Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 422 Instantly Kills Hisoka (Bonus Chapter for 9000 Monthly Tickets)
The initial decision to get involved in the Chimera Ant incident was to take advantage of this opportunity to raise my level to that of a world-class expert.

Then find an opportunity to compare and target Yang De.

And we hope that Chairman Netero will survive this incident.

In this way, they can continue to restrain Yang De's secret plans.

"I'm level 97 now. If I go back and do it again, I should be able to reach level 100 in one go. Maybe I'll activate a new mechanism then, or maybe I can spread my 'ability' to other offline players like Melina did."

Moro slowly suppressed his killing intent, calculating in his mind.

After reaching level 90, leveling up becomes incredibly difficult.

However, correspondingly, Moro could clearly sense the obvious changes as his level approached its peak.

The increase in spiritual power was obvious, giving Moro a vague sense of omnipotence and a feeling of ease in controlling his spiritual power.

In addition, the cooldown time of Blitz has been continuously improved and reduced, and even the cost has been significantly reduced.

I wonder what changes will occur after reaching Lv.100.

Anyway, this time, going back and starting over makes it relatively easy to reach Lv.100.

"Let's first take a look at the abilities imprinted by the 'growth rings'..."

With a slight thought, Moro sank his consciousness deep into the depths and began to receive the ability information from Neferpitou.

This retrospective imprint is somewhat special.

It records not the opponent's normal abilities, but the version enhanced by death.

Therefore, in terms of accuracy and quality, it is entirely possible to surpass the original.

More importantly, the abilities etched by the growth rings can be fine-tuned and evolved according to Moro's own conscious needs.

In fact, when he fought Netero before, Moro realized that in order to defeat a being like the Hundred-Style Kannon on a higher level, he was still missing the last piece of the puzzle.

A key piece of the puzzle that leads to becoming the "world's strongest".

He believed at the time that the ideal condition was an ability similar to Killua's "Swift Wind and Lightning," which could drive the body to react to enemies at a speed beyond thought.

This allows one to combine the power of starlight to achieve the ultimate balance between offense and defense.

Neferpitou's Kuroko Masashi is actually a similar type of ability.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to use it to fill this last gap.

Moreover, Mai Kuroko's focus on the control system makes her a perfect fit in terms of personality.

However, Moro was not fixated on this.

For him, as long as he can reach level 100, the specific ability system he builds is secondary.

Because based solely on his current ability system built around "Emission System - Extreme" and "Manipulation System - Extreme," as long as he maintains the necessary physical condition of manifesting aura, he can still secure a place at the top of the world.

More accurately, by virtue of his absolute advantage in manifesting his aura, he can, in a sense, reach the level of "Enhancement Type - Extreme".

This is equivalent to the limit of the three systems in the Mountain Character Cultivation Method.

So it doesn't matter to Moro whichever outcome it leads to.

However, after this death rewind, from all aspects, it can simultaneously accelerate his progress in reaching Lv.100 and finding the last piece of the ability puzzle.

Morona's latent needs deep within her consciousness and the information about Kuroko Mai's abilities, enhanced by death, merged at this moment.

He was so engrossed in it that he completely forgot himself.

As a result, Hisoka, who had just taken the initiative to greet him, was completely ignored by him.

Hisoka, whether he was already used to Moro's attitude or simply didn't care, didn't get angry.

After all, this time, Moro readily gave him the address for the meeting.

This positive response was enough to make Hisoka happy and excited.

At this moment, Hisoka slowly walked around Moro, who was standing still like a statue, with his head down in deep thought.

Their intrigued gaze fell upon that completely unfamiliar face.

Appearance and physique.

They are all completely different from Moro.

But Hisoka was certain that the person in front of him was Moro.

Hisoka actually sensed something was off.

It must have been at the moment the train started moving, carrying the girl with the cane away.

As Moro was saying goodbye to the girl, something subtle seemed to quietly arise within him in that instant.

Hisoka didn't know how to describe the sense of unease that he could perceive with the naked eye.

Moreover, that sense of unease appeared suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly as Moro lowered his head to ponder.

Hisoka was pretty sure that Moro had heard his voice just now.

However, judging from the current reaction, most people probably think that responding to him immediately is far less important than something else they are thinking about.

"You wouldn't... be deliberately ignoring me like this, would you?"

Hisoka finally couldn't resist and moved his face closer.

Just then, Moro seemed to have finished thinking.

He raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping indifferently over Hisoka's face, which was so close to his own.

"follow me."

With that one sentence, Moro turned and strode out of the train station.

As he walked, he casually removed the disguise effect of his biological mutation, restoring his original appearance.

Hisoka watched his retreating figure, a strange glint in his eyes.

"really interesting."

The sense of unease that I had sensed earlier became even more pronounced in the look in Moro's eyes just now.

However, he did not delve into the matter, but instead focused more on Moro's action, which was tantamount to accepting the challenge.

The two walked out of the train station one after the other.

Except for the capital and a few other cities, most areas of the Republic of East Godot are underdeveloped and have infertile land.

Although the town they are currently in has a train station, its urban construction is chaotic, with buildings of varying heights forming a crowded and disorderly landscape.

Moro stopped in front of a wasteland, turned his back to Hisoka, and looked at the densely built area in the distance.

"What I originally wanted to say was... that although I gave you the address to meet, it doesn't mean I accepted your challenge."

He glanced back at Hisoka as he spoke.

At this moment, the face painted with tear-streaked makeup revealed an undisguised hunger.

That was a pure desire for fighting and slaughter.

Hisoka stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his lips, then squinted and asked, "So now, have you changed your mind?"

"Yes."

Moro turned back and looked again at the cluster of low, densely packed buildings, speaking calmly:
"I just think about how much you've helped me before, and how you've come all this way... so when I think about what you'll be facing later, I can't help but feel a little apologetic towards you."

"apology?"

A flicker of emotion crossed Hisoka's eyes, and the languidness in his tone vanished instantly: "You really do look down on me as always." "Interpret it however you like."

Moro pointed to the building area and said calmly, "You never learn your lesson. This is the last time. Let me help you choose a location. It's in there, and it matches your abilities perfectly."

"..."

Hisoka silently gazed at the chaotic city area and immediately understood Moro's intention in bringing him here.

This is still a form of disrespect.

"May I offer a friendly reminder?"

Hisoka flipped a Joker card between his fingers, his gaze falling on Moro's retreating figure.

Moro turned around, meeting his slightly restrained gaze, and said, "I'm listening."

"Heh, I was 'lucky' enough to have a near-death experience a while ago, and thanks to that experience, I've become stronger."

Hisoka raised a slight smile and said seriously, "I want to remind you that my abilities are different now."

"New ability?"

Moro's expression remained unchanged, his face still calm.

Hisoka narrowed his eyes again and said, "You can interpret it this way: this is a thank you for thoughtfully choosing the venue, and it also saves you from having an 'how could this be?' expression when you lose."

"Oh, thank you."

Moro nodded and walked straight towards the city.

"Let's go, I'm in a hurry."

"..."

Hisoka noticed Moro's reaction, raised an eyebrow, and muttered to himself, "Not interested? No problem, I'll get you excited soon enough."

The two were not far apart.

Moro could naturally hear Hisoka's somewhat impatient words.

Are you excited?
That's probably not realistic.

We could try using Hisoka to test the fusion ability of "Starlight Condensation" and "Kuroko's Dance".

Moro thought to himself.

Soon, the two stepped into this chaotic building area.

Due to Diego's nationwide mobilization order, most of the residents here have already taken the train to the capital, Peijing. The surroundings are deathly silent, and not a sound can be heard.

Moro and Sisso stood facing each other about fifty meters apart in a fairly wide alley.

On both sides are houses of varying heights and piles of debris, while overhead power lines crisscross, cutting the sky into fragments.

"can we start?"

Hisoka held several playing cards in each hand, his tone revealing his eagerness.

Moro nodded slightly, then released his Nen to the maximum extent without reservation.

In an instant, a surge of pale red energy erupted from his body, creating a strong wind with just the energy fluctuations, scattering the surrounding debris in all directions.

What's even more striking is that the shockwave was mixed with wisps of black spiritual energy, as thin as electric arcs.

That is a characteristic of thoughts after death.

After Moreau etched Neferpitou's thoughts, strengthened by death, into the rings of his tree, this quality began to manifest in his very being.

Even without the presence of these black arcs of death energy, the sheer scale of Nen energy at this moment is enough to completely overturn Hisoka's previous preconceived notions.

Admittedly...

On the path to becoming powerful, everyone is running at full speed.

Therefore, after Hisoka became stronger after experiencing near-death, he was also mentally prepared for Moro to go even further.

But as this powerful aura swept in, Hisoka's face showed a rare look of astonishment.

This is no longer "one step".

Hisoka's astonishment lasted only a moment before a strong sense of crisis was poured over him like ice water.

He immediately decided to adopt an offensive strategy instead of a defensive one.

But in the blink of an eye, the familiar yet unfamiliar dazzling starlight had already enveloped them, moving at an astonishing speed.

Moreover, among those countless stars, there were countless red thought threads as thin as hair, connecting and intertwining them.

"New ability?"

Hisoka inexplicably recalled the calm expression on Moro's face when he asked the question earlier.

A strange feeling arose suddenly, but his focus on the battle was not affected in the slightest. On the contrary, it rose to its peak under that indescribable pressure.

however--

The instant Moro turned from stillness,

Even with his full concentration, Hisoka could only catch a fleeting red afterimage in his field of vision.

This is not teleportation ability, but pure explosive power.

Hisoka tried to predict the trajectory by the flow of Nen for a moment, but the dense stars connected by red lines around him acted like some kind of signal jammer, completely disrupting his perception.

In the nick of time, he could only rubberize his body and simultaneously unleash all of the hundreds of playing cards, which were concealed on his body with a thin, ethereal appearance, forward with all his might.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…!
Hundreds of playing cards burst forth like a metallic storm, instantly sealing off every inch of space in the alley.

But an even more unbelievable thing happened.

Moro seemed to be able to perceive every playing card instantly without needing to think, thus triggering conditioned reflexes in all parts of his body.

Thus, under the influence of his bio-mutation ability, he moved like a loach, like a pale red streak of light, through the hundreds of playing cards that should have sealed off the entire alleyway.

This is the synergistic result of the convergence of starlight and the dance of black dots.

When information reading and analysis bypasses the brain and connects directly to the body, more offensive time can be gained between defense.

Moro passed through the hundreds of playing cards and instantly appeared beside Hisoka, delivering a swift and powerful attack.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in your 'new ability,' so I won't bother trying."

Before Hisoka lost consciousness after being struck, he clearly heard Moro's words.

original……

The gap has reached such a desperate level.

Before his consciousness was swallowed by darkness, Hisoka couldn't even imagine how Moro had done it.

He just thought...

In the end, Moro still couldn't have his fill.

Faced with this result...

He became completely impotent.

There was no driving force left.
