Ever since the otherworld gained the distinction between the Death Territory and the National Territory, because resources were far richer in the Death Territory, thus, professional players from countries all over the world began to enthusiastically flock to the Death Territory.
The Death Territory was like a check-in hotspot that professional players from every Nation in every world had to visit.
———
[World 20, Endless Abyss]
[Death Territory, Nightmare Abyss, Second Layer]
Raid teams from all countries could be seen everywhere.
All powers contended.
In a corner—
CRASH!
"Ah!"
With a miserable scream, a black-armored warrior man from the Eastern Nation named [Goto Inji] raised his blade and killed a Black archer belonging to the [Selma Nation].
Looking at the vast amount of loot dropped on the ground, which required the deaths of at least over a hundred people to appear, Goto Inji sneered contemptuously and said, "To dare fight over resources with our Great Eastern Nation people, you really have a death wish!"
Around them, dozens of Eastern Nation professionals began to clean up the battlefield and gather the dropped loot.
On the field, aside from the Eastern Nation, there was also a team from Oil and a team from the Beacon Nation.
All three belonged to the Seven Great Nations.
At this time, the leader of the Oil Nation team, a silver-armored knight named [Bayev], said to Goto Inji, "Hey, we agreed beforehand to divide the rewards based on the number of kills. Just now, our Oil team killed 28 of them. According to the ratio, we should receive 30% of the loot, right?"
The Eastern team leader, Goto Inji, smiled and said, "Bayev-kun, saying that is too distant."
"Between our Seven Great Nations, aren't we like real brothers? Why calculate things so precisely?"
"The loot, our three sides will share. Look at these pieces of equipment, whichever brother can use them, just take it directly!"
Bayev laughed heartily, "Looks like I was being small-minded!"
At this time, the Beacon Nation team leader, Level 114 red-robed mage [Larted], suddenly said with a bit of concern, "I heard that the Dragon Nation's necromancer, Zero, is about to break through the World 19 and arrive in the 20. Let's be careful not to run into him."
Goto Inji wiped the long blade in his hand stained with Selma Nation professional blood. His sharp gaze carried an expression of disdain, "If he dares to come, I'll use him to offer sacrifice to my blade!"
"People from the Dragon Nation, come one, I'll kill one! Killing them is like slaughtering pigs! I only fear they don't dare come!"
Such bravado earned the admiration of professionals from both Beacon and Oil, "Inji-kun is truly awe-inspiring! Worthy of being from one of the world's top-tier powers. Seems we need to learn more from your Eastern Nation!"
Goto Inji appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was blooming with joy.
Establishing authority before allies from two major countries and winning their admiration, this was exactly the scene Goto Inji most wanted to see.
However, truth be told, Goto Inji did not dare to provoke [Zero].
The reason he dared to boast wildly was only because he knew the Nightmare Abyss map was so vast, that even if Zhang Yue truly came here, the chance of running into each other was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Since there was no way to meet, then this bluffing, wasn't it entirely up to him how to act?
Only thing was. what Goto Inji never imagined, even in his dreams, was: his "wish" actually came true.
Just as Goto Inji's words had barely landed and the people from the two allied nations were still praising the Eastern Nation's boldness—
Whoosh!
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. Everyone on the field felt a chill.
"Why does it suddenly feel so cold, is it winter already?"
As they spoke, they saw in front of them, a battle general clad in icy blue frost armor, wielding an ice blade, emanating a kingly aura, was slowly walking toward them.
Seeing that ice-armored general, the people from the three great nations all widened their eyes.
"Pseudo… pseudo-King level BOSS, Ice-Sealed War God Weikano!"
Clearly, the live broadcast of the Dragon Nation's necromancer Zero soloing the pseudo-King level BOSS Ice-Sealed War God in the World 19 had been witnessed by everyone present.
Therefore, everyone on the field knew just how terrifying this ice-armored general's strength was!
Everyone fell into panic.
Until Bayev suddenly shouted a sentence, "Wait! The Ice-Sealed War God is already dead. He was captured as a pet by Zero. He's no longer that same pseudo-King level BOSS!"
Hearing this, everyone sighed in relief.
But then they thought again…
"If Zero's pet is here, that means…"
"Zero is nearby!"
Immediately, everyone's inner fear increased tenfold.
Even more terrifying than a pseudo-King level BOSS.
Soloing a level-six beast tide, reverse killing a pseudo-King level BOSS, single-handedly crushing the armies of the Seven Great Nations.
The Dragon Nation necromancer [Zero]'s god-tier feats had long since become an unshakable shadow in the minds of countless people from the Seven Great Nations.
Upon learning Zhang Yue was nearby, everyone's first reaction, legs turned to jelly.
"Run! Run, now!"
Don't know who shouted that, but everyone stared at the Ice-Sealed War God like seeing a ghost, all turning around and bolting.
But just as they turned—
ROAR!
With a deafening dragon roar, the colossal form of the thirty-six-winged Armageddon Black Dragon, so massive it could blot out the sky, was seen soaring from the rear sky.
Opening its blood-filled maw, it spewed out a searing stream of dragonfire, instantly engulfing the Oil professional team who were running in the front.
Amidst a series of miserable screams, everyone touched by the dragonfire, without exception, were instantly killed by the 9000w+ AOE damage.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH. WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Dozens of beams of blue light shot skyward, mixed with lots of starlight.
This scene caused the remaining professionals from the Eastern and Beacon Nations to fall into extreme terror!
Perhaps after spending too much time with Zhang Yue, the Armageddon Black Dragon's nature had begun to resemble its master. It understood well.
Its attack intentionally avoided Goto Inji, Larted, and Bayev, the three team leaders.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Under a storm of wild bombardment, apart from those three, all several hundred others from the three great Nations were annihilated.
Rumble!
The gigantic body descended from the sky. Its left foot stepped on Larted, and its right foot on Bayev, pinning the two team leaders to the ground.
ROAR!
With a roar toward Goto Inji, who had fallen on the ground in front, it scared Goto Inji into peeing himself on the spot.
Next second.
Zhang Yue and Athena slowly stepped out from behind the Armageddon Black Dragon.
Looking at Zhang Yue, Goto Inji's face was full of disbelief.
He never imagined, even in his dreams, that he would really run into Zhang Yue.
Under the threat of the myth-level thirty-six-winged Armageddon Black Dragon, Larted and Bayev, frightened of death, hurriedly begged Zhang Yue for mercy, "Big bro, back in the World 19, the operation targeting the Dragon Nation wasn't our idea!"
"Yeah, we were only acting on behalf of our nation's bottom level. We didn't have any real authority. Whatever orders came from above, we just followed them!"
"We didn't intentionally target your people. Please spare us!"
"Easy," Zhang Yue smiled faintly, picked up two Death Marks randomly dropped by Eastern Nation professionals from the ground, tossed them in front of Larted and Bayev, and said to the two of them, "Make a choice."
"Who lives, who dies."
