[Mangostick~! Mangostick ~! Mangostick ~! Mangostick ~! Mangostick ~! Mangostick ~! Mangostick ~! Mangostick ~ Mangostick ~ Mangostick ~ Mangostick ~ Mangostick ~ Mangostick ~ Mangostick ~ Mangostick ~ Mangostick ~]
[Now you’re starting the chat window with a bunch of crap when he started a new broadcast]
[Mango Mango]
[Already seeing the red dragon in the sky, if you thought Mango had done something, you’re a fool]
[I have a test tomorrow and I’m watching the broadcast ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]
[How many tens of thousands of viewers can you see in an instant?]
[The GOAT is shaking up Korea again today!]
[Mango punch! Mango punch! Mango punch! Mango punch! Mango punch!]
*
In the center of Seoul, I stood on top of a building with my arms wide open, smiling, and turned on the broadcast.
People still reacted enthusiastically and I was moved to tears by the sight of a nation that loves to celebrate, even terrorizing.
Anyway, that’s not the point.
In the interest of speeding things up, I cut to Li Xiaofeng standing behind me.
“Yes, I have a very special guest today, my friend Li Xiaofeng, China’s S-class villain and head of the Villain Alliance Fire Dragon!”
“…..Hmm. Nice to meet you.”
At his appearance, the chat heats up.
*
[???????????????]
[Mango… bringing a guy on the air?]
[Go!!!! This is not the Mangostick I know!]
[Egostic… doesn’t have a woman on the air?]
[This isn’t real life…]
[Now, Mangostick, who’s been hooking up with men all along…What is he?]
[Who are you? You’re not Egostic!]
[For the first time I’m bringing a male colleague with me, I’m having a chat window seizure…]
[First time male coworker (Death Knight tears)]
[You guys… forgot about Desik, he was a guy too…]
[Honestly, I was expecting it from the last Triple Alliance lol]
*
“….”
…The important thing is, uh, heating up but they didn’t get heated up because I brought China’s most famous and influential S-class villain, they got heated up because they focused on the fact that one of my colleagues was a man…
Clearly, these people are not normal.
Whatever. Actually, it wasn’t about the viewers’ reactions.
I aired the broadcast today, not for content, but simply as a final test of Stardus skills before the Moonlight Gate catastrophe.
Of course, there’s also the matter of publicizing the bond between me and Li Xiaofeng to the wider, international community, which is already being written about by the mere fact that he’s here in person.
So I cut straight to the chase.
“Anyway, everyone, do you see that giant red dragon hovering over Seoul?”
*
[red dragon blue dragon Mangostick in between]
[Ahhh last time it was a western dragon, now it’s an eastern dragon]
[There’s a dragon parade going on in Korea]
[Already photographed and certified to Instagram flooding in]
[Already under the dragon floating place]
*
“Anyway, Stardus, please come, or that fiery dragon will start spewing flames towards the city below!”
As I said this, I pointed to the great red oriental dragon hovering in the sky before me.
Its size was huge, its length was enormous, and its entire body was burning like a phoenix.
That was Li Xiaofeng’s Alpha and Omega, his ability that allowed him to conquer China.
*
[Fire Dragon flying over Seoul]
[Fire dragon cackles and cries]
[Is that the famous Fire Dragon? I never thought I’d get to see this with my own eyes…]
[If you are in Korea, you can watch the terror of all the villains in the world? Sit down and watch the world through the Egostic show]
[Fire Dragon Cool ~~~~~]
[So what’s this combination, flaming mango? Fire mango?]
[It’s kinda funny that Stardus is taking on all the global villains when she’s just in Korea, lol Keep up the good work Stardus~~~]
*
Anyway, leaving the viewers to their own devices I turned away from the broadcast screen for a moment, and when I returned to Li Xiaofeng.
“So… it’s like that.”
He was muttering something to himself.
“Disguising terrorism as entertainment with a light and fun attitude, gaining the favor and support of the people. Clever, clever…”
“Li Xiaofeng?”
“Hmm? Oh, excuse me, I was thinking of something else for a moment.”
At my words, he stopped his thoughts, looking back at me and saying that.
…Suspicious, suspicious. He must have been saying something weird.
Anyway, I asked Li Xiaofeng again.
“Do you understand? You must never…”
“Not to hurt Stardus more than necessary, and not to destroy the city. Haha, I understand, don’t worry, how could I forget your request?”
He smiles faintly and replies like that.
…Okay, let’s not be too suspicious, I’ve already set up the device just in case.
Just as I was thinking that.
“…You’re already here.”
From the other side of the sky, a hero flew by, her blonde hair whipping around, it was Stardus, of course.
“Li Xiaofeng, are you ready?”
I asked and Li Xiaofeng nodded briefly, then began to move, his hands spinning in a circular motion in front of him.
[Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle-!]
Letting out a roar, the red dragon began to move in the sky and then, looking down at the fleeing people, I spoke to him briefly.
“Please.”
“Yes.”
Just like that, Li Xiaofeng made a move and immediately teleported to her.
“Da-in!”
“Uh, Seo-eun, give it to me.”
A hidden container placed near the place where the terror was happening.
Despite its shabby exterior, it was filled with all sorts of high-tech gadgets and monitors. I grabbed the headphones Seo-Eun handed me and sat down in front of one of the monitors.
-Weeeeeeeee.
With the sound of something spinning Stardus and the red dragon appeared on the monitor.
[Estimated Vital Index]
[Current speed in kilometers per second]
[Current power estimate]
[Traveling trajectory]
…
The monitors beside me were filled with tables that displayed various instruments that could roughly calculate Stardus current physical condition and fatigue index.
That’s right.
This attack had only one purpose. To make sure that Stardus is in good enough shape to take on the “beast” that will appear in the Moonlight Gate Catastrophe.
Therefore, through this fight, I had to determine the exact state of Stardus body.
“Stardus…”
Show me what you’re made of.
With that thought, I focused on the fight.
Now, the blueprint for a battle for the fate of our nation was about to unfold here!
“….”
Stardus was in a bad mood.
Lately, despite the terrorism being blamed on Egostic, it felt like she was always fighting other villains and not Egostic himself.
…Of course, it’s not like she missed him or anything, of course not!
Still, if he called her, then shouldn’t they at least meet face to face? How can he leave her alone with a foreigner she doesn’t recognize upon arrival?
-Hiss.
“Chit.”
Stardus thought, dodging the flames flying toward her.
Some kind of giant, flaming weapon was attacking her, tearing through the air.
She knew about this villain, as she watched the news abroad but she just never thought she’d have to fight it,
‘…Where the hell am I supposed to hit it?’
It’s hard to know where to attack when his whole body is on fire.
At least his face isn’t on fire, so she guessed she should attack there, but…
“Ha.”
[Kiraaaaahhhhhhhhhh-!]
“Ugh…”
Dodging another attack from the giant dragon monster that looked like something out of a mobile game at high speed, she thought of a plan to attack the head.
Quite a bit of time passed in this confrontation.
…Well, it was a good fight, as it was similar to the white dragon she fought last time. However,
‘…Something’s wrong.’
Looking at that dragon, she felt a strange sensation.
It felt more like a test than a battle…?
She had fought countless battles so she could feel it.
Clearly, the dragon that Li Xiaofeng was controlling…was showing very careful control.
‘…Strange.’
She thought to herself as she dodged the dragon’s flames again and again.
One attack came from the right, then the left and then from the center. She wondered if she was in for a surprise, but after checking her reaction, the dragon stopped attacking.
Something was definitely wrong.
‘…What the hell?’
She asked herself as she was reading everything intuitively, without realizing it.
