Chapter 301 Cataclysm Response Committee

Time passed quietly as Li Ang cultivated and guided his team members. On the morning of the tenth day after his return from the Holy Mountain, at the headquarters of the enforcement team, in the office of Deacon Seronster, a visitor arrived who caused the usually composed deacon to completely lose his composure.

When there was a knock on the office door, Celeste said "Come in" as usual. When he saw the tall figure push the door open, the quill pen he was using to review documents fell to the table with a "clatter".

He stood up in a daze, even subconsciously rubbing his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating from processing documents for days.

"Dia-Diaena?" Celeste's voice was dry and trembling with disbelief.

Standing at the door was the Red Dragon Dina, her fiery red hair casually draped over her shoulders, her face carrying a hint of emotion at a long-awaited reunion, as well as a touch of teasing.

"What, Celeste, you don't recognize your old rival anymore after just a few days?" Diana's lips curled slightly, but her tone was more peaceful than ever before.

Celeste took several deep breaths to barely suppress the turmoil in his heart. He quickly walked around the desk to Diana's side: "You—they let you come back? How is that possible?" He knew all too well the stubbornness and arrogance of dragons, especially the red dragons. Diana had been forcibly taken away in the first place, so how could she be released now?

Diana walked into the office and sat down naturally in a chair. Upon hearing this, her expression became somewhat subtle: "Well, the clan—or rather, the Holy Mountain—has new considerations. My official role upon returning this time is as a liaison between the Dragon Clan, Lelita, and even the Wizard Alliance, responsible for maintaining communication and coordinating cooperation between the two sides in dealing with the End."

She paused, looked at Theronster who still had an incredulous expression, and added, "Of course, we have to thank Leon for all of this."

"Leon?" Ceronster keenly caught the key word, his brow furrowing. "What does this have to do with him? He only told me that he 'communicated' with the dragons, and then he brought Olivia back." He emphasized the word "communicated."

Upon hearing this, Diana was taken aback at first, then a wry smile appeared on her face as she shook her head: "This Li Ang—he's really too modest." The "exchange" he spoke of referred to his single-handedly storming the Blazing Inferno Sanctuary, directly defeating dozens of adult red dragons, including the Red Dragon Queen Alex, and displaying the power of a legendary domain amidst the encirclement of over three hundred dragons from the five-colored dragon legion. He ultimately drew out the slumbering Ancestral Dragon Galakrond and was personally appointed by the Ancestral Dragon as its proxy, entrusting him with the future destiny of the dragon race.

With each word she spoke, Celeste's face stiffened a little more. By the end, the butler had completely lost his expression, mechanically raising his hand and pinching his brow hard, as if trying to confirm whether he was having a bizarre dream.

Defeating dozens of adult red dragons? Legendary Realm? Ancestral Dragon's Agent?

Each of these words carried immense weight, and the combined information overload made Celonster feel as if his brain was about to overload and start smoking.

"—So," Diana concluded, her tone tinged with a complex sense of awe, "it wasn't the dragons who made me return, but rather, under the new rules, I returned to become a bridge connecting the two sides. Leon's current strength and status far surpass our levels, Celeste."

Cyronster remained silent for a long time before letting out a long, slow breath, slumping back into his chair, and muttering, "That kid—every time I think I've overestimated him enough, he always manages to do something even more outrageous."

Time continued to pass.

On this day, Li Ang received a summons from Theronster and went to a small conference room at the headquarters of the law enforcement team.

Pushing open the door, Li Ang found that Professor Dinah was also there, in addition to Celeste. During this time, he learned of Dinah's return from Olivia, but he had been busy with training and preparations and had not been able to see Dinah.

"Professor Diana, welcome back—" Li Ang was about to greet her politely when Diana beat him to it.

Diana stood up, her expression solemn, even carrying a hint of reverence that shouldn't be present in front of a junior. She nodded slightly: "Lord Li Ang, good day. Thank you for your help to Olivia on the Holy Mountain, which—indirectly allowed me to return."

This greeting made Li Ang feel a little embarrassed, after all, he was only thinking about returning to Olivia and completely forgot that Dina was also there. However, Dina's attitude also made him realize how much weight his identity as the "Ancestral Dragon's Agent" carried in the hearts of the dragons.

He sighed inwardly, but kept his expression calm, nodding in return: "You're too kind, Professor Diana. Olivia is my teammate; it's what I should do. And welcome back."

Celeste cleared his throat and gestured for Li Ang to sit down: "Li Ang, I called you here today because there are a few things I need to discuss with you."

Discuss? Li Ang felt a little strange. Although his strength had improved, he was still just a captain of the enforcement team on the surface. What could he possibly need to discuss with a lowly captain like himself? However, he didn't ask any further questions and waited for what would happen next.

"First thing," Seronster said solemnly, "the prototype of the first Divine Scepter crafted by the elven artisans has completed testing, and its effectiveness has largely met expectations. Combined with the information you brought back from the Holy Mountain regarding 'The End,' I have submitted the entire report to the Alliance's Supreme Council."

He paused, observing Li Ang's reaction: "The council's resolution has been passed. The Alliance will activate its highest-level contingency plan, establishing a Cataclysmic Response Committee," to coordinate all resources and prepare for a potential full-scale conflict. Simultaneously, the Alliance has approved a plan to mass-produce and equip mortal armies with the Divine Scepter, thereby rapidly enhancing the Alliance's overall armed forces."

Li Ang nodded; this was within his expectations.

Seronster continued, "Given your close ties with the Dwarven and Elven kingdoms, and your status as the 'Ancestral Dragon's Agent,' our Lyrita faction naturally and wholeheartedly recommends you to serve as the chairman of this Cataclysm Response Committee, responsible for coordinating and overseeing joint actions between the Alliance and various forces including the Elves, Dwarves, and Dragons."

Li Ang raised an eyebrow slightly, after all, this position had an astonishing amount of power and responsibility.

"After we explained your achievements and special status," Celeste said, his tone somewhat complicated, "your nomination received the support of nearly half of the committee members. But—there is still nearly half of the committee members who believe that the position of chairman should be held by a more senior and higher-ranking wizard, and that you are more suitable to serve as the special liaison officer responsible for liaison matters."
