Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 327 Monsters of the Emission System
The sky above Meteor City was obscured by countless Nen bullets, which poured down like a torrential rain across the city.

Each psychic bullet is only the size of an adult's fist, but it contains energy comparable to a grenade, causing a violent explosion the moment it hits the ground.

The buildings in the core area of ​​Meteor City collapsed under continuous bombing, and smoke and fire instantly engulfed large areas of the city.

Faced with this indiscriminate, overwhelming attack, the armed forces of Meteor City, even with their superior weaponry, were powerless to retaliate.

They could only flee the bombed area in panic, just like ordinary residents.

Only the Nen users, led by the elders, were able to put up a fight.

however--

There are so many shooting stars, and they are quite scattered.

So much so that even with their best efforts to intercept, they could only block some of the projectiles.

At this moment, it felt as if the end of the world had descended upon Meteor City.

Anger, terror, despair—

No matter what emotions surged in the hearts of the people of Meteor City, in the end, they could only turn into a deep sense of powerlessness.

They looked up at the sky, but they couldn't stop the disaster from happening.

High in the sky.

Moro remained calm as he slowly condensed a third flying star in his right hand.

Having absolute air superiority, he can use "hard" techniques to inject all his "manifested energy" into the flying star without reservation.

"Flying Star - Rending Star Rain"

With a casual toss, the condensed star suddenly split in the sky, turning into a shower of stars that poured down on the town below.

This is the third wave of bombing.

But it's not enough.

Moro's purpose on this trip was to completely exhaust all his potential energy.

Only by decisively defeating Meteor City will those who advocate revenge truly understand what real terror and powerlessness mean.

The same is true.

When faced with the first wave of meteor shower, the Nen users, led by the elders, were immediately filled with anger.

But as the second and third waves of meteor showers fell...

The anger on their faces was replaced by panic.

Next came the fourth and fifth waves.

Large swathes of town blocks were reduced to ruins in the explosion, and the well-equipped armed forces could only fall helplessly in the flames.

There are no countermeasures.

Everyone could see the source of the attack high in the sky, but they couldn't stop the meteor shower from falling.

So in the end, the elders and other Nen users could only suffer through the torment of feeling powerless and unable to do anything.

"..."

In the silent stillness, the ability users in the church were still trying their best to intercept the flying star projectiles falling around them.

But such measures are ultimately futile.

If I had to say something, it would be that at least this church, which represents faith, can be preserved.

Rumble…

Explosions kept ringing in my ears.

For the people of Meteor City, time has never seemed to slow down.

After the tenth wave of meteor showers, the dark shadow high in the sky finally went silent.

But soon,
A tiny black shadow fell from the sky.

The ability users on the church dome stared intently, and soon someone recognized the figure.

"It's Slick!"

A user with exceptional eyesight was the first to shout out; that figure was one of the members who had participated in the revenge operation against Kurapika some time ago.

Once the identity of the person who fell was recognized, everyone present understood who the attacker was.

The elders' faces were ashen, but they no longer had the strength to be angry.

"Catch him."

An elder gritted his teeth and said.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure leaped into the air and caught Slick, who was still conscious despite having all four limbs severed, before landing steadily back on the church dome.

Everyone gathered around immediately.

"It seems you're the only one left in the team carrying out the retaliation operation."

The eldest elder, his voice hoarse, asked, "Did they spare your life so that you could deliver a message?"

Slick's Adam's apple bobbed, and he said weakly, "Yes..."

"Say!"

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of another elder.

"..."

Slick's face showed a struggle, but under the cold gaze of the elders, he finally trembled and said the words that Moro had asked him to bring.

“We welcome all comers, so don’t try to take anything from us… Old rats should just stay in the sewer.”

"..."

After hearing Slick's words, the room fell into a deathly silence.

The elders' faces turned pale and then flushed in the firelight.

high altitude.

On the back of a chimera.

Moro conjured the last deception star in his palm.

The previous star shower bombardment did not involve any mechanism intervention; it was all a normal release attack that gathered all the manifest energy.

This flying star is a deceptive flying star that can be doubled in power by returning.

In fact, Slick, who was just thrown down, had already been implanted with a star.

As for how the star was implanted into Slick without his knowledge...

Very simple.

Morrow's current starlight condensation allows him to implant star marks into ordinary people remotely when releasing his abilities.

This mechanism also applies to those with special abilities.

of course.

The prerequisite for the ability to take effect is that the user is unconscious, thus losing the protection of Nen.

Morrow implanted the star mark directly into Slick's body while he was in a coma.

now--

The star markings on Slick's body will provide guidance for Morrow's deceptive flying star.

"Fraudulent Flying Star"

With a flick of his wrist, Moro sent a two-meter-diameter fluorescent green star soaring into the sky, hovering at a height of one hundred meters. Immediately afterward, psychic energy surged violently across the surface of the sphere, causing its volume to suddenly expand to four meters.

The next instant, it swooped down, trailing a long, fluorescent green tail.

Against the backdrop of night, the shooting star streaked through the air like a comet, precisely locking onto Slick on the church dome.

"That is……!?"

A bright fluorescent green light illuminated the night sky, and the Nen users on the dome looked up almost simultaneously, their pupils instantly filled with the fluorescent green light.

The dark sky had been torn open with a blinding trail of light, and although there was still some distance, the powerful psychic waves pressed down on everyone like gravity.

With just one glance, a storm surged through everyone's hearts.

Absolutely unstoppable!
This is an instinctive judgment.

It was a death knell sounding. "Scatter!!!"

Someone screamed in terror.

No one responded to him.

Because when they saw the giant psychic bullet falling like a comet, everyone's body reacted faster than their thoughts, scattering and fleeing like startled birds.

The ability user who had been holding Slick earlier threw Slick down like a hot potato and then went mad as he fled from the church.

"Take me with you! Take me with you!!!"

Slick crashed onto the church dome, and in his pupils, the death comet was rapidly enlarging, its fluorescent green light making his pale face appear ghostly.

boom!
The moment the fluorescent green star touched Slick, his silhouette melted and vanished like wax in the intense light.

At the moment of impact, the surrounding air was violently distorted.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of fluorescent green light suddenly spread out from Slick as the center point.

In an instant,
Slick and the stained glass windows next to him were swallowed up and vaporized by the intense light.

The shockwave that followed swept across, and the entire church cracked layer by layer like a fragile biscuit.

The stones that shattered from the cracks turned to dust even before they hit the ground.

As the entire church rapidly crumbled in the fluorescent light, the blinding halo, carrying shockwaves, continued to ripple outwards.

Wherever it goes, everything is annihilated in the intense light energy.

Those ability users who scattered and fled were quickly hit by the shockwave, and all of them were like kites with broken strings, being pushed higher by the airflow.

In the neighborhoods further away from the church, the people of Meteor Street all looked at the aftershocks of the explosion with expressions of fear.

Wait until the explosions subside.

Where the church once stood, a meteorite crater has appeared.

The ultimate destructive power of the Emission System was revealed at this moment.

Those ability users who were blasted away by the shockwave could still use their telekinesis to resist the impact as long as they were far away from the center of the explosion.

However, the few unlucky ones whose cultivation was not up to par suffered severe internal injuries and were left barely clinging to life.

The others who had miraculously escaped the wreckage struggled to their feet from the ruins, staring blankly at the crater that had replaced the church and surrounding buildings.

Such a terrifying projectile attack...

Perhaps that is the real warning.

other side--

Without a doubt, he is a monster through and through.

The elders and other capable individuals strained to shift their gaze upwards.

Under the cover of night, the dark shadow hanging high in the sky could no longer be seen.

"..."

From this moment on, Meteor City's "revenge is a must" will become a joke.

Those newly selected members of the Phantom Troupe felt a heavy shadow today.

………………

Outside the garbage dump piled up like small mountains.

Several black cars were parked on the road adjacent to the mountains and forests.

A group of men in black suits got out of the car, all looking at the Meteor City town in the distance with shocked expressions as flames and black smoke shot into the sky.

These people were all under the command of the Ten Elders.

Although the Ten Elders did not completely break ties with Meteor City, they did not intend to let Meteor City have an easy time.

Disrupting resource trading is one of the measures.

Allowing gang members to hunt down Meteor City residents in the garbage dump is a price Meteor City will have to pay.

However, as soon as these gang members arrived, they witnessed the shocking scene of Meteor City being bombed.

"This level of thought..."

A one-eyed woman with her hair slicked back and her clothes open, revealing her fair chest, could no longer remain calm after witnessing the powerful, explosive attack that fell like a comet.

She is a new member of the Shadow Beasts, codenamed Gray Serpent.

Previously, Moro had killed several members of the Shadow Beasts.

However, the gang empire controlled by the Ten Elders spanned six continents and ten districts, with tens of thousands of gangsters under their command.

Their prized Shadow Beast Squad consisted of nothing more than ten of the gang's strongest henchmen.

in other words,

Even if the Shadow Beasts suffer losses, the Ten Elders can still select suitable successors from within the gang.

Therefore, the number of members of the Yin Beast has always remained constant at ten.

Nevertheless, the ability users like the earthworms and porcupines that Moro killed were not selected casually.

Gray Serpent is the new successor to the Shadow Beast, but she was originally the bodyguard responsible for protecting the Ten Elders.

However, in order to quickly replenish the number of members of the Shadow Beasts, which represent the strongest force in the gang, the Ten Elders asked her to fill one of the positions.

In reality, although the Yin Beasts are the strongest force that the Ten Elders claim to be, there are many other capable individuals in the gang besides the Yin Beasts.

These ability users have a different role than the Yin Beasts; their main responsibility is to provide close protection for the Ten Elders.

That's why, in the Yorknew City incident in the original work, Illumi needed to spend a lot of money to hire his great-great-grandfather Maha to carry out the mission of assassinating the Ten Elders.

Without Maha's help, it would have been absolutely impossible for Illumi to complete the assassination mission faster than Silva and Zeno, while dealing with a group of Devil Fruit user bodyguards.

Although Gray Serpent was transferred to the Shadow Beasts as a bodyguard, she knew the cause of death of the previous Shadow Beast members and knew that the ability user who killed them was...

A powerful Emission-type Devil Fruit user named Morrow.

Seeing the signature star shower attack, Gray Serpent could immediately confirm it even without seeing Moro.

"What a monster."

The gray snake looked solemn.

That terrifying destructive power completely exceeded her understanding of emission-type ability users.

In comparison, the Shadow Beast Squad's release-type replacement is simply not up to par.

"Meteor City has really bitten off more than it can chew."

The gray snake let out a long breath and tried its best to calm down.

She was aware of the cause and effect of the previous Youkexin auction incident, and she was also aware of Meteor Street's vengeful nature.

It is likely that the various acts of retaliation angered that powerful monster that emits energy, which led to today's devastating bombing.

But then she remembered that, in addition to targeting Meteor City, the bosses also wanted to get revenge on Moro.

However, there has been no news about Moro's whereabouts, which is why no action has been taken yet.

Gray Snake frowned as he thought of this.

Before today, she was just a subordinate who followed orders and had no way to interfere with her superiors' decisions.

From her perspective, she didn't see anything wrong with the leaders' decision.

After all, gangsters always value their reputation, and the Yorknew auction is their most important event, so they are not about to let it go.

But now that he had witnessed the destructive power of the Emission type firsthand, Grey Serpent's first reaction was to advise the leaders not to provoke Moro again.

However, as a subordinate, Gray Serpent had no right to interfere with the Ten Elders' decisions.

There's even a possibility that offering frank advice might anger the Ten Elders.

All she could do was report everything she had seen that day to the ten elders.
