Chapter 2164 – [Welcome to Dimensional Civilization]

The Stral civilization we first encountered when entering the dimension was a human-based, but monarchy that included heterogeneous races. The continent was unified by the Stral Kingdom, so there is a class system of its own, but there is no absolute distinction… It is a civilization that feels a bit ambiguous.

In short, would you say that class boundaries have become blurred? It was a place where, like the bourgeois class, it was mixed with capitalism and the standard for the gap was class + money.

There is class, but it is not absolute, and even if there is money, it is likewise not absolute. Money and class. It is a civilization that can be treated as a high-ranking person only if it has both.

This isn’t all that bad. Aren’t there at least two options for moving up, money or class? It is better than being tied to something innate, such as your status, and being a prisoner for the rest of your life.

“Our Stral civilization had problems with racial discrimination in the past as there were other races. However, as human rights gradually developed, their rights were also guaranteed, and now the problem of racial discrimination has almost disappeared.”

“I see.”

“Even on our ships, if a dispute arises regarding racial discrimination, we severely punish those who discriminate. It is a bad thing to refuse understanding and discriminate just because of a different race.”

It’s clear why you say that. Because I’m the Great Demon King, I’m making excuses by saying, ‘We’re not that bad of a civilization.’

Well, seeing as Captain Aulos also never lies, it was true. If racial discrimination is being addressed and resolved to that extent, I have no intention of making it an agenda item for the convocation.

Just like the Noidera of the previously destroyed Aian civilization, they completely ignore other races and view them as lower-class creatures, so that becomes an agenda item for the convocation… Anyway.

Afterward, I was guided to a ship other than the one we were on. Even though the ship was a dimensional navigation ship, it looked like a recreational ship like Horizon, and it felt like it was decorated with various facilities. Of course, the facilities are much worse than Horizon, but it’s not enough to show that.

“Nice to meet you. I am Giorg Bor Strahl, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Strahl. It is an honor to meet one of the five great Demon Lords.”

“There is no need to be too polite. I am not here as a Great Demon King or a Lord, but as a representative of a place that has just entered dimensional civilization.”

“But you are sitting in a place where you deserve respect… Oh, you can’t stand and talk, so please come inside.”

If you are a crown prince, you are the heir to the kingdom. No matter how class boundaries have become blurred, the caste system still remains, so its authority cannot be weak. Would it be like Britain, where there is a prime minister and at the same time power lies in the royal family?

If he were to inherit a dimensional civilization, he wouldn’t be ignored, but he was very polite to me. I can see the will not to disturb my doctor in any way.

Afterward, I was guided to the place with the best view on the dimensional navigation ship.

The hall, which appears to be covered with a glass dome, has a ceiling that is illuminated in a rainbow color unique to the dimension, creating a brilliant atmosphere. Inside, things like antigravity panels move at a slow speed, providing a little entertainment for guests who climb on top of them. There was. It looks quite cool as it has a party-like atmosphere.

Several such antigravity panels were connected to create a large space, and I had a light meal with Prince Stral. What would you say about the feeling of climbing to a place so high that the person above you, or rather below you, looks as small as your finger… I guess people with a fear of heights just won’t be able to climb up.

“I have heard the news about Choeak for a long time. It is a place that prominent dimensional civilizations such as Dark Lord Castle, Delta Castle, and Dragonic Castle have visited in person, and I was aware that it happened in a dimension near us. However, we have not yet entered into a dimensional civilization. I thought it would take decades…”

“Honestly, we only developed the dimensional jumping technology to a certain extent, but other things are lacking. If it takes time, it would be better to advance to a dimensional civilization and receive support and develop, so we deliberately focused on that.”

“It is a good choice. We can also serve as a window for Korea to take its first steps as a dimensional civilization.”

For anything, the first time is special. Since Korea was the first civilization we encountered when we entered the next dimension, and it was close by, it was worth interacting with them often and for a long time.

Of course, I have connections in prominent dimensional civilizations, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to always receive things as if they are bestowed from above. I think it’s okay because we can develop together with the Stral civilization and maintain good diplomatic relations.

“But… I was really surprised. There were so many transcendental people and transcendent species belonging to the dimensional civilization that had just entered…”

“They are all family members of my house. So, with the future in mind, we have created a separate transcendental training facility and are doing various things.”

“Is this a transcendental training facility like an academy or something like that?”

“No, it’s more direct. It’s like a labyrinth or dungeon where you can grow by gaining various experiences such as combat and exploration in an artificial environment.”

“Oh, actually, our Stral civilization is also a dimensional civilization without transcendents. Would it be okay to send people from the Stral civilization to study abroad at that facility during exchanges?”

“There is no reason to refuse. However, it would be better to discuss more detailed issues later while building a separate embassy.”

Oh, was the Stral civilization a dimensional civilization without a transcendental entity? Dimensional civilizations without transcendents, such as the Shenless civilization, are more common than you might think… This is because the number of transcendents is small in the first place.

Eden is the only place where we, too, are transcendents who are purely from Earth. I am a reincarnated person, and my family is all transcendental people who followed me, except for the transcendental species. Cheonma is also from Earth, but considering that they are from other earths, it is common for there to be one on a planet or civilization.

That’s why Delta Castle and Dark Lord Castle, which are full of transcendental people, are the peak of dimensional civilization. There are many other factors, but without a transcendental person, the voice in the dimensional civilization is weak and there are various disadvantages.

Anyway, after that, he separated from the crown prince for a while and met many nobles and influential people of the Strahl civilization. Everyone approached to build friendships, promising support with various technologies and resources in what felt like a bribe.

“We have entered a dimensional civilization, but I think related technologies are needed for full-scale exchange and development. So, we will provide support with dimensional analysis technology.”

“Our Stral civilization is a civilization based on magic engineering. Since Korea also uses magic engineering technology, how about forming a related technology partnership?”

“Mr. Choi, there is a mine of magic ore that I am mining. It is a metal with high mana conductivity, so it will be useful in the development of magic engineering, so I will give you 5% of the mining amount for free for the next three years. Oh, is it a price? Haha, just developing it. “Isn’t that kind of support natural for a dimensional civilization that has just begun?”

No, in the first place, I was planning on using it for the connection itself. After making connections by providing such business or resource skills, you can say to your competitors or competing companies, ‘We are doing business with the devil!!! If we attack, the Great Demon King will look at you negatively, right?

If you get something just because it’s free, it can be a hassle later on. You can eat and wipe your mouth, but in a dimensional civilization, you will be noticed, so you have to eat in moderation to avoid getting sick.

Everyone knows that I can detect lies, but not everyone tells lies. However, if you hide the truth or say something like ‘I didn’t lie’, I have a hard time because I can’t understand the details.

People from the dimensional civilization are like this… People from the non-dimensional civilization are like one-day puppies who attack because they don’t know, but here, they know so well that they have ways to deal with it and don’t do stupid things out loud, so it’s annoying.

While we were talking about various political issues, I glanced down below and saw that our crew was having a conversation with people from the Stral civilization. As I spoke separately, I didn’t seem to be rude, and thanks to the general-purpose interpreter, there didn’t seem to be much of a problem in conversation.

“Huh?”

“Why are you doing this, Mr. Worst? Is there any inconvenience…”

“No, it’s nothing.”

However… There is a line that has a slightly strange atmosphere. It was a flight attendant wearing the familiar golden necklace of acceptance, but his face was horrified and filled with fear.

I’m not a crazy bastard, and I wouldn’t threaten the crew I brought with me when they know out loud that I’m the Great Demon King. I focus on hearing because I wonder what kind of conversation is going on. There is quite a distance, but that is not a problem.

“Oh, the Great Demon King…? The President?”

“Didn’t you know?”

“No, um, I knew that, but… Isn’t that a game setting?”

“Yes?”

“No, there is a long-running social game called Garden of Eden…”

Ah, now that I think about it, our people didn’t know that.

In our part of the world, everyone who knows about the Great Demon King is a familiar story. This is because it was a setting from Garden of Eden, a social game created long ago to help Keter debut.

Of course, it was really created using this setting… If you think about it, it will turn out that it was a documentary and not fiction.

“Ah, from what I heard, that game seems to be a game made by collecting the history of dimensional civilization, various races, and real things. It seems that Mr. Worst created a game to make it easier for you to accept various facts when you enter a dimensional civilization like today. I can see it.”

“So, are you saying that the President is really the Great Demon King? He judges civilization… And destroys it if he is found guilty?!”

“Yes, it is a great position, one of which there are only five in the entire dimension. I heard that the Dark Lord Castle visited, so you would know a total of three Great Demon Lords, including Phantom and Sienne.”

“Huh…”

There is no reason for people from the Stral civilization to lie, and they have a point. Am I often not the real Great Demon King? When asked, he clearly denied it and did not answer.

Considering how vague it was, you’d think it was real. The reality shock came not only to the Stral civilization but also to our crew.

He glances over at the antigravity panel where I am and makes eye contact with me. I waved to see if he was okay, but he was shocked and bowed his head. No matter what the Great Demon King does, it’s the same in Korea, so you can treat him as usual… Anyway.

There were hours of political activity in the name of a celebratory party, but eventually the end came. I’ll work the same way again tomorrow, but at least after the day’s work is over, I can rest comfortably without anyone touching me.

However, before that, I had to manage the crew just in case, so I gathered them separately. However, the crew members seemed nervous, as if all the news they had heard had spread.

“Nothing happened, right? Looking at it, it doesn’t look like anyone drank to the point of getting drunk, so they did well. It’s annoying to deal with things like saying strange things or making promises while drunk.”

“Um… The President, no, the Great Demon King.”

“I understand that the reaction was like that when I heard that story, but now what? Nothing changes just because I’m the Great Demon King.”

“But isn’t he the Great Demon King? People say that the Earth will be destroyed if the evil demon rampages, but he is actually the Great Demon King who will destroy several civilizations and planets…!!!”

“Regardless of whether you have that kind of authority, it’s still the same on Earth.”

“No, that’s true, but…”

“Anyway, the above is the same, so there’s not much difference from now. In fact, it’s only added to the notoriety, so it’s worse for me. It doesn’t change much, so don’t worry about it.”

“Well, then you’re not going to destroy the Earth or anything like that, right? This is the place where you were reincarnated this time, and you’re directly ruling it as president. Even so, you can’t even destroy the country you directly changed…”

“Oh, that’s not it. You can do it.”

“??”

“We need to make sure that public and private life are in order. In this case, the president is the buyer and the Great Demon King is the public, but even so, there is no reason to destroy these bastards unless they say, ‘It would be okay if they were destroyed.'”

“Yes?”

A housemaster should not be involved in the affairs of the Great Demon King, and there is no intention to include him. Even when I was so angry in my previous life that I was called up, I at least put my emotions into the decision itself and didn’t make the decision in a biased way.

This is the civilization I was born in, and if you go astray and think it cannot be reversed, I will judge you. Since this is where Eden was born and raised, I will try not to do that as much as possible, but just in case…

“The hurdle is so high that it would have to be roughly equivalent to what Germany did during Hitler’s time, so don’t worry.”

“If that’s the case, I’m glad…”

“Oh, of course, because there is no old North Korea or Eden, the extreme right wing is gaining ground, and if you don’t reflect on the terrible things you did in World War II and show up in a victim cosplay with a red hat, that is also a summons. The Great Demon King considers the attitude of reflection to be the most important.”〈 Br〉

“Uh… That’s strangely specific?”

“In my previous life, I was judged on Earth. For reference, the one who destroyed Japan back then was Phantom, and I only destroyed Mexico.”

“…”

The crew members’ complexions changed to an indescribable color. This was especially true for the three Japanese crew members out of 50 foreign crew members out of 200. I guess it’s fortunate that there are no Mexicans.

It feels like the distance between me and the crew I had become close to during the dimensional voyage has grown much further than when I first met them. I can’t hide it anymore, so there’s nothing I can do.

… I’m really worried that when we return later, all the people on Earth will be like that.
