Across the continent, however, there were voices of caution. A respected European analyst warned on live television, "His might is undeniable, but the risks of such concentrated might could lead to unforeseen consequences." Despite these concerns, the prevailing sentiment was overwhelmingly positive, many were convinced that Markus's intervention would bring stability to a region plunged into chaos. The consensus among experts was clear: when faced with overwhelming adversity, only someone of Markus's caliber could emerge victorious without hesitation.

Social media platforms buzzed with excitement and relief as well, with hashtags like #MarkusForJapan and #ShadowSavior trending worldwide. News feeds from Asia, Europe, and the Americas showed a global community rallying behind his mission. While some posts expressed apprehension about the potential dangers of wielding such overwhelming power, the majority celebrated Markus's daring decision and predicted an imminent victory against the forces wreaking havoc in Japan.

Amid these turbulent global reactions, Markus maintained his focus. His transmigrated knowledge had prepared him for this moment, and he was determined to harness new abilities for himself while helping Japan. He recalled with clarity that his ultimate aim was to copy the Portal Manipulation skill and refine it, a critical component of his long-term strategy. Every news segment and forum comment only bolstered his resolve, as he saw the world's anticipation as a stepping stone toward his next monumental evolution.

Markus's arrival in Japan was marked by a chilling declaration at a still-operational military airport. Standing before a throng of bewildered officials and tense security personnel, he announced in a calm yet commanding tone that he would begin cleansing the devastation from Kyushu Island. His plan was precise: move eastward and northward, district by district, island by island, and clear every giant, monster, and unruly gate that the Japanese Hunters Association had failed to control. His words, delivered with quiet authority, echoed through the terminal, setting the stage for a campaign that would reshape Japan's hunter landscape.

Without delay, Markus mounted one of his sleek Lightning Dragons and soared into the skies. The dragon's scales shimmered with electric brilliance, and its wings cut through the stormy air as it carried Markus to his destination. The journey was a spectacle of raw power and swift determination, icon of his unyielding ambition to impose order on the chaos that had consumed the region.

Once in Kyushu, Markus issued a decisive command. He summoned every ounce of his necromantic might, calling forth his elite undead forces. In a display of unbridled power, he rallied Wraith Lords, Vampire Lords, Lich Lords, and Lich Generals to the limit, ordering them to in turn summon their subordinate units and resurrect hybrid bosses from every gate and dungeon he had ever cleared. The combined effect was staggering: over 10,000 undead, each a testament to his relentless drive, now stood ready to do his bidding.

As the news of this colossal army spread, international media outlets erupted with astonishment. In live broadcasts from Tokyo, London, and New York, anchors described Markus's operation as nothing short of apocalyptic. "This is a miracle, or a disaster," one anchor remarked, while another predicted, "No force on earth can match the sheer power of these immortal summons." The headlines painted him as a savior for the desperate, a harbinger of change who could overturn the current global order.

Online, discussions on global forums reflected the polarized views of the public.

HunterNet Thread: "Markus: Savior or Scourge?"

ShadowEmperor01: "Markus's army is unreal! Over 10,000 undead at his command, if he declared war, no nation could stand against him."

NecroGod99: "I'm in awe! His summons are essentially immortal, death is just a temporary setback they are simply re-emerging in seconds."

BattleMage82: "The simulations say he's unstoppable. This is a game changer."

DarkMage84: "Markus's strategy is genius, combining necromancy with unparalleled mana manipulation. The world is witnessing history." 

These voices, though varied, overwhelmingly acknowledged that Markus's intervention might be the turning point Japan so desperately needed.

Amid the global acclaim and cautious optimism, Markus's focus remained unyielding. He had already copied the Black Heart skill from Jinwoo. In total he has copied:

1- Shadow Extraction.

2- Shadow Storage

3- Monster Language Fluency

4- Shadow Exchange

5- Monarch's Domain

6- Black Heart

7- Portal Manipulation

Seven times, the Black Heart was a feat that granted him an astronomical boost in mana and further solidified his status as the true master of shadows. He still had three copy slots remaining, which he intended to devote two of them to Black Heart the last one will be Portal Manipulation again, while using other monarchs to perfect his portal creation by copying it from them. The promise of expanding Portal Manipulation from mere inter-world travel to traversing entire realities fueled his ambitions even further.

Markus's command was as sharp as it was unyielding. With precise orders, he directed his newly bolstered undead legion to sweep through Kyushu, clearing every hostile creature and unstable gate with ruthless efficiency. His voice resonated with authority as he outlined his strategy: methodically secure every district and island, leaving no monstrous threat unchecked. His plan was not merely to conquer but to establish an unassailable order in a land plunged into chaos.

As his undead army surged forward, an amalgam of spectral, skeletal, and hybrid monstrosities marching in unison. Markus contemplated the broader implications of his actions. He envisioned a future where his forces not only defended Japan but also reshaped the geopolitical landscape. His relentless efficiency and strategic genius set him apart, a man who turned disaster into opportunity, and hope into raw, unbridled power. 

With his preparations complete and his strategy in motion, Markus pressed on. His mastery over the System had unlocked unprecedented potential, and his continued evolution of skills like Black Heart and Portal Manipulation promised even greater feats in the days to come. The world, now watching in a blend of awe and trepidation, was about to witness the full might of Markus Tenebris, a harbinger of change in a new era of hunters.

Across Kyushu, Markus's undead legion advanced methodically, sweeping the island meter by meter. Every gate that had once spewed chaotic energy was meticulously cleared, mined for mana crystals, monster cores, and corpses, and then promptly sealed. His forces, ruthless and unyielding, relentlessly gathered these resources, transporting them to centralized warehouses, ensuring that not a single drop of resource was wasted. 

While his hybrid army operated in perfect unison, Markus himself moved with the fluidity of a shadow, his diverse arsenal of arcane, elemental, and physical skills making him a force without restraint. In one skirmish on the outskirts of a ruined district, his halberd, imbued with lightning and metal manipulation, sliced through a towering giant monster. The creature's roar was drowned out by the crackling discharge of electricity, its monstrous form reduced to shattered fragments in mere moments. 

Within just seven hours, the entire Kyushu region was transformed. Every giant, monster, and rogue gate had been vanquished, and the undead legions, especially his Vampire Lords and Graveguard Hussars, swept through the districts with the speed of ghosts. Reports indicated that his forces moved so swiftly that even the legendary speed of ancient myth seemed sluggish in comparison, their spectral forms almost intangible as they struck with lethal precision.

Satisfied with the swift clearance of Kyushu, Markus redirected his attention to the neighboring islands. Without hesitation, he dispatched his forces toward Shikoku and Chugoku. Opting to lead the assault on Chugoku himself, he orchestrated a repeat of his previous operations, employing his diverse combat mastery and strategic foresight to dismantle any lingering threats across the region.

Within a mere twenty-four hours of his arrival in Kyushu, Markus and his army of undead had completed the final operations in the last districts of Chubu. The efficiency of his campaign was nothing short of legendary, an unprecedented display of power and tactical genius that left the entire hunter world in awe. His forces moved in an orchestrated symphony of death and reclamation, clearing every gate and slaying every foe with ruthless efficiency.

The global reaction was swift and dramatic. In online forums and social media, fans of undead forces erupted with excitement.

HunterNet Thread: "Markus's Undead Legion - Unstoppable Force!"

ShadowEmperor01: I can't believe how fast the Graveguard Hussars swept through Kyushu, like phantom knights from a forgotten era.

NecroGod99: His Vampire Lords and Wraith Lords moved with such grace and speed, it's as if they were dancing in a ballet of death.

BattleMage82: This isn't just military strategy, it's art. Markus's operation is redefining the limits of power.

DarkMage84: If this is just the beginning, imagine what happens when he sets his sights on a full-scale siege. 

The discussions were mostly positive, with many hailing Markus as a miracle worker, though a few experts expressed concern over the potential consequences of such overwhelming force. 

Professional military analysts around the globe were equally astounded. A renowned European strategist noted on live television, "Markus Tenebris's methodical clearing of Kyushu in under seven hours is a tactical masterpiece, his forces are not just powerful, they're nearly invincible." Meanwhile, experts in Asia and North America debated the long-term implications, with some speculating that if Markus ever declared war, no conventional army could hope to stand against his nearly immortal summons. 

As Markus consolidated his gains, he set his sights on the next phase: the Kanto region. From the south and West, he deployed siege formations designed to halt any giant or monster from infiltrating the newly cleared areas. Simultaneously, he dispatched a specialized force of ten Dragons and one hundred Wraith Lords to Okinawa, ensuring that every potential threat was met with overwhelming counterforce. His strategic deployments were calculated to maintain a nearly unbreakable defensive perimeter. 

In the heat of battle, Markus's prominent forces shone with awe-inspiring brilliance. His Fire, Frost and Lightning Dragons roared across the skies, their scales shimmering like liquid flame, while the Lightning Dragons streaked through the heavens, crackling with electric fury. Frost Dragons with their area wide frost attack leaving behind them frozen gardens of anatomically strange monsters waiting to be shattered. On the ground, his Vampire Lords moved with uncanny agility, their movements fluid and almost ethereal as they decimated enemy formations. The Graveguard Hussars, swift and ghostlike, phased through barriers and ambushed foes with lightning-fast strikes, leaving enemies paralyzed with the terror of reliving their darkest memories. 

Reactions from Markus's fans and undead enthusiasts flooded in online.

HunterNet Thread: "Markus's Operation: Pure Brilliance!"

ShadowEmperor01: His Graveguard Hussars are the embodiment of lethal elegance, they move like specters, leaving devastation in their wake.

NecroGod99: Those Dragons? Absolute perfection. Each strike is a symphony of fire and lightning, unmatched in raw power.

FireLord88: I'm in awe, if Markus ever declares war, he'll be unstoppable.

HunterFanGirl: I'm obsessed! His Vampire Lords make everything look so effortlessly deadly.

BattleMage82: This operation is a game-changer; Markus has set a new standard for what a hunter can achieve. 

IceQueen42: Frost Dragons are the coolest of them all, both physically and metaphorically. Just saying.. 

The overwhelming praise was balanced by cautious speculation, with some experts warning that such concentrated power could reshape the geopolitical landscape in unpredictable ways. 

Markus's relentless pursuit of power had reached new heights; his skill EXP and levels were skyrocketing as he systematically honed every ability. Every battle, every dungeon cleared, and every successful copy added to his repertoire, leaving him to wonder what his status would look like when all was said and done. His mastery over necromancy, elemental magic, and physical combat was evolving at an exponential rate, and the world was beginning to take notice. 

Meanwhile, news broke that Sung Jinwoo had decided to join the fray, adding his own and Shadow's strength to the global conflict by recruiting Giants to bolster his army. As Jinwoo mobilized his forces, the international community watched in awe. The Korean Hunter Association President made a formal announcement, stating, "In these dire times, our collective strength must be united. With Markus Tenebris and Sung Jinwoo at the helm, we are ready to reclaim our territories and safeguard our people." His words resonated around the globe, setting the stage for an unprecedented alliance. 

By the time Jinwoo initiated his own assault, Markus's forces had already finished clearing the districts of Tohoku and had set siege on the northern and eastern sectors of the Kanto region. His Wraith Lords dominated the eastern sea, their spectral forms patrolling the coastline and preventing any monstrous incursion. The sheer scale of the operation was staggering, and the efficiency with which Markus's hybrid undead moved through the territories was nothing short of legendary. 

In a private moment of triumph, Markus welcomed Jinwoo personally upon his arrival at the besieged front. In a brief, respectful exchange, Markus extended a nod of approval, and with no time wasted, he activated his Copy ability three more times and copied Black heart 2 times and Portal Management was the last copy he copied from Jinwoo. Each activation imbued him with an additional surge of mana, a colossal boost that further enhanced his already formidable powers. Jinwoo, recognizing the strategic value, immediately dispatched his elite forces to assist with the siege on the Kanto region, while his remaining troops cleared Hokkaido with ruthless precision. 

The global reaction to these events was immediate and polarizing. News channels from Europe, North America, and Asia broadcast live coverage, showing images of monstrous creatures and vast undead legions sweeping through territories. One American anchor stated, "Mr. Tenebris is redefining what it means to be a hunter, his forces are an unstoppable juggernaut." Meanwhile, a British analyst remarked, "This operation is nothing short of miraculous; the efficiency is unparalleled, though the risks are immense." Across social media, debate raged over whether this was a sign of salvation or a prelude to further chaos.

Yet, not all the reactions were celebratory. Religious leaders, particularly from the Vatican and several prominent televangelists, condemned the rise of what they called "necromantic forces." In televised statements and international press conferences, they warned that such unholy magic defied the natural order. One senior bishop declared, "These powers are an affront to creation itself; we must pray fervently that no one ever finds themselves in need of such abominations." Despite this, a majority of the public and experts saw Markus's actions as necessary in a time of crisis. 

The global media continued to report on the astonishing changes reshaping the hunter landscape.
