My younger brother; Mada Stormvale is the new leader of the Waterfall Clan.\" He said while pointing toward a stupefied Mada.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gathered crowd were stunned into immediate silence as all eyes drifted between Mada and Gunther in sheer confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who didn’t know these two? The sons of Orion Stormvale?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just that, but they all knew exactly how formidable Gunther really was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a battle-crazed individual who considered administrative duties to be absolute garbage and a colossal waste of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he spent the vast majority of his life on beast worlds, battling powerful creatures alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bloody expeditions sometimes spanned entire months without a break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had forged this reputation himself, and it had spread throughout the faction as he would frequently walk into other clans’ territories to clear any high-level portal that dared to open on their lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Mada, on the other hand, was quite the opposite of his brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his older sibling, Mada was significantly weaker, but still no less strong than a high-tier warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to any sane person, Gunther should have been the undisputed leader of the Waterfall Clan due to his raw prowess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the ritual of determining the head of the Aetherian faction, if one wanted to be the leader of a specific clan, outsiders usually had no say in the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the elders within the clan could decide who they truly wanted at the helm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, in the case of Gunther and Mada; if the decision were to be made on strength alone, the older brother would have been picked hands down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And depending on whether he accepted or declined the mantle, he would be the head of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But judging by the fact that Mada was now the declared leader, it seemed that Gunther had flatly rejected the title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>... Obviously, he would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These political things didn’t suit his temperament, and for him, the role would be nothing but a heavy restriction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t be able to do whatever he wanted to do because the leader of a clan had so many tedious responsibilities to take care of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would be so limited and might not be able to grow any stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, he had pushed the role onto his younger brother instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, that was what Mada had always secretly wanted, and now, he finally had it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, what could the assembly do? It was none of their business, so they all turned their collective attention back toward Leo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don’t care about whatever happens internally within the clans. All we care to know about is who has been selected as the head of the entire faction,\" the bald-headed man asked, his voice echoing through the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo then stepped aside, and in his place, three distinct figures stepped forward into the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noelle, Mada, and Rivock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the fact that these three were the ones who walked forward in such a synchronized manner, it seemed like the new hierarchy was being made crystal clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were now the new leaders of the three major clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kids, no less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those seated and those standing were absolutely furious at this development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their minds, it should have been them taking those seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to voice out their disdain, to scream their protests, but they found they simply couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All because of one specific person; Rivock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constant, chilling smile on his face was more than enough to deter them from speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single person seated there had witnessed his terrifying strength head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had cleared through their ranks like a seasoned farmer weeding out his farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, Rowen’s blood coursed through his veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a monster amongst the new generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the leader of the Waterfall Clan,\" Mada began, his voice surprisingly steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the leader of the Aetherborn clan,\" Noelle said, her gaze sharp and unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the leader of the Iron Fur Clan,\" Rivock uttered with a cocky, dangerous smile stretching across his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three direct descendants... the new leaders... glanced at one another for a fleeting moment before nodding in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in perfect unison, they turned around and pointed directly into the crowd where Grey’s allies stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... We choose Grey Dawn, otherwise known as the Supreme Magus, as the new head of the Aetherian faction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a few seconds of absolute silence in the cavernous hall as those within it blinked confusedly at what the kids were proclaiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t even recognize the name Grey Dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor could they easily spot him at first, as the new leaders were pointing generally in the direction of the diverse group gathered on the raised platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their collective confusion, everyone on the platform quickly stepped back in a synchronized motion, leaving Grey standing alone with a blank, bewildered look on his face as three fingers remained pointed in his direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orange-haired woman tilted her head for a moment, narrowing her eyes while staring at the specific individual they were highlighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An incredulous look appeared on her sharp features before she broke the heavy silence with a loud, mocking cackle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For real? That? That is who you people want to lead you?\" The woman laughed, her voice resounding across the stone walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The direct... uh... leaders of the Aetherian faction turned around to stare at her, deep frowns etching themselves onto their young faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s so funny?\" Noelle asked, her voice cutting through the laughter with a cold, stoic edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s funny is that you bastards chose such a plain dude as the head of this faction!\" The bald man had completely lost his composure as he shot to his feet, his chair scraping loudly against the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Is this some kind of a joke? Just because you three are the heads of the big three clans doesn’t mean you can just install your friend as the leader of this great faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t even know who this fool is in the first place! There are far more worthy warriors in our ranks who deserve this title rather than this poor-looking fool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy moment of silence followed in the hall while the other representatives nodded their heads in silent, grumbling agreement with the man’s assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the kids could offer a rebuttal, Leo stepped forward, his presence commanding attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The one whom you call a mere kid and a poor thing... is the one who defeated Orion Stormvale.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pin-drop silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody reacted for several passing seconds as the weight of the claim settled over the room like lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the orange-haired woman rose slowly, a dark frown clouding her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you taking us for fools now? He doesn’t even have a discernable aura or a signature around him, yet you claim he defeated Orion? This is not a game, Leonardo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gunther cocked his brows, his expression one of genuine confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And who’s playing games here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly man who was seated remained quiet for a few moments, his steady gaze turning to look in Grey’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mage himself just remained frozen, listening to the heated arguments echoing through the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, he wasn’t exuding any aura whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years of honing his control had already allowed him to mask his magical aura and raw power whenever he desired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was exactly what he was doing at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, there was really no use in flaunting his strength here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t as if revealing his mana would help; they wouldn’t be able to comprehend the nature of it anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would just remain fixated on his Ki signature, which was kept incredibly low compared to the powerhouses in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine then,\" Leo spat, moving away with a frustrated frown on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this? Anyone that has a problem with this arrangement should step forward right now and battle Grey Dawn to the death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1320,"2026-06-05T15:21:42.431Z",1,"novelbin.me","c382d394f2834ad3eaf260b073989f7d087a96c4d9aface6fb936fbe8e052dd8","magus-supremacy-chapter-877","magus-supremacy-chapter-875",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmagus-supremacy-cover.jpg"]
