Quality terror. What I'm always pondering is how to effectively stimulate her growth when I carry out terror attacks against Stardus.

"Hmm..."

It was Seo-eun's underground facility, a place that had been idle for a while. Standing alone in the meeting room, which was primarily used for planning terror operations, I quietly gazed at the massive screen affixed to one side of the wall.

Filling the entire wall was a huge map, and on it, the faces of various villains were marked like icons.

The locations of the S-Class villains I've uncovered up to now. Given that we're now reaching the chaotic latter half of the original storyline, with many villains emerging one after another, I've marked only the ones I've managed to find so far.

My role is to decide who among them I should leave alone and who I should eliminate instead of Stardus. Even though it'll be a while before they start their activities, I believe it's better to prepare in advance. Time may become scarce later... and I might not be here.

"Shall we take a look..."

I muttered to myself while clicking the pointer. Most of the villains can be easily dealt with by Stardus, but some of them are difficult even for her. They're either overwhelmingly strong, like someone who's just too powerful, or someone like a Scream Maker who appears once and slaughters hundreds.

If I don't take care of these types, there's no other way. Since Stardus is the only one, I have to handle this. It's the same for this country if it goes completely haywire. In the story, how many times has Seoul been destroyed or collapsed?

Still, the thought that my actions might be responsible for Stardus getting a good night's sleep every night empowers me. People probably don't realize. They probably don't know that if I hadn't intervened behind the scenes, the number of deaths this month would be several times higher...? No matter how I think about it, I feel like it's a miracle that the country was preserved in the original work.

"Hmm..."

Right. I'll stop these stray thoughts.

I started my analysis in earnest. Who to eliminate, whether I should turn off broadcasts for this guy when eliminating him, or whether Stardus can handle him, and so on.

Especially considering some of these guys in the original work were like idiots, causing terror at night and then getting torn to shreds by Shadow Walker. I need to consider the possibility that these guys could carry out terror during the day due to a butterfly effect.

I earnestly examined my memories of the original work and the data. Before I knew it, some time had passed.

I leaned on the desk in the meeting room, silently gazing at the conclusion I had come up with.

"..."

Xs were marked on the icons of almost all the villains on the map. When did these guys get so powerful?

I scratched my head. Well, I have my reasons, too. As I imagine these guys fighting with Stardus, I can't help but remember their appearances in the original work, and my cold sweat starts to flow, thinking of Stardus tumbling on the ground...

In any case, I feel like some of them should be excluded. Apart from when I decide to eliminate them if I kill all these guys, who will Stardus have to deal with?

Oh, of course, there's a solution. I could carry out terror attacks in their place.

"Um..."

But this isn't as easy as it sounds.

I pondered for a moment, rolling my pen. My purpose for carrying out terror is multifaceted. One is to make my presence known, both in South Korea and worldwide, to remind everyone that I am a villain, and to showcase my abilities...
