Chapter 402:
…Of course, there was a faction of the populace that was ecstatic that I was on the air again.

[Mango <<<<< Just a god? Massive props, lol]
[Honestly, isn\'t the Sun God < just going to get ^dicked^ by Mango? lol]
[(Hands on conscience) Only people who were fucking anxious and then calmed down as soon as they saw Egostic on the air]
[(Personal opinion) When did South Korea change its name to the Republic of Mango? I seriously don\'t know.]
[Sun God suddenly looks like shit after watching Egostic broadcast.]
[Sun God. Honestly, isn\'t the name crappy? There are several stars in the universe, but one sun?][[Summary] The events that could happen after the Association X Cathedral collaboration…list]
[The most anticipated event after the Association–Cathedral alliance is this]

"….."
After my speech to the world I went over a few more points of agreement with the President of the Association, and then took a break and sighed when I saw a message from Seo-Eun.
‘You\'re broadcasting so well that it\'s making a fuss~\' is nice, but why does she always have to bring up my fan cafe situation…
Well, I\'m the one who checks it every time.
Even as I thought this, I clicked on the last post of the link, as if I were mesmerized.

[This is the event I\'m most looking forward to after the Association Cathedral Alliance.]

So what happened to the "Hero-Villain relationships are impossible!!" cries from the non-Ego-star faction? In the end, the world didn\'t perish, but the ones pushing for other pairings did, lol.

Let\'s have a drink to the victorious Egostars~!

[lol]
[Man, that was epic, lolololol]
[Now that I think about it, you\'re right, lol. It all comes back to the main couple, haha.]
[We are living in the era of mango flavored stardus]
[No no no~ Association and Cathedral’s cooperation? It\'s impossible not to come into contact with Icicle, the de facto ruler of Korea. In the end, it\'s IceMango who laughs at the end.]

[Grandpa is doing this again…Take your medicine.]

[Holy crap, what I\'ve been fantasizing about is finally coming trueㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ EgoStar Gang is on fire nowㅋㅋㅋ]

"…Haha."
Why did I press this?
‘…Well. Is it good that they\'re still talking about this, because it\'s positive, when God is about to destroy the world?’
I don\'t know.
Anyway, with that thought, I put my phone back in my pants.
Anyway, the fire was out.
Now the world won\'t descend into anarchy as the panicked masses rise up en masse like in the original.
Maybe a few would, but the governments would wake up, and we\'d just have to tighten up security and catch them.
‘…The fire is out, for now.’
There was still much work to be done.
Soon the world will be overrun by the Sun God\'s influence, and I must prepare for that, and I still have some work to do with Celeste, and eventually I must prepare to face the Gods.
But first things first.
‘…Stardus, first.’
With that thought, I rose from my seat.
By now, Stardus should have finished her meeting with the Star God.
I needed to go see her immediately, to see how she was doing after her conversation with the Star God.
Perhaps now she will awaken as a true hero of the world, knowing the mission she has been given.
…Of course, in the original, the world was already dying in real time, so her knowing her identity didn\'t change anything dramatically…
However, it\'s different now.
I\'m by her side…The whole world is going to hold together.
‘Good.’
Let\'s put everything else aside and meet with Stardus first.
With that thought in mind, I prepared to return to Korea, thinking about how I would meet Stardus…
Then I realized something important.
‘…Wait a minute.’
As the saying goes in my fan café, I don\'t have to sneak up on Stardus anymore, do I?
The Association and Cathedral are going to be working together, so I could meet her openly and no one would say anything.
Shortly after I realized that.
When the words of the International Association President\'s decision to ally with Cathedral had reached every Association branch in every country, the staff was busy with it.
"Hmph. Eh, Egostic…?!"
"Haha. Hello, hello, hello."
At the entrance of the Korean Association, the main S-class villain of the Korea Association, Egostic, teleported.
…Yeah. It\'s me.
Hmm. This is new again.
In the middle of the association office.
The Association staff were stunned by my surprise appearance there, but I smiled and waved kindly. I\'m not going to hurt you, don\'t be scared.
Luckily, they didn\'t grab me because they had already told the staff.
Anyway, they looked at me and whispered in horror.
"It\'s Egostic!"
"Oh my God… It\'s Egostic!"
"Wait, where\'s my camera…?"
…Are they whispering in terror?
Anyway, I grabbed one of the people surrounding me, smiled at her, and asked.
"Hey, do you happen to know where Stardus is?"
"Uh huh. Uh, yes, yes. Uh, she\'s in the Oval Office."
"Thank you."
"I, I\'m more grateful…"
Why the hell are you thankful?
Anyway, for some reason, there was a crowd of people in the association office, centered around me, but no one was trying to grab me. I\'m sure the president of the association will come after me when he hears about this.
…Okay, let\'s head straight to Stardus\' office.
"…No need to look for me, I\'m here."
A voice came from in front of me.
I immediately turned around at the sound and saw the person I\'d been looking for all along, with blonde hair and a familiar-looking hero suit.
"…Stardus. There you are."
I greet her with a smile, and she smiles back.
…She probably smiled unconsciously, but she quickly stiffened her face as she realized what was happening.
There was a gasp from the surroundings already.
"Now that I think about it, it\'s legal…"
"I see, you two always had that kind of relationship…"
…It sounds like they\'re also saying something strange.
Is this the only kind of people in the association, or do they only come here to sell hero villains?
Anyway, I decided that I\'d make more noise if I stayed here, so I walked straight to her, ignoring the oohs and ahhs around me.
"Gentlemen, if you\'ll excuse me."
With that, I grabbed Stardus\' hand and teleported away.
…If I thought I saw her smile one last time, I was mistaken.
***
Meeting her once more in her office behind closed doors, I smiled and asked her.
"Stardus, how are you?"
She smiles and sighs, then sits down across the desk in front of me.
I\'d already told her this was going to happen today, so she didn\'t panic, and she spoke to me calmly.
"…As you said, I\'ve put everything on emergency alert with the president. All the heroes are on standby, and the government will probably declare martial law soon…For the time being, we should be fine."
"Good work."
"More than that, there\'s something I wanted to tell you…"
Stardus said, and then proceeded to tell me about her meeting with the Star God.
How she was the savior of mankind, the one who would stop the Sun God, how there were gods in this world…
I already knew the story, but I listened anyway. Well, there\'s no difference in the words from the original.
…The only difference was that Stardus said that the Star God smiled as she spoke…That was definitely a difference from the original. In the original, she was sullen and apologized to Stardus.
Perhaps, things have changed thanks to me.
…Now that I think about it, it\'s kind of embarrassing. That\'s a smile you got from selling me.
‘Yeah…’
Well. I saved the world for Stardus, not for the Star God, so it didn\'t matter.
Anyway, as she spoke in a small voice, I gave her a look of disbelief and said.
"…I see, the gods are discerning."
"I don\'t know. I\'m still in a bit of a daze…I wonder if I\'ll be any good."
She says that with a slightly bitter smile.
Hearing the unspoken words, I quickly grabbed her hand and said.
"No, Stardus, you can do it….Didn\'t I tell you, you always, always can."
"Egotistic…"
"So, don\'t worry too much. I\'ll help you."
"Yeah…"
Seeing Stardus face, which seemed to perk up slightly at my words, I smiled.
In time, her strength will grow stronger. By then, I won\'t have to worry about her.
After all, she defeated the Sun God in the original story.
Anyway, Stardus seems to be safe.
Now, let\'s get down to business.
‘…It’s time to talk about how we’ll defend the Sun God.’
I thought to myself silently and smiled wickedly.
The warm gifts I had prepared to greet the Sun God were just the beginning.
