Ep.140 Swarming Storm

The fall of Brazil

In the original work, the world is slowly heading toward a mess from this point.

The number of people with superpowers, who were obviously a few in the past, is increasing. The number of villains is growing accordingly, as they’re invading foreign countries in a coalition.

So far, Behemoth, Wolgwanggyo, and HanEun group have been devastated only by Korea, but now everything is beginning to be overwhelmed globally. Of course, our country is twice as impoverished.

And of course, I don’t intend to see that happen.

Even if I can’t cover overseas due to lack of information, wouldn’t I be able to prevent Korea, a small peninsula, with my efforts?

After all, the international community will fall into confusion.

Of course, it takes force to survive this war.

And in this world, talent can be said to be the most essential thing in the end, as all forces rely on superpowers.

In other words, it is a battle that matters which parties have at least one more talent.

“…..”

And I already have a better pool of talent than anyone else.

Seo-eun, the strongest hacker and inventor, Death Knight the immortal fighting weapon, and the magic user Eun-wol, a different concept from superpowers. I rescued them before they went terrible way like in the original.

Some of the villains appearing there later are so clever that they can cast them in advance. Two examples are Choi Se-hee, a valuable elemental talent, and Lee Ha-yul, a healing ability that will become more important later.

Of course, they are powerful enough now, but no amount of talent is enough. Especially when I think about the latter part of the original… I’m still hungry.

By the way,

After all, the bigger the scale is, the bigger the others and the talents.

In the end, villains and heroes all deal with each other. Of course, monsters pop out in the second half, and until then, all the subjects of terrorism are people.

In other words, politics is also needed to some extent in the end.

And because power is essential to political quality, I created the Villain Union.

“…Will it come  soon?”

The world map on the wall

Looking closely at the place, I murmured quietly.

After the fall of Brazil, the society was initially chaotic but eventually regained stability. But I know this stability won’t last long.

The next event may take place soon, according to the original.

The first world-class terrorist attack and the biggest terrorist attack ever on the planet. Villain group Latis’ invasion of the global coast.

And

“……How can we get Korea out of it?”

Just like that, I was working on a plan.

***

Latis’ invasion of the global coast.

It’s an event in which monsters suddenly appear in the sea on three sides of Korea, turning the coastal city into a vast field.

Up to here, it seems to be just one of the usual terrorist attacks in the comic. It’s just the scale of the main event.

However, if this had happened not only in Korea but all over the world at the same time, the story would be a bit different.

Japan, China, India, Russia, Europe, the United States, etc. The simultaneous terrorist attacks in major countries around the world were shocking. Terrorism on a massive scale that has never been experienced before.

And there’s not much time before that happens.

“…So, you’re saying there will be simultaneous terrorist attacks on the beach worldwide soon?”

The Egostream conference room opened after a long time.

There, Seo-eun reacted to my explanation.

“Yeah, the information is almost correct.”

“…How do you know that, Da-in?”

“I heard from a reliable source.”

For your information, the reliable source is my brain.

Seo-eun replied with a nod, even though she said she somewhat disapproved.

“…Well, the information you’ve been looking for so far has never been wrong, so I’m sure it’s right.”

When Seo-eun gratefully convinced herself, Choi Se-hee, listening quietly, suddenly asked me.

“I mean, hey. But how are we going to stop it?”

“…I haven’t said I’m going to stop it yet, though?”

“You’re going to try to stop it anyway.”

“…Well, that’s true.”

Choi Se-hee smirked as if she knew what I had said.

…By the way, I feel like my identity as the head of the Villain Union is being shaken.

Anyway, as I coughed and tried to find my words, Eun-wol, who was sitting with me, said a little loudly as if she was trying to take courage.

“…I like it! We protect the world! What should we do first?”

Eun-wol clenched her fist.

Her eyes were shining brightly, and she seemed to be genuinely motivated. So adorable.

I told Eun-wol kindly.

“We should have a conversation first.”

“….What? With whom?”

“Who else? With that group of villains called Latis.”

“Uh… We’re going to talk to villains?”

“Yes, we’re villains, too. We need to talk it out in peace as villains to villains.”

“…Oh.”

Eun-wol looked a little sad, as she seemed to have expected to fight against some evil villains. 

I’m sorry, Eun-wol. The adult world is about solving everything with words rather than your fist.

…But come to think of it, isn’t Eun-wol an adult?

Anyway, it’s finally time to make use of us as villains, not heroes.

“Well, here’s the plan…”

The key to this issue is that we will solve it only with our mouths.

That’s how I explained to them what we needed to do.

***

Well, that’s how time passed.

In the meantime, Stardus defeated two other villains, and Lee Seol-ah acquired several different companies. People were forgetting all the Brazilian incidents and living peaceful lives.

And me?

I made something similar to a sunbed, so I’m lying on our mountain pension’s roof.

Well, it was so good the last time I enjoyed the scenery while lying on the sunbed on the beach.

So I made something similar to a sunbed on the roof to lay down.

I had a glass of wine in my hand.

Cheval Blanc 1947 is one of the collections Lee Seola gave me last time, saying she was quitting drinking.

Such a rich flavor.

Yes, it’s a perfect gift for me to complete a big job.

Over the past few days, Egostream members and I have been busy. Extremely.

And as a result.

Egostream signed a nonaggression pact with the Atlantic villain group Latis.

The main point of the agreement is that Latis and Egostream do not antagonize each other.

In other words, the agreement naturally includes the content that the country to which the other group belongs should not be involved.

“…Who do you keep texting with?”

Of course, there is a minor problem that this American man, the head of Latis, keeps sending me good English words since I met him last time, but that’s a problem that can be solved by sending me a reply [:) b] like this.

While I was proudly enjoying the reward of protecting South Korea and protecting Stardus, the wind suddenly blew from the side, and a magic circle appeared, Seo-eun was hugging Eun-wol behind her back as they popped out.

“Da-in! I’ve been looking for you for a while. What are you doing here?”

Seo-eun jumped toward me, away from Eun-wol.

I said to Seo-eun, clinking the wine glass.

“I’m lying here alone and spending my adult time…”

“Wow! The view here is really nice. We should put a rocking chair here and sit next to you. Right, Eun-wol?”

“Yes, that would be great.”

Eun-wol laughed.

…No. This is my secret place…

Whether I thought of that or not, Eun-wol asked me curiously.

“So… Da-in, are you sure it’s over now?”

“Yes, Korea will be safe. Oh, that’s right. And Seo-eun, since you’re here, let’s do some work.”

“Eek.”

Seo-eun made an ‘I’m screwed’ expression, but that’s not helping. It’s your fault for coming here.

Let’s update this one thing.

Did we take a picture of me shaking hands with them?

***

Hero’s routine is monotonous.

The main task is to sit in the office and wait if there is no terrorist attack. Especially when it rains like today, she only works indoors.

Meanwhile, Shin Haru was looking into something, clicking her mouse.

[Hemoptysis]

[Hemoptysis’ health]

[A man in his 20s with hemoptysis]

“Separate blood may be caused by a serious disease, even if it’s a small amount. There’s a high possibility that there’s something wrong with your body, so you should have a check at the hospital…?”

As she muttered with a serious look while going through this and that, she quickly sighed, closed the window, and naturally entered the site she frequently visited.

The real-time popular post popped up.

Naturally, Shin Haru clicked on it.

As Shin Haru became interested in quite fascinating news, her office door burst opened all of sudden.

“Stardus!!! We have a problem!!!”

At the expression of the employee’s urgent look, Shin Haru’s face stiffened.

…Just like the comment said, a big one did come.

“Now! The whole world is going crazy!!!”

Too big.
