In this battle, Zhang Yue not only made a name for himself in one strike and revitalized the Dragon Nation's prestige before the entire world, but also took advantage of the pseudo-King-level BOSS Ice-Sealed War God and the beast tide to reap a huge harvest.
It can be said that he achieved a win-win in both national and personal interests.
In contrast, the people of the Seven Great Nations suffered far too great a loss.
They exhausted all their schemes, consumed massive manpower, and created beast tides in the World 19 of their respective countries, invading the Dragon Nation through the Ghost Tower.
They even nurtured a pseudo-King-level BOSS, the Ice-Sealed War God, attempting to use it against Zhang Yue.
In the end, however, they ended up giving Zhang Yue a great gift.
After the armies of the Seven Great Nations were defeated and could only watch helplessly as the beast tide and the pseudo-King-level BOSS were both vanquished by Zhang Yue, the leaders of the Seven Great Nations exploded collectively.
["How on earth did he ignore permanent death, and even counter-kill that pseudo-King-level BOSS?"]
["A profession user who's only level 110, never mind that he wiped out a level-six beast tide, but he could even solo kill a pseudo-King-level BOSS! Is this something a normal person can do?"]
["This time we've truly lost face to the extreme! In front of the whole world, our elite armies of the Seven Great Nations were wiped out by this snot-nosed kid. How can we show our faces internationally from now on?"]
["At a time like this, you're still worried about saving face?"]
In the video conference held by the Seven Great Nations, the Prime Minister of the Lighthouse Nation, Morgan Kibada, said, ["We targeted the Dragon Nation so openly this time. That kid didn't die despite such a calamity. Next, he'll definitely try every way to retaliate against us."]
["Our most urgent priority now should be thinking about how to respond to the Dragon Nation's revenge!"]
["Hmph!"], The President of the Okaman Nation, Kuye, snorted coldly and said, ["In the end, it's just because the level of the beast tide and BOSS was too low. While Zero's strength is indeed very strong, his power is still limited to that level range."]
["A level 110 assassin, he may be able to handle level 6 beast tides, but could he handle level 7 or 8 beast tides?"],nInoue Amano, who had been hoping for the destruction of the Dragon Nation, feared that these allied nations might give up on targeting the Dragon Nation due to this setback, and hurried to chime in, ["Indeed, even without this chance, we'll still have plenty of opportunities in the future!"]
["As long as he hasn't fully grown, we'll have endless chances!"]
["One day, the Dragon Nation will definitely be trampled under our feet, and the whole world will belong to us!"]

[On the Other Side]
[Within the Dragon Nation]
After the victorious battle, Ice Emperor, Moon Mark, Seraphim and the others used money contributed by the Seven Great Nations to host a victory banquet, inviting friends from Dragon Nation's allied countries such as Bear Nation, Thracian, and Sevia to attend the celebration.
Although this war was mainly turned around by Zhang Yue's efforts to save the day, one had to admit: the Dragon Nation also gained these close friends through this event.
At that time, faced with threats from the Seven Great Nations, the armies of Thracian, Sevia, Bear Nation, and some other countries chose to stay behind to protect the Dragon Nation, refusing to retreat.
It must be known, back then they didn't even know Zhang Yue was still alive, nor did they ever imagine the Dragon Nation could defeat the Seven Great Nations.
That they still chose to support the Dragon Nation under those circumstances shows how sincere their intentions were!
As the saying goes: true feelings are seen in hardship.
So this banquet was not just about inviting them to a meal.

[At Night]
In Dragon City, the capital of the Dragon Nation, inside a six-star hotel.
Leaders and key figures from all countries took their seats one after another.
Facing tables full of delicious food and fine wine, they chatted openly and warmly.
"This time, it's all thanks to your help," At the main table, Ice Emperor said, "Thank you all for showing such favor to our Dragon Nation, for not abandoning us in our time of crisis. This sentiment, we of the Dragon Nation will surely remember deeply in our hearts."
President Shafu of Thracian said, "Although I wasn't personally at the scene at the time, I watched the entire live broadcast from in front of a screen."
Saying this, Shafu looked toward Zhang Yue seated at another table and said emotionally, "Honestly, you're the strongest profession user I've ever seen."
"Although I haven't seen much of the world, I can say without exaggeration that in the hundred-year history of the Otherworld, you are number one."
"In the past, the myth-level profession user Elfa the Ghost Sword of the Lighthouse Nation, and Kwon Ji-Hyun of the Cold Nation, at your current level, neither of them had your kind of power. So given time, when you reach full level 500, you'll definitely be the strongest profession user in this world."
As soon as Shafu finished speaking.
President Arianda of the Sevia Nation also exclaimed, "It's undeniable. Aside from the Asura God, you're the most outstanding among the profession users of your generation in the Dragon Nation. I hope one day you can surpass the Asura God and become the next god of the Dragon Nation."
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Asura, was he really that godly in your impression?"
As soon as he said this.
The leaders of all nations began debating animatedly, "Of course! Asura was revered as a god by the people. It's said that if not for Asura a hundred years ago, this world might have already been destroyed by the level-nine beast tide!"
"Asura wasn't just a god of your Dragon Nation, he was a god of our entire world! He saved humanity and defended the world!"
"If Asura were still alive, your Dragon Nation would probably already be the peak Nation of this world. Where would the Lighthouse Nation and Cold Nation have any right to be arrogant?"
"The Asura God is the faith of our Sevia Nation!"
"He is also the faith of our Thracian Nation!"
Seeing the leaders of various nations so inspired when talking about Asura, Zhang Yue couldn't help feeling a bit overwhelmed.
In his past life, before dying, Zhang Yue never knew that his identity and status in the eyes of the world were actually so awesome.
But this also echoed the old saying: Many great figures only become famous after they die.
Maybe if Zhang Yue were still alive, Asura wouldn't be called a "god."
Still, Zhang Yue accepted the world's praise of him.
Next came the highlight of the evening.
Representing the Dragon Nation, Ice Emperor said to the presidents seated at that table:
"Gratitude and repayment are traditional virtues of us Dragon Nation people."
"A peach for a plum, repay kindness with kindness."
"These are tokens of thanks from our Dragon Nation to all of you. Please accept them with a smile."
As he spoke, Ice Emperor clapped his hands.
Then, in the center of the hotel lobby, several exquisite and luxurious treasure chests appeared on a rising platform.
At the same time, a host dressed in formal wear took the microphone and loudly announced, "Dragon Nation's allied countries: Bear Nation, the Sevia Nation, Thracian Nation, Argenine Nation, Owl Nation, Kenuo Nation, ach receives 200 billion gold, five sets of level 500 golden gear, three legendary treasures, and three SSSSS-grade rare skill books."
"May friendship between all nations and the Dragon Nation last forever!"
