I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

360 – The Prophecy of the Advent

The gap of knowledge.

When I know some knowledge, and others don’t. That knowledge can be used as a weapon.

In other words, the information I have, ‘All ability users become stronger with the approach of the sun god,’ can be used as a weapon.

And the direction of that weapon was of course, towards Celeste.

Why? Because she, being a saint obsessed with the sun god, could maximize this information.

So, while this information itself is a weapon to others, I can also use where I got this information as a selling point.

Yes. It’s part of my plan, ‘Pretending to be a faithful apostle of the sun god’.

Ah! The sun god told me this. Didn’t he tell you?

So, I came to this cathedral again to meet Celeste.

The pure white cathedral filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

A regular meeting of the villains at the pinnacle of each nation.

This cathedral, which carries such a great significance, had now become familiar to everyone.

Because it was always the same villains and the same place. A place for occasional visits to foster camaraderie and gain new information.

“Egoistic!”

“Yes, hello.”

And I, too, smiled and approached my friends I had met through this cathedral.

Katana, the leader of Japan. Li Xiaofeng, the leader of China.

Members of our East Asian Villain Union.

And then.

“Ha ha ha! Egoistic, it’s been a long time!”

Atlas also came out to the cathedral after a very long time.

With his grown beard, he was laughing cheerfully as usual.

Somehow, he seemed to have a few more scars than usual.

I approached him with a smile and greeted him.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Atlas. Have you been well?”

“Yes, indeed! It wasn’t easy to slay all those black monster fish heads, but I did it.”

He said that, laughing heartily, with his shoulders propped on the back of a chair.

Atlas, who had not been able to come to the cathedral a few times due to fighting off the monsters called Cthulhu that invaded from the sea. He told me that he regretted not being able to carry out his sea expansion project because of having to slay the monsters.

Then, he sighed and said to me.

“And… sigh. Ariel keeps nagging me to see you again. It’s hard. I’m tired…”

At his words, all I could do was smile awkwardly.

In the meantime, while we were venting our long-held frustration.

Click, click.

A woman entered the round table.

A woman with long silver hair in a white nun’s outfit. Celest was coming this way.

“…..”

As always, she entered with a chic air about her, her eyes closed.

Was it the first time since we met alone in the Sun God’s temple last time? It was kind of cute when she was completely drained and trembling.

While I was thinking that.

“Hmm…”

“….”

The surrounding villains started to glance back and forth between me and her as Celest entered.

I guess they were waiting for the dispute to start, as she recently started picking fights with me whenever she came.

But what they were expecting didn’t happen.

“Let’s start the meeting.”

She said in her usual clear voice, just like any other day.

The difference in her usual demeanor was that she did not look at me at all.

What?

“……”

Anyway, the meeting proceeded peacefully.

Celeste who doesn’t argue with me at all… No. It seemed like she was intentionally ignoring me.

…Hmm. It wouldn’t be because she’s embarrassed about what happened last time, would it?

It wasn’t that we parted badly last time, but seeing her gritting her teeth and not looking at me, it could be possible…

Anyway, the meeting ended peacefully like that.

…Thinking about what happens to the cathedral after 4 phases, this might have been the last peaceful meeting.

Meanwhile, seeing Celeste turning her head and not making eye contact even when I speak, she seems not to want to talk with me today.

But I can’t let it go like this.

“Thank you all for your hard work. Let’s end the meeting here.”

That’s how Celeste ended the meeting.

“Egoistic. Aren’t you leaving?”

“No. I have something to discuss with Celeste.”

“…Is that so? hahahaha, I don’t know what it is, but do well!”

After saying goodbye to them, I waited for Celeste as usual.

After everyone left.

Only Celeste and I were left.

Sitting quietly with her eyes closed, Celeste…

Only after everyone left, she opened her mouth coldly.

“…What is it?”

For some reason, she’s being cold to me.

…Of course, she’s not threatening, as she waited for me. If she really didn’t want to talk to me, she would have left first.

“No, it’s not that. I have something to tell you about the Sun God.”

“What is it.”

To her, still turning her head to me and responding coldly.

I opened my mouth with a grin.

“Has the God given you any words lately?”

“…No, why?”

“It’s not that. God spoke to me again in the day.”

“…….”

So calmly, so honestly, I spoke.

She, who had been turning her head away, slowly turned her face back towards me.

Quietly, slightly opening her golden eyes, she looked at me and opened her mouth.

“…Speak.”

Can’t she stand it?

Watching Celeste, who was showing interest in me, I grinned.

Alright. Let’s open up a bit.

***

Since the last time, since the exploration of the Temple of the Sun with Egoistic.

Celeste had been trembling with embarrassment.

“Uh…”

‘Ahh…!’

‘…Who said I was nervous? It’s just in case. Ridiculous.’

“Uh…”

Celeste. Who is she?

Known as the strongest villain in the world, always in a position of power since her awakening… She was never under anyone.

And such was she.

Tied to Egoistic, much weaker than herself, the memory of depending on him with a scared sound…

It was a memory so embarrassing she wanted to erase it from her mind.

‘Well… at least there was some gain.’

Of course, she had gone through such an embarrassing event, but there were gains.

Finding and obtaining the holy artifact of the Sun God in the temple.

And… regardless of the embarrassment.

‘…Egoistic, huh.’

It was also the time when her perception of the character named Egoistic changed.

The Temple of the Sun God. Not only did he know the location of the temple that she didn’t even know…

‘He had no intention of harming me.’

He even protected her, who could die from a single shot due to her weakened state, until the end with a smile.

…His demeanor caused quite a stir in Celeste’s heart, who thought that anyone would rush to pull her down if she let her guard down at the top.

To the point where she thought Egoistic might really be an ally.

“…..”

She was in her prayer room, idly playing with her silver hair, not praying but lost in egotistic thoughts…

He had always claimed to be a follower of the Sun God, but the reason she had not believed him was simple.

First, he arbitrarily eliminated the relatives of the Sun God. Second, he was a person who had received the power of the Star God.

The third reason was his constant cunning smile, which made it seem like he was always scheming something… But that seemed too far-fetched, so she decided to disregard it.

Anyway, she did not believe his egotism and defined him as an enemy…

‘Could it really be..?’

After the actions he showed, her thoughts gradually began to change.

The biggest reason she had not believed him until now was that he was a person endowed with the power of the Star God.

The three forgotten gods: the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars. Unlike the followers of the Moon God, who were quite spread out in the shadow, information about the Star God was extremely limited. There were also very few individuals with her power.

Among those who possessed the power of the stars, the strongest was Ex Machina. Besides that, she didn’t know much. A few individuals in Europe and a character named Stardust in Asia.

So naturally, when a person with the power of the Star God claimed to be an apostle of the Sun God, it was hard to believe.

She thought he was a spy sent by the Star God.

But…

‘Really, was he chosen by the Sun God?’

She started to think differently.

Perhaps because he had the power of the Star God, the Sun chose him. The enemy turned ally could be the most fearsome. If he is converted, he could be a great power.

Especially her thinking became more firm when she saw the color of Egoistic’s hair.

Though she had very limited information related to the power of the stars, she knew more than ordinary people.

‘Certainly, according to the information left in the books…’

“The character who has received the power of the Star God is said to have brilliantly shining golden hair.

However, Egoistic’s hair is black. Yet, he possesses the power of the stars…

‘…Has it been corrupted?’

Yes. Perhaps the Star’s power has been corrupted since he believes in the Sun God.

It was quite a plausible assumption.

Enough to convince herself.

‘To be honest…’

Forcing him to be the spy of the stars, who accepted the angel of the Sun God and knew the location of the Sun God’s temple that he didn’t even know… To her, it seemed a bit forced.

Especially considering that he wouldn’t even touch her, it was certain that he was an ally…

“Uh…”

…I don’t know why God is silent to me and speaks to him.

Could Egoistic really be… an apostle chosen by the Sun?

She quietly had such thoughts.

…A grand delusion, just as Egoistic intended.

As she continued to think…

“…Wait a minute.”

…She found herself again imagining a future where Egoistic unknowingly kisses her.

The thought that it could actually happen kept her awake for several nights…

When she saw Egoistic at the cathedral afterwards, she gritted her teeth and avoided his gaze. She felt anxious that her face would blush if their eyes met…

Of course, ignoring that, Egoistic waited for her as if he had something to say.

Finally, when she had no choice but to face him and converse, she…

…Heard shocking news from Egoistic.

“…What did you say?”

Exactly. The day would come when the powers of all those who received the abilities of the Sun God would be multiplied.

And he, who said such a thing,

“You heard right.”

Said so and was smiling.
