I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

Chapter 445: Lily of the Valley (20)

Chapter 445: Lily of the Valley (20)

“It all started the day the superhumans lost all their powers.”

Deep inside the HanEun Group base.

There, Kim Sun-woo began to tell his story in a calm manner.

“Can you imagine? Everyone’s powers disappeared in one day. Suddenly! It was unbelievable.”

Kim Sun-woo’s eyes widened and his hands trembled as he spread them out, as if he could still remember the moment.

“Everyone was concerned about what happened after it happened, what caused it… but… I was left to fend for myself.”

“The superpower is, of course, an individual characteristic… or an act of nature, written into the genes themselves?”

“You mean there was a ‘something’ that united all those abilities?”

Kim Sun-woo was speaking excitedly, as if he was recalling his own feelings from that time.

“Yes! That’s why I was so shocked. I felt like common sense as I knew it had been destroyed. It was the moment when the law of nature was destroyed.”

“So, immediately, to avoid further traces, I sent my staff away… I continued my research. I continued to search for the origins of superpowers.

And finally, after scouring the ancient texts, I came up with a theory.

That in this world, there are ‘gods’ who bestowed the superpowers upon mankind.”

When Kim Sun-woo said that much Han Seo-Eun frowned, unable to comprehend his words.

Gods, what does that mean?

He noticed her mood, laughed and said.

“Hehe…You still haven’t heard from the man. Yes. A god. Something beyond humanity. That’s what existed in this world. They gave humans their powers.

I didn’t know the details yet, but…There must be a god. If the powers are gone, it is because the god has gone into hiding…or… disappeared.”

“Whether that god is the god of the common religions, or the god of the sun, moon, stars, and other myths found in ancient documents… I don’t know that much…But one thing is certain. The fact is that these powers were the power of the gods!”

That was the end of Sun Woo’s words.

Han Seo-Eun, who had listened to him patiently, suddenly exploded in anger and shouted angrily

“What the hell are you talking about? Whether our powers are the powers of a god or not, what does that have to do with you attacking the association, mass producing people with superpowers, and attacking South Korea?”

“Hehe… Kid, don’t you realize what these words mean?”

After hearing that, Kim Sun-woo fixed his broken glasses with a cold expression, looked down at Han Seo-Eun and said.

“Mankind was merely used by the gods.”

“…What?”

“I don’t know what happened. But I’m sure there must have been some kind of fight between the gods, yes, just like in Greek mythology.

Anyway, as a result, supernatural powers were bestowed upon mankind. To be exact, only upon those chosen by God.

What kind of power was this? A power that the gods created just to toy with humans. The brand of sinners, proving that humans are the creatures of the gods?

Yes. Mankind has been played by the gods all along. This conflict, this fight…It’s all the gods’ doing.

That’s why, from the moment I realized this, I’ve been working to re-create superpowers. And…after years of research. After realizing the secrets of the gods, I succeeded in making it possible for humans to activate their abilities without the aid of the gods…All of them.

All of it to catch up with the gods.”

The moment Kim Sun-woo said that much.

-Woooooooooooooo.

The machine behind it, with the pillar of light in it, began to glow and hum.

In front of the backlit landscape, Kim Sun-woo stretched out his arms and shouted to the heavens.

“Yes! My goal is not to conquer Korea, Han Seo-eun!

I have only one goal. To make all humans into superhuman without the help of gods!

My goal is to make all humans like gods!”

With that maniacal voice, the machine’s pillar of light behind him shone brighter and then it stopped.

…Han Seo-Eun could only ask Kim Sun-woo one question.

“You… What is that machine behind you?”

“You mean this?”

Kim Sun-woo smiled creepily at the question and replied.

“This machine is the device that activates the superpowers of all humans in this world. The moment that light is fired into the sky, it will extend out into the world and permeate the human race.

And from that point on, humanity will become gods-.”

When she heard that Han Seo-Eun couldn’t help but deny it.

“That’s a lie…”

“Hmm?”

“You’re lying!!! There’s a god? Does all mankind have powers? You expect me to believe that nonsense?”

“Huh. Nonsense.”

Having said that, Kim Sun-woo turned his attention to Da-in and smirked.

“If you don’t believe me, ask him later when he wakes up. My guess is that he must be an apostle of a god. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have any power left.”

“…Han Seo-eun, you see now why I laughed when you said that my goal was to conquer Korea?

I was reborn the day I learned the whole truth, and to me, earthly goals no longer matter.

My goal in this life is to rebirth the humanity that has been used as puppets of the gods into a new humanity.

To be equal in power to the gods, to fight all the time…and sow discord… To overcome the inherent limitations of being born evil, and to create a new birth from the old human race.

A part of the human race will not always be useless, weak and culled as it is now…That is my only goal, to make every human being a god.”

Feeling dizzy, Han Seo-eun barely managed to retort.

“Don’t be ridiculous…Then what are the things you’ve done so far…?”

“The things I’ve done? Oh, you mean recently.”

“Hmm, yes. My first act was to raid the Hero Association and religious centers.

You still don’t understand why I did that?”

Having said that, Sun-woo spread out his hands as if reminiscing.

“First. The religious facilities. Disgusting places that worship God. I destroyed them first. Of course. Now that all of humanity is going to be gods, why should we allow false spaces that worship gods above ourselves?

Second. The Hero Association, also a no-brainer. It’s still home to two heretics who act as puppets of gods, so of course we have to get rid of them for the sake of the new age.

After that…yeah. The raid on the broadcast stations was, as you may have guessed, an attempt to bring all of this to humanity without your interference. Unfortunately, it failed, but so what? It doesn’t change the plan at all.

So, Han Seo-Eun, do you have any more questions?”

When Sun-woo left it at that Seo-eun said,

“Wait… Shut up.”

She could only run her fingers through her hair, trying to organize all the things she’d just heard.

There was a god in this world.

That god gave humans powers.

The superpowers were a god’s power.

‘Therefore, Kim Sun-woo’s purpose is to… to give all humans superpowers…’

To create a new race.

That was his purpose from the beginning, not to conquer Korea?

“…Nonsense.”

Han Seo-eun muttered that.

She glanced down at Da-in, who was still unconscious, hoping that he would agree with her.

He was still unconscious, Seo-Eun thought, still pointing all those lasers at Sun-Woo.

This was too good to be true, too far-fetched, too ridiculous.

Well, if it was true, the problem was the immediate future.

The world was dizzying even when only the chosen few used their powers, but everyone?

…Simply put, the world was in danger.

Of course, that’s not the point.

“What are you up to?”

“Hmm? What do you mean?”

“You… You wouldn’t move for a purpose that isn’t your own. So what, you’re going to turn humanity into a new race and then become a cult leader? As the father who created the new race?”

Han Seo-Eun said.

“Hahahaha…You still know one and don’t know the other, Han Seo-eun.”

Kim Sun-woo laughed, then he raised his glasses and continued his explanation.

“Yes. Where should I start? I artificially created supernatural powers. I created them by transforming the unknown residual energy gathered in the cube… This process was not easy. It required a large amount of human experimentation.

In the process…we naturally needed test subjects, and after much deliberation, we decided to test ourselves. Other civilians would become gods, and we could not sacrifice them.

And so, with the help of those who agreed with me, we conducted experiments and finally found a way to safely implant the powers. But… in the process, all those who had already been experimented on died.

I see what you mean, and you’re right. All of my people you met were already dying, which is why they were unafraid of death. They sacrificed themselves for the next generation of humanity.

And I, who directed the whole process, could not run away.

That’s why I alone have been implanted with all three abilities, Han Seo-eun!!!”

With those words, Kim Sun-woo formed something in his hand.

Flame, lightning and a whirling wind.

With that, he rolled up the sleeve of his arm and underneath appeared a blackened, ghastly arm.

Kim Sun-woo smiled bloodily and said to Han Seo-eun.

“Did you say you wanted to kill me? Congratulations, Han Seo-eun, I was already dying.”

Now you can believe the truth of my words.
