Chapter 63 – Day 63

    Day 63

    Hero Total Association.
    An organization that manages all heroes spread across the world.

    People gathered in the meeting room located in the deepest part of that place were shouting something continuously.

    The reason was only one.

    The newly established villain organization.
    It was because of the video sent by Emperor, one of the worst villains, who is sitting as the head of the organization that calls itself the ‘Villain Association’.

    The video shows Emperor sitting in a wheelchair, having lost both legs after being defeated by the Black Emperor.
    Emperor in the video remained silent for a moment, then finally opened his mouth.

    The content of what Emperor said was shocking in itself.

    The message Emperor conveyed was that they, the Villain Association, would attack Paris, France to make their existence known to the world.

    Of course, the Hero Total Association had already obtained information about the establishment of the Villain Association.
    They just didn’t expect that even the most reckless villain would boldly declare an attack on a country’s capital.

    As a result, France, which Emperor mentioned, became the most urgent matter.

    A first-class villain.
    According to them, a 10-star villain said he would come and attack in person.

    Probably, when the villains’ attack begins, there will be severe casualties and property damage.
    The damage will be so severe that it cannot be recovered in 1-2 years.

    “We must immediately summon heroes of 2nd class and above from all over the world!”
    “However, no matter how much we are the Hero Total Association, we cannot force them.”
    “What’s the use of such nonsense at a time like this! If they really attack Paris, who will be responsible for the aftermath!”

    As if they were at a fish market, numerous people gathered in the conference room were shouting with veins popping on their necks.

    Meanwhile, a middle-aged man who had been quietly observing them lightly struck the desk.

    Boom-.

    As the heavy resonance spread in all directions, silence suddenly fell among the people who had been shouting.

    The silenced people looked at the middle-aged man who had struck the desk.
    They gazed at the Sword Emperor, the ‘Zero’ grade hero who reigned at the pinnacle of heroes worldwide.

    The Sword Emperor, receiving all their attention, slowly opened his mouth.

    “This old man will go.”

    The Sword Emperor himself is going to move.
    The expressions of those around who heard these words were painted with shock.

    Certainly, the Villain Association is threatening.
    Although they may not have gathered all the villains in the world, as far as they know, the Villain Association is teeming with considerable powerhouses.

    By Hero Association standards, they would be 3rd grade or higher.
    By Villain Association standards, they would be 7-star or higher.

    Therefore, they worried about what would happen if the Sword Emperor were to die while trying to stop them himself.

    No matter how strong the Sword Emperor is, the violence of numbers cannot be ignored.
    Especially since Emperor, who sits as the head of the Villain Association, lost both legs to the Sword Emperor and is sharpening his blade of vengeance.

    Even if they attack Paris as planned, if they learn that the Sword Emperor is there, the possibility that they would concentrate all their forces on this one individual could not be ignored.

    Nevertheless, the Sword Emperor…

    “Then, let’s end the meeting here.”

    With an expression that said he would not listen to any more objections, the Sword Emperor disappeared after saying that.

    * * *

    “This is Paris, France.”

    After parting ways with the villains, Cheon Seoa, who appeared alone in the vast sky, muttered as she looked down at her feet.

    France.
    A country known as the land of gastronomy.

    Paris.
    The capital of such France.

    And.

    “Tonight, it will be a city that will disappear into a handful of ashes.”

    Suddenly hearing a voice from behind, Cheon Seoa slightly turned around.
    There stood a middle-aged man who, like Cheon Seoa, was positioned in mid-air as naturally as if standing on the ground.

    “It’s been a while, young lady.”

    “It’s been a while, Digester.”

    Cheon Seoa and Digester greeted each other.

    By the way.

    “Shouldn’t you be in Germany?”

    “That’s true, but I came to watch for a moment since I heard there would be a ‘war’ today.”

    Digester spoke, emphasizing the word ‘war’ in particular.

    Come to think of it.

    ‘Was it that child who started the world war?’

    Cheon Seoa muttered to herself.

    That’s why Digester was called not only the worst villain but also ‘the world’s worst evil person’.

    Especially the story of how he massacred tens of thousands of people through the disaster caused by the Three Eyes Three Disasters technique he received from Cheon Seoa is still passed down as ‘a legend’ even at this moment.

    “By the way, it’s been a truly long time since we’ve had a war.”

    Digester said, looking down at Paris, France, as if he was enjoying it.

    How long had Cheon Seoa been sightseeing Paris from the sky with Digester?

    Before they knew it, the sun had set, and a deep darkness settled over the city.

    “It’s about to begin.”

    Where did he get those from?

    Digester said happily, holding popcorn in one hand and beer in the other.

    When Cheon Seoa stared at him blankly, Digester seemed to realize something and let out a low ‘Ah!’ before offering the popcorn.

    “Would you like some too, miss?”

    “I’m fine, thank you.”

    Digester’s kindness was appreciated, but she really was fine.

    After all.

    “I brought my own snacks.”

    As Cheon Seoa said this and snapped her fingers, the air split open and a huge table popped out from beyond.

    On the table, various teas and hundreds of desserts were densely arranged, looking as if all the desserts from around the world had been gathered in one place.

    Meanwhile, Digester briefly had a blank expression at Cheon Seoa’s display of a different class from his own….

    “May I eat together with you?”

    It was Digester who asked this after briefly looking back and forth between the popcorn in his hand and the dessert that Cheon Seoa had taken out.

    Cheon Seoa nodded without hesitation at Digester’s words, as if to say, “What’s the problem?”

    “Thank you.”

    Digester bowed his head in gratitude for Cheon Seoa’s consideration and began to eat the dessert together.

    How long had they spent savoring the dessert?

    Boom!

    With a thunderous sound, intense explosions occurred throughout the city.

    Flames blazed from the explosions, and black smoke rose.
    Screams could be heard from all around, mixed with the maniacal laughter of rampaging villains and the desperate shouts of heroes trying to stop them.

    Battles broke out everywhere. Massacres were being carried out.
    The villains wielded weapons and used their abilities indiscriminately, whether their targets were heroes or civilians.

    Buildings collapsed, and the screams of civilians trapped under the debris echoed throughout the chaotic city.

    “It’s beautiful.”

    Digester, who had been watching the scene while sitting in the chair Cheon Seoa had brought out along with the table, muttered with an enraptured expression.

    “This despair and fear. Grief and sorrow. Pain. This requiem, where all these harmonies blend together, is always beautiful to hear.”

    What on earth is he babbling about?
    Did he suddenly develop a case of late-onset chuunibyou?

    Cheon Seoa inwardly muttered while looking at Digester.

    Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.

    Rather than that.

    “It seems the hero side is starting to counterattack.”

    Cheon Seoa said.

    The Villain Association had indeed declared war on the Hero Total Association, announcing their intention to attack Paris, France.
    However, Emperor did not disclose ‘when’ they would attack Paris or ‘how’ they would carry out the attack.

    Perhaps because of this.

    When the villains began their assault as soon as night fell, the heroes were unable to respond properly.

    But now, it was different.

    After some time had passed, and moreover, once the heroes learned that the number of villains actually attacking Paris was just over 100, they began to launch an aggressive counteroffensive.

    No, that’s not it.
    That wasn’t the reason.

    The real reason why the tide of the battle… no, the war was turning in favor of the heroes from the villains was.

    “Indeed, a child with quite usable strength.”

    A middle-aged man, the Sword Emperor, who was slaughtering villains while traversing the city with a single sword in hand.

    The greatest force of the Hero Total Association.

    As this Sword Emperor, who had appeared from who knows where, began to rampage, the villains scattered throughout the city gradually began to gather.

    Thanks to this, other heroes could catch their breath, but the Sword Emperor was inevitably exposed to attacks from villains pouring in from all directions.

    However.

    “As expected of the Sword Emperor. A strength that transcends humanity.”

    Slurp-.

    Sipping his tea, Digester spoke with interest.

    Sword Emperor.
    Although he has a name reminiscent of a martial arts hero, Sword Emperor’s origin is American.
    Moreover, information about the ability used by Sword Emperor is unknown.

    He was simply called ‘Sword Emperor’ because he wielded a sword and possessed overwhelming strength.

    Meanwhile, when over thirty villains lost their lives to Sword Emperor’s sword, Emperor stepped in as if he could no longer stand by.

    [Rise.]
    [Conquer.]
    [And reign.]

    Emperor’s solemn voice echoed through the air.
    Simultaneously, centered around Sword Emperor, ‘soldiers’ rose from various parts of the ruined Paris.

    Watching this scene, Digester clicked his tongue as if regretful.

    “That kid’s ability is always tempting to see. If I had that ability, I could raise an army of a million with just a gesture. And…”

    I could make a movie titled ‘I Wage War Against the Whole World Alone’.

    Muttering like that, Digester’s ‘three’ eyes gazed at Emperor.
