Chapter 438: Lily of the Valley (13)

Chapter 438: Lily of the Valley (13)

After the HanEun Group's attack on the station began, I was flying nearby with Seo-Eun in the suit, contacting Stardus.

[I'll try to clear two of the stations as quickly as I can on my own, but you can take care of the other one, Egostic.]

"Yes, be careful."

[...You're going out with Han Seo-eun today, you should be careful too, you don't want her to get hurt.]

"Haha yeah. I'll keep that in mind."

[Okay... I got there first, so I'm charging.]

With that, I lost contact with Stardus.

Just in time, I could see the station that was currently under attack, among the many buildings in the sky.

Okay, time to get started.

"Seo-eun, we're here."

"....Phew. Yep. Finally, the real thing."

At my announcement of her arrival, Seo-eun paused for a moment and replied in a nervous voice.

I can't see her face because she's wearing the suit up to her head, but I can imagine how nervous she must be right now.

I know. The first time is always the hardest.

I smirked at the thought, then pointed to the camera in the air and said.

"Don't be so nervous. Just do what you've been practicing. Oh, and let's go live."

"Right now?"

"Yes. We're running out of time. Let's go."

With those words, I turned on the camera.

At the same time, the broadcast started as I had set it to automatically.

I looked into the lens, smirked and greeted my viewers for the first time in a long time.

"Hello, everyone. It's Egostic!"

And just like that...In the blink of an eye, the chat started pouring in.

*

[Mangostick! Mangostick! Mangostick! Mangostick! Mangostick!]

[Finally, he's back! It's been months!]

[I'm so happy that "Mangostick", the only remaining superhuman in the world, is back. Hahahahahahahaha]

[Finally, the big one has come...]

[Look at the Mango group that comes in a hurry even though the broadcast cycle is half a year. That's me. LOL]

[HanEun Group, who made Mango broadcast < Honestly, I'm a little grateful?]

[Who's the one next to you?]

[We are living in the era of mango]

*

Glancing at the chat window, which I couldn't read at a glance, I said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's good to see you too. I wonder how everyone's been. Today, I heard that the HanEun Group is responsible for the terrorist attack, so I turned on the broadcast again."

I sighed heavily as I said that, and then continued.

"Really... Didn't I tell you before that I'm the only villain in Korea? I don't want to see any other villains who aren't on my side come out without my permission, so I'm going to give them their comeuppance."

With a chuckle at the end, I said that, and the chat window started to fill up again.

** * * * * * *

[Kyaaaa]

[Mangostick, the S-class hero of Korea]

[Kahahahahahahaha]

[I don't need any other villains except me = I'll defeat all the other villains, God Mango]

[I'm going to go to training~]

[So who's that guy in the suit flying next to him?]

*

Okay, I guess we can introduce ourselves.

With that, I introduced Seo-eun, who was flying next to me in a suit.

"Oh, and by the way, I'm going to be assisted today by my villain colleague, whose name is Silver Steel. Let's all give her a round of applause!"

At my introduction, Seo-Eun closed her mouth tightly and nodded silently.

...And then, she didn't say another word.

Well... Is Seo-eun a little shy in front of the camera?

No. It's not important.

*

[Oh, a new villain coworker?]

[No what...I thought Mango's new coworker would be a girl of course, but I'm shocked]

[Kya, now he has a coworker, he's twice as powerful]

[I'm not sure, but let's goooo~~~~]

[I think the suit design is a bit feminine, but is it just my mood]

[So I guess I should just suck on Mango Steel?? I don't know the gender? Lol]

*

...The comments were weird, but I shrugged them off and got down to business.

"Alright. Everyone, let's head straight to the station. Let's go!"

Flying to a reasonable distance away, I grabbed Seo-Eun's suit and teleported away.

~Inside the station~

In the tall and spacious main lobby on the first floor...The members of the HanEun Group, wearing bulletproof vests and green helmets, who were standing everywhere, jumped at the sight of our sudden appearance.

[Who are they, attack them all!!!]

With those words, the nearby members flew towards us.

Then, they released blue power from their hands and started shooting at us.

"Eek. Electricity powers this time, so predictable, so predictable."

I grinned and said so, teleporting out of the way, then moved behind them and shot them with my special gun.

Actually, if I used telekinesis, it would be a one-two punch...

I always reduced my power when the broadcast was on, just in case, and used it like this.

-Bang. Bang. Bang.

"Kuck..."

After taking down a few people like that, I looked over at Seo-Eun.

-Pow. Purr. Purr.

[Kaaak, what the hell... Kuck].

Like me, Seo-Eun was flying through the air, dodging electric currents and shooting energy waves from her hands to knock them down.

...She's got some awkward moves at times, but she's pretty good at it.

*

[Kya, she's just being a good student...]

[Silver Steel? He's a pretty good fighter too?]

[HanEun group massacre? Mango TV...]

[Ah, if you want to be a villain in Korea, beat Mango before Stardus...]

[Villain appeal, S-class hero mango stick lol]

*

"Hah. This is pretty easy, huh?"

After defeating the members on the first floor, we heard a commotion at the top of the escalator and felt the power coming down.

"Looks like they're lined up from the first floor to the top, so let's take it slow and pick them off one by one."

"...."

I nod.

With Seo-eun leading the way, who hasn't said a word since the broadcast started, I went up to the second floor to greet the guys coming down from above.

"Alright, let's get the show on the road!"

***

And so began our conquest of the two-story station building.

All of them were coming down to fight us, and HanEun's group's abilities were constantly coming down from above.

This time, it was the same group that kept sending out blue-electricity powers, and they didn't use their fire powers again.

Honestly, I wasn't too surprised.

I expected that there would be more abilities...

'In the original, a villain named Electra also used electricity.'

I had already seen a villain with a similar ability in the original.

However, the difference is that she threw yellow, fresh, natural (?) electricity, while they threw blue electricity, which is something alien.

I could only speculate that it was probably because they had created the ability artificially.

So we continued to climb the station.

Contrary to what I had worried about, Seo-eun fought quite well. ... In fact, the suit itself had electricity resistance built into it, so no matter how many times I got hit, it didn't really show. It was almost as if she had known in advance.

Of course, she still didn't say a word the whole way here.

"There you go, we're finally here!"

Anyway, time passed that way and we finally knocked out all the kids downstairs, and arrived at the broadcast transmission floor upstairs.

Among the dozens of rows of computers there were people in white coats, not bulletproof vests, who were clearly researchers, sitting and doing something.

"...Shit, they're already here. Shoot them all!!!"

"They're fighting to the last man."

And so, the researchers, like the ones below, shoot blue electricity in their hands.

And the result was our victory.

"Kek... Kek..."

And just like that, they were all down.

I grabbed the most senior researcher, the bespectacled one in the back, and levitated him upwards with telekinesis.

"There you go. You're all down, so now tell me, what the hell were you trying to do at the station?"

"...Hmph....We were going to broadcast the proclamation of the HanEun Group to everyone...Kuck."

The researcher chuckled as he said that, even as he was about to collapse.

"...Ha. But it's useless to do this to me, Kuluk. I'm done. Anyway...My other colleagues would have started the transmission..."

The researcher smiles while saying that and I was silenced by his words for a moment.

[Egostic, I'm done with both stations, are you done too? I'll wrap up here and fly over there.]

...because I just got a call from Stardus.

"You know, it seems like everybody else's failed because of Stardus."

"What...?"

And with that, I told him the shocking truth.

The researcher's face went completely blank, and then his eyes dropped and he began to mumble to himself.

"Shit... what the... what the... what the... I've failed... What the hell... does that mean... they don't know our purpose yet..."

"What are you muttering...?"

"We can't let that happen... Kaaaaaah!"

At the same time he suddenly began to cover his entire body in blue electricity.

"Oppa, it's dangerous!!!"

-Kaaaaaahhh.

While he self-destructed in a power blast, I slipped out and escaped towards Seo-Eun.

"...Phew. That was dangerous, thank you, Silver Steel."

"Uhh... Yeah."

Seo-Eun replied to my words while panting.

...What's going on? Has the HanEun group turned into some kind of fanatics? What is this...?

I peeked at the chat window to see what kind of reaction it would have to this ridiculous situation...

*

[Oh.]

[Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa? Oppa?]

[What is Silver Steel's voice? Hahahahahahahaha]

[I believed in Mangostick, lol]

[From today on, support MangoSteel!]

[!! Egostic leave the HanEun Group and start talking about your female colleagues!!]

*

"...."

I considered just turning off the broadcast.
