Inside the tallest building of the Council State, the Dragon Tower, twelve individuals sat around a massive circular conference table.
"What do you all think about the Sorcerer Kingdom declaring war on the Council State?" asked Brelaros, the Prime Councilor and de facto ruler of the Council State's capital city, Dragon City.
He was a level 90 being and one of the oldest figures present.
Once, Brelaros had been associated with the Dragon Emperor, but due to ideological differences, he had been exiled from the dragon race.
By seniority, he should technically be Platinum Dragon Lord's uncle.
However, this fact was only known to Brelaros himself.
Platinum Dragon Lord had never heard any elder mention Brelaros, nor did he recognize him.
Brelaros had long severed ties with the dragon race and had instead established the Council State, gathering numerous powerful beings to form the Council.
He no longer bore any resentment toward the Dragon Emperor after his death and felt no emotional connection to his son, Platinum Dragon Lord, treating him as nothing more than a stranger.
"A nation of ridiculous undead? Just wipe them out already!" said a fire lizard arrogantly.
This fire lizard had reached an extremely high evolutionary stage, standing at level 75.
He had always considered himself to possess dragon lineage due to his ability to breathe fire, though he lacked wings.
He believed that if he worked hard enough, he would eventually grow wings and truly become a dragon.
"Tsain, you've been to the Sorcerer Kingdom, haven't you? What are your thoughts?" Brelaros turned his attention to Platinum Dragon Lord.
Platinum Dragon Lord was slightly surprised that the Prime Councilor was aware of his visit to the Sorcerer Kingdom.
"The Sorcerer Kingdom is very powerful," Platinum Dragon Lord said calmly.
As a level 95 being, he knew his combat strength in his armored form was limited.
If he fought in his true form, he wasn't sure if he would win, but he had sensed that Peroroncino had been extremely cautious during their encounter.
What he didn't realize was that Peroroncino's caution wasn't due to fear but rather prudent strategy.
After all, Platinum Dragon Lord was the strongest opponent Peroroncino had faced, and he didn't want to risk failure through carelessness.
"I think Tsain has grown weak after sleeping for so long. A nation of laughable undead…" sneered another dragon councilor.
This dragon was unrelated to the lineage of the Dragon Emperor.
He had come from the far eastern lands, where terrifying dragon hunters had decimated his kin, leaving him as the sole survivor of his kind.
His name was Druid, a level 80 dragon.
Platinum Dragon Lord couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
"If you think they're weak, why not go and destroy them yourself?" Platinum Dragon Lord responded directly.
Druid didn't retort.
After all, he knew Platinum Dragon Lord's strength well.
Even if Platinum Dragon Lord had weakened, they should be about equal in power.
Since Platinum Dragon Lord thought he was strong, Druid figured that if he went, it would be very difficult for him to come back.
Druid's sarcasm toward Platinum Dragon Lord stemmed from the fact that Platinum Dragon Lord had become a councilor of the Council State without doing anything.
He simply wandered the world, playing with his armor.
Despite having such powerful abilities, he did nothing.
Druid didn't like people like that.
Druid's goal was to become as powerful as the Dragon Emperor had been and return to his homeland to avenge his people.
He was very clear about his own abilities.
"I've developed a new weapon, the Magic Cannon! It might prove useful in the upcoming war," said a goblin.
The goblin was level 60 and possessed exceptional manufacturing skills.
The streets of the Council State were filled with their creations.
Even the Dragon Tower, which could house thousands of giant dragons, had been made by the goblins using their technology.
Inside this massive tower, there wasn't a single pillar.
The top, measuring nearly a thousand meters in length and width, stood steadily in the sky at a height of 10,000 meters without any support.
No one knew how this giant tower stood without pillars.
The only ones who knew were the goblins, particularly the clan leader.
"What kind of weapon is it?" Brelaros asked.
"It's a cannon that can rival sixth-tier fire magic, with an attack range of up to ten thousand meters. We've already produced hundreds of these cannons!"
"Increase the production to ten thousand cannons. I'll provide all the funding and materials!" Brelaros said.
Everyone else fell silent, including the God of Death from the Slane Theocracy.
Ever since his puppet was resurrected, he had known that he was no longer safe.
However, in the face of the unknown, he still decided to stay in the Council State, where the dragons were very powerful.
He hoped that the dragons of the Council State could defeat the Sorcerer Kingdom, though he felt it was unlikely.
Recently, the God of Death had been sensing that his puppet was resurrected, only to be killed again, resurrected and killed again, as if it was a form of humiliation.
But as someone who feared death deeply, he was able to endure it.
When he saw that no one else was speaking, Brelaros turned his gaze toward the God of Death.
"Lord Shadow, do you have nothing to say?" (The God of Death was known as Lord Shadow in the Council State.)
The God of Death hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
"I've fought against them. They are extremely strong!"
Upon hearing this, the others were shocked.
Although the God of Death had little presence in the Council State, he was the most mysterious.
He was capable of killing three councilors in an instant, and no one had noticed.
While some in the Council State might dare to provoke Platinum Dragon Lord, no one would dare challenge the God of Death.
Originally, everyone had thought that the Sorcerer Kingdom's strength would be similar to that of the Slane Theocracy, but now they started to take the Sorcerer Kingdom more seriously.
"Lord Shadow, could you tell us what exactly happened?" asked a half-snake woman. Her name was Kadusa, a level 85 Naga.
"No!" The God of Death didn't give Kadusa any face and directly rejected her.
"This is the time for the Council State to unite and resist the foreign invaders together. We rise or fall together," Kadusa tried to reason.
"You're wrong! It's your problem!" With that, the God of Death left.
It wasn't that the God of Death didn't want to communicate with them properly, but these people only respected force and not kindness.
When speaking calmly, they often took him as easy to bully.
Without being firm, they would push their luck.
The God of Death left, and Brelaros looked at the others.
They had nothing more to say.
"Then, let's all prepare for war!" Everyone left.
Brelaros followed behind Platinum Dragon Lord.
When they were in a place with only the two of them, Platinum Dragon Lord stopped walking.
"Is there something else?"
"You should know about a few true Dragon Lords whose power is comparable to your father, the Dragon Emperor, right?"
"Rather than that, I'm more curious how you know about this."
"Actually, according to seniority, I am your uncle, but I was exiled due to disagreements with the Dragon Emperor. After that, I founded the Council State. As the heir to the Dragon Emperor, you should know about the other true Dragon Lords."
"Yes, I know. There are two Dragon Lords who are equal to Father, the Maternal Dragon Lord and the Thousand Blades Dragon Lord. Below them is another Dragon Lord, the Blue Sky Dragon Lord. These are all I know!"
"Alright, I understand now!" Brelaros said and was about to turn to leave.
"Why do you want to know these?" Platinum Dragon Lord asked.
"Because if we are defeated, I want to find these powerful beings and seek revenge for the Council State!" Brelaros replied.
Platinum Dragon Lord glanced at Brelaros before turning to leave.
However, suddenly a dragon claw pierced through Platinum Dragon Lord's heart.
Platinum Dragon Lord widened his eyes in disbelief as he looked at Brelaros. "You!" And then Platinum Dragon Lord lost all life.
"I'd better personally investigate your memories to feel at ease," Brelaros muttered.
Brelaros was the name of a dragon that he had killed earlier.
The current Brelaros was a player, one of the first batch of players to enter the alternate world, just like Peroroncino and Momonga.
His race was a dragon.
Upon entering the world and being unfamiliar with the place, he killed the first dragon he encountered and examined its memories.
This gave him a rough understanding of the world's structure.
He didn't care about low-tier races like humans.
He was not a kind-hearted person like the Six Gods; he only lived for himself.
He was the one who founded the Council State and reached the World Boss level, 120.
He had also ranked first on the strength leaderboard before the game servers shut down.
His understanding of the game exceeded everyone else's.
His 90-level strength was merely a façade for the public.
The true identity of the God of Death was clear to him—one of the Six Gods.
As a fellow player, he didn't make things difficult for the God of Death.
He also knew that the Sorcerer Kingdom was a nation created by another player, and he kept a "live and let live" approach, but since they declared war, he wouldn't hold back.
As the number one player on the pre-server shutdown strength leaderboard, he possessed three world-class items from the "Twenty", and fifteen normal world-class items.
He believed that his current strength could easily overpower ten level-100 elite players.
He had no regard for the Sorcerer Kingdom's attack.
"Resurrect the corpse!" Brelaros took out a world-class item shaped like a skull.
The skull entered Platinum Dragon Lord's body.
Platinum Dragon Lord revived, and his level was raised to 100.
His race had changed to [Undead Dragon].
Brelaros explored Platinum Dragon Lord's memories, confirming that what he said was true—there were indeed two other true Dragon Lords.
One of Brelaros's world-class items, one of the Twenty, could control a target remotely with just the utterance of a name.
The control effect would not disappear even if the target died and was revived.
Brelaros planned to use this item as a contingency.
If he couldn't win, he would summon the true Dragon Lords to fight alongside him.
A player-controlled World Boss, combined with another World Boss, could easily wipe out a guild of level-100 elite players.
After all, Brelaros was the number one player on the strength leaderboard before the servers shut down.
His micro-management and control over the battlefield far exceeded other players.
He didn't think he would lose.
However, what he didn't expect was that Peroroncino's full-time humanoid, who combined all professions' skills, could easily solo World Bosses once those skills were coordinated together.
The next day, at the border of the Council State, in the plains nearby, various demi-humans and other creatures were wandering.
A giant portal opened. A colossal figure stepped out of the portal—Gargantua, a Guardian from the fourth floor of Nazarick.
Gargantua slammed his foot onto the ground, and the powerful shockwave sent every living creature within a kilometer flying.
It felt like a magnitude ten earthquake, and the ground trembled violently.
All creatures that were hit by the shockwave bled from their seven orifices, their internal organs shattered by the immense force, dying instantly.
With Gargantua's arrival, two more portals appeared.
The first portal was opened by Peroroncino, and the other were opened by the Sorcerer King and Shalltear.
A massive number of Death Knights emerged from the portals.
The sheer number was terrifying, reaching a staggering hundred thousand.
Those demi-humans that had been killed were all infected by the deathly aura and transformed into undead.
The Death Knights formed ranks and headed toward the capital of the Council State.
Peroroncino, Bukubukuchagama, Sorcerer King, and all the Guardians left in full force.
Originally, Peroroncino had planned to teleport directly to the capital of the Council State, Dragon City.
However, Momonga rejected the idea, deeming it too dangerous.
Entering their enemy's lair directly could lead them into a trap.
Peroroncino agreed with Momonga's advice, as it seemed that the three of them weren't in any particular rush.
Once they arrived, Peroroncino began casting an overclass magic.
"Mana Amplification!" A massive magic circle illuminated the sky, and after a period of guidance, the spell took effect.
Peroroncino's mana was significantly boosted.
"Summon! Holy Angel Army!" A holy-type, overclass magic.
This required a level 100 support class to cast an overclass support magic that grants buffs before it could be activated.
A brilliant light illuminated the entire sky as tens of thousands of angelic monsters appeared in the air.
The summoned angelic creatures were
The sky was filled with countless angels, lighting up the entire sky.
Together with the hundred thousand Death Knights below, they formed a contrasting black-and-white army.
The two forces advanced in unison toward the Council State.
Seeing this magic, Bukubukuchagama and Momonga looked at Peroroncino with disbelief.
"Peroroncino, this magic is terrifying! And it's unheard of, I've never heard of it before."
"This magic has incredibly strict conditions, requiring a level 100 support class to cast overclass magic. Support classes in the game barely get far—they need protection and have no combat ability, so no one plays them. People can't even make it to level 100. After all, support classes are just dead weight in a team. They're incredibly fragile and can't protect themselves in combat, so they're useless. From what I know, this skill was originally a surprise for support classes from the developers, but unfortunately, no one knew about it." Peroroncino explained why this skill had remained unknown.
