Now that I have reached the Final Phase, I know what I must do.

That is to stop the Sun God from finally descending on this world.

If I can stop him, then I will truly have a happy ending, a happy ending that I didn't see in the original manga.

Of course, that wasn't all I had to do. There were many other things to do and some of them, of course, were to eliminate other villains, especially those who had become particularly powerful after the inflation.

'...Now it feels like I'm holding a real, ticking time bomb in my hands.'

There was one reason I felt particularly uneasy.

All of the villains have gotten stronger, and each terrorist attack they unleash is so threatening. If I don't stop their first attack, the death toll could be really high.

In other words, I was destined to stop them as soon as they started.

'...That's a good thing.'


Of course, there were also good news.


For one thing, Shadow Walker is alive now.

Unlike in the original, where he lost his girlfriend, went a little crazy, and then blackened and disappeared, in this world, I saved his girlfriend, and he managed to marry her.

In other words, unlike the original, he's still working at night.

This means that Stardus no longer has to live in fear of nightly attacks that keep her awake at night...What a relief.

...Of course, this does mean that the villains who terrorized at night in the original will no longer do so, which is a story twist from the original, but it's a trade-off I can live with, especially considering how much stronger Shadow Walker, who was invulnerable at night anyway, have become since the inflation...I can't deny it's been a huge boost to my power.

Regardless, it was clear what was going to happen next.

I had to get rid of one of the villains that would be coming soon, the Reaper.

He wears a mask like mine, and he's quite powerful.

His special ability is Berserk. His body transforms into a beast, his hands into long knives, and he specializes in mass destruction.

He was also a hedonistic psychopath, a rarity among villains.

If there are villains who have an ideology and will do whatever it takes to fulfill their goals, he's a disgusting man who takes pleasure in just killing people.

He's slaughtered hundreds of people since his first appearance, and fled before Stardus even arrived.

...Actually, up until that point, he seemed like a pretty normal villain. Well. Killing hundreds of people was commonplace in the original, a world without dreams or hope but the real trouble comes after his first attack, when he realized that he has another ability, alter ego.

"....."

The ability to summon up to five alter egos, each with the same powers as his own body, only less intelligent.

Even if one of them dies after being dispatched, with a snap of his fingers, he can make it reappear in front of his body.

...A seemingly simple yet powerful ability for a mid-level boss, it has led to the deaths of many commoners. The worst part is that it's impossible to find him. The main body is hiding somewhere underground, and he keeps sending out alter egos, leaving the Association helpless.
