But... my superiors in other regions aren't my superiors, so I'll just do it.
Anyway, it's not like I'll be the one taking the blame, right?
Everyone hesitated for a moment, then answered in unison, and returned to their posts to begin pre-battle preparations.
The Pacific UEDD's actions were too swift, but also too obvious.
As a result, other countries around the world and UEDD branches discovered that Li Xiang was determined to take action.
Other representatives wanted to stop the Asian UEDD's actions, but because they could not intervene militarily, the Pacific UEDD completely disregarded the other representatives' obstruction and began preparing the device to open a gateway to hell on an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean at the fastest speed.
It is a Pandora's box; once opened, the peace that humanity has painstakingly built will be shattered.
War is not just a war on the front lines.
War requires logistical support and the participation of countless people in production to meet the needs of the front lines.
Not to mention waging war against demons in hell.
At that time, the whole world may fall into wartime mode, and the shadow of war will hang over the earth.
Other representatives of the UEDD had more or less experienced World War II, and some even experienced World War I. As such, after they came to power as doves, they were extremely supportive of the ideas brought by Li Xiang.
Peace, humanity needs peace.
Demons are indeed terrifying, but among humans, there have also emerged beings capable of resisting them—the demon humans—who are the best proof of defeating demons with human bodies.
There are also weapons, UEDC's brand-new equipment, which is fully capable of dealing with regular demon invasions.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need for such an extreme and proactive attack on Hell.
Even if a large number of demons have appeared among humans, doesn't that mean that humans can completely defeat demons and control this power?
Since power is so easy to obtain, why not use it and turn it into human power?
Based on these ideas, Li Xiang's behavior was considered by the UEDD to be extreme hawkish thinking, so a meeting of the Earth Joint Defense Council was immediately held at the United Nations.
Li Xiang was the focus and center of this meeting.
“Advisor Li Xiang, you have taken it upon yourself to initiate the plan to open up Hell. Do you know that you will plunge humanity into another war with demons?”
One representative spoke first.
In this situation, Li Xiang is now isolated and helpless.
Satan was very satisfied with his plan.
Moreover, the plan yielded unexpected results.
Originally, Satan thought that humanity would unite and discover his conspiracy, but since there was no way to resolve it, he prepared to go to Hell to fight the demons to the death.
But, I never expected this.
Humanity has chosen to continue maintaining a public peace.
However, this choice cannot be called wrong, because if war is initiated, the fragile peace that humanity has worked so hard to build will crumble without a fight. Just a month ago, people were saying that the world had united and that there was world peace.
But a month later, the war resumed, even though the enemy was a demon.
UEDD's reputation will be ruined, and people will no longer trust UEDD.
This unexpected gain made Satan curious to see what the giant would do.
So he chose to release a portion of his power to come to Earth, to see the giants' choices and humanity's last boring tricks.
Of course, since we're already here, let's add fuel to the fire.
Using his power as a high-ranking angel, Satan controlled the video feed of the United Nations meeting and broadcast it worldwide.
Just like when Li Xiang first arrived in this world, he once again stood before the people of Earth.
"Interesting, I'll try it too."
"Humanity yearns for peace?"
Satan spoke coldly, conjuring up a suit and walking into the venue.
The delegates at the meeting were preparing to question Li Xiang when a strange creature with a snow-white body, wearing a suit, but with wings on its back walked in.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. My name is Satan, and I am an angel from beyond Earth."
Satan placed his hand on his chest and introduced himself in an ethereal voice.
"I know that humans on Earth are currently in conflict with demons, so I've brought you some truths about this matter that you might enjoy."
The other representatives looked at Satan in a panic, but seeing that Satan did indeed have the appearance of an angel, rather than being as ugly as a demon, they forced themselves to calm down.
Only Li Xiang quickly drew his gun and aimed it at Satan.
"Who are you! Are you a demon?"
“No, it’s obvious I am an angel, giant. You seem to be too nervous. We can have a friendly conversation.”
What Li Xiang didn't know was that everyone on Earth was watching the entire meeting via live stream.
For example, the appearance of the angel Satan, and Li Xiang's sudden action of drawing a gun and pointing it at the angel.
Chapter 177 Giant, you are the invader!
Inside the bakery, young baker Hokuto Seiji is serving customers.
"Oh my, sister-in-law, did you buy so much bread today?"
An ordinary-looking but kind-faced middle-aged woman was buying a large bag of bread here.
"There's nothing I can do, my child likes it, he just loves your sweet bread." The woman packed the bread away while chatting.
Even so, we probably won't be able to eat this much bread. It would be a shame to waste it. How about I give you a smaller portion?
"No, no, let me tell you. My child has become a demon, so he eats a lot."
“Devilman?” Hokuto Seiji grasped the key word.
"Yes, it's Devilman. Although I don't understand these things either, the police said there's nothing to worry about, and the child's health is actually getting better and better, so we parents are relieved... Devilman, I heard that becoming a Devilman makes you very powerful. I wonder if my son will turn into a giant like the one that appeared on TV a month ago?"
The woman took the bread, then started to daydream, greeted Hokuto Seiji, and left.
A month ago, Li Xiang came into this world.
Footage of the battle in the abandoned factory was leaked to the internet by someone with ulterior motives.
However, the scene where Li Xiang transforms into Ultraman Tiga and purifies the demons of the world was not released, so the rest of the world does not know what kind of existence the Titans are.
Those high-ranking officials knew that Li Xiang was from Giant.
However, out of fear of Li Xiang, they only tried to subtly probe the power of the giants, but in the end, they were all fooled by Li Xiang.
One thing needs to be clear: the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or landscape) has undergone earth-shattering changes, partly due to the military strength and tough attitude displayed by Li Xiang himself.
Therefore, the general public only knows that the establishment of UEDD is related to an outsider.
But for most people, these things are too far removed from their lives.
For example, this old lady who came to buy bread in order to become the son of a demon.
She didn't understand demons and politics at all; all she knew was that her son had changed his appearance, but the doctors said he was healthy, and might even be healthier.
So she put aside her anxiety and continued to take care of her son...
As soon as the older woman left, a beautiful woman rushed into the store.
"Beidou-kun! Something terrible has happened!"
That's Nan Xizi.
"Nan, what happened? Why are you all so flustered?" Beidou untied his apron and left the counter to greet Nan Xizi.
Nan Xizi held up her phone and randomly opened a video app, which automatically took her into a live stream room.
In the picture, there is a familiar figure.
"Look, this is a sound, right!"
Upon seeing this, Beidou went closer to take a look and indeed it was making a sound.
"How is this going?"
"There is a division within UEDD. Hibiki seems to want to launch an attack on Hell, but the other representatives do not trust Hibiki."
"Don't you believe him?" Beidou stared angrily at the live stream.
"What are these guys doing? Why don't they trust Hibiki? They're bastards."
In the United Nations conference hall, Satan's arrival further disrupted the already chaotic meeting.
"I am an angel, an angel Satan, and I bring news from the demons."
With a wave of his hand, Satan displayed an image on the screen behind him.
That's... Earth!
Everyone in the meeting watched the content on the screen, which gradually moved from outer space to Earth!
But upon arriving on Earth, the scenery was not familiar to humans.
There are no skyscrapers, no farmland or houses.
Only, the devil.
That's right, the Earth in the picture is full of demons.
They live freely, hunting each other, forming a pure ecosystem, a complete food web.
"Look at these demons, what have you discovered?"
With a smile, Satan introduced the truth about demons and even the Earth to all the representatives present and all the humans in the live broadcast room.
"Demons were originally life forms on Earth, life forms that appeared even earlier than humans!" Satan made a startling statement.
"Humans are the ones who drove away the invaders who were the demons!"
As Satan's simple and straightforward words fell, everyone in the meeting, as well as the viewers in the live broadcast room, were in an uproar.
"how is this possible?"
"What? Demons are actually life forms on Earth?"
