The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 404

Episode 404

“….”

I really didn’t like the look on Franz’s face when he heard what I said.

It’s a look in my eyes that says I’m not a villain, but a villain in the first place.

Often, what you want to say can be read even without you saying it out loud.

Perhaps because I’ve been with Yongyong for a long time, I feel like I can read other people’s inner thoughts.

After controlling his emotions for a moment, Franz shook his head and said.

“Maybe the prophecy was aimed at you too. “They probably branded you as someone who will destroy the world with the intention of confronting you.”

“I guess I didn’t think so at first.”

“I thought you were going to destroy the world.”

This is something I often hear.

But what is the point of destroying the world?

Even when I was crazy with hematoma, what I missed most was a civilized life.

And even if it’s annoying, I have no intention of destroying the world.

“I guess not now.”

“okay. But the rest of the world probably doesn’t think that way.”

“Because it appears to be a composition of good and evil.”

“Because I think God is good. “If you give yourself a miracle, you will think that way even more.”

If even prophecy can be handled like that, the arrangement of the self-proclaimed god has been targeting me for a long time.

Or perhaps, even after eliminating the Hermit Sage, they were preparing for the legacy he left behind.

All you have to do is attach the rest.

This is the preparation of a guy who has been preparing for a long time.

“Then I am the villain.”

“Others may criticize you, but I believe in you.”

“Should I say thank you?”

“do not do that. I’m not asking for a thank you either. “I just want to say that I know what is right and what is wrong.”

Franz also ultimately sees it from the perspective of hidden good and evil.

My thoughts were different.

Whether it’s me or a self-proclaimed god, I’m just trying to erase the existence of others who stand in the way for what I want.

Good and evil do not exist in it.

I will be evil to those who experience miracles due to the existence of God, and the existence of God will be evil to those who benefit from my existence.

But even though I don’t hesitate to take action when I think it’s evil.

This is why humans seem to be contradictory beings.

After parting ways with Franz, I headed to the Blue House.

Cheon Myeong-guk, who had been waiting in advance, welcomed me warmly. He seemed quite curious about the conversation I had with Franz.

Before that, I asked about the meeting at the Blue House.

“Sir Franz has a lot to endure because of this.”

“What do you mean by a lot?”

“He is a leader in Europe, but he is also a retired superman. As time passes, its influence is bound to weaken. And you will be subject to considerable scrutiny for coming into contact with an adept who is trying to confront God. “Maybe they will be dragged down by force.”

Cheon Myeong-guk explains that although there are many forces that support Franz, the forces of God are much stronger.

Did you come here even at the risk of losing power? This is a passage that shows the extent of old Franz’s determination.

“I guess I’ll have to do what the old man wants.”

I will cut off the head of the self-proclaimed god and give it to old Franz as a gift.

Only then will the sacrifice of inspiration not be in vain.

It seems like people who are still alive are treated like dead.

“I hope so too. “The current phenomenon is more dangerous than the threat of monsters.”

“Old Franz said I would be a public figure to the world.”

“It may not be to that extent, given what the Adept has done so far, but there is a high probability that most of them will turn into enemies.”

Cheon Myeong-guk is reluctant to say anything, but I know it well.

I tried to force it, but there were many people who were dissatisfied with me.

It was clear that those guys would be hostile to me for rebelling against God. In other places, it may not be direct, but it will take the form of indirect checks.

“I need to impress the President.”

“As we are entering the end of my term, most of the actions will have to be taken by Joo-ho.”

Jeong Joo-ho, who had resigned himself to Cheon Myeong-guk’s persistent explanations, recently announced his candidacy for president.

After being in charge of public affairs for a long time and his innovative achievements became known, he quickly established himself as a strong presidential candidate and is evaluated as having virtually been elected in the next presidential election.

When I saw him two days ago, he was looking as if he had survived.

If Chung Joo-ho is elected, as Cheon Myeong-guk said, it would be right to pass it on to the next election.

But just listening to the words, it sounds like Cheon Myeong-guk is trying to get out.

“Then what about the President?”

“…Well, since the president is stepping down, shouldn’t the new president take charge of the job?”

“is that so?”

“An example can be set only when the succession of power is done correctly. “I would like to be evaluated as a person who fulfilled my role during my term rather than as a person with a lingering attachment to power.”

“That sounds great.”

“thank you.”

“But aren’t there places where the president’s power is needed?”

Cheon Myeong-guk shook his head.

“In order to give power to the new president, it is best for the former president to remain silent. Anyway.”

Although this is correct in principle.

I noticed that he was trying to make a decision as if he might change my mind.

But somehow, I have no intention of letting go.

“Have you thought about anything since you retired?”

“I’m trying to relax. And I plan to explore the world with my family.”

Cheon Myeong-guk, who married late and has a young child, is said to always feel sorry for his family.

I remember the last time I saw it.

When I was searching for gifts, I was so busy on vacation that I couldn’t resist my offer.

However, that is only for a short period of time, and if you hold a public office like the President, you will inevitably become neglectful of your family.

It’s natural to feel sorry for your family, but each and every action seems like a ploy to get away.

That’s probably true.

“I’m sorry, so I just need to be more sorry.”

“What do you mean….”

“Please help me after you leave office.”

“I don’t like it!”

The answer that jumps out right away. It meant that he was anticipating what I would suggest.

Usually, if there is a stubborn refusal, you give up.

Rejection is enough if you say no.

“If I fight against a self-proclaimed god, I won’t be able to travel abroad comfortably. Wouldn’t it be better for me to clean up the self-proclaimed god and move on after peace comes?”

“….”

“The President’s simulation will be a great help in my movement.”

Cheon Myeong-guk sighs deeply.

“Is there no option for me to refuse?”

“I don’t think you will feel at ease even if you refuse anyway.”

“I am confident that I will have a comfortable stay.”

“Even though you rejected my offer?”

“….”

Cheon Myeong-guk’s characteristic facial expression appeared as he closed his mouth. A look of pain in the stomach.

In most cases, it is appropriate to say that one retires from the presidency, but it is impossible to let a talented person like Cheon Myeong-guk go.

“You think you’re looking for a new job after retirement.”

“Reluctance is a trap, though.”

“I think you will help me.”

“…All right.”

In this way, when Cheon Myeong-guk was at the Blue House, he was able to get a promise to help even after he came to the Blue House.

I expected something like this since there was a simulation anyway.

You are good at predicting other people’s affairs, but you seem to have a poor sense of reality when it comes to your own affairs.

No, I was desperately hoping that it wouldn’t become reality.

If so, I can confirm this.

It is impossible.

After completing his schedule for a few more days, Franz returned to Germany amidst the hospitality of the Blue House.

However, I thought that the rest of my life in Germany would not be easy as the self-proclaimed god was aiming at me.

Still, it would be important to have a focal point to oppose the self-proclaimed god. There will be dissatisfaction with religion being increasingly enforced, and having Franz who can gather those dissatisfaction would be of great help to me.

However, there is one thing that concerns me.

“You should know that your life is precious.”

This is because he is a person who does not spare his life for the greater good.

In my last life, even when my skills were already declining, I set out to defeat me.

Even though he knew he couldn’t defeat me at the time, he burned his existence.

Although it is absolutely unacceptable by my standards, I do not hate people like old man Franz and Da-hyun Jeong who are willing to give up their lives for their beliefs.

Of course, only if I am convinced.

[I’m here.]

As my thoughts continued endlessly, Yongyong returned.

“Did you talk to Hyuna?”

[Yes, we talked enough.]

“So what is the answer?”

[That…]

I could tell what kind of answer I got just by looking at the ending of the sentence.

“I guess it didn’t go well.”

[Hyuna wants to look at the situation a little longer.]

“Is this the answer you came up with after much thought?”

[Yes.]

After saying that, Yongyong hastily added.

[I understand your disappointment. It must be difficult to understand Hyuna’s decision. But it’s towards my own people. Since it is viewed as a completely independent entity, even if it harms another member of the family, it is difficult to move if there is no clear evidence.] Even

if Yongyong makes excuses, the essence is Hyuna’s non-intervention.

I understand.

I just don’t like it.

“Actually, from your perspective, it wouldn’t make much of a difference even if a self-proclaimed god ruled over humans.”

[That’s right.]

Self-proclaimed God succeeded and Thunderbird failed, but the essence of both was the same.

Even at that time, Hyuna and Yongyong showed no intention of intervening.

In fact, they didn’t want me to come at all because I was afraid they would side with the same divine beast.

From that perspective, there is nothing to be sad about.

So what Yongyong said was wrong.

There was no disappointment because there were no expectations in the first place.

[…But my thoughts are different.]

But something I didn’t expect came out of Yongyong.

The guy who made eye contact with me continued speaking with a determined expression that I had never seen before.

[I went around with you and saw all the behavior of this guy who calls himself a god. They have been working for one purpose for a long time and do not hesitate to eliminate their own people to achieve that goal. If we achieve our goal like this, our people will be next.]

Yongyong is right. I already have a record.

“Because the strength of the Shinsu will be a threat.”

[huh. He will try to eliminate all beings that pose a threat to him. Hyuna and I will be no exception. So, if you want to make a move, you have to do it now, when you are completely unprepared.]

Those were completely unexpected words.

Of course, I thought I would agree with Hyuna.

If you follow the flow of Yongyong’s words now….

[I will cooperate with you.]

“I thought you would move with Hyuna.”

[I wanted to do that as much as possible. So I persuaded him. However, Hyuna wanted to wait a little longer and I think that if we move a little faster, the damage will be reduced.]

“That’s surprising.”

[I didn’t know I would come forward like this. But I believe this is right.]

I couldn’t sense any lies in Yongyong’s eyes.

It’s definitely great because it’s Shinsu’s unprecedented cooperation, but can I completely trust Yongyong?

I wasn’t 100% sure.

Still, one thing is clear: we have been together for a long time, and based on that, Yongyong, who had always shared the same opinion as Hyuna, took a different route for the first time.

What an amazing guy.

There is no reason to refuse a favor.

“Okay, please take care of me.”

[Yes, me too.]

“Unexpected.”

[Looking at me like this, do I look amazing too?]

“Yes.”

[No, isn’t this enough to be considered amazing? At best, I decided to cooperate with my big heart… Huh? What did you say just now?]

Was my answer that surprising?

“It’s amazing.”

[Huh? Is that you? It’s not someone else, is it? what? Was I hallucinating?]

“I heard correctly.”

[Wow, this is really something you have to live for a long time to see? I heard that I was great from the head breaker of the world? Is this a dream or reality?]

Yongyong was so surprised that he tapped his cheek with his tail.

Still, as a god, was I being too generous?

“Even if I treat you comfortably, I know that your strength is great.”

[Did you know? I thought you didn’t know anything from the way you were acting. Uhehehe, I knew that. Yes, how great I am!]

I enjoy playing drums and janggu alone.

It’s not difficult to give lip service to this level.

On the contrary, seeing Yongyong so moved after hearing this made me think that I had done a great job.

You’re doing great.
