It's been a while since the inflation crisis.

In the meantime, Cathedral has been growing at a frightening rate.

[BREAKING NEWS: The French Association is now overrun by Cathedral, and all of Europe is on high alert! The head villain of Cathedral's UK branch is demanding surrender, saying, "We want peaceful conquest."]

[Experts believe that the conquest of the French Association is due to the cooperation between the French and British Villains. The collaboration between the Villains through Cathedral has given them a much stronger power than before, which the Association did not expect...]

[On the Asian side of the world, Cathedral's expansion is also frightening, with local authorities reporting that the number of Villains joining Cathedral in Southeast Asia has increased so rapidly that the government is in turmoil. So far, the International Hero Association headquarters has been unable to come up with any clear countermeasures, making the issue even more controversial...]

The perfect counterpart to the International Association of Heroes is the International Villains Association.

Unlike the Hero Society, which aims to keep the peace, the Villain Society, which aims to conquer, is growing at a more frightening rate than ever before.

"I guess you could say it's the rise of a new force..."

On my laptop, an internal network of progress is shared amongst the members of the Cathedral.

I muttered that as I watched Cathedral running in real time.

In fact, just like in the original work, Cathedral was fine up to this point.

Unlike the motley crew of villains, the Villainous Alliance had a clear goal.

Whether it was their own country or the oceans, their goal was to conquer rather than destroy. Like China and Japan, which the Villains actually succeeded in conquering.

...The problem, of course, was that China and Japan already had corrupt governments, so it was effectively a coup...The problem with other countries was that they were trying to overthrow the government and eat the country, even though the government was fine.

'But now things are different.'

...governments and associations in every country have, in effect, gone bad.

The powers are getting stronger and stronger, and there are more villains than heroes.

It's always been a world with more villains than heroes, but now it's more polarized.

So much so, in fact, that the strongest villains are better able to manage the others...The world has begun to tilt toward the logic of power.

In other words, perhaps security itself would be better in a country conquered by Cathedral. After all, the China and Japan that Li Xiaofeng and Katana ate had pretty good security, and there were more villains in the Villainous Alliance than there were heroes in the Association.

Of course, if they lost control, there was no answer...

On the contrary, it was an opportunity.

I could use Cathedral to change the course of world events.

"...Whew."

I'm doing all this to prevent destruction, but I can't have the world ending before the Sun God descends.

First, I need to seduce Celeste...Before I can convince her, I need to try this.

"It just so happens that there's a Cathedral meeting coming up..."
