I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

Chapter 402

402 – Lawful Alliance

Amidst the crisis of the world’s destruction by the gods, the hastily announced alliance resolution between the Association and the Cathedral was made known to all.

Right after the gods’ declaration of destruction, the Association’s countermeasures came out in a short time. Perhaps that’s why the anxious public, ready to burst, quickly stabilized after my speech.

…Of course, naturally, there were also forces that went into frenzy simply from me appearing on broadcast again.

[Mango <<<<< Just a god but fucking hilariousᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ]

[Honestly, Sun God < Just fucking owned by Mango ^Smashed^ to be, right?ᄏᄏᄏᄏ]

[Hand on heart) Anyone else super anxious until the broadcast then immediately calmed in body and soul after seeing Egoistic on?ᄏᄏᄏᄏ]

[Truth) When will Korea change its name to Mango Republic? I really don’t knowᄏᄏ]

[Anyone else suddenly see the Sun God as a fucking asshole after watching Egoistic’s broadcast?]

[The Sun God, honestly, just the name itself is pretentious right? There’s so many stars in the universe but he’s cocky over one sunᄏᄏᄏ]

[ [Summary ] Possible events after Association x Cathedral alliance…list ]

[Just believe in Mango, kick back and relax, and it’ll be fucking awesomeᄏᄏᄏ He’s really a hero nowᄏᄏᄏᄏ]

[The event I’m looking forward to the most after the Association Cathedral alliance is thisᄏᄏᄏᄏ]

“….”

After my worldwide broadcast speech.

I discussed a few more issues with the Association chairman, then rested for a bit before letting out a sigh at the message sent to me by Seoyoon.

Her words ‘Oppa, you did so well on broadcast, it’s chaos~’ were nice, but why does she always have to show me the state of my fan cafe…

Then again, it’s my fault for always checking when she shows me.

Despite my thoughts, as if compelled, I clicked on the last post in the link of writings.

[The event I’m looking forward to the most after the Association Cathedral alliance is thisᄏᄏᄏᄏ]

We’ll finally get to see Egoistic and Stardust officially collaborating, that’s whatᄏᄏᄏᄏ

What happened to the non-Egoist faction bitching ‘They’re hero and villain so it can’t happen!’? The only ship that got destroyed was the ones forcing other pairingsᄏᄏᄏ

(Picture of Egoistic raising a glass towards the camera with a smiling face)

Cheers to all Egoista fans on this victory~

“…Ah.”

Why did I click into this.

‘…Well. With the gods declaring they’ll destroy the world, I guess it’s positive they can still talk about things like this…’

I don’t know.

With those thoughts, I put my phone back into my pocket.

Anyway, the fire’s been put out.

Now the terrified masses won’t collectively panic and cause the world to fall into anarchy like in the original work.

Some individuals might, but it seems the governments are slowly getting their act together and can handle it if security is tightened.

‘…The fire’s been put out, that’s true.’

But there was still much to be done.

I have to prepare for the chaos the Sun God will soon cause in the world, I still have unfinished business with Celeste, and eventually I need to get ready to face the gods too.

But before all that, the first thing I need to do is, of course.

‘…Meet with Stardust first.’

With that thought, I got up from my seat.

By now, Stardust has probably finished speaking with the Star God.

I need to go see her immediately to check on her state after conversing with the Star God.

She has now awakened as the true hero of this world, realizing the mission she bears.

…Of course, in the original story the world was already collapsing in real time so her learning her identity didn’t dramatically change anything…

But now is different.

I’m by her side too… And the whole world will likely stand together and endure.

‘Alright.’

I’ve taken care of the other matters, so let’s meet Stardust first.

As I prepared to return to Korea and wondered how to meet Stardust… I realized one important fact.

‘…Wait a minute.’

Come to think of it, like what was said on my fan cafe.

There’s no need to secretly meet Stardust anymore right?

The Association and Cathedral will have a cooperative relationship from now on. We can meet openly without anyone saying anything.

Once I realized that and some time passed after the Association chairman announced to all regional branches the intent to ally with the Cathedral, when employees were busy with that news…

“Huh? E, Egoistic…?!”

“Haha. Hello, it’s good to see you.”

“Kyaaah! It’s really Egoistic!”

From noble mtl dot com

Korea Association.

There, at the entrance, the S-Rank villain Egoistic, the archnemesis of Korea, suddenly teleported in with a pop.

…Yes, it’s me.

Hmm. This is new.

The middle of the Association office.

Seeing me make a surprise appearance there, the stunned Association employees reacted in horror. I kindly smiled and waved my hand to signal I meant no harm. Don’t be scared.

Fortunately, it seems they had all already been informed, as they made no moves to capture me.

In any case, seeing me, they whispered in fright.

“Chief, Egoistic is here, Egoistic!”

“Oh my, it really is Ma… Egoistic!”

“Wait, where’s my camera…?”

…Are they really whispering in fright?

Anyway, I grabbed one of the people surrounding me and smilingly asked:

“Excuse me, do you happen to know where Stardust is?”

“Uh, y-yes yes, in the o-office.”

“Thank you.”

“N-no, thank you…”

Why are you thanking me?

Somehow the employees gathered around me at the Association office, but there were no attempts to restrain me. No sudden actions either. The chairman will likely grab his neck when he hears about this but…

…Alright. Let’s head straight to Stardust’s office then.

Just as I thought that.

“…No need to look. Since you’re here.”

Hearing that voice in front of me.

I immediately turned my head.

With blonde hair, dressed in the familiar hero suit. I could meet the person I had been searching for.

“…Ms. Stardust. You were here.”

Smiling as I spoke, she giggled in the same way…

Unconsciously it seems, realizing the situation she quickly hardened her expression, but…

Exclamations already flowed from around us.

“Come to think of it, it’s legal now…”

“As expected, they were always that close…”

…Strange murmurs seem to reach my ears as well.

Really, are these the only kinds at the Association? What is it, only fans of the hero-villain dynamic gather here?

Judging it would get more chaotic if I stayed, I immediately walked over to her.

Ignoring the gasps around me.

“Everyone, please excuse me for a moment.”

With those words I grasped Stardust’s hand and teleported right away.

…I must have imagined she smiled one last time at the final moment.

* * *

Anyway, currently.

Meeting her again in her office with the door shut, I smiled and asked:

“Stardust, have you been well?”

“…You really are…”

Sighing with a smile, she soon sat next to me by the desk and spoke.

Since I had already told her this might happen today, she was composed and calmly relayed to me:

“…Like you said, I’ve put everything on high alert with the chairman. All the heroes are on standby, and the government will likely soon declare martial law… For now, at least, there shouldn’t be any problems with public order.”

“You’ve done well.”

“But there’s something I want to say…”

Stardust spoke and immediately told me about meeting the Star God.

The story of her being humanity’s savior to stop the Sun God, the tale of gods in this world…

I already knew but listened attentively nonetheless. Hmm, her words don’t differ from the original work.

…The only difference is, according to Stardust the Star God kept smiling like me the whole time… That was certainly unlike the original work, where she was gloomy and regretful towards Stardust.

The change in circumstances probably did that. Thanks to me.

…Come to think of it, that’s creepy. Not a smile I sold.

‘I see…’

Well, I saved the world for Stardust, not for the Star God. Didn’t matter. Yeah.

Anyway, to Stardust speaking in a small voice, I replied matter-of-factly:

“…As expected, the gods have good judgement.”

“Me…? I’m not so sure. My mind’s still a mess… will I do well?”

To her slightly bitter smile and words,

I couldn’t let that pass. I immediately grasped her hand and spoke:

“No. Stardust. You can do it. …Did I not say, you always can.”

“Egoistic…”

“So don’t worry too much. I’ll help too.”
