I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With Chapter 287:

Soon enough, the day passed.

The disaster at the Moonlight Gate was beginning to fade from mory.

After a long ti, word ca that the Cathedral was gathering again.

For the first ti since the Moonlight Gate disaster.

The living room.

Looking at the letter, which said to et rather than exchange information, I muttered to myself.

Cathedral, a place where only S-class villains who lead an organization gather.

It was founded by Celeste, the Saint of Light, who is considered the number one villain in the world in terms of power and influence.

In the original story, its only now that its beginning to take center stage.

Especially since the world has been torn apart by the Moonlight Church

What happens now?

I rested my chin on my desk and pondered the question.

For now, I dont need to worry about my influence within Cathedral. Ive already proven myself with the Moonlight Gate, and I have Katana, Li Xiaofeng, and Atlas all on my side.

That said, Im not without my problems.

Ive been acting a little too outspoken lately, and so people might question whether Im a villain or not. Ive been openly working with Stardus on the air, and foreign news outlets have been reporting favorably on lately.

Of course its none of my business.

Of course, that was irrelevant.

There are plenty of ways to get out of this, like blaming the heroes, catching people off guard, didnt you guys work with the heroes during the Moonlight Gate disasterand most importantly, I have friends at the Cathedral who trust completely apart from Atlas to Katana.

The only problem is Celeste

I guess Ill just have to wait and see.

With that thought, I prepared for the eting.

***

Cathedral finally arrived.

Greetings, Egostic.

Stepping into the once-white cathedral, I followed the priests words across the long hallway to the Round Table Room.

And when I arrived, I saw familiar faces.

Hello, Egostic! Here you are.

Ah, Egostic. Youre here.

Egostic!

Im a little late today, but I see Atlas, Li Xiaofeng, and Katana, who are already seated. Our red Mohican head also saw and bowed.The Mohican seems to have survived the Moonlight Gate disaster. Glad to see.

Gee, how are you all doing?

And with that, I walked over to everyone with a big smile on my face.

.

The eyes of the villains at the round table turned to and as I smiled and walked toward my colleagues, I quickly scanned the table with my masked eyes.

As I did so, I could sense a range of emotions in their gazes. Curiosity, wonder, admiration, doubt, nervousness, and even fear.

Yes.

I knew this reaction would co, and I deliberately ca late.

This Moonlight Gate catastrophe may have co out of the blue to the rest of the world, but not to the villains sitting here.

This is a story that I foresaw from the beginning.

For nearly a year before the event, Ive been building them up. From tales of other worlds, to predictions of weakening dinsional barriers, to direct warnings that monsters would soon invade.

I had given this information to the Cathedral when other heroes and associations werent even expecting it.

At the ti I spoke, there was no sign of it, so it must have seed like re speculation but in the end, everything ca true in the form of a catastrophe of global proportions.

Monstrous beasts attacked the planet at the sa ti on a scale never seen before.

This was information that, unlike Hero and the other villains, only the mbers of Cathedral knew, because I told them.

So, to summarize, in their eyes, I am one of two things.

One, a super-powered villain who orchestrated a global catastrophe that no one else could have predicted.

The other is that this whole Moonlight Gate thing was self-inflicted, given that it happened in Korea.

Whatever.

In the end it cos down to the fact that I know enough to pull off an attack of catastrophic proportions that no one else knows about.

It was sothing Id already been known to do with the ti-traveler, but this was the one ti I could say Id proven it.

And that I offered it to the Cathedral, rather than keeping it to myself.

Because I was with them, the people here had an information advantage over the others. Whether it was preparing for the Moonlight Gate or organizing a plan to work with the Heroes. All of this was possible because I warned them in advance.

In short, my influence in Cathedral is much greater now than it was before. Im even officially an S-rank, even though that doesnt an much anymore.

And of course, with such a large influence cos enemies. So I deliberately showed up late and in the lilight so that they wouldnt even think of ssing with , and then I went to my colleagues and reaffird my connections.

This is how the underdog survives. If Im weak, I should have stronger friends.

Anyway, with that thought, I sat down.

Is everyone safe?

Kahaha, yes. You warned us, so theres nothing to worry about. Ive been having a lot of fun lately, studying the beasts of the deep. Theres a lot of them down there!

.Haha.

I couldnt help but chuckle at Atlass laugh. Ill change the gate so that it only appears in uninhabited areas, so that all the monsters fall into the sea Of course, I had to ask Atlass permission beforehand, but I was still glad that the gate was finally closed.

Afterward, I spoke briefly with Li Xiaofeng and Katana, both of whom had been the least affected by my much more accurate warnings of the events during the Moonlight Gate.

Hahaha! Thanks to you, Egostic, it looks like it wont be long before I have the country under my control. I dont know how to thank you for this!

And Li Xiaofeng was especially excited.

It seems that the Chinese governnt has been badly damaged by this disaster, and they are shaken.

Hes taking advantage of this opportunity to expand his range. Well, in the original story, he has eventually eaten the governnt, but I think it will happen soon.

Other than that, Katana said Japan received a little damage, so they were eager to recover. Everyone was busy, so this was the first ti we t in person since the Moonlight Gate disaster. Of course, there have been many personal contacts and diplomatic exchanges through Lee Seola, but were part of the East Asian Villains League, arent we?

Anyway, while we were catching up after a long ti Celeste arrived relatively early.

Is everyone comfortable?

She appeared dressed in white saintly robes, her head covered with a white veil and her eyes closed.

Dressed in pure white with golden embroidery, she exuded an air of mystery, as always.

And with her arrival, the eting finally began.

I see that so of you are missing.

She looked around the table for a mont, then said.

Her eyes are closed, how does she know, does she sense any aura?

While I was thinking about that, Celeste continued in a clear, mystical voice.

Ive heard that so of our colleagues have passed away, and I offer my condolences to them. May God watch over them.

So had died, after all.

Or rather, God watch over them sounds funny. A god who watches over villainsI guess shes not wrong.

Thats why Ive called you here today, to make sure the dust has settled and that everyone is alive, even if you dont want to share any information.because I have sothing to share with you.

And so, naturally, the ti for information sharing returned.

Celeste opened her mouth and what she said next was very revealing.

She hadnt expected to share it with them today.

Ladies and gentlen, as you can see from this incidentGods exists in this world.

Information about the gods of this world.

I had been nodding and listening until this point. Ah, is she going to release information about the gods on this occasion?

until I heard the next words.

And this ti, the god who caused this disaster is an evil god.

?

I froze at the suddenness of her words.

Eun-woos father, who was diligently blocking the dinsion in a white space that looked like it was going to make him go ntally ill, was the mysterious evil god

TLN: In case so of you forgot Moon God, its Eun-woos father.

Then she continued.

It was a long, rambling speech, but in the end.

Because the Sun God bent down and watched over us, this disaster was stopped.

It ended with a sun salute.

Hey, I stopped the gate with Eun-woo. The gate was closed by the Moon God.

I didnt ask, of course.I didnt know what she was up to.

Anyway, just like that, we exchanged a few more words, and the eting was quickly over, leaving wondering why it was called at all.

Well, at least they didnt talk about , so the aggro was less likely to be directed at . I was expecting a ntion of the Moonlight Gate, but thankfully there wasnt one.

Well, shall we be going then?

And just like that, everyone was on their feet, and I was on my way.

Oh. And Egostic.

You, uh, can I see you for a second?

From the far end of the round table, where Celeste sat, her voice echoed to .

Yes?

I stiffened, and couldnt help but turn my head.

There, I could only see Celestes silent, closed-eyed, smiling figure.

What are you doing to ?
