Chapter 1922 – [Return of the Great Demon King]

Although there was something important like the constitutional amendment, it was not a particularly big issue and the results would only come out after the next presidential election anyway. For now, I just need to focus on my work.

But in fact, the constitution was changed because of me, and I wonder if this is okay. In the end, state power comes from the delegated sovereignty of the people, so it is shameful that the change was made with the support of more than half of the people through petitions and voting…

“The amount of money spent on space development projects is no joke. Even though it is being implemented and invested in by many countries, the amount is still large?”

“Originally, when you run a business, you spend a lot of money. And it is the businessman’s job to spend that money properly.”

“Yes, but…”

“In addition, new companies and numerous jobs have been created due to this space development project. Because you have done this and that, the current employment rate in Korea has improved noticeably.”

“Oh, really?”

“Here’s the data. This is a table comparing the number of jobs that have increased since you were elected and the youth employment rate. You can see that the two are rising in proportion to each other.”

“Oh…”

As Zion showed, the graph is an upward curve and has never gone down. Of course, apart from that, just because you got a job isn’t everything, so I think you need to pay some attention to the turnover rate and resignation rate.

When I became president, I created jobs… I built Jurassic Park, I built a magical engineering education city, I built various things, so it seems like there were a lot of jobs.

Because if you start a business, jobs will be created. However, the important thing is whether it is a quality job, but the answer is obvious without even having to think about it.

“Dad, have you seen this? It’s a survey of the future aspirations of elementary school kids these days. It’s quite interesting.”

“Huh?”

Eden brought with him a survey of the future aspirations of elementary school children in their dreamy prime and showed it to me. I wondered if there was something unusual, but it was definitely unique as it was shown on purpose.

For kids these days, their future aspirations include Internet broadcasters such as YouTubers and professional gamers, but realistically, they include civil servants and teachers… But most of those are pushed out of the rankings.

First, it was someone with special abilities who took first place. Probably, just looking at the list of abilities, it seemed like he overwhelmingly took first place because he included both warriors and wizards.

“Rather than saying that you have to be born with talent or talent, a path to learning has been created. It’s not strange for kids with big dreams to admire sword-wielding warriors or magic-using wizards.”

“Mary, you know this well because you work there. Are there many people like that?”

“Among the kids who tried magic for the first time after entering school, how many of them cried because they were so moved and happy. About a third of them ended up crying.”

“Well… It’s not that I don’t understand.”

Martial arts and magic. Both are abilities that can be learned and acquired, but their inclinations are different. Martial arts is mostly based on the physical aspect when you first get into it, so it can be seen as an exercise or something like that, but magic is more of an academic type and definitely has a strong fantasy feel.

Having physical abilities superior to that of an ordinary person and being able to spit fire and water are two very different things, including the visual aspects. However, I hope you don’t act like an asshole with a mindset like ‘I’m different from ordinary people!!!’.

We need to strengthen the laws related to people with special abilities. If a person with this ability uses this ability for personal gain or unfair gain other than self-defense or emergency situations, he or she will be made an ordinary person. It would be simple as the warrior just needs to break the dantian and the wizard just needs to break the circle.

“Look at the jobs that are outside the rankings here. Are there things like dinosaur keeper and fururong keeper?”

“Hey, there are kids who are interested in animals.”

“Honestly, it’s an issue worth being interested in. Dinosaurs and cute things can’t be helped!!!”

Dinosaurs are popular with children in their prime, so it’s natural, and Fururong is cute. Just as the blood problem was solved when the blood donation house in Wontul was converted into Pururong’s house, its popularity is enormous. It is no wonder that there are many children who are fascinated by it and want to make it their profession.

Of course, even if you dreamed of becoming president when you were young, your future aspirations may change like anything else when you grow up, but even if just one person out of 100 achieves that, it is quite effective. First, I want my children to achieve their future dreams.

Anyway, after a relatively normal daily life… I thought it would be a bit quiet, but it was as if it was the calm before the storm and something unexpected happened.

Some kind of storm had come and Nuri had invaded. Yes, Nuri, the great devil of freedom.

She looks like Ruri with black hair, but as if she has a unique personality, the black crystals of freedom floating around sparkle and float like fairy wings. I said hello as always, looking like everything had been going well.

“It’s okay!!!!!!!”

“Hey, if you’re coming, please contact me. I’m the president right now, so I have a lot to do, so my schedule is tight.”

“I came now because it seemed spacious!!!!!”

“How do you know I’m relaxed?”

“I contacted Eden.”

“I guess I can’t tackle that…”

If we look at it closely, Nuri is my co-worker, so from Eden’s point of view, she is more of an acquaintance of her father’s, but perhaps because of her personality, we are almost like friends. Probably my fellow God-Ruriru and other Ruri are like that too… Well, it’s better than having bad relations.

In fact, he is my father’s acquaintance, so I wonder if it is okay, but it is strange that relationships between transcendents are strictly considered. If that were the case, I would also have to call Gray Taesajo.

“But what happened? You suddenly came here like this. Or did you just come to mind while passing by?”

“No, that’s not it. I heard from Mr. Phantom that he was coming back. Is that true?”

“Uh… First, I will do the work of the Great Demon Lord. Of course, I was saying that I would only step forward when the ruling was ambiguous.”

“You’re saying you’re going to do it anyway? Then help me.”

“Listen to the story.”

“There are some problems with cleaning up or something like that…”

Previously, when Phantom visited, we talked about the Great Demon King. Now that Eden has grown up to a certain degree, I also have to return as the Great Demon King.

Honestly, no matter how few times I sing, if I take a break for 20 or 30 years, I’ll be embarrassed to see my co-workers’ faces. It’s still a bit lacking, but I still have the will to go out because I plan to respond to the call when needed.

“It’s nothing else, but this time I’m trying to pass the convocation, so I came here to make a brief suggestion.”

“… Tell me this.”

There are currently five Great Demon Kings, and although I am one of the three who are special, I cannot at least ignore the opinion of Nuri, who is also the Great Demon King. In the first place, even though there is a gap in the Great Demon King, just like in a democracy, each vote is the same.

To put it another way, the Great Demon King, who is equally responsible for voting, is thinking about convening. And that is proof that the target civilization is that good.

Civilizations that cannot do so in the first place do not convene. At the point of convening, it is necessary to determine whether one is guilty or not guilty.

“I have limited means of gathering information, so I have to see it in person to know… Well, should I go?”

“Oh, I just said it, but seeing as you’re thinking about going, you must be a natural-born demon king.”

“No, I don’t like the Great Demon King!!!! If I could have beaten this, I would have beaten it a long time ago!!!!”

“Like the president?”

“… Hey, let’s not say that. I’m already wondering what I’ll do if I get elected again in the next presidential election.”

In fact, you can either respond to Nuri’s request or not. If the Great Demon King is going to judge me and not just me, he will do it himself. To put it bluntly, one Great Demon King can judge at least one civilization.

Of course, that’s an extreme situation when there are only one or two Great Demon Lords… But after the end of the First Dimensional War, when the Great Demon Lords were not far away, Utopia ran around like that and messed up. I don’t know how many civilizations would have survived if three people had judged them.

“So are you going?”

“First, since I’ve discussed it so far, I’m going to go… Where did you get that information? Visit in person?”

“No. I got it through the Ruri network.”

“Could it be that Ruri was born into such a world and voluntarily reported it?”

“That’s not it either. He was born in an ordinary world… Well, I could tell you in advance, but I think it would be better for you to go and experience it yourself. What do you think?”

“Well, okay. I guess I should go. There’s not much to do right now anyway, so I can just do it after her.”

“It’s good to make decisions in a refreshing way. Then let’s go!!!!”

“Wait a minute, I have to give my family time to talk. And since I am the president, if I am going to be away, I have to speak separately.”

“I heard you didn’t reveal that he was the Great Demon King?”

“Yeah, so I’m going to go on a business trip for a bit and say it’s about dimensional civilization.”

There’s already a lot going on right now, but if the Great Demon King comes out, the problem will only get bigger. There’s a precedent that a Demon King who becomes the leader of a nation or society is a phantom, so it’s not really a problem, but it’s a problem for this Earth, not that side.

Of course, the treatment of a simple transcendental person and the Great Demon King who judges civilization is different. Just like there is a difference between a simple gangster and a popular chief judge. In short, it is important to have power.

So, if possible, I don’t want to be discovered as the Great Demon King. Even when we came to Dark Lord Castle and Delta Castle before, that part was not known because they asked for information control, so that would be a complete waste of money.

Anyway, I told my family that I would go for a short visit. I told you about the space gangsters who tried to catch Ardolphina before, but I did not personally judge them, so from Eden’s perspective, this is the first time in her life that I am going to judge her.

“Oh… Dad, are you going to work for the Great Demon King?”

“Yes, I’ve been playing for decades, so I should return to work soon. If I spend too long on parental leave, people will notice me.”

I wonder if parental leave lasts about 20 or 30 years, but it’s a transcendental standard. In fact, if you don’t have that much time, it’s difficult to raise a child.

Of course, there is no set schedule for the Great Demon King, so I won’t do it very often, but it’s important not to do it when raising a child. If things like the Great Demon King had a negative impact, they would have, but they are not helpful at all in raising children.

“Then can I go see it too?”

“That’s not possible. I don’t want to show Dad working.”

“Hey, I want to see you… Is it really not possible?”

“Absolutely not. No matter how cute I try, it’s no use.”

I was raised kind and upright, so Eden knows what the Great Demon King is and understands me as such, but I don’t want to show how I work separately from that.

No, what kind of parent in the world shows their child doing dirty and hard work? Parents want to allow their children to see only the good things as possible.

So, even if I wanted to give Eden everything she wanted, I couldn’t do it this time. In the end, it’s for Eden’s sake, so I hope you understand.

“Okay, then I won’t make a fuss, so have a nice trip. I’ll tell you about my experience there later.”

“I don’t even want to talk about it… I guess there’s nothing I can do about it. Furthermore, I’ll finish it as soon as possible and come back.”

“When it comes to Melona!!!!!”

“I wonder if Merona is over there.”

I left the duties of the presidency to Korma and left Earth with Nuri. Nuri will know the coordinates of that dimension, so take the Horizon and leisurely move to that civilization.

In the meantime, we hear basic information from Nuri. Since you received the information through the Ruri network, you will have some knowledge about the civilization in question, so it is a good idea to listen to it in advance when you have time.

Of course it is a necessary process. It’s nonsense to tackle something that could destroy the entire civilization if you make a mistake without studying or analyzing it.

“If you look at it, you are the one who does the best job among the Great Demon Lords. Even though I hate the Great Demon King the most.”

“So… What kind of place is it anyway?”

“It is a civilization ruled by a huge empire called Aiol. There are no other races, the intelligent beings are humans, and it is a magic engineering civilization.”

“Hmm, there’s nothing particularly special about this place.”

Such civilizations are common. If you look at magic engineering, it looks like there is magic, but if you have the brains, it is not that difficult to apply it to science, so it develops into a field of study.

Simple magic only ends with individual growth, but if it develops into magic engineering, it will lead to the advancement of society and civilization. In short, is it similar to the industrial revolution that occurred when the steam engine was created?

“What is the level of civilization?”

“First, the atmosphere is modern and contemporary by Earth standards because there are nobility and imperial family? However, the magic engineering technology is considerable. If you are lucky, you can enter a dimensional civilization for about a few decades.”

“This Earth isn’t at that level yet… When I think about this, I can feel the gap between latecomers.”

Earth, which has just begun to integrate space technology and magical engineering into society, is now aiming to advance into space. However, it will be a dimensional civilization in a few decades, so the development of this ability is important.

On Earth, this ability came out and research began only 10–20 years ago. When I think about that, I feel like I should quickly develop technology and enter space and other dimensions.

“So, what is the civilization problem?”

“We haven’t entered a dimensional civilization, but we have dimensional technology. While the Aiol civilization was exploring the dimension… They discovered Earth in the next dimension.”

“Huh?”

“And with that, they are regularly kidnapping many Earthlings. Ruri, who reported the information, was also a child who was kidnapped while living a normal life on Earth.”

“It’s a dimensional invasion agenda!!!!!!!”

If a country on the same planet kidnaps an unspecified number of people from another country, it would be a huge diplomatic problem and a war is possible, so they do it on a dimensional level?

What are these crazy kids doing?!?!
