## Chapter 1507 – Sword God’s Foreign Travels – The Otherworld’s Demon God

ㅡUghhh…!
ㅡBartender! Where’s the bartendereeee!!!
ㅡMommy! Mommy!!
ㅡB, Bartenderrr!
ㅡSave meeee!
ㅡMom! Mommm! Mommmmmm!!! Mom is the bartenderrrrrr!!
ㅡWas my mom actually a bartender?! Memory confusion!
ㅡAaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
ㅡKyaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! Save me!!!

I indifferently walked past the Korean staff who were overturned and wailing. A mountain made of corpses. It wasn’t like I hadn’t crossed one or two of those before.

“Right.”

As expected, Korean pride is the best for Koreans.

You’re not Korean if you’re not drunk on Korean pride. Koreans are beings with such fiery hearts. Everyone lives with a Gate of Do You Know in their heart. If there’s ever a chance, they’ll gladly pull out the knife in their heart and swing it at foreigners.

ㅡAaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
ㅡBartenderrrrrrrr!
ㅡBartenderrrrrrrr!
ㅡAaaaaaaah! Where’s the bartenderrrrr!!!

They’re definitely not overreacting.

A global superstar. Beyond that, a great, powerful, and ridiculously handsome god from another dimension. A Heavenly Demon. The epitome of cool. If such a being arrived, it was only natural that everyone on the scene would freak out like soldiers seeing a sexy girl group. People freak out even if they just get a Cyburger during religious activities in training camp.

Did the Koreans who were ecstatic about South Korea’s advancement to the World Cup semi-finals fake their joy? No. They were sincere.

And now.

ㅡBartender! Bartenderrrrrrrr!!
ㅡBartenderrrrrrrr!
ㅡAaaaaaaah! Where’s the bartendereeee!!!

The junkies over there looking for the bartender are also sincere.

This confirms it.

I can control the emotions of Koreans. My popularity will skyrocket, and if I use that popularity to build a grand temple for the Heavenly Demon Church, I can suck in countless believers. Thus, I shall spread my fusion Confucianism in this distant otherworld land.

Truly, the completion of benefiting mankind.

“Hahahahahahahahaha!”

I savored my cheerful mood and headed to where my women were.

I wonder what kind of Korean pride I’ll use to mess with Koreans next.

* * *

“You’re really making a mess everywhere we go, you blackie.”
“Hey. Winia. I didn’t do anything weird this time? The Earthlings who fell for me just freaked out on their own? What can I do if the charisma of my existence is just like that?”
“Your mouth is really… *chuckle*. Well, I guess so.”

Winia said that and laughed.

The refreshment room wasn’t that far from the interview location, so they had been enjoying desserts while watching my interview from beginning to end.

“Anyway, were you eating well?”
“Hehe, yes. I was eating well while watching you do your interview, Katt.”

It seemed like they had already cleared several plates each.

“You’re really good at acting. Anyone would think you were coming to Earth for the first time. Hey.”
“Hehehe, that’s the acting skill of Entertainment Heavenly Demon Kim Katt.”
“You’re so funny. You’re getting into acting. What are you going to do when the truth is revealed later?”
“What’s there to reveal? I came here as a god.”

There’s nothing to reveal.

“Still, be careful. There are already speculations on the internet that you’re actually from Earth.”
“Those rumors aren’t even worth looking at, Risha.”

The internet is practically a space for rumors.

“Anyway, should I eat something too?”

As I was about to sit down and eat something, Cloudi came trotting over and held out a fork to me.

“Katt. This. Aah.”
“Oh, what’s this? They have sweet and sour chicken too?”
“Liz got really into seasoned chicken, so they made it. This also seems really delicious.”
“It is delicious. Ah.”

I immediately took the sweet and sour chicken.

Yeah.

That’s the taste.

“Well, overall it was a satisfactory refreshment party. The desserts on Earth are really outrageous. However, it’s a shame there’s no alcohol. Earth alcohol was quite good.”

Kadie was disappointed that there was no alcohol.

She was very satisfied after sweeping up alcohol at the department store yesterday. But after hearing the explanation, it turned out that the liquor store didn’t have any real top-quality stuff. Hearing that story seemed to have made her impulse even bigger. She even vowed to try the real alcohol of Earth.

“Should we go to a real liquor store next time?”
“If you do, this saintess would be very happy.”

Kadie grinned.

That’s when it happened.

ㅡThump, thump.

A suit-wearing man walked over from over there.

“Heavenly Demon-nim.”

He came right up to me and handed me a love letter.

What?

“Please accept this invitation.”
“Ah.”

Is it starting right after the interview?

I thought I’d have some time.

“This is an invitation from Governor-General Park Ik-soo to Heavenly Demon-nim.”

It’s time to have a meeting with Governor-General Park Ik-soo.

ㅡSwish.

I immediately opened the invitation and read the letter.

An invitation written very politely. Even though we’ve already agreed on everything, is he asking like this? He knows some manners. Actually, what ruler wouldn’t be polite to an existence more powerful than a nuclear bomb?

“Good. Lead the way.”
“Understood. I will guide you to the conference room.”
“Ah, damn. I have to go right away. I’ll be back in a bit.”

I followed the guide.

* * *

As the door opened, the Governor-General walked out from inside.

“Oh! You’ve arrived. It’s an honor to formally meet you. Let me introduce myself again, I am Park Ik-soo, the Governor-General of Korea.”

He smiled and held out his hand.

“Good to see you, Governor-General.”

I immediately grabbed his hand and shook it.

As expected, he’s not that strong.

The current Governor-General of Korea is only a Governor-General in name, but in reality, he is closer to an elected monarch. But since the A-class or higher Awakened people of the association do the voting, it was truly a bizarre political system.

It seems like the Governor-General has no choice but to listen to the S-class Awakened.

Is this a concept of setting up a figurehead? The powerful Awakened are practically behind-the-scenes power brokers. They control the Governor-General from behind without doing any troublesome work.

Still, he has to run the country, so he may be excellent in that area.

Awakened people are reigning as absolute monarchs all over the world, but they are not uninterested in state administration. They want to enjoy the beautiful modern civilization with their superhuman bodies. To do that, a proper country must be maintained.

The Awakened monarchs of the Third World have all collapsed. Because they did not properly run the country, the land was devastated by monsters.

Anyway, seeing that Korea is running well means that this friend is quite capable.

Let’s see what kind of guy he is.

“Then let’s go in.”
“Alright.”

I went into the conference room with him. Should I call it a conference room? It looked wide and sturdy, but it seemed like a suitable place to have secret talks.

Above all, there was no one here.

“Oh. Just the two of us.”
“Yes. Wasn’t it just me who made the promise?”
“That’s right.”

Anyway, I sat down.
The Governor-General sat across from me.

“I watched the interview well. Indeed. It was amazing. You knew about General Yi Sun-shin. It was really surprising and proud at the same time.”
“Hehe, I didn’t know the Earthlings would like it that much.”
“He’s our country’s greatest figure. I think they felt a great sense of pride in the fact that Heavenly Demon-nim knew about him. Not only that, but you expressed sympathy for the spirit of benefiting mankind…”
“It has something in common with my beliefs. I also want to benefit the human world.”
“Indeed.”

Park Ik-soo had no fear even though he was dealing with me. He continued to speak skillfully with a smiling face, and he praised me constantly.

There was only one thing I felt while looking at him.

This guy is a capable friend in his own way. In fact, if you’re going to be the Governor-General in Korea, which has become such a superhuman upper society, you have no choice but to be capable. Those who were not capable were all weeded out by the appearance of the enemy called monsters.

“Benefiting the human world. That’s a really great saying. I felt it while watching the interview earlier, but Heavenly Demon-nim forbade wars between humans, didn’t you?”
“That’s right. No one can go against my words.”
“That’s a really interesting story. Then, Heavenly Demon-nim, how do you resolve conflicts when interests or stakes collide between countries? As that side is also a society where humans live, disputes will inevitably…”
“Conflicting interests between countries?”
“Yes.”
“That’s absurd. I am the country, the world, and the law. What interests can conflict? To me, kings and nobles are no different from business managers in your world. Do businessmen start wars with each other because their interests conflict?”

Samsung friends and Apple friends don’t fight each other with rifles.

Even if they fight in court.

“Oh… I think I understand when you say that. Indeed. That’s how it is.”

It seems like he has a lot of questions for me.

“But all that control is possible because…”
“Because I am the most powerful god. A god with the ability to suppress all complaints.”
“…”

Park Ik-soo opened his mouth at that word.

“A reigning Superman…”

Superman.

“Superman?”
“Ah. There’s a movie like that. You know movies, right?”
“Saving Private Ryan. It was interesting.”
“Oh! You know it!”

Park Ik-soo’s eyes widened when the story of Saving Private Ryan came out.

“It was interesting. Especially the way the frontline soldiers fought was very realistic. I clearly understood what a weapon called a gun is.”
“That’s right! It’s definitely realistic! It’s a movie worth that much! It’s won a lot of awards!”
“And Deep Rising was also fun.”
“Deep, yes?”
“The Mummy was also worth watching. A movie called Van Helsing was also good.”
“The, the Mummy… are you talking about the movie with Imhotep?”
“Oh. You know it.”
“Yes… I used to watch it often when I was young…”

Imhotep.

Imhotep.

Imhotep.

I can’t suppress the urge!
But I’ll endure it!

“Ah, anyway, there’s a movie called Superman. Like Heavenly Demon-nim now… he’s an alien superhuman with absolute power. He has a good heart, so he uses that power to help people. You could say he’s an icon of hope, a popular character.”
“Hehe, am I like that Superman?”
“It’s similar, but not exactly the same. Superman isn’t interested in power.”
“I see.”

So that’s why he muttered reigning Superman.

Anyway, let’s get to the point.

“Governor-General. You didn’t call me here to talk about movies.”
“Of course not. I just had a few questions about Heavenly Demon-nim, so I said it. Then let’s get to the point.”

I wonder what he’s going to ask me.

ㅡSwish.

Suddenly, the Governor-General got up from his seat and bowed.

“I’ll ask you directly.”
“Ask?”
“I need Heavenly Demon-nim’s help.”

Of course, I expected him to ask for something.

Depending on what this guy asks me here, the fate of Korea may change. Looking at him, he doesn’t seem like such a flawed guy.

“Tell me.”

Then shall I listen.

“Heavenly Demon-nim said you came to help the Earthlings.”
“Of course.”

The Governor-General is trying to get confirmation again.

“So I’m asking you. I hope you can help us purify the North Korean region, which has become a land of monsters in the north of Korea.”

The ruined land of North Korea.

He’s asking me to help recover it.

“The people are having a hard time because of the monsters that are constantly spewing out of that place…”
“Me.”
“…”
“Are you asking me to deal with the monsters?”
“…Yes.”

Now, countries in places like North Korea, China, Russia, Mongolia, Africa, and South America have collapsed, and monsters have taken over that land. The monsters that are constantly growing in that monster land are threatening the lives of Earthlings, and this was something I was going to solve soon.

Park Ik-soo asked me to do that.

But.

I need to shake him up once before that.

“I understand that there is something called a minimum wage in your world.”
“Yes? Yes. That’s right.”
“How much is it now?”
“It’s 7,000 won.”
“I understood that it’s average for an ordinary worker to work for an hour and eat a meal. Is that right?”
“That’s almost right.”
“But you said your defense budget is in the tens of trillions of won.”
“…Yes.”
“Thousands of won and tens of trillions of won. Haven’t you been able to conquer the monsters in the North Korean region with such costs?”
“That is.”
“Or.”

I stare at Park Ik-soo’s eyes.

“Is it that you could do it, but you didn’t?”
“…”

Silence falls.

“If you didn’t, that would mean that you didn’t fulfill your duty as rulers. Is that right?”
“Th, that is…”
“Those who reign must have a sense of responsibility and justice. They must take responsibility for the country and the people and rule with a belief derived from justice.”

ㅡTsupat.

To create an atmosphere, I deploy eye light and a halo.

“Ah, ah…”

Park Ik-soo opened his mouth and looked at my halo.

“Just because you have power. If you try to reign without taking any responsibility for that reason alone, that’s just a robber. And I deeply hate and despise robbers. So tell me, Governor-General.”

ㅡShake.

Park Ik-soo’s eyes shook.

“Was your government of the Republic of Korea fulfilling that responsibility? Right now, facing the threat of monsters occupying the North Korean region. Did you use that enormous defense budget properly?”
