I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

Seoul.

The big city, with sun shines on the ground, seemed no different than usual.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. A normal city that's always expected to be similar.

Except for several events, it has always been a consistent city, although sometimes terrorist and monsters pop out.

It’s hard to expect it to stay the same in 10 years, but it seems like it's going to be this peaceful until next week.

Therefore, no one expected anything.

No one can believe that the end of their daily life will come so suddenly.

A common ground

A person who looks at the view from the rooftop, among the tall buildings.

He was the first to notice this anomaly.

It was the same scenery as usual.

Tall buildings, then a mountain range that looks blurry against a dark background, and something huge next to it.

Something that anyone who was staring blankly probably would have never known.

However, that keen person would have figured it out quickly.

Oh, fuck.

What's that?

One side of downtown Seoul

Far away, by the side of the mountain range.

Something huge was standing, looking down at the city.

A gray body with a semicircular head on a cylinder; two long steel legs. And long arms that are also made of steel.

Something that looks like a mechanical weapon as a whole, something that cannot be believed to be in front of this city.

People, rubbing their eyes, wondering if they're seeing something wrong.

It began to approach the city center, smashing the ground.

Smash-

Smash-

Each step that it takes while approaching, it makes the ground shaking and Mother Earth crying.

Just like what can be seen in a movie, it was approaching and crushing everything at its feet.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Only then, people noticed the unexpected.

Everyone on its way, stopping everything they were doing and starting to run away.

The peaceful city began to be in chaos in no time.

Boom-

Soon, it came to the center of the city without any restraint.

It stands tall in the middle of buildings with a tremendous sense of pressure.

Where the giant weapon's legs were already laid, the asphalt floor was all smashed.

At the front, countless people were screaming and running away.

The sound of crackling cars, the sound of people screaming.

Everyone in the city came to their senses and was trying to get away from it as soon as possible.

It was just standing in front, doing nothing yet, making the city center paralyzed.

Standing still, looking down at the chaos it created.

Finally, a voice began to be heard.

[You dogs of the government and the association]

A voice resonates throughout the city in a truly loud decibel.

It sounds as if iron is being scratched, as if there's a noise, and that’s why it's even creepier.

The voice was echoing from the giant weapon.

[You petty old humankind who stopped us from developing to the new humanity.]

[You useless and retard parasites who couldn’t accept the evolution and innovation.]

[Your narrow-minded and selfish ways of thinking have destroyed our HanEun, which opened up a new horizon for Korea.]

[Be prepared to be destroyed, you people who have destroyed everything.]

Someone seemed to be catching their breath for a while.

It's much clearer and louder than before

Declared, as if he was informing.

[Today, Seoul including the government and association.]

[I’ll end you guys right here.]

[Everyone in this city.]

[No one will survive]

And it was his last word.

The huge thing  started to move.

BOOM-

At the same time, the thing swung its arms and just smashed the buildings in front of it.

The skyscraper, which seemed to remain in place decades later, was broken in half.

From there, the weapon began to destroy the city recklessly.

A lot of buildings were built during the decades of industrialization.

In its hands, it began to implode immediately.

Booooom.

Like a catastrophe that no one can stop, like a mythical being that destroys every building in front of its eyes, surrounding it.

Within a few minutes, it had already destroyed the city, and finally caught up with the fleeing people.

"O-Oh…"

"P-Please let me live…"

"Ahhhhhhhhhh. Mommyyyyyy.”

"Ah, ah."

Soon, the people were running away.

Under the shadow that covers them, they collapsed without realizing it.

Oh.

No matter how hard you run away.

You can't run away now.

So, this is the end.

In front of such frightened people.

At a point where he can kill hundreds or thousands at once with just one more step.

He said, again, for the last time.

[Good bye.]

[Just blame the incompetent association]

[Go to hell, humans.]

So it ripped the building next to it with its arms like pulling out a radish.

Soon, the outer wall was torn apart and the arm was pointed toward the place where the people gathered.

People finally gave up, they closed their eyes.

Suddenly the giant weapon began to flinch.

"….?"

People had given up and were closing their eyes waiting for their imminent death, but suddenly they felt something strange and opened their eyes again.

It was flinching while still holding its arm up.

Then, suddenly, an unidentified scream began to be heard from the weapon.

[What the! You! Argh, argggghhhh!! The, researcher, e-euk.]

….

The noise

The noise of something breaking, someone screaming and shattering.

And then, the sound of something getting beaten up.

And again, silence.

"….."

The city suddenly became calm again.

When the speakers of the weapons that were ringing all over the place stopped, the city became quiet as if nothing happened.

There, where only intermittent cries of people were heard, the huge weapon stopped in the same posture as before, swinging the building.

Like a statue.

"Ttukbaegi*!" *TN: Korean earthen pot

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"!

I hit the guy in the control room with a wrench.

The man fell out of his wits.

"What the hell is he doing?!!"

"Die!!!"

The researchers nearby came at me.

I shouted at Choi Sehee behind me.

"Sehee-Chu! 1 million volts!"

"Here you go. Yap."

Choi Sehee shot out electricity at them.

HanEun Group's young men shudder and fall down.

And at the end, there was Dr. Kim Sunwoo, who leaned back against the wall at the end of the control room.

"Hello, Dr. Kim Sunwoo. Nice to meet you, I'm Egostic."

I greeted him with a smile.

Kim Sunwoo. He is the final boss of the first phase and the enemy of Seo-eun and Soobin.

This is the first time I saw him in person.

He looked more grumpy, more pathetic than I thought.

"Yes, you! Why would you do this? Aren’t you the villain?"

"Me? I'm a villain. I was resting well at home, and a cool robot suddenly appeared, and if I don't take it away, can I call myself a villain?"

"What do you think you're doing? You idiot, you're blocking the evolution of the new human race!"

"Haha. I don't know what the massacres of Seoul have to do with evolution. And old man."

I laughed, then lowered my voice and opened my mouth.

"Don't be a jerk and shut up, you senile lunatic."

"What? Youuuu bratttttttt!"

"Sehee, shoot."

"Okay."

Sehee in the back fired an electric shot at Kim Sunwoo, who was running with his eyes turned upside down.

After kicking the fallen man on the ground, I kept them in our Ego Basement.

Just like that, the control room is now empty. It's just me and Choi Sehee.

"Muahaha…Hahahahahahahahahahaha.”

And I laughed like a madman without realizing it.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"

"Hey… What's wrong with you?"

Ignoring Choi Sehee who was looking at me with worried eyes, I laughed like crazy for a long time.

I mean, it's kinda funny.

The final boss of a phase, the trigger that makes the Republic of Korea anarchy, kills tens of thousands of people and turns Stardus' life into a waste in earnest, just turned out to be in vain.

It's so easy to handle him.

"Haha…"

I, who slightly wiped away the tears that came out of laughing so hard, looked around.

A clean white wall, covered with dozens of electronic displays. Looking outside from the control room.

In this place overlooking thousands of shivering people, I quietly approached the steering wheel.

Their last masterpiece, made by HanEun Group with everything they've done.

Without restraint, a city can be completely destroyed, and all the shocks endure, which is simply a symbol of high-tech science.

This huge weapon really touches the heart of a man.

"Now, shall we try to control it?"

There's a lot to do. I'm definitely going to drag this to fight Stardus. Let's make Byul dust grow strong.

Before that, shall we reassure the trembling people over there?

"Ah, ha."

I turned on the microphone and opened my mouth.

Let's start the show.

***

As such.

Before attacking the citizens, the huge weapon suddenly stopped. After a while, it moved again.

Then, a voice suddenly comes out.

[Ah, ah]

People were surprised for a moment at the brighter, more cheerful voice than before.

And before they could go mad and figure out what was going on, voices continued to reverberate from the giant weapon.

[Hello, everyone!]

[Greetings, everyone. It's Egostic!]

All right.

All of a sudden, really all of a sudden. A name that no one had expected suddenly came out.

His words continue to come out while people are in turmoil.

[HanEun Group’s members made something really cool. Anyway…]

He continued, with a slight smile on his face.

[That's why I’m taking it.]

[This is mine now.]

That was a really unexpected ment.
