The Crazy Demigod Returns - The Crazy Demigod Returns chapter 71

Gate of Western Sahara

The South Korean government just before the presidential election season begins. A major announcement was made.

The president appeared at the official ceremony.

Along with the content of the public announcement, all sorts of rhetoric and justification were preached, about 20 minutes long if long, and short if short.

To summarize, it can be reduced to one line. It was an unusual and unconventional declaration.

[We plan to recognize the entire land transferred to Ha Yeon-woo, a returnee, as an autonomous district separate from national administration.]

That is the gist of the content.

The name Sara Autonomous District also became known to the public for the first time through the words of President Park Jae-yeol, whose term of office was nearing.

No person from Sara Autonomous District was present at the public announcement.

The announcement proceeded as if it were a plan concocted by the government from one to ten, and of course, the unconventional content caused a stir not only in Korea but throughout the world.

There are four major facts revealed at the site.

First of all, the autonomous district of Sara Autonomous District does not mean a district, which is a unit of local government. It refers to the area in which the state has granted autonomy to a region.

In other words, he was not talking about the administrative districts of the Republic of Korea.

In fact, it was not an independent sovereign state, but it was close to a ‘self-governing government’ that governed by receiving autonomy from the sovereign state to which it belonged.

For example, the countries of the British Indian Ocean Territory. It was correct to say that it was operated like the Isle of Man or Puerto Rico.

Next, although the basic laws of autonomous districts follow the Constitution of the Republic of Korea, certain parts can be enacted or modified as needed.

It was an indication that the autonomous district’s decision could clearly stand above the constitution in that area.

And to the point that in order to lead a full-fledged life with an address, residence, and tax payment in the autonomous district, you must acquire the citizenship of Sara Autonomous District, just like the citizenship of the Republic of Korea.

Everyone who heard the news was busy criticizing or laughing at the South Korean government as a humiliation.

Existing self-governing governments have varied characteristics, but usually share one thing in common.

already in possession of sovereignty. In other words, it was not ‘received’ autonomy, but it was naturally ‘transferred’ after having sovereignty at the national level.

However, this Borough of Sarah gave what it had unprecedentedly. It was showing the form of transfer.

In other words, it was because, no matter who could see it, it was the appearance of giving up the territory under pressure.

Furthermore, before Ha Yeon-woo appeared, Korea’s Awakened power was at the upper-middle level to be considered favorably.

I couldn’t help it. Since natural awakening is conducted randomly on humans, the result is that the more the population is, the more the result shines.

One fairly high standard national curriculum. Guild’s corporate system. Being among the advanced ranks that use the Awoken Registration System and Awoken Law.

As much as the population is small, the land is small, and systematic area management is possible, so even growth is possible.

In order not to fall behind, the reality was that the Korean government, of course, was constantly working hard.

It is not simply because the land transferred by an individual has independence, but the fact that Ha Yeon-woo, the strongest returnee, escapes the fence of Korea in the form of independence.

This fact contributed even more to creating a chaotic atmosphere.

Responses were also divided in several ways.

Ha Yeon-woo liberated Korea from monsters and is saving the world, so the advocates say that it is enough to respect the weight of that decision.

People who don’t care because it’s not my business.

Finally, even the kind of criticizing him by comparing him to a dictator or a coup.

If you look at it in detail, you worship and follow it like a god, or create a fan club. Or, there were civic groups that put their faces on posters and tore them apart.

Nevertheless, it was Ha Yeon-woo, who was still absent from Sara Autonomous District.

Na Sang-gi, who has just appeared as a new mayor, is the only one who delivers the news.

[One month from the end of this month. We receive applications for primary citizenship from Sara Autonomous District and start reviewing until September of this year when basic infrastructure is completed. The life and environment in which he grew up regardless of age, race, nationality, or country. only vision… .]

Public announcement of newly built apartment, announcement of move-in schedule, simple public recruitment notice without explanation of infrastructure.

One week after the government announcement. It was Sara Autonomous District’s first move, which was immediately conveyed through Na Sang-gi’s mouth.

Various responses have flowed from government positions and media outlets, but in the end the numbers prove everything.

Week 1 of the 4-week recruitment period. Even though only a quarter of the entire period had passed, there was a 600-to-1 competition rate among the 20,000 or so local immigrant applicants.

Despite tremendous technological development and population explosion, there were still officially undeveloped lands on Earth.

Representative examples are Antarctica and Siberia, which everyone knows.

It was because the weather was too cold, and even if they started developing to live a basic life, the money would go into pouring water into the bottomless dock.

Due to its nature, it is empty and uninhabitable unless it is for geological surveys or special purposes. So it was a case of undeveloped land.

Western Sahara on the Atlantic coast of Northwest Africa.

As the name suggests, it was a desert area at the western end of Africa facing the North Atlantic Ocean, and this place, which people do not know well, also belonged to one of those unapproved and undeveloped areas.

It was never just a desert area.

Although it was barren, it was an environment where people could live sufficiently, and different countries were right next to each other with borders.

Even phosphate minerals, an essential raw material for irreplaceable chemical fertilizers. In other words, the reserves of phosphate ore reached the top of the world.

It was clearly an unapproved country, and since resource mining was banned by the UN and EU, an official investigation was impossible, so it was a simple estimate.

Considering that it shares oil, gold, and copper deposits with neighboring countries such as Algeria and Mauritania, it was a land of great value.

Nevertheless, the reason why no country has yet been recognized as territorial sovereignty here and remains undeveloped is because of the element of conflict, unlike Antarctica and Siberia.

Western Sahara was colonized by Spain until the Declaration of Independence in 1976.

After the Madrid Accords and full independence, it seemed that the Sahrawi, who were natives, would get their land back, but next to Spain, neighboring countries were the problem.

The Sahara Arab Democratic Republic, proclaimed by the indigenous people to reclaim their own.

and neighboring countries Morocco and Mauritania, which claimed ownership of the territory of Western Sahara after independence.

Three national powers to occupy the territory. Since independence, war has been waged for nearly 50 years.

Rather, it was a land that was not developed because it was too attractive.

Because of this, Western Sahara is a border between Morocco and Mauritania and indigenous peoples.

And, except for a very small land where a small population of about 500,000 lived, it was literally a desert of empty fields.

The only thing that can be said to be a building that boasts majesty is the Moroccan Wall, which was built by Morocco, which occupied the eastern part, with a length of 2,700 km.

A huge stone earthen wall built by the Moroccan army to block the entry of natives and refugees in the west and numerous land mines buried there.

It was an architectural feature that I think is almost unique to this place, which is entirely desert.

The conditions in the east were at least fine, but most of the western regions where the natives live were worse than the outskirts of North Korea in the past.

This is because the people who actually lived there maintained living conditions at the level of rebels, receiving aid from neighboring countries in exchange for future gains, such as weapons and daily necessities.

The reality was that the facility to detect the wavelength of the cube’s gate, let alone the place where it could be played immediately, was not intact.

It’s not that gates aren’t created here, and monsters don’t appear.

In fact, there are many lands where monsters are coiled.

A place where most of the land is destroyed or killed and there is nothing to eat.

Most of the monsters naturally went out of Western Sahara, and naturally took the form of preventing the invasion of monsters from neighboring countries.

The natives were surviving the monsters there and continuing the war.

Pajik- Pajik-

Even in the south of Western Sahara, there are almost no people living there, so there are no Moroccan troops, rebels, or indigenous villages in the southwest corner.

A metaphysical electric current began to flow in the air, which gradually began to tear like the pupils of a reptile.

If it weren’t for the sound or distinctive aura, ordinary people would have confused it with something like crashing waves when seen from a distance.

One obvious prognostic symptom of a gate.

squeak-

And the only living beings whose movements can be confirmed around them. The desert wild dog, which only lives in the southern desert zone on the Pan continent, noticed it.

Monsters in the shape of giant hyenas, with their black skin exposed and seemingly starved for months, gathered around the gate.

The desert is a natural environment for them.

Just like the appearance, in reality there was no hindrance to living even if I starved for several days.

Hyenas hunt lions that have fallen from the herd, or dozens of hyenas that cling to huge elephants and ultimately make them their prey.

almost identical to its characteristics. They grouped in the desert as their main stage and used the humans that occasionally appeared or the monsters that appeared through the gate as their staple food.

He had no special abilities. However, it was also a dangerous entity with characteristics that were difficult to deal with without overwhelming skills.

Height of about 2 meters. This is because dozens of them gathered together based on their physical body, which reached 4 meters including their tails.

Although it does not have any special abilities, it is characterized by tough and strong leather and tremendous dental power, befitting its birth and living environment.

Because of this, it was a monster that was classified as a 4th tier monster on Earth, and it exerted more power than swordsmanship. In other words, the group of desert wild dogs belonged to a dangerous species that would not dare to subdue them unless they had the strength of an Awakener of the 4th rank or higher.

Those guys are gathering for the appearance of a new prey.

squeak-

Kreuk-

Before I knew it, dozens of desert wild dogs tightly surrounded the gate, howling low as if they were waiting for the appearance of a huge monster.

paper weave-

The gate took shape before anyone knew it.

There was one thing that was distinctly different from the previous one.

One of the characteristics of the gate that normally spews out monsters is that the inside is as black as the abyss.

For this reason, there was a nickname such as ‘evil eyes’ in the public.

The first 7th tier humanoid monster to appear in Yanbian. In the case of the gate where it appeared, the inside view was illuminated like a gray sky.

From this gate that appeared in Western Sahara, ‘landscape’ was visible.

sight. Literally, like the etymology of the dictionary, it means that nature or regions such as mountains, fields, rivers, and seas were reflected like waves.

A man was walking leisurely and exiting the gate, and behind him, a scenery that would appear only in Shinsengdo was showing off.

From noble mtl dot com

Legs exposed, part of the upper body. Finally to the head.

The man who appeared after slowly exiting the gate immediately looked around with a frown on his face.

Clothing that looked similar to Earth’s clothing, but lacked a sense of modernity. neatly shaved head.

obviously human. And it looked like a man.

“Was it not enough… .”

Besides, the voice that came out of the man’s mouth.

It was unlike any language on Earth, but it was definitely a kind of systemic language.

squeak-

A small, useless-looking human male suddenly jumped out of the gate.

Dozens of desert wolves circled around and closed the distance as if to search for such a man.

“Oh, it was a remote area.”

Either that or not. After looking around for a while, the man raised his eyes and looked far away. I muttered as I stared at a place in Mauritania surrounding Western Sahara.

In terms of distance, at least a few hundred kilometers.

On the man’s face, there was only a small joy that this place was not a ruined world rather than a sign that he had put in some effort.

Kruck!

Kreuk-

Did I not feel anything from the man’s series of actions and momentum?

After searching, the desert dogs recognized him as an easily huntable prey.

Dozens of them aren’t enough to share, so they’ll have to compete with each other, but whatever.

Just with the desire to chew the tender lean meat in front of my eyes. They kicked the ground and started running.

As if this place were his living room, the man paid no attention to the monsters around him and his eyes were on the border of Mauritania hundreds of kilometers away.

A very small, low voice that could not be heard unless the ear was close came out of his mouth.

“… explode.”
