Chapter 197: Urrr! Kill the Evil Spirit! Urrr! 3

Urrr! Kill the Evil Spirit! Urrr! 3
While Alice wasn’t as intelligent as her super-hyper-intelligent auxiliary personality, Theresa, she still possessed more experience and wisdom gained from living multiple lives than most.
She knew that simply eliminating the source of the problem wasn’t always the solution.
For example, when she was the Demon King, a human kingdom invaded demon territory and assassinated their king.
But upon closer inspection, it turned out that the king had been taking a vague stance on the war, and the war itself was a result of heated competition between the royalist and aristocratic factions, a way to temporarily vent domestic and international dissatisfaction.
There were pro-war nobles, and the majority of the kingdom’s ministers were moderate, so they intended to send troops to the border for a show of force rather than start a real war.
However, when the demons assassinated the king, what was supposed to be a demonstration turned into a real war.
In the end, what could have ended without any deaths resulted in a bloodbath.
Of course, the kingdom declared the war and spilled the blood, but too many unnecessary lives were lost.
Ultimately, the situation required war negotiations with the kingdom, not just the assassination of their king. Bringing this to the present, Alice realized that simply destroying hell or the false gods wouldn’t solve all the problems of the Enchantment of the Fallen layer.
Let’s assume Alice breaks her contract with hell and kills all the false gods.
The disappearance of the object of faith doesn’t mean the god disappears.
The mad followers who remember, fantasize about, and distort the existence of the faith were a much more significant problem.
Even if the god disappears, the madness and faith remain.
Of course, some false gods whose faith is maintained by showing tangible and physical miracles could be dealt with by simply eliminating the false god’s main body.
However, the seeds that the malicious false gods had sown in human affairs were too deep and numerous. Even if they disappeared, the followers would continue their fanatical ways, spreading their own oral traditions, stories, holy wars, and doctrines.
Naturally, since false gods feed on faith, the false gods she killed could be resurrected in three days, like some Nazareth monkey wrench, if the followers still existed.
In other words, Alice needed to eliminate the false gods while also guiding the 30 million people of the Enchantment of the Fallen layer away from the enchantment of fanaticism.
What she thought would be as simple as dropping bombs on hell and killing a few false gods suddenly became much more difficult.
[Propaganda… surprisingly simple.]
“Simple?”
Alice, who had contacted Sabrina for help, tilted her head.
Simple?
I ordered it, but to incite an entire layer?
Not just any incitement, but against slaves of a madness-filled pseudo-religion?
[I’ll show you the details when I get there. Oh, can I mobilize the lower layer’s public funds and Labor Party members?]
“You gathered them. Do as you see fit.”
Thus, Sabrina, without saying much, led her subordinates and enjoyed the luxury of riding the layer elevator in Alice’s name, arriving at the Enchantment of the Fallen layer.
“Labor Party First Secretary Sabrina and 10,000 enthusiastic Labor Party members, we greet Grand Governor!”
“…?”
Wait, why are there so many people??
Valet and the executor corps looked at Alice meaningfully upon seeing this.
I thought she was just an Overseer, but she’s a political Overseer?
How does she have so many personal forces??
And Grand Governor?
What kind of Grand Governor is she?
However, Alice couldn’t show her embarrassment.
Look at those burning eyes!
Sabrina aside, the ‘enthusiastic’ Labor Party members beneath her were staring at her with sparkling eyes, and even some of the executor corps were exclaiming, ‘Oooooh!’
She had to at least create the image of a dignified leader.
“You’ve worked hard to come here, Sabrina.”
“Not at all! Then we will immediately begin the operation!”
Operation? What operation???
You haven’t told me anything yet?
But Alice, unable to say those words, had to wear the relaxed yet decisive expression of an Übermensch (superman), the leader of a fascist socialist.
For the record, Alice wasn’t particularly skilled at acting or controlling her emotions.
Theresa simply manipulated her facial muscle sensors, saying, ‘Yap, become a dignified expression.’
In reality, Alice was thinking, ‘What the hell is this!?’
“Now! Let’s spread our socially national-humanism, aiming for the Übermensch, here! Let’s bestow this proud people’s honey water upon these idiotic religious fanatics!”
“Yes!”
“Leave it to us, comrade!”
‘What the hell is going on! What’s an Übermensch, you weeb!’
And so, the 10,000 Labor Party members, far more red than before Alice left the lower layer for her mission, immediately began to act as moles throughout the Enchantment of the Fallen layer.
As soon as Sabrina arrived, the first thing she did was mobilize party members to spread leaflets and act as moles, and she began to shower the layer with the enormous amount of money Alice had received from various missions.
Alice didn’t know how she was distributing it.
She wondered what use money would be in this madness-crazed layer, but after watching for a while, postponing Sira’s pilgrimage schedule, the effects appeared surprisingly quickly.
“Everyone, what is a god? It is a name we always miss! It is our heart! God is the name we have longed for, shed tears for, and thirsted for over the years!”
The Enchantment of the Fallen layer was technologically similar to 20th-century Earth, but strangely vulnerable in terms of ideology.
To say that it was vulnerable in terms of ideology meant that they indiscriminately imported new ideologies like faith, accepting them without critical thinking.
The knowledge class of the Ark was exclusively passed down to wealthy tycoons and nobles, so the residents of the Enchantment of the Fallen layer easily absorbed Sabrina’s socialist ideology, whatever it was, like a sponge, without any filtering.
Thanks to this, it was very easy for Sabrina and the people she deployed to operate.
“But look at reality! What has God given us?”
“Blood and madness! Tattered families and even worse, a reality of squalor!”
“They always say that if we offer, we will be blessed, and the afterlife will be different, but they have no interest in our miserable reality!”
“That’s right! The gods who force faith make our reality miserable and fill their bellies with our blood and pus!”
At first, of course, the fanatics laughed at them.
As if that would work. We have God.
The cult leaders rather encouraged their followers and tried to unite them.
They are pitiful children without even faith, so do not lose your way… they said.
“Alright! Here are the rations!”
“Stew full of white rice and meat!”
“Take fairy tale books and ice pops for your children on the way back!”
Huh? Aren’t you being cowardly by suddenly using capital? How can you call yourselves socialists!
Ahem, in a paradise for the people, giving is not capital but fair distribution and equality.
Perhaps because they had an abundance of capital, the party members began a money fight, and the defection of the followers began to accelerate.
Faith or whatever, my stomach is empty right now, and my family is starving!
Watching that scene, Alice thought.
‘This is crazy. I had that much money?’
She herself had forgotten, but Alice held shares in the Saya Guild, which completely occupied the Satellite City Zain, and she had successfully carried out all the large-scale missions ordered by the central administration.
It was impossible for her not to have money, and that money was being used not only for the lower layer but also for the operation and management of the Labor Party and the cultivation of the propaganda department.
Even so, there was still money to spare, so even if Sabrina carried out a capital distribution in the Enchantment of the Fallen layer, Alice’s bank balance wouldn’t run dry.
It was a funny thing to see now.
Those who enthusiastically praised and followed the Übermensch, and who preached the sanctity of the Labor Party and socialism by using capital.
What a terrible hybrid.
For the record, the Labor Party with plenty of capital was the strongest.
In any case, the no-holds-barred red ideology attack using capital was more than successful, it was having a tremendous effect.
Even the ‘spell of passion’ that was cast throughout the layer, which was originally used to promote fanaticism, was quickly spreading the ‘Alice-made red ideology,’ which had a strange commonality with religion.
“True Labor Party members are the most superior humans in all layers, and they are outstandingly superior to the humans of the layer!”
“The excellence of Labor Party members can be proven by science!”
“Ruincrest, Abunafia, and Kalitia layers are human pigs overflowing with nobles!”
“Yellow Wheel and Nine Dragons residential zone are inferior races that cannot be called human!”
“Outside the outer walls, there are calamities that are too shameful to even mention!”
“But the most vicious of all beings existing on the foundation of this Ark are the damned false gods who feed on our faith!”
“Killing them all and eradicating them from this world is what promises a bright future for our humanity!”
“Waaaaaah!”
Thanks to the enthusiastic actions of the red Labor Party members who praised the Übermensch with capital, the streets were instantly filled with such words.
It would be suicidal to shout such things in the midst of fanaticism, but the demons were stronger than the average human, and more importantly, Alice had ordered the executor corps to protect Sabrina and her party members.
In the end, the resisting fanatics were beaten and chased away by the batons of the executors wearing red armbands like the vanguard… no, the party members, and Sabrina and her party members seemed to be comforting the hearts of the tired and weary people.
“Really? If I become a party member, I won’t have to go hungry?”
“Don’t worry, comrade! Our party provides rations every day for our comrades!”
“What about the debt… what about the debt? I came to this layer because of debt….”
“Debt? Deeeebt? Debt is impossible in the society of a sacred Labor Party member! We will help you, comrade!”
“Aaaaah! Thank you, thank you…!”
“Forget the thanks, comrade! There is someone else to send real thanks to!”
“Who is it? Another god?”
“Of course not! It’s our Übermensch, Grand Governor Alice!”
“…?”
“Haha! You have a face of incomprehension, comrade! Well, we have to start with what an Übermensch is….”
The people of the Enchantment of the Fallen layer were crazy, but they weren’t stupid.
They absolutely knew that their acts of self-harm, murder, crime, promiscuity, human sacrifice, and cannibalism were ‘bad deeds’ according to human ethical standards.
But all they do is self-harm and pray when they become fanatics. But nothing is actually helpful, and reality becomes impoverished. Because reality is impoverished, they become attached to fanaticism again.
Does the Ark or the central administration help with this?
Yeah, you guys were sent to this layer to do this in the first place~ Quietly become the fertilizer of hell.
In the first place, the central administration is constantly carrying out the sacred act of protecting the vast majority of humanity from disaster 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so it doesn’t pay any attention to individual unhappiness or welfare.
In other words, Sabrina and the Labor Party members… no, their master, Grand Governor Alice, who is called ‘Übermensch,’ were the first to represent the positions of the people who had the hardest time living in the Ark and to provide direct welfare and support.
Critical thinking or whatever, they directly help my difficult life, so what other god is there?
Grand Governor Alice is God!
“Everyone, what is God? What is Übermensch? That’s our Grand Governor Alice! I’m talking about the missing one, everyone!!”
“Waaaaaah!”
In about 2 months… no, it didn’t actually take 2 months.
The wave of madness disappeared in the major cities of the Enchantment of the Fallen layer, red flags were hung in every house, and people began to wear red armbands, and a wave of red began to flow through the world.
“…Alice-Overseer-nim.”
“……What.”
Valet asked Alice, who was watching the scene.
I can’t see what kind of expression she has.
But Valet felt like he could tell without looking at Alice’s face.
“Did-you-perhaps-intend-this?”
“……”
Alice couldn’t say anything.
