Chapter 384: Time flies by

Phase 4, where the world is going to hell in a handbasket as the powers of heroes and villains explode.

Of course, its actually going to get worse after Gods declaration of judgment, so this is a time of peace.

The time went by pretty quickly.

In the meantime, Ive been diligently fulfilling my role in Cathedral, most notably, terrorizing the world as part of Cathedral world domination.

Now, as per the original plan, I was rotating through the members of our Egostream, continuing to convince the world that I was a villain.

Even if it was in collusion with Stardus

Admittedly, our members seemed to take the fight with Stardus a little too seriously.

[This is breaking news! Currently, Egostream has caused a terrorist attack at the Gangnam intersection! The leader of this terrorist attack is a so-called South Silver]

[Hee hee hee, Stardus, Im going to take you down this time!]

[]

Hah

I sighed as I watched Seo-eun on the TV screen, riding a giant robot and declaring war on Stardus.

Well, since I explained the situation to Stardus, it wont be a big fight anyway. In a way, this was a good opportunity for our members. For Stardus, its a chance for her to keep her skills up, and its a chance for us to improve against a powerful opponent like her.

And because Stardus is so strong, our members were able to fight well.

Stardus is especially strong against people with the power of the sun, but Seo-eun is fighting Stardus with the power of pure science without borrowing anything.

[Cackle]

I thought to myself as I watched the giant robot Seo-Eun was riding on the TV screen attacking Stardus with all kinds of high-tech weapons.

Yeah, but even if Seo-Eun just looks like a cute kid to me, shes actually one of the final bosses in Phase 3.

Of course.

[Yes! The bombing has now engulfed Stardus, will she be okay? The smoke clears Ah!]

When the smoke from Seo-Euns bombing, Stardus stood where she was.

[..]

Her eyes are a little fiercer and her suit a little torn but Stardus stood tall, seemingly unscathed.

Its our Stardus.

[Youll see!]

Anyway, the days terrorism ended in Stardus victory, of course.

Anyway, life went on as usual in Korea.

I and other villains cause terrorism, Stardus stops it.

Of course, there were occasional hiccups.

[Hehehe! Where is the hero called Stardus? I, Peria of Egypt, will defeat you!]

Once the word got out that Stardus was the strongest hero in the world, some of the most insane villains from around the world began to arrive.

They were dangerous, and they werent controlled by Cathedral, but

HahWhat should we do, Da-in, should we take care of them beforehand?

No. I think we can leave them alone.

I didnt really care about the original villains, unless they were famous.

Because.

[Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaah]

[the villain who identified himself as Peria, taken down in a single blow!]

I knew it was coming.

Anyway, as these things often happen Stardus stature continues to grow.

And this, of course, has certainly helped me as Ive gained ground in Cathedral.

Though now, of course, I wasnt so dependent on her.

Well, then, lets start the regular Cathedral meeting.

And nowI was, once again, in the great cathedral where Cathedral held its regular meetings.

The ceiling soaring to the heavens, the worlds villains seated around a long rectangular table and then, facing them, Celeste sat down and opened her mouth with her usual air of mystery.

The usual meeting of the Cathedral had begunHowever, there was something different.

Yes. Then Ill take over the briefing from here on out.

Wearing my usual white mask, I smirked, stood up, and said,

As of late, the entire operation and grand plan of Cathedral has passed through my hands at Celestes request.

And when she suggested that I might as well explain the plan to them myself, I jumped at the chance.

Thus, as of late, I have taken over the command of Cathedrals operations.

Now, if you look at the map in the middle here

I began my speech, summoning a blue holographic globe in the center of the table.

Hmmm I see.

Fortunately, most of the villains took my command in stride without much reaction.

Partly because of my behavior in Cathedral so far and partly because of the way Ive informed the other major villains in advance. Everyone listens to me and follows me.

Especially the villains who were distrustful of me were surprised when all of their operations after hearing my words were successful.

No wonder. The knowledge of the original and Seo-euns intensive analysis of each individual was a must-have in the first place. It would be even stranger if it didnt work.

After a few meetings Ive now succeeded in encompassing the entirety of Cathedral.

Im the one running the meetings these days, and even Celeste, the de facto leader, supports me fully and rightfully so.

Yeah. I guess we can trust Egostic, hahaha.

Especially since all the large-scale, continental-scale operations Ive led have been successful, its gotten to the point where everyone listens to me and trusts me. In fact, the large-scale invasions of Cathedral were more detailed in the original maps than the smaller ones, so it was easier to plan

And since its come to this Ive been subtly pulling Cathedral in my direction.

And, gentlemen. We, Cathedral, are not merely a terrorist organization, we are aiming for conquest, so if I may offer some advice

I said, pointing in the direction of the Khedive.

Dont harm the civilian population. After all, if we conquer a country, arent all the people who live there ours? We need their trust to stay strong after we overthrow the Association. For example, Ms. Katana, who conquered Japan, was able to overthrow the government because she had the support of the citizens.

In this way I was transforming Cathedral into a de facto conquering force rather than a group of villains.

In particular, we are providing more information and support to countries where the government has become so corrupt that it is virtually safe to remain under Cathedrals protection.

I wanted to make the villains feel a sense of belonging to their country so that they can defend their country on the day of destruction.

Well. Cathedrals influence is growing.

Smaller nations with weak Associations have already had their governments taken over by Cathedral, and even some of the more prominent nations have lost their capitals and smaller cities to Cathedral.

The administrative system is so organized and rational under Celestes leadership that the common people cant tell the difference between being under her and under the government. Its Celeste, after all.

Well, that concludes our briefing for the day, thank you.

With that, the briefing concluded, I sat back down.

Thank you, Egostic. Now, please feel free to discuss.

Celeste concluded her remarks.

Soon, the room was once again in an uproar.

quite a few people had gathered, especially toward my side of the room, where I was directing the entire operation.

Hey, Egostic. What was it we were talking about earlier? I need to hear it again.

Excuse me, Mr. Egostic, I dont have time after today.

I need to ask about a part of your plan that I didnt understand

HahaPlease tell me one by one.

.

With that, I hurriedly answered the other villains questions, earning a piercing glare from Celeste beside me.

These days, if I dont go right after Celeste when were done, shell pout.

***.

After todays meeting was over

Ha

Im slumped over in Celestes office, sitting in my own chair, legs outstretched.

Celeste looks at me and clicks her tongue.

What kind of man is tired from that?

What does that have to do with being a man?

Hmm.

As if she didnt have anything to say to me, she turns her head quickly.

No. I see that her ears are a little red, so maybe theres another reason, but whatever.

I sat down and looked towards Celeste.

Celeste is the most important person in preventing the destruction of the Sun Gods world.

Id been getting closer and closer to her lately and we were practically an office couple now.

However, I still felt I wasnt enough. For her happiness and for the peace of the worldI need to get a little closer, a little more

I thought to myself.

I mumbled something and turned to Celeste, who was drinking her coffee with her eyes closed.

Celeste. Im free for a whileDo you want to go on a date?

YeahWait, what?

Celeste spilled some of her coffee.
