Chapter 46 - Government's dilemma

Governments were also quick to take note of the potential of this new material and began planning on how to incorporate it into their regulations and management policies for players. The ability to suppress players' powers was a game-changer, and it could potentially be used to keep powerful players under control.

The governments of the world were facing a dilemma when it came to implementing the suppressors made from the new material formed in barriers during dungeon breaks. They knew that it was almost impossible to get players to willingly wear them, and attempting to force players to do so could lead to devastating consequences. Not only would it result in a fight between military players and other players, but the destruction of entire countries was also a real possibility.

The international community was scratching their heads trying to figure out how to best use the suppressors. It was clear that forcing players to wear them was not a viable option, but at the same time, the need for some form of control or regulation was crucial. The issue was how to go about it.

Many governments were hesitant to bring up the subject in front of players because they didn't want to create hostility. On the other hand, some powerful players were even more apprehensive of governments imposing any form of control over them, especially considering their current power levels. There was a delicate balance to be struck, and everyone involved was treading carefully.

There was even history of a few fights between such powerful players. 1 happened in between cities fortunately cities themselves were protected by barrier which not even shook a little even after receiving a direct hit but outside barrier area of nearly 2 million kilometers was devastated killing everything in this area.

Another fight happened in a city causing everyone in the city to die but surrounding area was preserved as barrier blocked the attack. Government was still not able to arrest those players to prevent futher damage.

These incidences had only served to increase the tensions between players and the government. Civilians were clamoring for players to wear suppressors, seeing them as a necessary measure to control the growing power and destructive potential of some players. However, the players had become like local rulers in their own right, with governments having little to no say in their affairs. The players were too strong for the governments to forcefully impose their will on them, and this only served to further complicate the situation.

Scientists had made another important discovery regarding barriers and the aftermath of dungeon breaks. They had found that even after the dungeon disappeared, the barrier that shielded it continued to remain intact. However, if the dungeon disappeared due to a break, the experience points from the monsters trapped inside it remained ensnared within the space. This made that area within a 5-meter radius of the dungeon a blessed land, where plants and animals mutated easily, and the likelihood of civilians awakening increased. This finding held significance, as it opened up opportunities for further study and exploration.

Governments were also keeping close watch on such blessed lands, as they were eager to utilize the space for their own purposes. Whether it meant studying the effects of experience on plant and animal mutating, cultivating rare plants that could benefit the economy or the government itself or even using such spaces for more shady purposes.

With the majority of blessed lands now under the control of governments, they had quickly taken advantage of the opportunity to awaken themselves and create more military players. Governments were keenly aware of the power and potential of players, and they saw the benefits of having more of them on their side. By using the blessed lands, they were able to awaken civilians with potential, creating a stronger and more capable military force to defend their territories and interests.

This development had further increased the power dynamics between players and governments, as players now had even more leverage over the governments. Governments were relying on players more than ever before, and this dependence only served to make them even more uneasy about the growing power of players.

With the increasing tension and power dynamic between players and governments, the governments of all countries on Earth decided to hold a meeting to discuss the issue. The purpose of the meeting was to address the growing power of players and the potential threat they posed to normal civilians and weaker players. It was an opportunity for governments to come together and discuss ways to control and monitor the players, as well as to address any potential issues that may arise due to the increasing power gap between them.

The meeting was attended by representatives from all the countries on Earth, and it was held in a well-guarded location. The atmosphere was tense, as everyone was aware of the gravity of the situation. The discussion was heated, with each country expressing its own concerns and opinions, but one thing was clear: something needed to be done .

Despite the scientists' hard work and dedication, they were unable to find a solution. The suppressors they had created were useless if players refused to wear them. This left governments feeling helpless and frustrated, as they realised that they were up against a seemingly impossible task.

In the meeting, someone said "The only thing protecting civilians now are the barriers. Sometimes i think if not for the barriers only ones left by now would be players"

During the meeting, one person pointed out that the only thing protecting civilians now was the barriers. It was a sobering thought, and the speaker could not help but wonder what would have happened if not for the barriers. The implication was clear- without the barriers, only the players would have remained, as everyone else would have likely perished in the chaos and destruction.

This statement brought a sense of urgency to the meeting, as everyone realised the importance of the barriers in protecting civilians. It was a reminder of the delicate balance that existed between players and everyone else, and how easily it could be disrupted.

One person in the meeting suggested calling Keshav and Jasmine, as they were the makers of the barriers. This suggestion was met with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. Some in the room were curious about the creators of the barriers, while others questioned whether such a move would be fruitful. Ultimately, however, the decision was made to send an invitation to Keshav and Jasmine, in the hopes of gaining their insight and perspective on the situation at hand.

The decision to invite Keshav and Jasmine to the meeting was a bold one, but it was also a necessary one. The governments of the world were stuck, and they needed outside help. Keshav and Jasmine, as the makers of the barriers, had unique insight into the situation, and their input could prove valuable.

With the decision made, the group waited patiently for a response from Keshav and Jasmine. The meeting adjourned for the day, and the representatives from each country returned home, each hoping that the invitation would be accepted.

Keshav and jasmine accepted the invitation and said they would attend the meeting

The news that Keshav and Jasmine had accepted the invitation to attend the meeting was met with a mix of excitement and anticipation. The representatives from each country were eager to meet the creators of the barriers and hear their thoughts and opinions on the situation at hand.

When the day of the meeting arrived, Keshav and Jasmine arrived at the well-guarded location where the meeting was being held. They were ushered in and lead into a large conference room where representatives from all the countries on Earth were waiting for them.

The atmosphere in the room was tense, as all the representatives waited for Keshav and Jasmine to speak. Everyone was eager to hear what the creators of the barriers had to say about the situation at hand. Keshav and Jasmine could feel the weight of the gaze on them, and they took a moment to collect their thoughts before beginning to speak.

As Keshav and Jasmine took their seats, the room fell silent, all eyes were on them. It was clear that everyone was waiting for them to speak, and the anticipation was palpable. Keshav and Jasmine looked around the room, taking in the sea of faces before them. They could sense the tension and the weight of the situation.
