Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 402 The True King
at first,

Xiao Yapuv suppressed his murderous intent towards Xiao Mai.

This is because he didn't want wheat to become an invincible, mythical creature in the ant king's mind.

For him, this matter was far more important than any other potential impact of the wheat.

But what happened half an hour earlier made Xiao Yapuv realize the truth.

He realized that he had seriously underestimated the importance and significance of wheat in the ant king's heart.

What bothered him even more was the fleeting look of confusion on the Ant King's face when Wheat asked him his name.

Does the absence of a name mean the absence of a self?
Do not,
The king doesn't need a name.

A monster devoid of any emotion, having completely abandoned its self-concept, yet possessing all knowledge and power, is the true ruler of the world.

Therefore, a king does not need a name.

Wheat is not needed.

Just disappear, you eyesore and lowly humans!

Xiao Yapu quickly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the two figures that had landed on the top of the East Tower.

Before he even looked up, he had already manipulated a group of victims parasitized by the scale powder clones, sending them surging towards the two figures at the top of the tower like a tidal wave.

These two figures were none other than Netero and Zeno, who had followed closely behind Long Xingyu.

The aura emanating from them, refined by age, was more powerful than the rain of dragon stars falling from the sky.

However, Yapov, who was thoroughly committed to the concept of a control system, was unaware of this...

As he continued to delve deeper into the underlying characteristics of the Manipulation type, the most common personality traits among Manipulation type users, such as possessiveness, a desire for control, and self-centeredness, also spread further in him.

So much so that in the brief moment that Long Xingyu struck down from the sky, although he intercepted many dragon arrows that would threaten the Ant King at the first opportunity...

But between the invaders who followed closely behind and the wheat, he chose to deal with the wheat first.

Even though the order of the two was only a fraction of a second apart, he did indeed prioritize dealing with the wheat over the king's safety at that very moment.

despite this--

In this clash between loyalty and the complexities of human nature, asking what is right has become meaningless.

Because all of this logic is simplified into the thought that "this is all for the King Ant" under the principle of sacrifice and dedication that Shayapof upholds.

So when Netero and Zeno saw the horde of victims swarming towards them like ants atop the East Tower, they clearly sensed Shayapuf's twisted will from the life-squeezing, surging Nen.

Zeno was slightly moved.

But Netero remained calm.

Faced with the manifestation of Xiao Yapuf's twisted will, he gave the most sincere response.

"One Hundred Forms of Guanyin"

The moment the golden Guanyin appeared out of thin air, her unstoppable palm strikes landed on the many victims.

Under Xiao Yapuf's slightly astonished gaze, the numerous victims, swarming like ants, were sent flying backward at an even faster speed by the palm strike.

The speed of the palm strike was too fast for the naked eye to perceive, but one thing was certain.

The palm strike that sent the victim flying was, in terms of power, utterly incapable of penetrating the victim's manifested energy defense, which was unleashed by squeezing out their life force.

In other words, the power of a palm strike is only enough to knock the victim away.

However, Oyapuf did not think that Netero's attack power was weak because of this; on the contrary, he felt an indescribable sense of crisis at that moment.

That old man...

In just one glance, he saw through the victim's weakness.

Therefore, knowing that the victims' burst of power was fleeting, they did not waste a single bit of energy in the offensive.

Instead, with just the right amount of power and energy, it sent the gathered victims flying hundreds of meters away.

Even if the victims are unharmed, they will collapse due to excessive strain on their life force before they can regroup and attack Netero.

Based on this, Xiao Yapu determined the threat level of Netero, and alarm bells rang in his mind. He immediately flew towards the third floor of the palace.

at the same time.

Zeno unleashed the maximum power of its circle. The pale green coil, like a scanner, swiftly traversed the central area of ​​the entire palace, sensing the locations of the Ant King and Neferpitou.

After completing the reconnaissance mission, Zeno turned his head to look at Netero and gestured with his eyes in the direction.

Netero instantly understood and looked towards the third floor of the palace.

The commotion caused by Long Xingyu and the Hundred Style Guanyin, coupled with Zeno's merciless circle.

The Ant King and Neferpitou, who were on the third floor of the palace, could not possibly remain unresponsive.

But even as Neferpitou realized the threat was looming, he still focused his attention on treating the King Ant.

Her idea is simple.

Even if the attacker could appear at any moment, she cannot panic and waste "every second" of treatment time.

"king?"

Neferpitou remained focused on the treatment, but was stunned to see the Ant King once again ignore the Toy Repairer's surgical robotic arm operating with high precision, and get up to head towards Theta.

Wang is going to find wheat...

No, I wanted to check on the safety of the wheat.

Neferpitou's initial doubts about the King Ant's sudden abandonment of treatment were quickly replaced by further speculation.

But she is different from Xiaoyapf.

Upon realizing the King Ant's intentions, Neferpitou immediately cooperated.

For her, whatever the Ant King wanted or did, as his direct bodyguard, all she needed to do was to fulfill his every wish.

Apart from that, there is no need for any other meaningless thoughts.

So she tried her best to maintain synchronization with the Ant King while manipulating the Toy Repairer, thus enabling her to perform high-precision surgery while moving.

The King Ant glanced at Neferpitou, still not paying much attention to the toy repairman who had come with him, and suddenly increased his speed, arriving at the open-air balcony facing the West Tower.

What came into view was the West Tower, which was half collapsed.

"Neferbitt".

The ant king's eyes changed slightly.

Neferpitou detected a hint of anxiety in the King Ant's tone for the first time.

This made her instantly understand once again what the Ant King needed her to do.

It's still because of wheat.

So Neferpitou removed the Toy Repairer's abilities before the King Ant gave the exact order.

Admittedly, from her perspective, she would place great importance on the toy repairman's treatment of the Ant King.

But the king ant's orders will supersede everything.

"We found the wheat."

As soon as the Ant King gave the order, Neferpitou, which had already been prepared, immediately released the circle, which instantly enveloped the entire palace.

Netero and Zeno, along with Oyapuf, were rushing towards this side.

Neferpitou also instantly grasped the movements of the numerous intruders on the first floor of the palace.

But wheat was conspicuously absent.

"The wheat isn't here."

Neferpitou met the gaze of the Ant King and gave an immediate answer.

The ant king paused for a moment, as if he understood something.

next moment.

A thick, powerful aura erupted from him, instantly engulfing the entire palace.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
