The World's Greatest Hero Is Actually a Villain?

"I need you to find, kidnap, and bring to me, the villain Overdrive!"

Hearing this, Lilith’s eyes went wide, as the only person who knew what his real ability was, asking her to bring him a villain could only mean one thing.

"Wait a minute, do you want to..?"

"But wait? Weren’t you at your limit before? I don’t think your body can handle another ability?"

"Or did you find a way to break it?"

Not giving him a chance to reply, she continued talking as a lot of questions ran through her mind.

"Also why that lunatic Overdrive? You and I know just what kind of person he is."

"Not only does his ability do more harm than good, but even you, if you wanted to capture someone like that, wouldn’t have an easy time."

"How do you want me to do that?"

Looking deep into Ethan’s eyes, she really wanted to know what was going on through his mind.

Did his attempt to break through level 6 also mess up his mind?

’Wait I think one of the new recruits in Nexus has healing abilities, I’ll call her over to check his head.’

’If not I’ll ask Gia for a favour.’

With a look of worry on her face, she took out her phone from her pocket and started looking for the name Gia.

Although she didn’t really like most of the people in Elysium, Gia was at least manageable to her.

It was only because of that that despite her unwillingness, she was ready to ask for a favour.

However, Ethan, seeing her expression rapidly change, guessed what she was thinking.

After all, he had read the original story and knew what kind of person Overdrive was.

"Villain Overdrive, with the S-rank ability Overdrive."

"By burning his life force, vitality, physical strength, soul strength, or even other elements of himself."

"He can rapidly increase his strength, theoretically there’s no limit to how much his strength increases as it depends on how much he’s willing to burn."

"At his current level 4, if he’s willing to burn his soul and everything, he could potentially reach level 5, because of that most heroes are careful when dealing with him."

Remembering bits and pieces from the original novel, Ethan knew he was indeed a troublesome character.

However, it was precisely because he had such an ability, that he needed to plunder it.

At least with his newly gotten Imperial Body, he should be able to burn more physical strength.

’Also if it’s able to burn anything? Can it burn the powers I’ve plundered? If that’s the case wouldn’t I be able to plunder weak abilities and keep them as fuel?’

Thinking of this, Ethan had more of a reason to get his hands on this power.

In order to prepare for the raid a month from now, and in order to get stronger, he had to do this.

Now the only thing left to do was convince Lilith.

"Listen, even though Overdrive is crazy, but considering my current strength and condition, is my best bet."

"After all, you know what the name Imperion means to this world."

"If word comes out that I’m weakened, just imagine what would happen?"

"The chaos? The death? The war?"

"Everything we have created up till now would be washed away in a matter of days."

"Even the other heroes of Elysium, wouldn’t be able to do much, and that isn’t considering that some of them are already traitors."

"I don’t have a choice here!"

Said Ethan as he placed his palm against the window, overlooking the city skyline.

Yes even though he wasn’t the real Imperion, and even though he wasn’t sure he was qualified to be a hero or even wanted to be one.

However, this was his new life, and he wasn’t about to let anything disrupt it!

No matter what.

And Lilith, listening to these words, knew he was right.

How much the name Imperion meant to this world, she knew the most as the person beside him always.

If word came out that Imperion was even slightly weaker, all kinds of snakes would slither trying to create troubled waters, stirring up the pond.

A situation, she also didn’t want to see.

"Alright, I get what you’re saying, and it’s not like I wouldn’t help you regardless."

"Who told us to be so close haha.." she laughed.

"It’s just that I was shocked that’s all, but if I really want to get rid of Overdrive it should be quite easy, after all I’m best suited for assassinations anyways."

"I should be able to kidnap him before he reacts."

"But I’ll only do it on one condition," she paused, stepping closer to look Ethan straight in the eye.

For a moment, their pupils locked, as the soft breathing of both of them could be heard across the room.

"I don’t know when you’ll eventually break through level 6, or when you’ll recover."

"However, promise me this."

"Promise me you won’t use Overdrive more than you have to."

"Promise me you won’t fight people who force you to go past your limit."

"If you encounter someone too strong, tell me. I’ll be there to help you, with me by your side, you won’t need to try as hard."

"Promise me you won’t end up burning away yourself in the process."

Saying each word, Lilith’s gaze remained stern, it seemed to say that if he even dared hesitate then she wouldn’t help him in this plan of his.

A look of concern made Ethan, who had just been thinking about strength, calm down.

Indeed, this was the Lilith who cared about Imperion more than herself.

With such a level of concern, it’s no wonder she sacrificed herself for him in the final Chapter.

However despite knowing this, Ethan could not agree to her words.

Her words were something not only would the former Imperion not agree to, but he who inherited this body couldn’t find himself able to agree.

"Lilith.."

"I know you mean well, but I’m sorry..."

"I can’t promise you that.."
