Chapter 85: Incitement and fabrication
"Wow…"
Flying across the sky, Shin Ha-ru groaned.
Will she be able to stop falling missiles or do so in such a lack of strength?
She couldn't be sure, to be honest.
"….."
Missile caught at a glance, as soon as she flew up.
Now she clenched her teeth as she saw it coming right in front of them.
Can we stop that?
No, that's not the point.
The moment you've already made a decision, you have no choice but to prevent that.
For citizens who may be caught up in that.
For a city that could be completely destroyed by that.
And… to protect a man who might die from that.
So she headed to the station, not to run for the incoming missile.
And, in an instant.
She flew towards it.
….
Honestly, I don't even know how.
The pain of twisting the internal organs, the sense of fattening, and the shock of ringing the head when it collided with it.
A shock similar to, or worse than, when she lifted the plane before hit her.
Even more so because he was already out of energy due to a long and rough battle.
A situation that won't be strange if you lose your mind.
However, she endured with her superhuman mind.
The missile has slowed down since it hit her, but it still continues to move on.
To stop it.
She showed her strength to the limit, even in a situation where she was about to lose her mind.
In general, a situation that would never have been possible.
However, she was such a person who became stronger as she went through adversity. If there's someone I need to protect, I'm a person who becomes stronger.
She is.
With a force you don't know where you came from.
Finish it.
Missile, stopped.
Then.
Almost, now, beyond your limits.
The missile flew back into the sky.
"…….."
How far her powers have been amplified in this short moment.
Her missile flew high into the sky and became a star in the sky.
Then, she collapsed.
"…Ah."
She uttered a short groan as she fell.
As soon as she threw the missile again, her body, which showed its ability beyond its limits, was drained as if it had done its job.
Obviously, she would fall down as she passed out in the sky.
So she closed her eyes tightly as she was falling down.
If she falls like this, will she be okay?
No matter how strong she is compared to the average person, it’s impossible to guarantee that she will be safe from this height. She’s not gonna die, but… she’ll have to be prepared to stay in the hospital for a few days.
As she was prepared for the upcoming shock.
Fluffy.
Instead of shock, she felt someone gently embracing her.
"…..?"
She opened her eyes slightly when she felt an unexpected touch, wondering what was going on.
She saw him.
It was Egostic floating, hugging her in the air.
***
"No, fuck?"
As I saw a missile flying in, I widened my eyes.
When the hell did they shoot that? They didn't shoot that on the damn day in the original comic.
Well, actually, missiles aren't a big deal. I can just throw away the weapon and run away. But Stardus, we're almost done with the power up. It’d be a shame if she couldn’t wake her power and things just end like this.
But, that's not the problem.
Why did Stardus suddenly fly up?
"Is she going to block that…?"
I muttered in absurdity without realizing it.
Why is she blocking that? Did she get the message that there's a nuclear bomb coming in? If it's a regular missile, there's no reason to stop it though?
But, before that.
Is she in a state where she can stop that?
"Da-in, what should we do?"
"First of all, hijack the news that's being filmed by helicopters. Quick."
"Yes… Wait, I don't have enough equipment here…"
Seo-eun started to do something with the laptop she had brought with Soobin even though she was grumpy.
"Ha-yul, and Choi Sehee, the two of you are here for now. I'll be back."
I teleported after talking to the other two.
To the top of the head of a giant weapon.
"Gosh, it's cold."
The cold wind suddenly blows when I come out to the top of my head outside. The temperature seems to have fallen since the night is coming down soon. This is not the point.
Standing at the top of the weapon, waving my cape, I looked at Stardus.
Well, I don’t know why she came forward.
Can she really stop that thing?
She just fought with me from morning until afternoon without eating anything
I was at the point of biting my hand out of concern.
I mean, it's a little different from before.
Even though there was a scene in the original where she blocked a train or plane, I never saw her blocking a missile in such a tired state!
I'm so worried that I’m about to do the tap dance.
I watched Stardus do it with a worried heart, and was already ready to go save her. There's no need to worry about anything since it's going to be hijacked.
The, Stardus and the missile collided.
My hands got sweaty while looking at it. What are you going to do if that explodes?
Fortunately, the missile didn’t pop in the middle and burn Stardus. I brought Ha-yul here, so she could heal me if I happened to be in that situation. That's a relief.
Wait, catching a missile is quite a way, but what should we do after that? I mean, if we throw it nearby, it'll explode there
But, as if my concern were hanging over her, she blasted the missile into the sky.
A high-flying missile flew over the sky and went into space.
That's how strong she is? No, she's growing up endlessly
Stardus seemed to have awakened her power. Well, I was going to improve her skill with the robot battle, but I think she’s grown it up in a different way. Well, the end justifies the means.
As soon as she evaluated it, Stardus lost her balance and passed out, she began to fall from the sky. Oh, she’s worn out. That’s obvious. But it would be a big problem if she hit the ground like that.
As I thought so, my body already moved first.
Let's save Stardus first.
…And I’ll ask her why she blocked that. Was it really a nuclear bomb?
*
Back to the present.
I was holding Stardus naturally like a princess.
"……"
It's the second time after coming to this world I've held someone like a princess like this.
It's kind of amazing that Stardus is in my arms. Even though I grabbed her out of the suit, I can feel how soft she is. How can she turn out like this when she does so much work as a hero?
…Wait, what's this weird feeling? I didn't think of anything when I held Choi Sehee last time, but this gives me a weird feeling.
Anyway, I made eye contact with Stardus who was in my arms.
"….."
And we didn't say anything for a second.
As soon as she saw me, I thought she was going to curse out "You scum! Let me off right now!” or something like that, but unexpectedly, she only stared at me quietly without saying anything.
She's breathing like she's about to faint. Wait, but why isn’t she saying anything to me? You, the hero, is being hugged by a villain. Thanks to that, my original plan was ruined. If she scolded me, I was going to take it by making fun of it, but what the hell?
I floated in the air and slowly came down to the ground, hurriedly looking around to find something to say, and soon spoke up with a smile.
"Ms. Stardus! You did something amazing again. We were fighting then suddenly you flew up, I even thought you were going up to heaven!"
I just rant out randomly. Show me some reactions.
But she was staying quietly in my arms, with her eyes down, without saying a word. What's wrong with you? Are you mute?
All right, let's ask you something.
"Of course, Ms. Stardus. I have a question, why did you block that missile?"
Why did she stop that thing?
If she left it alone, it’d break down the giant weapon, and if she’s lucky, she could’ve also sent me away and it’d be killing two birds with one stone.
This time she opened her mouth to my question.
Gosh, I thought I'd be ignored again
She spoke to me in a slightly trembling voice.
"…Just…"
"Just?"
"I can use this to pay off my debt, right?"
She smiled a little faintly, then passed out.
Looking at her passing out with her mouth still slightly raised.
I couldn't laugh.
"……."
You paid off your debt?
What is she talking about? Does that mean she blocked it to save me? Isn't there another reason?
….But why? Why? I'm a villain
What kind of hero flies to protect the villain?
I felt a little dizzy with all these thoughts stuck in my head.
….Did she notice? The reason I'm doing a villain? My true feelings?
No, it can't be. How honest she is. I have a criminal record. Why would she do that?
….But then, what was the reaction just now?
Now that I'm on the ground, I laid Stardus nearby. She's still lying quietly.
"….."
I pressed my hand against my throbbing head.
Yeah, first of all, it doesn't matter how she looks at me. The important thing now is what's happening. Maybe everyone saw Stardus flying to stop the missile. But the question is why she stopped this. If she says she blocked me to protect me, she’ll be burnt.
……I'm not saying that she’ll be burnt in a dating scandal. Of course, that topic will also be heated up, but the haters can attack, taking issue with her quality of a hero.
What should I do then?
I need to justify her actions.
I tried to think fast.
The people of this world distrust their government, the president's low approval rating, the friendly public opinion of me and Stardus, the easily flaming people. The missile is nowhere to be seen since it’s gone into space..
All right, this is the answer.
After coming up with a complete plan, I contacted Seo-eun.
"Seo-eun, did you hijack the radio wave?""
[Yes. And those news’ cameras? I made them turn it off too.]
"I'm going to start the broadcast now, so throw me the camera… No, I'll go get it."
I teleported myself back to the weapon’s control room.
Everyone looked at me wondering what was going on as I suddenly appeared
"Choi Sehee. Camera next to you, please."
"Huh? Here."
"Seo-eun, you're getting ready to broadcast."
"All right."
After receiving the camera from Sehee, I carried it back to the top of the weapon's head.
It's already dark now.
I need to hurry up and leave.
I took a deep breath, and then turned on the camera.
I'm going to show myself on all terrestrial television since we already hijacked the radio waves after a long time.
On top of that, I will go all over the Internet with the Ego Stream this time.
And as expected, as soon as I turn it on, the comments are coming up.
[Broadcasting is ON. Hahahahaha.]
[Why are you turning it on now? Damn it! Hahahahaha]
[Where's the giant robot battle that makes my heart grow grand?????? Where is it!!!]
[The news broadcast got cut off after showing Stardus flying up the sky.]
[What's going on? Why are you outside?]
[Where is Stardus?]
[What's the reason to Stardus’ sudden acceleration? I’m so curious.]
[I was looking forward to it. Where's that giant weapon…? It was the only fun part on the evacuation path…]
I looked at the camera, smiled and greeted everyone.
"Hello, everyone! I’m Egostic!"
And I went on right away.
"And you might wonder why the battle was suddenly cut off, but unfortunately, that's it. Ms. Stardus has collapsed."
[?????]
[What does this mean?]
[Why did Stardus pass out? Did she lose?]
[No, she suddenly went up and it got cut off. I think something happened..]
[Where's my giant weapon?]
"Ms. Stardus collapsed after stopping something that suddenly flew over here during our fight. Everyone, don't be shocked and listen."
I took a short breath.
Yeah, it's going to be serious starting from this moment.
From now on, I will deceive myself. Incitement and fabrication that have reached the limit are even incitement and fabrication.
All this for Stardus. Now, I am the truth… I am the truth…
Soon, I shouted with confidence in a voice more sincere than anyone else and full of trust.
"The president sent a nuclear bomb to Seoul to catch me!"
"Stardus flew away to stop it!"
"Everyone, this is the truth!!!"
[?]
[What?]
[??????????????]
[Shit. Why is it so plausible when he said that the president did it?]
[So, that's how it was.]
[Fuck, really?]
[It's a lie! It can't be!… You think I’m going to say that?]
[Fuck. Is that why Stardus flew up? It gives me goosebumps]
[Those government rats, I knew they'd do it someday.]
[The president, I knew it! Arrest him now, you mother fucker@@@!!!]
Now, let's start agitation and fabrication.
Did you think I'd stay still?
Let's all go to hell together, you mother fucker.
***
"Oh, my God! What a load of crap! Prime Minister! Turn that thing off right now! Stop the broadcast!"
"…I'm sorry, Mr. President, but we can't help it because they have hijacked the radio."
"Urgh…"
"Mr. President, we’re in trouble!"
"What else?"
"The head of the association issued a statement! He stated ‘The president did fire a nuclear bomb'… Maybe to protect their heroes!"
"…What on earth is happening?"
The president was knocked down.
