190: name

John looked at the Black-Robed Man beside him, but he didn't show any reaction.

Seeing this, he could only agree to Great Xia joining the alliance at the cost of a divine beast egg.

He said unwillingly, "As expected of the country with the longest history, I didn't expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve!"

Compared to his resentment, Xiao Sheng looked as if he had suffered a great humiliation, his face filled with an anger that was plain to see.

This made the other party feel that even if their ultimate goal hadn't been achieved, they were still triumphant.

The tense atmosphere vanished as both sides took a step back.

At this moment, the hot-bodied Yeka stepped forward and said, "Very well, since we are all allies now, shouldn't we give our alliance a name?"

Everyone was stunned. Perhaps before this, they hadn't thought that this alliance could actually take shape, so they hadn't thought about a name at all.

The blonde Knight King said, "Our alliance is to protect this world, like knights protecting a princess. Why don't we call it the World-Protecting Knights?"

The Sun King, who didn't get along with her, snorted and said, "Since you're already the Knight King, if we call it a 'Knights' order, wouldn't everyone have to follow your command?"

The Knight King glanced at the Sun King but didn't argue with him.

Of course, if it weren't for their current alliance, the sword in the stone in her hand would have already struck him.

William also stepped forward and said, "Everything we do is for justice. Why don't we call it the Justice League?"

The Sun King immediately voiced his support, and no one else raised any objections.

Only Xiao Sheng sneered, "Justice? Ridiculous."

William looked at him and said, "In that case... do you have any better suggestions?"

Just as Xiao Sheng was about to speak, he heard Su Ze's voice in his ear. His eyes lit up, and he followed Su Ze's words, saying, "Since we are uniting the power of multiple nations, why not call it the United Nations?"

William immediately laughed, "Heh, and here I thought you had a good suggestion. That naming style is incredibly tacky!"

Xiao Sheng continued, "Wait, I haven't finished yet."

"To fight against the entire Monster Beast World, having just our five nations is far from enough. We must unite the power of all nations and have them all join. This is the true meaning of the name United Nations!"

Yeka also became interested and asked, "Oh? Why would they join? Not every country can produce a divine artifact."

Xiao Sheng continued, "They don't need to hand over anything. On the contrary, we will share our surplus resources with them."

Hearing this, William sneered, "The strength of those small nations is incredibly fragile before the monster beasts. What's the use of them? And we have to give up our own resources? I don't think anyone will agree to this!"

Xiao Sheng sneered back, "That's why I say you're short-sighted!"

"The reason they are weak is simply because they lack resources. If they are given enough resources, a considerable number of experts can be born from such a large population base."

"To fight against the Monster Beast World, we need to gather all our strength. Relying on just five nations is not enough!"

The young Knight King nodded, seemingly in agreement.

Yeka then asked, "But if that's the case, more members will lead to different opinions. Who will make the decisions then?"

Xiao Sheng tilted his head slightly, appearing to be thinking, but he was actually listening to Su Ze's explanation.

"Decisions on various matters can be made through voting, with the minority following the majority. However, each of our five nations will hold veto power."

Yeka nodded. This would ensure that no decisions would harm the interests of the five nations, securing their status.

William, still unwilling to let Xiao Sheng take the spotlight, said, "Besides, those countries might not necessarily agree to join!"

At this point, there was no need to listen to Xiao Sheng further. He had given them a concept, and they already realized its feasibility.

They all looked at William, who still hadn't figured out the situation.

Finally, John, unable to bear seeing his own man act foolishly, reminded him, "Don't forget, there are only nine Level 100 beings in the entire world, and now we have formed an alliance."

William finally realized. Previously, they had restrained each other, and no one dared to use their power freely.

But now that they were cooperating, who would dare not join the alliance to seek protection?

He finally shut his mouth.

John also looked at Xiao Sheng and said, "I didn't expect that while your country seemed unwilling to join the alliance and delayed until the very last day, you had actually planned everything out clearly."

Thus, with everyone's approval, the name United Nations was confirmed.

Hearing the same name and seeing the five similar nations, Su Ze felt that this world seemed a bit closer to his home... After discussing some more specific matters.

For example, using the elite forces of the five nations—the Great Xia Spirit Guards, the Thunder Guard, the Northern Iron Guards, the Knights of the Round Table, and the Sun Expeditionary Force—to form a Peacekeeping Force, establishing bases worldwide to maintain peace and fight monster beasts.

With that, the crowd that had arrived with such fanfare finally left Great Xia and returned to their respective countries.

As the people around them left one by one, and finally the Sun King departed, only the three people from America remained.

Only then did John ask the mysterious Black-Robed Man beside him in a very respectful tone, "My Lord, why did you choose not to act just now?"

"Otherwise, even in a four-on-four, they wouldn't have been a match for us."

From beneath the black robe came a voice that sounded very neutral, making it impossible to tell if it was male or female: "If I had acted just now, we would have been the ones to die."

John and William were both shocked.

The Black-Robed Man continued, "That sword... it's very strong. It sensed my power and was locked onto me from beginning to end. That feeling was hair-raising. I have no doubt it could have slain me."

John asked in confusion, "But... wasn't it facing off against mjolnir?"

The Black-Robed Man glanced at the hammer in John's hand and said, "It is also very good, but it's far inferior. That sword only used a portion of its power."

"The reason it didn't slay me is that it has accumulated thousands of years of power; using it on me would be too much of a waste."

"Then... shouldn't we find a way to obtain that sword instead?"

The Black-Robed Man seemed to shake his head and said, "Forget about that sword. However, this egg... is quite excellent."

John's eyes lit up as he heard the Black-Robed Man say, "Based on my judgment, this is no ordinary divine beast egg, but rather a Moonlight Level divine beast egg!"

"Moonlight Level?!"

One must know that what the other countries brought were just a bunch of junk.

A useless divine artifact, a divine artifact's scabbard that's barely half an artifact, and one who just surrendered and handed himself over.

Far from being helpful, John was afraid they would hold them back.

In comparison, the value of the divine beast egg Great Xia produced was already very high, let alone a Moonlight Level divine beast egg!

"Haha, that fellow Xiao Sheng certainly didn't know the specific level of this egg. He only knew it was a divine beast egg, which is why he handed it over so easily!" William finally breathed a sigh of relief.

John also nodded and said with a smile, "After all, it's normal not to recognize it if they've never seen a divine beast. They've really suffered a huge loss this time!"

On the other side, after confirming everyone had left.

Xiao Sheng turned and left with a face full of humiliation, resentment, and indignation. This left the legion commanders from headquarters looking at each other, not knowing how to console him.

Only Holy Sun and Su Ze followed Xiao Sheng into a room. Then, Xiao Sheng slammed the door shut, the loud bang startling everyone.

"Alas, this time is a great humiliation for Lord Xiao Sheng. He gave up the divine beast egg he prepared to contract for the sake of Great Xia. He has sacrificed too much!"

"Sigh... I hope he can recover from this blow."

...Inside the room, Xiao Sheng, who had just been full of resentment and indignation, was now suppressing a smile, desperately trying not to laugh out loud.
