After an ID named [Honor, Nemesis] posted a message in the chat channel of the World 17, all Dragon Nation professionals in the World 17 became furious.
["Which country dares to touch us, Dragon Nation?"]
["A Black Nation. Their strength isn't very high, mainly they just have too many people, and we have too few!"]
["Didn't you tell them you were from Dragon Nation? Who dares to mess with the world's third-ranked Dragon Nation? Who gave them the guts!"]
["We did, but they didn't care!"]
This news made people even angrier.
As a result, professionals from the World 17 rushed to respond:
["Brother, hold on a bit longer. My brothers and I are still a bit behind on our world mission progress, so we can't enter the Death Territory yet. As soon as we finish our mission, we'll head over to support you!"]
["I'm in the Death Territory. You guys are on the Death Coast map, right? I'll bring people over immediately! But the Death Territory map is too big, this distance will take about twenty minutes or so. Hold on!"]
["Big brother, if you guys take twenty minutes to get here, you'll only be able to collect my corpse..."]
Over on Zhang Yue's side.
After closing the world chat channel, he continued searching for his last prey: a BOSS-level Demon God.
However, this wasn't the Aura Continent, where Territory bosses and BOSSes were everywhere.
In normal maps, the probability of a BOSS appearing was very low.
Searching for a BOSS by himself was too time-consuming.
So, Zhang Yue directly posted in the world channel: ["Who has a BOSS? Help me with my mission. I'll only take the BOSS, no loot."]
["Holy shit! Zero God!"]
Zhang Yue's single message caused quite a stir.
["In this lifetime, I actually get to be in the same world as Zero God!"]
["Isn't that obvious? Now that the otherworld update has introduced new worlds, the old provincial and municipal region divisions no longer exist. All professionals nationwide are now in the same world."]
["But still, being in the same world as Zero God—I'm so hyped!!"]
["Zero God, can I get an autograph? Uh… it's not for me, it's for a friend…"]
Amidst the commotion.
Right after Zhang Yue sent his message, a female mage with the ID [Flying Fish] sent him a private message via temporary chat.
The other party sent a location.
Zhang Yue rode his dragon, quickly reaching the position she provided: Fiend Demon Mountain Range.
There, within the mountain range, stood a Level 98, 16-Star BOSS-class Demon God Emperor.
Around it, a small team of thirty to forty professionals was struggling against the BOSS, unable to handle it.
Zhang Yue locked onto the Demon God Emperor and dove down.
Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
With Thirty-Six Winged Armageddon Black Dragon, Phantom Predator, and Cherry unleashing a high-burst combo, over ten million damage was dealt, leaving the BOSS critically injured.
Zhang Yue followed up with a lightning skill combo, accumulating over 200 million damage, and in the blink of an eye, killed the Demon God Emperor.
[Ding~ You have killed the Level 98, 16-Star BOSS [Fiend Flame Demon God Emperor]. EXP +1 billion, Energy +101 billion!]
[Ding~ Congratulations! You have completed World Mission One. The passage to the World 17's Death Territory has been opened!]
After taking down the BOSS, Zhang Yue didn't stay. He immediately rode the Armageddon Black Dragon, heading straight for the designated teleportation passage to the Death Territory.
This left behind the dozens of professionals in Fiend Demon Mountain Range, who had been fighting with all their might against the BOSS, completely dumbfounded.
"That's it?"
"Damn! That was a 16-Star BOSS..."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
———
[Death Territory, World 17]
Endless darkness engulfed the land.
The aura of death permeated everywhere.
Within this shadowy territory, unknown dangers lurked at every corner.
The deeper one ventured into the territory's central region, the thicker the aura of death became.
This was the new continent opened after four days of maintenance in the otherworld: The Death Territory.
On the coastline of the mid-tier region, after passing through the outer edges of the Death Territory, a large-scale battle was raging among professionals.
Across the coastline, golden treasure chests were scattered everywhere.
These treasure chests contained a large number of Tier 3 and Tier 4 Magic Stones.
The professionals were fighting for control over this coastline.
One of the factions was from Dragon Nation.
The Dragon Nation Guild [Honor], with just over a hundred professionals, was being surrounded and attacked by a large group of Black Nation professionals.
Their opponents came from the Elrak Nation, ranked thirty-ninth in the world rankings.
Compared to Dragon Nation, ranked third, they were a small nation.
Yet, by relying on a numerical advantage of over tenfold, they were crushing the Dragon Nation professionals on the battlefield.
Within the crowd, a Level 100 Black Warrior with the ID [Aladi] pointed his axe at the Dragon Nation professionals they had surrounded, fiercely scolding them, "I'll give you one last chance. Our Elrak Nation is taking this map. You have ten seconds to leave this coastline and go loot elsewhere, or don't blame us for being ruthless."
"Don't you understand the rule of first come, first served?"
Inside the encirclement, Honor Guild Leader, Level 100 Elite Ace Warrior [Honor, Nemesis], pointed his sword at the ground. Even though they were trapped, his aura remained domineering:
"This place was claimed by Dragon Nation first. Why should we give it to you?"
At this moment, beside Aladi, a Black Archer whispered: "Boss, they're from Dragon Nation, the world's third strongest country. Maybe we should just let them have it? We don't want to provoke them. It's bad for us."
But Aladi was unconcerned: "This coastline is rich in resources. Only by fully developing in the Death Territory can our Elrak Nation rise in the world rankings. Otherwise, we'll always be trampled underfoot by these so-called 'strong nations'."
"Besides, the world is vast. Even if we take Dragon Nation's territory, once we've mined all the resources here and left, they won't be able to find us for revenge."
"And let's not forget, the new world has strict rules: Professionals cannot easily enter another country's national territory. Whether it's Dragon Nation, ranked third, or even the number one 'Lighthouse Nation,' we don't have to fear them!"
As he spoke, desire flickered in Aladi's eyes: "And since they're from the world's third strongest country, that's even better!"
"Their gear must be top-tier. Killing them and looting some high-quality equipment. Wouldn't that be a great harvest?"
Seeing that the Dragon Nation raiding team refused to give up their territory,
Aladi immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Attack them!"
"Take them down! All the resources of the Death Abyss Coast will be ours!"
As soon as his words fell—
From all directions, over a thousand Elrak Nation professionals, Level 95-100, charged in like a tidal wave, surrounding the Honor Guild professionals.
Just as the hundred-plus Honor Guild professionals gripped their weapons, prepared to fight to the death, determined to defend Dragon Nation's dignity at all costs—
ROAR—
A thunderous dragon's roar suddenly shook the sky.
In the air above, a colossal black dragon, large enough to blot out the sun, was charging toward them at full speed.
