I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

392 – The Hero and the Saint

Skies above Seoul, South Korea.

A modern city sprawled below, the blue sky stretched above that place.

…And there in that spot where the angel army Egotist had summoned and the heroes were fighting.

“Hmm…”

Amidst the terror attack unfolding, the sudden appearance in the sky of a silver-haired woman in a white saint’s garb was enough to bewilder everyone.

Celeste, the leader of Cathedral.

Known as the strongest in the world.

She now stood in the sky, looking down at the scenery of Seoul spread below her.

…To be precise, standing there with her numerous angel soldiers, looking down at a hero with golden hair fluttering.

The woman glaring up at her standing in the sky was…

South Korea’s S-Rank hero, Stardust.

Looking down at Stardust like that, Celeste was thinking this.

‘Hmm… So there was a special reason Egotist cares about her.’

The number 1 villain in the world, Celeste, had come to Korea.

Her reason for coming here was simple.

‘…Just what kind of woman is Stardust that Egotist cares so much about her?’

She was curious about Stardust.

…Having thoroughly looked through Egotist’s past record, Celeste knew that all of Egotist’s past terror attacks and principles had been foiled by Stardust.

Why exactly did he care so much about Stardust?

What kind of woman was Stardust?

…And what exactly was their relationship?

‘…I should check once.’

That was why she had casually dropped by Korea.

Just to get a rough idea of what Stardust was actually like, then leave.

Appearing like this where Stardust was while Egotist was carrying out a terror attack.

While South Korea broadcasting this scene was thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of the number 1 villain,

Celeste was quietly observing Stardust.

‘…She’s certainly strong.’

While inwardly thinking that.

Merely standing before Stardust, she felt the prickling power of the stars on her skin.

The powerful stellar power pouring out of Stardust was incomparable to Egotist’s, which Celeste sensed.

…And she naturally felt how that power was in such opposition to the sun’s power.

‘No wonder Egotist tries hard to recruit her.’

That much force joining their side would surely become great strength.

She only went that far in her impressions.

Anyway, no matter how strong, it didn’t seem she could beat Celeste herself. She had no intention of seriously fighting.

If an enemy of that level of danger had been in her country, she would have dealt with them by any means necessary.

Since Egotist was managing her, there was no need to worry.

However.

…She was still annoyed that Egotist cared about Stardust.

And so now.

When all the heroes retreated with the sudden appearance of the representative of the villain alliance Cathedral, and only Stardust stepped forward to stand before her.

After organizing all her thoughts in that short time, Celeste,

Wearing the white saint’s garb, silver hair fluttering, with closed eyes emitting her unique mysterious aura, opened her mouth.

“Hmm… So you’re Stardust.”

“…That’s right. Why are you here?”

Stardust responded cautiously.

Looking into her wary blue eyes, Celeste opened her mouth with a smile.

“Ah. My loyal subordinate Egotist talked about you, so I was curious and came to see. I wanted to see directly the hero bothering my villain so much.”

And hearing those words, Stardust,

Though she tried not to show it,

…she couldn’t help but stiffen her expression a little.

‘…Hah. Loyal subordinate? My villain?’

Absurd.

Who did she think she was, arbitrarily calling him her villain?

Stardust.

She actually knew a bit about Celeste from what Egotist had told her.

‘He definitely said she has the biggest role in preventing destruction.’

That was why he had gotten close to her.

…Even when she heard it before, it had made her uncomfortable, but now she was certain.

That woman had her sights on Egotist.

“…..”

And while Stardust hardened her expression thinking that.

Celeste was thinking the same.

‘See, her face hardened at the mention of Egotist.’

That reaction of stiffening at touching Egotist.

…That clearly showed she cared about Egotist.

I knew it would be like this.

‘And look at that slutty skintight red suit…’

She wore that to seduce Egotist right? How shameless.

While thinking that, Celeste couldn’t help but open her eyes, looking at her scornfully with golden eyes.

“Hmm, but still, nothing special. I don’t see why Egotist cares about you.”

Clear provocation.

…At those words, Stardust almost lost her composure for a moment, but she took a deep breath and thought.

Right. Stay calm. Anyway that woman has never even held Egotist’s hand. Getting agitated means losing.

After all, wasn’t she the one currently connected to Egotist?

So.

…Then Stardust, with arms crossed, snickered and

Facing Celeste, said with a smile,

“Oh? Well, looks like he liked something other than my power. Ah, you don’t know that Egotist is only by your side because of your power, do you?”

“…Ahaha. Funny. …Yeah.”

Thud.

At Stardust’s words striking back subtly, Celeste’s eyes chilled in that moment.

How dare she, a mere hero, look down on the bond between herself and Egotist, tied together as fellow villains?

“Hahaha.”

“…Ahaha.”

After that conversation ended.

The two staring and smiling coldly at each other realized

that no more conversation between them was needed.

And so.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

The battle between the stellar hero and the solar saint had just begun.

[Stardust! Stardust! Stardust! Stardust!]

[Is the fight between Stardust and the Saint Sister real? My chest swells with emotion… What an emotional battle.]

[Honestly Saint Mango is possible too, I’d like that first lol]

[So why are they fighting?]

[I couldn’t hear the conversation but isn’t it probably over Egotist?]

[Official Wife Showdown ON lololol]

[Seriously the world’s strongest villain came and is fighting but everyone’s so chill lol]

[Ahaha don’t worry Celeste is on our side too lol]

“Haa, haa…”

After hearing Celeste and Stardust who had suddenly come to Korea were fighting each other.

I hurriedly flew to the scene and leaned against a nearby building, gasping for breath from the aftereffects of teleporting.

“Haa… Cough, cough.”

Ah, damn. I’m even coughing up blood now.

Having roughly wiped the blood, I leaned on the wall and looked towards the fighting scene.

“Ugh…”

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

Flash flash

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoooooooosh.

“Oh my.”

The sky flashing yellow and white, it was a total mess.

All kinds of roars rang out, with sounds like the sky was collapsing and fierce winds blowing.

…Looking up at the sky where such a battle was unfolding, I was honestly impressed inwardly.

“…Oh.”

One thing was clear.

…Fortunately, it didn’t seem like they were seriously fighting with all their might.

While they did seem to be fighting to win, they were keeping within certain bounds. Of course for Stardust I had explained Celeste was on our side, and Celeste wouldn’t suddenly come to Korea to annihilate it considering my position too.

But still, it was clear they were competing with each other’s abilities.

…What caught my attention was Stardust, fighting evenly against Celeste.

“…As expected.”

As I thought, Stardust had truly grown stronger.

At this point, to be fighting evenly against Celeste who was a flying disaster in the original story, no matter how much benefit of the doubt I gave her.

…Especially considering Stardust grew exponentially stronger the closer the Sun God approached our dimension.

Right. I raised one good hero. Heuk.

However…

“…Hmm, this is a bit troubling.”

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

I looked up at the two still fighting with a troubled expression, muttering.

…With the Sun God’s prophecy approaching soon, the two who should be allies from now on fighting like this wasn’t good.

So I had to stop them soon.

With that thought, I took out the max powered megaphone enchanted by Luna’s magic from my coat.

And under the building where the two were fighting.

I spoke loudly into the megaphone.

[Ah, stop, stop! Ms. Stardust, Ms. Celeste. Stop fighting!]

My voice rang out deafeningly through the city.

…Hmm, it was so loud the windows of the buildings beside me were rattling. Ah, I didn’t want it this loud.

Anyway, it certainly had the aggro effect.

“…Egotist?”

“Hrmm…”

Their fight slowly stopped.

Not missing that chance, I teleported right between the two flying in the sky on opposite sides.

“…Hahaha. Greetings, Ms. Stardust. And… Celeste.”

“Tch.”

In the blue sky with wind blowing.

Seeing Stardust with golden hair fluttering, sweat running as she glared at Celeste, and Celeste in a similar state, arms crossed floating with her saint garb stuck to her body.

I quickly winked at Stardust then smiled, heading towards Celeste and speaking to her.

“Haha, Ms. Celeste. What brings you all the way here?”

“Hrmm. I came to discipline the woman bothering you a bit, but you’re getting in the way, how annoying.”

“…Ahaha. Now, now. Let’s go over there to talk.”

Feeling Stardust’s piercing gaze from behind, I hurriedly went to Celeste’s side.

Wait. Don’t tell me Celeste is wearing the ring I gave her?

The chilling thought striking me, I looked down and fortunately saw she wasn’t, letting out a sigh of relief.

“…Cough, ahem. Ms. Stardust, haha, well then, we’ll be going. Goodbye!”

“Tch…”

Like that, I hastily took Celeste and fled the scene…

…worried about the aftermath to come.
