Chapter 1794: Laws for the Calamity

After Minos returned to his group, the negotiating portion of this great meeting of top specialists would come to an end, and everyone would return to their positions from the beginning of the meeting.

After first discussing measures to minimize the damage to their forces and states and then having the opportunity to form partnerships and do business with each other, it was now time to determine the final points of this meeting.

For everything that had been discussed to work, rules and deterrence would be needed to deal with the highest-level issues.

As soon as they had the attention of the people in the big tent, the elves presented their proposals.

"We must create a common supervisory organization to enforce the world's laws in the time ahead. If we can't follow some rules during the ice age, chaos will reign, and even the strongest of us will be in danger." Levis said as he looked into the eyes of the strongest. "But for laws to work, we need deterrence. That is, people capable of enforcing the rules we make here."

"What exactly are the elders of the elf tribe planning?" Someone asked.

Another elf said. "We want to temporarily assemble a group of people, starting 20 years in advance and continuing until the end of the disaster, who will make the rules and enforce them.

We propose that every force with at least level 97 specialists send a representative to Elves Island in no more than 5 years. This group will collectively decide on most of the rules that we will use to reduce the chances of this disaster destroying us.

Once we have all the rules, each of these powers will have to send a number of specialists equal to their power and number to be part of the World Coalition.

That temporary institution will take care of the laws of the world and will do its best to enforce the rules we will agree upon".

No one thought that was a bad thing. As much as the elves' ideas implied that there would soon be one power above all others and that they would have to follow the rules agreed upon by the majority, everyone was aware of the need for such a thing.

That was especially true for the older beast tribes present, for they knew how important rules and some predictability were in the chaos.

Without rules, the world would fall apart!

"Where will this World Coalition be based?" Julian asked.

"Good question. I suggest it be based here, where we are. That is an area without rulers, but it's also very well located." A female elf said. "But we'll have posts on all the continents, islands, and even on the bottom of the sea. We need to be able to quickly enforce the rules we agreed upon during the ice age."

That was necessary, and the location of the headquarters was not bad. Even though this was the Divine Continent, a land with several rulers and high-level organizations, the area they were in had actually been treated as a free land since ancient times.

Since this was not the territory of any enemy of the forces present, no one questioned the location of the headquarters of such a group.

"Anyway, if everyone agrees, let's decide on our basic laws," Levis said, aware that they couldn't stay there to discuss every single rule, which was why they would let representatives do that for them over the next few years. But at the same time, as the strongest, they should decide on the basic rules for the time to come.

"As a suggestion, I propose that wars between high-level powers or between states be banned from the beginning of the ice age," Levis commented, looking at the area where the Sky Whales were. "Don't get me wrong. I don't want to ban fighting. It's just general wars.

If a power feels offended by a foreign act, it has the right to defend itself or to strike back. But I don't think it would benefit the world for two or more powers to be involved in a generalized war."

After Levis closed his mouth, the strongest people in the room weighed in on the issue, with many agreeing that generalized wars would be bad but that long-standing conflicts couldn't simply be resolved that way.

"I propose that wars started after this day be banned, regardless of their justification." A level 97 Dragon spoke up. "As for old wars, I propose letting the parties involved settle them by a certain date. From then on, even if the confrontation has not been resolved, the parties will have to stop their movements."

A Sky Whale agreed, wanting to continue the war with the Dragons. "I agree. And I go further, I suggest that before this date, wars should not last more than 40 years. That will ensure the world will be at peace when disaster reaches its climax."

Several supporters of the Dragons and Sky Whales spoke in their favor, and even Maximilian and Vico's emissaries agreed.

It was terrible for both sides to stop a war in the middle before the winner had been decided. In other words, both sides had to invest a lot, and a lot was lost during the war. Victory could bring many benefits, but until it was achieved, the warring powers would only have losses.

How could they agree to stop fighting before the winner was determined?

Therefore, everyone currently at war wanted to continue their wars!

So the majority present soon agreed that wars before that day would have 40 years from today to be resolved, while new conflicts after such a day would be forbidden.

However, one of the dragons there suggested that if the conflict couldn't be resolved in the remaining time, then a single battle of three matches would determine the winner of the conflict after that time.

Since this would not be a general battle, and since it was not certain that it would happen, almost everyone agreed to go along with the proposal.

With it agreed upon, they would soon decide on other fundamental laws, such as not allowing the extermination of entire species after the present date.

Minos was one of the few who saw a problem with this, but unfortunately, he didn't have enough to change the decision of people at the end of the 10th stage.

He accepted the decision of these world leaders, knowing that he would have to find a way to deal with the Gorgons without exterminating them.

Other rules would be decided later, but since they wouldn't involve too much negative news for anyone involved, they would be easily approved, bringing the meeting to its final moment!
