Subin’s valid suspicion.
It’s actually the kind of doubt anyone would have.
It’s like asking a child who just learned addition and subtraction yesterday to try solving problem 30 of calculus on the college entrance exam today.
It was a logically sound argument.
How could Stardust, who barely stopped a train, stop a plane?
However, my response was simple.
“Stardust can do it.”
That’s what a main character of this comic is about.
Towards the latter half, enemies capable of stopping time, ruling over space, and causing natural disasters on their own flood into this world.
Later on, even godly beings emerge, driven to destroy the Earth in this crazy universe.
And the hero, Stardust, stands alone to protect South Korea, to protect Earth.
She is the protagonist.
Essentially, this world revolves around her.
There’s just one thing that makes this possible.
There is no limit to how much her power can grow.
The protagonist doesn’t die.
To interpret that in reverse, any pain that can’t kill her only makes her stronger.
So, as long as she has a desperate and tenacious ‘will.’
There is nothing she cannot stop.
“Stardust can do it. So we just need to believe in her and crash the plane.”
As I spoke earnestly with a serious face, Seo Eun looked a bit sullen and asked,
“Are you kidding me? What about her do you trust so much to say that?”
I merely chuckled off the question with a slight smile.

Preparations went smoothly.
Faux bombs were made, smoke generators were secretly attached to the wings to simulate an explosion.
Before takeoff, I teleport inside the plane to set up various devices, ensuring the pilots fall asleep midway, and tampering with the control panel in advance…
These were the results of my plans, combined with the help of two geniuses, plans which I could come up with after having read so many hero comics and movies.
Honestly, for a terror plot like this… one could say it almost reached the level of artistry.
The terror itself was perpetrated quickly, as planned for a long time.
It felt strange to conduct a terror attack remotely, something I had never done before, but well, that’s something I had to accept. I can’t be on a crashing plane, right? Safety first. Love it, love it!
“Hello everyone! Welcome to the biggest quiz show on land—no, the biggest quiz show in the sky at 25,000 feet, live from The Ego Show!”
I effortlessly spoke these lines in front of a camera in the open, but now…
Speaking into a microphone in a cramped room deep underground, I started feeling somewhat embarrassed.
With Seo Eun and Subin looking at me constantly, I wished they would stop.
It was so nerve-wracking! It killed my vibe!
“The rules are simple! There will be a total of ten nonsense quiz questions for you to answer!”
“And if everyone gets them wrong? Boom. The bomb explodes!”
I spoke earnestly into the microphone.
On the screens in the base, the passengers inside the airplane were being live-streamed in real-time.
By the way, this video was also being broadcasted nationwide by hacking into the three major terrestrial broadcasters.
It seems they had every technical expert stick on to prevent signal hijacking…
Yeah, Seo Eun and Subin made fools out of them. Adios, amigos…
But honestly, I didn’t even need to go this far. If I just live-streamed on YouTube, they would probably broadcast it urgently themselves…
Oh well.
