Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain



Delmor was startled when he heard that, however, when he regained consciousness, Hikaru was gone.

He sighed, then shook his head. At this moment, he felt as if Hikaru's thoughts were extremely mature, and he was like a child filled with jealousy.

Delmor sighed and whispered, "Could it be… am I really doing something wrong?"

He didn't know where he went wrong in the end, maybe…  he was wrong to see Hikaru as an enemy.

Hikaru was right, he hadn't done any harm to Delmor but Delmor considered Hikaru an enemy.

Was it because Delmor loved justice, and he wanted to bring justice to this world?

No! It was because he was jealous of Hikaru. Why did someone like Hikaru get what he doesn't have?

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm He did not lose to Hikaru, on the contrary, he was better at school than Hikaru, better at sports than Hikaru..etc. He was better than Hikaru in almost everything, why could he only live in a normal family while Hikaru gets to live in a rich family?

At this point, Delmor had the answer. It seemed that Hikaru was not  as people thought.

Delmor thought that Hikaru was just pretending that he was useless.

The answer was exactly what Hikaru said just now.

When you are weak and useless, your true enemy will appear.

Maybe Hikaru wasn't useless, he was just pretending to be useless so that his haters, his true enemies, would appear.

They think Hikaru is useless, but when they threaten Hikaru, he would reveal his true power and take his enemies by surprise.

Like yesterday, Delmor never thought that Hikaru would be strong enough to defeat 20 armed thugs.

Fortunately, Hikaru didn't care about him, or else he would end up in the hospital with the other 20 thugs.

At this time, Delmor felt that he was the bad guy, as he was always bullying an innocent person because of his own jealousy.

Delmor sighed and shook his head, then left.

…

Hikaru was walking on the street, Rika's voice echoed in his head: [Master, why are you doing this?]

"No, I'm just trying."

[Are you trying to make Delmor your ally?]

"That's right. Delmor is different from Tadashi, in his heart he always wants to be a hero, to be looked at with admiration by others."

"For me, Delmor is like a kid trying to get other people's attention."

"That's why, Delmor is the type of person who is easily fooled, no, to be more precise, he easily trusts others."

"Besides, he has something I need."

[The Apocalypse Encyclopedia?]

"That's right. The Panara Box has the ability to automatically fuse items if we set the correct recipe. However, I don't know what the exact formula is."

"Meanwhile, Delmor owns The Apocalypse Encyclopedia, which has full fusion recipes, item information, and more."

"If this is a game, I am a Player then Delmor is a blacksmith. So he will help me forge and improve their equipment."

"If I cannot steal [The Apocalypse Encyclopedia] then I must become his ally. With that, I have a chance to use [The Apocalypse Encyclopedia]."

[Ah! So that's how it is. So… what are you going to do next.]

"Nothing. That's enough, if we intentionally come into contact with him or get too friendly with him, he'll get suspicious. I have to arrange everything naturally."

"Delmor is a bit stupid, but he's a main character anyway, he still has the main character aura. So I can't take advantage of him easily when he still doesn't fully trust me."

Hikaru didn't think that what he was doing was wrong. Delmor owned "The Apocalypse Encyclopedia", which is incredibly wonderful and mysterious.

Even in the novel, Delmor never told the other people about the existence of "The Apocalypse Encyclopedia".

So he won't tell Hikaru about the existence of  "The Apocalypse Encyclopedia" or let him use it.

Unless… Hikaru had something of equal value to exchange with Delmor. However, the prerequisite for Delmor to accept to exchange the encyclopedia with Hikaru was trust.

That's right, Delmor must completely trust Hikaru, so that Delmor would accept to exchange it for something with Hikaru.

Otherwise, everything would just be Hikaru's fantasy which would never come true. He would also never get "The Apocalypse Encyclopedia" even if he kills Delmor.

…

Hikaru sat on a bench in the park, and thought about what to do next.

Currently, Velys was worried about the problem of food. Laylah also gave him a peek into the police department's armory.

Of course, Laylah knew the army's arsenal but it wasn't in the city. Even if the apocalypse came, it would be difficult for him to sneak into the army's arsenal.

Therefore, what he aimed at was the food depots and armories of the police stations.

Hikaru also wanted to target the arsenal of criminal gangs in this city. However, those gangs, apart from a few rudimentary weapons, did not have guns.

Hikaru sighed.

For the first month or so, guns were the best weapon because evolved people hadn't developed their superpowers yet.

But as time went on, guns gradually became useless weapons. At that time, people only used guns to attack ordinary people or normal Zombies.

To kill high-level Zombies, it is only possible to use more powerful weapons such as giant bombs or special powers of evolution.

But this world is a world of many apocalyptic novels put together, even the World's Will doesn't know what will happen next, of course he can't predict the future.

Besides, Delmor or Tadashi's opportunities or items because those only appear when the apocalypse hits.

In general, for now, he could only continue to hoard as much food as he could.

Hikaru sighed and shook his head, then returned to the Noack mansion.

In the forest behind Noack's mansion, Hikaru held the ax in his hand, and began to research its use.

He did not know if this ax had any special use because the author of the novel series [Apocalypse: I own the Panara Box] did not describe it.

Hikaru held the ax in his hand, and he estimated that it probably weighed 100kg. An ordinary person would not be able to lift this ax, however, Hikaru had evolved twice thanks to the power evolution potion, so he could easily wield it.

But… What puzzled Hikaru was that the size of this ax was too small for its weight. If it was made of metal, this ax would have to be much larger than 1 meter long.

"Hm… Maybe I should try putting blood on this ax. Most of the main characters in the novels use this method to activate mysterious items."

Hikaru immediately brought his finger close to the blade of the ax, and as soon as his finger touched the blade, it  was cut.

Blood from the cut on the tip of his finger dripped onto the blade of the ax.

Hikaru waited, a minute passed and still nothing happened.

He frowned and mumbled: "Could it be... the amount of blood is too little, need more?"

Hikaru put a few more drops of blood on the ax, but after 10 minutes nothing happened.

He was starting to lose patience.

"What the hell is going on? It's not okay to use blood, is it..."

Hikaru suddenly remembered the Panara Box: "Is this ax like the Panara Box, it needs to wait for the apocalypse to activate its hidden function?"

Hikaru shook his head and sighed wearily. He felt unlucky to be the villain.

If a main character was to accidentally drop blood on any object, that object will  activate it's hidden function, and become an extremely badass item.

As for the villain, no matter how many ways he used it, he couldn't activate its hidden function even though he knew the item was not normal.

Hikaru ignored activating this ax's hidden function or discovering its hidden features.

He tested the power of this ax. Hikau approached a pine tree, the trunk of which was about 30 cm in diameter.

He swung his ax and slashed at the tree trunk, the blade cut through the tree without any resistance. It was even easier than if he was using a kitchen knife to cut the cake.

The top of the pine tree fell down after a while, revealing a cut that was unbelievably sharp.

Hikaru raised the ax to his face, and as he looked at the blade he felt extremely confused.

This ax was sharper than a surgical knife.

Hikaru found a stone in the grounds of Noack's mansion. This was also not an ordinary stone as it was a spherical granite, that was 1 meter in diameter, and it was placed in the center of the yard.

Hmm… this stone is just a decoration, nothing special.

Hikaru swung his ax and slashed at the rock.

CHENG!

Countless sparks shot out when the blade hit the stone, but the blade quickly pierced the granite, turning it into two parts.

Great, excellent, wonderfull!

Although this time Hikaru could feel the immense resistance of cutting the stone, since this was a granite stone.

He was still happy since the ax easily cut a granite stone in half without there being any chip on the blade.

Looks like… this ax is no ordinary thing, it certainly has some hidden function. It was just that currently Hikaru couldn't figure out what the hidden function was and how to activate it.

However… Hikaru now remembered the great sword connected to Tadashi.

Although this ax could easily cut a 1-meter-diameter granite stone, it could not cut Tadashi's great sword.

That means that Tadashi's sword is more powerful than this ax.

Hikaru started to feel nervous. Yesterday, he was unable to defeat Tadashi even though Tadashi had only just activated the strange sword.

So… in the future, when Tadashi was able to use the full power of that sword, how could Hikaru defeat Tadashi?

Wait!

There was one more thing that could help him defeat Tadashi. However, that thing would only appear about a month after the apocalypse hit.

That's also when  guns would start to lose their effect, as  high level Zombies would start appearing.
