I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With Chapter 289:

After returning from Cathedral I sat at ho for a few days, thinking about things.

I realized one thing after my trip to Cathedral.

This is not easy

I realized that the last half of the original was not easy.

The final boss was a problem, but Celeste seed to be a big problem too. Can I stop her?

Well, there was still ti, so I didnt get too excited and worried. However, I realized that I would be in trouble if I didnt co up with a counterasure soon. After all, the best plan is to appease her without turning her into an enemy in the first place

I dont know, I dont know

I started to do what I could, one step at a ti.

Right now, Im trying to figure out the villains that are going to appear in this phase.

The biggest problem, Seo-Eun, is completely my ally but that doesnt an the other villains are okay. Right off the bat, Dungeon Maker is not normal and its not unusual to have villains who act differently from the original.

I decided to get these crazies out of the way first, so I could get on with whatever else I was doing, whether it was beating up bosses or sothing else. Get them out of the way and get ready for Phase 4.

So back at the house, I picked up my laptop and got to work.

.

As a result, the mbers of our Egostream beca depressed again.

HeyAre you having fun?

Seo-eun Do you think Da-in is having fun?

Its a sunny spring day again.

Birds are chirping in the mountains, and the bright sun is shining through the trees in the front garden of the big house.

Im sitting on a bench, tapping away on my laptop, and Seo-Eun is sitting at the table across from , her cheeks puffed out.

This is too much, too much. You can take a day off on a day like today~

Of course, Seo-Eun, who said that, was also assembling a cube or sothing with a strange toolkit and while we were sitting at the table in front of the garden Choi Se-hee, who was playing with lightning when Seo Jae-young next to her, ca down from the sky, flipped her hair back, and said to .

What the hell did you do at that villain eting? Youre suddenly so eager.

She asked as she casually sipped my drink from the straw on the round table.

I narrowed my eyes at her before turning back to my laptop.

Its just I thought it would be a good idea to prepare for the future.

Even though I had crossed the big mountain of the Moonlight Gate, I still felt nervous about sothing.

Its not because I want to finish and retire. Its because Im afraid sothing will happen.

Anyway, I dont know what kind of surprises will co my way, so I decided to get things done while I still have ti. Just like with Dungeon Maker Its good to be prepared for anything.

So this ti, Im looking into the main events of the original Phase 3.

In particular, as the main disaster was a major prison break, I was mainly investigating events related to the Eastern Superhuman Detention Center, also known as Isk Karkeris, where villains are imprisoned

Sothing has been bothering for a while now, and Ive been looking into it.

However, Ive gotten to the point where Im getting a little stressed out about the lack of information.

And. There was sothing more troubleso.

Recently, there was a mory that stuck in my mind.

You dont like holding hands with .?

Ha

I muttered, looking at my laptop screen with my head down.

Ever since then, the image of Stardus has been haunting . That day must have been a bit of a trigger.

To Stardus, Im nothing more than a masked, rolling, talking potato. She doesnt care about at all

I dont care if its with you.

..

Ha.

I dont know.

I dont know why Ive been thinking about this lately. Im getting lost.

Thats when I was lost in thought, staring blankly at the monitor and scratching my head.

-Bam.

Suddenly, the laptop slamd shut.

From where the screen was, the face of a woman with purple hair, Seo Jae-young, appeared.

?

Uh-huh.

When I gave her a puzzled look, she took her hand out of her large hoodie and wagged her finger in front of .

She then laid down my laptop on the table and leaned in close to .

You shouldnt be working so hard. You need to take a break to clear your head and get so fresh air, okay?

Seo Jae-young looked at with wide eyes and said that with a serious face.

At that ti, Seo-eun was nodding her head while saying, Yes, big sister. I was surprised because it was the first ti I saw Seo Jae-young speak so seriously. Was she a girl who could speak like this?

And when I was thinking that Seo Jae-young began to lt on the table.

And I need you to deal with Choi Se-hee instead of Im tired

Hey Seo Jae-young, where did you run off to, arent you coming back to train?

I saw Choi Se-hee smiling down from the sky, and Seo Jae-young covered in sweat on closer inspection, so I concluded.

I realize now that she ran away from a duel with Choi Se-hee that was supposed to be a ga using her powers.

Yeah, well. I suppose its okay if I take a break to stretch my legs.

With that, I left Seo Jae-young lying on the table and stood up, smirking at Choi Se-hee.

Hey. Lets do it with from now on.

Huh? Are you feeling okay?

Of course.

HmphWell, you cant cry if you lose.

Haha, thats an interesting thing to say.

I said as I looked at Choi Se-hee, who had her orange hair tied back and was giggling and bouncing lightning bolts.

The black tentacles attached to my body like a bulletproof vest and slithered toward my arms. It was the Behemoth, which had been with for years and had almost beco a part of my body.

I fought Choi Se-hee with my right arm covered in black tentaclesfor quite a while, but I had to stop when Soobin asked to eat.

For the record, I almost won the fight.

***

Anyway, thats how my day went.

The only difference is that I took breaks from ti to ti to research the villains harder than before, and Seo-Eun eventually started to help.

However, I was still a little worried about Stardus. I an, Ive been strangely self-conscious since our last eting. I shouldnt be. This should be a strictly business villain-hero relationship. Im a big fan of hers.

Of course, Ive always been known for my ntal toughness, so I quickly cald down. Yeah. Forget about Stardus, Im sure shes already forgotten about it. After all, if I didnt see Stardus for a while, I would naturally forget the feel of her hand in mine, or whatever.

So I went back to focusing on learning more about the Eastern Prison and the more I did, the more I realized sothing was amiss.

.I dont know whats going on here.

I spent the next few days trying to figure it out and the next morning, after so research, I realized.

Ha

Da-in, are you up?

After saying good morning to Soobin, I sat down on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and thought about it.

Okay. I guess I can just settle this matter this ti and be done with it. All I have to do is go out and do so fieldwork.

In other words, I can rest for a while.

With that in mind, I took the remote.

[101 reasons why its obvious Stardus loves Egostic!]

and frowned at the ridiculous prose that popped up.

It was ridiculous.

And this was on channel 2 of this station, and the opposite was being shown on channel 1 earlier.

No, theyre still talking about and Stardus, thats how they get ratings?

It was ridiculous.

[Reasons why Stardus is a fan of Egostic! The first one is]

Still.

Just in case, I need to see what kind of bullshit hes talking about. Lets take a peek.

And thats when I turned down the volu on the TV and sneakily looked at the screen.

[Breaking news!]

Suddenly, the screen changed, and an urgent news report popped up.

Well, I knew it, thats why I had the TV on.

The anchor began to urgently convey the situation along with the data screen.

[A tsunami of epic proportions is currently bearing down on Busan, the largest ever recorded, and is believed to be the work of a villain]

With those words the scene changed to one where a massive tsunami is heading towards the city.

In the background, theres a whirlwind in the ocean, clearly a man-made terrorist attack. Who the hell is this villain that can do that?

Is there such a villain?

Just as I was thinking of all the water-related abilities the anchor hurriedly began to give more information as the cara captured the figure floating on the tidal wave on the screen.

And then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a girl in an aqua suit with blue hair standing on the waves.

Ariel?

At the sa ti as I mumbled that in a daze.

[The villain who caused the current terror seems to be related to the villainous organization Latis!]

The anchors words also began to ring in my ears.

Whats going on?
