Chapter 1366 – 1366. God’S Atlantis
I sat in the chair.
David knelt before me, and Jackson was quietly watching me from the corner.
I didn’t kill David.
Originally, I planned to torture him for about three hours and then kill him… but thinking about it, David seemed like a pretty useful guy.
‘Nar Entertainment. Along with Venus Entertainment and Lilith Entertainment, they’re one of the top entertainment agencies in District 6700. In other words, they’re my competitor.’
David had been doing the dirty work for Nar Entertainment. He knew all of Nar Entertainment’s corruption.
In other words, if I used David, I could take down Nar Entertainment, a powerful competitor to Phobitz. It would make things several times easier.
‘I’ll postpone killing him for now. Let’s kill him after I use him.’
I told him I would spare his life.
If he had his unique ability, the lie detector, he would have known that I was lying. But he didn’t resist. He didn’t even question it. He just bowed his head and accepted my words.
‘I was going to chop off one of his arms if he argued with me, but he’s a lucky guy… or is he just perceptive?’
Maybe he thinks he can get out of this situation and run away.
“Pledge your loyalty.”
“I pledge. I will gladly lick your feet.”
“Lick my feet? You? Just imagining it makes me feel sick.”
“…I’m sorry.”
“Anyway, you’ve pledged your loyalty to me. Right?”
“Yes. I pledged. Please, just spare my life.”
「You have met the conditions for the transmission of the Demonic Wind God Technique.」
I reached out my hand to David. A black aura rose like a heat haze on my palm. The black aura flew towards David and was absorbed. Tattoos that looked like swirling winds appeared on both of David’s wrists.
Demonic Wind God Technique transmission.
It was an SSS-rank skill I possessed. The effect of the ability was to transmit the Demonic Wind God Technique to those who pledged their loyalty.
The target could quickly become stronger using the Demonic Wind God Technique, but there were some side effects.
One of them was that they would develop a demonic nature, and if their mind was consumed by that demonic nature, they would become a demon.
And the other side effect was that they would prioritize the orders of the Heavenly Demon.
‘In short, it means he becomes my slave. Well, the coercive power is weaker than subjugation, but still.’
I stared at David. David, who had been forcibly transmitted the Demonic Wind God Technique, went beyond kneeling and prostrated himself at my feet.
‘He’s not getting excited and is perfectly controlling himself. He’s quite talented.’
I was slightly impressed.
That was all. The plan to kill him when he was no longer useful was still in place.
His unique ability, the lie detector?
I don’t deny that it’s a useful unique ability. Just considering its applications, it’s amazing. It would be helpful in all sorts of situations, like interrogating opponents or negotiating.
But it’s not such a great ability that I’d be desperate for it.
‘There are things that a lie detector wouldn’t be able to detect… and it’s not even an S-rank, it’s an A-rank.’
I had no regrets.
“Why did you choose to install hidden cameras? Were you trying to blackmail Lilith Entertainment with the hidden camera footage? Surely you weren’t planning to blackmail Phobitz directly?”
“That kind of footage isn’t enough to blackmail anyone. Even if it was well-shot, it wouldn’t be nude, just underwear… I was going to release the footage as soon as I got it.”
“Why?”
“To damage their image as pure idols.”
“…I see. Image is important for pure idols. Is that all?”
“Yes. For now, that’s all.”
I suddenly felt annoyed. I kicked David’s legs repeatedly. It relieved my stress a little.
“David, was it? I won’t say much. Phobitz has to be number one in District 6700 within a month. Cooperate accordingly. Get rid of anyone who gets in the way. If Phobitz doesn’t become number one? You’ll live forever.”
“……Does living forever mean…?”
“Curious? I promise you won’t be disappointed.”
“……”
David trembled with fear.
Anyway, that settled things for now. I looked around at the scattered corpses and said to David.
“Clean this up.”
“…Yes. Please leave the cleanup to me.”
“You said you could provide sexual favors, right? I’ll be at a nearby hotel, so bring me some women. It would be nice if they were popular actresses.”
“It will take some time.”
“How many hours?”
“Please wait just two hours.”
“I can wait that long. If you bring me an ugly one… I’ll kill you right away. Seriously.”
I waved to Jackson, who was trembling in the corner, and then left the house.

D-day.
The day of their debut had dawned.
The dorm was bustling from 7 a.m. They had woken up much earlier than usual and were moving around the dorm without rest.
“……”
Joo Seo-hyun sat on the sofa with a stiff face, staring at the TV. The morning news was reporting on Phobitz’s debut. I wondered if this was news-worthy information, but this was District 6700. Entertainment news was more important than anything else here.
I turned my head to the side.
A delicious smell wafted through the air. Yuri, wearing an apron, was preparing breakfast. The delicious smell of seaweed soup stimulated my appetite.
“Producer!”
Mi-ryung called out to me. Her hair, which had just been washed, was still damp, and her body was barely covered by a towel. She was holding a hanger with underwear on it in each hand.
“Which underwear do you think is better? Choose for me!”
“Underwear… Does it matter? You’ll be wearing shorts under your stage outfit anyway.”
“You’re going to see me, Producer. So it’s important to me. Which one do you like better?”
I looked at the underwear with a more serious gaze. Both were mesh panties that were slightly see-through, and the designs were similar. The only difference was the color. Black and red. My finger pointed to the black one.
“This one? I was thinking black too… We’re on the same wavelength.”
“Isn’t that too sexy for an idol to wear?”
“It’s okay since I’m not going to show it to anyone.”
Mi-ryung went into her room.
Thump. Thump-thump. Thump-thump-thump.
My gaze turned towards the dining table. Elena, who had woken up the latest, was sitting at the table without even fixing her messy hair. Her fist was pounding on the table. Her brow was furrowed without mercy.
“What’s wrong?”
“…I, the head of the Valdert family, will be on stage dancing in a few hours… becoming a performer… How can this be happening…?”
“Don’t you think it’s too late to escape reality? And no one will recognize you. It’s your illusion.”
“…Illusion. Yes. I’ll deceive the entire District 6700 with an illusion.”
“Even so, you can’t deceive 10 million people by yourself. Why are you suddenly so anxious?”
“Haa. Don’t you think our practice is severely lacking? A debut like a flash in the pan… If we had more practice time, we could have been more perfect… Yes. If we’re going to do it, we should become perfect idols. But we only had a week of practice… and half of that was just memories of having sex with you… What kind of idol is this…?”
Elena, who had perfectionist tendencies, continued her lament for another 10 minutes. I discovered an unexpected side of her.
After finishing breakfast, I took the Phobitz members to the salon. They got their hair styled by professionals and checked their stage outfits.
“This is the stage outfit…?”
Joo Seo-hyun, shocked by the stage outfit, staggered.
“Get a grip, Unnie!”
Mi-ryung supported Joo Seo-hyun’s back.
“This is… serious.”
Elena shook her head with a sigh.
“……Do we really have to wear these clothes?”
Even Yuri frowned.
I deeply sympathized with them. The stage outfits were so tacky that I wanted to tear them to shreds.
‘What is this? A fairy?’
They were sparkling dresses that looked like something a fairy from a fairy tale would wear. The overall design was childish and tacky. The finishing touch was the wings attached to the back of the dresses. The wings made them look more like cosplay outfits than stage outfits.
Etwal had designed these stage outfits. Because of a promise I had made with him, we had to wear them.
“It can’t be helped. We have to wear them.”
“…Just the wings. Let’s just take off the wings.”
Joo Seo-hyun reached out to grab the wings.
“No! Unnie! We can’t debut without these outfits!”
“Eek! W-where are you grabbing?!”
“Unnie’s chest is a bit big. But it’s still smaller than mine.”
“Let go…!”
“Hey, why are you like this? We’ve already seen everything.”
“Ugh….”
Joo Seo-hyun looked at me with eyes that were begging for help. She couldn’t ask for help because of her pride, so she just sent me a look. I went behind them and touched Mi-ryung’s chest.
“Kyaa!”
Mi-ryung screamed, but she didn’t back down.
Squeeze, squeeze.
I squeezed Mi-ryung’s chest, and Mi-ryung squeezed Joo Seo-hyun’s chest.
Swoosh.
Yuri came up behind me. She reached out and touched my chest.
“Haa… Master….”
I heard Yuri’s sweet voice in my ear. My dick was about to get hard.
“What are you doing?”
Elena, who was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, sighed as if she was dumbfounded by us.
“We’re playing train! Elena Unnie, do you want to join us?”
“No thanks. Who would play such a vulgar game….”
“You did it on the bed last time.”
“……I wasn’t in my right mind then. Forget about it.”
Elena shook her head.

TKT Broadcasting Station.
Phobitz was debuting at TKT Broadcasting Station. To be exact, they were debuting on TKT Broadcasting Station’s music program, ‘Music Kingdom.’
Their stage was the first stage.
If you were going for impact, the last stage would be better, but the last stage was for the performance to win first place on the music show.
‘From next week, Phobitz will be on the last stage.’
It was a bit annoying, but debuting on a music show was essential. The viewership rating for music shows in this district was a whopping 50%.
‘50%… That’s an unbelievable viewership rating on Earth… but it’s possible in this district. After all, the center of District 6700 is the entertainment industry.’
“That’s nice. Usually, rookies share a waiting room with other teams…”
Samara looked at the waiting room door with curious eyes. The paper attached to the waiting room door only had the word ‘Phobitz’ written on it.
Phobitz had been assigned a pretty good waiting room. It was proof that TKT Broadcasting Station was paying attention to Phobitz. There was a bathroom and shower next to it, and there was also a TV and a refrigerator.
“Phobitz isn’t just any rookie.”
I went into the waiting room. The members were sitting on the sofa, each showing off their individuality. I checked the time. There were still 50 minutes left until rehearsal.
“Sung Yu-jin.”
Joo Seo-hyun called out to me.
“I told you to call me Producer.”
“…Producer.”
“What is it? Seo-hyun.”
“I heard that rookies usually go to greet their seniors… Is it okay for us to just stay here like this?”
“It’s okay. You don’t have to do that. Just relax.”
To hell with customs.
About 20 minutes had passed.
Knock knock knock.
Someone knocked on the waiting room door.
“Who is it?”
“It’s Pink Love! We came to say hello!”
It was a cheerful female voice.
Pink Love.
They were an idol girl group under Venus Entertainment. They were currently the most popular girl group in District 6700. And they were Phobitz’s biggest rivals.
I gestured to Samara. Samara opened the waiting room door.
