I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

372 – Resolution

“No!!! Why are you crazy! I clearly said I will join… Kuaaa!”

Kwaangangangangang

In the heart of Seoul.

There, I was executing a villain who refused to listen to me.

The iconic mad serial killer of the original story. Reaper.

I offered him a chance to be reborn in our Cathedral, but that foolish guy didn’t listen to my words.

Since he didn’t, it was only right for me, as a senior official of the Cathedral, to deal with him, right? Yeah, it’s inevitable.

[???ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Teacher, Reaper has something to say~]

[I see, the answer was pre-determinedㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Listen to him, pleaseㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[ㅋㅋㅋ If he didn’t like it, he should’ve said so earlier~]

[This was the most villain-like thing I’ve done recently]

[Kya this is so funㅋㅋㅋ]

*

…Let’s edit the chat and video later.

I thought to myself, sweating slightly.

No, how could I accept him. He’s a madman who kills and tortures people for fun.

Anyway, now it’s time to focus on dealing with him.

I did my best to immobilize him with psychokinesis, and I stuck all the weapons I had brought with me into him.

“Kuaaak!!!”

“…Hey, Ego. Should we help?”

“…Just a moment. Let me try my best.”

But there was a slight problem, he didn’t die properly.

Thanks to his ability to transform into a beast, his body was strengthened, and he was able to endure the firepower of the guns I collected, despite the pain.

Choi Se-hee, who was following me and watching from behind, even whispered that to me.

Shoot. Maybe it’s a bit difficult to automatically hunt with weapons without using much of my strength.

Having made such a clear judgement, I immediately stopped all the guns with my left hand, and only raised my right hand with a smirk.

“Now, let’s give it a try.”

With that, I raised my hand and brought it down sharply.

Along with that, the Reaper’s body was lifted into the air.

Bang!

Just like that, he was slammed onto the ground.

While smiling, I continued to wave my hand and used my psychokinesis to slam him into the buildings here and there.

Yeah. This is it. This is the taste of being a superhuman…! I had forgotten that I had psychokinetic powers. Anyone would think I have the ability to fly.

Of course, there was the problem that my health was being drained while I was doing this… Oh, I’m going to vomit blood when I get home.

*

[Oh, why is Egoistic so strong???]

[Wow, I can see Mango at the forefront thanks to some kind of inflation. I can now close my eyes with peace…]

[Is this the sincerity of a Cathedral executive..? Wow.]

[Why does the chat look like parents bragging to their child who went to a school festivalㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

*

…While I was having fun attacking, I calmed down for a moment when I saw the surprise in the chat.

Yeah. I’m good enough. I guess I’ve become a decent person after all.

Let’s leave the rest to Se-hee.

“Ugh…”

Pointing at the (former) serial killer who was half-dead on the street, I spoke to her behind me.

“Electra, finish him off.”

“Got it.”

As soon as I said that, Choi Se-hee, with a smirk, stepped forward.

As her words ended, she reached out her hand.

Flash

Boom!

“Argh!”

With a bolt of lightning as thick as a falling missile.

There was a flash of blue light, and then he turned into ashes and disappeared.

The Reaper, who had killed tens of thousands of people in South Korea in the original story, is now gone so pitifully.

Sending him off in one shot, I felt like I had easily lifted a big burden.

“Phew…! Got rid of a guy who wouldn’t follow the new order of the era. He’s so clueless. If there are other villains watching this video, it would be better if you come to me first to prevent me from coming to you. Thank you!”

With a bright smile, I gave a thumbs up to the camera and was about to turn around and leave with my cape fluttering.

…And that’s when it happened.

“…Egoistic?”

She came at the exact moment I was about to leave.

At the very familiar voice, when I turned around, I saw her.

Stardust.

She was standing in front of me, having descended from the sky, her blonde hair fluttering in the wind.

…Looking at the suit with a bit of blood on it, it seems she was late because she was catching another villain.

*

[Gasp]

[She finally showed upㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ]

[Is this the real start!!]

[Oh my god]

*

“…What?”

And so, with her appearance, Choi Se-hee, who was next to me, began to stare at Stardust with a strong guard.

Of course, Stardust didn’t care and just looked at me with a curious gaze.

She probably rushed over in wonder why I suddenly stepped forward, but when she arrived at the scene and saw the other villain lying down there, she seemed to understand the situation. That I went out to do my usual villain hunting behavior.

…She looked at the sprawled (ex)Reaper below with a slightly complex gaze, then briefly smiled as if she couldn’t help it, only visible to me.

Then she returned to her usual expression, and asked me,

“Egoistic. You, what on earth did you do?”

“hahahaha! I was going to do some casting, but that person was refusing. So, I showed them what I’ve got.”

“…Trashy.”

That’s when we were doing this back-and-forth.

“Ha! What did he do to complain to our Egoistic? This is unbelievable.”

…Choi Se-hee suddenly pulled me towards her and spoke like that as if protecting me.

Seeing me getting close with Choi Se-hee, Stardust’s face hardened for a moment.

…But after some thought, she relaxed her expression and replied with a leisurely smile.

“Yeah, sorry for saying something to ‘your’ Egoistic.”

“…What’s going on?”

Choi Se-hee was puzzled by Stardust’s face, who was rather smiling leisurely instead of hardening her expression or getting angry.

Seeing her looking up at me and signaling to leave quickly with her eyes, I nodded my head and spoke to Stardust again.

“Well! It’s a pity. We still have a lot of work to do. So, goodbye…!”

Towards me saying that.

“…”

When I turned off the camera, and Choi Se-hee turned her head.

Stardust gave me a slight smile as if to say goodbye,

“…”

I also nodded lightly, and we parted like that.

…No, if we keep doing this, we might really get caught. It’ll be fine, right..?

***

After dealing with the Reaper.

I was able to come home with a much lighter heart.

There’s a saying about internal and external stability.

If the inside is solid, then you can act outside. As South Korea is my home, I have to deal with things here to be able to act overseas.

Although I’ve become an executive of the Cathedral and have a lot to do to prevent the world from being destroyed… first, I had to prevent the destruction of Seoul. And I did this time.

Now that I’ve stabilized internally, it was time to actively work outside.

“…Sigh.”

I sighed as I looked at the calendar.

The advent of the sun god that will destroy the world.

Before that, I had to find a way to stop the sun god and prevent the world from being destroyed.

Quite some time has passed since the start of phase 4.

The time left until the sun god’s advent is.

“One year.”

Yes.

One year.

About one year is left until the sun god comes and the world ends, the bad ending of the original.

It looks long, but it’s actually a very short time after it passes.

By then… I had to prepare to stop the god.

With a human body, to bring down a god.

‘…Of course, bringing it down itself would be done by our Stardust.’

There are things that need to be prepared beforehand.

It’s not over by just knocking it down. Before that, we have to prevent the sun god from destroying the world. The moment he descends, he will put all his strength to destroy the world as quickly as possible, like speed running.

And.

For the destruction of the world.

Turning Celeste’s heart was the top priority.

‘…Let’s see. The time left until the next cathedral.’

I muttered to myself while looking at the calendar.

Cathedral meeting. Precisely, it’s time to expand the cathedral and switch to an executive meeting.

From now on, every single action of mine directly affects the future, a time that has the power to change the world.

God must die.

I must make God die.

Therefore, I have to start persuading now. So others can follow my ideals. To empathize that a world without God is coming.

With such a serious heart, I went into the living room. To think about the agenda to propose at the next cathedral meeting.

Just when I was about to speak to everyone.

[Shock! Stardust X Egoistic love rumor reignites! Is it real this time?! What is the identity of the twinkle in Stardust’s eyes!!!]

…In the living room where everyone was gathered, such a broadcast was on TV.

In the moment when I hesitated at that sight.

“Ha! What am I saying. It’s ridiculous.”

Seeing that, Seo Eun laughed and fiddled with the remote control and changed the channel.

Then, seeing me who just came in, she opened her mouth as if it was fun.

“Ha, there are a lot of fake news these days, brother. That you’re dating Stardust. Puhahahahaha. What a nonsense, right?”

“…hahahaha. That’s funny.”

…When I was responding in as calm a tone as possible, Seo Ja-young, who was lying next to Seo Eun, murmured with a smile.

“That’s why. If Dain had really done that, would he have been able to stand up and come out like this?”

“That’s what I’m saying. hahahahaha!”

…Seeing them laugh like that.

I quietly, secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

Perhaps, there may be more to worry about than just that…
