I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With Chapter 360:

Gap in knowledge.

When I know sothing that others don’t, that knowledge can be used as a weapon.

In other words, the information I possess, "The approach of the Sun God strengthens all abilities," is a weapon.

And the weapon was directed at Celeste, of course.

Because she's a saint obsessed with the Sun God, and she can maximize this information.

In other words, to others, this information is a weapon in and of itself, but I can sell drugs on where I got it.

Yes. Right in the middle of my plan to pretend to be a faithful apostle of the Sun God.

Ah! The Sun God told about this. He didn't tell you, did he?

That's why I've co here to the Cathedral now, to et with Celeste once again.

A pure white cathedral filled with a mystical atmosphere.

A regular eting of villains at the pinnacle of their respective nations.

I've grown accustod to this place, which ans so much to .

It was the sa old place, the sa old villains, just a place where they ca once in a while to socialize and gain new information.

"Egostic!"

"Yes. Hello."

And I, too, smiled at the group of people I had t through this Cathedral.

Katana, leader of Japan and Li Xiaofeng, leader of China, the mbers of our East Asia Villain Alliance.

And

"Kahaha! It's been a long ti since I've seen you, Egostic!"

Atlas appeared in the Cathedral after a very long ti, smiling cheerfully as usual.

…Sohow, he looked a little more scarred than usual.

I smiled at him and walked over to greet him.

"It's been a while, Mr. Atlas. How are you?"

"Yes. Yes, I am fine! It wasn't easy cutting up all those black monstrosities, but I did it."

He says with a big smile.

Atlas was unable to co to Cathedral the last few tis because he was busy defeating the monsters that invaded the sea. He then told that it was a pity that the sea expansion project could not be carried out due to defeating the monsters.

Then he sighed and said to ,

"And…Hah. Ariel has been pestering to let her see you again, my pain…."

He sighs, and I can only smile wryly at his words.

Anyway, that's how we talked for a long ti, until a woman entered the round table.

A woman with long silver hair, dressed in a pure white saint's habit. Celeste was coming this way.

"….."

She entered with her eyes closed, exuding an air of intelligence as always.

We hadn't seen each other since the last ti we were alone in the Sun God's temple, and she was kind of cute when she was all drained and shaking.

When I was thinking about it.

"Well…"

"…."

The villains around began to alternately stare at and Celeste as she entered.

They were probably waiting for it, since lately she started to argue with whenever she ca in.

But what they were expecting didn't happen.

"Let's start the eting."

She said in her usual clear voice.

…The difference was that she didn't look in my direction at all.

What is it?

"……"

Anyway, the eting went on peacefully like that.

Celeste didn't argue with at all….No. Rather, she seed to be deliberately ignoring .

…Hmm. I hope it's not because she's embarrassed about what happened last ti.

It's not like we had a bad breakup last ti, but the way she's gritting her teeth and not looking this way, it's possible…

Anyway, the eting ended peacefully.

…Considering what happened to Cathedral after Phase 4, this was probably the last ti we had a peaceful eting.

Celeste, anwhile, doesn't seem to want to talk to today, judging by the way her head is turned away and her eyes never leave mine when I speak.

But I can't let that happen.

"Thank you, everyone, this is the end of the eting."

And with that, Celeste ended the eting.

"Egostic, you're not leaving, are you?"

"Uh, yeah. Celeste and I need to talk."

"…Really? Haha, I don't know what it is, but have fun!"

With that, I parted ways with them and waited for Celeste as usual.

Then everyone left.

Celeste and I were the only two left.

She sat there, alone and silent, with her eyes closed.

Only after everyone had left did she speak up.

"…What is it?"

For so reason, she was cold to .

…Of course, she'd been cold to the whole ti, so it wasn't exactly threatening. If she really didn't want to talk to , she would have left first.

"Yes, of course. I wanted to talk to you about the Sun God."

"Hmph."

She replied coldly, her back still turned to .

I chuckled, opened my mouth, and said.

"Has God been speaking to you lately?"

"…No, why?"

"Well, because God spoke to again the other day."

"……."

I said it so plainly, without a hint of falsehood.

She turned her head away, then slowly turned her face back towards .

…Silently, she opened her eyes slightly, her golden gaze fixed on mine, and opened her mouth.

"…Tell ."

She can't take this, can she?

I smirked, seeing Celeste so interested in .

Okay, I'll spill the beans.

After the tour of the Temple of the Sun with Egostic, Celeste shuddered in embarrassnt.

"Ugh…"

"Hic…!

"…Boo, who said anything about being insecure, it's just a case of just in case. It's ridiculous.

"Ugh…"

Celeste is the strongest villain in the world, and ever since she awakened her powers, she's been in a position of dominance… She's never been under anyone's thumb.

And here she is….clinging to and relying on Egostic, who was far weaker than her, making terrified noises…

It was a shaful mory that she wished she could erase from her mind.

‘Haha…but at least it's not like I don't have any inco.’

Of course, despite that shaful experience, she still had inco.

She found an artifact of the Sun God in the temple and kept it.

And…Aside from the sha.

‘…Egostic, I see.’

It was also the mont that changed her perception of Egostic.

Not only did he know the location of a Temple of the Sun God she didn't know, but…

‘He had no intention of harming .’

Even when she was weak and could have been killed by a single shot, he smiled and protected her until the end.

…His appearance like that caused quite a stir in the heart of Celeste, who thought that if she was at the top and let her guard down, anyone would rush in and take her down.

It was enough to make her wonder if Egostic might actually be her ally.

"….."

And so she sat in her prayer chamber, her silver hair in a bun, not praying, but mulling over Egostic's thoughts.

…He had claid to be a follower of the Sun God, but she hadn't believed him until now for two simple reasons.

First, he went about eliminating the Sun God's creations at will. Second, he is a person who received the power of the Star God.

There was a third reason, that he always smirked, which made her think he had sothing up his sleeve…but that seed too far-fetched, so she decided to leave it out.

After all, she was the one who didn't believe in Egostic and labeled him as an enemy…

‘Do you really…?’

His behavior since then has gradually changed her mind.

The biggest reason she hadn't trusted him until now was that he possessed the power of Star God.

Three forgotten gods: sun, moon and stars. Among these, unlike the believers of the moon god who were quite widespread in the shadows, information about the Star God was extrely limited. There were very few people with her powers.

The strongest wielder of the power of the stars so far was Ex Machina, but beyond that, she knew little. There are a few in Europe and Stardus in Asia.

Anyway, when soone with the power of Star God claims to be an apostle of the Sun God, it's natural to be skeptical.

She thought he was a spy sent by the Star God.

But…

‘Really, what if the Sun God chose him?’

She began to think differently.

Perhaps the Sun chose him because he possessed the power of Star God, and an ally turned enemy is the most terrifying thing, and it would be a great help to educate him.

This thought was especially reinforced when she saw the color of Egostic' hair.

Even though she knew very little about the power of the stars, she still knew more than most.

‘Surely, from the information left in the books…'

It was said that those who had received the power of the Star God all had brilliant blonde hair.

However, Egostic' hair is black. Even so, he possesses the power of the stars…

‘…Because he is corrupted, is it?’

Yes. Maybe the power of the stars is corrupted because he believes in the Sun God.

It was a pretty good guess.

She thought to herself, and was persuaded.

‘Honestly…’

To be given an angel of the Sun God as a servant, to know the location of the Sun God's temple without his knowledge, and then to keep accusing him of being a spy for the stars…it was a bit much, even for her.

Especially since he wouldn't even touch her, it was obvious he thought she was an ally…

"Ugh…"

…She didn't know why the Sung God was silent to , but spoke to him.

Egostic really is…Could he be the Sun's chosen apostle?

She silently wondered about that.

…A full-blown delusion, just as Egostic intended.

As she continued to think about it.

"…Wait a minute."

…and she found herself thinking about the future again, this ti with Egostic kissing her.

It kept her awake for several nights, thinking that at this rate, it might actually happen…

When she saw him in Cathedral afterward, she gritted her teeth and avoided his gaze. She had a nagging feeling that if she made eye contact with him, she would blush…

Of course, that didn't stop him from staying and waiting for her, as if he had sothing to say.

Eventually, she was forced to confront him and talk to him….and she heard sothing shocking.

"…What?"

That's right. He said that there would co a day when all those who received the Sun God's power would beco many tis stronger.

And with that, he said.

"You heard right."

He smiled as he said that.
