Chapter 88 – #89 What Is Justice?
#89 What is justice?
Of the heroes and villains, the one who died more at my hands was the villain.
First of all, there are some villains who are bad guys, but first of all, there were an overwhelming number of villains compared to heroes.
As far as I know, there are less than 400 officially active heroes. On the other hand, the number of villains was so great that statistics were impossible.
Even so, Dark City was able to maintain security because many people and heroes tried to keep it in check, but the villains kept each other in check.
If the heroes outnumbered the villains, the villains might have chosen coexistence rather than containment and fought against the heroes.
However, if there were fewer heroes here, that wasn’t good. This is because it means that the balance that was barely maintained collapses.
The villains will act more boldly, and the heroes will not be able to arrest them easily.
So, as much as possible, the hero used his hand to stun. Of course, the villain slashed his head with a necklace right away.
But that didn’t mean he didn’t kill the hero at all. Is this baby hero among the heroes sometimes? It’s because there were crazy bastards who wanted to.
“Steel Armor, didn’t your mother eat it? This guy! Hurry up and call him dad!
“What is it? He wasn’t a villain, he was a hero? But you hit a pad lip? Isn’t this bastard crazy?”
If there was a hero who said bullshit like this, he would be punished with a single knife. Right now, I’m in a state where I’ve turned off the no-kill warning. There is no mercy in the hands.
Powder of light erupted from the dead hero and permeated my body. No one saw it except for me.
‘The player’s privilege is clear.’
It was a scene that did not suit the current situation. It didn’t make sense that no one could see it, no matter how heroic and villainous they were in a melee with superpowers.
A strange phenomenon that can only be seen with my eyes and only happens to me.
What is the difference between me and other people?
The answer was simple.
I’m a player, they’re NPCs.
In other words, this phenomenon was a phenomenon that only the player, the only player, could experience.
‘Meeting a psychic makes me feel uncomfortable, killing a psychic gives me experience as a tattoo, sacrificing the same psychic as a sacrifice increases my psychic experience…’
So far, the player’s privilege that I have figured out is roughly this.
‘This won’t be the end.’
I didn’t think this was the end. There must be more power of the system I don’t know about.
Because the player is the protagonist of this world.
Because it is a world where stories are created by my actions.
‘If I knew it would be like this, I would look into it when there is a tutorial system.’
I blew away the precious time of a week when the tutorial system was applied. But what can I do? It’s all my karma.
‘What the fuck karma! That should have been explained in the tutorial! This is entirely the creator’s fault!’
Quick attitude change!
‘Ah, anyway, I’m not afraid.’
As I straightened my back and looked around, I saw people at the broadcasting station filming this place. There was even a helicopter in the sky as if we couldn’t miss such a large event.
“I tried to kill half of them, but…”
The half-sexual brother Thanos told me to kill only half of them, and I intended to follow his words. My older brothers are the milestones of my life and the seniors in my life who show me the way I should go.
But if you’re filming at a broadcasting station like that, you shouldn’t commit any more murders.
Why did the Shadow Killer’s notoriety rise so high? It was because he committed murder as if he were eating rice.
Even when playing as a villain, notoriety must be properly controlled. Otherwise, there will be an unfortunate accident where you really have to kill them all. Fun things should be enjoyed for a long time, but you can’t just enjoy them for a short time.
“Ah. Come to think of it, I turned off the fire warning, right?”
Then the murder stack I’ve accumulated so far is 0 stacks! Aah… Will there be any more benevolent villains like me? Tsk tsk. Because of an unfortunate accident.
“Anyway, I had fun, so I should get out of here.”
It was unfortunate that he couldn’t finish off the Shadow Killer, but it didn’t matter.
He looked at me and said he knew something. Just looking at it, he was sure to be the final boss who would decorate the climax of the story I was going to write.
Shadow Killer and I were destined to lead to a tough relationship.
Because-

Because the psychic powers of the Shadow Killer were by no means unusual.
“Come bigger.”
I finally entered the alley after breaking the neck of the villain who was running towards me.
*****
“Oh, no!”
“Ku-k-k-k-k! Die!”
A hero is in danger of being killed by a giant villain. I hoped that my colleagues around me would help me, but I couldn’t afford to worry about that because everyone was dealing with the villain.
That’s how the hero dies-
“Igloo!”
– Didn’t greet.
An igloo was rapidly created around the hero to block the villain’s attack.
“Ha!”
After saving the hero, the Ice Queen created sharp ice and threw it at the villain. Ice was stuck in the villain’s body, and the villain screamed that he was going to die.
After neutralizing the villain, Ice Queen released the igloo. In the place where the igloo was, there was a hero with a bewildered expression.
“Ah, Ice Queen…”
“If you don’t want to die, get your mind right!”
“Yes, yes!”
“Haaaaagh!”
“… He’s so fucking charismatic.”
The hero murmured as he looked at the Ice Queen who saved him and coolly went to face another villain. There was no law saying that only women should fall for the man who appeared like a prince on a white horse and saved her.
“Keugh… Damn it…”
“After.”
After subduing another villain, the Ice Queen looked around her and let out a sigh. A fierce battle ensued, but the victory was slowly moving towards the hero.
Powerful villains such as Demon Baron, Viper, Vipner, and Gargoyle were still fighting, but thanks to the heroes coming in additional reinforcements, the balance that was barely maintained was broken.
When the situation was like that, the S-class and A-class villains who were struggling on the front line began to withdraw gradually.
‘What will happen in the future?’
The Ice Queen, who watched the scene, sighed inwardly.
In the future, the Dark City will fall into chaos that is incomparable to the current battle.
The Hero Association was aware of all the villains in Dark City. Although they did not know where they lived or who they were, they knew what kind of supernatural powers they possessed and whether they were allies or enemies.
But today, it became known that the information the Hero Association had was wrong.
First of all, Daemon Baron.
As an S-class villain, he was known for his hostile relationship with the Shadow Killer. The organization of the Shadow Killer and the organization of the Demon Baron caused armed conflict without any attempt and caused many casualties.
Of course, in the Hero Association, Shadow Killer and Demon Baron are hostile, and he used this to set up a plan for JJ.
But it all turned out to be nonsense.
Demon Baron was not hostile to the Shadow Killer. He was an ally, or subordinate of the Shadow Killer. Other than that, notorious villains had friendly relations with the Shadow Killer in some way.
It was a perfect deception that actively utilized the blood of the organization members, and the Hero Association fell for this evil trick.
The relationship that was kept secret for a long time has been revealed on the surface, so the shadow killer and the villains will reveal their true colors.
The peace of Dark City is completely broken.
‘Haa… I’ll be busier in the future…’
“Huh?”
At that time, a man, no, a villain caught the eye of Ice Queen.
It was a steel armor, a villain wearing a black suit and a mask with a picture of a skull on it.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Oops?!”
Steel Armor, who killed anyone who rushed at him, regardless of whether it was a hero or a villain, quietly escaped the scene of battle.
“…”
Seeing the back of Steel Armor disappearing into the alley, the Ice Queen instinctively followed him.
*****
“Euuuuu~! Is it because I used too much strength? I’m very tired.”
Entering the alley, I stretched out. My body was quite sore. I wanted to go home quickly, wash up, hug Alice, and go to sleep.
Damn-!
“Hmm? Ice?”
The moment I was about to move my steps, a huge wall of ice appeared in front of me. It felt familiar somehow, so I turned around with a smile.
“Steel armor.”
“It’s been a while. Ice Queen.”
As expected, the Ice Queen was standing behind me.
I don’t know what kind of expression she’s making because of the mask, but I can tell from the look in her eyes that she’s nervous.
“Your colleagues are fighting the villain behind the scenes. Are you here to catch me?”
“…”
Despite my question, the Ice Queen kept her mouth shut. Why are you in such a mood? Are you really trying to catch me?
“Would you rather save one more of your comrades than try to catch me?”
“… To you.”
“Hmm?”
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“What do you want to ask?”
What are you curious about? Ah! Maybe my phone number? Ah… Is this another woman bewitched by my charm? I wasn’t an S-class villain. He was an SSS-level chewy charmer.
Yes, as long as it’s Ice Queen, you can give me my phone number. It was a cannon phone that could be disposed of at any time anyway.
“My number is…”
“What is justice?”
“010… What?”
“What the hell is justice, steel armor?”
“…?”
I looked at the Ice Queen, who asked me what justice is with serious eyes, with curious eyes.
No you’re a hero why do you ask me that
“Justice… Ice Queen, aren’t you the hero who enforces justice? Why are you asking me, the villain?”
“If you… You who told me to execute justice, I think you can give me the answer. So answer me. What is justice?”
“Hmm…”
When did I say that to him?
Oh, I remember. She led Alice… No, when she rescued her from a drug den, she did tell the Ice Queen that she was after me to do justice.
“…”
Did you just say that without thinking? I meant to stop bothering chasing me and catch the rapist in the act. There was nothing grandiose or philosophical about it.
“What the hell is justice?”
“Hmm…”
Beads of sweat flowed from his back.
Instinctively realized.
That now is the right time for the Ice Queen to be less affectionate!
Although her height and figure were less than Elise’s, that didn’t make the Ice Queen unattractive. Ice Queen had her own charm. In particular, the silver eyes revealed under her mask had a mysterious charm.
What should I say to increase the favorability of Ice Queen?
Think! Work your brain!
As blood rushed to his brain, he began to move rapidly.
The brain thought and came up with an answer.
Just pounce!
‘Hey fuck.’
Does it hit her hard to think of it with her brain?!
“Tell me Steel Armor. What’s the definition?”
“Justice is…”
Oh I don’t know
I slowly opened my mouth to the ice queen who was longing for an answer.
