I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

375 – Turning Weakness into Strength

Even five S-class heroes at the top of Europe could barely hold off the worst villain, Castrum.

Known as the Lord of the Castle, he terrorized European society for a while with his tremendous stamina that never fell and overwhelming attacks.

Finally, he was defeated.

Not at the end of a fierce battle… but by a single hero. In just a few minutes, in a flash.

And that hero was.

An S-class hero from a quiet country in the East.

Affiliated with the Korean Hero Association.

S-class hero, Stardust.

The woman who knocked down Castrum with just a few punches.

She instantly became the talk of the world, including Europe.

[Breaking news! The worst villain in Europe, known as Castrum, who terrorized European society, has been defeated. The one who defeated him is none other than a Korean hero named Stardust. It’s a huge shock. What is the identity of this woman who defeated him in just a few minutes, when even several S-class heroes couldn’t beat him? Today’s news is about Stardust…]

Her story was the first item on all major news broadcasts.

The world focused on this superhuman hero who had emerged like a comet.

[In fact, this isn’t the first time the hero named Stardust has been a hot topic. She stopped the attack of a religious group called Moonlight Church last time. She was already a ranked hero, but because she only operated in her own country, everyone was unaware of her strength…]

[Experts, after analyzing the video, say that Stardust has ‘strength beyond common sense’ and seems to show superior combat skills in one-on-one battles than any other hero we’ve seen so far…]

Honestly, it was funny that people were so fired up about catching just one villain. No matter how strong he was, he was just one villain, and it wasn’t enough to fully verify her capabilities.

However.

A villain so strong that all the top 10 ranked European heroes couldn’t defeat him even after several hours of collective effort.

“Huuhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

The fact that he was truly defeated by just a few punches from her. It was enough to touch many people’s hearts.

This was, of course, even more of a commotion in her home country, where people already knew Stardust.

Especially on the nationalistic TV channels.

[Shock][Awe] Why has the world fallen into confusion and shock over Stardust, the SSS-rank super hero born from South Korea? American expert, “Stardust is one of the greatest figures in the world… America could even give up the president to have her!” The reason why the whole world is crying and longing to see even her face due to the strength of Stardust!!!

[Japan clings to South Korea and weeps after seeing Stardust!!! Japanese Prime Minister’s secret file “I will unconditionally surrender to Japan. I will live the rest of my life atoning to Korea” exclusively obtained by NationLoveTV! Will the unification of Asia by Korea happen next month?!]

[What is the identity of Stardust that makes America shocked, Japan scared, France faint, UK cry, China cautious, and India nervous?! Stardust “I will stay in Korea… Korea is my motherland.” Thanks to the patriotic girl Stardust, the Korean Peninsula cried!]

“Wow.”

Ego Stream living room.

I, who checked how the news was on YouTube, blinked my eyes after seeing the videos popping up in the recommended section.

… Titles that are headache-inducing just by looking. How much of the content in the title is fabricated? More than that, why are these showing up in my recommended videos when I haven’t really watched anything like this?

As I laid down my phone with those thoughts, I crossed my legs, sighed, and lost myself in thought.

… In fact, the contents of that nationalist TV may not be entirely wrong.

That’s because Stardust is currently the center of attention. The whole world is probably watching, right?

The words floating among people now are as follows.

‘Stardust might be the strongest of all heroes.’

Heroes all have different abilities. There are heroes who are specialized in strength like Stardust, but there are also heroes with special abilities. Just like a Dungeon Maker among the ability users who can create a different world and trap others in it.

As such, it was impossible to line up heroes simply by strength. Although powerless, Ex Machina who has the ability to turn back time could be said to have been the unofficial top hero until now.

However.

The power that Stardust demonstrated was, to put it simply, overwhelming.

Against Castrum, who is famous as a tough guy specialized in defense and protection, it would’ve been great if they could win after a tough fight for a few hours.

She beat him in just a few minutes, with a couple of punches?

‘It’s a different league.’

It was an event that made everyone think so.

That’s why the world was showing such hot interest.

Just how strong is this hero named Stardust-.

In the hero ranking board, where there is no particularly prominent hero and the first place always changes, there was nobody who demonstrated as dominant skills as her till now.

“…Ugh.”

That’s when I was thinking like that.

…Seo Eun, who was conducting a public opinion survey with her smartphone under the sofa, handed me her mobile phone, dripping with silence.

“…Ha. Everyone is really freaking out. Especially your fan cafe and all, full of nonsense… Ugh.”

She handed me her mobile phone while saying that.

[If the biggest bragging point of your life is being born in a ‘Star Dust owning country’, that’s hilarious LOL]

[How is South Korea the number 1 hero ranking country LOL, amazing LOL]

-[Isn’t that not confirmed yet?]

-[In my heart, it’s confirmed. Thanks.]

[I didn’t know it was that serious, but seeing him beat Castrum last time, he was really strong LOL. He got hit three times and fainted LOL]

[Just Star Dust << I thought Korean villains were weak because he only fought Korean villains, but that wasn't the case LOL]

-[LOL]

-[Come to think of it, even though there’s only one S-class hero in a country, it’s been well-functioning so far, could it be a foreshadowing?]

-[Because there was another person who was virtually no different from S-class heroes LOL]

-[That’s true when I think about it LOL]

-[Why are you excluding S-class hero Apple Mango LOL]

[The person who raised Star Dust like that]

(A picture of Ego Stick fluttering his cape with his back turned)

Ha Mango… Is it you again?

G O A T

=[Comments]=

[The Mango]

[Seriously, continuously re-evaluated LOL How did you deal with him for several years LOL]

-[He’s gaining popularity overseas for not being caught and escaping from Star Dust LOL]

[Opinion) I didn’t know why Mango Stick liked Star Dust so much, but now I understand LOL How far did you foresee, GOAT…]

[Mango has saved Star Dust more than once or twice LOL]

[Star Dust Coin is skyrocketing again LOL]

“…..”

It was absurd that my fan cafe posts somehow ended in praising me…

‘Well, this is what I wanted.’

That’s when I thought so and handed the phone back to Seo Eun.

“Brother. But didn’t you dislike the idea that if Star Dust becomes famous, other foreign villains could invade? Is it okay now?”

To Seo Eun who asked me that, I answered with a grin.

“The situation has changed now.”

“Has it changed?”

What changed was that I had now entered the global villain alliance, Cathedral.

In the original work, South Korea did not have any villains affiliated with Cathedral.

That is, any member of the Cathedral could have started invading randomly.

But now the situation has changed.

From noble mtl dot com

I was a Cathedral executive and was in a fairly important position.

That is, without my permission, other villains affiliated with Cathedral cannot invade here. Especially among the villains not affiliated with Cathedral… there are no ones that need to be paid attention to yet.

Therefore, it was better to reveal Star Dust’s power now, considering my plan. Everyone needs to know the strength of Star Dust in advance. Especially…

‘Because it benefits me right now.’

My position in Cathedral is actually quite prominent. I’ve established a position by revealing high-class information so far, pretending to hide my power with Atlas, and now becoming Celeste’s confidant.

If there’s any controversy about me, it’s about what I’ve been doing in South Korea for the past five years, dealing with only one hero, Stardust. And I didn’t even kill a single civilian.

And I turned that weakness around.

I made the fact that I’ve only been dealing with Stardust look impressive.

“So, it will be… different now.”

I have nothing to fear once I convert the fact that I was Stardust’s archenemy into my own achievement. I can assert myself more confidently as Celeste’s right-hand man, and get more involved in the Cathedral.

That way, my plan to prevent the destruction will be one step closer to completion…

“Well… Let’s get a little closer.”

To Celeste.

I thought so and prepared for the next Cathedral.

With a quiet smile.
