Ep.116 The Battle of Him and Her

The peaceful streets of Seoul today.

Since there were no terrorist attacks before and after the big Wolgwanggyo, citizens were able to walk in peace.

A crowded street as it was the weekend.

The latest pop songs from nearby mobile phone stores, music from coffee shops, and countless music from commercial speakers, the sound of countless people walking on the street, and the sound of cars passing by the road.

The street was living and breathing so loudly.

While walking on the street mixed with all kinds of music.

“……?”

The shopkeeper and some quick-witted people noticed something.

The music from the store's speakers suddenly turned into loud rock music.

The store, where girl groups' lively songs were playing until earlier, has suddenly turned into a song where the electric guitar's painful solo plays.

And more and more.

More and more, the sound of it got louder.

“Ugh…”

Now, the music was so loud that customers in the store frowned and covered their ears.

Finally, some people who were chatting on the street stopped for a while and looked back at the event.

-Ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.

The street became a concert hall in an instant as if it were a rock concert hall.

People now stopped, whispered, looked around, took out their cell phones, and began to take pictures of the streets.

An extraordinary scene in which all different speakers are united as one to produce rock music.

As people were wondering and joking if it was a hidden camera by some Youtuber.

Thud.

In the distance, at the same time the sound of something falling.

BOOOOOOOOOOM.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Suddenly something exploded, and smoke began to overflow the street.

Now that people realized that something was wrong, they started running all over the place.

Thud-.

Thud-.

“AAAAAAAAAAA! WHAT THE HELL?!”

Suddenly, an iron net fell from the sky and began to lock up people on the street one by one.

Citizens who have seen the movie “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs*” but never thought a giant cage would fall from the sky, were holding on to the bars of iron and shaking them and shouting “Argh!” one after another. *TN: The name of this movie in Korean is '하늘에서 음식이 내린다면', which means 'If Food Ever Fell From The Sky'.

The loud rock music kept ringing loudly.

Even police cars were dispatched to the streets which became chaotic and ran, but even they were trapped in barbed wire falling from the sky and shaking the bars helplessly.

Ziiiiiiiiiiing.

The live performance continued to resonate loudly in the trance of electric guitar.

And one by one, the cage filled with people chirping like birds trapped in a cage, began to rise into the air.

People were screaming in between.

The barbed wire that soon rose above the sky began to form a circle in the middle of the air.

And at the same time.

-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Suddenly, a man's insanity-soaked laughter began to flow from the speakers with loud rock music at explosive volume.

The grotesquely repeated laughter, huge rock music, and people struggling with barbed wire.

In the midst of a vast noise that rang all the way to the faraway city.

In a place that was full of confusion.

Suddenly, all the music turned off.

And at the same time.

With explosive volume, a mechanical voice came out of all the speakers simultaneously.

WELCOME TO THE SHOW-

And accordingly, in the middle of the barbed wire, at the same time a huge explosion, and pink smoke were scattered everywhere.

In the middle of it, a man was floating in the sky.

The iron thing was floating in the air.

Now, even the cameras were circling around it once again.

Accordingly, standing in the middle of the circle in the sky.

A man in a gray mask armed with a black hat, a black robe, and a black cape.

He held the microphone in one hand.

At the same time, all the cameras in the sky turned on.

The man's voice resounded loudly throughout the street.

“Hello, everyone. It's Egostic!”

And that

was a signal of Villain Egostic's attack.

***

Egostic.

Now, not only everyone in Korea knows him, he even has followers. Top 1 most influential villain since the establishment of the Korean branch of the Hero Association.

And  I didn't like the result.

'…Yes, I've neglected my main job too much lately.'

I hate people who are afraid but not terrified of villains.

I mean, haven't I done it quite splendidly so far?

Just what comes to my mind right now can be said to be quite splendid, such as train terrorism, plane crash, and bridge crash.

And yet why do they like this?

Yeah, to be honest, I was a little shocked when I saw the poll last time.

I mean, does it even make sense for me to be more popular than an class hero? I'm a villain doing nasty stuff behind Korea's back, not an idol…

Particularly, this phenomenon is worse in the long run.

Why did I become a villain in the first place? It was a justification that I would be the 'hardship' of Stardus myself because I would finish off the other original villains.

But if I suddenly become like this, it's overshadowed to call myself a hardship. I mean, what kind of villain is more popular than a hero?

And there's only one way to break this situation.

Terrorism, terrorism. More terrorism.

A threatening one.

That's why,

I'm in the middle of the street, in the air, watching people shivering in wire mesh.

And rock music that continues to reverberate in the streets.

So loud that their ears might bleed… Seo-eun's sense is quite nice though. Maybe it's because she took after me, she likes to make everything fancy.

[Din, I'm ready]

Eunwol's voice came from the in-ear.

That cage was heavy for me, so I got some help from Eun-wol, the Moon Shaman. She's manipulating it on the rooftop of the building over there.

Anyway, now that everything is ready, I should step up.

I turned on the camera and shouted loudly from the air.

“Hello, everyone. It's Egostic!”

My voice echoed from the hacked speakers as soon as I spoke up.

Floating in the air, grinning and holding against the wind, I looked at the chat window.

[Mango Stick appeared hahahahahahahaha]

[Wait, fuck. Already??? What the? Damn it!!!!!]

[Egostic is causing so much terrorism, it's fishy.]

[Here he comes, my porn hahahahaha. Right timing hahahahaha.]

[Fuck. The sound is so loud hahahahahaha. I'm watching it with earphones, but the band is making my ears throb hahahaha]

[What are the people inside the fence? Human zoo?]

[Mango is always above our imagination]

All right, the live broadcast seems to be going well.

After checking the chat window, I focused on terrorism again.

Oh, first of all.

I have to do this first.

I flicked my finger.

And at the same time, countless guns flung up in the air.

And all of the guns pointed at the people trapped in the wire mesh.

“Gosh…!”

They shivered as the guns turned to them.

As expected, there is no one who doesn't feel fear in front of real guns. Yeah, if I accidentally press those triggers, they'll die, how nervous would it be? The hostages should have been treated this way long ago. I've let it go so far.

Apart from that, I'm a little sorry to see people shivering in front of me, but I can't help it. It's time to show them some discipline.

“Oh, everyone! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.”

I waved the gun.

I still can feel the cool breeze blowing my cape weakly, perhaps because of the fine weather.

I said with a slight smile.

“I'm not trying to do anything bad. I'm just trying to shoot you in an hour.”

“Oh my god…!”

No, I'm not actually going to shoot.

But it's no use trying to make it look like it. A top villain should always show madness like 'That guy could shoot a real gun'.

“Haha! You have an hour before you all die! I'm broadcasting an hour of your life all over the country, so please say goodbye! I've always wondered how people would behave right before their death.”

“Sob…!!!”

More people were getting anxious.

Yeah, I think the madness I'm showing is working.

…But how long am I going to have to do this? It breaks my heart. I hope she'll come soon.

And at the same time as I thought about that.

From behind, there was a loud voice.

“That's it, Egostic!”

It's been quite a long time since I've heard it, but it's still that immature voice no matter how she shouts it.

When I heard her voice, I didn't bother to hide my smile. I turned off the loud rock music and looked back.

“Oh my, there's the disturbed.”

Red latex stuck to her whole body.

Her blond hair flew along with the wind.

And with slightly sky-blue eyes, she glared at me.

That's right, Stardus. It's her.

“What are you doing, you punk!”

Yeah, it's been a while since we've had this angry conversation.

I smiled and said to her, who glared at me slightly angrily.

“Yeah, yeah, Stardus. Long time no see. We seem to meet each other pretty often. It's like you're following me around… Huh, are you stalking me?”

“What? What the hell are you talking about! Look what you're doing now!”

She blushed back at my nonsense words. She's still weak at provocation.

I smiled, flapping my fingers.

“Well, whatever. You're here to stop me, right? Then come and stop me.”

She frowned as she watched me sitting on one of the nearby bars, crossing my legs and flapping my fingers. Like she couldn't tell what my intention was.

Actually, come to think of it, it's natural that I can't beat her. I don't know if I can last 10 seconds if I use Behemoth, but that's all. I'd be no match for her.

As I provoked her, she glared at me suspiciously.

But soon, as if she had made up her mind, she sprang up from where she was standing and began to fly toward me.

Yeah, that's how it should come out.

Seo-eun, it's your turn.

And right at that moment when she left her spot.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in the space between us.

BOOOOOOOOOOM.

Something huge gray fell from the sky, blocking me from her.

It looks like a huge suit, thick on both sides and thick on top and bottom.

As she stopped in the air at its sudden appearance, I raised my microphone again and shouted.

“I'm sorry, but I'm not your opponent this time!”

“Let me introduce you. A weapon made only for you. It's Starbuster!”

A voice rose from the terminator position as I shouted out with my arms wide open.

[Stardus, I'll deal with you!]

It was the voice of a young woman who couldn't be hidden by a mixture of mechanical sounds. Seo-eun… Why is your acting so awkward?

Anyway, that's not the point. It's important that Stardus' eyes are burning now.

Okay, let's begin.

“How long can you hold out against my Starbuster!! Now, Starbuster. Attack!”

[Arghhhhh!]

So Seo-eun's Starbuster threw a steel fist at the Stardus

The curtain of the show finally opened.

***

Stardus, Shin Haru is in a super bad mood right now.

Firstly, Egostic carried out another brutal terrorist attack.

Secondly,

[Wow! Is this the best you can do, auntie?]

…Who is this girl?

That girl, a villain is believed to be Egostic's new member.

Egostic with a girl as his colleague. That's so…

…Anyway, she doesn't like the way this kid talks. Very.

Swallowing her anger, she punched the same way as the fist was flying toward her.

…No.

This villain should be taken from here today.

It was her determination.
