The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 54



Chapter 54. World Collision -Seventh- 3

Indeed, legendary creations are on a different level. Biin felt this acutely.

Plants produce various strange chemicals. In fact, living organisms themselves are like chemical factories, but plants, being immobile, are more specialized in this direction.

Primarily, it’s to protect themselves, but the diversity of chemicals plants can produce is virtually infinite. Some become poisons, some become medicines, and some transform into substances with all sorts of usefulness.

And the legendary creation Tademoira was born solely to cultivate and grow such plants, the 『Spirit of Flowers and Horticulture』.

Its abilities were limited to flowers and horticulture, so it couldn’t handle grain agriculture or forest restoration, but in its limited field, it could evolve, cultivate, and create useful plants incredibly quickly.

So it created a plant that disperses deadly chemicals in the form of pollen, reacting violently to specific genes that were close enough to interbreed with other species and also implanted in the Gamchi.

The flowers, cultivated in the 《Sky Garden》, the first land in the world of Mugite and occupying an immense area, endlessly bestowed the grace of pest control from the sky to the ground.

“Praise Tademoira!”

“I really love you! Tademoira! True legends are indeed different!”

To Biin, it felt like the devil’s dung powder.

“Damn.”

The pollen from the flowers created by Tademoira was a chemical substance that entered both the Dessert Corps, jelly-like creatures, and Gamchi, breaking and destroying the bonds between protein bodies and mineral bodies.

Simply put, any jelly that came into contact with the pollen would melt, and Gamchi’s solid body tissues and muscle tissues would twist, making it impossible for them to fly properly and causing them to suffer.

In other words, it was an extreme pollen allergy. For the Dessert Corps, it was a plant that was practically ‘death.’

The fact that this was developed in just a few months of in-game time shows the astonishing abilities of a legendary creation.

If no countermeasures were thought of, there was a possibility that Biin’s ecosystem could be devastated by the pollen and growing plants entering the ecosystem.

“Can’t we just push through with Yogurt Sauce?”

“It’s not that easy… The enemy world is so moved by that flower spirit that they are offering mad devotion and experience points. They might even reach level 8.”

“Ah…”

Sending scouts consistently to observe, it was even more serious. Mixing the pollen with sap caused the inedible bodies of the Dessert Corps to separate into jelly and minerals. The hard minerals would sink, and the jelly on top could be skimmed off, making it somewhat edible for the inhabitants of the enemy world.

This would lead to the deployment of the third stage of the dimensional gate. Elite units like [Dark Rim], [Caramel Camel], [Yanggang], and [Yogurt] would likely be meaningless.

Most of the creatures deployed in the first and second stages would just die from the flower scent, and even the elite forces hunting Biscuits would be easily hunted by the hero forces. All of that would end up in the enemy world’s stomachs.

“Still, if we go all the way, won’t we win?”

“We will win. The difference in military power and scale is significant. They probably don’t intend to win either, judging by the surrender request they sent me.”

In short, can the enemy world withstand the simultaneous charge of Yogurt Sauce and Shuk-Rimuras? I think it’s impossible.

So, we hold out until the dimensional rift stage and then push through with those two creatures for victory. The enemy knows this too, so they are sending a surrender request instead of negotiating or talking. They are aiming for a ‘good defeat’ rather than a victory.

“But it’s too inefficient. Especially now, the enemy is crossing the dimensional gate and planting flowers in my ecosystem, creating safe zones and setting up camps. They seem to intend to kill the jellies of the Dessert Corps directly.”

Of course, I immediately detected that with the 『Divine Unity』 and sent Yogurt Sauce to grind them down. Anyway, the enemy world still has no way to threaten me.

But, will they really not use any means until the dimensional rift opens?

At the very least, won’t they increase the number of flower magicians to massacre the jellies and Gamchi?

What’s the point of winning if we endure that? There would only be two ruined worlds left. It would be too difficult to look forward to the next round.

Therefore, we must attempt the main plan. We need to enter the dimensional rift phase and ruin the enemy world’s agriculture before relying on Yogurt Sauce’s power.

Otherwise, during the dimensional rift, the enemy will endlessly scatter pollen into my world, aiming for mutual destruction.

The problem is, that’s not easy either. The enemy received an excellent piece of land.

《Sky Garden LV.8: A sky island adjacent to 《Great Sky》. It creates an optimal environment for plants to grow by condensing the flow of the sky and elemental magic.》

This was the land that Mukite received initially. A piece of land specialized for plant cultivation among the sky islands.

And during the three collisions, only the Sky Island, or a similar sky world, appeared. The fourth world was also a mountainous terrain connected to the Sky Island.

By combining these sky island terrains and creating an artificial spiritual realm, trying various things, the world of Mugite had a vast agricultural land in the aerial garden that could be reached from the mountain top, even though the ground land was a bit narrow.

In the world of Mugite, the plains below the mountainous terrain obtained from the fifth and sixth collisions were all deserts and unattractive grasslands, so all the food was supplied from the aerial garden. That was fine. The existing land was so good.

With the beautiful harmony of artificial spiritual realms, natural spiritual realms, and the grown aerial garden, farming was always abundant. When farming there, food was delivered to the residents below through the mountains.

It was difficult to lift things from below to above, but delivering food from above to below was quite easy, and since the river flowed from the top of the mountain to the bottom, it was easy to supply food to the entire world by simply loading it onto a boat and lowering it.

And this structure was astonishingly stable. Of course, it was intentionally built this way.

In short, the agricultural land was not on the ‘ground’ but on the Sky Island, which could be reached by crossing the desert, climbing the mountain, passing through the city built on the mountain, and crossing the cloud bridge. This made it possible to ‘defend the city while receiving food normally,’ which was impossible in ordinary civilizations. Because the fields were not outside the city but ‘above’ the city built on the mountain.

Therefore, in the world of Mugite, as long as the cities, mountain fortresses, and villages built around the mountain were well fortified with walls and palisades, they could ‘hold out’ against quite powerful worlds.

Can’t they attack the aerial garden? Impossible. That place was the highest level land, practically the home base of this world.

And at this point, the seventh collision, it was impossible for any master of the mystery of ＜space-time＞ to open a dimensional gate to the home base where the gods resided and pour out monsters.

And of course, it was impossible for non-humans. If that were possible, every player would have learned ＜space-time＞ magic and dropped elite troops into the enemy capital as soon as the collision started and ended the game.

Breaking through by land was practically impossible. Even if a dimensional gate was opened in the desert region, a vast flower field grown in the desert would welcome them. A demonic flower field that melts all the creatures of the dessert legion.

And if they broke through that flower field, they would face a mountain full of fortified cities and mountain fortresses. Strong archers and slingers would rain arrows and stones from above.

If they managed to break through that city, they would encounter a cloud path that thoroughly defended against intruders through defensive spiritual structures, and only by crossing that cloud path would they finally reach the enemy’s agricultural land, the aerial garden.

And if they could break through this, it meant they had already killed all the enemy races and pushed to the final line of defense. It meant they had already won.

“Really, it’s too much. How can the agricultural land be in the deepest part?”

There was a reason why Biin was grumbling. One of the reasons the main plan worked successfully was that there was no one to station an army in the agricultural land when the war broke out.

Usually, agricultural land is left outside, and crops are stored inside the city while fighting.

But the land structure where the agricultural land is ‘above’ the city… It was truly perplexing. It was impossible to attack with a frontal assault.

Therefore, for several years during the dimensional gate period, a lull continued.

The world of Mugite became more confident in the fact that the enemy could not attack their world and grew their power even more during those years.

They directly received the mystery of Tademoira, practiced the mystery of flower spirit arts and plant manipulation, and raised highly defensive and stable mystics.

“No matter how much divine power they have, it’s impossible to change the genes of all the creatures in their ecosystem! It’s even more impossible to evolve them in a short period! We win by holding out!”

However, Biin did not take such a defensive strategy. As if to put pressure on the enemy, they threw various Gamchi, including Bisyakits, and slightly larger puddings and candies to annoy them.

But the enemy was not a player like Elguano, who only raised ＜culture＞.

The world of Mugite had evenly high stats in all abilities. ＜Politics＞ was also like that. Their soldiers, exhausted from defending against the pouring Gamchi and jelly-like creatures, were instead filled with morale that they could do it.

And finally, the dimensional passage period began.

“Now we can attack back…”

When they tried to organize a legion in the world of Mugite to infiltrate the enemy world, something terrifying happened.

In the middle of the mountain ridge, a dimensional passage opened in the sky, and the terrible eye of Yog-Tosos appeared from there.

“Uh…?”

“Don’t be afraid! Tademoira! Prepare for defense!”

Yog-Tosoth widened the open dimensional passage and unleashed the most powerful and destructive attack magic he could muster.

A harmony of space-time magic, wind, and climate magic. It was a spell that poured out physical lightning, storms, torrential rain, and gathered rocks, all of which disrupted the climate and created a flow storm from the space-time rift.

【Blessing of the spring breeze! Always be with us!】

And astonishingly, Tademoira, who had grown stronger by gathering all the resources of the world, blocked it with his own mystery.

Yog-Tosoth, enraged, exerted his full power and endlessly poured out a magical storm, but Tademoira desperately used his mystery to push it back, as if determined not to let anyone in his world get hurt.

And it was clear that Tademoira, who could also draw on the power of his own world, had a significant advantage over Yog-Tosoth, who had to widen the dimensional passage and use magic. In short, Yog-Tosoth’s magic had no effect at all.

【You scoundrels! Do you still, still refuse to kneel before Yog-Tosoth!】

Yog-Tosoth was furious. But that was all. Yog-Tosoth had exhausted all his magical power and had no more spells to use.

For Tademoira, it was a reassuring situation. He had also exhausted all his energy.

However, Yog-Tosoth was actually a bait. A bait to make Tademoira use his defensive magic and become exhausted.

Veen blocked the narrowing dimensional passage with his divine power.

【Huh?】

“Huh?”

The creation and the god were simultaneously bewildered. Could there be a creature stronger than that? No, that couldn’t be. Then what on earth is coming out?

Veen gave a revelation to the creatures of his ecosystem.

He had forced the overgrown creatures, which had proliferated excessively due to the continuous elimination of their natural enemies by throwing them into the opposing world, to grow to an unsustainable size by feeding them nectar.

“What is that?”

A swarm of 98,000 Ttegamchi passed through the dimensional passage and covered the sky, flying towards the enemy’s aerial garden.

Even if those small Ttegamchi, like sparrows, ate only one grain a day, there would be no grass left in the farmland in three days.

Tademoira, foreseeing that future, screamed.

【aaah!!!】

“All troops, immediately ascend to the aerial garden! Stop those birds!!!”

And as if it were only natural, from the ground, the camel units led by Dalgonakta, along with the Yanggangs, Dark Rim, and other elite infantry forces that had been prepared, began to press the ground.

Of course, the aerial garden was not completely undefended, and it activated its own mystery, killing about 50,000 of the incoming Ttegamchi with its own defensive capabilities.

The problem was that it couldn’t kill the remaining 40,000. The small Ttegamchi, somehow resistant to pollen, began to greedily devour all the plants in the garden, even eating the flowers.

“No. No!”

And after clearing all the pouring monstrous creatures, a lull.

The aerial garden was completely devastated. Most of the military forces were injured or killed while dealing with the mad monstrous creatures rushing into the city from the desert.

“Oh my god.”

【Creator, do not worry. I will surely restore this garden.】

“Yes, Tademoira. I trust only you.”

Confidently, Tademoira sowed seeds again in the desolate garden, provided nutrients, and nurtured the plants.

He didn’t notice that a few species of grass, which were not visible at all, were growing in the garden through the seeds attached to the excrement and film of the Gamchi.

No matter how legendary the creation, it is impossible to find a few newly introduced grasses in a vast garden.
