Chapter 2165 – [Welcome to Dimensional Civilization]
After spending a few days on a dimensional navigation ship near the Stral civilization, we boarded New Dimension No. 1 to return again.
Prince Stral tried to see us off to our Earth on a small dimensional navigation ship (still much larger than New Dimension 1), but he deliberately blocked us. There’s a lot of work to do right now, but if you follow me around to see me off, it’ll be even more bothersome.
“Please give me some time, Crown Prince. If you try to serve guests when you are not ready to receive them, you will end up humiliated.”
“Ah… I guess I was hasty. I understand. Then, I will contact you later and schedule a visit.”
The send-off is only to the vicinity of our dimension. As a result, we were able to reach right in front of our dimension not long after getting off their dimensional navigation ship. When I left, it was grand, but when I entered, it was so easy and simple that I felt a little discouraged.
And just before the crew returns, they activate the dimensional interference equipment. It is similar to the process of a spaceship docking with a space station, where dimensional interference aligns with each other to open a dimensional door through which we can return.
“Dimensional interference module output 100 percent!!! Interference field amplification begins!!!”
“Identification of the location of the interference field toward the Earth, 30, 20, 10 ahead…”
Jijijijijik!!!
And when the signal sent from Earth matches the signal sent from our side, the portal opens. As the dimension splits, we can see the launch pad we started from.
A novice driver slowly enters the vehicle as if parking for the first time. Since it is not a rail with separate wheels, you just have to adjust it to a certain degree, so there is no need to be nervous, but I could see the flight attendants, who found out that I was the Demon Lord, getting nervous and using their courage in situations where they should have been concentrating.
It’s hard… But right now, it would be better to just stay silent and not say anything, right? Because I don’t see any signs of messing up from being nervous.
Eventually, Shindimension 1 landed safely. Because we had already sent the news, the crowd of people gathered cheered for us just as they did when we left.
“”””Waaaaa””””
“Everyone, look!!! New Dimension No. 1 has just returned!!! It is the return of heroes who will leave their mark in history by registering Korea as a dimensional civilization!!!!!!”
“A bad guy!!! A bad guy!!! A bad guy!!! A bad guy!!!!!”
“Long live the Republic of Korea with dimensional civilization!!!!!!”
That reaction is amazing. Although there is an atmosphere, the sight of people cheering and shedding tears makes me feel proud because I think we did a good job.
We got off New Dimension 1 and stood in front of not only the people of the Republic of Korea but also countless people on Earth. Although only Korea was registered as a dimensional civilization, they congratulated us just as all mankind (except the Soviet Union) rejoiced when the United States sent the first man on the moon.
There was a clear sense of nervousness on board the ship, but upon returning home, the crew members seemed to have calmed down. Rather, they feel pride in having advanced humanity to the next level.
“Ah, everyone, it’s nice to see you again. I’m so glad you returned without any problems.”
“”””Waaaaa!!!!!””””
“No, I wonder if it means anything even if I like you that much. Anyway, reporter there, do you have any questions?”
When I chose one of the reporters in front of me and asked him a question, he thought for a while, then got up and asked me. Because he just asked what he saw, he was a foreign reporter, not a Korean reporter.
I’m not sure, but I guess he’s probably a European reporter? Anyway, he asked me what I thought.
“Currently, South Korea has been recognized as the only dimensional civilization on Earth. How do you feel about that?”
“I feel like I’ve just overcome one hurdle by doing what I had to do. To be honest, this is just the beginning, there’s a lot to do in the future.”
“Uh…”
“Then there’s a reporter next to him.”
I pointed the question to the next reporter. Well, if you knew my personality, you would have asked a good question, but honestly, that was a mistake.
However, the next batter was someone who knew me quite well. That’s probably why he asked good questions and gained something.
“I would like to ask about the Stral civilization we encountered and their response. How did they accept us as a dimensional civilization?”‘
“…”
You’re asking a very sensitive question.
Actually, I could come out as the Great Demon Lord here, but if I say it with my own mouth, there is nothing that is as out of place and unconvincing as it is. So I’ll skip that.
However, considering public opinion, we cannot help but give a positive answer. Then, while still greasing my awkward tongue, I told him about my experience with the Stral civilization.
“I was already known to the dimensional civilization. At the beginning, I revealed my existence to them and was treated as a VIP. I was treated as if I was on a cruise ship, so ask the crew for more details. Actually, I went there to meet people due to political issues. I couldn’t play like that.”
“Ah!!!!!!!”
“And in fact, the crew’s hard work was a big part of this dimensional exploration. I’m like a totem who eventually met another dimensional civilization and received better treatment. In fact, most of the related work was done by the crew.”
I give the credit to the crew.
Honestly, what did I do? I just decided on the direction based on my experience and knowledge, but the crew took care of the details. Just thinking about the workload, the crew members had a hard time.
And the spotlight briefly turned to the crew. Among them, the flight attendant who stood out to others because she was still wearing the golden necklace of acceptance received a lot of attention.
“What was the Stral civilization like!!!!!”
“Can you guess how much of a difference there is in technology compared to ours?”
“Please just say one thing!!!!!”
“Uh…”
And after thinking deeply, he spoke slowly. However… I made a remark that was not good for me and diverted the attention I had directed towards it.
“Although the Great Demon King gives us all the credit, we have also seen a lot of help from the Great Demon King. Just as the role of a captain is to set the course and determine the direction, the Great Demon King faithfully carried out his duties. Rather, we followed instructions. It was convenient because all I had to do was move.”
“Huh?”
“Hey, aren’t you saying something wrong? It’s not the President, it’s the Great Demon King?”
“… Ah.”
And as he reacted like that, the reporters noticed something strange. I hurriedly ended the interview and left the meeting.
But rather, it was a handshake. At best, I could have passed it off as a nervous person’s slip of the tongue, but when I, the person involved, showed my embarrassed appearance, I realized there was something and dug into it.
“Everyone must be tired, but that’s all for today. Let’s get this over with.”
“Wait a minute, Mr. President!!!! Why did you just say that you are the Great Demon King!!!!”
“Please explain why I called you the Great Demon King!!! The title Great Demon King refers to the being who judges civilization in the game where the President appears, so why are you using that title?!?!”
“President!!!! President!!!!!”
Aaaaah!!! I knew what I had to say, so I was prepared, but it’s a shame that I did it so unexpectedly without any preparation!!!
I exercised my right to remain silent and somehow ended the interview. I plan on taking a bit of time to come out as the Great Demon King, and my family needs to do the same thing, although not to the same extent as me, so we will discuss it first.
“What is to come has come.”
“That’s right…”
The most problematic person is me, who has to come out as the Great Demon King, but the next most problematic person is Shion.
On Earth, he’s just cosplaying as the owner of a fucking conglomerate, but in reality, he’s Hanon, a dimensional species, so he has to reveal that when he enters dimensional civilization. There’s no point in hiding it anyway, so it’s better to just announce it now than to have problems if it becomes known later.
“Still, it’s better to do it with you. Even if it’s a dimensional species, there’s less interest than the Great Demon King.”
“If attention is focused on one side, the other side will be better. But will it be okay? If Hanon comes out in earnest, won’t there be problems with the business or company you deal with?”
“On the contrary, it seems like the stock price will skyrocket.”
“I pride myself on knowing a lot about human malice, but I don’t know about human madness in the stock market…”
“Even Newton said he couldn’t calculate that.”
Anyway, the rumor spread quickly. The fact that I am the Great Demon King is known to all the crew, and there were foreign crew members to stop them separately, so it was inevitable that it would leak out.
It turned out that many of the settings of the Garden of Eden that were created to make Keter’s debut were true, and the most shocking thing among them was the existence of the Great Demon King and that one of them was me. The Internet was so shocked that it was so loud that it was on the verge of exploding.
-The evil one… The Great Demon King?
-Fuck, why is this real!!!!!!
-It is said that in the game, the Great Demon King judges civilization and so on…
-Isn’t it Gura?
-No, it came from crew members who visited a dimensional civilization. In the first place, all humans in the dimensional civilization knew that the evil emperor was the Great Demon King.
When it comes to verifying authenticity, there is someone who is easiest to do it with. These are the people from the Shenless civilization.
Up until now, I had told you in advance and kept my mouth shut so as not to let anyone know that I was the Great Demon King. The people of Shenless civilization also don’t want to incur the wrath of the Great Demon Lord and Lord Transcendant by making a mistake, so even if it’s not like a murderer, the secret has been kept well so far.
However, as we enter dimensional civilization, silence becomes meaningless. If we start interacting, even if it is not from Shenless, the existence of the Great Demon King will already be known, and right now, there is an uproar because of the crew of New Dimension No. 1.
“The two princesses from Shenreth are asking what they plan to do. They say they are currently responding to the pouring inquiries with silence…”
“Well, if I’m going to reveal it anyway, it might be more persuasive to have someone else confirm it than to reveal it with my own mouth.”
“Then I will tell you that.”
And in the Senryes civilization, the two princesses officially announced that I was the Great Demon King. Since it was clearly notarized in the dimensional civilization, all remaining doubts disappeared.
[Choeak is the Great Demon King who presides over society among the five Great Demon Kings. I also requested mediation for the previous dispute between our Shenreth civilization because you have such authority.]
[As the Great Demon King is watching from the closest place, I hope you to be careful about your attitude and behavior.]
No, don’t add any weird bonuses.
Anyway, just as it was noisy before we entered the next dimension, it was also noisy this time, with each country causing an uproar. Likewise, there are dozens of countries requesting meetings through diplomatic lines. It is even increasing in real time.
“I guess I’ll have to make room again.”
“Anyway, after registering a dimensional civilization, we have to create another space to consider related issues or reports.”
“Then I guess I can do both.”
It doesn’t happen right away, so it takes some time, and I became interested in the changing social situation. Garden of Eden, which is not entirely true, but a lot of it is based on truth, has incidents such as the number of players suddenly increasing even though it is a social game that has been around for decades.
However, what is important is the setting. There are also analyzes or articles that focus on that aspect.
[Garden of Eden settings summary.]
[Gaoden, let’s find out how much of the setting is true.]
[Analyzing the judging standards based on the relationship stories of the great demon kings who appeared in the film.]
Because Garden of Eden has been in service for quite a long time, there are many enthusiasts and fans, and thanks to that, there are fewer people who act out in fear or act like crazy even though I am the Great Demon King.
What can I say, if I were known as the Great Demon King, wouldn’t there be some pseudo-religious people who would say that the end of the world has just come and that you can save your life from the apocalypse only if you give all your possessions to me? There are more people like that in the world than you think.
And in the meantime, a space was created for the UN. The nervous leaders of each country stand out and look at me.
“Thank you for gathering like this today. Originally, this was a place to talk about advancing into the dimension, registering as a dimension civilization, and the information and profits gained from doing so, but since you are probably very interested in the fact that I am the Great Demon King and that, I will talk about that first and move on. I will do it.”
I need to finish the main topic in advance and get to work. Anyway, their priority would be the issues related to the Great Demon King.
The fact that I am the Great Demon King is known, and I am confident that it is true, so what I am curious about is probably a different story. There may be people who obtained information through the Shenless civilization, but cross-verification is essential, and the story that came from the mouth of the Great Demon King himself would be the most reliable.
“The thing I’m most curious about the Great Demon King seems to be the judgment and related issues… Basically, an odd number of Great Demon Kings are convened to make a decision, and if more than half of them are found guilty, they are judged. The standards are different for each Great Demon King. “
“What are the standards?”
“If you look at it broadly, there are ethics, technology, society, class, freedom, etc. Among them, I am in charge of society and I think that civilization is a society worth surviving.”
“Can I ask what kind of society is worth surviving?”
“I don’t convict you unless I think it’s real. And even if there is a social problem, I tend to give you a chance if you have an attitude to fix it. This is a common standard not only for me but for all the Great Demon Lords.”
“It’s an attitude of trying to fix things, so does that mean they’ll look at you if you reflect on your actions? I’m curious to what extent that is a line.”
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to use a country on the same Earth as an example. We compare countries that committed heavy sins that are difficult to undo, but at least reflected and behaved well and countries that did not.
“First, there would be Germany. Germany committed terrible acts of ethnic cleansing in the past due to the Nazis, but even putting aside the issue of reparations after defeat, they are making various efforts to at least prevent it from happening again. Unless they are idiots like neo-Nazis, the majority of the people are ashamed of that. I am aware of the fact that it is a terrible history, and if you reflect on it and show an attitude to prevent it from happening again, I will grant you innocence even if you are guilty of past crimes.”
“Whew…”
The German Chancellor breathed a deep sigh of relief. He was so nervous that his country’s name was mentioned, but he felt relieved to hear that he was innocent.
Of course, there are other problems that need to be solved, for example, things committed not by the Nazis but by the previous imperialist Western powers, but to answer those questions, we have to look at other countries first.
“On the other hand, in the case of Britain and France, it would be a bit dangerous because of the things they committed during the imperialist era. They took on the notoriety that had built up to the point where they had to bow to the Nazis without properly reflecting and cleaning up.”
“Yes?!?!”
“Oh, no. We are fully reflecting on ourselves!!! Just now…”
The British and French prime ministers are shocked and make excuses. In fact, there are a lot of people other than these two countries who did bad things during the imperialist era, but if we were to compete for first or second place, it would be those two countries.
Their hasty excuses are just because they sting. The prime minister was not born and raised in those times, so he cannot be criticized, but if he receives an inheritance from his parents, he must also receive debt.
“Isn’t it urgent for the UK to first return cultural assets from other countries to the British Museum?”
“…”
“Shouldn’t France first apologize for the atrocities it committed in its colonies and for what it did afterward? I think it would take all day to talk about Algeria?”
“…”
There is something good about the Demon Lord coming out.
Even if you make a fuss about diplomatic relations and openly argue in front of them, they don’t say anything!!!!!!
