Chapter 2175 – [Welcome to Dimensional Civilization]

I ended up taking on the position of head of EDU. In the case of the position of the head of the union itself, it was possible to hold concurrent positions, so there was no problem, but in the case of the president, since he was a public servant, there was some question whether he could hold concurrent positions.

“I checked the Constitution, but the ban on the president from holding concurrently positions means that it is impossible to concurrently hold positions that set laws, such as prime minister, state council member, or head of an administrative department. There is nothing else.”

“The president is also a civil servant, so what about that?”

“It is possible if the head of the organization approves it… Isn’t your father the president?”

“… In the end, you can do it if I agree.”

And then there is public opinion. Hoping that the public opinion of the Republic of Korea would accept my position as district-level union leader, I continued to make noise and create public opinion by smoking Gukppong like a cigarette. I have no doubt that I will not neglect my duties regarding Korea if I become the head of the union.

No, if I have a lot of work to do, I might put it off a bit, but is that okay?

“They are in the top 10% of politicians when it comes to thinking that they will deal with it someday even if they put it off. There are a lot of people without conscience who usually just ignore it or hold out until they lose interest.”

“This damned guy’s responsibility…”

“The reason my father became the leader of the world is largely because of his sense of responsibility. Once he gives something, he does it faithfully, regardless of his lack of ability. Even if he lacks ability, he recognizes it and makes up for it by asking for help from others and devising ways to solve the problem. .”

“Anyone can do that.”

“Can you say that about Korean politicians before the meteorite disaster?”

“Oh, I can’t.”

First, I’ve said something, so I can’t leave it out now. Since they have given you that much authority, I don’t think there will be any major problems even if there are minor annoyances.

He officially held an inauguration ceremony as the head of the EDU Union. Amidst the grand celebrations of numerous countries, I am the only one who approaches the inauguration ceremony with a shitty expression.

“Smile a little.”

“I can laugh if someone else is doing it, but I can’t because I’m doing it…”

The inauguration ceremony was the same as any other time. Just shaking hands with representatives of each country, taking pictures, saying hello, being polite, talking about politics… I got used to it, and now I can somehow handle it automatically.

Although he became the head of the union, nothing happened right away. This is a newly formed organization, so related laws and such need to be created gradually.

So, in the meantime, I contacted Phantom separately. Although it is said to be a civilization of one country, it is comprised of two-dimensional civilizations, Korea and the United States, and more dimensional civilization countries will join in the future, so it was necessary to report on such an organization.

[Kitchen haha.

“Don’t laugh at me, you bastard!!!!!!”

[No haha, my brother and I are preparing to make you work, but why are you already doing work that we haven’t even asked you to do yet haha.]

“I don’t know, fuck…”

The phantom’s face, which is laughing while making excessive use of initial sounds, is so fucking disgusting that if it were right in front of it, I think it would have entered the chest first. I’m laughing so fucking hard.

[Anyway, it went pretty well. If the kids there have a problem, take care of it and take care of it.]

“I plan to do that even if you don’t say it.”

[And when you advance from Earth civilization to dimensional civilization, I will introduce you to it, so keep that in mind.]

“Hey?! Wait a minute?!?!?”

[The name is Earth Level Union? I’ll just have to deal with you kids on Earth in some time.]

“I’m so tired just from managing our kids!!!!!”

[You don’t have to do everything one by one, just decide on the direction, compile your opinions, and report it to me. And there won’t be any work for a while to begin with.]

“Why? There are probably some dimensional civilizations from Earth who are older than us, so wouldn’t they want to join considering that they are sticking around just now?”

[So, for a while. On the other hand, since you are a senior, it won’t be easy to join an organization created by a junior. Moreover, it has just been created, and when it becomes larger and more influential later, I will express my intention to join.]

“Oh, I see.”

[Even on Earth, civilizations are chaotically divided, with different histories, different abilities, and other things, so it is not easy to unify opinions. Because there is no transcendent person who can be the central point…]

“There must be quite a few transcendental people from Earth.”

[That high point is either you or your student, but Gilhyun is busy with Team Twilight. Even now, he is running on his own to prevent a galactic war.]

“This guy said there was no news for some reason, but he must have been working. Why did he say he was having such a hard time?”

[What are you going to say, idiot?]

No, if someone hears it, they will think that I am also having a hard time creating a job?!

Anyway, I gave a brief report, and as the head of the Earth-level alliance, I had to take care of at least a few things to do. First, I plan to classify people like Yamchae separately.

“First of all, we will investigate countries that are willing to enter dimensional civilization and immediately accept them as member states.”

“Is there a reason why you suddenly did this, Union Leader?”

“There are people who don’t sign up in advance because they don’t want to pay the contribution, and only sign up right before registering as a dimensional civilization, so that’s right. However, I will not only receive it, but I also plan to support non-dimensional civilization countries through the contribution that I can also manage.”

First, there are far more countries that are not in the dimensional civilization than there are. Aren’t there only two at best, Korea and the United States right now?

Korea, a country with transcendental authority, has decided to use the contribution that it can freely spend, even though it is already free money. In that way, I plan to provide some support to latecomers and create a ladder for them to climb.

In the future, when most countries on Earth become dimensional civilizations, there will be money left over, but then you can go and think about how to use it.

“So what will you do with countries that don’t join now?”

“The next member state will join in 20 years, so I tell them to go and join then.”

“Huh? Then, in the case of countries that cannot pay their share…”

“No, it’s not that they receive a certain amount of money, but they pay differentially depending on the size of the country. If a country is going to be burdened with that amount, shouldn’t they start worrying about something other than dimensional civilization first?”

“Ah… I understand.”

You have to have a conscience. Korea is also a country with some oddities in terms of technological development and such, but it is nevertheless a country with its own unique features. However, if a country is borrowing my name and saying that it will support advancement to the dimension, but the contribution itself is a burden, advancement to the dimension is not the problem, but internal stability must be strengthened first.

I know that I am a hard-working person, and I deliberately set an appropriate time of 20 years for membership. They say even rivers and mountains can change in 10 years, but for a country to change, it will take at least 20 years.

Anyway, after I announced this, numerous countries applied to join EDU. However, a screening process is necessary, and there have been cases where small countries that we have never heard of have unreasonably prepared their share.

“Stop being hasty. In the first place, Korea took decades to develop technology and build the minimum infrastructure, but a country with a worse environment does not become more civilized just for a few years…”

“Well, part of it is because of the feeling of pride that everything will be fine once we become a dimensional civilization. Once we become a dimensional civilization, we will be able to sell our name.”

“Who is letting them do whatever they want? First, I will have them report all diplomatic issues related to dimensional civilization.”

“Work will increase, are you okay?”

“At least it’s better than selling my name to people who don’t know me and whining for a solution only after the problem arises.”

I wasn’t even thinking about it, but I get angry when people suddenly ask me to do something. If I did it, and it was my fault, I will take responsibility, but if they do not have the ability or intention to take responsibility and have no choice but to cling to me, I will look into it and, in the worst case, permanently expel them from EDU.

I feel like killing people, but… Since I’ve reached this level, I should refrain from killing people myself, other than executing them.

“I’m not saying I won’t kill you.”

“I can’t help it because there are so many cheap people in the world. It’s just Korea, but now it’s the entire globe.”

And then an incident occurred that put me to work. At least it would have been better if the problem had arisen due to a story related to dimensional civilization, but it was caused by another problem.

Palestine, or more precisely Hamas, an Islamist armed group in Palestine, launched a surprise attack on Israel without declaring war. There was news that not only was there a lot of damage, but even civilians were killed.

“What? Don’t these bastards know that I’m the Great Demon King? No, I came out?”

“Don’t you care about those who are so crazy about religion that they can’t see anything? But what are you going to do about this?”

“First, Israel is a member of EDU, so I think we have to pay some attention to it. But that doesn’t mean the Israelis are all so nice.”

Israel was hit hard without a declaration of war, but Israel is also in trouble, having done nothing good. In the first place, the relationship between Israel and Palestine… No, let’s not talk about it. If you do this, the story will be longer.

But Hamas crossed a line. It’s inevitable that two countries with bad relations will fight, and I don’t want to interfere, but I feel uncomfortable when civilians die because of it. At least I had to make some gesture.

“I need to post just one post on social media.”

“Now you don’t even have a guest house, you’re talking about social media?”

“If it’s broadcast, it’s definitely going to be a long story. I’m posting it as a light warning, saying it’s okay to fight, but do it in moderation.”

I posted a tweet about this Israel-Hamas war and an article about dead civilians on social media and wrote just one sentence.

[The Great Demon King is watching.]

No matter how careful you are during war, civilians will die. However, that did not mean that they should go out of their way to kill all civilians like Hamas does now.

Israel committed something, but that does not justify what Hamas is doing. Israel asks for help, but they’re both fucking bastards and won’t side with either of them. The only thing that matters is war.

At most, one tweet posted on social media. But the reaction was strong. There were numerous retweets asking me about my intentions, the political question of whose side I should take in this war, and other countries that felt the pressure and supported me, as well as Palestine, where Hamas belongs, cut their ties.

Originally, Hamas was treated as a Palestinian armed political faction rather than a terrorist group. Of course, depending on political issues, some countries defined it as a terrorist organization, but at least before this war, even Korea viewed it neutrally as a Palestinian political party.

But I crossed the line with this. When I said that I was keeping an eye on them as the devil, the Palestinian government took the initiative and declared Hamas an Islamic extremist terrorist organization. Likewise, Islamic countries that supported Hamas also cut off their support for fear that they would also be implicated.

Well, it’s natural that the tide is turning. Israel also knew that if it made a mistake, it would be ruined, and other countries were also putting pressure on it, so it reduced retaliatory attacks on civilians and the like, leading to a lull in the war to some extent.

“Ah!!! Why do I even have to care about the war issue, ahhh!!!!!”

“Oh?”

[Aka.]

“「Pretentious」 Murasaki.”

“Don’t drip!!!!!”

And for some reason, a general assembly was also held to discuss international issues with the United Nations. Well, first, it is somewhat understandable since all the countries that can be said to be powerful countries on Earth are member countries, but I feel like they are trying to manipulate the world.

Not only the Israel-Hamas war that took place this time, but also diplomatic, social, economic, and other issues, as well as environmental issues… Ugh.

“Currently, global warming is becoming more serious. Accordingly, for the sake of future generations, we have declared carbon neutrality and restricted development to preserve the environment…”

“Wait a minute!!!! Then what do we do in places where most of the country is forest and mountainous?”

“That’s right, thinking about that, I think that environmental problems should be solved first by powerful countries, not developing countries. Isn’t this no different from developing their own infrastructure and now preventing latecomers from growing!!!”

Why am I here…

Seeing the representatives of each country making noise and fighting makes me sigh. First, I tried to keep looking at it like it was some kind of decoration, but something strange came out, and I said something in the middle.

“Humanity is now facing the development of Mars. If the Earth’s environment worsens and survival becomes difficult, migration to Mars may be considered…”

“Ah, that’s the Great Demon King’s agenda.”

“…”

For a moment, the conference room became cold. Although I was the leader of the union, I, who was just sitting on the sidelines, was instantly transformed into the Great Demon King.

Are you just moving to another place without even trying to fix the damaged environment of the planet you live on? Don’t you remember how the Empire that Baek Hee and Mad Max Ruri were in collapsed?

Of course, it is said that at the time, there was also Aurum Malum, the great demon king of nature, who looked at environmental issues, but other demon kings would not look at the act very favorably either. I’m planning to stop it in the first place, but it’s better to say in advance what I can’t do. Only then will they give up.

“A mindset like ‘You can just move to another planet’ after destroying the environment of the planet you were born on with your own hands is in fact the same as a virus and is judged to be unworthy of existence. If you leave it alone, it will only continue to destroy the star, so why just continue to do so? Do you want to leave it?”

“Ah, yes…”

However, we cannot just tell them not to do it without providing the means. Then wouldn’t he be no different from an old boss who only talks loudly? I also think about it and give my opinion.

“First of all, in the case of developing countries, we need to develop and prevent global warming through carbon neutrality, so let’s make a compromise: develop but also achieve carbon neutrality.”

“Let’s kill two birds with one stone… How do you mean, President?”

“Isn’t there a cactus plant in the United States that we brought to you a long time ago? For developing countries, fuel is also essential, and if you have a plant cactus, you can produce your own biofuel. In addition, because of its characteristics, it is also possible to be carbon-neutral.”

Cheonhyang cactus is a crop that converts carbon dioxide into alcohol through carbon capture. It is necessary for developing countries because it becomes carbon-neutral when grown and is a cheat crop that can be used to produce everything from alcohol to biofuel.

Just now, how much does the United States benefit from the prickly pear cactus? Of course, the United States has to make concessions since it was given to the other side, but that can only be done through negotiation. Otherwise, you can pay a seed usage fee or something like that.

“If it’s a Cheonhyang cactus, it’s processed…”

“Currently, portal facilities are installed in Cheonhyang cactus cultivation areas. If portal facilities are installed in cultivation areas in each country, it will be easy to process them using our existing factories.”

“It’s easy to move, so there’s room for problems, but the benefits are great.”

“Let’s discuss it with the home country first and then talk about it.”

It’s a little quieter now. This is much better than just raising your voice without any benefit.

… But I feel like I chose something wrong. Am I mistaken?
