66: The New Batch of Sovereignty Council- The Verdant Legacy

"The names are...!" A board and magical capes were summoned, with titles printed on their backs.

"25th Rick Dreamwalker, Honored Disciple!" The shy incubus, who seemed so weak that even an ant could defeat him, held the 25th rank. "24th rank, Azue Dremurr, Galactic Emissary!" The Minotaur, who had been teasing a wolfman named Gallus, held the 24th rank. "23rd rank, Efindale Pevensie, Enlightened Paragon!" The male elf, who had been taunting Aelius, was 23rd.

"22nd is Aelius Maynard, The Stellar Inquisitor!" The vampire, who had been cornered just after the fight started, earned his rank through his incredible vision and observation.

"21st is Charles Allainette, The Sovereign Vanguard!" Charles was selected as he fought head-on with Opal, supporting Shuri. "20th rank is Samuel Tristella, Revered Seer!" Samuel received his title as he was the first to fight Raora after the students passed out. He was the first one to bring the fallen students to a safe place.

"19th is Gallus Tenebris, The Radiant Paladin!" The wolfman, who fought Void and survived, continued to fight other opponents afterward. "18th is Lora Sirena, The new Illustrious Herald!" Lora, the mermaid friend of Celine, who helped Vivienne calm down, ranked 18th. The top 18 were given titles that past members had held; others had titles given by their country.

"17th is Merry Olsan, The new Astral Advocate!" Merry, the merrow who assisted Samuel while he was placing the cornered fighters, ranked 17th after Raora defeated him.

"16th is Ivy Boreas, The Sacred Templar!" The sea slime who saw Void when he was falling, she doesn't care about ranks; she's just staring at Samuel. "15th Aziel Earlborrow, The new Noble Virtuoso!" Aziel was taken aside by doctors.

"14th is Vivienne Middletown, The new Eternal Adjudicator!" Vivienne sighed, looking at Void as he entered the place. Behind him was the holstaur sister of Azue Dremurr, the Minotaur.

"13th is Toriel Dremurr, The new Exalted Sentinel!" The holstaur, sister of Azue Dremurr. But the question is, what did she do to get the 13th rank?

"12th is Katia Viper, The new Aureate Strategist!" The echidna who first came to challenge Void fought every single person who approached her and later fought the 12 rankers to gain entry and stayed hidden.

"11th rank is Vexia Zakhorrow, The new Venerable Oracle!" The unicorn who tried to protect Void, respecting both parties in the fight.

"10th rank is Sophie Centorino, The new High Marshal!" The centaur who fought Amanda and later fought Vexia, taking her rank. "9th rank is Eliza! The first noble to join the Elysian Sovereignty in decades, The new Majestic Envoy!" Eliza has always represented Void, holding the will to bend fate, walking the path of Void.

"8th rank is Alfrin Dawnbringer, The new Primal Warden!" Alfrin fought continuously from the start, entering the top 50 first, then the top 25, and finally the top 10.

"Yes...yes! Finally, I'll get praise from Sir Void! Will he tie a leash and give me a round of the academy? I still have to get a kiss from him though. Ahh! I'll finally stay with him again!!" That's what was running through her mind behind the face of a fully composed and refined girl.

"7th rank is Vannessa Allainette, The new Arch Luminary!" Vannessa was deep in thought, biting her nails for some reason.

"6th rank is Celine Cercozoa, The new Divine Magistrate!" Celine was currently mad, sad, and frustrated for some reason, standing beside Vannessa and biting her nails too.

"Now, moving on to the top 5th rank, Shuri Lux, The new Elysian Swordeity! 4th is Void Middletown, The new Celestial Commander! 3rd is Opal Earlborrow, The new Grand Arbiter! 2nd is Raora Panthera, The new Supreme Chancellor! And lastly, the head of this year's batch of Elysian Sovereignty, 1st ranked Christina Phoenix, The new Imperial Overlord! And this concludes the new Elysian Sovereignty! With this, the event comes to an end!"

"Sir Void, are you alright?" Alfrin approached Void, maintaining her composure.

"Yeah, kind of. I don't know what happened exactly...but I'm somehow healed, and the weird thing is that all my injuries are gone, and my mana capacity is restored!" Void said, with a content-filled smile on his face.

"That aside, Void! Why do you smell weird?!" Vannessa hissed, coming close to Void and grabbing his already half-torn collar. She was angry.

"Am I...?" Void asked, taking a step back.

"Yes! You smell like that milk tank who brought you here!" Vannessa said, enraged. She wrapped Void in a passionate kiss, hugging him tightly, trying to remove the unwanted, disgusting smell from him. As she broke the kiss, Void gasped, trying to catch his breath.

"Look here, my love," Vannessa pulled Void closer and whispered in his ear, her nails digging in. "I'm okay with sharing you legally, but it seems there are more bitches on their way! That's why, from now on, I'll do my best to keep them away. I've agreed to share you with your fiancées who have the right to stay beside you, but I won't let any lowly slut misunderstand my love!"

Vannessa stepped back as Alfrin wrapped Void in a shadow ball to help him get dressed again. While Void was changing his clothes, Alfrin asked, "Sir, I do want to know what helped you regain your strength and consciousness. I saw the strength of that girl Opal—she was way more dangerous, going head-on with Shuri and Aelius..."

"It was milk. I drank milk! And the next thing I knew, Toriel was helping me heal," Void said, tilting his head, causing Alfrin's face to darken. She quickly composed herself as Void turned his gaze back to her.

"I see, Sir. I think it's better if someone asks you about how you healed yourself. Just say you don't know anything, because if you said you were healed by drinking milk, it would look weird," Alfrin advised, clearing the shadow ball.

"Okay!" Void said with a slight grin on his face. He was now ready, wearing the iconic black, gothic attire with a blue gothic overcoat draped over his shoulders.

"Void, sadly you got the upper hand here..." Celine said, wrapping Void in her tentacles again while whispering in his ear. Her words sent shivers down Void's spine. "Congratulations, Void...see you soon!" With a soft kiss on his cheek, she left, leaving Void watching her go.

"What the hell does she think she is, huh? She's nothing compared to me! Compared to any of your fiancées!" Lumi yelled from inside Void. But before she could get angrier, she noticed Lora, the mermaid, blowing Void a kiss and winking at him. "She... I told her not to act like this...!" Lumi murmured.

"Void Middletown! I knew you'd become part of the Elysian Sovereignty," Christina said, her tone carrying a soothing, calm softness.

"Yeah...I honestly wasn't in a state to fight much...hehe!" Void scratched his head, letting out a soft chuckle at the twist in his life. "So what are we going to name our batch?"

"Well, there are three batches. First is Aureate Dominion, ruled by Astra Langley. Second is Crimson Ascendancy, ruled by Hella Tulov. Third is Obsidian Dominion, ruled by Tivera Vincent!" Raora said, entering the room. She still avoided making direct eye contact, her mind serious.

"The first batch symbolizes unmatched brilliance and authority. The second represents relentless power and the pursuit of greatness. The third embodies unyielding strength and formidable will. My vision is that our batch should reflect resilience, growth, and enduring influence!" Christina declared. Everyone began to think of a name befitting them.

"It's like you want to show a legacy, a legacy of growth. I think the best name is Verdant Legacy!" Opal said, walking in with a certain smile on her face, hiding the menace and melancholy inside her.

"That's a nice name! A legacy of continuous growth," Christina said, a smile playing on her lips.

"I know, I'm good at naming things. A legacy of unshakable resilience," Opal added.

"That suits my taste too! A legacy of endurance!" Raora said, a small smile forming on her lips.

"A legacy of influence! I don't know much about you guys, but I guess things won't be that bad!" Void said, letting out a contented chuckle, while in his mind, he thought, "...I hope so."
