I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

Chapter 415:

~The fateful day~

Half a year after the prophecy of doom was fulfilled, the day the gods were supposed to descend had finally arrived.

"All right, everyone, to your positions!"

Ops Center, United States, the top of the control tower, standing tall near the area where the Sun God was supposed to descend.

With glass on all sides, the people assembled here sat nervously in their seats, watching the monitors and at the front of the room, leading them all was a man in a black hat and a white mask, Egostic.

He stood in front of the window, giving orders with a calm expression and beyond the window, at the edge of his gaze…a woman was standing alone on a plain of golden grass.

The arch-enemy of the Sun God, the hope of mankind, the hero, Stardus.

[Stardus, it's about time. Are you all right?]

"Uh. Thank you."

A chilly breeze was felt on her arm through her suit.

As she silently caressed her arms, around her six massive laser cannons stood steadfast, each aimed at a single location and floating above them, drones with countless cameras.

Specialized for combat, these drones were made of the hardest material in the world to withstand the aftermath of battle so that everyone could see the fight and cheer them on.

…with hundreds of spares flying alongside, in case of counterattack.

Just like that, just before the fight.

"Whoa…"

Stardus breathed in, quietly.

On the silent plain, with only her blonde hair blowing quietly in the wind, Stardus was calm, cool and collected, preparing for the battle ahead.

Her first battle against a god and in that state, for what seemed like an eternity, finally the time had come.

"…57 seconds, 58 seconds, 59 seconds, 12 o'clock!!! Now!!!"

Finally, with that echo from the control tower the sun was at its highest point, 12 o'clock.

Finally, with a roar, the sky above the plains opened.

Pachijik zizik zizik pachijik-

A distorted black galaxy appeared in the blue sky, as if the world had gone awry and the sky had broken.

The world warped, as if another dimension had opened.

At its center was a white light, like a giant pillar of light that fell straight down from the black galaxy onto the plain.

"Now! Launch!!!"

With that sound echoing from the center of the control tower.

Yiyiying.

All the Divine Killing Moonlight Cannons began to move towards the center and the attack was immediate.

-Pow!

-Pow. Pow. Fubar-ar-ar-ar-ar-ar.

It sounded like the world was exploding.

A thick beam of yellow light shot toward where something white had fallen.

In the aftermath of the accompanying roar, the flash of the sky turned black and white, and the gust of wind that followed.

"…."

Stardus stood on the plain, facing the gusts of the attack that had come before, but did not take her eyes off the scene.

[……]

An attack of immense power, surely, that would have blown any being away but everyone felt it, instinctively, that the creature before them would never end up like this.

At the center of the bombardment, the thick white smoke cleared.

"Kulk, kulk."

Finally,

Through the smoke, a figure emerged.

"Hah… That's quite a welcome."

It was an attack that must have taken all of their strength, and yet he hadn't been hurt at all.

At last, the man who was supposed to be the Sun God had appeared and as he did, Stardus watched with a stony face.

He had short silver hair that glowed white, was a man of androgynous appearance, sculpted and handsome, like a cartoon character.

Dressed in an ancient garment of white cloth, but styled in such a way that it could pass for modern clothing.

He immediately said,

"Hello, you must be the one sent by the God of the Stars."

One of the three gods of the universe, the creator of this world.

God of the sun, father of all the mighty.

Helios, the god of creation.

And just like that, his image was being broadcast to the world from a camera in the sky.

The people in the control tower were muttering amongst themselves in a panic.

"…No, if he's a god, why is he so ordinary?"

"He's handsome, but…That's the God we were afraid of?"

It was because he was so human.

In the last half year since God's destruction was declared, the people who had already thought of God as some kind of giant monster in their minds… just ordinary, handsome… They were baffled by the fact that God looked like a human being.

In fact, I was the only one still watching with a stony face.

I raised my hand and told them to be quiet in a serious voice.

If they were to be fooled by such an ordinary appearance, they would regret it.

ON The plains, toward the sun god, who appeared with a slight smile. Stardus opened HER mouth with a stern face.

"…Are you, the Sun God?"

"Yep. The one who warned you."

"Is this how you normally speak?"

"Huh? Ah. You're talking about when I told you I was going to kill you all. That's right, I was just trying to scare you. This is my normal way of speaking."

Helios, the sun god, replies lightly and Stardus swallowed hard as she watched.

…As expected, it was just as Egostic had told her.

Like the God of Stars, the Sun God basically took on a human form and contrary to her expectations, he was more relaxed. He hardly looked like the kind of god who would come to destroy this world.

"…."

But standing right in front of him, she could feel it.

Unlike his lighthearted demeanor, she could feel his power.

…Anyway, yeah. Anyway, for now, we seem to be able to talk.

Let's try talking to him.

With that thought, Stardus opened his mouth.

"…You."

"Huh?"

"You, why in the world are you trying to destroy the world?"

The Sun God stood on the ground, barefoot, arms raised, looking up at the sky.

After a moment, he lowered his arms, looked back at Stardus, and said with a slight smile.

"Ah… is that what you're wondering, did I tell you that you sinned back then, never mind."

With that, he turned to face her and opened his mouth.

"The real reason is nothing, really. I created you with the same code from another world to test the power of my creation, and now I wanted to use that power to create another life. There's only a certain amount of power I can take back from you."

As he said this, he looked up at the sky, still smiling, and said.

"Well… that, Star God. I didn't think Sīdus would disagree with me but after that fight…I guess it's become a bit of an emotional battle."

Well. You guys wouldn't understand a thing if I told you.

As he smiled and added, Stardus tried to say more.

If she stalled, she could gather more information…and maybe, just maybe, convince him.

However, as if to betray her expectations.

"Okay…that's enough, we're done talking, right? Enough with the reminiscing, we need to get on with our lives."

With that, he snapped his fingers.

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

At the same time, a vibration was felt in the ground, and an urgent voice came faintly from her earpiece.

[…Egostic, it is said that angels have appeared all over the world right now, we will immediately execute an apocalypse preparation operation!]

At the sight of that, Stardus' face stiffened.

"Hmmm. My child has betrayed me after all, I can't help it. I'll have to deal with this later, hey there, Star God's daughter."

"…Well."

"Yes, what's your name?"

At that, Stardus chewed on his hero's name.

"Stardus."

"…Stardus? Hmm. Maybe you named yourself after her on purpose. Anyway, yeah. Stardus. My name is Helios, god of the sun."

As he spoke, Helios rose into the sky, his silver form glowing behind him, and spoke.

"Since you are my arch-enemy and sent by her, it is only fitting that I take you down first and finish the job."

With those word Stardus saw behind him, behind what appeared to be an ordinary human, he could see the silvery form of a giant.

With the silver giant behind him Helios said, with a slight smile.

"I must commend you for thinking to confront me in human form…Now, I’ll send you to your god.”

With those words, the deity charged at her.

Stardus gritted her teeth and prepared to face the greatest enemy of her life.

The final war was beginning, at last.
