superhuman visits, I plan to write a contract..”
“If it's a contract?”
“It's a kind of A/S contract..”
Not all superhumans will be able to open their gifts and adapt perfectly. It was a contract for that..
Why don't you get consent for that surgery?.
It's similar to that..
“Superhuman. I think this has a different intention..”
As expected, I couldn’t fool Cheon Myeong-guk..
“Of course, this is a superficial reason, and don't people feel different when they go into the bathroom and when they come out? It's A/S for that..”
For example, it could be like this.
If a superhuman who had been moderately influenced by the world until then opens the gift and his behavior changes to that of a villain,?
Wouldn’t I be the person who unlocked the gift of a guy who was more vicious than the villain?.
Since this happened because of me, of course I have to provide after-sales service..
“I must reap the seeds I sow..”
“Cho, Choin, what you are saying right now is…….”
Cheon Myeong-guk’s face turned pale. I guess my intentions were conveyed correctly..
“Oh, you don't have to worry too much. All superhumans just need to have the original intention..”
Just as I am maintaining my initial intention of not going crazy, wouldn't it be the easiest thing to maintain my original intention??
I gave Cheon Myeong-guk a soft smile to make him feel at ease..
