I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

After the Sun God's declaration of destruction, I immediately succeeded in convincing the shocked Celeste and Cathedral to join the fight against the god.

I told Celeste that the reason she believed in the Sun God was because she thought he would save the world, and now that the opposite had happened, she had no reason to follow him…I succeeded in convincing her that she had no one to turn to but me.

As for the other villains in Cathedral…

‘As expected, this works best.’

I succeeded in convincing them by using the villains' natural belligerence.

If I had said, "Let us all join forces and fight the gods to save this world!" would they have complied?

No. The villains would have thought of offensive words, not defensive ones like world peace.

We've done the hard work of world domination, and now some crazy god wants to destroy all the other lands we've taken!

Are we going to let this happen? Let's work together and kill that crazy god!

These words worked well for the villains.

My declaration, "Let's kill that arrogant god at all costs!" was met with quite the enthusiastic response from the villains.

After that, I even managed to get them to agree to let me take full control of the fight.

With the villain side taken care of so quickly there was only one thing left to do.

‘First…I need to calm the people.’

That is, to stop the chaos that is about to happen.

In the original game, the world's rapid destruction was not only due to Celeste's destructive actions, but also due to the extreme anxiety and confusion of the people, who feared that they were about to die, leading to anarchy.

The key to preventing this is to reassure people that we will all survive.

I have to give them hope that we will all survive, and to keep society from collapsing.

People are still in a state of shock, and they're panicking. When reality sets in, it's going to be a mess.

So before that happens, I need to calm the world down and to do that, I've come up with a plan.

Announcing an alliance between the World Association of Heroes and the League of Villains.

Shock the people and give them hope by showing them something they thought could never happen: heroes and villains united against a common enemy.

Rest assured, people. We have a plan. The planet is safe, blah blah blah.

Anyway, if the people see that the higher-ups aren't panicking and are reacting calmly, they're more likely to stay calm.

After the meeting, I was on my way to Celeste's room.

I knocked on the door.

"…Come in."

That's what I heard when I arrived at Celeste's office and knocked on the door.

With that, I quietly opened the door and entered.

Inside, a tired-looking Celeste was sitting in a chair, facing me.

…but at least she's calmed down a bit.

"Celeste, have you been resting?"

"Yes… So, Egostic, did you manage to convince the Cathedral members?"

She asks in response to my words.

Hearing that, I couldn't help but wince a little.

How could she know? Did she hear everything?

No, more than that. I'd just screamed right there that I was going to kill Sun God but Celeste didn't seem to care, which is why I felt comfortable enough to answer.

"Yeah. I've convinced them all to follow our orders."

"…Thank you, Egostic. You're the only one."

With the faintest of smiles, Celeste said.

Then, casually, she asked me.

"And, have you figured out what you're going to do next?"

"Yeah. Oh, and by the way…"

Celeste finally asks me what's next.

Seeing this as an opportunity, I blurted out my next move, a temporary alliance between the Hero's Association and Cathedral to stop Sun God from destroying the world.

"…An alliance."

"Yes. It's not much, just hold the Association's president's hand in front of the camera and shake it a few times. That's all, and I'll take care of the rest…"

I said, and glanced over at Celeste.

Although the other villains had readily agreed to my proposal to join forces with the heroes, I had no idea how Celeste would react.

"Alright, then."

Celeste said, without much hesitation.

I was surprised that I spoke first.

"…Uh, is that okay?"

I was so surprised that I asked back and she replied with a calm, slightly forced smile.

"Yeah, well…Egotistic. I've been thinking about what you said."

"What do you mean…?"

"That the Sun God used me as a shorthand."

With those words, the air seemed to instantly drop in temperature. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Celeste smiled coldly and muttered softly.

"If the god thinks so little of me, if he betrays me so easily…I'll have to show him that I don't stand idly by while being played for a fool."

Somehow, in a 180-degree change from the original, my words made it look like she was being blackened by the Sun God.

I felt a little scared, but also relieved.

…Yeah. Still, it's better than standing there in shock like she did earlier.

Thinking that I gave her a wry smile and said.

"That's a good attitude, you can't just live with it."

"Yeah. Though I don't like the idea of working with the Association."

I froze in my tracks at Celeste's words.

"…Egostic, you're the one who said it, so I'll go along with it."

Celeste stood up, smiled at me, and added the words.

"Haha…Thank you."

I was about to get in trouble.

Anyway, I got Celeste's agreement to work with the Hero Association.

"I'll be in touch, and I'll come back for you, so be ready.”

With those words, I slipped out of Celeste's office.

I walked down the hallway and turned on my cell phone.

‘…Now that I've convinced Celeste, it's time.’

I only need to convince the Association's president.

In fact, I've already met with her, before the Sun God's declaration of destruction, and told her that this will happen soon, and that she'd better accept our offer of cooperation when it does.

She didn't seem to believe me when I told her, but I wonder how she feels now.

Now that I think about it, I'm turning on my phone for the first time.

With that thought in mind, I turned on my phone and there it was.

*

[Missed call]

[President of the Hero Association (17)]

*

"…"

In that short time, I could only see that she had already tried to contact me many times.

Hmm. Well, she must have been in a bit of a hurry.

I dialed her number,

[Damn! You’re finally picking up.]

Before I could even hear the dial tone, she picked up the phone, only to hear the voice of the President, who was immediately furious with me.

…Um. I made the call, not received it.

Meanwhile the president, who seemed to have calmed down, apologized with a short sigh and said to me,

[Phew… I'm sorry, I was in a hurry. Is your earlier offer still valid?]

"Haha, I understand, and yes, it is valid. If you mean the alliance between the Association and Cathedral…"

…By the way, she was in a bit of a hurry, wasn’t she?

At my addition, the Association's president sighed deeply and said to me in a harsh tone.

[Don't tell me. They're asking me all over the place what I'm going to do now…What can I do? Did I really think it would come to this, with God against us?]

She sighed heavily again as she said that and then continued cautiously.

[By the way…can we decide on the details later, and just make an alliance first?]

"Yes. We can, and…I understand. You want to announce it quickly to calm people down, right?"

[…Yeah, right, it's good that you understand, no, was that why you suggested it in the first place…]

"Okay. I'll be right there, just wait."

I said with a chuckle and hung up the phone.

Okay, the plan is perfect, so let's get started.

Ever since God's declaration of destruction was heard the world has descended into unrest and chaos.

The governments that were supposed to offer solutions to the situation were silent, the media was in a panic and the people were frightened.

People's anxiety was growing and the social system was being shaken to its foundations.

…Yes, that was the time.

[Shock! The International Association of Heroes X Villains Alliance Cathedral has announced an alliance against the ‘self-proclaimed' god!!!]
