Fantasy Starting from the Stone Age - Chapter 176
Only Noblemtl
Episode 176. Due to circumstances at the broadcasting station, we will show Penkant’s life story instead of the regular broadcast.
The Black Witch hated the Luca Empire that oppressed her, and after destroying the Luca Empire, she went into hiding.
And when the savior appeared, he joined his party and killed Castel Laurent, whom he respected and considered the leader of medicine, leaving the greatest mark on history.
Yes, the Savior was not alone. He brought down the Datang and the All Chaun together with twelve companions.
Since the achievements of the new savior are ultimately defined as ‘destroying the Datang’ and ‘ensconcing the All Chaun’, the stories of his colleagues will also require several chapters.
In the end, even Datang, the ultimate victor of the Age of Faith, will eventually fall. So now that the first companion has appeared, we should look at the other companions.
What kind of people are they? Let’s find out for yourself now.

(*Due to circumstances at the broadcasting station, we will show Pencant’s life story instead of the regular broadcast.)
This is the remotest part of the world. The polar regions, the oceans, the continents, and the archipelago are all covered in ice.
In the sky, a heavy, fist-like moon gently illuminates the polar regions, the source of cold air and the source of life in this region.
The powerful celestial magic that the fist moon emits flows into the ocean and the polar continents and island regions. The one that eats it is the most prosperous monster, the krill.
These sea creatures, which form huge colonies by consuming only magical power, sustain the ecosystem here by feeding on the infinite magical power pouring in from the polar regions, the only sea in the world with high magical pressure.
Pencant is the name of the Ice Demon. Just as Enrakisho is the name of the Blood Demon. Just as the Underground Demons are a union of moles, bats, and underground dragons, Pencant is also a theocratic state formed by an alliance of various Ice Aristocrats.
They serve the greatest Fencant, and below them, the great families representing each race live under the Fencant, establishing their own logic, morality, and national system.
To them, the polar regions are the world, and the rest of the world is a wasteland. They have been invading for a very long time because they cannot satisfy their desire to not make the entire world a polar region.
These intelligent beings, who now prefer to be called by the names of the Glacier Nobles, Pencant, or their own clans or races rather than the Polar Demons, are taking on the appearance of a maritime empire rather than a demon race due to the emergence of the Disease Demon Race, and are actively engaging in exchanges and cooperation with the nations of the earth.
The orders of their god and pinnacle, Penkant, are still absolute, but the thoughts of the lower nobles are slightly different.
The most respected race in Penkant is the one called ‘Water Elephant’ by Daton. They are gigads that live in the polar regions. They are huge seals that weigh 6-8 tons and are 5-6 meters long and eat whales, large fish, and squid.
On Earth, the ecology of these creatures, called elephant seals, has evolved in a very similar way. The only difference is that they actually elongate the tip of their snouts like elephants, and instead of using their flippers as hands and feet, they perform complex manual tasks.
In nature, they are considered to be the strongest class. They are much stronger than the Gigad tribe. This is because they eat meat and their only food source is hunting, but their culture itself highly worships battle.
When they are born, the male to female ratio is 1:1. However, one male forms a harem with over 60 females. The rest either die, or, at the command of the great Pencant, they return after retiring from their military service and take over the existing harems, making them their own.
Even the Lulmona Tocha tribe is an extreme male chauvinist society that would make you cry. Daton doesn’t know about water elephant women. That’s because they don’t come from the polar regions. Water elephant women are only about 1/10th the size of men. They only weigh 600~800kg. It’s embarrassing.
Imagine a 10-fold difference in weight between male and female Homo sapiens. A 180cm tall, 80kg man living with 60 8kg, 60cm tall women. It seems a bit bizarre.
But this is normal for them. 99% of water elephant men can’t even approach the opposite sex. It’s a social structure where strong men get everything. Especially for water elephants who have almost a contempt for learning, physical strength and fighting skills are everything.
That’s why they go to the Shuzor Front and throw themselves into it. Is it hell only for Daton? No. The Shuzor Front is hell for them too. If they come back alive, they will be stronger than anyone else. Physical, mystical, and even honor. It’s too easy to take away the existing harem.
And the man who loses his harem loses everything and is driven out. Because the elephant man, who can be taken away at any time, is not recognized as having property rights. Private property is given only to the women and the entire harem.
The eel male who is driven out takes in several women who are old or poor and are driven out by their new master into his harem, and the winner enjoys everything in his harem until a new strong man appears and takes everything away from him, and he is driven out injured or as a corpse.
It’s a perfect male chauvinist society.
There are two ‘Anlairs’ of the Water Elephant. One is the owner of the largest and wealthiest harem, and the other is the mistress there.
In the water elephant society, women, who usually receive only 1/60th of the affection of ape women, are very important in accumulating wealth and showing off their appearance through luxury, so conversely, women need very harsh self-management and excellent commercial talent. They have to stand out somehow. The strongest man and the wisest, most beautiful, and ageless woman. Two adults represent the water elephant society, and instead of the man who does not engage in ‘women’s politics’, the woman serves as the actual representative of the species and manages everything, including politics, society, and administration, of the entire water elephant society.
It’s a perfect male chauvinist society. It’s so perfect that it’s turned around and men’s rights have hit rock bottom.
Supermen who fall below this level are the lords of harems with vast estates, or women whose authority cannot be ignored no matter how old they are.
There is only one way to take their position away: by fighting and winning. Men must defeat stronger men, and women must seduce them with their wealth and beauty.
Old people are not worthy of love. They are pushed to the front lines, or worse, they are driven out. Sometimes old women who have no property are forced to become the wives of really weak men, or worse still, to work in brothels for men who have no women.
Similar pinnipeds that make up the penkant. Water wolves, water cats, etc. also live a similar life. Although not as extreme as this… … . Men have no property rights, the master of the harem takes care of everything, and women do the actual political work and maintain society.
Polar yakans, who resemble penguins on Earth in reverse, are monogamous by nature and maintain a close-knit social relationship with their couples.
Whales and dolphins, who live entirely at sea, are also members of the ice aristocracy. They are the largest in the world, and live in schools and worship the moon and gods.
Even in the polar regions, in the northern ocean, which is directly connected to the land, there are polar bears and reindeer. They are not the mainstream of the Pencant, but they have direct contact with the Cheon-geon. Either hostile or friendly.
These glacial nobles have developed, fought, interacted, reconciled, developed culture, and fought against the weak creatures of the earth under the guidance of the primordial gods.
Basically, it’s to gain greater wealth and fame in the polar regions.
However, during the long war of the Age of Faith, an uncomfortable atmosphere is gradually being detected among the Glacier Nobles of Pencant.
The one who rules over Pencant is the primordial god, and he has actually educated them to think of himself as a god, and he has actually modified the previously uncivilized seals, penguins, and other animals to increase their intelligence, so he is truly their creator god.
That’s why I can’t even imagine disobeying it. Be it by force, ethics, or legitimacy.
But now that the war with Datang has become a protracted one, the glacier nobles of Penkant are facing opposition from the people and their own discontent.
“When will this war end… … ?”
Ice God is, so to speak, a rather soft-hearted person. He cries a lot and is very emotional.
Limited to one’s own kind and the creatures that one has created. The rest… are uncivilized. They are not called demons for nothing.
And when the Ice God finally returned to Datang the day before, he hurled a torrent of abuse at the gods who were on the same level as him, that is, the gods he respected: the Heavenly Kelp, the Invincible Ones, and the Lords of Baekkan (+ Immortal Corps).
‘Are you guys gods? How can you not push even one wire?’
Originally, I was going to stop there. Then, when Goaran was devastated by the disease demons, I gathered my strength and re-invaded the Shujor region while All Chaun was driven back east.
In particular, Nononono Hakang, the leader of the Shujor Breakwater Front, is seen growing weary. The small but mighty Anraier is literally shedding tears of blood over the deaths of his compatriots and playing music in a bloody manner.
So I thought it would be broken through soon. They don’t say it out loud, but the Space Demons and Pencant are actually cooperating. They are cooperating in exchange for sparing the polar regions from the invasion of the Disease Demons.
And the Space Demons have brought news that Nononono Hakang is preparing to rebel. The Space Demons are those who can look down on the world, and if the Southern Commander is wavering, it is fortunate. Now is the time to truly put an end to the long war.
But Hakan does not surrender.
For some reason, she said that her state of mind changed after going to Mainilun. Penkant couldn’t hide his bewilderment at the news that she was relieving her stress through wild sex.
The Ice God has said three times that he will be able to take over Shujor.
When we first attacked the Shuzor region, we couldn’t take down a population of 4 million people. After that, we just waited for an opportunity to invade the Shuzor region.
Secondly, when the entire race united to attack Datang. However, this was also stopped by Liwaduwan. They annihilated the entire population and held off Penkant’s offensive for nearly 14 years.
Thirdly, when Ol Cha-woon had to stop Go A-ran, he raised a large army again, thinking that this was his chance.
But, I couldn’t eat it even the third time. 36 years. In the 36 years that All Cha-un has been tied to Go A-ran, he still hasn’t been able to break through the breakwater wire.
Everyone in Pencant is a soldier. However, no matter what, there is a limit to the number of troops that can be employed. And no matter how you think about it, the number of troops that were sent to Datang exceeded that limit.
This is not a limitation of national power, but rather a limitation of public sentiment.
‘We can eat Shuzore, right?’
Once you start thinking that way, you can’t stop. The places that look good to eat, where you can achieve military achievements, and where you can get a harem as a reward, just turn into hell holes where you die if you go there.
‘Do we really have to eat suzor?’
Now I’m starting to feel skeptical. Is that really such an important point?
‘Did God make the right decision?’
To put it another way, it is the limit of faith.
It seems that the efforts of NonoNoNo Hakang to create the strongest assassins on earth by creating hybrids are meaningless, as strange currents are being detected within Penkant.
-Okay. The thousand-year-old swept through the Datang ranch! Now, if we really launch an offensive, that huge land will be ours!
God makes his fourth promise. When he hears that, all the Glacier Nobles look embarrassed, and then cough (in their own way) and make a polite suggestion.
“Oh my god, wouldn’t it be better to stop now?”
-!
The most powerful and longest-lived mistress of the harem speaks.
“Too many of our children have died.”
“That’s right. I don’t want to die anymore. There are so many people dying that the polar regions are now teeming with fish and everyone has their own iceberg.”
“If the great offensive of a thousand years has brought down the Datang, then it is well. Let the Genies fight on their own and we will now retreat.”
God speaks common sense.
-Do you think they’ll quit if we quit? And even if they do, what’s in it for us?
Then, Duke of Orca, who was fighting the disease demons in the Far East, said:
“Then we can negotiate by sending in a mediator.”
-who?
“I fought those terrible people in the East. Those who still roam the seas. But there are also virtuous people in the East. Those who wish to see this terrible war end.”
-… … .
“Let us ask him, the greatest of men, the greatest in the world. He does not rule over gods or nations, and is respected by all apes. We have done much for him in the East, but they have given us nothing in return. If we ask him to mediate with Datang, he may accept?”
It was almost a threat. A threat to God.
It was a threat to negotiate peace before we would no longer serve you as our god. The Ice God Pencant knew that.
-… … Bring it. I can’t ignore what you guys are saying.
Now that the high ground is right in front of us, I think… … . Well? Nononono, if you knew that Hakang was going crazy and creating mixed-bloods right now, you would think differently.
This will not simply end the fighting on the southern front, but will have far-reaching consequences for the world.
To put it bluntly, the best in the world, who was in the most remote place, ended up getting involved in the far western front.
What will be the result? And will the best man in the world successfully mediate between them? On what terms will he negotiate with Penkant?
Let’s check it out for yourself now.
