The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 409
Episode 409
The news that a saint might visit Korea was very unexpected.
To be honest, I thought the self-proclaimed god would come with more insidious tricks.
However, a visit by a saint could be a bold yet painful move.
As if to prove it, a small man who brought news from America made a fuss at me.
“Jun Ho! This is a huge big event! “It’s amazing!”
“Calm down.”
“Oh sorry. “I made a mistake because it was a surprise.”
The little man who was stopped by me obediently retreated. But he still seemed full of excitement.
“Is this a story about a saint’s visit?”
“that’s right. “Did you expect it, Junho?”
“at all.”
“This is something that can turn against Junho by pestering him.”
“I know that too.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“We’ll have to watch.”
“Is that the end?”
“Oh, the end.”
When I say things are going against me, I also mean when I am influenced.
I was willing to quietly watch to see what moves the self-proclaimed god would make.
“How about America?”
“It tastes like death.”
“I’m going to kill you.”
“Really! “That self-proclaimed god is truly crazy!”
The very excited guy raised his voice.
The explanation of the situation in the United States that followed was insufficient to say that it was terrible.
The existence of God, which invaded existing religions, spread rapidly throughout the United States. At first, the momentum seemed calm, but at some point it spread at a rate that the government could not control.
One of the reasons cited is that I killed the lawmakers.
They were also faithful religious people, but because their power was more important, they desperately tried to keep it in check, but the vacuum had widened because of me.
So the conclusion is.
“It’s my fault?”
“No, it’s not necessarily Junho’s fault…”
“Then?”
“It means there are multiple perspectives. Don’t misunderstand me too much and listen to me haha.”
“Don’t misunderstand.”
Even if it wasn’t me anyway, it was inevitable that the presence of the self-proclaimed god would become stronger.
This guy is making a full-fledged move, and the only being that can stop him is a divine beast.
No, the U.S. government and party are intelligent places, so they may have come up with their own methods.
And before I went to meet Leviathan, I introduced Akeri to the U.S. government.
“Wouldn’t it be okay to ask Akeri?”
“Well, it’s so annoying that it’s hard to approach.”
“Is that still the case?”
“The problem is that you are too lazy. That’s why it’s sad and scary.”
I thought Akeri could be a good partner, but it seems like she still can’t control her anger.
“Then I guess I’m helpless.”
“That’s bullshit.”
“Are there any countermeasures?”
“The government has decided to join forces with the party. “It’s a united front.”
This is something that was completely unexpected.
The solidarity between the government and the party, which were almost enemies. Have they changed or have they joined forces over a common enemy?
Whatever it was, it was clear that it would be a great help in dealing with the self-proclaimed god.
“So you came to convey the U.S. government’s position?”
“No, I will continue the research I stopped doing.”
“Oh, that.”
“Jun Ho! “You emphasized that it was so important, but you didn’t forget it, right?”
“at all. “You guys helped me a lot with my research.”
“really?”
“uh.”
If it weren’t for the research results of Zolaman and the doctors, he would have had a hard time dealing with other divine beasts or heading to the place where the hermit sage was.
With their help, I theorized and reorganized what I was vaguely thinking about, and learned it. It was literally a series of successes.
Personally, I am grateful.
“I’m glad it helped. “Then can I continue my research?”
“I’m fine. “But the U.S. government didn’t say anything?”
“I did. But it’s not something Junho can listen to.”
“What?”
“That’s…”
The hesitating little man began to explain the whole story, as if he knew he couldn’t hide it any longer.

“Things in America are likely worse than we thought.”
What Zolaman said was too serious to be said lightly. So, I visited the Blue House to share the situation with Cheon Myeong-guk and get advice.
So that’s what came out.
“A defense treaty is usually a proposal made by the side that wants to receive help. “It is safe to say that the U.S. government is either in a serious situation or is aware that it will be in a serious situation in the future.”
This was the essence of the offer made to me in the United States.
“Mutual defense.”
“There may have been a thought that a collision between a superhuman and a god would be inevitable.”
“What do you think, Mr. President?”
“If you are asking for my personal opinion, I think it is best to accept it.”
“is it so?”
“In this era when an abnormal being called God has appeared, it is safe to say that the United States is the only country that can be trusted while being in harmony with the superhuman.”
The president has a high opinion of the United States. But that isn’t wrong.
If I had to choose a country I could trust, the United States would be the only one.
“There might be cases like this.”
“What…”
“If you have already surrendered to God and it is a trap to catch me.”
“…!”
“They just thought that if they could gain profits they could not have imagined, they could take advantage of the trust they had built up over time.”
It is not the exclusive domain of humans to use any means and methods to achieve a goal. Rather, to the extent that it resembles human cunning, God can be larger in scale than human beings.
Cheon Myeong-guk, with a serious expression, nodded.
“It’s not like it’s impossible. No, on the contrary, I was personally impressed when I saw the adept who was open to possibilities in that direction.”
“I guess it was a development that was also in the simulation, right?”
“yes. But I personally think that the possibility is slim.”
“Then I’ll accept it.”
In any case, it is not about contracts being passed back and forth, but rather it is based on mutual trust. It’s good for me to be able to exert influence over the United States, and it’s good for the U.S. government to have a Joker in their hands.
Cheon Myeong-guk seemed to want me to think about it more, but he confirmed that it was a situation I could fully control.
“Next is a saint.”
“He said he would come.”
“Has it been decided?”
“yes.”
Cheon Myeong-guk said that the saint, who had been planning to visit Korea, has confirmed her visit since yesterday.
Soon, a date will be set and a visit will be made, but this visit is like a double-edged sword for the self-proclaimed god.
“The saint knows that it is the most efficient means of projecting one’s will to God.”
“you’re right.”
“It is not easy to dispatch that means to this place, which can be said to be the enemy’s headquarters.”
“Even through simulation?”
“That’s right.”
Cheon Myeong-guk’s expression was stiff as he answered. He revealed that even with his simulation, there was no clear explanation of the saint’s visit.
“Strictly speaking, this is a number that can kill itself.”
“Because there is a possibility that the saint will return safely.”
“…yes.”
You may be able to plant a flag in the enemy’s camp with a bold move, but there are too many things you have to endure for that.
There were parts I also agreed with.
“I feel like I’m still not good enough. “If the simulation had been developed further, it would have been possible to see what God’s intentions were.”
“Not really.”
“Do you see things differently, Adept?”
“The thoughts of self-proclaimed gods may be higher than ours, but in the end, they are nothing more than a number placed on human society. “There are limitations in dealing with humans.”
Also, even if the moves made by the divine beast are high-level, there is no need to rack your brains to fully understand their intentions.
Sometimes simplicity is best when it comes to complexity.
“And you have to think about this too.”
Can the saint’s visit to this place be considered entirely God’s will?
Of course, it can be said that a saint belongs to God and is a servant who faithfully follows his orders.
But I know.
The saint, who was known as the most faithful servant, had actually harbored doubts about the existence of God for a long time.
Once a seed of doubt is planted, it sprouts and blooms faster than it disappears.
“Coming here may be due to the saint’s will.”
“Even if you go against God’s will?”
“yes.”
More details will be revealed when the saint comes.

The saint’s surprise visit caused a great stir not only in Korea but also around the world.
With the advent of self-proclaimed gods, the world was largely divided into three.
A place that follows God, a place that opposes the existence of God, a place that watches on.
Among them, the saint was like the pinnacle of those who follow God, and Korea plays the role of leader in places that oppose such God.
Apart from this tension, the saint visited with the hospitality of her followers and created a friendly atmosphere by meeting with the Blue House and other figures in Korea’s political and business circles.
To the extent that even the media was confused by the atmosphere.
In particular, President Cheon Myeong-guk had also created a way out by saying, ‘If we narrow the differences in ideas, we will be able to produce mutually satisfactory results.’
It was later that the saint, who was carrying out an official schedule, secretly appeared before me.
“Nice to meet you. How have you been?”
“I guess you could say I’ve been doing well. “But you sound like you’re comfortable with it.”
“Why, you made the very rigid atmosphere very soft. “Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy this peace, even if just for a little while?”
“Does your master want that too?”
“sure. God wants everyone to be happy.”
At the same time, he pretended to be praying in a pious manner, but it was an action that would not work.
“Is it God’s will that I came today?”
“What do you think?”
“Probably not.”
“Did you see it that way?”
Just make a surprised expression. I paid no heed to the saintess’ reaction and quietly observed the momentum.
I couldn’t see it before, but as I went a few steps further, I was able to see more.
One of them is the energy surrounding the saint. This may seem sacred at first glance, but if you look closely, you will see that it is thoroughly controlled by someone.
If the person involved is not a saint, only one remains.
“I see you’re being considerate of your actions now.”
“I am the one you have served for the longest time. God is merciful. “They tolerate that much.”
I answered as he smiled brightly.
“Do you mean what we do when God is not watching?”
“…sure.”
“You speak well.”
“What do you mean?”
“Because I can feel your master watching right now.”
“….”
The saintess’s expression hardened. I guess he felt that I wasn’t just saying this in passing.
“Your master said he wanted to talk to me.”
“no. God said it wasn’t the right time.”
“okay? “I’m not.”
However, the self-proclaimed god did not respond to my provocation and chose to quietly disappear.
I clicked my tongue inwardly at the distant presence. Even if you try to bring it out, it will be difficult if they don’t respond. I looked at the saint, thinking that she was a difficult person.
“Okay, since you drove out your master like this, you can say whatever you want to me.”
“…How do you do that?”
Perhaps from the beginning, the saint was aiming for the moment when God was distant.
And from now on, I will reveal my purpose for coming here.
“So what do you want to say?”
“Can you kill me?”
