Chapter 503: World Summit Part 1
503 World Summit Part 1
The next day, Alex was wearing formal clothes, according to Neptune"s request. He would meet with the other rulers, so he thought it was necessary.
The clothes were just a white uniform, giving him another type of charm.
On the other hand, Anya was wearing a beautiful white dress, making them look like a pair. As for Sherry, she wore a new dress they bought from the shop in Phoenix Continent. It was a long pink dress, complimenting her white and pink fur.
Besides, she was thrilled by hearing Alex"s compliment. He felt if they were in the Northern Continent, someone would get charmed by her beauty and uniqueness, especially her ears and tail.
Luckily, it was normal around here, so Alex just let her do anything she wanted. In fact, if she could hide her tail and ears, he would give her the green box and accompany him to the Strength Plateau.
Anya wore a white veil, covering everything under her eyes. Even so, the charm on her eyes still managed to captivate others.
"Knock Knock!"
Hearing the knock, Alex knew it was the time to go. "Alright, let"s go."
"Yes."
Surprisingly, it was not a servant. Instead, the Neptune suddenly appeared before him, bringing three green boxes to him. "This is what the Supreme wanted to give you."
"!!!" Alex was certainly surprised to see three green boxes at the same time. According to Song Yu and Mithra, these boxes would invite bloodbath, especially when the number of boxes was limited.
"These boxes are the keys that the Supreme placed in our hands. I don"t know what they are for, but I feel a huge amount of energy inside these boxes. If I may ask, do you know anything about these boxes?"
"It is only useful in another world, so even if I tell you, there will be no use." Alex sighed.
"Well, I just wish to know since the matter about Supreme will end after we send you off."
"I don"t really know the purpose, but every time I challenged the trial and two crystals met, I would meet him in a certain illusion plane. He did not really tell me anything other than to bring these boxes to the Strength Plateau. As for the details about that place, even I don"t know."
The Neptune thanked him for the explanation. "Anyway, the other races are waiting for you. Please."
Alex nodded as he followed the Neptune with Sherry and Anya. There was another reason why he wanted Anya to accompany him in this World Summit.
According to the information, Princess Shelka would also partic.i.p.ate in this meeting. He still recalled when she cursed Anya even though it was a misunderstanding. That was why he wanted to let her show how inferior she was to Anya before he left.
…
In the giant meeting room, there were already five rulers sitting on their respective seats. The human ruler was a middle-aged man with his mouth covered by a black beard. With just a single look on his expression, they would know he had been holding something back. Most likely, it was a matter about Alex.
The Prince and Princess behind him also stared at Stina, remembering the time when she rejected their request in meeting him. As for Lilian, she could only look down, ashamed. It was because of the order of the guild master, she came together with them. Of course, it was also from the order of the royal family.
On the Dragon"s seat, Zephyr was talking with the Seraphim nonchalantly, ignoring this heavy atmosphere. They were talking happily about how Alex beat their trials. Qeigess and Lexi did not have anything to do other than standing with a blank look, waiting for the star to show up.
On the other hand, the Elven King had a fierce expression, looking at the Phoenix Seat. He wanted to say something about it but waited until Neptune and Alex arrived. Shelka was also the same. She was waiting for the "Supreme" on her mind to come. Albeit the moment he came...
After another ten minutes, the gate finally opened as the soldiers shouted. "Neptune, Eikha, and Sir Alexander Sirius enter the room!"
Upon entering the room, no one would care about the Neptune. Instead, their eyes were glued on the young human, Alexander Sirius. They immediately gauged Alex with their keen eyes since they were curious about what kind of transformation he would have after becoming a Tier 6.
The moment Alex stood in front of them, it was apparent to everyone present that the atmosphere inside the room had changed.
"So… this is Alexander Sirius!" The human king immediately thought. "He might not have a fierce aura, but this strange sensation as if I am being enveloped in something…"
The Seraphim and Dragon King were astonished by how the clothes could change one"s aura.
The Elven King gritted his teeth. He had seen many strong challengers in his life, but he clearly knew that Alex was different from other challengers. It was no doubt Alex was the current Supreme.
He did not know if the room lighting was playing tricks, but it almost looked as if Alex was wreathed in light. Unfortunately, this only made him angrier, thinking about why he did not take more initiative.
At first, because he did not really trust Alex was the supreme despite being told by his daughter, he only set a few simple promises. Unexpectedly, it was broken the moment they arrived at the Angel Race. This resentment was not only toward Alex but also the Angel Race.
It was the same as Shelka. Upon seeing Anya and Sherry, she was stupefied. She did not know Sherry, but according to her power, she was clearly stronger than her. As for Anya, although she was still a Martial King, she felt a threat from her. It was related to her existence instead of her life.
After all, there was one thing she knew there was an otherworld beauty behind that white veil. She remembered when she heard a woman"s voice inside Alex"s room. If Alex had such a beautiful woman as his companion, he would not need any b*tch.
She gritted her teeth as she understood Alex"s meaning by bringing her here. Besides, there would be no way she could attack Alex or Anya in this meeting, and after this meeting, they would not meet anymore.
If someone looked at her, they would see blood streaming down her lips. Unfortunately, all of them were entranced by his appearance. A few of them even focused on Sherry"s and Anya"s appearance, captivated by their beauty.
Seeing so many familiar faces amused him, but the moment his eyes fell upon Lilian, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
The Neptune smiled, stretching his hand politely toward Alex"s seat. "Please."
Alex nodded, looking at the round table and his seat.
The Neptune also sat down before saying, "I think we can start the World Summit"s meeting. We will discuss whether we will go to the other world or not."
*Bang!*
"Wait!" The Elven King slammed the table, turning his head toward the Phoenix Queen. "What do you mean by this?! Do you think we are not qualified to sit with you and let your daughter present you in this meeting?"
That was right. As she intended, Stina was standing behind Ellen while Ellen sat upon the Phoenix Queen"s seat.
"Well, this might be a good topic to open this meeting." Stina simply smiled as she looked at everyone in the room. "My daughter, Stina Blaze, has succeeded the throne for almost a year. Although it is still unofficial, I shall declare in this World Summit"s meeting and in front of the other rulers, Stina Blaze, shall officially become a Phoenix Queen!"
"!!!" The declaration immediately shook the entire room, except Alex"s group. They never thought the Phoenix Queen that had been ruling upon the Phoenix Race would retire at this particular time.
"What do you mean by this?" The Elven King obviously could not swallow the matter. "After breaking your limit and becoming an 8-Star Tier 6 Phoenix, you decide to pa.s.s the throne to her. Are you insane?"
Stina simply smiled. "It is because I have overcome my limit, I would like to see the next limit. My daughter is already a Tier 6 Phoenix anyway and the elders are supportive. Of course, if someone dares to treat my race, I shall reveal myself again. Is that explanation too hard for you to swallow, Elven King?"
Stina said this to protect the Phoenix Race. By just knowing she was still alive, the enemies would think twice before attacking them. This was the last gift she could give to her daughter.
Ellen only closed her eyes, smiling. She said inwardly. "Thank you, Mother."
On the other hand, the Elven King was tongue-tied as he could not rebuke it. He was just a bit resentful for his own decision, resulting in him questioning the decision.
"You may stop, Elven King. Seeing how much the Phoenix Queen loved her race, how long she had protected them, and even to do such a thing like informing her daughter"s ascension in front of us, we should not judge her decision." The Neptune said. "Although the timing is not really good, I, Neptune Eikha, wish you good fortune, Former Queen Stina Blaze and Current Queen Ellen Blaze."
"Thank you." Stina and Ellen nodded at the same time.
"Congratulations, Queen Ellen, for the throne." Zephyr followed right after.
"Congratulations…" The others also started congratulating her.
At the same time, the elders were also spreading this good news in the Phoenix Race, telling they would hold the ascension of Ellen Blaze as soon as she came back and the matter of their former queen to have a closed-door training.
Thinking how long and how wise Stina Blaze had ruled the race, the majority of them dropped to the floor while crying, especially the elderly. They knew how much the queen had sacrificed for them.
Upon hearing that, they knew she deserved to rest. There was certain friction for those who wanted the throne, but as soon as Ellen came back, they were whacked to death by the ancestor"s scepter, albeit it was the story for later.
As for the situation inside the meeting room, it was pretty chaotic for the Elven King and Human Sovereign. Seeing how the others reacted, they knew three other rulers were having a good relations.h.i.+p with the human, thus giving the Phoenix Queen that relations.h.i.+p too.
Surprisingly, under this tension, the Seraphim suddenly asked Alex. "Ehm, Alexander Sirius, may I know who are the two behind you?"
"!!!" The other rulers narrowed their eyes, curious about them too. Even though they were peerless beauty, they were not known by others, which was impossible.
Alex simply smiled. "They are the ones who have witnessed my entire journey, My wife and partner."
