The Hero Became Obsessed With The Villain [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 238: Ranking

Seo-eun, our Ego Stream's information communication and hacking expert responsible for creating all kinds of tools for us.

Now, she's just our adorable youngest member of Ego Stream, but in the original work, she was quite different.

In the original story, her image was a very cold and cynical antagonist. She was quite tall, and unlike her current short haircut, she had long hair.

Because her first appearance in the original work was several years after the current point in the story, her adult form couldn't be avoided. With her hacking abilities already at their peak, she managed to infiltrate the Villain Penitentiary, orchestrate a mass jailbreak, and show up with dozens of mechs.

Especially the jailbreak event, which in the original story involved all the villains introduced up until that point showing their faces again, might have felt like an all-star showdown to the readers, but to Stardus, which had to deal with it all, it was nothing but a catastrophe.

...Of course, the current Seo-eun is quite different from her gloomy appearance in the original story.

"Huh? What's wrong, Da-in?"

"Oh, it's nothing. You did a great job."

"Hehe"

I said so, patting her head, and she chuckled involuntarily.

Oh, right. I told her not to do that just a moment ago.

But well, now that we're here, it's not a big deal. I thought as I gazed at the massive combat robot created by Seo-eun.

Its surface was smooth, gleaming with a bright white color. Seo-eun named it the Star Conqueror.

Indeed, this introduction by Seo-eun, which she seemed so proud of, marked the beginning of my concerns. It was just that this resembled too much the combat mech Seo-eun used to send into battle when she was an S-class villain in the original work.

Of course, there were some differences from the original appearance. In the original work, it was a bit more polished than this, bigger, and had more functions. It had even gone through mass production.

Still, the overall appearance was strikingly similar, and that was a bit unsettling. Besides, the fact that she had already created this at the current point in the story was impressive. She seemed to be in a better mood than she was in the original work, and we had our Ego Stream comrades, which might explain it. It even felt like she was smarter than in the original work. Perhaps there's more room for growth.

"Da-in, is something wrong?"

As I was quietly pondering while looking at the robot, Seo-eun noticed something was amiss and grabbed my sleeve, asking with a worried look.

...Yeah, the current Seo-eun is different from the Seo-eun in the original work, so there's no need to worry. We have a family now. We've already spent three years together. It's different from the original work.

So, I smiled a little and told Seo-eun that nothing was wrong as if to reassure her.

"Oh, it's nothing. I got lost in thought for a moment. Now, can you introduce this to me?"

"Sure, Da-in. Look at this. I made this with Sehee..."

With Seo-eun brimming with excitement, I followed her and approached the machine... No, the more I look at it, the more astonishing it becomes. How can something like this even be made?

But anyway, I nodded in encouragement to Seo-eun, who believed that this would be enough to defeat Stardus. ...In the original work, Stardus ended up destroying the robot Seo-eun created, so let's pretend not to know about that.
