It can also destroy hell and annihilate all demons.
But finding the demon's spatial coordinates takes time. And what if, during this time, the demon continues to wreak havoc from within humanity, destroying human society?
Therefore, at this moment, humanity must unite!
I said both good and bad things.
Moreover, although Li Xiang never threatened them with force, the existence of the giants and their level of technology still made many people feel that what Li Xiang said was correct.
We must unite.
He's a demon, we must kill him!
Therefore, Li Xiang still has a lot of say.
Moreover, everyone seemed to assume that no one asked about the Titans.
Because that thing was so incredibly powerful, it could cover an entire planet with a mere wave of its hand. So, if Li Xiang, or rather the giant, was also a demon, an invader...
Actually, no one needs to resist, because it's completely unnecessary.
Therefore, everyone agreed on the initial consensus of a global alliance.
The next step is to deal with internal conflicts within humanity and to develop a battle plan against the demons.
Li Xiang continued to speak.
"In order to deal with the invasion of demons and the problems of humanity itself, I propose to establish the 'Earth United Defense Council', which will be mainly responsible for dealing with unnatural crises such as demons, as well as international conflicts."
"The Earth Joint Defense Council will operate under a system similar to that of the United Nations. However, due to the unique existence of demons, the Earth Joint Defense Council will possess partial armed power. The armed forces will be drawn from volunteer troops from various countries, adopting a voluntary participation model similar to peacekeeping forces. This will serve as a defensive counterbalance against demons. However, regarding issues of international relations, the Earth Joint Defense Council will only be dispatched to mediate if peaceful intervention by the United Nations has failed. And this army will be called the 'Earth Joint Defense Brigade'."
"As for demons, if a demon possesses a human and the human will cannot suppress the demon's will, the human will die and be completely replaced by the demon. Faced with such a demon, whether to directly eliminate it or to consider the demon's attitude towards humans before putting it to legal trial, we need to discuss and vote on this. After all, the demon essentially committed murder, but whether it was responsible for the crime is still up for debate..."
The meaning is simple: some demons may have killed a person, who was then possessed by that person, and then did not continue to do evil, but instead integrated into human society and lived a peaceful life.
Therefore, whether to directly eliminate such a demon or to prosecute it through the law is what needs to be considered now.
It is indeed troublesome. You could simply choose to eliminate them all, which would be much simpler.
But since Li Xiang brought it up, it definitely needs to be discussed.
"Furthermore, Brigadier General Theodore just demonstrated his special ability—he is a Devilman." Continuing the conversation, Li Xiang began to discuss the existence of Devilmen. "When a demon possesses a human, if the human's will overcomes the demon's will, then the human will gain control of the demon's power and become a special being like a Devilman."
"Therefore, the 'devil people' are not demons, but victims of demonic attacks. The current online condemnation of demons due to past events is understandable. However, many innocent people are being falsely accused of being demons due to rumors, falling into a self-justification trap. This online chaos is exactly what the demons want. Therefore, countries need to control and guide the internet promptly to prevent bullying and the spread of rumors. Especially regarding the 'devil people,' they are also victims and should not be blamed online. Governments must protect these victims."
"Furthermore, the Earth United Defense Council prohibits the use of Devilmen as a military force or as weapons, and must ensure that the civil rights and voting rights of all Devilmen are not affected, and must take the issue of discrimination against Devilmen seriously."
"Devilman possesses demonic power, but this power is still unstable. Due to emotional issues or other problems, Devilman may transform back into a demon. Therefore, it is necessary to study demonic power and do our best to help Devilman victims obtain their new identities and return to normal life. We have professional doctors researching this matter."
Li Xiang turned his gaze to Fei Niao and his father.
"I'm entrusting the matter of how to cure the Devilman to you two!"
For a time, Li Xiang seemed to have become the sole leader, and began to issue action plans to the other representatives... or rather, the countries behind them.
However, none of the representatives objected, since whoever takes the lead has to bear the responsibility, and this visitor from another world is truly capable of shouldering this responsibility.
Thus, at the meeting, the United Earth Defense Directorate (UEDD) was officially established, with Li Xiang serving as a special advisor to the directorate and a staff officer of the United Earth Defense Corps (UEDC).
Li Xiang pondered whether he would be a regular member of the Victory Team... No, it should be because Li Xiang's assessment was too fast, so the team members hadn't officially assembled yet, and therefore Li Xiang didn't have any position yet.
But now, on Earth in a parallel universe, has he already become a special advisor and strategist?
What an amazing experience!
Most of the UEDC's armed personnel are required to meet the military standards of peacekeeping forces.
This was a special request from Li Xiang and Brigadier General Theodore, because only peacekeeping soldiers have enough experience to carry out missions on such international issues.
Theodore also became one of the heads of UEDC.
After all, he was a Devilman, had experience fighting demons, and was also secretly in charge of researching demons.
Many countries around the world have conducted some research on demons, but it's hard to say how much they've actually learned.
As for UEDC, it reminded Li Xiang of not long ago... it seems like only a short time ago, less than a month ago, when he parted ways with Captain Sakami and the others.
Wasn't the Ivory Coast Guard at that time composed of a group of internationalist peacekeeping fighters?
Although not much time has passed, I really miss it...
There are also technical issues. The demons are powerful. Ordinary firepower might be able to deal with some weaker demons, but if they encounter the kind of powerful demons that Li Xiang encountered back then, and these demons have all sorts of abilities, ordinary armies will be unable to resist them.
Therefore, Li Xiang gifted the power armor to humanity, hoping to use the technology of the power armor to create the power to fight against the demons.
Since powered armor is also a high-tech product, it cannot be replicated and mastered in a short time. Therefore, referring to some of its technical principles to create individual exoskeleton armor has become a feasible plan at present.
Unlike powered armor, which is tall and imposing, exoskeleton armor conforms more closely to the human body and is used as both armor for defense and as a powered exoskeleton.
In terms of weaponry, they use firearms, and with the help of exoskeleton armor, they can use larger caliber weapons.
As for explosive guns, they don't require much technology; their main advantage is their powerful impact, which can send bricks flying, so there's no need to study them.
The single-molecule serrations of a chainsaw sword cannot be fully understood in a short period of time.
"So let's use vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns as weapons."
This is what a certain major Eastern power said.
Subsequently, Li Xiang supported the proposal.
Chapter 170 Saving the world is no simple task.
After UEDD was established, Li Xiang also entered into a busy work schedule.
International conflicts require Li Xiang, as a special advisor to the UEDD, to make votes, as well as issues such as the formation and arrangements of the UEDC.
Of course, during this time, various countries and organizations tried to find Li Xiang to confirm the situation of the giants, but Li Xiang dismissed them with vague information.
"Giant, he is light."
"Light means that everyone can become a giant."
"The appearance of giants signifies that we must unite as one!"
Obviously, not many people believe it.
Almost half a month has passed.
In the past two weeks, there have been no demon attacks.
But it's impossible for demons to attack humans.
"General Theodore, a demon attack has occurred in Japan. I'll leave the UEDD matter to you for now. I will personally lead a team to Japan to handle this incident."
Li Xiang handed over the work to Theodore and then prepared to leave for Japan.
By the way, Theodore has been promoted to general because he is one of the heads of UEDD.
Of course, this rank is different from that of the military outside the country. It is equivalent to the rank of Li Xiang's special advisor and belongs to the highest authority of UEDD.
After the handover of his duties, Li Xiang began leading a team to Japan.
"Township Captain, this is UEDC's first mission. Thank you all for your hard work!" Through the communicator, Li Xiang contacted the captain of the UEDC Asia branch, who was at the Asia branch.

Originally, this mission was supposed to be led by Captain Zhenlou, but since this was the first attack after Tiga cleared out all the demons on Earth, Li Xiang still wanted to go to Japan in person.
"Hello, Consultant Li, we are ready to head to the scene of the incident. You are currently in the Americas. Do you need us to protect the crime scene, or should we conduct our own investigation first?"
“It’s alright. I’ll arrive in Japan in about half an hour. You can start the survey first. It won’t take me long.”
"...Ah, alright, we'll get started."
When the town leader heard that it would only take about half an hour to travel from America to Japan, he almost fainted.
But then I remembered that everyone else was using high-tech gadgets, and it all made sense.
I hung up the phone and prepared to head to Japan.
As they headed to the hangar, Asuka followed them.
"Advisor Li, may I go with you?"
"Asuka, aren't you going to stay and study the demon?"
Asuka and his father were in charge of leading a research team to study how to deal with demons and cure demon humans, so Li Xiang did not expect that Asuka would want to go to Japan with him.
“We do research, and we definitely need to put it into practice. This incident is a very good example, and…” Asuka began to hesitate, as if she had some personal matters to attend to.
"Moreover, this incident happened near the home of a friend of mine from my childhood... so I'm very worried about him, please let me go with him!"
"Ah, that's it."
Li Xiang also remembered that Asuka was Japanese.
"Then let's go together. I understand your concern for your safety!"
"Yes, thank you so much!"
So, Asuka and Ryou boarded the Flying Swallow and flew towards Japan.
Then the bird realized that this was the worst decision he had ever made.
Because he was in a hurry, Li Xiang piloted the Flying Swallow directly to a higher airspace above Earth's flight path.
At such an altitude, the Flying Swallow's high-speed flight will not affect the Earth's surface.
So, Li Xiang sped up to the maximum speed, directly reaching Mach 10!
Mach 10 is only due to atmospheric drag and other factors; otherwise, given the performance of the Hyuga, it could have reached Japan in just over ten minutes.
But birds that fly away will suffer.
Although the Flying Swallow's buffer system is very well designed, even at Mach 10, it will not generate much G-force for the pilot, and Flying Swallow can withstand it completely.
However, the speed is too fast, and it's still difficult for birds to adapt to watching the world rush by.
"Advisor! That's too fast!"
"This is nothing, you bird! You can go even faster!"
"This won't do, Consultant Li Xiang!"
"If you can't stand it, just close your eyes. You're just a little dizzy because you can't handle the fast-moving images."
