The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 98

Episode 98

So does that mean the Ice Dragon wasn’t British?

But there is no real England or America in this ice, as if the kernel is empty.

The ice statue looked like Youngmi, a being who had been bullied and had lost track of who she was.

Did Youngmi disappear because of loneliness?

Still, Youngmi, who had turned into ice, was smiling.

“Well, since he got revenge on the guy who had tormented him, he would have been happy even if he had turned into ice. Or maybe he created ice that looked like him and ran away secretly. In movies or novels, the main character or villain sometimes pretends to be dead and then disappears.”

Bomi seemed to be very sad about Youngmi’s ending.

“Oh! But what is this?”

Bomi suddenly brought her face to Youngmi Ice’s lower abdomen and examined it.

I followed along and looked towards the boat, and there was something like a small seed embedded in the transparent ice.

if.

I remembered that Dr. Oh had told me some time ago about the research he had done on eggs.

I had previously sent Dr. Oh the Ark Church data I had collected from Trash Island via transport ship.

There is quite a bit of Ark Church material, including some from Hyunwoo’s father’s junk as well as from the Ark Church temple on Trash Island.

Dr. Oh was very pleased with my gift, as befitting a scholar.

In addition, he showed great interest in the egg experiment at the hatchery that I told him about.

So, it seems that they first searched the data and conducted an in-depth investigation into the contents related to the egg experiment.

Dr. Oh and I spoke via satellite communication a while ago about the findings.

– The egg could be a transitional experimental subject.

As the current grew rough, Dr. Oh’s voice on the satellite communication could not be heard clearly due to the noise.

“What? Doctor, you want some fruit? Should I get you some canned fruit?”

– No. That’s not it. The eggs we tested could be intermediate stages.

This time I heard it correctly, but I didn’t understand what was being said.

“An intermediate stage? An intermediate stage of what?”

– Of course it’s promotion.

Only then did I understand a little.

Why did the Ark experiment with so many different types of eggs, and why did the governor become a strange snake?

– It’s not certain yet, but it seems like the transformation is not a process of becoming a person, but rather a process of creating seeds for promotion.

“A seed carrier?”

– Oh. It acts like an ovary that allows the egg to grow into a seed.

“So, does that mean that those who eat eggs can’t become a mercenary or be promoted?”

– I don’t know until then. Everything is still a hypothesis. Anyway, if the seed of enlightenment comes out of the body of a human who has eaten an egg and has been transformed, it will be proof that my hypothesis is correct.

“I haven’t seen any seeds like that yet.”

I thought about all the guys I’ve fought and defeated so far.

No seeds were found in Branch Manager Choi, Elder Kim, General Bang, or the Governor-General who had turned into a dragon-like snake.

– Although it is expressed as a seed, it could be a different shape, like a cubic or powder. Since it is a hypothesis, I think we need to look into it more.

Dr. Oh’s hypothesis was limited to that point because the data was not yet fully understood.

But the seed that could become evidence for that hypothesis is right there.

The kidney-shaped seeds are bright white, as if bleached.

Is that the evidence for Dr. Oh’s hypothesis?

Even if it is true, is it really the seed of promotion?

I was filled with doubt and question.

The White D-8 eggs that Youngmi ate were defective.

Maybe it was just the remains of England and America running wild.

Or maybe, as Bomi said, it’s part of an ice statue made to escape.

By the way, how do you get those seeds out of the ice statue?

You have to take it out and look at it for yourself to get even a hint as to whether it’s right or wrong.

While I was thinking about it, Bomi, who was examining the ice statue, put her hand on it.

Then, the ice statue suddenly shattered as if a water balloon had been popped, and water poured out from inside.

Because of that, Bomi and I got wet.

“Hey. What is this? It’s cold outside. You might catch a cold.”

Bomi’s face changed strangely as she tried to express her annoyance by wringing out her wet clothes.

“Hey! Why aren’t you cold? Your body feels warm.”

“You’re not cold? What do you mean? It’s the middle of winter here.”

Jinman, who was stamping his feet wrapped in clothes, tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.

As I was about to take out a towel and hand it to Bomi, I felt my body getting hot and warm.

I touched the water that had flowed to the floor with my hand.

The water was clear like regular water, but it felt warm and sticky, like sulfur spring water.

Is this really the water that was ice just a moment ago?

And then a white seed was seen falling where the ice statue had been.

I guess I’ll have to take care of that first.

I don’t know if it’s a real seed of advancement, but I’m sure Dr. Oh would be very happy if you gave it to him.

I tried to pick up the seeds with my hands, but before I could even get close, my hands became freezing cold.

What the heck, that thing is emitting a really cold air.

I’m wondering how I should pack this. Should I pick it up with tongs and put it in the icebox?

Krrrr! Boom!

There was a loud noise, as if an earthquake or landslide had occurred.

“Oh! Isn’t this an iceberg collapsing? I think we should go back to Hallasan Lake quickly.”

Jinman screamed in surprise, but before he could even take a step, cracks began to appear in the iceberg and the ice began to break apart.

We were struck to the ground by the shaking so strong that we could not stand.

Krrrr, krrrr!

The iceberg split apart with a loud noise, and the ice castle with its spire collapsed.

A huge cracked hill sank into the sea.

Jinman screamed in fear.

“If we continue like this, we’ll sink along with the iceberg.”

“Ah! Why is it so hot?”

On the other hand, Bomi seemed more concerned about the heat than the iceberg collapsing, so she took off her jumper and kept fanning herself with her hand.

I’m starting to feel the heat too.

I took off my jacket and examined the shape of the collapsing iceberg and the water marks on the floor.

The water flowing from the ice statue flowed quite a distance.

And along the path where the water had flowed, the iceberg was splitting apart as if drawn with gold.

Did the iceberg break in warm water?

Come to think of it, when we put out the fire, the islanders, including Suho, showed an excessive reaction.

And the ice dragon was also easily affected by fire.

Is the ice made by England and America weak to heat? No, maybe it is because of the sticky nature of the water, like sulfur hot spring water.

But why doesn’t the bottom of the iceberg break apart around here?

The floor was soaked with warm water like spilled water.

if.

I looked at the seeds.

The frost around the seeds was like ice.

“Don’t move!”

Jinman, who was terrified, seemed to think he had to get out of here quickly, so he looked around, looking for a place to escape to.

“The ice hill ahead has collapsed. We need to get to the island’s coastline quickly so we can catch the Hallasan Lake.”

“No matter where you go, the iceberg will break. The safest place is right here.”

“Here?”

Jinman looked at me with an expression of disbelief.

As if to prove Jinman’s distrust, the remains of the collapsed castle flew towards us.

I raised my shield and blasted away the debris.

Bomi, who had been fanning herself, opened her mouth.

“Brother Jinman. Calm down. If you follow what the uncle says, a way out will open up for you.”

“Hmm. That’s true.”

Then Jinman nodded and put his doubts aside.

The iceberg continued to break apart with a loud noise, spewing debris, but we did not move an inch from the white seed.

The process of iceberg breakup seemed similar to playing in the sand.

A game where you place a stick in a pile of sand and scrape away the sand until the stick falls over.

From the outskirts, icebergs were washed into the sea, sinking and pressing closer and closer to us.

Jinman licked his lips and looked anxious, but he held it in until the end.

Unlike Jinman, who was worried about the ice island, I was worried about Hallasan Lake.

However, it was impossible to know what had happened to the Hallasan ship anchored on the shore because it was covered by an iceberg.

One by one, the icebergs collapsed, revealing the coastline.

Oh! The leisurely floating Hallasan lake came into view.

As expected from Jeongwoo!

Jungwoo must have judged it dangerous because he was keeping the Hallasan ship far away from the iceberg.

“What! Oppa Jungwoo! You didn’t even come to save me and ran away far away on your own?!”

Bomi said in a twisted tone.

“What are you talking about! Jungwoo is a genius at navigation. If the Hallasan gets hit by an iceberg and sinks, we’ll be in dire straits.”

“As expected from my boyfriend!”

In my defense, Bomi quickly turned the tables.

Finally, as the last sand was swept away, all the glaciers sank into the sea, leaving only the spot where we were.

Thin, stick-like pillars of ice supported us.

Bomi poked her head out from the edge of the ice pillar and said.

“Hey! If we had run away, we would have been in real trouble. As expected from you, old man! You saved our lives again.”

Jinman bowed deeply and apologized.

“I’m sorry, brother. I acted rashly.”

“It’s okay. It takes experience to keep your wits about you in a dangerous situation. Bomi used to whine a lot in crises like this. That’s something for a gentleman.”

“No, I didn’t do anything. I just asked if there was another way.”

Bomi stuck out her flippers as if asking when she had done that.

“Then let’s talk about them one by one.”

“No. Is there really a need to talk about the past? If you tell me that the water has disappeared, I will believe you unconditionally even if the world is full of water. I will do whatever you ask me to do from now on without complaint. Loyalty!”

Bomi gave an exaggerated salute.

While we were chatting, Lake Halla approached.

A statue of a player who had fallen into the water was erected at the Hallasan Lake.

Jungwoo spoke through the loudspeaker.

-Is everyone okay?

“Oh. It’s okay for now. But Jin-man has frostbite on his feet. I think Nurse Jang will have to fix it. And Jung-woo, it was hard to set up the player award again.”

“I trust and believe in you, sir, but I disagree with that player’s award.”

Bomi frowned as if she didn’t like it.

“Bomi, when you go back, you have to clean the player’s awards.”

“Ah! I don’t like it, sir!”

“Didn’t I just say that you’ll do whatever I tell you to do without question?”

“all right.”
