...
"You're too kind, it was just good luck." Listening to the continuous praises, Lor remained calm, responding one by one.
In fact, compared to the Great Meteor Technique, he was more proud of the Void Realm Control Skill.
After all, this was the Fusion Witchcraft he had truly figured out on his own, and in terms of potential, it exceeded the Great Meteor Technique by a margin.
Unfortunately, he had never had much of a chance to showcase this witchcraft; he couldn't afford to confront his usually too-powerful enemies directly if he could avoid it.
Otherwise, one wrong step could mean potential disaster.
Once Lor's interaction with the others concluded, Francis spoke again, "Now, let's proceed to vote on whether to grant Legislator Domenico the position of Speaker."
"Legislator Domenico's achievements are second only to Speaker Lor. He is extremely capable and has made a great contribution by contributing the Soul Contract results, greatly maintaining the Alliance's order."
Eddy, who made the proposal, was the first to speak, "On that basis, I, on behalf of myself and Speaker Ada, agree to grant him the position of Speaker."
This time, he didn't seek Peyton's opinion.
Because Peyton's previous action of not responding made it clear he did not agree to Domenico prematurely becoming a Speaker.
With Lor having the New Fire and able to vote directly, it also wasn't necessary to ask him.
"Legislator Domenico's achievements are indeed numerous, but compared to Speaker Lor, they're still lacking. I disagree with granting him the Speaker position early." This time, Wind Element Speaker Aisling was the first to stand out and object.
"Hmm?!" Upon hearing this, Lor was immediately taken aback.
Something was off; he remembered that Speaker Aisling and Domenico were supposed to be married in the future.
He never expected that the first to object now would actually be her.
Could it be they're not together yet?
Or perhaps they're having a disagreement?
Shaking his head slightly, Lor didn't think further, but decisively said, "I agree with granting Legislator Domenico the position of Speaker. His extraordinary creativity in the Soul Contract has greatly inspired me."
Domenico was set to become a future Seventh Ring, and Lor certainly wouldn't miss the chance to invest in fostering goodwill with him in advance.
With these words from Lor, Eddy slightly tilted his huge head, looking at him with some surprise.
Actually, Eddy was somewhat skeptical Lor would cast a supportive vote for Domenico.
After all, Lor was an unmistakable genius, and geniuses always have their sights set high.
Normally, it would be understandable if he looked down on Domenico, whose merits were below his, so this was unexpected for Eddy.
Faced with Eddy's glance, Lor returned a smile.
"I thank you on behalf of Legislator Domenico for your support." Eddy solemnly nodded at Lor.
As the first to make an exception and become a Speaker with only a Fourth Ring, and with unanimous agreement from all the Speakers, Lor carried significant weight.
Therefore, Lor's vote was crucial, capable of influencing many hesitant Speakers.
"I was just speaking the truth," Lor laughed.
While the two were speaking, the voting process in the New Fire continued uninterrupted.
"I agree."
"I disagree."
"I agree..."
...
In no time, the voting on whether to grant Domenico the position of Speaker concluded.
"Ten votes in favor, six opposed, nine abstained. I hereby announce that Speaker Domenico is officially the twenty-fourth Speaker of the Wizard Alliance," Francis summarized, then added, "Speaker Lor, I look forward to meeting you in the Blood Sea Abyss."
"I also look forward to meeting you," Lor replied.
This Speaker Francis was regarded as a guide during the early era of the Wizard Alliance's planar era.
The path to break through the Sixth Ring was first discovered by him.
Unfortunately, when facing that large civilization, he became a target for establishing power and was instantly killed by a Seventh Tier being from that civilization, causing him to fail to achieve the Seventh Ring.
What followed was the Wizard Alliance's dark millennium of subjugation.
This meeting, regarding the ascension of two Speakers, concluded with the conversation between Lor and Francis, as each New Fire gradually dimmed.
"Three Speakers, what are your plans next?" Lor put away the New Fire and asked the three Speakers who no longer needed to contain the Tier Five Demons here.
"We can't keep up with your pace, nor can we assist you, so we'll head to the Blood Sea Abyss to help Francis locate those Tier Five Demons hiding in the Sea of Blood," Eddy grinned, "By the time you've finished off the other Abyss's Tier Five Demons and come to the Blood Sea Abyss, perhaps we'll have already dragged all the Tier Five Demons out of the Sea of Blood."
"Then I wish the three of you a smooth journey," Lor nodded, pointing to the Tier Four Demons bound by webs, "I'll handle these Tier Four Demons, and once my Elemental Energy has recovered, I'll finish them off."
"Alright."
"Sure."
"Then we'll set off first."
...
Lor watched the three fly off in the direction where the Tier Four Bloodline Mages had previously left, and he quietly closed his eyes to restore his Elemental Energy.
Before long, his Elemental Energy was fully restored, and he sent a 4.5 Ring Meteor towards each of the remaining seventeen Tier Four Demons.
Empowered by the might of the God of War list, the power of each Meteor reached the level of a 4.7 Ring.
"Rumble——"
Seventeen Meteors exploded simultaneously in a dark subspace, resembling resplendent fireworks.
As the fireworks faded, only twenty-three gigantic Demon corpses remained lying in the subspace.
"Phew——"
Lor flew to the side of the twenty-three Demon corpses, collecting all precious materials including Abyss Crystals, leaving the less valuable items to drift freely in this subspace.
He had no choice, as his Space Ring was only so large, and if he forcibly packed it, it wouldn't even fit an entire Tier Five Demon corpse.
"Leaving it is not bad; consider it a reward for later explorers who discover them," Lor smiled, thinking silently to himself.
If he truly didn't want to leave these corpses, he could simply mark the location and notify the Wizard Alliance, and naturally, other Wizards would help retrieve them and exchange the equivalent value of resources for him.
But it's better to leave some treasures in the vast Wizard World than for it to be empty and dull. After all, he didn't lack these things.
Having dealt with the twenty-three Demon corpses, Lor didn't linger and swiftly leapt towards the fifty-fourth layer of the Abyss.
In the fifty-fourth layer of the Abyss, two Tier Five Demons were being held by Speaker Aisling and Speaker Ugo, waiting for him to finish them off.
Fifty-fourth layer...
Sixty-second layer...
Sixty-seventh layer...
Time flowed like water, and a month and a half had passed in the blink of an eye.
In this month and a half, Lor cleared out all Tier Four and Tier Five Demons from the fifty-fourth to the seventy-first layer.
Including the six Tier Five Demons from the fifty-first layer, he had exterminated sixteen Tier Five Demons in total.
Altogether, there were now a total of twenty-one Tier Five Demons still alive, all in the seventy-second layer of the Abyss, the Blood Sea Abyss.
"The seventy-second layer of the Abyss must be bustling right now," Lor thought, standing outside the space barrier of the seventy-first layer of the Abyss, "I wonder how many Tier Five Demons they've captured."
After exterminating those suppressed Demons earlier, the freed Speakers had all entered the seventy-second layer, the Blood Sea Abyss, to hunt the Demons lurking deep within the Sea of Blood.
The last meeting was ten days ago when Francis had already stated ten Tier Five Demons were suppressed, and eleven Demons still eluded capture.
Although extra Speakers went searching for Demons, Lor speculated they'd only managed to capture one or two Tier Five Demons at best in such a short time.
The Blood Sea Abyss differed completely from the other Abysses; the sea of blood covering the entire layer could block Spiritual Perception, so they had to rely on naked eye searches.
The Fifth Ring Elemental Mages could only act as protectors on this layer, leaving the search for Tier Five Demons to Bloodline Wizards with extraordinary eyesight.
Lor shook his head slightly, ceasing further thoughts, and immersed his Spiritual Power into the Origin Container, activating the Space Jumping Witchcraft, leaping towards the seventy-second layer of the Blood Sea Abyss.
"Rustle——"
Upon entering the Blood Sea Abyss, a pungent smell of blood immediately assailed him.
He took a glance around, finding everything around him shrouded in a dull red mist.
His perception unfurled, easily penetrating the dull red mist, but unable to seep into the sea of blood below.
"Speaker Francis and the others are in the subspace, I'll go find them and deal with the Tier Five Demons they've captured," Lor took a step forward, entering the subspace, casting the Space Jumping Witchcraft, and started searching for the whereabouts of Francis and the others.
