Since the reorganization of Cathedral to take over the world, the frequency of conferences has seriously shortened.

It feels like almost every week now, compared to every three months or so before.

Of course, unlike before, it wasn't mandatory to attend every meeting, but with all the support-related content and advanced information being shared, everyone tended to attend anyway.

And then, as usual, at the open meeting, when the world was buzzing about Stardus' power.

Naturally, I participated, as usual.

"....."

...I honestly thought that no matter how powerful she was, no one would pay much attention to her because she was a hero from another country, didn't they?

I guess not. The same villains would have known Castrum better since they were in the same country. The European branch of Cathedral also pressured me, and the way the European villains are looking at me is especially strange.

I'm sure it's because they're finally realizing the implications of me taking on Stardus alone.

...Actually, it's not that I'm strong, it's that I was able to deal with her for a long time because I never really engaged with her and just bounced around quickly. What? Didn't they say that the person who survived was the strong one? So, it is true that I am also strong.

But I wonder how they'll react when they find out Stardus likes me.

"....."

Just as I was thinking that.

"Hey, everybody's here."

Celeste, who had arrived a little late today, spoke up in a mysterious voice that sounded like she was singing.

The atmosphere in the room quieted down a bit, and the meeting began in earnest.

"...Today, we will review your activities so far, and decide on the way forward."

Celeste led the meeting with these words.

The concept of this meeting was that everyone would say a few words about what they had done so far and how they would move forward.

...Actually, the invitation said so, so everyone should have been prepared.

The meeting started like this.

"I'll start with me: I, Celeste, am the leader of Aetheria, and we now have over 90% of the leadership of the United States..."

She went on to explain her accomplishments.

...The villains who had accomplished a lot so far spoke in proud and confident voices, while those who hadn't yet done so also spoke up and said that they would be more aggressive in the future.

Villains like Katana, who had already conquered the country, didn't say much, just that they would continue to support Cathedral.

And then, as my turn came, there were stares from everywhere.

...I sensed something about Stardus in particular, something that probably worried them the most.

I smiled and opened my mouth.

"...I'm buying up heroes all around, eating the Association and the government from the inside out. I have the support of public opinion, and my plans are going smoothly."

I started with a refreshing lie, then prepared to talk about Stardus.

...In truth, Stardus shouldn't be anyone's concern. She's too busy defending Korea but the problem is, they don't know that.
