EP.80 Premonition of Doom
If you really think about this world, it’s a damn world.
I thought of that as I looked out the window and looked down at the cities.
Outwardly, it looks normal. Thousands of people busily moving through the tall buildings. Looking at it this way, it seems as if there is no difference at all from the world I lived in in my previous life.
However, the reality is very different. Mainly on the crazy side.
First of all, people who awaken their superpowers from time to time are born. But I don’t know if this superpower is an appropriate ability. The problem is that all the damn strong guys come out.
Right now, even with Stardus, if I put your mind to it, I can destroy dozens of buildings. So can the others. If you go abroad there, it’s even more dogged. It is safe to say that almost all countries face the crisis of extinction every month.
of course, the world
Thanks to the balance, the heroes who are stronger than most villains are rolling out somehow. In other words, without heroes, countries would
Stand no chance. As a result, it is a world where the influence of the government is greatly reduced compared to the association. Even the president is a bit paranoid.
The problems are not just the villains. That’s not the only thing. As you can see if you look at the Haneun Group, large corporations just ran around. The secret experiment is basic, and the rival company, Yoosung Corporation
It is a black screen that controls the Republic of Korea from behind by putting pressure on the government and associations. After the collapse of the Haneun Group, they must be trying to eat Korea in earnest.
Well, for me, it’s more profitable to do that. In that case, Lee Seol-ah can only control one thing.
Anyways, I want to say that this world is not normal: People with superpowers start terrorism, the government does not play a role and corporations control the government.

Besides, there are even gods and the afterlife, and it’s not just a riot. I miss the peaceful old world.
“…”
I still looked out the window and thought.
What’s funnier? Right now, it’s very peaceful.
Soon there will be more and more powerful villains, and the world is getting more and more chaotic
And Stardus alone, she’ll have to bear all of that.
“Oppa, what the hell are you looking at alone?”
“…No. Let’s go now.”
I finally woke up from my thoughts at the words of Seo-Eun-i coming from the side, and turned my head again.
okay.
In the end, I have to stop all of this.
***
The manga I possessed, [Stardust!], is divided into four major phases at random by the fans.
Phase 1 of Stardus’ growth and a bit of everyday development. This is roughly the time now, and it is the most peaceful time.
And phase 2 unfolds in earnest after the Haneun Group incident. From this point on, more and more villains start to come out with stronger abilities.
And the event that the fans called the start of Phase 2, and the event that nailed the fact that this worldview was actually a waste.
That is the case of the Haneun Group’s invasion of Seoul.
People who are dying that cannot be compared to the previous Behemoth crisis, Stardus suffering from a sense of helplessness and remorse for not being able to stop it, creaking associations and governments, and a burning Seoul.
A terrifying incident in which Korea is shattered as a scourge of what the heroes have done so far covers the whole country!
A city that is becoming a big fan! Shattered buildings and humans! forest fires!
by the way…
Does that mean I know it’s going to happen?
Haneun Group You are f*cked, kids.
Exciting revenge for the heroes in the original, fierce oxidation?
There is no such thing, Sunwoo!!
“Huh huh huh.”
“Dain, you can’t do this because there are a lot of people…”
“brother…”
“Is he like this often?”
“brother…?”
On the way down to the observation deck.
Unknowingly, I smiled an evil smile, and the group’s scolding continued.
They’re all saying you’re fine.
“…when you laugh like that, you’re plotting something evil again.”
Only Seo-Eun-i, who had been watching me for a long time, muttered from the side with a dissatisfied expression.
It’s not evil, I’m trying to save mankind, but I’m going to die of unfairness.
Of course, for the children of the Haneun group, led by Kim Seon-woo, it would be a terrifying thing to say.
***
Haneun Group.
The best conglomerates in Korea were conspiring to dominate the Republic of Korea by force behind the scenes while making an externally friendly image.
They were secretly conducting illegal and impersonal human experiments and monster creation, and all the conspiracies were uncovered through the Behemoth Incident.
As a result, the company went bankrupt and senior executives including the chairman fled abroad, but the researchers who conducted the experiment led by Dr. Kim Seon-woo did not escape.
In the original story, Kim Seon-woo seized the Behemoth and tried to fight Stardus, but in the end he was defeated and escaped.
In the end, the staff, led by him, realize that they are over, and they make one last big blow before everything is about to die, and they make a plan to see them all die together.
That’s the Haneun Group’s invasion of Seoul.
And the way they chose to make Seoul a sea of fire.
It was a huge weapon.
***
“So. In the near future, the Haneun Group will invade Seoul with a giant robot at night as a last resort?”
“It’s not a robot, it’s a weapon, anyway. Yeah.”
“…..”
The Ego-Underground Base’s conference room.
Seo-Eun-i, Soobin, and the newly joined Choi Se-hee and Ha-Yul. At the place where everyone gathered, I brought up the conversation.
“…how about a giant weapon, specifically?”
“Like a huge mountain range, it has the feel of an octopus, its body is made up of hemispheres and it has long steel limbs attached to it…”
“No, wait, wait.”
Choi Se-hee, who was listening to me, stopped talking and asked me with a look of absurdity.
“A giant weapon is going to invade Seoul soon? How do you know that?”
“I know everything except what I don’t know.”
“No. What is that…”
Choi Se-hee raised her eyes and looked at me as if embarrassed, but I just smiled.
It is said that men with many secrets are attractive. maybe.
“Anyway, our plan is to take that giant weapon.”
“That? How?”
“What do you do? Just teleport to the control panel, beat up all the kids, and we’re done, and it’s over.”
“Is that going to be that easy?”
“What else is difficult?”
Just as humans die when their brain dies, when the cockpit of a giant weapon is removed, it is the end.
“…But didn’t they know in advance and prepare for it?”
“Of course, they knew.”
To be precise, they were prepared for Shadowwalker that could teleport anywhere for a limited time in the evening.
They just coated it with a substance against darkness extracted from Behemoth to prevent it from coming in.
Let me explain this, Choi Se-hee, who is puzzled.
“…You? Are you teleporting?”
“Me? Of course, I wouldn’t even consider it.”
“Why?”
“Yeah, I’m not a hero, I’m just a villain…?”
“Ah.”
It sounded like an idiot, as if she had just realized it. No, what are you looking at me for?
“Dain. But how powerful is that machine? Can’t we just fire a few bombs?”
“No.”
I shook my head in denial.
that’s just sick
not. In the original version, it is quite overwhelming, and the overwhelming size that makes the viewer say, ‘I can’t stop that’.
It’s a wonderful thing that doesn’t get scratched no matter what you shoot.
It’s not for nothing that he was called the final boss of Phase 1 in the original. Is it just overwhelming? It’s incomparable to what Stardus has faced up to this point. Truly the ultimate king.
In the end, even Stardus couldn’t take it down and gave up.
After explaining to everyone how strong, overwhelming, and marvelous this is, I ended with one sentence.
“And that, I’m just going to gulp.”
As I said that, I smiled an evil smile involuntarily.
okay. What was my goal in this world?
Let’s give Stardus only trials that she can handle.
And this is definitely not something she can handle.
then.
Wouldn’t it be okay if I could transform it into an ordeal that she handle?
“It’ll probably happen this week, so let’s all prepare in advance. Especially Choi Se-hee, you’re going with me.”
Having said that, I made a plan.
A perfect chance to finish the Haneun Group and grow Starrs.
Especially the Haneun group guys including Kim Seon-woo.
I’m really curious what their expression will look like if what they had prepared like that was ruined like a dog.
Huh ha ha ha ha.
****
Somewhere deep in the fat.
Haneun Group Secret Base Sector C.
In the midst of an unfathomably deep underground, a large number of people were busy moving.
Everyone was skinny because of the bruised bones, and it was hard to say that they couldn’t even wash themselves.
Their eyes are burning with a tangible poison.
While they were so busy in their white robes, a man was walking across them and heading somewhere.
He seems to be the oldest of these.
The most tiring of them all.
His eyes are the best, and he is a man who burns with poison that can bite anyone.
He was the general manager of the Haneun Group Behemoth Project.
I’m overwhelmed by the board of directors, and I’m staying in Korea.
Dr. Seon-Woo Kim.
He spat out words to the researcher who was busily following him.
“So. Did you finish the final inspection?”
“Okay, Doctor. All we have to do now is sorted.”
“I see.”
The place he arrived after walking like that.
An empty public hall of overwhelming size that looks as if a huge city was turned vertically and put underground.
And, filling it up.
The length is several times that of a skyscraper, and the width is like a huge mountain range.
The last masterpiece created only for destruction, collapse, and chaos, the Haneun Group grinded their last flame.
It was a weapon made for destruction, the Project Octopass.
“Yeah… Finally. It’s finally made.”
Seeing this, Seon-woo Kim clenched his teeth and muttered.
Then, unable to control his excitement, he immediately shouted at the entire staff.
“Listen to all staff!!!”
A destructive voice that fills this spacious auditorium.
The researcher who was next to him hurriedly set up a microphone next to him, and his voice went out to the entire area of the facility.
His voice echoed in the basement.
“How much sacrifice we have made so far for the Bank of Korea and for the development of the country!”
“Only the people who criticize and condemn us for our dedication to a better world! What the hell have you done for this country!”
“How much oppression and purging of us who tried to re-create human history through evolution!”
“This rotten country is no longer needed!”
“Now we! Create this hateful country with our own hands! Isn’t it our last calling to make a sea of fire!”
“WE ARE THE TOMORROW!”
He uttered his last words, chewing it with his burning eyes.
“DESTROY SEOUL!
When his speech was over, cheers echoed around him. tuning. sea of fire. fall. anger.
Amid all that noise, he quietly closed his eyes.
okay. right tomorrow.
Seoul will only know what the end is in his grasp.

“So, what’s your plan to rob that weapon?”
“Go to the cockpit and puck the crock pot with the monkey wrench. It’s over. Then it’s ours now.”
“…so easy?”
“Uh.”
That’s easy, right?
Is that a monogatari reference I’m seeing?
