Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 405 You've chosen the wrong opponent, Oyapuv.

Zeno witnessed Morrow's transformation.

The astonishing scale of his manifested energy was already slightly stronger than his.

But what was even more astonishing was that attack that emitted energy.

As a fellow Emission type, Zeno possesses decades of experience.

In that fleeting glimpse, he sensed an almost unparalleled level of skill from the psychic bullet that shattered most of Xiao Yapuf's head.

Energy conversion rate, stability, speed, power, accuracy...

Impeccable.

Even if he were to play at his peak, he might not be able to do better than Morrow.

Within the family, unless it's a major issue, Zeno always maintains a neutral stance and mostly remains indifferent.

However, in the previous matter involving Kurt, his grandfather Maha had also personally intervened...

Zeno had paid some attention to Moro's strength at the time.

This is the fundamental reason why he can't help but marvel at how far Moro has come to be.

Genius monster, nothing more.

"Let Kurt go with him, then there's no need to worry about it anymore."

Zeno withdrew his gaze, ignoring the mad aura emanating from Xiao Yapufu not far away. He slowly put his hands behind his back, like an old man taking a stroll in the park.

"However, Grandpa saw his potential back then..."

Thinking of this, Zeno shook his head slightly and leaped to the ground.

His mission was complete, and in order to send Netero and the Ant King away, he only had one-third of his manifested energy left, so he didn't have the extra energy to continue joining in the fun.

Leaving now is the best option.

As for Kal't, who also participated in the battle...

Moro's Nen blast just now was enough to reassure Zeno.

Taking advantage of the fact that Owlapf's attention was focused on Morrow, Zeno made a quick getaway.

Despite his intense emotional turmoil, Xyapuf did not ignore Zeno's attempt to leave.

However, when facing a human expert like Moro, he had no energy left to take care of Zeno, especially since he could see that Zeno was determined to leave the battlefield.

Then let Zeno leave.

At this moment, Xiao Yapuf had only one thought in mind.

That is to tear Moro to pieces and make him into a delicious dish to welcome the king who will surely return in triumph!
chi chi...

Despite having most of his head shattered by the Nen bullet, Xiao Yapufu's head regenerated at an extremely fast speed.

This is all because his Nen ability has taken a different path.

In other words, it is a vow and constraint infused with the concept of sacrifice.

Essentially, the innate starting conditions for chimeric ants are unattainable for humans.

Therefore, given enough time, the Chimera Ants can build a powerful Nen system even without violating their oaths and constraints.

However, Moro put a lot of pressure on Shayapuf, which led him to turn to Oaths and Constraints in order to develop even more powerful abilities in a short period of time.

Now, once he uses his "clones" to parasitize a target, he cannot retrieve them.

This means that he loses some cells for every target he parasitizes.

For him, cells were equivalent to lifespan.

Every penny spent reduces the total.

However, the clones he possesses can also act as switches to squeeze life force, thus allowing his control over the target to achieve a qualitative leap.

Similarly, when cell loss is equated to lifespan, it means that his "blood volume" is linked to the total number of cells.

Simply put, he now needs to expend health points when using his Nen abilities.

Therefore, even if most of the head is destroyed, it can still gain the ability of "super regeneration" by sacrificing a large amount of lifespan.

This is one of the results of implementing the concept of sacrifice.

Moro was somewhat surprised to see that most of Xiao Yapuf's head had been restored to its original state.

From his perspective, the deceptive flying star just now was attacking Xiao Yapuf under the guidance of the star marker.

Therefore, he can be certain that this Xiao Yapov is the original body.

So after destroying most of the main body's head, it should be able to instantly kill the opponent.

Unexpectedly, the regeneration and restoration ability, which could only work on the "Fly King's clone," can now be applied to the main body as well.

"Has its ability evolved...?"

Moro quickly considered this possibility.

However, unlike Yupi, Shayapuf's body contains a large amount of monster genes.

Therefore, achieving this super-regenerative capability on the basis of the organism must come at a severe cost.

Having anticipated this, Moro didn't feel there was anything to be afraid of after witnessing the changes in Shayapouf's abilities.

In comparison, Yupi's explosive power and the super regenerative recovery effect brought about by his bio-mutation ability are the most troublesome combination.

In other words, Morrow was able to completely bypass Yopi's super regeneration ability and unfathomable potential by relying on the "Wildfire" finishing move...

Otherwise, even if Niterói were to play, he would only be worn down by Upi.

It can be said that among the entire expeditionary force, only Moro was capable of defeating Yupi.

While Shayapov also possesses this ability, if his direct offensive power is insufficient, there's nothing to worry about.

Even if it's a war of attrition...

As long as the pressure of direct combat is not too great, Morrow can rely entirely on his operational skills to continuously gain the upper hand.

“The star mark will not disappear because of the destruction and regeneration of the ‘physical body’; only the ability to eliminate Nen can do that.”

Moro muttered to himself, and before Xiao Yapuf could make a move, he once again condensed a fluorescent green aura in his palm.

Why did you risk your life to kill Yupi during the retreat when you were attacking the ant nest?
Besides not wanting to reveal information about his abilities, he was also worried that the sparks burning on Yupi's body would make Shayapouf or Neferpitou crave the ability to exorcise Nen.

It was precisely because Moro had a clear mind and tried to avoid this possibility that the star mark implanted on his direct guards was able to exert its maximum effect in battle.

On the open-air balcony on the west side of the palace.

After recovering from his injuries, Xiao Yapu naturally noticed Moro's energy gathering action immediately.

Judging from the nature of his abilities, in order to avoid being worn down by Moro's constant kiting tactics, he should have closed in as quickly as possible.

However, he did not do that, but instead looked down at Neferpitou.

The king's departure is a foregone conclusion.

Since he and Neferpitou, as the king's direct guards, could not accompany him, they decided to eliminate the intruders from the palace.

Driven by his remaining rationality, Xiao Yapuf instructed, "Nefippit, you handle the other invaders. I know your 'puppet manipulation ability' has limitations, so I won't use those fully hatched soldiers. That should be enough for you."

"I can handle those intruders on the first floor without the puppets, but you..."

Neferpitou looked up at Owl Yapf, whose expression was slightly distorted, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you confident in dealing with that human?"

"Neferpitou, are you looking down on me?"

Oyapuf turned his attention back to Morrow, glancing at Neferpitou only out of the corner of his eye.

Even with just a glance, he clearly conveyed a cold and stern look to Nefertiti.

Neferpitou said expressionlessly, "In terms of combat strength, it would be best if I dealt with that human, while you take charge of the intruders on the first floor."

"Humph."

Xiao Yapuv snorted coldly.

"Just do what you're supposed to do, and mind your own business."

Owlapf didn't even bother to say a word to Neferbitt. After uttering this cold and harsh remark, he suddenly flapped his wings and flew towards Morrow.

At the same time, it also mobilized many victims who were parasitized by the cell clones.

By the time Xiao Yapuf made his move, Moro had already completed gathering his energy.

Because Xiao Yapov did not put pressure on him immediately, he had ample time to inject more Nen into the Deception Star.

Then, a shooting star containing astonishing power tore through the gray sky and flew straight toward Xiaoyapf with great momentum.

Moro wanted to use this attack to gain more information about Shayapov's resurrection ability.

Even if he couldn't achieve his goal, this attack, infused with immense Nen, would still be enough to severely injure Shayapov.

If the cost, which is not yet clearly defined, is related to the degree of injury.

Therefore, the locking ability of the star markers will bring greater benefits to Moro's flying star attacks. Facing this overwhelming flying star attack, Xiao Yapufu sneered inwardly.

During those half-hours he was considering his ability to expand, how could he ignore the effects of Morrow's guidance ability?

Although it is impossible to master the skill of completely removing the negative effects of abilities from oneself in a short period of time.

But that doesn’t mean he’s powerless to do anything about it.

Suddenly, Oyapuf detached his true form, maintaining only the size of a bee.

This is the smallest volume and also the lowest consumption.

Then, the bee-sized creature, carrying the star, flew higher into the sky.

The flying star released by Moro could only suddenly change direction and follow the star marker.

Boom!

The flying star struck the main body of the star-bearer, Oyapov, from a higher position, suddenly triggering a violent explosion.

Seeing this, Moro's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at the figure in front of him, which should have been a clone, Ooyapuf.

"The evolved ability still distinguishes between the main body and the clone, but the main body is immune to fatal damage... Or perhaps he has mastered the ability to temporarily remove the star mark using the clone?"

Moro's mind raced, and he quickly came to a conclusion.

The star is not separated from the clone.

The bee-like owl Yapf from earlier was indeed the real body.

The basis for this judgment is that he knows one of the mechanisms of the "Fly King's" ability is that the real body of Shayapouf must be at least the size of a bee.

Based on this existing intelligence, Morrow is more inclined to believe that Shayapuf used some kind of constraint in exchange for his main body and clones possessing the same oath ability to be immune to lethal damage.

One reason for this evolution and improvement in ability is definitely to counter his flying star locking ability.

Although Shayapof sacrificed a bee cell to replace the deceptive Flying Star that Morrow had injected with a large amount of Nen, Morrow immediately realized the extent of his abilities.

Completely unaware of this, Xiao Yapuf, after gaining a huge advantage in this round of combat, couldn't help but laugh wildly.

"Hahaha, your 'guidance capabilities' have lost their value!!!"

In a protracted battle, given the nature of Shayapof's current abilities, he could completely overwhelm Moro.

As for the reason,

It is because of the fact that Shayapuf can create a combat capability that is more durable than anyone else by consuming both "health bar" and "mana bar".

Moreover, this move can also be used to seal Moro's Star Locking ability.

Then, by utilizing the explosive power of the victims, Moro's Nen consumption rate can be greatly accelerated.

Victory will become incredibly easy.

"Hahaha, you now..."

As he controlled the numerous victims to gather around, Xiao Yapufu pointed at Moro and sneered, "There's absolutely no chance of winning!"

"..."

Faced with Yapf's confident declaration of victory, Moro remained silent.

He silently withdrew the second Deception Star that had condensed in his palm, glancing at the puppet soldiers rushing in from all directions.

This must be another improvement to Shayapov's abilities.

Compared to the suggestive hypnotic ability based on scales, which is detrimental to combat, the forced manipulation ability is certainly more brutal and powerful.

The Star Lock-On ability, which should have been able to directly target the target, was specifically blocked by Shayapov.

Although it's still uncertain how much price Juyapof paid for this...

But no matter what, it was he who caused these changes in Xiao Yapuf.

"Pom, Pence, I need to ask you a favor."

Ignoring the approaching victims, Moreau spoke directly with Pampons in the dimensional room through Kurt's telepathic paper doll.

Then, from another radio-accompanied paper figure, Pam's voice rang out: "What is it?"

Can your crystal ball 'replay images'?

Moro, however, asked a question in return.

"what!"

Pum was immediately embarrassed.

In order to satisfy the voyeuristic desire to the fullest extent, and to savor the experience more deeply...

The crystal ball could indeed replay images, but this had always been her secret.

"Yes, that's fine."

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Pum revealed the secret.

Upon hearing this, Moro's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly said, "Help me pull up the footage of Chairman Netero and Zeno entering the arena."

"Row."

Pum understood that every second counted on the battlefield, and immediately and decisively responded to Morrow's request.

Through Pence's "classmate" ability, Moreau directly saw the crystal ball that was displaying the image.

At that moment, the victims, brimming with power, pounced on Moro in a frenzied manner.

As the distance shortened, their energy suddenly surged, and the speed and power they displayed when pouncing became even more ferocious.

"Ok?"

Moro made a quick decision, abandoning the idea of ​​using the explosive force of the Star Leap to take off, and instead adopted the Blitzkrieg ability with a faster response speed.

Swish!
Moro vanished into thin air.

The next instant, it appeared a hundred meters away.

Moro glanced at the group of victims who had missed their target, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

In his field of vision, the footage of Netero swatting away numerous victims was playing simultaneously.

I see……

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Moro couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He was able to specifically target and defeat monsters like Yupi, even those of higher levels, because he had formulated clear strategies and policies.

There are also specially prepared strategies to deal with Xiao Yapufu.

That is, it was clear from the very beginning...

By using the locking mechanism of Flying Star, the upper limit of Shayapov's manifest energy is continuously weakened until the moment when "Flying Star Power" can kill Shayapov arrives.

Based on this strategy, Moro was 100% confident that he could take down Oyapuf.

The only problem is...

The weakening of the revealed maximum energy capacity of the Ooyapuf will likely affect the experience gain.

This possibility is extremely high.

However, Moro was also mentally prepared.

Compared to the gains in experience, ensuring that we can take down Xyapuf is relatively more important.

Unexpectedly, the changes in Shayapov's abilities showed Moro another possibility.

This made him laugh out loud.

"What...are you laughing at!?"

When Xiao Yapu saw Moro suddenly burst into laughter, he was taken aback.

He admitted that Moreau was also a smart man.

Therefore, we should be able to see the situation more clearly in the future.

In terms of chances of winning, he is absolutely certain to win!

I was sure that Morrow would see this.

"nothing."

Moro slowly stopped laughing and said calmly, "Your 'change' has surprised me greatly, but unfortunately... you've chosen the wrong opponent."

"?"

Xiao Yapu frowned.
