## Chapter 1479 – Heavenly Demon Kim Kat
“Ah…!”
Shahran seemed touched by those words, but she wasn’t a leader who represented the entire elven race. The Queen of the Elves was more of a symbol than someone with real power. It was closer to a constitutional monarchy.
But an explanation was possible.
“Anyway, keep that in mind. You can tell the other elves about this, right?”
“Yes! I will!”
“Good thinking.”
Whatever the case, I’d have to come to the elven kingdom regularly to recharge that big tree. Then, naturally, I’d participate in official elven events. If things went that way, the elves would accept me as naturally as water flowing.
I walked with Shahran, talking about things like that.
“It’s truly sad and unfortunate about the World Tree. But to use so much power for us elves until it was so battered… that heart is truly…”
Shahran wiped away tears as she said that beside me.
It was true that the World Tree only cared about the elves when the lich invasion happened. So, about half of it was true. It was me who devoured the World Tree, after all.
“The World Tree’s concern for the elves. That touched my heart.”
Because it thought of the elves, I didn’t destroy it and instead absorbed it.
“From now on, let’s work together to eliminate things like humans and elves fighting just because their races are different. Got it?”
“Of course, we must!”
It was something we had to do for the stabilization of the world.
Still, let’s properly stabilize the human world first and then try to integrate. Just the fact that I’m a god collaborating with the World Tree will make the elves follow me. But this will take some time.
I talked about this and that with Shahran.
And I returned home.

“Now, everything must go my way.”
I remember the painful life I had when I first fell into this world.
This world isn’t like a developed country in modern Earth. It’s harsh, cruel, and terrible. People’s lives aren’t very precious, and public safety isn’t good. The life I saw and directly experienced was quite distressing.
“It was a shitty world.”
This Kim Kat doesn’t like that.
Why is this world such a shitty place?
When I fell into this world, I changed my common sense and actions to adapt. I changed. I changed myself for survival.
Now, I’ve long accepted the changed self and made it my belief. I’ve become strong. I’ve become the Heavenly Demon. I’m proud of myself. I love the life I’ve lived. I am Kim Kat. Of course, all of this was established because this world was a shitty place.
I still think this shitty world is shitty.
“A world where it’s quite difficult for people to live like people.”
Of course, there will be beings who like this kind of world. But, obviously, I don’t give a damn about how those guys feel. It doesn’t matter to me at all.
—People shouldn’t have to live so poorly.
So, I’ll change it.
I’ll change this world into a good place according to my whims.
I’ll change it into a world that meets my standards, a place that I think is good enough.
That is Fusion Confucianism.
And I am the only one in this world who can do such a thing as I please. I will force my beliefs, built up as I please, on everyone. With this transcendent power. With this absolute power that doesn’t allow any resistance or opposition, I will make this world a good place.
Because.
The world my children will live in must be a good world.
The children of the new era must never experience this shitty otherworld life. If I don’t do that, one day, dozens or hundreds of my children will ask me this.
`Dad. Are you a god?`
`Yeah. I’m a god.`
`But when I go outside, it seems like there are too many people living like crap.`
`What?`
`It’s too inhumane…! Why is the world like this when our dad is a god?!`
`Wait a minute!`
Now that I’ve become a god.
The world is screwed up. People are living like idiots. Justice isn’t served. I wonder if there’s even any good in this world.
All of this is my responsibility when people feel this way.
I can change it.
I have the power and ability to do so.
So, I will act.
“I can’t leave people’s lives in such a mess.”
As an F-rank adventurer, I know how those poor bastards live.
“Welfare Heavenly Demon, on.”
Returning, I began to work on stabilizing the country in earnest.
Because I had finished all the other urgent matters.
* * *
“As you know, my motto is to create a world where ordinary people can live ordinary lives. That is Fusion Confucianism. Innocent people must be able to live as innocent people.”
Kadia, Elise, and Hilde nodded in satisfaction at my words.
“Can people who live ordinary lives working in the city suddenly suffer or be attacked by criminals? Can children be abused and become targets of violence and crime just because they are small and weak? Can merchants traveling by carriage be attacked by bandits or monsters?”
“Absolutely not, Kat-nim!!! Such a thing must never happen!!!”
—Thump!
Hilde slammed the desk and stood up, shouting with clenched fists.
“That’s right. That’s exactly it. No individual should be forced to endure injustice for any reason. There is too much injustice in this world. We must eliminate that injustice.”
“Good words. So, what is the standard for injustice?”
“Of course, the standard for injustice must be interpreted in a Fusion Confucian way.”
I had already finished writing all the Fusion Confucian books.
The order of the Heavenly Demon Theocracy will be maintained by Fusion Confucian values.
“For example, a swindler swindled farmers. About 10 gold in total. But he squandered it all on his own pleasures. So, what? He spent it all and has no money to repay? What the hell should we do then?”
“That heretic must be tortured and then killed!”
—Thump!
This time, it was Elise who slammed the desk and stood up.
“To dare squander the money earned by swindling in such a way…! Forgiveness itself is impossible! The value of the farmers’ precious 10 gold is more precious than the lives of tens of millions of swindlers who have coldly abandoned even their mother’s warm womb!”
Elise also trembled with clenched fists, passionately speaking…!
“So, I will say it here and now! If a swindler who has swindled more than 1 gold has spent all that money, enact a law that they must be tortured and then burned at the stake after the trial! Moreover, there are so many laws I want to enact!!!”
Perhaps because we were discussing the laws of the Heavenly Demon Theocracy, Elise’s enthusiasm was burning brightly. Well, Elise is that kind of member. Only me, Hilde, Kadia, and Elise were in this place right now.
—Clap clap clap!
“Elise-nim…! That was a truly moving speech! I think that’s how it should be!”
Of course, Hilde also had similar ideas to Elise, so she even clapped and praised Elise. At those words, Elise blushed and became embarrassed.
“I, I just said what was obvious. I feel good that Hilde-nim understands… Hehe.”
It’s a really heartwarming scene.
“Yes. You spoke well, Elise. But Elise, let me ask you something.”
“What is it?”
“If you just execute them like that, what about the money that was swindled?”
“That is…”
Elise paused for a moment.
“Look, Elise. The swindler dies, right? Then, at that point, the farmers who lost their money are forced to endure injustice by the law. What they want is to get their money back, but the court just killed him? Then where did my money go? Isn’t the court a son of a bitch?”
“Ah… but. Saint, isn’t it unlikely that a vile bastard who only swindles would have the ability to repay such a large sum of money? I think it’s an unfortunate but unavoidable situation.”
Hoo.
“There are truly many things in this world that cannot coexist. If you choose one, you cannot choose the other. I think that’s common sense. If you can’t hope for compensation, then you should at least make sure the punishment is certain.”
This is what Elise thinks.
“Common sense, huh… Elise. What am I?”
“Yes? Saint, you are a god.”
“That’s right. A god who destroys common sense. Elise. It’s not an unavoidable situation.”
If you commit a crime.
You cannot die until you have paid all compensation.
“You can’t just kill them. That 10 gold… no. Since he swindled all the farmers, including the compensation, it’s 15 gold. Adding the 15 gold fine paid to the state, it’s a total of 30 gold. He cannot die until he repays all 30 gold.”
“Ah.”
“You have to lock him up in a sugarcane field for decades and make him pay off the money through forced labor.”
Of course, inhumane treatment and forced medical services for survival will be provided for a fee without consent.
“After that? Well, do we really need to kill him? He’ll live well on his own. If it doesn’t work out, we can have him re-employed in the sugarcane field to make a living.”
Then, one swindler will be reborn as a wonderful part of society. We just caught one criminal, but we get a profit of several gold. This can be said to be a very healthy and happy thing.
“Such… a method.”
Elise, with her mouth open, quietly sat down.
“It feels like my eyes are opening, Saint. Certainly. If that is realized, no one will be forced to endure injustice.”
Of course, vicious and heinous criminals like swindlers are not people and have no human rights.
“I think that’s a good point. Not receiving fair compensation can be said to be the same as being forced to endure injustice.”
“Hehe, of course, it’s the same. Anyway. What’s the most important thing to create such a world in the first place? It’s public safety.”
Strict, solemn, cheerful, and righteous psycho.
Holy Knight.
“So, I’m going to start with that now. Kadia. You have the training curriculum for the Holy Knight training center, right?”
“Hmm, I don’t have it right now, but I can get it if I request it.”
“Get that for me.”
“Huh? Kat-nim? Then, could it be…?!”
Hilde covered her mouth.
“You’re thinking of creating a Kat-nim version of the Holy Knight school!!!”
We need to raise those public officials from the beginning.
“That’s what I’m planning.”
“Kyaaaaaaak! Oh my god!!!”
The Holy Knights of the Heavenly Demon Theocracy, firmly armed with the Fusion Confucian spirit, will be very useful. From police executives to various legal professionals. If righteous superhuman Holy Knights who worship me hold law and order tightly, safety will be guaranteed in every corner of people’s lives.
“A Holy Knight Academy!”
The school principal, yeah.
Should I entrust it to Elise, who doesn’t have a clear position right now?
We can invite Holy Knights from each order as professors. Of course, we’ll have to educate them about Fusion Confucianism as well. But there’s no problem. In the first place, there are quite a few similarities between the doctrines of religious people and Fusion Confucianism.
