Chapter 403:

Chapter 403:

Ever since the Association and Cathedral united against the Sun God, the world, terrorized by the god's declaration of destruction, has been relatively quiet.

...Of course, I knew it wouldn't be the whole story.

"From now on, we must be vigilant in our defenses."

~A few days after my speech at the first joint Association-Cathedral meeting~

At this conference held in the United States, on the left side of the table, people from the Association sit side by side, and on the right side, people from Cathedral sit side by side.

The Association’s president and Celeste were in attendance, as well as all the major heroes, including Stardus, and major villains, such as Atlas.

I pointed to the wall and said.

"According to the records I've interpreted from the Sun God's remains, when the Sun God is angered, angels descend from the heavens and power surges. Perhaps this is what is about to happen."

My new favorite concept it’s pretending to be an intellectual who knows the secrets of the world.

...It's not really a concept, it's the truth, but I created it because I can't say, "This world is actually a comic book and I've read it.”

"...Angels coming down from the sky. That's a little hard to believe."

"Unfortunately, it's true. In fact, didn't I already take one angel with me?"

"Wasn't that a fabrication?"

"...It was one hundred percent real."

I said after sighing at the doubting rector.

I'm already having a hard enough time worrying about Stardus and Celeste, who are already tearing each other apart, and this is the last thing I need.

Anyway, I didn't pay much attention to the suspicious glances.

The truth would come out in time anyway.

~A few days later~

[Sob, sob, sob, breaking news!!! Monsters in the guise of angels are currently invading the world from the skies!!! People, wake up and get to safety now!!!]

As I foretold.

Indeed, one day, angels began to descend from the sky.

They had silver hair with golden touches, white robes and wings but were killing machines in angelic disguises.

...In the original, their drops were already devastating, thanks to the raids of the Cathedral and the chaos of anarchy but not now.

"Hah! These are weaker than I thought, aren't they?"

~A city in Gyeonggi Province~

That's where Electra, who had suddenly descended from the clouds and electrocuted all of the angels, Choi Se-hee smirked and muttered,

It was a city that would fall to an angel attack but the angels disappeared in a flash of light from Electra's counterattack.

"So, how's it going?"

"Uh, everything...Egostic!"

And seeing her do so with such glee, I dropped down beside her, cloak fluttering.

"What brings you here?"

"I came by to take care of some business."

"Mm-hmm. You don't have to worry about this place. I got this!"

Choi Se-hee flips her orange hair and throws a baton at me.

She was right.

After the angelic onslaught began, I sent my Egostream members out in all directions, one at a time, to cover the entire country.

In effect, they are the Korean National Guard.

...I do feel sorry for her.

"Come on. Do you want some ice cream?"

"Ugh. Put it in my mouth."

"Eh..."

Like a carrot to a rabbit, I put the hard candy in Seo Ja-young's mouth and turned on the TV.

The news was on immediately, given the current situation.

And just then, the Stardus news was on.

[And the latest news from overseas, Stardus, the S-class hero of Korea, is currently defeating the angels.]

[Yes, that's right. As you can see in the video, the angels are vaporized by the lights around her before she can even raise her fist. She's the natural enemy of the angels, and overseas, they're saying that she's the hope of humanity...]

"Hmm..."

I smirked as I watched the broadcast.

Yeah. It's going well.

Lately, Stardus has been traveling around the world, dealing with angels from other countries. I sent her out of Korea, saying we were enough to raise some awareness.

Anyway, it's working out as planned. That's good.

We'll just keep going and Stardus will naturally give everyone hope.

Because I feel like lately...no matter how society is doing, I can't help but feel a general sense of gloom.

Everyone's uneasy, even if they pretend not to be, in the face of the predicted divine invasion.

We'll just have to keep them placated for the rest of the time, and hold out until the day of destruction.

[Hence Stardus' current popularity...]

"Hmm. I'm good at catching angels."

As I was watching the TV like that, Choi Se-hee, who had raised her head from the couch, saw that and said so in a slightly rumbling voice.

...I should probably change the channel before she gets angry.

"That's right. You're good with lightning, aren't you?"

As I was casually changing the channel, Choi Se-hee muttered as if she was suddenly curious.

"By the way, when I saw the angels for the first time, I was fascinated because they looked a little fierce...Why are they actually weaker than I thought?"

She asks curiously.

At that, I turned my head and looked toward the kitchen.

A woman with blonde hair and white wings was smiling and washing dishes next to Soobin.

I looked at Halo, smiled inwardly, and silently thought.

‘Why? Because I kidnapped the boss of the angels.’

In the original, apparently, the chain of command would have belonged to the first angel down, but I took control of her, though I don't know if I forfeited other powers when I took control, or if I lost control of the other angels through Halo.

"...Well, whatever."

Enough with the angels.

We're running out of time, so we'll just have to move on.

With that thought, I got up from my seat.

I'll see Eun-woo, process the moonlight stone...and so on.

By now, two months had passed since the Sun God's declaration of destruction.
