Chapter 402:

In the face of the world’s impending destruction by the god, the swiftly announced alliance resolution between the Association and the Cathedral was shared with everyone.

The Association response came within a short period of time after God's declaration of destruction, and the public, which had been on edge, was quickly calmed by my speech.

...Of course, there was a faction of the populace that was ecstatic that I was on the air again.

[Mango <<<<< Just a god? Massive props, lol]

[Honestly, isn't the Sun God < just going to get ^dicked^ by Mango? lol]

[(Hands on conscience) Only people who were fucking anxious and then calmed down as soon as they saw Egostic on the air]

[(Personal opinion) When did South Korea change its name to the Republic of Mango? I seriously don't know.]

[Sun God suddenly looks like shit after watching Egostic broadcast.]

[Sun God. Honestly, isn't the name crappy? There are several stars in the universe, but one sun?]

[[Summary] The events that could happen after the Association X Cathedral collaboration...list]

[The most anticipated event after the Association–Cathedral alliance is this]

"....."

After my speech to the world I went over a few more points of agreement with the President of the Association, and then took a break and sighed when I saw a message from Seo-Eun.

‘You're broadcasting so well that it's making a fuss~' is nice, but why does she always have to bring up my fan cafe situation...

Well, I'm the one who checks it every time.

Even as I thought this, I clicked on the last post of the link, as if I were mesmerized.

[This is the event I'm most looking forward to after the Association Cathedral Alliance.]

*

So what happened to the "Hero-Villain relationships are impossible!!" cries from the non-Ego-star faction? In the end, the world didn't perish, but the ones pushing for other pairings did, lol.

Let's have a drink to the victorious Egostars~!

[Man, that was epic, lolololol]

[Now that I think about it, you're right, lol. It all comes back to the main couple, haha.]

[We are living in the era of mango flavored stardus]

[No no no~ Association and Cathedral’s cooperation? It's impossible not to come into contact with Icicle, the de facto ruler of Korea. In the end, it's IceMango who laughs at the end.]

"...Haha."

Why did I press this?

‘...Well. Is it good that they're still talking about this, because it's positive, when God is about to destroy the world?’

I don't know.

Anyway, with that thought, I put my phone back in my pants.

Anyway, the fire was out.

Now the world won't descend into anarchy as the panicked masses rise up en masse like in the original.

Maybe a few would, but the governments would wake up, and we'd just have to tighten up security and catch them.

‘...The fire is out, for now.’

I greet her with a smile, and she smiles back.

...She probably smiled unconsciously, but she quickly stiffened her face as she realized what was happening.

There was a gasp from the surroundings already.

"Now that I think about it, it's legal..."

"I see, you two always had that kind of relationship..."

...It sounds like they're also saying something strange.

Is this the only kind of people in the association, or do they only come here to sell hero villains?

Anyway, I decided that I'd make more noise if I stayed here, so I walked straight to her, ignoring the oohs and ahhs around me.

"Gentlemen, if you'll excuse me."

With that, I grabbed Stardus' hand and teleported away.

...If I thought I saw her smile one last time, I was mistaken.

***

Meeting her once more in her office behind closed doors, I smiled and asked her.

"Stardus, how are you?"

She smiles and sighs, then sits down across the desk in front of me.

I'd already told her this was going to happen today, so she didn't panic, and she spoke to me calmly.

"...As you said, I've put everything on emergency alert with the president. All the heroes are on standby, and the government will probably declare martial law soon...For the time being, we should be fine."

"Good work."

"More than that, there's something I wanted to tell you..."

Stardus said, and then proceeded to tell me about her meeting with the Star God.

How she was the savior of mankind, the one who would stop the Sun God, how there were gods in this world...

I already knew the story, but I listened anyway. Well, there's no difference in the words from the original.

...The only difference was that Stardus said that the Star God smiled as she spoke...That was definitely a difference from the original. In the original, she was sullen and apologized to Stardus.

Perhaps, things have changed thanks to me.

...Now that I think about it, it's kind of embarrassing. That's a smile you got from selling me.

‘Yeah...’

Well. I saved the world for Stardus, not for the Star God, so it didn't matter.

Anyway, as she spoke in a small voice, I gave her a look of disbelief and said.

"...I see, the gods are discerning."

"I don't know. I'm still in a bit of a daze...I wonder if I'll be any good."

She says that with a slightly bitter smile.

Hearing the unspoken words, I quickly grabbed her hand and said.

"No, Stardus, you can do it....Didn't I tell you, you always, always can."

"Egotistic..."

"So, don't worry too much. I'll help you."

"Yeah..."

Seeing Stardus face, which seemed to perk up slightly at my words, I smiled.

In time, her strength will grow stronger. By then, I won't have to worry about her.

After all, she defeated the Sun God in the original story.

Anyway, Stardus seems to be safe.

Now, let's get down to business.

‘...It’s time to talk about how we’ll defend the Sun God.’

I thought to myself silently and smiled wickedly.

The warm gifts I had prepared to greet the Sun God were just the beginning.
