Chapter 302 - [21st Round] The Perfect Hero

The beginning was always the same.

I sat on the throne on the top floor of my father-in-laws villa, with the First Spirit resting on my head.

And in this position, all my copies waited for days on end for heroes to come.

However, when I personally controlled one of them, additional people appeared.

My cowardly wife.

Shadow A.

Captain Fantasy.

Rice Cake.

Green Cake.

But now, I had lost almost half of them.

This is annoying.

You have a frightening expression on your face, hubby. Anyway, I have good and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?

Start with the bad news.

As with food, I saved the dessert for last.

Since you lost Hippolia and Green Cake, your combat power had dropped by 0.48%.

Thats much lower than I thought.

I thought it would be at least 5%.

Green Cake was attached to my aunts strength, and she took over the body of the puppet herself, so her powers been limited.

That was understandable

Wheres the director now?

That brings us to the next news. My aunt ran away. Shes currently somewhere in Fantasy, but I dont know where she is.

That was within my expectations.

Time to hear the good news!

Or are you not done with the bad ones yet?

Judging by the way my cowardly wife rolled her eyes, the good news wouldnt come soon.

Theres still more bad news. My traitorous husband has no other heating pads anymore. If you dont want to sleep alone in the future, you better treat your wife well.

My G.o.d

That news was worse than the one about me losing combat power!

Should I continue?

Go for it.

We had already gone down this path. It was only proper for me to see it to the end!

While you were fighting with my aunt, thirteen students were able to graduate. This means that you died thirteen times just sitting on the throne.

Tsk

Because of that, a guide for the 5th curriculum has appeared, which youll be able to find using your smartphone. The graduates were nicknamed the 13 Legendary Heroes because they turned out to be much stronger than the other heroes.

This is ridiculous.

If I controlled my copies, they never wouldve been able to pa.s.s.

I was a little annoyed by the fact that my juniors graduated only through sheer fortunate coincidence.

Im not done with the bad news yet.

Huh? Theres more?

The Fantasy Inst.i.tution is now accepting students from other planets besides Earth.

Accepting? More like kidnapping.

Okay, Ill call it kidnapping. The Fantasy Inst.i.tution usually switches to other planets only when the number of people they can kidnap has been depleted. However, due to several operational errors and the directors years of absence, the schools reputation has been severely undermined. Even the outside world has begun to view it as kidnapping, not enrollment.

Isnt that good news?

That meant that the Fantasy Inst.i.tution, led by the First Angel, might meet its end soon.

If this were still my aunts world, it would be. But things are different now. You have a chance to usurp control, and youre just going to give up like that?

Hmmm.

Ill continue. Since its reputation has fallen, the school will again only abduct the inhabitants of the Earth until its situation stabilizes. After all, that planet is this establishments go-to place, considering weve been working with it for a long time now.

All this information is making me feel like my heads splitting up.

And now for the worst news.

Some of the G.o.ds have started showing interest in the Fantasy Inst.i.tution.

Hows that the worst?

Well Among them, there are many strange and unpredictable creatures who became G.o.ds, having reached perfection. Imagine my aunt and father while theyre deeply distraught. Now multiply them by the dozen.

Thats really dangerous.

I just wanted to return to Earth to my parents and be a civilized citizen. Why did I keep having to go through all these trials?

Also

Youre still not finished?

This is the last one.

Alright, fine.

Your battle against my aunt ruined 69% of the system, which means we should expect it to have a lot of bugs and errors. Due to its current state, even though Im its developer, I cant predict what will happen next.

Ruined?

One of you fought so hard that he was willing to sacrifice everything. We can consider ourselves lucky for having only 69% of it destroyed.

Is that all?

Yes. Im done with the bad news. Stop nervously fiddling with your fingers now. Youre going to make me start feeling nervous as well.

Bad news, huh?

I closed my eyes and tried to calmly lay it all out.

It was really bad.

I felt like this situation couldnt get any worse.

Ssosia, who had caused her wonderful MAX-Cla.s.s husband to develop a neurotic disorder, continued in a cheerful tone.

And now the good news!

Well, lets hear it.

I wondered what news could possibly be positive in this situation devoid of all hopes and dreams.

My crazy aunt still hasnt come to her senses.

How do you know?

Because the owners.h.i.+p and control over the Fantasy system have almost been pa.s.sed completely to me. If my aunt were okay, this wouldnt have happened. Even if she regains her sanity now, she wont be able to do anything.

Hmm

A logical question arose.

If she had taken control of the Fantasy system, why couldnt she find the directors hideout?

As I said, 69% of the system has been destroyed.

Oh!

But Im sure of one thing. Now my aunt is locked in the Fantasy Inst.i.tution just like us. After the cla.s.sroom was destroyed, my aunts puppet hid somewhere on one of the continents.

Then its time to go treasure hunting.

I thought my insurmountable sacrifices were all for naught, but after my cowardly wife explained the situation, I realized there was still hope.

It seemed that luck hadnt left me yet. The President of the Universe was still showing an interest in me.

That wasnt all.

Type: Race

Name: Perfect Deity

Rank: Mythic

Mythic 1: Perfect Hero.

Mythic 2: Perfect Demon Lord.

Feature 1: Sponsored by Universe Co., Ltd.

Race 1: Perfect Human.

Race 2: Perfect Darkness.

My races characteristics had some form of obsession with perfection.

Its arrogant statements about perfection didnt make me uncomfortable, though.

I felt like it was as meant to be.

You are now a deity, after all.

According to the system?

No. A true deity. From the moment you inherited my fathers divine essence, you were already a deity. You were divided and weakened, which prevented you from feeling it. This time, however, another divine trait appeared.

Perfect Hero?

Yes, said Ssosia, her eyes s.h.i.+ning.

What are you doing?

My hearts beating faster because my husband, whom I considered a cowardly traitor, was able to achieve perfection.

Hmmm

Was that enough to turn my cowardly wife on?

G.o.ds born of nature, such as my father and auntie, are weak, considering they dont have complete control over their innate attributes. Those like you, who became G.o.ds by achieving perfection, are different since you reached the pinnacle of excellence through your own efforts. It all depends on what type of perfection one strives for, but only perfection can cope against perfection.

What do you mean?

An imperfect being can never defeat those who became a deity.

Because theyve reached perfection?

Yes.

It was a weirdly logical concept.

Even though I became a deity, I couldnt feel it.

Do you have any more good news?

Sure. Look. This is the photo your mom posted yesterday.

What?!

I didnt know where Ssosia got the mollanphone from, but I grabbed it and looked at the messages.

Mom: Where have you disappeared this time, son? (7:25)

Mom: Are you sick? Are you in pain? Tell your mother. (13:47)

Mom: Son, Ill kill you someday! (10:53)

I didnt reply for a long time, so she was understandably upset.

That aside

Son: Im sorry, but I have found the perfect woman, prepared for me by fate, and Ive fallen head over heels for her. (13:29)

Who was the person sending such stupid messages under my name?

Mom: Oh, youre still alive. (15:34)

Mom: Son, is that girl really so perfect that you forgot your mother and my daughter-in-law? (15:36)

Son: Shes the second most beautiful woman in the entire universe. (15:37)

Mom: Who the first? (15:38)

Son: You, of course. (15:39)

Did my impersonator have no conscience at all?

My mother might have been a beautiful woman in the old days, but she was by no means the most beautiful woman in the universe.

How could they be so shameless?

Mom: My son has finally matured. I love you (15:40)

Mom: Whats your relations.h.i.+p status? (15:41)

Son: I married her. I was drunk, and it happened by accident. (15:43)

Married drunk?!

I hoped my mother wouldnt believe what this impostor says!

Mom: Ah! Well, since its already happened, theres nothing we can do about it. Dont make her cry and take responsibility. (15:46)

Son: Yes. Thank you for your approval. (15:47)

Mom: Whats the name of my new daughter-in-law? (15:49)

Son: Ssosia. (15:50)

Seriously?

Mom: Be attentive to Ssosia. (15:51)

Son: Of course. If I dare cheat on her, please hit me as hard as possible with your tennis racket. (15:53)

Mom: Will do. Haha! My son has really grown up ^^ (15:54)

Son: Thank you for your kind words. (15:55)

Ssosia!

Dont yell at me yet, hubby. Just keep reading.

What the h.e.l.l are you doing with my account?

I rea.s.sured your mother, who was angry at you since you were unreachable for ten years. Because of it, she even commended you for growing up.

You coward

What? She found peace of mind.

What peace of mind Hmm? Wait.

No matter how advanced science had developed on Earth, a persons life span couldnt be increased by tens of thousands of years.

However, she was still sending me messages.

I investigated this mystery.

Mom: Look at this photo of your little brother when he started elementary school. The Minister of Education is standing in the corner of it. (9:54)

Mom: And this photo was taken on the beach during his summer break before entering 2nd grade. Wherever we go on vacation, he always attracts the attention of girls who call him cute. (9:58)

I saw a series of family photos with comments from my mother.

But that was weird.

As my brother grew older, my mother and father seemed to get younger.

Ssosia gave me an explanation.

Its only been a century.

Hmm Have my parents become vampires?

Judging by their photographs taken in broad daylight, that didnt seem to be the case.

What happened?

Oh! You got it all wrong. One hundred years have pa.s.sed here in Fantasy, but only ten years have pa.s.sed on Earth.

What?!

Tens of thousands of years shouldve already pa.s.sed because of the director!

With a grin, Ssosia replied, Such a sacrifice was too much for her.

What?

Time is the same for everyone, which means she loses as much time as you do. What do you think wouldve happened if she had left her position for that long?

Ah!

The Perfect Hero was prepared to sacrifice everything, but the First Angel wasnt.

Thats really good news.

My family was still alive.

I was more delighted with this news than with being promoted to Perfect Deity.

My brother didnt make me happy, though!

His expression was like a brooding old man. No matter how hard I looked for it, I couldnt find any cuteness in him.

I couldnt understand why my mom was so obsessed with him.

Thats the end of the good news.

Its more than enough.

In high spirits, I slowly rose from the Demon Lords throne.

I was prepared to sacrifice everything, but I didnt lose anything.

No, that was wrong.

I lost Rice Cake and Green Cake.

Are you going to search for them?

Naturally.

I wouldnt let go of the director so easily.

Urgently: Cadet Kang Han Soo! I have very important news!

What? Trainee Teacher has news for me too? Is it good or bad?

The Perfect Hero was ready to listen to everything!
