Chapter 77: Launching Ceremony
The underground basement.
I was gathering the members there and explaining my grand plans.
To sum up in one sentence, it will be another force responding to the Hero Association.
The plan is to gather villains with various abilities and become another pillar of power in Korea.
"…What do you do with all that?"
"What do I do? Terrorism and get rid of other villains."
"…I mean, you said we were going to be the Villain Union. But what do you mean by dealing with other villains?"
"What do you mean? I mean, we\'re allied with the "together" villains, and we\'re dealing with the villains who are against us."
As I have dealt with so many villains so far, I intend to continue to do it. Of course, it will be in the form of me who mainly has the original knowledge.
The new villains also need to recruit a few more based on their original knowledge. Only the strongest ones.
"Anyway, that\'s why we have to name our federation. How about Egosquad?"
I gave my opinion first. Egosquad. Egosquad. Isn\'t it not bad?
However, Choi Sehee, who listened to me, replied with a subtle face.
"This is the Egosquad you mentioned last time, right? Well, it\'s not bad."
She put her chin on her back in earnest.
Then, others began to discuss what to name it with serious faces. No, wait. Why are you so serious about this? I\'m just doing everything roughly.
"Hey? Guys? Why don\'t we just go to Egosquad?"
When I waved my hands to them and said, Ha-yul turned her head and answered with my eyes.
"Da-in oppa. It\'s a name that you keep using once you decide, so you have to decide it properly once you decide."
I nodded my head unconsciously at the sight of her speaking seriously with a strange spirit.
All right, whatever you want.
"…Also, your villain name… If we were here in the first place… It would properly…"
The girls continued to discuss something with whispers.
After hours of discussion, the name of the Villain Union was decided by Egostream.
But what\'s the difference between Egosquad and that?
***
Again, back to the present.
Currently, I was floating in the air holding Choi Sehee, who passed out, in a princess style.
Looking into Stardus\' eyes.
"Long time no see. It\'s Egostic. Nice to see you!"
[Egostic! Egostic! Egostic! Egostic! Egostic! Egostic! Egostic! Egostic!]
[Oppa, I\'m going to die, oppa, I\'m going to die]
[What kind of angle is this? Hahaha.]
[It\'s so much fun as soon as the show starts. Hahahahahaha]
[Going against Stardus right away ON]
The chat window welcomed me.
I can\'t believe the villain show’s chat window that loves me too much is real. This place has already become a playground for my fan cafe.
Anyway, the chat window is not important right now.
Let\'s focus on the Stardus in front of us for now.
"How have you been, Stardus?"
I winked at her and greeted her.
An attractive villain is a way to provoke an opponent by showing a pleasant appearance as if he were close to a hero without formality.
In fact, she looked a little dazed, whether my strategy worked.
Even her eyes were shaking. What\'s wrong with her? Is it something to be so shocked about?
Soon, as if she had regained her senses, she asked me in a slightly trembling voice.
"Egostic… Were you alive?"
What kind of question is this?
"Yes, of course. I\'m alive and well, all right. Unfortunately!"
She sighs a little relieved at my joke.
What does that sigh mean? It cannot be that she feels relieved that I\'m alive, so does she feel relieved that I still look crazy? I can\'t interpret her well.
"…Yes, that\'s a relief."
Huh? That\'s a relief
"What? Thank God? Are you so glad I\'m alive? Hey, I didn\'t know Ms. Stardus thought of me like that. I should have said hello in advance. Hahaha!"
Her face turns slightly red when I say that with a smile.
I was laughing and joking on the outside, but I was spinning my head inside.
What\'s a relief? What\'s a relief? Oh, is she glad that I was hurt and left last time? But why does Shin Haru care about that? She doesn\'t usually care about things like that.
Wait, this is on air.
I looked sideways at the chat window for a moment. As expected, the chatroom is a mess.
[She\'s a hero who worries about villains…]
["Are you alive?" "I\'m glad." What romance movie are you two filming?]
[Those fanfic authors are writing "Dating Rumors" season 2 with their laptops on Hahahaha.]
[I don\'t know, but I got the clip Hahaha.]
[Stardus is clinging to Mango Stick… The Republic of Korea is over…]
All right. I\'ll turn off the chat room now.
Anyway, as I continued to smile so slyly, Stardus shot back with a slightly red face.
"I\'m glad I could put you in the camp myself. You\'re the one who needs to be brought to justice. I was just worried that he might have died without proper punishment, but I didn\'t mean it in a different way!"
Oh, it was like that?
Well, she couldn\'t have worried about me. A hero who worries about a villain? I\'ve never heard of it in my life.
It\'s like Stardus was worried about me secretly dying somewhere without being judged by the law.
…But apart from that, her face was still red. Why?
Anyway, she must have come to her senses again, looking at Choi Sehee who I\'m holding and asking me.
"…So, now, why did you show up?"
"Don\'t you know when you see it? I came out to save my colleague."
"…A colleague?"
Stardus looked at me in confusion.
Yeah, it\'s important from here.
It’s time to announce to Stardus and the whole nation who are watching this at the same time..
My aspirations, my goals.
First of all, let\'s start like this.
I continued, smiling, and talking.
"Yes! I mean it, colleagues. She’s a colleague from our union, to be exact."
"Union?"
She looks at me and asks me back. It\'s good that the reaction comes out right away.
And, right.
Now let\'s start the show here.
"Yes, the Union!"
I shot up saying that.
Stardus flinched a little, perhaps because she thought I was about to do a sudden attack, but I just went a little higher up in the sky.
And to some extent, when I\'m in a composition that\'s definitely looking down at her.
I spoke out to her and to the camera filming me from the front.
"Think about it. What do heroes have? There\'s an association. They have support, cooperation, and power because there\'s an association."
I nodded my head saying that.
In the camera video, the image of the Hero Association building was behind me with the CG prepared in advance.
"By the way."
That\'s all I\'ve said, then I stopped talking a little.
At the same time, the association\'s appearance disappears behind it, and the background is black. At the same time, a close-up from the camera.
Gradually toward the screen that showed my face closer, I whispered quietly.
"For the villains, what the hell is there?"
As soon as I said that, the CG went out around me again.
The sight of countless villains being defeated by heroes, circling around me in a small way.
Between those videos, I opened my mouth again.
"The history of villains has always been an individual activity. So they were easily repulsed and, without being able to lead any forces, they were caught in a fad and disappeared into the dew of the camp."
I was now flying my cape and rising to a higher sky. And still, Choi Sehee, who is lying in my arms and holding her breath.
I looked down at her, hugged her slightly tightly, and spoke in a low voice.
"How long do villains have to live like this?\'
"Until when, do villains have to be defeated every time?"
"Until when do villains have to work alone?"
Having said that, I raised my head again and looked straight at Stardus, and at the camera.
"I have a dream."
"The Republic of Korea\'s villains unite to face heroes and their enemies together."
"I\'ve decided to create a world."
"Let me introduce you!"
After saying that, I held Choi Sehee using my telekinesis, and then opened my arms widely.
With that, the caption in front of me came out.
[THE EGOSTREAM]
Now, even the majestic music is playing.
I slowly came down to the ground again, reciting in a low voice.
"I\'m going to live for the villains now."
"Villain Union Egostream, starting today."
"You\'d better be nervous, Association."
Having said that, I flapped my cape and turned back. The cape flying behind me in the wind.
And, the sound of the wind coming from behind. Also.
I shouted out loud, still not looking back.
"Electrichu! 1 million volts right now!"
"… Haa"
With Choi Sehee\'s low sigh in my arms, the stem of the shock waves flew strongly from my chest to the back.
At the same time, with a squeaky voice, I heard someone brushing against me.
"…Stardus, it\'s still five years early to catch me. You need to work harder."
As I glanced back, I saw Stardus avoiding electric waves. Maybe I waited when I was making a fuss and tried to take advantage of my carelessness to make a surprise attack.
It\'s not a bad strategy.
If it wasn\'t for me who knew her whole way of thinking.
"Then, goodbye! Adios."
"Hey!"
I took off fast.
Turn off the broadcast that is causing a stir in the chat window, and watch Stardus approaching to avoid the electricity emitted by Electra.
Before I go, I said one more thing.
"And Stardus. Sooner or later, we\'ll have another business. See you then."
After saying that with a slight smile, I really teleported.
Stardus\' voice was heard in the background, but it wasn\'t my business.
I\'ll see you next time.
