### Summary
In his fourth attempt to prevent an asteroid from destroying Earth, protagonist Cheolsu grapples with a significant strategic shift, driven by his ally, the pro-gamer Taekhu. Still hampered by memory loss from his time regressions, Cheolsu's mission takes an educational turn as Taekhu demonstrates a deep knowledge of astrophysics, providing detailed explanations that form the basis of a new, controversial plan. This emerging solution appears to abandon the goal of saving the planet itself, instead focusing on the survival of a small portion of humanity—perhaps 10,000 people—likely through the use of space habitats. While this pragmatic and grim proposal may cause friction and test Cheolsu's recently developed humanistic motivations, Taekhu remains a committed partner in finding a viable outcome. This development further complicates Cheolsu's teamwork skills, which were already noted as potentially regressing, putting a strain on the new alliances crucial to his mission.
