## Chapter 188 – Commencing the Assault (2)
***
As if the concept of villains had never existed in the world,
The city, including S City, was experiencing incredibly peaceful days.
Even when villainous crimes occurred, they were nothing more than rampages with insignificant superpowers,
Or simply venting frustrations on those they held grudges against.
For months, peace had been maintained to the point where active heroes had to worry about their future due to lack of work,
So it was inevitable that the world, and even the heroes themselves, would become complacent.
– Kugu gugu gugu gugu gung…
– Kugwa gwagwa gwagwa gwang—!!!! Kwagwa gwagwang—!!!
“Kyaaaaaaaaah!!!”
A large-scale bombing terror began, centered around the Hero Alliance headquarters building.
Those in and around the headquarters watched the explosions, the deafening noise, and the resulting smoke,
Screaming in shock or scattering in panic.
The heroes who had been stationed at the Alliance headquarters and its surrounding areas quickly rushed to the scene,
But it was already too late to stop the terror aimed at the headquarters.
“Don’t rush, and calmly maintain distance from the person in front of you!”
“We will protect you safely! Rest assured!”
Protecting the headquarters, the heart of the Hero Alliance, was important, but
The most important thing, and the reason for the heroes’ existence, was protecting the citizens.
They calmed the shocked citizens and headquarters staff,
And began to work on evacuating them to a safe zone some distance away.
“Didn’t we say that all the explosives were removed? Are you sure you checked the entire headquarters building?”
The security guards belonging to the security department that protected the headquarters, and the field agents who assisted the heroes.
Even after the first terror attack, which had caused almost no damage, they had been on high alert for hours,
Constantly watching out for a possible second terror attack.
“Look here. We checked thoroughly… but nothing was detected until just 20 minutes ago.”
However, none of the special devices installed in the headquarters detected any explosives.
“First, check if there are any more employees inside the headquarters building and evacuate them quickly,
And prepare all available agents and heroes immediately, as the perpetrator may still be on site!”
“Yes! Understood!”
***
While the Hero Alliance headquarters was in chaos due to the sudden bombing terror,
The members of the villain organization Utopia were watching the situation with great interest.
This was because they were the ones who had caused the terror at the Alliance headquarters.
“The situation is quite unusual, isn’t it? Maybe it’s because we haven’t done anything for months.”
Siyoon, dressed in a neat suit instead of his usual plain T-shirt or hoodie.
He leaned back on the sofa with his slaves, observing the terror situation being broadcast on the news.
“Did you use that thing you made this time?”
“Yes! Just as you said, Brother… it’s a very tiny explosive.
It’s just a steel ball until I use my power.”
The identity of the explosives that were not detected by the special devices was ordinary steel balls.
They were very small steel balls, less than 1cm in diameter, but
If they were to be touched by Rui Lin, who could turn anything into a bomb, they would become weapons of formidable power.
“Originally, I could only create small explosions with small objects, but
Thanks to the power you gave me, Brother, it’s become easy to condense the explosive power!”
Rui Lin explained with a refreshed expression, as if she was in high spirits.
As Siyoon’s slaves, the females’ abilities had been enhanced,
And Rui Lin was also able to use her bomb-making ability more freely due to the influence.
Because it was caused by her ability, it was not detected by the detection devices that sensed all kinds of flammable materials,
So it was not difficult for dozens of steel balls, smaller than beans, to turn a huge building into a mess.
“Master!”
“Ah! You’re back. How was the situation at the scene?”
Dohwa, who had returned from the terror site using Chaeryeong’s ability, ‘Doppelganger’.
Using her status as an active hero, she was able to move freely inside the headquarters,
And had thrown dozens of steel balls, turned into bombs by Rui Lin, all over the headquarters.
“Before the bombs went off, everyone seemed bored.
The heroes were even saying that they might have to quit because there was no work.”
“Really? What was their reaction during the first explosion?”
“Everyone evacuated according to the manual… but they were clearly flustered.
I don’t think they expected an open attack on the headquarters during such a peaceful time.”
The reason why he, who had completely taken control of even the S-class hero Inyeong, attacked the headquarters first.
In times like these, the heroes’ mental state would be lax, as Dohwa said,
And the headquarters building had also been prepared to some extent after experiencing several terror attacks.
In other words, he was exploiting the loophole of ‘Surely they wouldn’t come out in the open in such a peaceful situation?’
“Watching is starting to get boring… shall we move out ourselves?”
Siyoon, who had been listening to Dohwa’s story, stretched out his arms and shook his head from side to side, as if he wanted to move out himself.
“Are you going to move out yourself, Master?”
The slaves were agitated by Siyoon’s words that he would move to the scene himself.
“Yeah. I’ve been sitting in the hideout giving orders all the time.
Originally, it’s good for high-ranking people to act first in important matters.”
The attack on the headquarters was the first step in his plan to annihilate the Hero Alliance, and the most important process,
So it meant that he, as the head of Utopia, would take the lead himself.
“The thought of you going yourself, Master… makes my heart flutter!”
“Nyaa! It feels like my heart is beating fast.”
He had never participated directly in activities until now,
So it was natural for the slaves to be excited and think it was amazing.
“The bigger the battle… I feel like I should take the lead instead of just standing back.
And I feel sorry for always making my precious females do all the work.”
Originally, in war, a superior who leads from the front and confidently takes the lead, rather than one who only gives orders from behind and tries to preserve their life, has a good effect on boosting morale.
And Siyoon always felt sorry for not going to the battlefield himself, even though he was always making them do dangerous things.
“Chaeryeong, you’ve already placed your clones around the headquarters building, right?
Except for the personnel who will be waiting at the hideout.”
“Nyaa! I’ve placed the clones as you told me in advance.”
Like Rui Lin, who was able to use her bomb-making ability more delicately due to the enhancement of her ability,
Chaeryeong’s number of clones, which used to be a maximum of three, had also increased significantly.
In her case, she was not only able to create more than ten clones,
But she was also able to perfectly control them all if she was in an environment where she could concentrate.
“Okay… then let’s check one last time.
When the signal is sent, stop fighting for a moment and stop using your abilities…,
And everyone remembers to move in pairs with Chaeryeong’s clones, right?”
The reason for stopping the use of abilities was that when Siyoon used ability sharing,
The original owner had a restriction that they could not use the ability.
Also, moving with the clones that Chaeryeong created was to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances,
So that they could quickly return to the hideout.
“””””Yes!”””””
The nine elite slave troops answered forcefully, listening to the words of their male master and the head of the organization.
‘They’re all amazing guys… but the opponent is none other than the Alliance headquarters.
I can’t help but be nervous… but let’s do it calmly.’
What they had to face were the many security guards and field agents stationed at the headquarters,
And thousands of heroes with considerable power.
Utopia was a very small organization with only ten members, including Siyoon,
So in fact, one member of the organization had to face thousands of armed personnel.
Of course, each of them was strong enough to turn a street into a wasteland,
And they even owned Inyeong, who was virtually the only active S-class hero.
If the Hero Alliance, which had become so lax that even personnel were leaving, was in such a bad situation,
If his plan was properly implemented, then the fall of the headquarters would not be difficult.
‘First, after capturing the Alliance headquarters, occupy all the major facilities…,
After that, it would be certain to focus on expanding our power.’
Also, in order to maintain power, they would eventually need troops like combatants,
So after capturing the most important headquarters, he was planning to gradually expand his power and replenish his forces.
“Okay.”
Siyoon calmly organized the plan he had made in his head for a while,
Got up from his seat, put the coat he had placed next to him on his shoulder, and walked outside.
“Let’s go. Let’s show them the power of Utopia.”
