The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 402
402fury
After Yongyong left and I was left alone, I finally had time to think alone..
I pretended not to, but I knew that Yongyong knew that I could hide what I was thinking and that he was trying hard to read it..
No matter how close humans and gods become, there are bound to be differences and incomprehensibility that come from species differences..
In particular, Yongyong was anxious about dealing with Shinsoo..
“Does it seem like he thinks of Shinsu as his enemy?.”
If you look at it differently, it wasn't a wrong idea..
Shinsoo considers himself noble and treats those who are not of his own race as lesser creatures..
That can be seen as natural, but the problem arises in the way they accept my existence, which can threaten them..
Yongyong and Hyuna tried to attract me as an ally by treating me as an equal, but the other gods were not convinced of my existence and tried to destroy me..
I think that attempt will continue in the future..
I need to become stronger here.
Even if it appears to be hostile to Shinsoo, I have no intention of stopping..
I think Yongyong and Hyuna should understand this part..
decisively.
“What if you don't understand??”
It was because of that kind of thinking that I was able to move forward strongly..
Because my biggest enemy right now was Shinsu..
“by the way.”
I laughed, remembering what I saw in the Hermit Sage's lab..
I never thought what Yunhee said was true..
“It was all just a matter of bad luck.”
In my last life, I was a truly insignificant person before I gained blood feeding. As such people were given opportunities and gained strength, they thought of themselves as special..
But in reality, it was nothing more than a power given by the whim of the divine beast..
Yeah, there really was no reason..
I was just fortunate enough to be given this opportunity by meeting the conditions set by the hermit sage..
“It must be funny to try to give it meaning in the first place..”
No matter how hard I tried to ignore it, the truth had already been revealed. The blood feeding I obtained was a product created by the divine beast, and the blood species was given to me and born based on my personality. And then, as I fell intoxicated with power, it took over my body and committed senseless slaughter..
There is nothing to add or take away from this..
It's just disappointing that that's all the truth I wanted to know..
Rather, it is more shocking that Heungjong's ego was born based on my ego..
“Isn’t he a hermit sage??”
I thought about the case of instant fraud, but no matter how much I thought about it, I came to the conclusion that it couldn't happen..
It would have been a relief to my heart if I had at least gotten my revenge..
If I thought about it more, I felt like I would come to the conclusion that I was abnormal, so I changed direction..
“The problem is God.”
What stands before me is a self-proclaimed god..
This guy, who mercilessly abandons his colleagues and does anything for his own purposes, came closer to me without me knowing..
There are no direct conflicting elements, but it is felt instinctively..
The greed of the self-proclaimed god will not stop here and will move to have what I have. All that remains ahead is a collision..
“I guess I should get rid of it.”
Actually, it was a problem that did not need to be considered for a long time..

After returning to Seoul, I headed to the Blue House at the request of Cheon Myeong-guk..
This time, he succeeded in eluding the reporters and went inside with the guidance of Jeong Da-hyun..
“There is a big problem happening in America right now..”
“Why is America?”
Is it because of something I did? After hearing from Herbert that it wouldn't be a problem. Personally, I think it was handled well without causing any major noise..
Then it must be something else..
“They say a real god has appeared.”
“real god?”
“Yes, God..”
My steps stopped at the appearance of a name I couldn't pass up..
Jeong Da-hyeon, who was walking side by side, also stopped and looked at me with a puzzled gaze..
“What's wrong?”
“Tell me more about that god.”
“The President will explain. Let me tell you a simple story first..”
Meanwhile, the story Dahyun Jeong told was simple..
It is said that religion infiltrated Europe by taking advantage of the confusion caused by the recent power struggle in the United States and the mass heart attack incident among senators and representatives..
It was accepted without resistance as it was a form in which several natural doctrines were added to the existing religion, but the point where the problem arose was the 'miracle' that occurred in that religion..
As people heard the gospel of God directly, the influence of religion expanded like a fire, reaching a level that threatened the existing order in the United States..
I thought it was just a trend, but what I received was different..
“The problem is that the state's control is collapsing by prioritizing religion..”
“Is it a bit more strengthened than the existing religion??”
“Because there is an entity called God..”
“So follow what God says.”
“That's right.”
Do you not follow the country's rule of law and act freely according to your religious beliefs? It was true that it was an emergency situation..
“The reality is that Shinsu takes over the church and calls himself God..”
Cheon Myeong-guk assured me so..
Since it was accurate information, I nodded in agreement..
“you're right.”
“As expected, you knew..”
I just shrugged my shoulders at the strange nuance..
Cheon Myeong-guk didn't ask any more questions and got straight to the point..
“What do you think is the purpose of that divine beast??”
“You will become a complete god..”
“perfect god?”
“Shinsoo is the closest thing to a god, but he is not a god..”
“That's something I agree with as well. Each divine beast has a different personality and many accidents have occurred accordingly. But they are also living creatures and have limits. But what does it mean to try to become a god?…….”
“I mean this literally. He wants to rule the world and be reborn as a more perfect being than he is now..”
“What benefit is there in that?.”
“well.”
There is no way for me to know that far. However, looking at the actions of the self-proclaimed god so far, the purpose is clear..
He's like a cunning villain with a clear purpose. Therefore, I think that we should look at it thoroughly from the villain's perspective without expecting the mistakes that divine beasts often make..
The difference is that it has an extremely strong body, long lifespan, and overwhelming strength..
In terms of villains, he's close to perfection..
“What's clear is that he won't accept my presence..”
It's the same for me too.
“…….”
Cheon Myeong-guk had a serious expression and muttered God several times..
“If the other party's goal is the collapse of the national system and human domination, peaceful coexistence will be difficult..”
“Is there a good way?.”
“doesn't exist. The fact that Shinsoo calls himself a god is a sign that he sees humanity as something to ultimately dominate. No disagreement can be raised here..”
I agree with you about the impossibility of compromise..
However, just mentioning coexistence meant that Cheon Myeong-guk was leaving open other possibilities..
I quickly folded it up.
“And Sir Franz's advice also played a role in this regard..”
“Did the inspiration contact you??”
“He said Choin called him out of the blue and swore for over an hour..”
If you're going to do something, do it to me. Don't gossip about other people..
It's also a terrible inspiration..
“I need to take good care of it when it comes..”
“…Please bear with that. Not only is Sir Franz old, but there is no one in Europe with whom he can communicate better..”
“Come and talk to us and we will decide..”
“yes please.”
In addition, Cheon Myeong-guk explained the phenomenon currently occurring in Europe..
Since he originally had a close cooperation system with the saint, he also knew a lot about the self-proclaimed god. If you listen to what was conveyed there, it is said that much of God's revelation is aimed at me..
“God may have been working on getting rid of the Adept for a long time..”
“What I'm doing is lousy..”
“ha ha ha. It is said to be a revelation from God, but only a superhuman can say that..”
Cheon Myeong-guk looked genuinely happy..
“When Sir Franz comes this time, he will need to get a lot of information. If he has been seeing the self-proclaimed god in Europe for a long time, he will be able to tell you in more detail than anyone else..”
“You may have already become a minion..”
“I'm praying that's not the case.”
What would it be like? I wasn't sure about that part either..
Franz may have been playing along with the self-proclaimed God's plan as he led the European Union, but on the other hand, he may have been playing a role of keeping things in check while hindering them..
But would the self-proclaimed god be lenient on such opposition??
Me and Cheon Myeong-guk were negative about that part..
It would be best to see it in person and talk about it..

Franz came to Korea a week after I contacted him..
In the meantime, I took care of the work first, handed it over to the people in charge of the work, and then arrived at Incheon Airport..
Incheon, which was originally a den of villains, disappeared after repeated sweeps, and the existing airport facilities were restored to allow numerous foreigners to enter and exit..
“This place is improving every day. So much so that it reminds me of the past..”
After moving comfortably from the airport to Seoul, Franz looked around with a new expression of emotion..
“isn't it germany?”
“It's not easy because we don't have superhumans like you. I still have to be nervous when dealing with plus stage monsters, and I'm busy making plans for when the plus stage appears..”
Recently, I heard that the European Union killed a two-horned monster that appeared in Lithuania..
It's a huge improvement compared to the days when we had to suffer helplessly without even being able to touch Draculea..
“That's a lot better..”
“Not enough. Monsters grow fast, but not us..”
I felt like he was referring to me, but I guess there's no reason to react..
Franz, who was looking at the improved view of Seoul with envious eyes, headed to the Blue House with me..
After having dinner with the president there and having a normal conversation, he left the Blue House with me..
Franz, who had been smiling publicly until then, wiped his smile and got straight to the point..
“It must be because of God that you called me.”
“you're right.”
“Since when did it start? I learned that the existence of God actually originated from a divine tree..”
“This is from the time of the Draculea hunt..”
“…You're way ahead of me. At the time, I was only suspicious. Haha, even if I figured it out, it was too late. So it ended up looking like this.”
I could sense something had happened in Franz's bitter smile..
“What do you mean it's late?.”
“Everything. The will of God is already reaching all of Europe..”
The self-proclaimed god, borrowing the power of religion, created his own support force by performing miracles with saints at the head. It was enough to threaten Franz, who was firmly established as a hero in Europe, and soon surpassed him completely..
Perform miracles without expecting anything in return. There is no better way to captivate people than that..
It is said that by the time Franz felt that something was wrong, he had already reached the point of no return..
But that's a European problem.
I looked at Franz and asked.
“How are you??”
“me? Me?.”
“That's right.”
Did Franz survive the wave of fanaticism??
“I am also a servant of God.”
