Inside the borders of the Eastern Nation.
The news confirming that the Necromancer had died inside the Divine Tomb came out.
In an instant, the whole nation erupted in celebration.
For Inoue Amano, it felt like a massive weight had finally been lifted off his chest.
Like a stone that had been pressing on his heart finally hitting the ground.
But still, he felt a little suspicious.
"Can we really confirm that this information is true? Don't end up giving me another fake death at the end."
The reason he could say this, of course, was because this had happened before.
There had been several similar incidents in the past.
Everyone thought Zhang Yue was dead.
Right when Inoue Amano and the whole country were celebrating, the Necromancer had suddenly popped back up full of energy, appearing again before everyone's eyes.
This time, one of the ministers under him said, "The reliability of the news is at least over ninety percent."
"Because the Divine Tomb realm has a special restriction. Once a professional dies inside it, they cannot use any resurrection ability. From what we've seen so far, not even a Resurrection God Stone can be used."
"And since the Necromancer's corpse is still inside the Divine Tomb, his body will be forever affected by this restriction. Even from the outside world, there is no way to bring him back."
"Besides, at that moment at least several billion people around the world witnessed it with their own eyes. The Necromancer was pierced through the heart and killed by a sword-wielding woman who walked straight out of a painting. The battle prompt already announced his death. This time, there is absolutely no way it could be fake."
Another minister followed with, "Then let's back up ten thousand steps. Even if he really could ignore the Divine Tomb restrictions and somehow resurrect inside it."
"In that situation, what would being alive even do for him? The Divine Tomb only allows someone to leave after completing every round of challenges. You can't exit halfway. Even if he resurrected, he'd still have to face that peak rank Transcendent Lord God Xingtian, the one who could kill him with a single strike. Even if you revived him a hundred or a thousand times, he still wouldn't be able to win."
Hearing this, Inoue Amano burst out laughing. "This hidden danger has finally been removed!"
"Without the Necromancer, Dragon Country's status will no longer keep rising. In the end, it will once again fall under the rule of our Eight-Nation Allied Forces. I'll stomp them ruthlessly under my feet!"
His face was full of ambition and desire.
At this moment, however, a minister beside him said, "But over in Beacon Country and Cold Country, they no longer want to rebuild the Eight-Nation Alliance. Of the eight original nations, only we of the Eastern Nation still insist on targeting Dragon Country. The other seven have all given up."
"That's because the Necromancer was still around. They didn't dare target Dragon Country, afraid that one day the Necromancer would grow strong and take revenge on them," Inoue Amano looked like he'd already seen through everything, "Now that the Necromancer is gone, what do they have to worry about?"
"Once the news of the Necromancer's death is completely confirmed, we'll talk to them again. We'll rebuild the Eight-Nation Allied Forces and let this world fall under the control of our eight great nations."
He paused, then continued, "Right, the previous plan stays the same. Even without the Necromancer, we still need to become stronger."
"Only if we ourselves are strong enough, without needing any other country's help, can we achieve true invincibility. When that time comes, we'll kick aside those so-called allies, and this world will fall into the hands of the Eastern Nation."
"So, any news about the Resurrection Godstone?"
"Not yet," a minister beside him replied, "But we're already investigating with full effort. Right now, Dragon Country has a few stones, but they're stored inside their capital, guarded by their top-class professional units. It's hard for us to make a move there."
"Then find another way," Inoue Amano said, "No matter what, get me a Resurrection God Stone. Only by cooperating with the Demon Emperor can we get everything we want."
"In this world, no one is reliable. Only we can rely on ourselves."
———
Twelve hours had passed since the Necromancer's death.
During this time, no new information about him had appeared.
At this point, his death was basically confirmed.
After receiving this news, Inoue Amano immediately began contacting allies, trying to rebuild the Eight-Nation Alliance.
So he created an ally group chat and pulled in all the former allies from the old alliance.
Eastern Nation, Beacon Country, Cold Country, Sun Nation, Batan, Okaman, Skarif, Oil, the eight nations.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Inoue Amano] (Eastern Nation): "Everyone, hope you've all been well."
[Leo Breuer] (Skarif): "? Wasn't this group disbanded ages ago? Why am I still in here?"
[Longbei Sen] (Sun Nation): "What's this about? Recreating this group for what?"
[Kuye] (Okaman): "Why am I here too?"
[Inoue Amano]: "Everyone relax. I pulled you all in because I want to discuss something important."
[Inoue Amano]: "As everyone knows, Dragon Country's Necromancer, Zero, has died in the Divine Tomb realm of the otherworld. His death has now been fully confirmed. I know the reason our strong alliance dissolved back then was because of the Necromancer. Now that he's dead, it means we no longer face any threat. You don't need to fear anymore. So it's time for us to revive our former glory."
[Lerloffs] (Batan): "I see."
The next second.
Group notification: Lerloffs has left the chat.
[Inoue Amano]: "Haven't you noticed? Ever since our eight nations split up, not only Dragon Country but its allied nations, Batan, Sevia, Bear Nation, all of them have been rising. If we don't act now, it won't be long before they replace us and threaten us."
[Inoue Amano]: "So I propose we rebuild the Allied Forces, eliminate Dragon Country first, then move on to ruling this world. You're all leaders of empires. Everyone, give your stance."
Right as Inoue Amano finished speaking.
Group notification: Elfa has left the chat.
Group notification: Kwon Ji-Hyun has left the chat.
Seeing Beacon Country and Cold Country both leave, the remaining nations gradually left as well.
In the end, only Oil and Skarif remained.
[Inoue Amano]: "Then it'll be a three-nation alliance. When we take over the world in the future, you'll both get your share."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Just after the cross-national meeting ended, Inoue Amano received news that made him even more excited, "There's finally news about the Resurrection Godstone."
