The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 238:

The road into the Blue House.

The streets, which had been bustling with reporters just a moment ago, were deserted. All kinds of sculptures and well-maintained roads gave the feeling of being isolated from a world full of monsters and villains.

“Korea seems like a really cool place. “There are fewer monsters and fewer villains.”

The saint was standing next to me and talking to me in a friendly way, as if asking if she had seen each other before.

Normally, I would have ignored whatever the foreign customer was saying, but since they spoke in Korean, it was difficult to just ignore them.

“When did you learn Korean?”

“This is basic for a saint.”

“Not everyone can become a saint.”

“sure. Starting with all kinds of liberal arts and cultural education, you must master dozens of foreign languages. “Only after completing the course are you qualified to become a saint.”

“Is being a saint worth it?”

“Doesn’t it look like there’s a head breaker?”

“I’m asking because I don’t know.”

[This guy is no ordinary person either.]

Yongyong agreed. I felt like I was dealing with a slick businessman who rarely revealed his true feelings.

At that time, I saw the saintess glancing in this direction. But the feeling was quite different.

[Huh?]

Have you seen Yongyong just now? But looking at the way he casually moves his gaze, it doesn’t seem like it.

“Do saints actually appear suddenly?”

“no.”

“then?”

“I guess you had a lot of questions for me? “Well, I’m naturally attracted to women who have a lot of secrets.”

And then she smiles, pretending to be seductive, but instead of being attracted to me, I feel like I want to drag her away.

[He has no idea that he could die right now!]

I have no intention of doing that. Anyway, since I’m a guest who came here and came with Franz, there’s no reason to treat him as an enemy.

Anyway, after exchanging a few words, we went inside and the president welcomed Franz and the saint.

I know that the Vatican has existed for a long time and has played a central role in Europe when dealing with monsters, but I felt that the treatment was extreme.

The saint won the president’s favor with natural Korean, as if such treatment was natural, and then handed him a personal letter from the pope.

The president accepted it with a smile, looked at Franz and the saint in turn, and began speaking.

“So, may I ask what brought you two all this way?”

“The reason we came here is because we wanted to ask the Korean government for something.”

“Hehe, if I had anything to ask for, I could have asked for it there. “I’m already worried because it seems like you’re about to ask for something difficult.”

The president was extremely stern and set up a smokescreen in advance.

“Even if it’s a little difficult, I think it’s a problem that can be easily solved if the President puts in some effort.”

The saintess passed it off without notice.

Again, the saint’s resourcefulness seemed considerable.

I feel like I’m looking at a businessman rather than a religious person.

The president was smiling, but he seemed to have been caught off guard.

“If the saint says so, then it must be so.”

“Thank you for your understanding. “The analysis that the Republic of Korea’s progress was due to the President’s ability was correct.”

“Thank you for your kind words.”

“I was just telling you what I thought.”

“….”

The saintess was handling the president so skillfully that I, who was watching quietly, wondered if she was using a spiritual gift. How much resourcefulness do you have to be able to cook something like that?

[It’s not normal.]

Even Yongyong, who has seen a lot about the human world, would say the same thing.

However, that only worked at the personnel stage, and once we got into the main topic, it started to get tense.

“What we want is information about the Plus Plus level Heavenly Demon Armor that Head Breaker, a superhuman from South Korea, hunted some time ago.”

“That has already been fully disclosed.”

“Yes, but after my own research, I thought there might be more information about plus-plus level monsters, so I came here to ask for it.”

The saintess’s smile deepened.

I wondered if the President was going to let things go like this, but what he said was unexpected.

“It’s impossible.”

“yes?”

“The reason is that the right to hunt belongs entirely to Choi Jun-ho.”

The saint’s smile cracked and her eyes turned to me.

Actually, I don’t have any thoughts.

“Can I ask for information about the Head Breaker Demon Armor?”

“why me?”

“Well, it’s clear that monsters like the Heavenly Demon Armor will threaten humanity in the future…”

“It would be enough for that information to have already been made public, right? “Any other information would be related to my personal life.”

“….”

The saint’s mouth closed. They were talking excitedly, but it was best to keep their mouths shut.

Franz just looked at me with a stern expression.

There’s something there.

Of course, I had no intention of matching the other person’s rhythm.

“It can be said that the two-horned monster is exactly as it was released in Korea. “If you want to know more than that, tell me your honest thoughts.”

Because I am still immature, I cannot clearly distinguish between truth and lies through intuition.

But I’m allergic to bullshit, so I can judge by that. If you see your hand trying to move out, most of it is bullshit. If you were to quantify the hit rate, wouldn’t it be 99.9%?

[Don’t you think about the 0.1% of innocent victims?]

He’s the one who made me feel bad anyway, so you can think of it as eliminating the regret. There are more cases where it becomes a hassle later than there is a chance of making a wrong decision.

[and! You really are an amazing person. But I’m also curious.]

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the saint. At that time, Franz, who had remained silent until now, clicked his tongue and intervened.

“So didn’t I tell you? “Headbreaker is not an easy opponent to deal with.”

“I see.”

After sighing, the saintess threw away the lightness she had felt a moment ago and politely asked me a favor.

“There are signs that plus-plus level monsters will appear in Europe. Our judgment is that we cannot deal with them with all our might right now. “Can you please help me?”

“Tell me what those signs are.”

I was curious as to what he was looking at to make that decision.

* * *

The Heavenly Demon Armor that I faced was a monster artificially created by the Chinese government. So, I don’t think it’s easy for it to occur artificially, but according to the saint, a two-horned monster can occur naturally.

The reason was as follows.

First, the monster ecosystem is undergoing continuous change due to the rise in human power. Monsters that adapted to this change gained greater power than before.

Second, it was a continuous battle. While dealing with monsters and humans in a harsh environment, the monsters began to learn various fighting methods.

Lastly, it is about learning how to handle human force. Although it is at a primitive level, monsters with a much stronger body and force have become stronger through this primitive form of force training.

“As the battle continued, not only humans became stronger. As humans become stronger, monsters also become stronger. And its combat ability improves in competition with other monsters. “As the process of restoring areas necessary for survival is repeated, the resistance of monsters is becoming stronger.”

“That sign suggests the appearance of a two-horned monster?”

“It was just a suspicion phase. “It was a prophecy that gave certainty here.”

The President and Cheon Myung-guk were shocked at the word prophecy. Looks like there’s something over there.

“This is not a prophecy to be ignored. “That prophecy has saved us from danger many times.”

Franz also added his words. That fueled my curiosity even more.

I asked the saint.

“Who gives that prophecy?”

“That’s…”

They were talking loudly until a little while ago, but then they quieted down. I became curious as to who the being pretending to be God who gave down the prophecy was.

Is this really God?

Oh, by the way, I am not an atheist. There would be nothing more strange than denying the existence of God after going crazy and returning to the past.

However, there is a question as to whether that God is truly omnipotent and omnipotent or as noble as human imagination.

“If it’s difficult to answer, you don’t have to. But the conversation will only progress if we can open up to each other.”

“….”

“It doesn’t have to be today. “Think about it slowly.”

“That’s it for today. “There will be many opportunities to talk in the future.”

Everyone nodded at the president’s words.

After the saint’s group returned, I went out to the Blue House yard and talked with Yongyong.

“What do you think it looks like?”

[The most likely one is Shinsu, but I’m not sure.]

“Why?”

[The Divine Beast is just one of many options. If we have evolved into a different form, I don’t think it would be strange if a transcendent being different from us appears.]

“So, does that mean God could exist?”

[It cannot be ruled out. But the possibility is low.]

Since Yongyong said that, I couldn’t tell which was true and which was false. It could be a monster pretending to be a divine beast, or it could be a being more transcendent than a divine beast.

Or maybe it’s something else that wants to pretend to be God.

“I wonder what it means for a god to give a prophecy rather than for a monster to appear naturally.”

[….]

Yongyong did not respond to my mutterings.

After completing the first day’s schedule and checking in at a hotel near the Blue House, Franz and the saint moved separately to evaluate the day’s events.

“It’s difficult.”

“Didn’t you say from the beginning that you weren’t an opponent for a trick? “This is a lot of growth.”

“Growth?”

“At least I didn’t use my hands first.”

“Is it that much?”

“He doesn’t just look good, but he’s a very cruel guy.”

During one visit, Franz listed the hardships Choi Jun-ho experienced.

The saintess, who had been listening with interest, nodded.

“I see. I understand after dealing with it. Headbreaker is a bomb that you never know when it will explode. “If I crossed the line just a little bit, my head would be crushed right away.”

“You take risks knowing that?”

“I was curious what kind of man he was.”

“So what do you think?”

“great. I understand why the league, which is said to be the best in the world, is not allowed to even come to East Asia. I became more certain after coming here. “You need the power of a head breaker.”

The saint’s blue eyes sparkled like jewels and then suddenly wavered. As the pupils contracted, blinking became more frequent.

Franz looked at that and shook his head.

“I know that this guy’s power is needed, but it was premature to reveal the existence of the prophecy.”

“It was going to be revealed anyway. “Then I think it’s right to make a deal with this.”

“Didn’t you fail in the end?”

“But we let Headbreaker know we don’t lie. “If we build trust like this, won’t we be able to exchange useful information?”

“That guy? “Well, that’s fine.”

Choi Jun-ho is extremely self-centered and acts as he pleases.

No matter how beautiful a saintly woman is or how superior her social status may be, he is not one to be swayed by it.

“Is it worth it? Even if you betray the will of your god?”

“Did you know?”

“I keep frowning, but I can’t do that unless I want to create wrinkles on purpose. “Are you taking care of your beauty to death because it’s competitive?”

“You can fool everyone else, but you won’t be able to fool Grandpa.”

“I have been watching you since I was at the Vatican. “Even if you fool the Pope, you can’t fool me.”

The saint sighed at Franz’s point. A dark shadow that had never been seen before appeared on her face.

No, it must have been something I tried hard to hide until now.

“My God tells me not to compromise with the headbreaker. “I tell you to kill them by any means necessary.”

“Even God?”

Franz does not know whether the being called God is really God. However, the ability close to omnipotence was real. Thanks to its presence, we were able to overcome many crises and prepare for upcoming disasters.

God is very interested in the human world, but does not care about humans.

That was a rule that never changed.

Even a god like that tells me to kill Choi Jun-ho.

I felt that something huge was happening.

The saint smiled.

“are you okay. “He whispered to me several times, but I ignored them all.”

“Is that okay?”

“There will definitely be a penalty. But I didn’t come into this world to be swayed by God’s will. “I think that building friendships with headbreakers rather than antagonizing them can produce more constructive results.”

He is a person who hunts monsters of the Plus Plus stage alone. The saint was curious about Choi Jun-ho’s abnormal strength, a strength that made even God tremble with anxiety.

Franz also decided that it was wrong to be hostile to Choi Jun-ho and supported the saint.

“I hope you’re right. “I will be there to help you too.”

“thank you. Then continue like this… Ah! iced coffee!”

The brightly smiling saint’s eyes turned red and blood began to flow.

Franz helped the startled, staggering saint.

“Alessia!”

“are you okay. It’s just the price you pay for not listening to God. “I offended the person serving me, so I have to endure this.”

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, it’s okay. You will understand me later.”

Even while shedding bloody tears, the saint smiled brightly as if to reassure Franz.
