Not Going to Agree? Then I'll Keep Killing Until You Do!
Just as Mike had predicted, after six hours, the previously empty United Human Government Parliament was once again filled with representatives from various countries.
This time, however, all the representatives from various countries who came were filled with apprehension and their faces showed fear.
"Now, on behalf of all humanity and the United Government, we hereby announce the formal reorganization into the 'Human Holy Terra Alliance Council'!"
Mike, dressed in a suit and tie, stood on the podium, holding a prepared speech. He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, the Human Holy Terra Alliance Council will appoint Mr. Alvin Mr. Valshus as its lifelong High Councilor, possessing unconditional veto power. Those who agree, please raise your hands."
More than two hundred countries that had just been brutally beaten raised their hands without hesitation.
"Very good."
Mike looked around and, seeing no one objecting, began reading the second point. "Under Mr. Alvin, five additional seats will be added for the Terra parliamentary nations, to be held by the United States, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia respectively. These nations will also have veto power even if the High Councilor does not participate in the resolution. Raise your hand if you find this easy."
"Agree!"
"Agreed! Agreed!"
The disgraced representatives from various countries, like pawns to be manipulated, all raised their hands in agreement.
Disagree?
Just kidding, I just got a beating, who would dare disagree?
The neighbor's Little Japan. Because they disagreed, the temperature across the entire island is now so high you could barbecue meat. They're probably a familiar sight nationwide. With that example before them, who would dare disagree now?
Of course, many of them harbored ulterior motives and secretly felt resentment and hatred towards this joint war between the five major powers.
"Now, let us welcome--- the High Councilor of the Human Terra Alliance Council, Alvin..."
"Mr. Valshus!" Mike led the applause, then stepped aside.
A projection then appeared.
Alvin sat in the highest position, followed by the five major powers, and then the seats for representatives from more than two hundred countries on the circular staircase.
This can be considered our first parliament.
Alvin said calmly, "The goal is simple: for all of humanity, to resist the Devourer Civilization. Everyone can share their thoughts."
"High Councilor, we wholeheartedly agree with your appointment to the highest position in the Human Holy Terra Alliance Council. We believe that under your leadership, humanity will achieve a glorious victory."
Suddenly, someone stepped forward and shamelessly began to frantically praise Alvin: "We believe that you are God, an angel sent to save us, the redemption of mankind, but we also have a small suggestion..."
I hope you will accept this."
"Who is he?"
Alvin frowned, a feeling of annoyance rising within him, but he didn't show it on his face.
"High Councilor, he is the representative of the Magpie Country." Hao Xiaoxi, as the secretary of the United Government Parliament, immediately identified the other party.
"The hoopoe—" Alvin stared at him expressionlessly, "What are you trying to say?"
"That's right, Mr. Chief of the High Councilor."
Seeing that the other party agreed, the hoopoe representative pressed on, shaking his head and saying, "I believe that the attacks between Xia Kingdom and Dongying have gone beyond the scope of 'warrior' and constitute a retaliatory act of war. Such actions are completely contrary to the original intention of the Human Holy Terra Alliance Council."
Zhou Zhezhi raised an eyebrow, but restrained himself for the time being because of Alvin.
"Then what?"
Alvin remained expressionless, tapping his index finger lightly on the table, his gaze fixed on the hoopoe representative, awaiting his next words.
"We suggest you revoke Xia Kingdom's status as a parliamentary state!" The hoopoe's true colors were revealed, like a venomous snake. "If we don't do this, what if Xia Kingdom, relying on its status as a parliamentary state, does something that harms humanity as a whole? Besides, I'm doing this from your perspective, for your own good and the good of the Holy Terra Alliance Council."
"High Councilor!"
Hao Xiaoxi immediately became anxious and was about to speak up to defend her country when Zhou Zhezhi stopped her.
"Xiaoxi, don't get agitated." Zhou Zhezhi her to calm down, then turned to Alvin: "Let the High Councilor decide."
At this point, the representatives of the other four countries tacitly remained silent, neither agreeing nor opposing. They also hoped to use the new political landscape to weaken this powerful nation.
"Who else shares his thoughts?"
Alvin smiled and looked at everyone, "Since this is the Alliance Council, let's all vote. That would be fairer, wouldn't it?"
Very good!
The hoopoe representative clenched his fist; this was the moment he had been waiting for. The reorganization of the new power structure meant that the power structure of humanity would be reshuffled!
This means that this is an opportunity for them. Only by seizing this opportunity can they rise to prominence and become a member of a great power!
In a normal reshuffling, it would be difficult for them to overthrow a superpower, no matter what. But—with Alvin around, it's a different story!
His personal preferences and decisions can influence the power shifts among the world's major powers!
The voting results came out quickly.
219:11!
The US, France, and the UK abstained, Russia opposed, and the remaining votes showed an almost unanimous trend!
The vast majority of countries believe that the status of Xia Kingdom's parliamentarians should be abolished!
Seeing this, the hoopoe was overjoyed. Turning to the expressionless Zhou Zhezhi, it couldn't help but sneer, "High Councilor, as you've seen, this is the will of all humanity. Everyone agrees that Xia Kingdom's status as a parliamentary state should be abolished!"
"Ah--"
Zhou Zhezhi sighed, but didn't seem worried; he just felt a little sad.
When faced with a critical moment, his former allies still chose self-interest, which saddened him greatly.
"Okay, since you've all agreed---"
Alvin deliberately drew out his words, and amidst the expectant gazes of those around him and the anxious looks of Hao Xiaoxi, he sneered, "I, in my capacity as the Speaker of the High Councilor, veto your proposal with a single vote."
"What?!"
The hoopoe representative's face immediately darkened. He had gone to great lengths to win over so many countries and paid such a high price, only to have his efforts rejected with a single vote?!
The stark contrast between Heaven and Hell nearly drove them insane!
"Mr. High Councilor, you'd better reconsider." The hoopoe representative gritted his teeth, his face turning red and purple, looking just like a clown.
Are you threatening me?
Alvin's gaze was devoid of emotion as he stared directly at the hoopoe representative.
"No, Mr. High Councilor, we dare not threaten you, but—" The hoopoe representative, believing he had the support of most nations, straightened his back and spoke with much louder tone, "But as you can see, this is a decision made by all of humanity. The Holy Terra Alliance is an alliance of humanity. Even if you are the High Councilor, you cannot ignore the will of all humanity, can you?"
The hoopoe is not stupid, or rather, it is quite shrewd. The reorganized Holy Terra Alliance Council represents the positions of more than two hundred countries around the world!
Alvin needs them, so he cannot ignore their wishes!
Isn't politics just a game of uniting the majority and isolating the minority?
They lost last time because they stood against the five major powers, but this time the five major powers have also split up, each taking sides as always!
Without the combined might of the five great powers, even Alvin couldn't ignore their request, could he?
"High Councilor, this represents the will of 219 nations!" the hoopoe representative said grimly. "We know you are a human from the future, and we know you have the ability to easily destroy a nation, but—can you destroy 219 nations? Don't forget, the Devourer Civilization still exists; you need our strength and support!"
Two hundred and nineteen countries, representing the majority of the world's population, have nothing to fear from this unyielding force, as long as they are united!
This is the idea represented by the hoopoe.
However, he had no idea what kind of Hell the young man opposite him had gone through.
"Are you threatening me with population data?"
Alvin couldn't help but laugh, his gaze suddenly turning icy and sinister, filling the entire conference room with boundless killing intent. "You disagree, huh? Very well, then I'll kill you until you agree!"
Threaten him? He's got a death wish!
Alvin wanted to show these people through his actions what his veto power relied on!
