I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

346 – Quarrel

Cathedral.

The coalition of the most powerful S-class villains in the world, and the venue for the conference hosted by the world’s number one villain, Celeste.

This supranational villain alliance has lasted for quite a long time.

Considering that all of these individuals, each with their own unique personality and equally evil, are gathered in one place.

Of course, all of this is because those gathered here have at least some common sense.

They are not just simple S-class villains, but those who have built enormous forces to oppose nations.

Since each of them has numerous other S-class villains under their command, it’s only natural that they need leadership to control them. So, they can communicate.

Thus, the strongest S-class villains who operate at the national level are gathered here, and this unprecedented villain alliance, Cathedral, is led by the world’s number one ranked villain.

…However, in reality,

The Cathedral, despite its name, hasn’t really done much so far.

They haven’t carried out any terror attacks together, they just gather, chat, and disperse.

The sole reason for this is because Celeste, the leader of this conference, has defined the Cathedral as an information-sharing ‘conference.’

Therefore, so far, the Cathedral has remained hidden in the shadows without making any moves or engaging in any significant activities.

This was also the reason why the Cathedral was not mentioned in the original work until the 4th part.”

“But as the final chapter begins, the situation changes.

Under Celeste’s leadership, the Cathedral begins to operate not just as a simple gathering, but as a group of villains on the frontlines.

Thus, the S-class Villain Alliance Cathedral becomes one of the final bosses in the original work…

‘…So, from now on, the Cathedral is the key.’

Fortunately, I was a member of that Cathedral.

In other words, I have many opportunities to interact with Celeste.

…Although I was marked by Celeste due to the assassination of ‘the one who fulfills wishes’ and the angel’s abduction. But it was rather good. It’s more helpful for advancing our relationship if she’s interested in me rather than being indifferent.

I wonder what kind of reaction Celeste will show today.

With such thoughts, I headed toward the conference hall.

A dark corridor that automatically teleports you when you tear the letter.

When you walk through it and open the door at the end, a white cathedral appears.

The sacred-looking light from the surrounding stained glass windows and the large round table in the center made it look truly divine.

“Egoistic! Over here.”

“You’ve arrived, Egoistic.”

I immediately went to where those who called me were gathered.

Japan’s villain, Katana. China’s villain, Li Xiaopeng.

These villains, including our East Asian Villain Alliance and the absent Atlas, could be considered my faction within the Cathedral.

Feeling the other villains glancing at me, I sat between Li Xiaopeng and Katana.

In fact, many villains must be very curious about me. I know all sorts of knowledge, receive the full devotion of the powerful Atlas, and even appeared with an angel this time. Moreover, I’m the only person that the always cold and indifferent Celeste shows interest in here.

Of course, I haven’t interacted much with others so far… but with the increasing importance of the Cathedral, it might be necessary to start communicating.

By the way, Atlas didn’t make it today either. He said that he will finish off most of the Cthulhu creatures by summoning Ariel, so he’ll probably come next time.

As I was thinking about this.

Click, click.”

Celeste revealed herself from within.

“…..”

With her eyes closed, she walked towards us, her long silver hair trailing behind her, dressed in a white holy robe.

Her dazzlingly beautiful face and elegant stride made her seem like a saint descended from heaven. However, those present knew that she possessed the power to change the world with a mere flick of her finger.

“Everyone has gathered.”

Seated at the full round table, she spoke with a sacred voice that echoed throughout the cathedral.

Then, she turned to look at me.

…As she looked my way, her cold voice from earlier seemed to have vanished, replaced with a frosty tone as she spoke to me.

“…But it seems there is one person here who isn’t a villain. This is supposed to be a meeting for villains only. Didn’t this person retire from being a villain?”

With that, she opened the meeting by directing her words at me.

Everyone’s gaze turned to me.

Watching her speak with a slight smile, I responded with a grin of my own.

“Ha ha. Of course, that was just a bluff to put our opponents at ease. Isn’t it our villains’ style to say such things and then strike the heroes from behind? It seems my acting was so convincing that even you, Celeste, were fooled.”

I shrugged nonchalantly, as if it were obvious.

And with that, I snapped my fingers.

Whooooooooosh!

A radiant, sacred light poured out from behind me.

At the same time, our angel, Halo, spread her large wings and appeared behind me.

She wrapped her arm around my neck.

In a semi-embrace with the angel behind me, I looked straight at Celeste and spoke with a wicked grin.

“And, since God has given me such a wonderful gift.”

“Of course, I must use it for terror at least once, right? Ha ha.”

With those words, I snapped my fingers again.

Halo disappeared just as quickly as she had appeared.

“….Sigh.”

“Hmm…”

At my angelic display, the round table became momentarily noisy.

“Excluding Celeste, this is the first time I’ve shown my halo to anyone, so the atmosphere is one of confusion as if they’ve seen an angel for the first time.

Perhaps they’re taken aback by the holiness they feel on their skin.

And then there’s Celeste.

“…..”

Her expression seems peaceful with her eyes closed, but I could feel her annoyance inside. Why? Because I could sense her murderous intent.

Of course, she didn’t show it, so she was like a top-class villain. Real villains are like that.

“…Understood. Then, let’s start the meeting.”

With that, she turned to me and led the meeting with her teeth clenched.

I quietly sank into my thoughts as I received the gazes from those around me.

In fact, from the appearance of the halo earlier, all my lines had been calculated in advance. I had prepared for every possible response if Celeste were to pick a fight with me.

I had also instructed the halo to display that posture and demeanor beforehand. Otherwise, with the halo learning to cook with Subin these days, we might have had an angel wearing an apron appear in the cathedral…

The biggest reason why she couldn’t touch me, who can move mountains with a gesture and split the earth, is the angel I’ve gained. If I were truly chosen by the sun god as I claim, harming me could potentially incur the wrath of the sun god. As a devout follower of the sun god, she wouldn’t dare touch me as long as there’s a possibility.

Anyway, the meeting proceeded like that.

…During that time, I pondered how I could outwit Celeste.

As I had such thoughts, time flew by, and the meeting ended before I knew it.

“Egoistic, we’ll go ahead.”

“Yes. Take care.”

As I saw off our Egoistic team members,

I was left standing alone at the round table.

“……”

Celeste didn’t say anything about leaving, but I stayed behind on my own.

After everyone else had left, glancing back at us,

Finally alone, Celeste revealed her true colors, furrowing her brow at me and said,

From noble mtl dot com

“What? Why are you still here? I have nothing more to say to you, so please leave quickly.”

“Speaking to me with such intensity, she said.

I smirked at her and approached Celeste.

“Haha. Now, don’t be like that.”

“…Wait!”

At that moment, she suddenly became flustered, which was unlike her, and reached out to stop me.

Ting.

Then, I was blocked by an invisible wall.

…What is this?

“…Why are you doing this?”

“Don’t come any closer. Speak from there.”

“No…”

I replied, dumbfounded.

“…What am I going to do to you by getting closer? You could make me disappear with just a wave of your hand.”

“That’s enough. Stay still if I tell you to stay still…”

With a flushed face, she glared at me and mumbled with her golden eyes fixed on me.

…What’s her problem?

“…Just try to kiss me. You animal…”

I couldn’t hear her low mumbling, as she has seen the future.

“Fine, I got it. Anyway, let me tell you. I found another place where the legacy of the sun god is.”

“…Where is it?”

As soon as I said that, her mood changed to seriousness.

As expected, her eyes changed when she heard the story of the shining priest of the sun god.

Of course, I didn’t let her expression affect me and answered with a smile.

“It’s not easy to explain in detail. You need a specific trigger to access it. Well, even Celeste, the saintess of the sun god, didn’t know about this place.”

“…Do you want to die?”

“That’s why! I will guide you. Of course, the trigger won’t work if there’s someone else who’s not a ‘priest of the sun god’, so it’s just the two of us.”

“…..”

After hearing what I said, she hesitated, still glaring at me.

Eventually, she closed her eyes tightly and replied.

“…Fine. When are we going?”

Oh, yes.

I got her to agree.
