I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With
chapter-365

Chapter 365: Phase 4

[[BREAKING NEWS] This is urgent news! We are currently experiencing anomalies in the city due to a sudden surge in the powers of all superhumans! Please evacuate to a safe place…]

It happened all at once.

The international community was as unstable as ever.

Every once in a while, a villain would unleash a terrorist attack and destroy a city, and there were conflicts every day.

It was a society that worked…until it suddenly happened.

[…Experts speculate that the powers of the superhumans have been enhanced for some reason, and are currently trying to figure out what it is…This event, collectively dubbed “inflation,” is believed to have far-reaching ramifications, especially in the aftermath of the villains’ massive attacks…]

A secondary awakening of the superhumans without any context, as if they were evolving…all of them became stronger at once.

This reverberated through society but mostly to the villains.

[BREAKING NEWS: Simultaneous terrorist attacks are currently occurring around the world, reportedly on a very large scale…]

The anchor’s words are accompanied by footage from the screen.

It showed a hero and a villain fighting on top of a building in an overseas city center.

It was a common scene of terrorism.

…However, something was different.

[Hahaha. Fireball!]

The masked villain’s words and actions were light, however the aftermath was anything but light.

A fiery sphere, like a giant meteorite, appeared in the sky.

It emitted such heat that it could be seen and felt as if it were about to destroy the entire city below, much to the horror of all who saw it.

[Heh!]

The heroes were no match for him.

A giant golden shield formed against the falling fireball.

Kwahhhhhhhh.

Finally, they collided with each other, creating a huge explosion and just like that, the whole world was suddenly in an uproar.

In a way, it didn’t seem like such a big deal, since both heroes and villains were pretty powerful.

But the real problem is that the villain who took down one building threatened a city now, and the one who threatened a city before threatened a nation now.

[BREAKING NEWS: A group of villains are currently running amok in the middle of Washington State, U.S.A. They were originally Class A villains, but this inflationary event has given them Class S powers…]

[India’s capital is currently being rioted over by a group of thugs, who have now taken over the Indian Association and are continuing their terror…]

[There has been an increase in the number of accidental deaths around the world caused by suddenly empowered superhumans, with only a handful of cases reported to date…]

[The International Association has now released a statement, stating that the rating re-evaluation of the Heroes and Villains is being done immediately, and that everyone is doing their utmost to resolve the situation, but netizens have reacted by asking, ‘What on earth are they trying to do…?’]

In fact, the international community has been on edge since the beginning.

Because of the growing number of villains and terrorism and a sudden increase in the number of superhumans, international organizations have lost control. There were even countries like Brazil, China, and Japan that were eaten by villains.

And in the midst of it all, South Korea, which once had more villains than any other country, and terrorism was a daily occurrence, the country that seemed most vulnerable to sudden power inflation was…

[Opinion: Honestly, if you don’t have any sense of the world being in trouble, you’re a fool…]

The Association is doing too good a job.

[In the news, it’s almost the end of the world in foreign countries, but it doesn’t affect Korea at all…]

[Is this the kind of K-civility that Japan and China are freaking out about…]

ㄴ[But they’re also hitting each other subtly…]

[Why is it that only our country is calm? It’s not like it’s a newsworthy situation.]

ㄴ[Because the number of heroes has grown.]

[Precisely because Yuseong Group hired most of the talented people in advance + they beat up the villains, so now those B-level and below heroes are also stronger.]

[GOAT Lee Seola has prepared everything]

[I’m supporting Ice Mango from today]

[But it’s the perfect storm right now…Celeste and the other top villains are fucking quiet…I’m sure they’re pissed right now, but I don’t know how they’ll react]

Atlas, Testeus, and the other top bosses in Asia, Katana, Li Xiaofeng, and Egostic are all quiet…There’s something going on, and it could get crazy when they return]

ㄴ[That… isn’t the reason for the silence…]

N[Hmmm…Egostic hasn’t been quiet the whole time…Oh nothing]

[What?]

I hate you all!]

[This is also probably Egoistic arrangement.]

[Anyway, Korea is safe, isn’t it? Bullshit]

*

…Korea, more than I thought. No, it’s actually stronger than other countries.

In the midst of the storms raging around the world, Korea was the only one enjoying a moment of calm.

…And then something happened that took even Korea by surprise.

[Celeste, the world’s number one ranked villain, announces the formation of CATHEDRAL, the Global Villain Alliance.]

Celeste, the strongest villain in the world, has announced the formation of a world-scale villain alliance.

She sent her alter ego with divine light to all association headquarters around the world and declared that they would create a new world order.

…The enhanced power of Celeste, which he was given a taste of, was beyond his wildest imagination.

[Holy shit! I’ve never seen the sky split open and a giant hand shoot out of it with a message to destroy you, what the hell is going on?]

And with that declaration from Celeste the representatives of the Villain Federation from around the world began to speak in support, one by one, as if they had been waiting.

Declarations of support came from all of the European Villains, the Americas, Oceania, and beyond.

Even Atlas, the so-called Leader of the Seas, declared himself a member of Cathedral, and the world descended into complete chaos.

For the first time in history, a global villainous alliance has emerged, rather than the small, national villainous alliances of the past.

With a clear center point: Celeste, the world’s most powerful villain.

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

They even said that they would eliminate not only the heroes but also other villains if they resisted their order.

[Isn’t this really fucked up…?]

And of course…the world went crazy like never before.

Not just one or two but dozens of villains, S-class villains, and the heads of the villain groups from almost every country in the world have announced their participation in Cathedral.

It’s especially shocking to see that even villains who occupy entire countries, such as Asia’s Katana and Li Xiaofeng, have been revealed to be part of the Cathedral.

In short, the membership of Cathedral is not just limited to the S-class villains who belong to it, but also includes all the villains of the villain alliances under their respective countries.

In the face of such a world-scale invasion announcement, South Korea, like the rest of the world, was freaking out.

Who the hell is in charge of Korea, they wondered, and what will happen to this country?

…Until someone found something on Cathedral’s site.

*

[Wait, what is this?]

I’ve been scraping things off of Cathedral’s site.

What is this?

그Looks like he’s making a comeback????

=[Comment]=

[Shit?]

[I think I’m mistaken, but is this a lol?]

[Mangostick…was…surely…believing…that it would be a colorful comeback (shudder)]

[I can hear the mangosticks’ happy sounds from here]

[???: I’m retiring (as head of the World Villains Alliance Asia)]

[Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah]

[Soon it’ll be all over the airwaves and real-time searches lol]

*

Just like that…when the rest of the world was shocked by the launch of Cathedral…Korea, alone, was shocked by a different kind of shock.

*

[If you think Korea is safe now, you’re right.]

Welcome back, GOAT.

Protect Korea.

“Da-in, people are going crazy.”

“Really?”

~Egostream Mansion~

As Seo-Eun asked me what I thought of the people there, I put my mask on my face and replied.

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

I put on my black coat for the first time in a long time and chuckled as I wrapped my cloak around me.

It’s been a while since I’ve turned on the broadcast.

“All right. Time for terror.”

I pointed the camera into the air and said, “Time for terror.”

…And, at the same time I could openly meet with Stardus.

“Let’s go.”
