The World's Greatest Hero Is Actually a Villain?

Pain...

The first thing Ethan felt after taking a closer look at Lilith was pain.

Looking at her righted body covered with scars, at this moment he did not care about overdrive.

Rather, he felt a deep pang of regret well up from within his heart.

"Lilith... you’re hurt"

"I’m so sorry"

"I knew bringing back someone like Overdrive wouldn’t be easy, yet I still let you do it alone"

"I...!"

Floating in the air, he stretched out his right arm, wiping the blood off the corner of her lips.

Looking at her current state, it’s obvious that she had gone through a lot to fulfill his order.

Even now, as she floated in front of him with overdrive in her arms, he could sense her aura flickering unstably.

The god particles in her body were at an all-time low.

Had her regeneration abilities not been very good, perhaps she would not have even been able to make it back here.

"It’s alright Ethan, I saw everything that happened on the live broadcast"

"Right now, only you can save the day"

"Just like before"

"Also haha! Isn’t it just overdrive, or do you think I’ve become weak!"

Laughing to cheer him up, Lilith couldn’t help but smile.

Indeed, she was happy that Ethan cared about her so much.

However, now wasn’t the time to reminisce.

If they didn’t act soon, the whole city would fall."

"Don’t worry about me, I’m fine. Rather you do what needs to be done"

"I’ll go and help Tempest clear up the other monsters in the city"

"On my way here I saw him running with cracks all over his body, he too is already reaching his limits" said Lilith.

To which, bearing this, Ethan nodded as he knew if he tried to make her rest she might even decide to join his and Sentinel’s fight.

Her agreeing to help Tempest away from the main battle was the most she could concede.

A situation that, despite knowing the result, Ethan couldn’t help but sigh unwillingly.

"Alright then, however you absolutely must stay safe and watch out for those League of Villains bastards"

"Although right now there’s only one Dr Lannister, who knows if there’s more hiding in the dark"

Giving a final word of advice, he acted.

Boom!

Looking at the unconscious overdrive, and knowing he was the one who injured Lilith to such a point, Ethan had no hesitation.

Collecting Overdrive’s body from Lilith, he directly used his super strength and popped his head like a balloon, turning it into paste.

[Detecting plunderable ability]

[Ability overdrive, S rank]

[Description: By burning any element of the user, a temporary increase in strength can be gained, not limited to physical strength, life force, mental strength, blood, muscles, even your very existence can be burned.

Note: While there is no limit to the strength gained from being burned, be careful not to burn yourself.

Are you a five-minute man? This ability is for you!]

Reading the description of the ability with his datafication, Ethan couldn’t help but clench his fists.

Such an absurd ability, truly wasted in Overdrive’s hands, only in the hands of someone truly strong could it be used.

Just imagining if he was at one hundred percent of the former Imperion’s ability and he burned his physical strength.

It would be possible for him to even cross the legendary level 6, and perhaps even defeat this mysterious monster mentioned in the diary.

"However, what does this damn mean by a five-minute man?"

Reading that part, his lips unknowingly twitched.

’Regardless, five-minute man or suppressing level five. All that’s for later discovery, right now I need to deal with that monster.’

Thinking this, he had no hesitation.

"Plunder!"

Giving the command, his ability began to act.

"Argh!! Fuck! I cannot get used to this pain!"

Cursing out loud, his entire being seemed to be enveloped by soul-crushing pressure.

It seemed that his soul was being spliced and reorganized, with the injection of new elements taking place every second, making his soul feel slightly bloated.

Veins popped out the side of his head, as negative emotions rushed through his mind.

In a trance, he seemed to want to destroy everyone and everything, his reasoning slowly vanishing with every second.

"Damn side effects! I totally forgot about this thing!"

"Because of this whole raid, and Lilith gone, I forgot to hunt that mind-calming ability!"

"Arghh! I can’t afford to lose control now!"

Recalling what happened last time, Ethan knew he was in trouble.

Clawing at his head, he struggled to maintain his sanity, however, it was anything but easy.

At this moment, the unwilling thoughts of everyone overdrive killed plus overdrive’s own obsession seemed to be attacking him, constantly trying to erode his mind.

If it was anyone else, they would have long since turned into a mindless killing machine.

However, who was this? This was none other than the mighty Imperion.

Fortunately, this didn’t last too long as the pain slowly began to fade and the negative emotions were gradually suppressed.

Yes, suppressed, as the current Ethan couldn’t eliminate them completely.

[plundering...10%...35%....71%.....]

Within a few minutes, a new ability had been added to his ability slot.

And sensing this new ability, he didn’t waste a moment, as right now he sensed Sentinel was on his last flicker of light.

"Lilith I’ll talk to you later, thanks again, and watch as I destroy that monster!"

Not giving her a chance to react, he didn’t check his datafication panel, nor did he wave goodbye.

Instead, sensing his ability, began to burn his blood, as he released a puff of red smoke around his body.

"Good, fortunately, this imperial body of mine has a high recovery ability so I can maintain this stage without much issue"

Muttering slightly, he gazed at the monster’s direction, and flew towards it at full speed.

Boom!

With the sound of the sound barrier breaking as he flew towards the monster, the horn of counterattack had already sounded for New Geneva!
