## Chapter 216 – The Brainwashing Villain Lived Happily Ever After (End)
***
The war clouds that had gathered over the Hero Alliance had completely dissipated,
and more than ten days had passed since Kaiser’s leader was defeated.
December, with its chilly winds, was rushing towards the end of the year to welcome the New Year,
and I, running alongside it, was spending the winter in a place completely different from the dark and gloomy last year.
It felt like only yesterday that I was sleeping under a thin blanket on a broken electric pad,
but now I was sitting on the sofa in a living room so warm I was sweating, enjoying a leisurely rest.
“Nyaa…? Master? What are you thinking so hard about?”
“Ah… I was thinking about how I spent last winter.”
And the ten females who were living happily with me.
These women, who had become infatuated with me through my powers, were all incarnations of lust,
but in normal times, they enjoyed a peaceful life with the atmosphere of friends or family.
The funny thing was that each of these girls had their own unique appearance and personality.
From their appearances and personalities to their different stories and pasts,
the way they showed their affection for me was also very diverse, which was a fun point.
“So… is the New Year’s party food coming along well?”
“Yes! Everyone is working really hard.”
Chaeryeong and Ruilin were clinging to me and wouldn’t let go,
but the other girls were all gathered in the kitchen, working hard to prepare the food and drinks for the New Year’s party.
“Should I… take a look?”
Seraphina and Lumi, who looked like they had never cooked before, were standing helplessly with meat on the pan,
while Jiwoo, who was quite skilled at cooking, was leisurely making a salad.
Inyeong and Chaeri were chatting affectionately while setting the table with dishes,
and Do-hwa and Aquamarine were having a serious discussion about the sauce to put on the steak.
Seeing them like this… they were completely different from when they were in bed.
“Master…? I can do it…!”
Instead of Lumi and Seraphina, who clearly didn’t know how to cook meat,
I grabbed the pan and tried to salvage the meat that was already almost burnt on one side.
“I’ll cook the meat… just watch from the side.”
They looked a little dejected when they were stopped from trying to do something, even though they didn’t know how.
It seemed they wanted to cook it deliciously with their own hands if possible.
“Seraphina, watch the soup that’s boiling so it doesn’t overflow…,
Lumi, wipe this frying pan next to you.”
Their expressions brightened again as they were given other tasks that weren’t difficult.
While gently flipping the meat that the two were cooking,
I casually asked Lumi, who was scraping off the burnt parts of the frying pan next to me.
“How is… your sister doing?”
Her sister, who had gone missing in battle, had been modified by Kaiser and sent into battle,
and Lumi had barely managed to freeze and subdue her with the power of Corruption Amplification.
Three days after the ice melted, Luna had fortunately regained consciousness,
but her condition was still not very good due to the aftermath of the harsh modification and battle.
“We succeeded in removing the microchip set inside her body…,
Now we just have to wait for the drug concentration to weaken.”
At the time, Luna had special microchip sets inserted in her spine and forehead,
and the same components as the drugs injected into the modified humans were detected in her blood.
Fortunately, the hospital under the Hero Alliance successfully completed the chip removal surgery,
and Lumi had received news that they were analyzing the drug and developing a medicine to break down the components.
“Thanks to Master’s concern… I’m glad I was able to save my sister.”
Lumi’s eyes became slightly moist as she thought of her sister,
but she quickly smiled brightly again and concentrated on wiping the frying pan.
Now that she had saved her sister… it was a self-forgiveness for overcoming that sadness.
“The meat is all cooked… now we just need to put it on a plate and put it on the table.
By the way, when is Sua coming? She said she left work earlier.”
“Ugh?!”
– Thump, thumpㅡ!
At that moment, a scream was heard from the front door.
“Ouch… but I’m glad the cake is safe….”
Sua, who had finished her duties as the leader and came home late, was carrying a cake and came inside,
but it seemed her feet, which had frozen in the cold weather, got caught on the doorstep and she fell.
“You didn’t have to come so quickly.”
“I… I just wanted to come quickly… hehe.”
It had already been three days since Sua started living with us in this hideout.
I told her that it might be inconvenient to commute because it was a bit far from the Alliance headquarters,
but she chose to live here, saying that she was also my female and should live here.
“Then… now everyone can put it on the table and sit down.”
On the table were the steak and soup that had been salvaged to some extent,
fruit with a sweet fragrance, and a whipped cream cake that Sua had bought.
I poured a white wine with a sweet and subtle acidity into their glasses,
and cut the whipped cream cake and placed it on the plates.
Then, I raised my glass and wished for my happiness and theirs.
“Everyone… please take care of me in the future too.”
***
When I first became an adult and came to a city full of people,
I had a different dream alone among the many young people who went to college or jumped into work.
That was to become a ‘villain’ who ruled the world with powerful strength and charisma.
Watching the evil and charismatic villains in the movies I saw as a child,
I thought that I would become a villain like that and make the world tremble with fear.
It looked like they were happy to me… and it looked very fun.
Usually, people would want to become a hero of justice who defeats villains,
but looking back now, I think I was a little different from those ordinary children.
But there was one major disqualification for me to become a villain.
In this world where a kind of magic called superpowers is manifested in some people,
it was virtually impossible to become a villain with powerful strength without superpowers.
All I could do was at best a petty crime that didn’t require a hero to be dispatched,
or joining a villain organization and becoming a small-time combatant was the best I could do.
Choosing the latter path, I waited for the day when superpowers would be manifested in me,
and gritted my teeth and survived among the fellow combatants who were injured and killed by the heroes.
And then, after waiting for several years, the crisis came.
In that crisis, I happened to encounter a ‘failure’ created by someone,
and the crisis and the failure soon returned to me as an opportunity.
Using the power I gained in that way, I brainwashed A-class heroes who I wouldn’t have dared to touch before,
and made them my female slaves who were loyal to me by violating them as much as I wanted.
The executives of the organization who ran away without facing the crisis that had come to the organization,
and the heroes who had a somewhat sad and painful past.
I used all this power to make them slaves who poured unilateral loyalty and affection on me.
The females who initially refused my touch and resisted to the end,
or the females who opened their hearts to my sweet words and sensual instincts.
In the end, they were enjoying a much happier life than before.
But what I wanted was not just to build a harem.
To achieve that dream, I attacked the headquarters of my slave corps and the heroes,
and succeeded in capturing them so easily that I wondered if it was okay.
But the feeling I felt at that time was quite complicated.
Are the heroes really so easily defeated?
Or is the power I have so strong?
Is it okay for me, who was just a small-time combatant, to have such tremendous power?
I was very proud that I had finally completely overcome the heroes,
but I think I was more concerned about the emptiness and the future.
If I was with this powerful slave corps, I wouldn’t be afraid of anything,
but if the unit grew beyond the country I live in, things would be different.
Then, the young and beautiful leader of the Hero Alliance came to me and made a proposal.
She would give me herself, the leader of the Hero Alliance,
in exchange for not destroying the Hero Alliance and giving it back to her.
Listening to that negotiation, I came up with a very reasonable and interesting idea.
Instead of making her, the new leader of the Hero Alliance, my slave and making her loyal,
I would make her have strong power in the Alliance and become her behind-the-scenes power.
In other words, I would become a villain who shakes the Hero Alliance in my hands.
I gladly accepted her opinion and mixed my body with hers,
and embraced her, who had a painful past like the other slaves, as my female.
But the war clouds that were coming to the Hero Alliance did not end at my level.
Kaiser, the leader of the organization I used to belong to and the twin sister of the female who became my female.
She seized the high-ranking executives of the Alliance who did not like the new leader,
and led thousands of modified human corps to invade the Hero Alliance.
I and the slaves cooperated with the Hero Alliance to defeat them,
and finally succeeded in suppressing the person who had brought me the crisis and the opportunity.
Many things changed because of this.
I succeeded in avenging Kaiser, who had abandoned the organization and ran away in the past,
and secured Lumi’s sister, who had been modified by her and turned into a human weapon.
In addition, all the corrupt high-ranking executives who made up the Hero Alliance were expelled,
and Sua, who had been on the leader’s seat for a short time, gained strong power by enduring two battles well.
And I became the true power who could control her as much as I wanted.
Someone might say that.
Why did you cooperate with the heroes and make the unhappy people happy,
while you were going to become an evil villain who ruled the world with powerful strength and charisma?
You only used the dark and dirty method of brainwashing,
wasn’t it too ridiculous to dream of ruling the world?
There is a very clear story to answer those questions.
A villain is someone who does not care about the means to achieve what they want.
What I want is to do fun and happy things,
and I just pursued happiness by making the most of the accidental opportunity that came in the crisis.
I have committed enough atrocities to make people shudder, befitting the name of a villain,
and I am brainwashing those with powerful strength and manipulating them as I please.
Besides, even the leader of the great Hero Alliance has made me a female who loves me…,
Isn’t that enough?
Anyway, in this world where heroes exist… I survived as a brainwashing villain.
