The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 417

Episode 417

After Choi Jun-ho left, Lee Se-hee sat down and was lost in thought for a long time.

This is to look into the intention behind his request.

Why the Vatican? Currently, the Vatican is a place called a holy place. Naturally, defenses are thorough and information control is strict.

So, in order to track down supplies coming in and out of this place, you have to search thoroughly from the outskirts.

So what does Choi Jun-ho want?

“God and the Vatican. “I’m thinking of seeing the end.”

Lee Se-hee knew better than anyone else that the word compromise did not exist for Choi Jun-ho.

So I knew that even if I suggested it again and again, it wouldn’t work.

In the end, I have no choice but to accept Choi Jun-ho’s offer.

But I can’t help but feel worried.

Lee Se-hee took a deep breath and spoke to the person she had been feeling in front of her a little while ago.

“Are you satisfied now?”

“huh.”

The person who came inside was none other than Dahyun Jeong.

Lee Se-hee sighed, looking at his calm face.

“I was originally planning to try to persuade Junho a little more.”

“Even if I persuaded you, it wouldn’t have worked.”

“That’s right, Junho is not the type of person to be swayed by other people’s words.”

“Good idea. As expected, it’s Sehee.”

“Don’t think about going over like that, just sit down. “I want to hear the details of the situation.”

“It’s nothing special.”

“It may not be a big deal to you, but it’s not to me.”

Lee Se-hee forced Jeong Da-hyun, who was trying to avoid her, to sit down and continued speaking with a serious expression.

“So what happened? “I heard Junho took care of Argos?”

“Well…”

“Don’t you think about lying to me? “I will find out the truth even if I have to go to the ends of the earth.”

Lee Se-hee, who could not avoid the persistent eyes that were following her, explained the situation in detail.

“Dangerous. “It’s too dangerous.”

“I know. But you know that this is the only way, right?”

“I know, that’s why it’s a problem. The other person is God, right?”

“Actually, he is not a god, but a god impersonating a god.”

“anyway. It is important that your ability is comparable to that of God. Do you think Junho can deal with this monster?”

“I think it’s possible.”

Lee Se-hee sighed deeply as she answered without any hesitation.

At some point, Jeong Da-hyun’s reaction was also abnormal.

If you let your guard down, even you can fall for it, so you have to keep your mind strong.

“…I asked the wrong question. “If you ask Fanatic Choi Jun-ho No. 1, the answer is that of course it is possible.”

“So you don’t believe it?”

“I believe it too. But it’s not because it’s dangerous. No matter what, he is a god. “Even if we compromise moderately, Junho has a lot to gain.”

“That’s not Junho oppa’s style, is it?”

In the end, normal conversation was impossible.

Lee Se-hee, who was shaking her head, chuckled.

Yes, if you can’t avoid this fight anyway, it’s best to enjoy it head on.

Since this is a category in which he and Shinsung Group cannot be separated from Choi Jun-ho, he should do his best to win.

Once I made that decision, I felt much more comfortable.

“But these days, you’re following me around a lot? Are you very determined and trying to look good?”

“Isn’t that what it is?”

“Anyway, tell me more. “I have to think about how to support Junho.”

“okay.”

Jeong Da-hyun nodded and continued speaking.

Looking back, getting the information from Roberto was a great harvest.

[That’s right, it’s a big harvest.]

Yongyong also actively agreed to this.

“What do you think about the self-proclaimed god losing his body?”

[It makes sense. No matter how strong you are, it is not easy to remain intact even when dealing with a divine beast. What’s more, we know of two cases?]

“The sage of dragon seclusion.”

In addition, there is a possibility that the self-proclaimed god may have touched other divine beasts.

[Even if we had been able to overpower it, we would have been hurt. And it will be difficult to recover from injuries sustained in a battle between divine beasts.]

“Why didn’t I notice that?”

[You were mistaken. [They thought that the god was strong and the opponent was weak.]

Moreover, the dragon was a highly recognized divine beast in itself, and the hermit sage was a being with such strange numbers that even the self-proclaimed god felt inferior.

There is no way it is weak.

With that in mind, I immediately began researching the activities of the self-proclaimed god.

Because he was a cautious guy, he didn’t leave any traces of himself. However, some of the circumstances that emerged made it possible to guess the state of the self-proclaimed god.

“It’s true that there is a problem.”

Otherwise, there were so many unnecessary actions that the self-proclaimed god would not have performed.

I thought I was being too cautious, but if you look at this from a different perspective, everything is explained.

“What happens if a divine beast does not have a body?”

[It’s very uncomfortable.]

“Is that the end?”

[No, that’s not the only problem. There are significant limitations in projecting power.]

“I understand.”

Therefore, the self-proclaimed god did not appear directly, but used a saint.

The existence of a saint who can act on his behalf and project his power as much as possible.

“Then he must be holed up in the Vatican and working hard to restore his body.”

[It is highly likely.]

“It is a matter of restoring the body of a divine beast. “You can’t do it with just anything, right?”

[I’ve never recovered a body myself, but I’m sure I will. Because our bodies are optimized for exerting strength. If you restore it clumsily, cracks will actually occur.]

“That means…”

[You can’t use just anything.]

In order to construct the body of a self-proclaimed god, the minimum required is a by-product of the two-horned monster.

Now that I think about it, I remembered the news that they had successfully hunted a two-horned monster in Europe some time ago.

If you remember where the material went, the situation will become clear.

No, if you go back further, there is also Draculea.

Could it be that the self-proclaimed god allowed the two-horned monster to appear in Europe? If you hunt it, are you going to use your energy to restore your body?

[But you won’t be able to make it right away.]

Yongyong said that a few more conditions were needed.

It is said that the divine beast has existed for a long time and has formed its own spirituality, and when constructing the body, it must be created in a form optimized for this.

The first body is easy to work with, but using other materials is a completely different problem.

[Because you have to make a material with completely different properties your own. Now I understand why God is not active.]

“It’s not bad news for us.”

[It might actually be worse.]

“Why?”

[What if we succeed in restoring the body? A new beast with absolute power that we have never experienced before is born. Its strength may rival that of a true god.]

As he said that, I became even more curious.

How strong is it?

I feel like my hands are itching.

[Don’t imagine anything strange.]

“…The point is that we have to stop it before it completely forms a body, right?”

[I know very well.]

I know very well what Yongyong means. And that it is the best path for me.

A few thoughts ran through my mind, but I didn’t worry for long.

“First, let’s make sure what we were tracking is true.”

*

Information heading to the Vatican was tightly controlled, but the self-proclaimed god’s security network was not enough to cover all of Europe.

Unlike the Vatican, which showed no loopholes, traces remained in other places where information occurred.

“What Junho said was right. “The hunt for the ‘Titan’ that appeared in Europe is known to have been successful, but the whereabouts of the by-products remain unknown.”

It was a moment when the hypothesis that Yongyong and I came up with was exactly correct.

Lee Se-hee said with a serious expression that this matter was by no means light.

“It’s a Plus Plus level monster. By using the by-products of such monsters, astronomical value can be produced, but it is difficult to understand that their whereabouts are unknown.”

“No word from inside?”

“It was in the beginning. However, those people disappeared without anyone knowing and started another incident, distracting attention. Now, it has established itself as something that no one is curious about and should not be curious about.”

“You’re silencing me.”

“It has to do with God, right?”

“that’s right.”

“…I don’t think it’s unusual as the material is the material. “Is there anything I should be more careful about in this regard?”

“No, just pay attention like you are now.”

It was enough for the question I had in my mind to turn out to be true.

[It would be nice to do more research, but I have enough doubts.]

There is no guarantee that the desired information will flow in like this time.

“Don’t overdo it. “It’s still a big help to me.”

“Yes, don’t worry about me. But you don’t want to go right away, do you?”

Lee Se-hee’s eyes narrowed the siege.

“The Vatican.”

“I’m not going.”

“Really?”

“Oh really.”

I think they see me as someone who always gets into trouble.

[Then you are seeing it correctly? And is that all you have to say there?]

I slowly turned my head and saw Lee Se-hee’s face full of anticipation.

I think I know what you’re worried about.

I sighed lightly and then said.

“…Don’t worry, it will end well.”

“yes.”

I left the Shinsung Group headquarters and spoke to Yongyong.

Since the hypothesis of restoring the body of the self-proclaimed god was correct, I thought about checking other hypotheses as well.

“Let’s go to Greenland.”

[Didn’t I just tell you to be safe?]

“Because it’s not a dangerous place.”

[Well, that’s not wrong. But why is it there?]

“Something the self-proclaimed god said was disturbing.”

Ever since I clashed with the self-proclaimed god, I have been worried.

Why did a guy strong enough to call himself a god react so violently the moment he thought of the hermit sage?

Even though he lost his body, his strength was real. If it weren’t for me, who thinks crookedly about everything, the powerful being that everyone would have accepted as a god is a self-proclaimed god.

If you peel off the fancy outer packaging, the devil suits you better than a god.

I wondered why a self-proclaimed god would feel inferior to a reclusive sage.

“If he was a bigger guy than I knew, he probably had more hidden in his hiding place.”

[How do you think that way?]

“That’s how sneaky guys are.”

[…I don’t understand at all, but let’s go.]

If it’s true that he sent me back to the past, he might know where I’ll find him.

Maybe he’s acting according to the scenario he planned.

“If it’s a bother, don’t follow me.”

[I don’t know what they’ll do without me, but I can’t stay still. I will go with you.]

“I see. “Then let’s go.”

[Okay.]

I headed to Greenland with Yongyong that way. And I was able to reach the hermit sage’s hideout through the same location as before.

The scene is the same as before, except that the place where he did the experiment and the place where the body was was now empty.

[I don’t think there’s anything?]

“….”

[What are you doing? It seems like there is nothing…]

“Wait a moment.”

I took out the thing that had been squirming in my arms a little while ago.

[uh? [That

was…] the blood feeding core.

Originally, one would have thought there was nothing, but this was reacting.

I followed that reaction. There was a passage there that I thought was a small gap. The very narrow, winding road was so narrow that I could barely fit my entire body inside.

[uh? Was this the way?]

Yongyong’s thoughts were my thoughts.

This place, which I thought was just a small gap, was completely cognitively impaired and I and Yongyong couldn’t find it unless I was paying close attention.

What were the thoughts behind creating this space?

I tried to guess what the hermit sage intended in my head, but it was not easy to guess the thoughts of a guy crazy about experiments.

After walking for about 10 minutes, the end was finally in sight.

In a space the size of a classroom, a figure with a translucent body stood.

[Human? No, this is…!]

Yongyong is astonished.

[Shinsu!]

This may be my first time seeing Yongyong, but he is a face I have encountered in the world of imagination.

The guy turned his head towards where I was and smiled brightly at me.

“….”

My judgment began to be distorted as I saw him look at ease in the world by himself.
