355 – Reunion

There’s a saying that there’s a rule like this.

Before a major accident occurs, dozens of medium-sized accidents happen, and hundreds of small accidents occur.

And in the hero comic [Stardust!], a similar rule applies.

Part 4, represented by the advent of the Sun God.

In the original story, the Sun God doesn’t suddenly appear, but from Part 3, there are hints that something big will happen, from the person who fulfills their wishes to the advent of angels.

The last event of Part 3 related to the Sun God is codenamed Leviathan.

Giant translucent dragons appear simultaneously all over the world, startling people.

Thanks to their translucency, they don’t actually cause any harm. Their bodies are made of light, allowing objects to pass through.

However, people who entered them complained of dizziness and became a bit strange. Well, if left alone, they would disappear on their own, but if a hero attacked them, they would shoot breaths, which was a minor problem.

Anyway, I decided to defeat such a creature.

I didn’t think I had to step in, but there was an item I had to get from it.

So, in the blue sky above,

Wearing a familiar mask and cape, I watched the monster’s appearance from among the clouds.

“Wow… it’s really huge.”

In the middle of downtown Seoul,

As I looked at the long dragon, Leviathan, swimming on the ground as if it were a sea, I clicked my tongue.

With its translucent body, emitting pastel-colored lights all over, the giant floated above the ground.

It wasn’t a joke; it was really huge, like what I saw in the original story. Much bigger than the monster of destruction that appeared during the Moonlight Bridge incident. Maybe it was because it was so long.

Looking at it, I glanced at the news screen and chat window displayed on the left side of my mask.

[Ha… what is this now?]

[Breaking news – A giant rainbow-colored dragon appears in Seoul ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[I’m inside this dragon’s body right now, and besides being a bit dizzy, I’m fine? Trying to escape for now]

[What the hell, all kinds of things are happening in this country]

[This is all because we lost the Mango Stick… As the mango disappears, the country gets hit with bad luck instead]

[Ha, if we had the Ego Stick, it would have come running right away in situations like this… I miss you, GOAT…]

[I can only trust Stardust for now]

[There’s a chance that Ego Stick might make a surprise appearance, so let’s keep a close eye on the skyㅇㅇ]

The only reason I was watching this broadcast was to prevent any unfortunate incidents where I might be caught on a helicopter camera from a broadcasting station and reveal my appearance.

To be honest, if my appearance were to be revealed, it would likely cause a commotion… For now, hiding seems to be the best option. Well, even if I were discovered, it wouldn’t be a big problem.

‘Anyway…’

Today, Stardust was planning to go and see it anyway.

With that thought in mind, I flew through the sky and moved.

First and foremost, I had to defeat that monster.

I could have wondered how I would defeat the monster, but… I had a plan.

With that thought, I flew high in the sky and headed towards the top of the dragon’s head.

“…..”

From the front, the dragon had a bizarre appearance with several donut-shaped eyes lined up along the side.

The overall appearance of the dragon was transparent, but only one part was not.

The gem embedded in its forehead was a solid object, not transparent.

‘…That’s it.’

One of the Sun God’s illusion dragons, the gem that brings Leviathan to life.

Like the Moon God’s moonstone, the gem contained the pure power of the Sun God.

…Well, actually, it wasn’t that important; it just made you a little stronger if you had it.

Anyway, I needed it, and I planned to take it with me this time.

…It was absolutely not because I wanted to meet Stardust after six months and used it as an excuse. Yeah.

“Let’s give it a try anyway.”

“I said that and then flew towards the monster’s head, laughing.

As I approached, the dragon showed signs of discomfort.

…But maybe because I was too small or weak, it didn’t show much vigilance.

And at that opportunity, I successfully approached the spot where the monster’s jewel was located.

After that, it was quick and easy.

Usually, this kind of thing should be done quickly.

“Hup!”

I raised my hand like that and put in my fighting spirit.

In the original comic, [Stardust!]

The way the villain was dealt with there was very simple.

The jewel on the dragon’s head is the pure power of the sun god.

The power of the star god is in opposition to the sun god.

Therefore, if you hit it with the power of stars, the jewel will be destroyed in one hit!

With this logical structure, Stardust easily defeated the monster.

So, this means that I, who also received the power of the star god, can easily destroy this kind of jewel…!

With that thought in mind,

I gathered telekinesis in my hand, and made the power of stars reside in it.

And at the same time.

Bang-

I struck my hand down on the jewel and applied my strength.

“Huuh…!”

At the same time, my arm started to surge with power like it was on fire, like crazy.

As if my hand knew what it was touching right now, the power within my body began to flow into it.

And as I watched that happen, I instinctively felt it.

Finally, my true power of the stars is awakening…! Is this the awakening event that only the protagonist experiences?

Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

With the roaring scream of the burning-headed monster,

In the pain that felt like my hand was being torn off,

Centered around my hand.

Hwaaaaaaa

A bright yellow light began to shine, just like Stardust.

Yes, this is it!

I’m finally awakening my power…! Look at this glorious yellow light. This is it…!

It was when I was thinking that.

Suddenly the light coming from my hand began to darken.

“Kueuk…?”

As I held my hand on the jewel with my other arm,

The light centered around my hand.

Goooooooooooooo”

For some reason, it was not yellow, but a sinister black, like my clothes, that was being emitted.

So, if Stardust’s fist contained yellow light, my fist contained black light.

‘…What the hell is this?’

Did they match the concept because I’m the villain?

No, oh god. I prefer the radiant yellow color. It’s a bit difficult if you suddenly change the color as you please.

Of course, my wish did not come true.

Kuaaaaaaaaaaaa!

With a scream like that.

Paching-

As soon as the gem broke,

The monster’s body shattered like glass.

“Kugh…!”

In the midst of its collapse,

I hurriedly fell and rushed to pick up the broken gem that fell to the ground, catching it mid-air.

Whether it was due to the combination of my black power and its rainbow-colored smoke, my arm was covered in sticky substances.

“Haah…”

The transparent silver gem fragment that came into my hand with great effort.

I put it in my pocket and struggled to get up in mid-air.

“Phew.”

…There were some minor issues during the process, but I managed to defeat the monster and obtain the gem.

Now, all that’s left is to talk to Stardust.

…At this rate, with all the commotion caused, it seems like she will be here soon.

Thinking of meeting her after such a long time,

It makes me a little nervous.

I was trying to clean the sticky stuff off my arm when,

‘…..!’

Suddenly,

From behind me, someone’s gaze.

…A very familiar gaze was felt.

“Phew… Ah.”

As I let out a sigh and shook off my arm,

I slowly turned my head.

And there,

“Uh…?”

In the blue sky, a woman with flowing blonde hair.

…The person I like the most, who I haven’t seen for as long as half a year.

Stardust was,

Looking at me with trembling eyes that seemed unbelievable.

And then,

‘….Huff.’

Was it because I hadn’t seen her for so long?

For a moment, I was breathless from her overwhelming beauty, and I tried to calm my trembling heart by forcing a smile and opening my mouth.

“Haah… This thing is really sticky. I had a hard time dealing with it. Haha.”

“Ah…”

At my words.

Still not believing, she answered with a trembling voice and a pale face.

‘Sigh…’

Had it been too long since we last met? The way she looked at me was unusual.

…To be honest, I felt embarrassed too. After parting as if we would never see each other again, here I was, shamelessly showing my face once more.

But still, somehow.

…I was worried about her.

Suppressing my embarrassment.

I opened my mouth, and unknowingly started making excuses.

‘…Haha. Why are you looking at me like that? Sigh, ahem. I said I quit terrorism, but I never said I stopped being active. Hahaha…’

‘…..’

At my words, she seemed to be on the verge of tears.

…I couldn’t tell what was going on.

Right. That’s not like me.

If we met after a long time, I should start with a greeting.

As I always did.

With that thought in mind.

I spoke to her with a sincere smile.

‘Hello, Stardust. Long time no see.’

And at my words.

Stardust.

‘Huuk…’

Whooosh

Tears streaming down her face, she flew towards me.

And embraced me tightly.

Thump.

‘….?!!?!’

‘Egoistic… Egoistic…’

Without giving me a chance to react, she flew towards me, hugged me, buried her face in my chest, clung to me, and began crying, calling my name.

And I was.

Not knowing what was going on, my mind went blank for a moment.

…Actually, I could have avoided her, but I didn’t. Her expression was so… pitiful.

I didn’t know why she suddenly acted like this or why she was doing this to me.

But my faithful fan’s DNA, flowing within me.

Unknowingly, I hurriedly tried to comfort her.

‘No, Stardust…? Why are you like this? Please calm down first…!’

‘Egoistic… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…’

As I floundered, not knowing where to place my arms, she buried her head deeper into my chest, gradually dampening it.

…And Stardust began to sob, suddenly apologizing to me.”

And in such an open place, I decided that we couldn’t continue the conversation any further.

“Mr. Stardust! Let’s go over there and talk!”

I decided to take her and go somewhere else.

…What on earth is going on?
