The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity Chapter 322

Episode 322

The phantom’s eyes towards me were serious and sunken. I guess it’s because it’s the most important issue for the party right now, without having to reveal my deep feelings.

Leviathan.

The monster that appears in mythology is the monster that played a decisive role in causing the party to decline.

This monster, which coiled up in the Atlantic Ocean and took the entire Atlantic Ocean as its territory, split the party’s power, which had mainly used the United States and Europe, in half.

As a result, the European branches began to escape American control and the party forces were divided.

What is even more painful is that the league, which was ambitiously organized, betrayed itself and its influence was reduced to North America. Even so, the power of the government has been growing stronger recently.

The monster that the party must eliminate is Leviathan.

There is even an assessment that the American continent and Europe have returned to before the Age of Exploration due to this monster that split the Atlantic Ocean.

The majesty of the monster Leviathan is that great.

Looking at this concept, it is safe to say that two-horned monsters have existed for a long time.

It’s just that no new concepts have emerged, and it’s safe to say that the power of desert nightmares, leviathans, and monsters that remain as legends or ghost stories have reached that stage.

“What do I gain if I get rid of this?”

“I’ll give you half the world.”

“Are you saying this because you think I’ll covet it?”

“Probably not. “But I’m sure you’ll accept.”

“why?”

“Because your goal is to hunt stronger monsters.”

“….”

“Isn’t it?”

[I know exactly about you?]

Phantom and Yongyong are just as they said. It’s true that I’m interested in a monster called Leviathan.

At the same time, I felt antipathy. This guy is full of thoughts of using my power. Perhaps if I eliminate Leviathan, Phantom will try to restore the party’s strength again. What good does that do for me? Rather, wouldn’t it just cause troublesome things to happen?

“Does that mean you know me well?”

“It’s probably because your antipathy towards me has grown and you’re trying to reject me.”

“Do you understand?”

“But I believe in my desire to hunt strong monsters. “Because I know very well that we don’t have much interest in fighting, fighting, and fighting.”

You really did a lot of research about me. Since much of the party power in Europe has collapsed anyway, a conflict with the European Union will be inevitable for Phantom to recover.

If we continue to fight in Europe after the United States, a lot of energy will be wasted. From my perspective, there is nothing wrong if they are fighting among themselves.

“This isn’t enough to stimulate interest.”

The world is wide, and even if it is not Leviathan, strong monsters are widespread.

I know my ransom will increase, but is there really a need to get rid of Leviathan?

Phantom curled up the corner of his mouth as if he knew even this.

“Then how about something like this?”

“what?”

“I’ll tell you where the League is based.”

“….”

[Wow, you really know what you want. That old human ghost is a ghost.]

It’s just as Yongyong said.

I felt caught off guard as I had no idea that the league’s home base would be mentioned.

“…Are you okay?”

“You have a lot of time, so think slowly. “Besides that, there are many gift packages we have prepared.”

Phantom curled up the corners of his mouth and laughed mischievously.

Should we just extract information through brainwashing?

[You are also amazing for thinking like that.]

* * *

The conversation with Phantom and the actions of the U.S. government that followed were quite impressive.

Vice President Daniel dealt directly with me and tightly controlled other people who approached him with intent. This saved me a lot of hassle.

It’s exactly the kind of behavior that suits my tastes.

“It’s not like they took over the world for nothing.”

At the same time, he conveyed some key points to me and negotiated from various angles, mainly contacting the government diplomatic corps. My move was to focus on practicality while thoroughly avoiding things that would bother me.

[So what are you going to do with that monster hunting?]

Yongyong showed great interest in Leviathan. Since it was so far away, he said he didn’t know much about the monsters that live in the Atlantic Ocean.

A divine beast who wanders around saying the world is small and doesn’t know about monsters that exist on the other side of the world?

[It’s not good for us if you run around and cause collisions.]

When you say that, I suddenly understand. Yongyong is the kind of guy who invites controversy.

Yongyong got angry as soon as he heard what I was thinking.

[Are you crossing the line? Anyway, please answer or do the laundry.]

“I’m thinking about it. “This could be doing something good for someone else.”

[Pretty calculating, huh?]

“I like dealing with annoying people, but I also don’t like doing nice things for others.”

So even when I had a hematoma, I made sure to blow off the head of the guy who tried to use my power. A few times, instead of using me, he was afraid to even approach me.

Nevertheless, the guy I was trying to use kept appearing and his head was constantly blown off.

Rather, what I couldn’t do anything about was the merchants who ripped me off.

I used it for good.

It’s a history of protection that makes me shiver when I think about it now.

[But what you’re worried about is that you’re quite attracted to it, right?]

“That’s right.”

[I thought so.]

And it wasn’t just the phantom that guided me.

This guy, Yongyong, had been trying to subtly guide me to a decision a while ago.

“You said you didn’t know much about Leviathan, right?”

[Right?]

“That means you know to some extent.”

[Ugh.]

I brought out to Yongyong what had been lingering in my head for a while.

“Then let me ask you one question: is Leviathan a divine beast or a monster? Or is it none of the two?”

[….]

Yongyong was silent. I thought you would react like this.

When I saw him pretending not to know and subtly guiding me, I thought he was saying it with 100% knowledge.

“Think slowly and speak when you have figured it out.”

Anyway, it was Yongyong or Phantom who wanted a place to borrow my power.

All I have to do is just watch and change my mind.

About 30 minutes have passed since then. And Yongyong, as if he had finished organizing his thoughts, spoke with difficulty.

[Leviathan is a special being. Even a divine beast straddles the borderline of being a monster.]

“Tell me in detail.”

[So…]

Yongyong’s next words were quite unexpected. Originally, Leviathan was one of several monsters that existed in the Atlantic Ocean. This monster, which was strong in itself, absorbed the essence of the divine beast that was drifting in the Atlantic Ocean.

And not only did he completely absorb the power of the divine beast, but he also became equipped with the spirituality of the divine beast.

“Then you’re not a god?”

[No.]

Although it has spirituality, Leviathan still has the tendencies of a monster and is said to have completely absorbed the power of a divine beast. As a result, it is said that Leviathan, a creature that crosses the border between being neither a divine beast nor a monster, was born.

[Other divine beasts are quite concerned about Leviathan. That was the same for me, Hyuna, and Thunderbird. [This guy knew that, so he didn’t want to leave the Atlantic Ocean.]

Rather, trying to thoroughly defend the Atlantic Ocean ended up being a disaster for Phantom.

That’s not my concern.

“So I guess you also have an ulterior motive to use me to get rid of him.”

[Well, since that person asked me to do it, I can achieve my goal as well, right? It’s good for you too to fight against a strong enemy. It’s a happy development for everyone.]

He’s a very sneaky guy. You showed your foolish side, caught me off guard, and then tried to achieve your goal in this way. Could it be that all the sloppy behavior so far was just acting?

…No, that can’t be possible. That would be Yongyong’s original appearance.

[These are truly rude actions. Even if you ignore Shinsu, it is still oil.]

Of course, I do not ignore Shinsu. However, Yongyong thinks that it is okay to be ignored.

You can think of it as special treatment.

[and! Really!]

I ran wild and that was all. Anyway, after getting additional information about Leviathan, I decided to think about it some more.

And then I met Jeong Da-hyun, who had the most serious expression on her face.

“I met your parents.”

“okay?”

“Your parents are still the same. “Both 20 years ago and now.”

Jeong Da-hyeon, who was smiling bitterly, had a sorrowful look on her face. I guess I felt bad about my family and the story.

“What about you?”

“my heart hurts.”

“Compare it to when you were young?”

Jeong Da-hyun’s dark expression has cleared up a little.

“It’s not like cutting it with a knife like it used to. Maybe it’s because I don’t have high expectations. “To be honest, I didn’t have much expectations.”

“If there are no expectations, there can be no disappointment.”

In that respect, Dahyun Jeong, who came to the United States and faced the disappointment of her parents, could be said to have more courage than me.

When I had a hematoma, I also had a lot of regrets about going crazy. And as I missed my family, I often visited their places from far away.

But in the end, I couldn’t appear in front of my family.

The fact that the awakened people were watching to catch me was just an excuse. I had hopes that my family would welcome me without prejudice, but at the same time, I was afraid that those expectations would be shattered. Because I thought that if my family turned away from me, I would have no one else to rely on.

In that respect, Jeong Da-hyun, whom I met in person, is better.

“Think simple.”

It’s like a coward giving advice to a courageous person, but since I didn’t have courage, I had no chance to correct myself. If the miracle of returning to the past had not occurred, this would not have happened.

“The you of the past and the you of now are different. Now you are a person who is certain to become a superhuman. Think about that location and look at it. “That’s it.”

The relationship between parents and children is constant, but the story is different when it comes to Jeong Da-hyun, a talented person who is expected to become a superhuman and who the United States is trying to recruit.

Because it becomes a story about a professor and his wife who are of no help in hunting monsters and a future superhuman.

Professors still receive social respect, but nowhere near the level of superhumans.

In particular, as Americans are serious about creating images of heroes, the status of superhumans is so great that it goes beyond imagination.

To the extent that it acts as a naturalization factor for adepts from other countries.

“I see. When I think about it, my parents can’t do anything to me. “Both in terms of social status and physical strength.”

“okay.”

Looking at Jeong Da-hyun’s relaxed face, I realized that she understood what I meant exactly.

This next area is her territory.

I believe the rest will take care of itself.

Clap clap clap!

At that time, a person who was watching this situation from afar clapped.

“It’s a very heartwarming scene. “I was moved when I saw it.”

It was Anna Christine who came inside. Because they sensed the presence of me, Dahyun Jeong, or Anna Christine, they did not show much of a reaction.

“I thought it was something I shouldn’t hear, but I guess it’s okay?”

“If you are in the United States, you are well aware of this fact. And wasn’t he taking advantage of this?”

“I don’t know. “My interests lie elsewhere.”

At the same time, it was Anna Christine who was looking at me with a subtle gaze. Jeong Da-hyeon, who was watching the scene with her eyebrows pressed together, also does not back down.

“thank god. “If you had come, I would have rejected you right away.”

“I think it’s because you haven’t met a proper lobbyist?”

“But it doesn’t mean anything.”

“i know. That’s why I didn’t come forward. “Because I know it means nothing.”

“under.”

Jeong Da-hyeon made an absurd expression.

“So why are you here?”

At my words, Anna Christine turned her head here and smiled.

Even though I knew it was artificial, it was a nice smile to see.

“I received a government request.”

“what?”

“There is someone who has nothing to do with the content of the request. Is it okay to talk about it?”
