Chapter 336 The Supreme Council of the Alliance
On the second day of their return journey, as the Floating Workshop floated steadily above the sea of clouds, Maya first encountered an opportunity for a breakthrough.
As she forged alone in the courtyard, her overflowing spiritual power, like a flood breaking through a dam, condensed into a sixth star in her spiritual world, signifying that she had finally successfully advanced to the level of a second-level wizard!
Immediately afterward, Ludick and Helena, who were meditating in their respective rooms on the second floor of the workshop, experienced a surge in their mental energy almost one after the other.
The two had already reached the peak of the first level, and with this experience and the baptism of Li Ang's spiritual power, the breakthrough was a natural outcome, and they both advanced to the second level of wizards.
Olivia's situation is rather special. As a red dragon, her mental strength grows much slower than her physical strength.
Previously, her mental strength had remained at the peak of a first-level wizard, but thanks to the dragon's naturally powerful physique and her innate spell, Dragonfire Breath, her overall strength had always been assessed as a third-level wizard. This time, her mental strength has finally broken through the shackles and reached the level of a second-level wizard.
The improvement in mental strength has led to more refined control and greater power over innate spells such as Dragon Flame, and his overall strength has firmly stepped into the threshold of level four.
In terms of wizarding ranks alone, she is now at the same level as her mother, Professor Dinah, at level four. Of course, in terms of combat experience and physical strength, the still young Olivia is far behind Dinah, who is the "number one below level five".
As for Li Ang himself, in the high-intensity cycle of consumption and recovery that continuously powered the entire Obsidian Tower shield, his mental strength was further honed and increased.
On his return journey, after a period of meditation, the number of stars in his mental world had quietly increased to thirty.
Two days later, the Floating Workshop landed again at the airport of Chalk City. After bidding a temporary farewell to Lord Rex Tower and his assistant, Li Ang and his party returned to the "Quiet Wind Chamber" of the Elemental Tower.
The leader of the Carlos faction was already waiting there. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he immediately informed Li Ang of the latest developments: "The Alliance's Supreme Council has a meeting tomorrow morning, the core topic of which is the election of the Chairman of the Cataclysm Response Committee. Thanks to your 'Dragon Power Potion' and 'Limb Regeneration Potion' taking the top two spots in the Innovation Competition, we at Lelita have secured sixteen additional council seats. Combined with our original five seats, we now hold a total of twenty-one council seats, the highest number in nearly a century! Li Ang, you will attend tomorrow's meeting as a newly elected councilor of Lelita."
As night fell and the lights of White Chalk City came on, a warm fire burned in the fireplace in the quiet living room. Leon, Eve, Maya, Olivia, Helena, Ludick, Dinah, Carlos, and Celia, who had come to visit Leon after learning of his return, sat together. Nelson and Rodney obediently prepared tea and snacks on the side.
Li Ang briefly recounted the events of the Obsidian Tower battle, as well as the underground Mother and Nest. Although most of the people present were eyewitnesses, only Li Ang had directly faced the Mother at the deepest part of the Nest, so everyone listened with exceptional focus.

After listening, Celia gently put down her teacup, her golden eyes thoughtful, and asked, "How did such a massive matrix, along with the enormous swarm of insects, manage to infiltrate the vicinity of Obsidian Tower so silently? Didn't Obsidian Tower's early warning system and the surrounding patrol forces detect it at all?"
Li Ang nodded: "The Obsidian Tower is also urgently investigating this issue."
Upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashed in Eve's aquamarine eyes, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the rim of her teacup. "Although we've resolved the immediate crisis, we don't know where the swarm—or rather, the vanguard of 'The End'—will reappear next, or how it will return."
Her words slightly dampened the relaxed atmosphere in the living room. Mei Ya waved her small fist, trying to dispel the gloom: "What are you afraid of? With Li Angqing here, we'll fight them every time they come!"
Carlos sighed and said slowly, "Maxwell, while I acknowledge your fighting spirit, the End cannot be fought by him alone. We must mobilize the entire alliance to fight against the End. Therefore, tomorrow's meeting is crucial. We need to select a decisive leader for the countermeasures committee who is capable of overseeing the overall situation."
The group chatted for a while about their experiences in the competition and other developments at the tower, until late at night before returning to their rooms to rest and recharge for the meeting the following day.
The following morning, in the central area of the White Chalk Tower, in the Supreme Council Hall of the Alliance.
This is a magnificent circular hall, with murals depicting the starry sky and the emblems of various towers painted on its towering dome. Soft, magical light illuminates the hall, making it bright and solemn.
Dozens of wizards were already seated on the circular seating area, mostly in black robes, with a few in purple. The lowest-ranking wizards here were blue-robed, representing the core power structure of the Wizarding Alliance's various towers.
Carlos led Leon and Diana to an empty seat. As soon as they sat down, Carlos turned slightly to the side and lowered his voice to gesture to Leon: "See that guy on the central stage? That's Victor Kruger, the faction leader of the Chalk Tower Elementalist School, and also the speaker of the Alliance Council, responsible for initiating and presiding over such high-level meetings. Rumor has it that his true strength is no less than Makarov's, but because of his busy schedule as speaker, he rarely appears in public competitions."
Following his gaze, Li Ang saw that Speaker Victor was a gaunt-faced, silver-haired old man wearing the iconic purple robe with gold trim of the White Tower.
He stood in the central open space enclosed by the circular seating. He was not tall, and even somewhat thin, but when his azure eyes calmly swept across the entire area, they exuded an air of quiet authority and unfathomable depth, as if he could see into people's hearts. Li Ang nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
As the last few councilors hurriedly took their seats, the several huge crystal screens embedded around the hall lit up one by one, revealing dozens of extraordinary figures. These were councilors from various towers who could not attend in person, participating in the meeting through remote magical projection.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Speaker Victor gently tapped a simple oak hammer in his hand. The crisp tapping sound seemed to resonate directly in everyone's hearts, instantly silencing all the hushed conversations.
"Gentlemen, everyone is here, and the remote connection is stable." Victor's voice was calm yet extremely penetrating. "I hereby declare that the special meeting of the Alliance Supreme Council is now in session."

He paused, his gaze slowly sweeping over each member of parliament present, as well as the figure on the crystal screen, before his voice suddenly grew louder:
