The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 286:

Herbert smiled and sat across from Phantom. The more I looked at the failed state of Phantom, one of the five stars that once represented the world and the leader of a party that encompassed the world, the more I couldn’t help but laugh.

Phantom was openly showing his disapproval at Herbert’s behavior.

“How long are you going to wear masks between us?”

“Let’s just talk about business.”

“haha.”

“Don’t laugh.”

Herbert shrugged his shoulders at the cold tone in his voice.

“Still, it’s a lifesaver, but it’s mean.”

“Do you want to show off like that?”

“It was about getting along well. “Clearing out the league wouldn’t be a bad development for the party.”

“It’s not bad, but you guys will benefit more.”

“It’s about getting along well with each other.”

Herbert spoke proudly, but the Phantom’s eyes were sharp when he saw it.

“The method of pretending to be a good person while taking profits is still the same. So what do you want from me?”

“It is the future of America.”

“It sounds like our territory has become narrower because it’s the United States, but I’m probably not mistaken.”

“I know that although it is slowing down for a moment, the party’s influence is still global.”

But it is a divided force. The party’s power cannot be combined as one unless the ‘Leviathan’ of the sea is eliminated.

At a time when powers in Europe were trying to take their own course, it was safe to say that the party’s power was at its weakest in history.

In the past, American presidents would bow their heads and try their best to be chosen.

Phantom felt the transience of time.

“Stop being sarcastic and get the real deal out of the way.”

“I hope Headbreaker will actively cooperate with us in hunting the Thunderbird.”

“What benefit will you get from it?”

“No matter what the outcome is, we have nothing to lose.”

Even if Choi Jun-ho hunts the Thunderbird or even if Choi Jun-ho gets hit.

The Phantom saw through the evil plan hidden within it.

If Choi Jun-ho hunts the thunderbird, he will get rid of America’s headache. Cooperating in the process will be viewed favorably by the superhuman who hunted the divine beast.

If the opposite result comes out and Choi Jun-ho dies, he will be called the world’s strongest and will have to deal with a bomb that could explode at any moment.

Phantom recalled the moment when Herbert ran for president.

The approval rating that overwhelmingly voted for the candidate they chose was a ‘sneaky’ hidden behind that friendly-looking smile.

“What a sneaky guy.”

“Personally, I am wholeheartedly rooting for Head Breaker.”

To that end, we are seeking Phantom’s cooperation. Because the party had more information about the Thunderbird than the U.S. government.

Phantom was lost in thought for a moment.

I didn’t like the way it matched Herbert’s rhythm, but his method wasn’t bad.

If two beings collide, even if one side wins, it won’t be safe.

Even if the Thunderbirds cannot interfere in the league, it is possible to attack with Maxim Guedes at the forefront.

“Let’s cooperate.”

“thank you. So we’re in the same boat with this one. I will leave it up to you.”

Herbert, smiling brightly, extended his hand to the Phantom. Phantom, who was looking at this silently, snorted.

“Are you asking me to help you now? “This time won’t be easy.”

“Why don’t you do that and help me too. “It’s going to be difficult these days because of the approval ratings.”

“hate.”

Seeing the shameless guy asking for help in the upcoming election, Phantom got up and disappeared.

Herbert, who had been smiling until then, sat down and complained.

“It wouldn’t be strange even if I went to the grave a long time ago. My spirit is so tight.”

* * *

The information received from Maxim Guedes was essentially the same as that provided by the U.S. government.

However, I was able to deeply understand the history connected with the Thunderbird, and I was able to see that Argos, the founder of the League, was more deeply involved in the human world than I thought through his cooperative relationship with the Thunderbird and the frequency of its appearances.

[This is more than I thought…]

Yongyong also looked confused. According to the information, the Thunderbird’s intervention in the human world was at a level beyond expectations.

“It seems like there is something you want to do through the league.”

[No, I don’t think it’s to that extent. You said that these human organizations are hostile, right? So I think they added a lot to their imagination.]

Even so, you can’t deny that there was a lot of Thunderbird’s involvement.

There is a high probability that Argos and some others received something from Thunderbird, just like I received from Yongyong.

No, unlike the salty Yongyong, there is a high probability that he gave more to him.

Yongyong was furious.

[Why are you calling me a salty stone there?]

You’re just calling a salty stone a salty stone, but you’re talking as if there’s something wrong with it.

[Wow, that’s unfair! What more do you think I’ll give you for doing that?]

He’s even become more perceptive.

I feel like only bad things are growing quickly.

anyway.

The high frequency of Thunderbird’s intervention suggested that there were hidden intentions behind it.

I still don’t know what it is, but one thing is clear.

“If you kill him, everything will be resolved.”

However, the catch is that there is room for the league to intervene when dealing with the Thunderbirds.

A normal person would be swept away just by coming near it and wouldn’t even be able to leave a trace.

[i think so too. After all, it’s a battle between a god and a monster, so I don’t have to worry about it, right?]

Now he’s calmly calling me a monster. Wasn’t he an infinitely insignificant person by your standards?

[It’s strange that you want to be treated like a human being at this level.]

Do you really think I’m strange?

[Yes.]

He was so confident that I had nothing to say.

While talking about Yongyong and the Thunderbird, I visited Stanford and talked to PhDs, learning tips on how to deal with graduate students (gifts).

When I told them that I was mobilizing existing graduate students (Mandeuk, Gwangsim, and Jellyeon) to draw attention to the possibility of ego in other gifts and to attract them, they got so excited that they rushed over.

“Recruiting graduate students as a graduate student! “Junho has the talent to surpass us!”

“This is a revolution! “Jola is amazing!”

“When I look at Junho, I feel the difference in his talent. “How can you come up with such an idea?”

For some reason, I felt happy to receive rave reviews from doctors. I felt like I was moving in the right direction. We need to provide more encouragement so we can recruit new people.

After that, I went to check my gifts while dealing with Maxim Geddes.

As expected from a strong guy, it held up well and made pounding enjoyable.

In some ways, it felt like he was more proactive than me in eliminating the Thunderbird.

“Because in order to get rid of the League, you have to get rid of the Thunderbird.”

I didn’t know you were that active.

“I don’t know how the divine beast transmits its power, but the Thunderbird’s role is largely responsible for Argos being able to transcend human limitations. “Only when he disappears can we remove the central point of the league.”

A deep murderous spirit seeped out of every word. Because anyone can have a grudge against someone. If you lack skills in the process, you will be trampled.

“Don’t expect any concessions. “If you catch it in my hands, you will die.”

“I guess that can’t be helped.”

“It doesn’t matter as long as you get rid of it first.”

“Thank you.”

The guy agreed without much resistance, glanced at me and spoke with a serious expression.

“Aren’t you curious why I have such a grudge against the League?”

It was new wave time.

Maxim Geddes seemed to have made up quite a decision and was about to speak, but I wasn’t happy about it.

“I’m not really curious.”

“….”

“It’s about time the league broke away from the party.”

“I said I’m not curious.”

[Does he want to talk? I’m curious, so let’s just listen.]

I failed in my strategy, but Yongyong’s strategy was successful. Although he was not interested in the obvious new school, Maxim Guedes had no intention of stopping.

I can’t help it.

“try.”

The story that started like that was literally an obvious new wave.

A story of revenge of a man who lost both his wife and children due to the League. He tried to sacrifice everything he had to gain power, and with the power he gained, he began to take revenge.

[There was such a story. For revenge, he gave up his ability to reproduce and gained power… That person is cool.]

I was actually annoyed when I heard it, but Yongyong was in an uproar. It was a consensus that I couldn’t understand, but I thought it would be tiring to think about it further, so I decided to do it.

[Isn’t it usually necessary to sympathize and give strength? Do you know how big of a decision it is to give up your ability to reproduce?]

Useless sentimentality can lead to fatal injuries in a confrontation.

Isn’t it natural to get stepped on if you’re weak?

[You are strong, but your family is not.]

So, I raised a doggie and placed a Berserker nearby.

When Joo-ho Jeong becomes a superhuman, I plan to place him nearby.

There is no reason to add strength to a story that is not very relatable.

[It’s really mean.]

It’s much better to spend your time feeling sentimental and researching how to become stronger.

Looking at Yongyong, I thought he heard everything, so I called his attention.

“I will make you stronger.”

“how?”

“First, survive.”

If you are safe, you will naturally become stronger. Berserker has also grown that way, so it would also apply to Maxim Geddes.

It is stronger than Berserker and has better recovery. I could use a little more force.

“Now wait…!”

Soon, screams began to echo.

* * *

It certainly seems like the range of movement I can move has increased since I gave Mandeuk a degree of freedom.

The three musketeers (Mandeuk Gwangsim Smelting) assist me by focusing on the parts I instructed and performing their roles, and I focus on utilizing existing gifts.

This allowed him to completely obliterate his opponent without distracting himself.

As a result, I became greedy.

I thought it would be good to increase the number of graduate students like Mandeuk.

They told me to find people who would share the pain with them, but I don’t know if that’s going well.

“It would be nice to have someone more useful.”

About three more days had passed since then. I received an urgent call from the Three Musketeers.

As I entered the world of imagination, I was told that I had found someone who would give me strength.

“okay?”

I guess there was a sense of self that I couldn’t sense. From the way he was talking, it seemed like it was just one guy, but I had a feeling it was somewhere.

So I was going to go see the new recruit… but

I found an unlucky face.

These guys are crazy.

“Why did you miss me?”

It was the hematoma that was grinning at me. So, you’re saying that the reinforcements that these guys were so excited to find was Hematoma and not anyone else?

It’s my fault for trusting them.

I clicked my tongue as I felt pitiful, but the guy didn’t seem to care and just said what he wanted to say.

“You said you were doing something fun? “By assigning the work to your co-workers, you become more powerful. This is something you would never have accepted in the past.”

“Were you watching that like a pervert?”

“My hobby these days is watching what you do. “It was interesting to go out in search of a fairly strong enemy, and it was also surprising how you showed self-respect.”

“Because I’m not crazy like you.”

A sneer appeared on the hematologist’s face. He has the same face as me, but he really looks like I want to hit him.

“You sound ridiculous. My personality is based on you. “If I’m crazy, it means you’re crazy too.”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

“Even if I tell you the truth, I won’t listen. Well, he was originally that kind of guy. “If you blame it on others, you will be able to preserve what remains of your sanity.”

The guy was smiling unluckily. I don’t know why I have so much leisure.

Only after hearing the following words did I understand why he had such an attitude.

“You need my strength right now, right? Then you have to beg me, right?”

So, are you saying that I have to struggle to hire a graduate student right now?

The guy who knows that is doing something called abuse of power to me?

“Now, please do me a favor. Depending on your attitude, I will consider cooperation.”

“Are you willing to listen to me if I ask you a favor?”

“You can at least think about it. “This is a request made by the main body, not anyone else, putting aside our pride, so shouldn’t we listen to it?”

It was a confidence that came from thinking that I needed my own strength to catch the thunderbird.

But the hematoma was mistaken. I know as much about him as he knows about me.

Rather, I was the one who lost my body to him and watched him for a much longer time.

“Why am I asking you? “If you’re going to do it, you should do it.”

“what? under!”

Hematoma snorted.

“I think you’re misunderstanding something…”

“Are you itchy? “I want to break, tear, and tear.”

“…!”

The guy’s expression hardened. It was an image I wanted to capture on video and preserve for a long time.

It’s a shame that it’s impossible because it’s a world of imagination.

“You are the one who wants to come forward. So, I sent a signal to Mandeuk.”

This guy is skilled enough to not be detected by the Three Musketeers.

But why was it necessary to be called here? That’s no different from revealing yourself.

I spoke leisurely, savoring his expression as if I was about to eat a delicacy.

“Get on your knees and beg that you want to become a graduate student. Then I might at least give you some thought.”
