The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Chapter 424

Chapter 424:

The lifeless corpse of a saint was engulfed in blue light and began to scatter.

I immediately realized that it was not the self-proclaimed god who caused this phenomenon.

When I turned my head, Yongyong spoke with a serious expression.

[In the end, he took action according to his own will. I cannot stand watching a human corpse being mutilated like that.]

That is why the dead saint was treated as if she were a divine beast. Yongyong returned the body to nature under his own authority.

[Why?]

“It’s the right decision. “I saw you again.”

[What on earth is my image inside you?]

Even if I say that, my mouth will only hurt.

While chatting leisurely, our eyes turned to the self-proclaimed god who had fully revealed himself.

The person’s appearance was not much different from what was revealed in the image world.

“Can that be called God?”

[No, never.]

“Then can we still be considered members of the same race?”

[…No.]

There was a moment of hesitation, but Yongyong gave me the answer I wanted.

Yes, I would have been quite disappointed if I had seen that and treated them as if they were my own people.

“That thing is a monster. These are the words of a guy who will stop at nothing to pursue his own greed.”

[It’s terrible.]

Yongyong shook his head as if he didn’t want to talk to him.

At least I won’t get in your way.

Little by little, I began to think that I could trust Yongyong now.

I turned my attention to the self-proclaimed god who was painting the world black.

“How are you feeling after breathing outside air for the first time in a while?”

There was an aura of kinship surrounding the self-proclaimed god. The uncontrollable energy continued to invade both the mind and the body.

The speed is such that even I, who possesses super regeneration, might be pushed back.

But you can’t catch a guy impersonating God without making that kind of sacrifice.

I accepted it without much thought and fixed my gaze on the self-proclaimed god.

He seemed to be displeased with the fact that I was not affected, and his mood became fierce.

[Human, you have crossed the line.]

“If you are a god, you should act proudly outside like a god. “Isn’t that God?”

I didn’t want to admit to a guy who was secretly watching the atmosphere behind my back.

“Or is there a reason why you have no choice but to act behind the scenes?”

[You bastard…!]

The moment the self-proclaimed god was about to explode with anger, I stretched out my hand first. As the hand holding the mine split the air, black air currents swirled around, forming a barrier in front of me.

puck!

The barrier was like a wall made of mud. The soft yet thick Saiham burrowed into me persistently, as if trying to stain me.

The more I tried to break down my defenses, the more the energy in his hands tried to consume me.

I tried to resist it and break down the barrier, but this only led to a meaningless war of attrition.

As I stepped back, the remaining mines sparked a few times and then disappeared.

[It’s best to stay away from that.]

“Don’t overexert yourself and watch from afar.”

Currently, this place is the self-proclaimed domain of God.

Just having my alter ego, Yongyong, give me advice would take a lot of energy.

[How can I just sit there and watch you work so hard?]

I guess I’m quite unsatisfactory.

“Just watch.”

[Don’t let your guard down. Your egos are protecting you, but the other person has the power to impersonate God. The moment you become exhausted and unable to function properly, it can be fatal to you.]

I also had my own thoughts, so I only listened to what Yongyong said up to that point.

[Tch, it’s okay to worry.]

There was concern in the voice of the guy walking away, but I was so immersed in the self-proclaimed god that I couldn’t respond.

Clearly, the power of the self-proclaimed god was overwhelming.

But why hasn’t it been able to dominate the world until now?

Even when I was a hematologist, the self-proclaimed god could not stretch himself.

Just because the body wasn’t completed? There were many aspects that could not be explained by that alone.

“ah.”

Suddenly, the confrontation with the Thunderbird came to mind.

It was my first fight with Shinsu, but now that I think about it, there was no one that threatened me as much as the Thunderbird.

The self-proclaimed god is stronger than the thunderbird. He has the power to drive others crazy just by his presence, and the cunning to hide it and pretend to be a god.

But as my thoughts continued, I realized why he didn’t deal with the Thunderbird.

“You don’t have a good relationship with the Thunderbird. Right?”

[….]

That’s not all. A thought that suddenly passed through my mind completed an incomplete picture.

Thunderbird cooperated with the U.S. government and continued its relationship with the party.

What was the hidden implication there?

The United States was still the most powerful country in the world, and even though the party’s power was halved, it was an organization that once dominated the United States and Europe and controlled the world behind the scenes.

Yes, the party’s influence in Europe is important here.

The establishment of Leviathan in the Atlantic Ocean and the weakening of the party’s influence were intended by the self-proclaimed god.

And it was the Thunderbird’s intention to attract the party.

These facts meant one thing.

“The Thunderbird was blocking your physical composition.”

The Thunderbird and the self-proclaimed god are partners. But there was no way they had a good relationship with each other. If each side kept each other in check in hostile coexistence, all of the Thunderbird’s actions would be interpreted.

Although he had the upper hand in terms of compatibility with the self-proclaimed god, he must have been looking for a way as he lost power.

One of them is something that prevents one from acquiring the body of a self-proclaimed god.

He probably sabotaged everything.

In my last life, this confrontation would have continued, but in this life, the balance was completely destroyed when the Thunderbird was destroyed by my hands.

I could see why the current trend had changed so much.

[You know too much.]

“I know more.”

The self-proclaimed god in front of me is the same form I saw in the world of images.

Where is the body that I put so much effort into?

“Does it take more time for the body to be completed?”

[….]

“And it also needed time to complete and adapt.”

That meant that I couldn’t exert my full strength or that I couldn’t exert my strength for a long time.

Is it possible to regret not being able to see the full power of a self-proclaimed god who is said to be the strongest among divine beasts?

Not at all.

Rather, I had no intention of missing this opportunity.

“Let’s give it a try.”

It will never go the way he wants.

I rushed towards the self-proclaimed god.

*

* *

I knew he was in a difficult state to show his full potential, but I didn’t let down my guard.

Its entire body, which looked like a disgusting chimera, was literally in the optimal shape to annihilate its enemies.

In particular, Saiham, who seemed to be immersed in darkness just by touching it due to how many vengeful spirits it had swallowed, made the Gift Egos scream over and over again.

I guess Yongyong was right.

If the long-term battle continued like this, Mandeuk and others might give up at some point.

But on the outside, the self-proclaimed god’s attacks seemed to have no effect on me.

[Why?]

It was him who caused the rift first.

[Why don’t you go crazy?]

I could tell that his intention was to keep digging inside to interfere with my mind.

I know why.

I smiled at him.

“I’m already crazy.”

This is a fact that has never been acknowledged. But it’s not like I don’t have any sense. When I look at the reactions of those around me, it is true that I am crazy.

I only regained my sanity by returning to the past, but there is a high possibility that I was still consumed by madness and went crazy.

So his attempt to drive me crazy won’t work.

I’m already crazy, but I don’t know what it means to go crazy there.

It took me a very long time to admit this.

But it didn’t hurt at all.

Even if others say I’m crazy, it’s okay if I believe that I’m normal.

Rather, I liked the current situation more, where the unlucky guy’s attempt at conversion didn’t work at all.

“There is nothing more absurd than trying to make a crazy person crazy.”

[How dare an insignificant person…!]

As I expressed my anger, the force that attacked me became more intense.

Puzzle!

This time, the Mandeuks could not hold out and burrowed inside. The clamor that came from both humans and monsters shook my mind.

It wouldn’t be surprising if my mind were destroyed in the face of such a terrifying grudge, but… it’s

not uncommon to come across this level of grudges.

Rather, the moment I thought it was worth holding on, I was able to dig in more boldly.

Like a salmon swimming upstream, it caught or bounced off all the thoughts of the self-proclaimed god and reached right in front of it.

[How can a mere human!]

“It’s quite stinging.”

I stretched out my hand without hesitation.

Pajik! Puzzle!

A mine unleashed at maximum power struck the self-proclaimed god. The thick energy it wore like armor blocked the mine. At first, I deployed mines in the form of lightly tapping the surface, and then in the form of digging into the source of the guy’s strength.

Mines that can freely extend anywhere can dig into or crush the enemy in front of them. The mine that my will touched caused a crack in the armor of the self-proclaimed god and the moment it dug in, it hit the inside at a faster rate than anything else in the world.

Pajik! Squeeze!

[Kaaaa!]

“This isn’t enough.”

I didn’t let go of the guy who tried to roughly shake me off. Meanwhile, a feeling of intimacy was constantly creeping into my head, but I didn’t care.

Only if I am prepared to die can I inflict fatal injury on the other person.

If you step away from here because you’re scared, you never know when you’ll get another chance.

My whole body, pushed back by the self-proclaimed god’s rough struggle, was enveloped in a black air current.

Passsss!

[Are you crazy? This may never be recovered!]

Like Yongyong’s screams, the energy of super regeneration and the self-proclaimed god was clashing fiercely.

If this continues, irreparable scars may remain.

Even now, my whole body is screaming. Then, unable to withstand it, the bones are distorted and the skin is melting or peeling off.

But it didn’t have much of an impact on me.

“This is a medal.”

[You really…]

Yongyong and I no longer talked. Cracks began to appear in the self-proclaimed god who was struggling in pain.

“Because the body is not complete, there is a limit to the output.”

Continuing collisions are bound to cause overload, and the result is what we are now.

It was such a powerful force that it needed a body to handle it.

[Geuaaaa!]

But all the plans went wrong because of me.

The power of the self-proclaimed god, engulfed in anger, exploded in all directions. A black air current emanated from the bristling feathers of dozens of tentacles of varying lengths, sweeping the surrounding space like a tidal wave.

I didn’t overdo it and kept my distance.

I don’t know what brought him here.

Were you afraid of your true identity being revealed?

A few cases came to mind, but I thought they didn’t matter.

When did I ever care about other people’s situations?

I approached the self-proclaimed god, who stopped at some point.

[It’s dangerous.]

As Yongyong said, uncontrolled power scratched his entire body.

Not only that, even the core existing inside was affected.

Is it the will of the hermit sage? He was visibly shaking in front of the self-proclaimed god.

[Take a step back!]

Yongyong, who knew about all of this, repeatedly shouted at me to step back.

Rather than that.

I wanted to see in my eyes the self-proclaimed god collapsing.

Gooooo!

It was a surge of tremendous power.

What is clear is that the power this guy possessed was so great that it could not be compared to any divine beast.

But there were limits.

Just like me in the past.

“Come out.”

Damn it!

Cracks began to appear in the figure of the guy who could not withstand the force.

What started as a small incontinence began to spread uncontrollably and the entire body was covered in cracks.

“Is that what you look like?”

I finally got to see the proud image of God.

An endless abyss appeared, and an eye appeared in it. I met its gaze.

“We’re finally on the same level.”

I smiled at the guy.
