The Outbreak of War: A United Nations Proposal

In the spacious conference room, dozens of delegates looked at the corner at the same time. In the corner, Erwin, dressed in military uniform, stood with his back straight and his eyes deep and firm. Beside Erwin, Levi leaned against the patterned wall with his arms crossed.

"Tch! Eldians? What are they anyway?"

"When did it become the Eldians' turn to speak?"

"This is absolutely incomprehensible!"

When the representatives from various countries noticed Erwin's military uniform and realized his Eldians identity, the meeting room erupted in chaos. Some made disparaging remarks, just like those mentioned above, while others whispered amongst themselves.

Faced with the pointing fingers and whispers of the representatives from various countries, Erwin remained calm. Looking around at everyone, Erwin could sense that, apart from the representatives of the Orient countries and Marshal Magath of Marley, almost everyone else present had contempt or even disgust in their eyes.

However, this was to be expected, wasn't it? Erwin cleared his throat and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Thank you, Your Excellency Magath. Now, on behalf of Paradis Island and all the Eldians, I formally propose before all the representatives that, in order to maintain world peace and the harmonious coexistence of all peoples of the world, we suggest the establishment of a World United Nations Assembly, with permanent members..."

Erwin continued speaking, leaving the representatives present dumbfounded. What was this Eldians saying? The United Nations? A member state? Did he know he was just an Eldians? Did he know how much everyone here hated Eldians? How Courage he say such things?

"Furthermore, we Eldians have reached a preliminary agreement with the Marley Empire, under which the Marley Empire will provide free of charge..."

A loud bang interrupted Erwin's words. A representative from the Indi, wearing a turban and looking utterly exasperated, slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and roared at Erwin, "Insolence! How dare you, an Eldians, point fingers at us? Damn demons, why don't you stay on your wretched islands? What right do you have to interfere in our Allied Army meeting? The United Nations? The suggestion is good, but what right do you Eldians have to participate in the United Nations? Go back to your wretched islands!"

The Indi representative's words resonated with many other representatives, some even applauding. However, as the Indi representative gloated, a sharp gaze from beside Erwin sent a chill down his spine. Tracing its source, it was the dwarf leaning against the wall behind the Eldians?

Although Levi's gaze towards the Indi representative was dangerous, Erwin remained unfazed, even smiling. "Representative, please don't be agitated. I'm merely offering a suggestion, not making a decision on your behalf. Furthermore, I don't deny the actions of our ancestors, but we Eldians have no intention of repeating their mistakes. You may call us demons, but even demons have the potential to become angels."

"Heh, easy for you to say. You think you can get away with all the evils of the Eldians with just a few words? You're dreaming!" a representative wearing glasses sneered.

Erwin looked at the representative and countered, "Then what does Your Excellency suggest? Must all of us Eldians commit suicide before you to be satisfied?"

"Heh, I'd like to ask you, do you even have the guts?"

"Then why do you consider us Eldians demons? Our backward era has created backward perceptions. The reason you believe we Eldians evil ultimately stems from the Titan Power, or rather, from the fact that our Eldians possessed power beyond our time. Over the past two years, I've studied the general history of various countries and discovered a pattern..."

Civilization will inevitably replace barbarism, and progress will inevitably replace backwardness. The entire history of humankind is a process of continuous progress and friction. When a country possesses power that surpasses that of other countries, ambition and desire will inevitably drive it to create conflicts or even wars with its neighbors. In fact, this is why I am here today to propose the establishment of the United Nations. The purpose of the United Nations is to prevent and mediate such conflicts. You representatives have been calling us Eldians demons. Shouldn't you take our ancestors as a warning?"Erwin spoke eloquently.

The representatives from various countries were taken aback by what he said. In fact, most of the representatives present were military representatives, since the Allied Army were still at war with the Far East. Therefore, most of the representatives were a bit confused by Erwin's political remarks.

"All that talk is nonsense! We don't care about civilization or anything, you Eldians are just demons! Besides, what's the point of all this talk? The United Nations, why don't you go ask those Russians in the Far East and those hypocrites in Europe if they agree? We're still at war, you Eldians should resolve the war first if you're so capable!" one representative shouted.

Erwin's face darkened, and he stood up abruptly, his tall figure striding forward. Levi followed closely behind. The two approached the representative who had just been shouting. This man, sitting by the window, was startled to see Erwin approaching. He silently compared the difference in Erwin physiques. The representative yelled, "What are you doing! What are you trying to do? Guards, stop them!!"

Upon hearing this, several Marley guards who had been standing in the meeting room immediately stepped forward, blocking Erwin's path and raising their hands to stop Erwin. "Stop!"

Before Erwin could make a move, Levi dodged, kicked one guard to the ground, grabbed another guard's wrist with his right hand and twisted it forcefully! Snap! With a light kick to the knee, another Guard screamed and fell to the ground.

With a series of swift movements, Levi easily dispatched several guards, who lay on the ground groaning in pain. In contrast, Levi didn't even break a sweat. The entire audience was horrified! All the representatives stared in shock and fear at the not-so-tall figure.

"No, no, come any closer!!" The representative who had been shouting earlier was now completely terrified. When Erwin approached, he even let out a woman's scream.

Bang! A sharp pain shot through his back. The representative stared in horror at Erwin, who had slammed him against the window behind Erwin, one hand on his shoulder. Erwin wore a warm smile. "Representative," he said, "May I assume that if we Eldians resolve this war, you will approve our UN proposal?"

Although Erwin's tone was kind, the terrifying killing intent in his eyes almost terrified the representative he was holding down. A demon! This was definitely a demon! Only a demon with blood on his hands could have such eyes!! At this moment, the representative was extremely frightened; all he wanted was to go home to his Mother.

Meanwhile, through the conference room window, one could see the boundless blue Ocean, but suddenly, the edge of the Ocean seemed to be swallowed up by a continuously spreading thick fog!
