67 – First Mission 5
The situation unfolded right in front of your eyes.
As he watched the flying bullets stop in the air, a chilling sensation instantly began to emerge in Tantalus’ head.
‘Stand.. No way!’
One memory passed through his mind.
Despite being in a not low position as a squad leader in the Villains Union, memories that put pressure on the stomach just by thinking about it.
Feeling it constricting his brain,
Tantalus slowly turned his head as it was.
But right after that.
The person he sees is…
‘What.. What.. You’re just a kid..’
What she saw before her eyes was a little child who looked much younger than the woman lying in front of her and hadn’t taken off her boyhood yet.
A person who is quite different from the person he thought he was in terms of age.
But…
Nevertheless, for some reason, Tantalus could not suppress the feeling of anxiety that was wriggling deep in his heart at this moment.
‘Uh.. Why? Why… Why does that little guy think of his image… Of Lord Hades?’
Hades, the commander of the corps, had given him a terrible defeat and hell in the past.
There was not a single villain who did not know that he had already left this world, and Tantalus had always been convinced that no one could strike fear into his mind.
But…
At this moment,
The boy in front of him was tying up his feelings…
Then, the boy looked at Tantalus and said in a chilling voice…
I spoke to him in a voice that reminded me of Hades.
“I never thought it would fall to such a miserable level.. This is a very rare scene.”
“… You… You… Who are you! Dae.. What the hell is your identity?”
Trembling in fear, Tantalus aims his gun at the boy who is approaching in front of him.
But…
Seeing him like this, the boy showed no signs of fear and replied with a small sigh.
“Haa.. Well, you don’t need to know the details.”
With those words, the boy lightly stretched out his hand toward Tantalus.
Right after that…
“!
Sudden, familiar pain.
At this, Tantanros fell to the floor groaning in pain.
Looking at him like that, the boy said in a cold voice.
“From now on, answer the questions I ask. If you speak honestly and obediently, it will end without pain.. Otherwise, you will be taken to the Hero Association in a very painful but mental state.”
Huh..”
With the boy’s words, the pain faded in an instant.
While experiencing the feeling of being rescued after falling into hell for an instant…
At the same time, while feeling more doubt about the identity of this boy in front of me.
Tantalus couldn’t help but wait for the boy’s question with fearful eyes.
“Then, the first question.. How is the power structure of the villains going? As far as I know, it seems that the forces led by Hera and Poseidon and the forces led by Zeus are fighting bitterly with each other?”
“That… That’s… “
A boy’s question that points out the situation quite accurately.
At this, Tantalus began to answer his question in a trembling voice.
“That… Yeah.. Right.. G.. Things are going that way now.. Ha.. But not everyone is following those two forces.”
“Don’t be nervous and talk calmly. It’s hard to understand.”
Tantalus forcibly suppresses his emotions at the boy’s words.
Then he continued his words in a much calmer voice than before.
“Right now… The forces of the villains are largely divided into three categories. Two of them.. Hera and Zeus you mentioned.. And the other one is a third force like me that does not belong to either side.”
“Three powers?.. Who is their leader?”
“..There is no leader.. However, nominally, we are Gaia-sama, whose whereabouts are still unknown… And in him.. The spiritual leader also believes.”
“..He?”
A boy’s question full of doubts.
Regarding this, Tantalus naturally began to have a subtle feeling about whether it was okay to say this to the boy in front of him, but…
I spoke to him while clearing his mind.
“This is Hades..”
“… What?”
A boy with a slightly bewildered expression for a moment.
Actually, depending on what you think, unlike Gaia, who has the possibility of returning someday. It was also normal that talking about someone who had already died was considered quite strange.
However, since he was a boy who somehow gave off a similar feeling to Hades, Tantalus continued to talk while feeling a bit complicated by the boy’s reaction.
“It might be considered funny… However, there are quite a lot of people who follow him not only among us, but also within the power of Hera and Zeus. If it wasn’t for him… This great division wouldn’t have happened. If it weren’t for the atrocities of those foolish elders and some corps commanders, this terrible difficulty would not have occurred.”
“….”:
A boy who seems to be speechless for a moment at Tantalus’s words.
Seeing him like this, Tantalus began to have deep doubts in his heart, along with a strange feeling that grew stronger and stronger.

“Good job. Then let us take charge from here.”
After the situation is over, the heroes and police lead off the villains, including Tantalus.
Looking at them, Shin Hye Choi, standing next to me, began to stretch her cheerfully.
“Ummm.. Nice, I did one thing with this!”
“Hey.. Anyway, a colleague was hurt, but isn’t that reaction a little too much?”
“… Well, with that much of a wound… The doctor just before said he was fine, and he himself said he was fine, so he went back to his feet.”
“Yeah.. That’s true, but.”
Certainly, just as Shin-hye said, her younger self went home on her own feet, recovering neatly with only light emergency measures.
Although fragments of a grenade were lodged in it, it was fortunate that it was minor, and it was a level that could be recovered in about 30 minutes through medical technology.
Although it bothered me that the atmosphere was strangely gloomy, at one point she said she was okay, there was no room for concern anymore.
‘Yeah, but somehow, it seems like you’re liking it a little… Is it that Lee Ha-na doesn’t like it that much?’
Looking at Choi Shin-hye’s lighthearted side like that, I started to think that the two of them had a really long way to go before they could get even a little closer.
‘Yuri and Minerva get along well… Why are these guys like this?’
Of course, the situation is different in many ways, but as it is a woman-to-woman relationship, it is inevitable that comparisons are natural.
Anyway, right after I finished my mission like that, I was about to head back home leisurely.
There was something to think about about Tantalus’ words,
Moreover, it made me think that if it was too late on a day like today, our scary sister might get angry.
But…
“Hey, hold on.”
“Huh?”
Choi Choi Hye-hye suddenly called and stopped me.
So I looked at her with a slightly annoyed expression on her face…
From noble mtl dot com
Continuing, Shinhye turned her head slightly with her face slightly reddened and said.
“I.. I mean… if it’s alright, to celebrate the success of the mission… Would you like to have a meal with me?”
“….”
Shin-hye speaks in one voice, as if she was shaking a little too much.
However, I told her about this, shaking her head slightly.
“Haa.. I’m sorry, but that’s impossible. It’s already too late, so if you do something wrong, you might get scolded by the scary older sister.”
“That… That’s okay. Because I already contacted you.”
“What… ?”
“Now.. Here is the text..”
“… “
Shinhye holding out her phone with a slightly nervous expression
The next moment, my eyes clearly saw the 7th place.. I began to see text messages from Han Soo-young.
‘..No… Did you really get permission?.. This guy… If true, he’s more fearless than I thought.’
Still, I thought just in case, so I put in a call to my sister to check.
And right after that… What I hear in my ears is…
– “Yes, have a good date. But if it’s too late, call me.” –
“… “
My sister’s act of cutting off the confirmation stamp in such a cheerful way.
So, I came to realize that if I did this, the reverse hole would disappear.
“You’re going… are you?”
“… Ha ha.. Well.. I can’t help it if I even got permission.”

Tantalus in a vehicle while being restrained.
However, this moment when you should be caught in deep despair.
In his head, rather, it was going back very quickly for a different reason than before.
‘… Similar abilities and signs similar to Hades-sama’s… And such a reaction… Could this little guy… Have something to do with Hades-sama?’
The image of the boy hero that never left his mind.
The ability he used was obviously the same scalar conversion as Hades, and the method was also quite similar.
A familiar presence that stimulates the intuition that is decisively felt by the boy..
At this, a fact began to automatically appear in Tantalus’ mind.
‘Could it be… That boy is… The hidden child of Lord Hades?’
