The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 93

Episode 93

Suho shouted as if he were a foreman giving orders.

“Hey, elders, since we have guests, let’s set the table. We should show them some of the fresh frozen fish and monster meat that are specialties of the Ice Island.”

Youngmi moved her hands diligently again.

Then a chunk of ice floated to the surface.

Some of the ice cubes were empty, but others had something inside them.

The adults swam over and pulled them in.

Then he grabbed something that looked like a hammer or a pickaxe and broke the block of ice.

Then, fish and monsters like water polo appeared.

Wow! You can fish like this too.

Honestly, I was quite impressed.

But the rest of the group, except me, seemed to feel afraid.

“Sir! Don’t land on the iceberg.”

“That’s right. It looks so dangerous.”

Bomi and Nurse Jang tried to dissuade me.

“It’ll be okay. Ice is made by freezing water, and there’s no water on top of an iceberg.”

“What do you mean, sir! Didn’t you see them just now setting up an ice wall to keep people from escaping?”

“Oh. I saw it.”

Since I saw it, I concluded that it was okay to go down to the iceberg.

The clear ice formed in the ocean and the cloudy ice formed on top of the iceberg looked different.

As the landing pad lowered, Jinman and Bomi spoke while gathering their weapons.

“I can’t send you to the enemy territory alone, hyung. I will follow you.”

“Me too.”

I shook my head.

“I’ll go alone. It’ll be easier to get out. While I’m there, fix the ship. There’s a crack in the bow armor. And contact Hyunwoo’s father via satellite communication and ask him.”

“What are you asking?”

“I wonder if it would be possible to modify the steel plates to strengthen the Hallasan-ho into an icebreaker.”

Bomi insisted on following through on the homework I gave her until the end.

“I’m not trying to be a jerk, sir! I’m just going to go fight with you in case you get hurt. Don’t you trust me?”

“Of course I believe you will fix the Hallasan Lake. Oh! And Bomi, the captain’s statue fell and sank into the sea. Please take it out and reattach it.”

“No, why am I bringing up a player award that I don’t even like? Just break that damn player award.”

“If it’s broken, please fix it. Please, Bomi.”

So I left Bomi behind and landed on the iceberg alone.

“Wow! Mr. Ttaktak, you really came down. Then shall we go to our castle?”

Suho guided me.

As we climbed the ice mountain as if we were going on a winter hike, the scenery of the ice island unfolded before us.

The ice island was larger than I thought, about the size of a large apartment complex.

The iceberg is said to have a submerged portion that is nearly nine times its exposed portion, making it a massive piece of ice.

Did that kid make all this by himself?

I glanced at Yeongmi.

What appeared to be gray hair, when seen up close, was actually gray ice.

And he was dragging his feet, his shoes and pants were wet, it looked like he had frostbite.

The White D-8 Egg was said to have side effects, and it seemed like the end of that might be near.

The ice island was surrounded by hills on the outside like a mountain range, and in the middle there was a sunken plain like the crater of a volcanic island.

And on that plain there were European-style houses and castles built out of ice.

The pointed spires made of stacked ice bricks sparkled in the sunlight.

It was so bright that I frowned without realizing it.

By the way, I think I’ve seen that last name somewhere.

Oh! That’s right. That’s the world-famous theme park, X-Zuni World.

Although the scale of the castle is nowhere near that of X-Zuniworld, the gates and pillars are intricately carved, as if a lot of effort was put into them.

Surely people don’t live in those ice houses and castles?

But people entered the ice house as if they were looking for their own home.

Suho guided me to the castle.

Those who came in according to gender were Suho’s gang wearing duck down parkas and wool coats.

“How about it? Our castle. It’s a little cold, but isn’t it nice? It’s a hundred times better than those carbon-spewing apartment complexes and apartment buildings built by the damned nomads.”

Suho smiled at me and said.

“The old people don’t care about the next generation, and they only care about themselves, so they burn coal and oil, emit carbon, and make the Earth sick. In the end, they drowned the world. However, our castle is a carbon-free, eco-friendly castle, a literal sustainable house. Haha.”

“Huh? The world is not underwater because of carbon emissions.”

As I tilted my head and spoke, Suho got angry and shouted.

“What are you talking about? Every day on TV and in the media, they say that climate change is causing the end of the world. That if things continue like this, the world will end. That’s why sea levels are rising and the whole world is underwater.”

“It’s not because of global warming, it’s because of the sorcery of the Ark Church. Think about it, even if the temperature rises, will all the skyscrapers be flooded overnight?”

The children around me started to murmur when they heard my rebuttal.

“The Ark Church? Are you talking about that cult?”

“I guess so, I think they said they were going to drown the world.”

“Then what? Those old guys, they did nothing wrong?”

The children seemed to be looking to the adults for the reason why the world was underwater.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but then you don’t have to feel even a shred of guilt about killing or harassing an adult.

In a way, it was similar to the forced logic that people get bullied because they deserve it.

“Haha! You’re so funny, mister! Let’s stop talking about serious things and start eating.”

Suho shouted at the children who were swaying.

“You guys should shut up and eat!”

The children sat at a table full of frozen fish and water polo, unable to make a sound due to Suho’s charisma.

I followed them and sat down.

“Then eat it. If you like it, I’ll give you enough sheep, so let’s trade it for guns. We don’t use petroleum, which is destroying the world, and we don’t use things like double-drawing nets that destroy fish species. As you can see, it’s a completely natural fishing method.”

Is it really eco-friendly to catch fish by making ice in the water?

It doesn’t seem to be much different from catching them by electric shock with a battery.

But I didn’t bother to refute it.

The children, including Suho, began to eat frozen fish and watermelon by cutting them with ice knives.

“Ah! This is so sad.”

“I’m sick of frozen fish now.”

“Ah! If I just take a bite of this boiling kimchi stew, I’ll have no more wishes.”

“I’m ramen!”

When the kids complained, Suho yelled at them.

“You guys! In this world drowning in water, you should be thankful for just having this much to eat. There are also elderly people who are starving like that.”

“Oh, no. I can’t eat it.”

The girl who rejected me for being a jerk threw a frozen fish at me.

Then, the adults who were holding the utensils rushed to the frozen fish and fought among themselves over who would eat it.

“As expected! Those who say they don’t care about others just because they want to live are just like the old people who ruined the Earth. But they’ve already enjoyed everything they could by squeezing the Earth, so they have nothing to regret. We’re the ones who are pitiful. We get to eat frozen sashimi like this. Isn’t that right?”

Suho, who had been tapping the ice table with an ice knife as if he didn’t like it, glared at me as if telling me to speak.

It was a provocative look, but even so, he looked no different from a child who was throwing a tantrum over side dishes.

I shrugged and answered.

“You might think so, since the world is underwater. But when you were young, didn’t you enjoy the world that the older generation created through fierce competition? Didn’t you enjoy everything you wanted to eat and wear?”

“It’s not like I can’t choose the parents I want. It’s like the adults forced me to eat and clothe them.”

“Okay. Then, let’s eat frozen fish while protecting the earth in an eco-friendly way. I feel sick when I eat cold food, so I’ll eat it grilled.”

As he said that, he took out a torch from his bosom and tried to light a fire.

Then the people were surprised, like primitive people who saw fire for the first time.

“Fire! Fire!”

“Turn it off quickly! What are you doing!”

Suho shouted urgently.

The kids who were running around rushed at me to try to take the torch away from me.

I turned off the torch before they came.

“What is it? Why are you doing this?”

“If you light a fire, carbon is released. It’s not eco-friendly at all. And you have to be careful with fire. Don’t you know the slogan, “Be careful with fire, whether you’re awake or asleep?”

Suho said it as if it was nothing, but he could tell that there was a secret related to fire here.

I don’t know what it is, but I have a feeling that it might be able to destroy this island.

Since we couldn’t use fire, we had no choice but to eat frozen fish.

I don’t know what kind of fish it was, but the texture was similar to frozen tuna.

It would be edible if you wrapped it in seaweed and ate it with oil.

Kim was cooking in his apartment, and it seemed like he could replace the sesame oil with fish oil.

As I put down the ice fork, Suho asked.

“how is it?”

“It’s edible.”

“I’ll catch as many as you want. If you want, you can grill them on the boat later. How about that? Now, would you like to trade them for a gun?”

But why is this guy so obsessed with guns?

Even now, they are sufficiently controlling people.

To threaten Britain and America?

The ability to freeze water was the key to British domination.

However, even without guns, Youngmi does not dare to rebel.

It was a typical bad friend dependency.

“Why do you need a gun?”

“To catch a bird.”

“bird?”

“Yes. There’s a bird on the ice island, I’m going to catch it.”

I need a gun because of the bird.

Maybe you want to eat meat instead of fish.

But that didn’t seem to be the case.

“Look at that. That guy is shitting himself. He’s defiling our castle.”

Suho pointed to one of the spires, gritting his teeth.

The spire was stained gray.

I thought it might be possible to catch it with Youngmi’s ability, but thinking about it, it didn’t seem like it would be easy since birds can escape into the sky.

“Really? Then I’ll catch it.”

I suggested to Suho.
