Chapter 1372

<Episode 1372> 1372. Spirit’s Atlantis

Fovitz’s schedule was packed tighter than a sardine can in a tsunami.

Variety show appearances, ad shoots, event activities – and when you add individual member schedules on top of that? The daily lineup swelled to over ten back-to-back gigs.

“This is exhausting, but popularity sure does stack up steadily.”

「Fovitz Popularity: 1,510,149」

「Fovitz Popularity Rank: 15th place.」

Thanks to this grind, Fovitz had climbed to 15th place in the rankings. With variety shows airing next week, they were poised to skyrocket their fame even further. At worst, they’d break into the Top 10 for sure.

“But this isn’t enough…”

That’s why they were prepping a new track.

Their debut song “Date” was catchy as heck, but it was too mainstream. This time around, they needed something so shocking it would make all 6,700 districts drop their chopsticks in awe.

“The answer? A sexy concept!”

In the long run, it wasn’t the smartest choice.

For an innocent idol group to pivot to a sexy image usually meant they were past their prime. But with Fovitz’s rising popularity, there was no real need to switch concepts yet.

“In normal circumstances, yes. But Fovitz doesn’t have time to waste! With the members’ skills, pulling off a sexy dance routine will be as easy as pie.”

When Lilith Entertainment refused to provide a sexy-themed track, Yuria stepped in personally, handing over her self-composed masterpiece. Her original composition was so sticky-sweet and seductive it could melt brains like butter. And as a bonus? Super addictive.

I choreographed the dance moves.

Sexiness equals sex appeal, after all. And when it came to sex appeal, I had more confidence than a peacock strutting at sunset. Sure, I consulted some experts here and there, but the members caught on to my choreography like pros.

“This dance feels easier than ‘Date’! What do you think, Seohyun-ssi?”

“…Even I find this one more comfortable.”

“The ‘Date’ dance felt too kiddie.”

“The choreography our Master created… It’s subtle, but oh-so-sexy. Incredible work, Master.”

I didn’t go for overtly scandalous moves. Who benefits from THAT kind of choreography anyway? Instead, I crafted something understated yet sultry.

“Subtle allure draws more attention. Thanks to all the sexy dances we’ve practiced before, the girls are nailing it effortlessly.”

I couldn’t wait for next week already.

“Gender PD!”

Samarra burst into the practice room, her face pale with urgency. One glance at her expression told me trouble was brewing.

“Calm down and explain. Whose ass needs kicking?”

“Huh?”

“Ah, sorry, slip of the tongue. What’s up?”

“There’s chaos online right now! The incident at Sophia’s Restaurant has gone viral!”

I checked the internet. The real-time search trends were absolute carnage.

1. Fovitz Tia Verbal Abuse


2. Sophia’s Restaurant


3. Pink Love Yeon Yuri


4. Yeon Yuri Tia Feud Theory


5. CocoBank

The video of yesterday’s heated argument between Elena and Yeon Yuri at Sophia’s Restaurant had leaked onto the web. But here’s the twist – instead of posting the raw footage, someone had skillfully edited it to portray Yeon Yuri and Sophia as victims while framing Elena as the tyrant.

“A devilishly clever edit. That person must have God-tier editing skills.”

I hunted for the source of the video. After a few searches, I found it. The culprit was a notorious YouTuber who specialized in uploading only the most provocative clips – snippets from variety shows, drama scenes, live streams, anything guaranteed to stir controversy. In short, a cyber troll extraordinaire.

“This isn’t leaked footage from the broadcasting station. The video quality is trashy, and it looks like it was filmed covertly.”


It seems like someone secretly filmed this while under orders.

“Wow, Elena-nee, you really went all out!”

“…Couldn’t you have held back a little?”

“Elena-sama, perhaps you should’ve used an illusion instead.”

Each pulling out their smartphones to check the situation, Miling, Jusohyun, and Yuria were playfully criticizing Elena. Elena’s face twisted in irritation.

“No. While I did let my temper show a bit… it wasn’t THIS extreme. So this is what they call devilish editing… Spreading malicious rumors is usually my go-to method, but experiencing it firsthand is truly irritating. Eugene, how about we end this idol game and just crush them? I’d be happy to help enthusiastically.”

Elena was giving a chilling smile, one that radiated murderous intent.

I naturally shook my head.

“Hold up. I’ll handle the guy who spread this video myself.”

Getting Elena’s cooperation wouldn’t be bad, but I wanted to see Povitz dance at the next stage. And as Povitz’s manager and producer, this is something I need to clean up.

“Choosing the harder path? You?”

“I started this. Let me finish it. Trust me.”

“…Alright. Since you’re insisting, I’ll trust you. But can you even fix this? They say idol management is all about image, right?”

“Well, yeah, but this isn’t as serious as I thought.”

「Povitz Popularity: 1,804,577」

「Povitz Popularity Rank: 13th」

Povitz’s popularity had actually risen.

With Povitz becoming a hot topic again after their debut, the public was reminded of them. People interested in sensational stories began searching for Povitz.

‘This isn’t serious since no actual punches were thrown.’

In Zone 6,700, celebrity sex scandals or sexual sponsorship incidents happen every day. Compared to those, this is child’s play.

‘Besides, Elena’s image has always been that of a rude noble. Some fans actually like her attitude more because of this.’

While not exactly turning a crisis into an opportunity, the situation isn’t as dire as expected.

“Samarah, is this some kind of warning?”

As I stayed calm, Samarah also calmed down and nodded in response to my question.

“.Seems that way. It’s too weak to completely bury Povitz… feels more like a warning. Since the devilish editing can be debunked with the original footage and statements from the parties involved, maybe they’re trying to slow Povitz’s growth?”

“Who do you think is behind this? The broadcasting station?”

“It’s unlikely to be the station. Sophia’s restaurant program would also be negatively affected, so this is probably Venus Entertainment’s doing.”

Venus Entertainment.

The top entertainment agency in Zone 6,700.

Just because they’re the best doesn’t mean they don’t engage in dirty tactics. In fact, they excel at such things precisely because they’re the best.

“I was hoping to keep things peaceful… guess that’s not possible. Samarah, watch the kids. Bring them back to the dorm when you have time. I’ve got something I need to take care of today.”

After greeting the members, I exited the practice room and immediately called David, the director of Nar Entertainment.

“It’s me.”

-…Yes, Producer PD-sensei. Is this regarding the Sophia’s Restaurant video currently circulating online?

“Find and capture the kid who uploaded and edited the video. If possible, get his family too.”

-…Even the family?

“Yeah. Look for their friends and relatives too. They messed with Povitz, so naturally, we need to exterminate their entire clan. Should we burn them alive? Or boil them? Which do you prefer?”

-…I shall do as you wish. By the way, are you outside? I can hear the wind blowing.

“I’m heading to Venus Entertainment. Watching the video, it looks like Pink Love’s manager secretly filmed it. So I plan to make an example by wiping out about half of them first.”

-…Immediate bloody retaliation, huh? Attacking Venus Entertainment without hesitation… you’re quite impressive.

“Are you mocking me?”

-I apologize if it came across that way. I was purely expressing admiration. After all, Venus Entertainment is the strongest force in Zone 6,700.

“Enough chatter. Just do your job well. If you can’t handle something this simple, you’re the one going into the boiling pot.”

-I will give it my Full Strength…


I shall provide proof.

After hanging up, I entered the alleyway next to me.

I activate Unique Skill: Deception (SS). I alter my appearance and voice to conceal my identity. Then I stepped out onto the road where cars were passing.

SQUEAL!

A car screeched to a halt. Fortunately, it was a red supercar.

“Is this lunatic begging to die?! Get lost right now?!”

A blonde, tanned delinquent stepped out of the driver’s seat shouting. The passenger side held a woman who looked like a punk but sat primly.

“…Wait. Isn’t that the model from Venus Entertainment who lost the skin lotion ad to Yuria?”

I grinned as I approached the supercar.

The tanned delinquent with muscles came toward me, his face twisted in anger. His muscular body and the glove on his left hand were intimidating enough to scare normal people.

“You little bastard! You really want to get beaten up? Huh?!”

I grabbed the delinquent by the neck.

“GURK?!”

In panic, the delinquent started punching and kicking me. It tickled at best. The physical gap between me and the delinquent was like that between a goblin and an ogre.

“I use Heavenly Demon Art (SSS).”

Dark demonic energy leaks out of my body like smoke.

Using the Heavenly Demon Art after such a long time felt incredibly good. I felt like I could do anything.

“The car and the girl are mine for a bit.”

I threw the delinquent I had caught. He flew diagonally to the right and crashed into a building. Part of the building began to collapse with a loud sound.

Smiling, I sat in the driver’s seat of the supercar. The woman in the passenger seat tried to escape. I grabbed her long brown hair with one hand.

“Where do you think you’re going, bitch? You’re going on a drive with me.”

“S-spare me!”

“Your survival depends on your performance down there.”

The woman swallowed hard and removed her clothes. She had quite the situational awareness. Feeling pleased, I sped through the sidewalk. I killed five passersby. The naked woman climbed atop my member following my gestures.

“I thought you were a somewhat famous model… Not a virgin, huh? Still, your pussy is pretty decent, so I’ll let you live.”

While driving with one hand, I checked my smartphone with the other.

1. Super Car Rampage


2. Super Car Sidewalk Charge


3. Five Pedestrians Dead


4. Building Collapse


5. Super Car Villain

“Ho ho. Any issues related to Elena disappeared instantly. Well, how can celebrity feuds compare when something like this happens in the middle of the city?

I punched the roof of the supercar with my clenched fist. The roof flew off, turning it into an open-top car. The wind felt nice.

“KYAAAHHH!”

“Hey. Do you wanna die? You’re not moving your hips properly?”

“Sniff! P-please don’t kill me! I’ll move my hips!”

CLOMP CLOMP.

The woman cried while holding onto my shoulders, moving her body up and down. The wind blowing was rather cold, but in contrast, her pussy enveloping my dick was hot.

‘It feels like lying under an air conditioner during midsummer while covering myself with a blanket. No, it’s even better than that.’

We passed the Venus Entertainment building. I wanted to enjoy more sex drive with this woman.

WEE WOO WEE WOO!

Police cars chased us from behind.

“Red supercar ahead! Stop immediately! We will fire if you don’t stop!”

BANG BANG BANG BANG!

They opened fire before they even finished speaking. They didn’t see the hostage vigorously thrusting her hips on my thigh. Besides, it wasn’t ordinary bullets. If my Protective Energy hadn’t surrounded not only my body but also the car, it would’ve exploded.

“Hah, damn cops. Ruining the mood.”

Heavenly Demon Black Bullet (天魔黑彈).

I gathered Heavenly Demon Energy at my fingertips and fired it at the police. Back in the day, it was only as strong as bullets, but now that I’ve grown, it’s different. I can amplify it to cannon level instead of just bullets.

BOOM! KABOOM! BOOM!

The pursuing police cars explode.

“HAHAHAHA! I am the Heavenly Demon!”

I enjoyed the sex drive. This long-awaited GTA session relieved all the stress I had built up. When I checked the real-time search trends after circling the city about three times,

1. Heavenly Demon


2. Model Rua Rape


3. Police Annihilation


4. Casualties 247


5. Heavenly Demon’s Identity

Area 6700 was in an uproar because of me.
