Chapter 1927: The Lesser of Two Evils

They can completely use such an excuse to get away with it. After all, the other party is also a top large force like themselves, which is enough to prove that the other party's resource reserves are at the same level as theirs.

Even if they don't have as much as them, it won't be too different, otherwise they can't be classified as a top large force.

But if they lose to a small or medium-sized force that they have never heard of after participating in the competition, how can their world government gain a foothold in the Sky Island World in the future?

A top large force can't even beat a small or medium-sized force. Wouldn't it become a laughing stock in the entire Sky Island World?

This is also what they are most afraid of after participating in the competition.

They know that their chances of winning are almost 0, but they don't want to lose to a small or medium-sized force. This is something they absolutely cannot accept.

Because of such a result, it is better not to participate in the competition directly, so that the damage will be less after all.

But it is only a little smaller, and it will also have a great impact on the reputation of the world government.

After all, they are the top large forces. If they don't even dare to participate in such a competition, how will others see them?

The first reaction of a normal person would be to think that they were afraid of other forces, so they chose to refuse to participate in order to save face and keep their undefeated record.

If it was just an ordinary competition, perhaps if they did this, no one would talk about them, saying how afraid they were of losing.

Because such competitions do not have much effect on the forces themselves, whether good or bad, they are dispensable.

So as a top large force, if they do not want to participate in the competition, they can announce it to the public in a high-profile manner that they do not want to participate in such competitions because they think such competitions are too low-level.

They are at the top after all. If they compete with these inferior people, even if they win, there will be no glory. Instead, they will be ridiculed by others for bullying the weak.

So if they use such an excuse, maybe they can get through smoothly.

But unfortunately, things are not as simple as they seem. The martial arts competition they are going to participate in this time is not an ordinary gathering.

After all, this is about the quota for promotion to the top forces, and it is an opportunity for those forces that were previously rated as the top large-scale forces to truly become the pyramid of the Sky Island World and become the top ten forces.

How could such an opportunity be refused? Even if the World Government is already the first in the open, it will not miss such an opportunity.

After all, this is the best publicity opportunity for the forces they are in.

Once they become the top forces, in addition to being able to obtain enough resources, they can also absorb more new people to join, which can allow them to further stabilize their own strength while also going to the next level.

So under the circumstances of so many honors and so many benefits, if they still refuse to participate in the competition, then there is only one possibility, that is, they are afraid of losing, that is, they admit defeat.

Although this is not as embarrassing as being defeated by small and medium-sized forces after directly participating in the competition, such a refusal to participate in the competition will also become a laughing stock of others.

Once that time comes, the development speed of the World Government will definitely be greatly affected.

For example, many individual players who wanted to join them before, or small and medium-sized forces.

After they get such a result, they will definitely think that they have made a mistake.

Even if they don't think the World Government is inferior to others, or that they are afraid of losing, they will think that such forces have no ambition and just want to be salted fish and live a life of getting by.

They can obviously become top forces and make their living conditions better.

But they directly chose an aging lifestyle and chose to refuse.

Who would be willing to join such a force without ambition?

You have to know that everyone chooses to join because of the name of the government, thinking that by holding on to this big tree, they can get a lot of resources while being blessed.

But now their cowardly behavior has made them lose interest in joining.

Not only will they not join, it is likely that their friends will be dissuaded by them, so that even if they choose a force to join at random, it will be much better than a garbage force like the World Government.

Once such news comes out, not only will no one join, but even the small forces that have already joined may choose to leave on their own initiative.

They can't recruit people in the first place, and they can't absorb fresh blood, and they will also lose internal talents.

If they continue to grow and decline like this, how can they stabilize the development of their power? In the end, they can only stagnate and regress.

This is also what they are most worried about. They don't want the world government to be destroyed in their hands.

After all, it was because the mysterious adult trusted him that he handed the world government over to the five of them to manage.

Now, it's not long since they took over, and they encountered such a thing. The five of them can't even find a solution.

If the world government is really in a state of decline because of them, how can they face seeing the adult.

Fortunately, just when the five of them were confused about this matter, the adult appeared again and gave them guidance.

It was that battle that made them realize how powerful that adult was.

Although they didn't witness it directly, just what the other party did was enough to prove that the other party was so powerful that they couldn't imagine it.

At least in their opinion, even if Wang Garp is now the number one in the Sky Island World, his combat power can directly defeat several strong men who have mastered the late stage.

Even with such strength, in the eyes of the Five Elders, in front of that mysterious adult, it is still not worth mentioning and vulnerable.

Originally, according to the discussion of the five of them, they would directly give up the participation of the top forces this time.

Whether it is said that they are timid or that they feel that they are too arrogant and look down on such a battle, they will not answer it in person.

At least compared to being defeated by some unknown small and medium-sized forces after participating in the competition, this choice is better after all.

Of course, they did not do nothing. After learning about the martial arts competition, they began to train a group of martial artists who can really show off.

They were originally planning to recruit people directly from outside because this was the simplest and quickest method.
