I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

365 – Phase 4

[[Breaking News] Urgent news! At this moment, the power of all ability users has gone berserk, and strange phenomena are occurring in cities across various countries! Citizens, please evacuate to a safe place…]

It all happened in an instant.

The international community, always teetering on the edge of tension.

Although occasionally some villain would cause a terrorist attack, destroying a city, and conflicts were never-ending… it was a society that was, in its own way, still functioning.

Until that incident happened, unexpectedly.

[…Experts speculate that the abilities of superior ability users have been enhanced for some reason, and they are currently identifying the cause. This event, dubbed ‘inflation’, is expected to have a significant impact, with particular concerns about the intensifying aftermath of large-scale terrorist attacks by villains…]

The second awakening of the ability users.

Without any context, as if evolving, the power of all ability users suddenly increased.

This caused a big stir in society.

Especially among the villains.

[Breaking news! Terror attacks are currently happening simultaneously all over the world! The scale of these attacks is reported to be very large…]

With the anchor’s words, images appeared on the screen.

There, on the rooftops of buildings in a foreign city, heroes and villains were fighting.

A scene of terror that was all too familiar.

…However, something was different.

[Ha ha ha. Fireball!]

The casual words of a masked villain, and his casual actions.

But the aftermath was anything but casual.

[Kwaaang]

Created in the sky, a burning sphere that looked like a huge meteorite.

Exuding a tremendous heat visible to the naked eye, as if intending to destroy the entire city beneath it, people watching were filled with terror.

[Huaaap!]

The hero standing against it was no less formidable.

A gigantic golden shield created in the face of the falling fireball.

Kwaaang.

Finally, they clashed with each other, creating a huge explosion.

And so.

The whole world began to experience sudden disturbances like this.

In fact, since both the heroes and villains had become stronger, it might not seem like such a big problem at first glance.

But the real problem was, a villain who used to destroy a building was now threatening a city, a villain who used to destroy a city was now threatening a country.

[Breaking news! We have reports that a group of villains are currently causing a disturbance in Washington state, USA. These villains were originally classified as A-grade, but due to the ‘inflation’ event, they have now gained S-grade power…]

[The capital of India is currently experiencing a riot by a group of monsters. They are continuing their terror by occupying the area around the Indian Association…]

[There is an increase in incidents caused by ability users intoxicated by their suddenly enhanced powers. The number of reported cases so far…]

[The International Association has issued a statement. They are currently re-evaluating the rankings of ability users and villains, and everyone is doing their utmost to resolve the situation. However, netizens are pushing back, asking ‘what exactly are they doing?’…]

The international community was always a precarious place.

The gradually increasing number of villains and terrorist attacks. The sudden increase in the number of ability users. The International Association losing control. Even the existence of countries such as Brazil, China, and Japan, which had fallen to the villains.

And within such a situation.

South Korea, which once had more villains than any other country, and where terrorist attacks were a daily occurrence.

The country that seemed most vulnerable to sudden power inflation was…

[Personal opinion: Honestly, the world’s in chaos, but I don’t feel it at all, lol]

Is the association doing its job too well? What on earth is going on lol

– CATHEDRAL

– The global villain alliance founded by the world’s top-ranked villain, Celest.

– Members: Representative S-rank villains from all over the world

[Real Talk]

[It’s like the end of the world overseas in the news, but Korea is not really affected lol.]

[Is this the K-civic awareness that Japan is surprised and China is shaking..?]

ㄴ[But those two are subtly hit lol.]

[Ignoring the joke, why is Korea the only peaceful place? It doesn’t seem to be in a fuss like in the news.]

ㄴ[Because the number of heroes has increased a lot.]

ㄴ[To be precise, the Yooseong Group has hired most of the superhumans in advance + they are beating up the villains. Because of this, even the B-grade or lower heroes are getting stronger lol.]

ㄴ[It’s because GOAT Ee Seol-Ah has prepared everything.]

ㄴ[Really? I support Ice Mango from today.]

[But it seems like the calm before the storm because the top-ranked villain Celest and other top-ranking villains are very quiet… I can’t tell what they’ll do when they’re probably very strong now.]

ㄴ[Real talk, major villains like Atlas and Theseus, and even Asian ones like Katana, Li Xiaofeng, Egoistic are all quiet. Something is happening, and it might go crazy when they all return.]

ㄴ[That… The reason Egoistic is quiet is… No.]

ㄴ[Hmm, Egoistic has been quiet for a while… No, it’s nothing.]

ㄴ[Return?]

ㄴ[I hate you all.]

[This must also be a part of Egoistic’s plan.]

ㄴ[What’s scarier is that it’s not a joke but real lol.]

[Anyway, is Korea safe? That’s awesome.]

…Korea, more than expected. No, rather, it showed a sturdier image than other countries.

In the midst of a storm sweeping the world, Korea alone enjoyed a brief moment of peace.

…And then, something happened that shocked even Korea.

[[Breaking News] The world’s top-ranked villain, Celest, announces the formation of a global villain alliance ‘Cathedral’.]

That’s right, Celest, who is considered the strongest villain in the world, announced that she would create a global villain alliance.

She sent her avatar along with sacred light to all association headquarters around the world and announced it overnight.

She will now create a new order in the world.

…The enhanced power of Celest shown as a teaser was beyond imagination.

[I’ve never seen a message coming out from the split sky saying that a giant hand will destroy you. What the hell is happening?]

And along with Celest’s declaration.

The representatives of the villain associations from various countries began to announce their support as if they had been waiting for it.

Support declarations coming out from all over Europe, America, Oceania, etc.

Even when Atlas, known as the loser of the sea, revealed that he was a member of the Cathedral, the world fell into complete chaos.

A multinational villain alliance, not the small-scale villain alliances that had been clustered by country so far, appeared for the first time in history.

Moreover, with Celest, the strongest villain in the world, at the center.

Under her, villains from all countries join forces to conquer the world.

Moreover, they said that they would remove not only heroes but also other villains who refuse their order.

[Isn’t this really screwed up…?]

And of course.

The world went into an unprecedented uproar.

Not one or two. As many as dozens of villains, S-rank villains, and the heads of a villain group. They all announced their participation in the Cathedral from almost every country in the world.

Especially it was more shocking because it was revealed that villains like Katana and Li Xiaofeng of Asia, who even took over a country, were part of the Cathedral.

In other words, the members of the Cathedral are not only the S-rank villains belonging there, but also the villains under the national villain alliances that they each control.

In the midst of this global invasion announcement, Korea was also terrified like other countries.

Who’s in charge of Korea, and what will happen to this country? They were terrified.

…Yeah. They were terrified.

Until someone discovered something on the Cathedral’s site.

[Wait, what’s this?]

I’ve just scraped off what has been summarized on the Cathedral’s site.

What is this?

I’ve cut the rest as I don’t know what they mean…

But Egoistic is listed as the person in charge for Asia/Korea?

Is he making a comeback(?)?

=[Comments]=

[For real?]

[Woah]

[I thought I might have read this wrong, but is this for real?]

[Mangostic… I always believed… you would make a grand comeback (Sobs)]

[I think I can hear the sounds of the Mango Fans Club rejoicing lol]

[???: I will retire. (While taking charge as an executive of the World Villain Alliance in Asia)]

[Oh my god lol]

[I bet it will soon be all over the terrestrial channels and real-time search terms lol]

…And so.

From noble mtl dot com

While all the other countries were shocked by the launch of the Cathedral.

South Korea alone received a different kind of shock.

[It seems like South Korea is safe now lol]

Thank you for coming back, GOAT

Please protect South Korea

Egoistic.

The one everyone missed, has returned.

At the time people were most afraid, in the best way possible.

***

“Sis, people are freaking out.”

“Really?”

At the Ego Stream’s mansion.

In response to Seo Eun’s comment checking the reactions of people, I put on a mask and replied.

“…Well, it’s been a while, so it feels new.”

And so, I put on the black coat I haven’t worn in a long time.

I put on my cloak, and smiled.

Time to turn on the broadcast after a long time.

“Now. It’s time for the terror.”

I floated the camera in the air and said so.

“The Time of Terror”.

…And at the same time,

The time to meet Stardust legally was coming.

“Let’s go.”
