Chapter Index

    When I left the lab and asked Seo Na-young to do a show, I was planning on executing Kang Da-kyung and other villains in a public place.

    This was because, in many ways, it was better to use it to enhance my reputation than to suffer quietly and just deal with it in a place where no one knew. Should I say that this is an economical way to recycle villains?

    If you’re going to do something good, it’s more rewarding if people in the world know about it. There’s a saying that says don’t let your right hand know what your left hand is doing, but I’m not the type of person who gets mental satisfaction from that.

    But before that, there was something I had to do first. It was to deal with the annoying Apostle with superpowers.

    If you make up your mind to scatter the self-immolations and hide them, you may eventually be able to find them, but there is a high possibility that the process will be very cumbersome.

    So, it would have been better to deal with it in advance before it went into hiding somewhere after the organization disappeared.

    ‘And I said I would kill you the next time I saw you. If a man makes a promise, he must keep it.’

    Even if the other person doesn’t want me to keep that promise.

    – Coincidentally, all of the Apostle’s clones are gathered in one place. It looks like they noticed something wrong with the lab and are guarding the door.

    According to Maria, now was the perfect opportunity to deal with this guy. Apostle’s supernatural power is that when all clones are disposed of, the last clone transforms into the main body.

    So, following the tracker that was still attached to Apostle’s clones, we came to the half-collapsed factory.

    After using the newly learned method of using [Yggdrasil’s Dew], I could not feel any of the air resistance that I usually felt when running at high speeds.

    Thanks to this, I was able to run at lightning speed. Even though he carried Seo Na-young on his back, he arrived at the Apostle’s location in an instant.

    First, I made Seo Na-young wait outside and quietly, holding my breath, infiltrated the factory.

    ‘Look at the atmosphere. No matter what you do here, you will never be caught.’

    I didn’t realize it when I walked through the door, but it was a factory that had the atmosphere of a killer’s villa. I thought I had somehow found a place like this.

    Seeing the villains crouching in a dark factory, watching through the door, made me feel playful.

    For the first time in a while, I took out the Awakens wearing battle suits from my inventory, put them on standby, and quietly ordered Maria to subdue the villains I had captured.

    Because the factory was so windy that it was almost like being outside, the villains were able to be brought in without making a single sound.

    The guys who were only concentrating on the door let out a short groan before being taken over by Awaken and losing consciousness.

    The reason the villains were not killed was to turn them into artifacts if there were any people with useful superpowers.

    Since starlight is used to create artifacts, you cannot have the luxury of making just any superpower or artifact, but once the villain organization is destroyed, it will be difficult to obtain so many villains at once.

    To put it simply, it’s a villain eradication period.

    It wasn’t until they lost half of their comrades, excluding Apostle’s clone, that they began to be wary of me in earnest.

    Shadows of fear appeared on their faces, illuminated by the light of the camping lantern.

    The small fish were unable to do anything and were trembling until they were all captured. At the end, an Apostle’s clone came along, and Awaken rushed in and subdued them all. I entered Alvaroi’s fighting skills, and he clearly showed that he was good at fighting.

    Since only the area where they were was lit with lanterns and our direction was still immersed in darkness, it probably felt like a shadow monster was eating people from their perspective.

    Even if I were in the villain’s shoes, I would have been slightly better than them, but it would have been quite annoying.

    Unless you can see infrared light, if the absolute amount of light is insufficient, it is difficult to completely see through the darkness even if you have sharp senses.

    ‘I guess I shouldn’t register it as baggage, even if it’s just for the sake of feeling good.’

    -I think I can solve that. What the master wants is a way to see into the darkness without inner energy or energy, right?

    ‘You can solve that?’

    -You can do this by modifying the suit you are wearing. Right now, it only has the ability to be sturdy and accept the owner’s supernatural powers, but it doesn’t seem difficult to add a few more functions using artifacts.

    ‘oh… ‘

    What Maria meant was that she would incorporate a few artifacts into my suit. It seemed that after analyzing the data obtained from the research institute, they concluded that such a thing was possible.

    -There are durability issues and just in case, I need to add some features and show it to the Lee sisters.

    As expected, the artificial intelligence that contained the essence of the science fiction world was amazing.

    So far, Maria has mainly been assisting in combat using visual effects, but this will allow her to do much more, assuming she is wearing a suit.

    Maybe I can implement functions that were difficult to add in my body. The suit could become a kind of external hardware.

    ‘Shall we find a villain with the superpower of clairvoyance? What happens if you add superpowers like longer fingernails to your suit? Since the suit can already be reduced to a pendant to store it, there doesn’t seem to be a need to look for a separate artifact… ‘

    The more different artifacts you obtain, the more options you have for your suit.

    I felt like I had received an unexpected gift.

    I looked down at the remaining Apostle clones with excitement. I couldn’t wait to get rid of them and go back to Korea to upgrade my suit.

    When I answered the voice calling me using a warm telepathy artifact freshly made in the lab, I saw the Apostles forming a circle in surprise.

    It just so happened that the middle was left empty for me to land on.

    Riding the wind blowing around the factory, he jumped up to the ceiling and fell into the middle of the clones.

    A perfect landing without even making a sound.

    I took out the combat robot’s baton from my inventory and swung it. It was an item obtained from New Kind, but since the combat robots that originally used it were relatively large, it was a bit of an exaggeration: it was a baton the size of a telephone pole.

    Huh~

    Kwa-ga-ga-ga-gak!!!

    “Ignis… !”

    The Apostle’s clones, who were standing in a circle, were hit by the baton and bounced in all directions. All of them had been hit on the back or the back of the head and were broken somewhere.

    Grumble!

    It unleashed its supernatural power on the fallen clone and melted it so that it could not regenerate. In an instant, the number of Apostle clones was reduced by half.

    The total number of remaining clones is six.

    It wasn’t too difficult to deal with him in the past, so it wasn’t strange. Even my Starlight-enhanced clone couldn’t withstand my stronger flames.

    “I didn’t know they would all be gathered in one place for easy processing like this… You were embarrassed when you saw the location tracker. I wonder if it might be a trap.”

    “Location tracker… ? When did you put that on?”

    Kwasik!

    “Qu… !”

    The Awaken five came out late from the darkness and crushed the Apostle’s clones, one by one, who had fallen to the floor and muttered absently.

    I also gently stepped on the sixth and final clone’s head to prevent it from raising its head.

    The Apostle had not even been able to properly check my face yet. In such a situation, how unfair it must be that his subordinates have already been wiped out and half of his clones have been wiped out.

    I smiled as I looked down at the material, which had quite an expected effect when born into an artifact.

    “Did Kang Da-kyung tell you to wait here? Mobilize all your clones to guard the door? It seems you still don’t know how strong the enemy you are up against is. It would have been better if we were all gathered together so we could at least wiggle.”

    “Insolent guy… This guy is no match for you if you hit him from the front… !”

    “What kind of fair and just party is the villain? So, are you just sitting there with your face on the floor and eating dirt?”

    As I said that, I motioned for the Awakens to dispose of the clones they were each holding.

    The air was so full of dust that it felt harsh, and I felt like if I stayed here for a long time, I would develop an illness that I never knew existed.

    It was good to secretly take out the villains one by one because there was a lot of scrap piled up, but you had to inhale a lot of dust.

    When all of the Apostle’s clones were destroyed, the last remaining clone at my feet began to slowly change.

    Not a hard and cold mannequin, but the extremely fragile body of an ordinary human woman.

    Surprisingly, the Apostle was an ordinary-looking woman with no special features.

    ‘is not it? ‘Is it because my eyes have become too high?’

    While I was tilting my head, she stopped resisting and muttered, as if she had acknowledged her defeat.

    “You said you would join hands with us, but what on earth are you doing? ?”

    “When did I hold your hand? I don’t remember shaking hands with Kang Da-kyung.”

    “Pun on words… ”

    “It’s not a pun, it’s real. And where is the idiot who stays loyal to the contract he made with the villain?”

    Such romantic stories can only be found in noir films.

    Apostle finally gave up on my relaxed attitude that left no room for negotiation and warned me in a voice full of venom.

    “Damn… If you come out like this, the boss will cause the next terrorist attack.”

    “The next terrorist attack… ”

    Now that I think about it, there were villains who made similar noises in the hangar connected to the door.

    They burned everything by telling me to become their stallion.

    ‘It seems like there really is something there.’

    The Apostle shouted in a powerful voice, probably because he thought he had been dealt a blow. It wasn’t very threatening as it was face down on the floor.

    “Yes! This is a terrorist attack targeting high-ranking government officials to prevent the Japanese government from functioning properly! You brought it forward!”

    “You want to turn a country over? You guys?”

    It was quite a grand plan for a subject that had already robbed me of more than half of the organization.

    “Okay… If you are just a monster outside the standard, but with the power of the boss and other executives, it is not that difficult.”

    “What is the benefit?”

    “… … .”

    Although he was an Apostle who talked about the organization’s plans for spiritual victory, he did not even try to talk about the organization’s purpose. I had no intention of torturing her here.

    Because I had artificial intelligence that could make more accurate analysis than any other expert with only the given information.

    -Probably to infiltrate the organization’s puppets into the government in a chaotic situation. Then, they will be able to give orders back to the Self-Defense Forces and Japanese government heroes who have been chasing them.

    ‘I think I heard about this plan somewhere.’

    -It’s similar to Kang Hye-won trying to become president in Korea.

    ‘Oh, that’s right.’

    Trying to take over the government was similar to what was done in Korea. Of course, in Korea, the plan was carried out quietly, but in Japan, the plan was very active and radical.

    If I hadn’t reported Kang Hye-won’s modified work to the media and stopped it, this might have happened in Korea first.

    ‘Shouldn’t I at least get a medal for this?’

    “No matter how strong you are, there is a limit to what you can do alone. Even if I were to attach a location tracker during battle, I wouldn’t be able to know the locations of other executives and bosses. By the time you hear the news and arrive at the scene, everything will already be over. Hehehe… ”

    Apostle, who did not know that he had infected the location tracker to all executives, including the boss, laughed softly.

    Since there is nothing worse to look at than a mental victory, I hit her with a moderate amount of honey and knocked her out.

    And he gave instructions to Maria.

    ‘Maria. Was it Shiranui? Submit an anonymous tip to that Japanese hero. So that you can know the real-time location of Kang Da-kyung and the executives.’

    -yes.

    It seemed like the scale of the show would be bigger than I thought.​
