Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 434 Yang De's Killing Intent (Bonus Chapter for 11 Monthly Tickets)
The king is invincible and unique.

The birth of the king is based on the instinctive aspiration of all ants and is also the result of the selfless dedication of all ants.

Therefore, King...

They are destined to stand at the pinnacle of life and become the rulers of the world.

Xiao Yapuv firmly believed this.

But all of this understanding vanished at this moment.

Yapf collapsed to his knees, utterly dejected, his spine seemingly unable to support him, and with a heart filled with despair, he barely managed to prop himself up on the water's surface with his hands.

It has lost all "meaning".

He exuded an aura of decay.

Seeing this, Moro casually flicked his wrist, suppressing Xiao Yapuf's consciousness avatar deep into the black water.

The direct guards possessed extremely strong mental power, especially when it came to the Ant King, their death rage was incredibly powerful.

For Moro, this was certainly a lucrative gain, but it also brought corresponding risks.

After absorbing a large amount of death thoughts, he found it difficult to completely digest the residual power of consciousness within, and could only temporarily deal with it by suppression.

This inevitably created some hidden dangers.

Ultimately, it's because the emotional bond between the direct guards and the Ant King far exceeds what is common sense.

This can be seen from the intense aggression that Neferpitou and Ooyapov displayed in the consciousness space.

However, by bringing forth the avatar of the Ant King's consciousness, this obsession can be dismantled at its root, and the hidden danger can be completely weakened.

Moro watched calmly as Xiao Yapuf sank into the black water.

Beside him, the King Ant showed no reaction to the result.

From the moment he died...

Everything concerning the "ant tribe" is over.

The deaths of Neferpitou and Shayapouf only brought this all to an end more completely.

When will you fulfill your promise?

The Ant King looked at Moro's profile and asked a question.

Moro looked at the ripples spreading from the spot where Xiao Yapuf had sunk and said, "There is still one thing left unfinished."

"What's the matter?"

The ant king asked again.

Moro turned his gaze to the Ant King's face, which held a hint of urgency, and calmly said, "Wait until I've dealt with those fleshy eggs in Midgard."

"..."

The ant king was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He overlooked the military reserves in the central courtyard that served as the starting point for conquering the world.

Now that Neferpitou and Shayapouf have died one after another, it is indeed impossible for the human side to let these chimera soldiers hatch smoothly.

"Row."

The ant king nodded slightly.

After a while.

Moro exited the consciousness space.

From the perspective of the Ant King, who is placed in the human's shoes, those fleshy eggs in the Midgard definitely need to be dealt with.

Eliminating the chimera soldiers before hatching is the most reasonable option for the human side.

After all, once these soldiers hatch, they will become a considerable threat with the help of Nen abilities.

Moreover, there were simply too many of them.

However, the ant king's understanding of humans was ultimately too superficial.

He had no idea that if these flesh eggs fell into Pariston's hands, he would not destroy them, but would inevitably choose to hatch them.

Even a behemoth like the V5, upon noticing the military potential of these eggs, would not choose to simply dispose of them.

They will do everything they can to convert it into their own armed forces.

Destruction will only be considered when it is determined that the situation is beyond control.

In other words, when tangible benefits are presented, human greed and desire become the strongest driving force for hatching these fleshy eggs.

In a sense, humans and chimeric ants are no different.

It could even be said that humans are more cruel than chimeric ants.

The chimeric ants' demands and plundering are mostly driven by their instinctive craving for food and their pure pursuit of racial evolution.

Their behavior was straightforward and primal, and their motives were obvious.

But humans are different.

They are adept at using various names and means to cover up their illicit and plundering nature, giving it a veneer of legitimacy.

Therefore, even though the individual strength of the Chimera Ant is indeed unfathomable, it can never defeat the unfathomable malice of humanity.

Moro told the King Ant that he wanted to deal with the batch of flesh eggs, but the method of disposal was not as simple as the King Ant thought.

The benefits are right in front of us.

Without harming others, Moro had no reason to refuse.

So what he needs to do is not to remove the chimeric soldiers from the fleshy eggs before they hatch.

Instead, you have to wait for the chimera soldiers to hatch before killing them to gain experience points.

In terms of this approach, how is it any different from that of those who are blinded by greed...?

it is not important.

For Moro, it's about identifying the goal and achieving it.

That's it.

However, Moro needs Nob's help with the hatching of the chimera soldiers.

He planned to use Nob's four-dimensional apartment to temporarily store this batch of flesh eggs.

After the eggs hatched in the apartment room, he went in and cleaned them up one by one.

As for the space in the four-dimensional apartment, there are four floors with a total of twenty-one rooms. Excluding one room specifically used to store important items, there are still twenty rooms.

With so many rooms, storing several thousand meat eggs should be enough.

Then, Mo Laowu and his group came to Mo Luo.

Just as Morro was absorbing Owl Yapf's death intent, Nob, who was in the Fourth Dimension Apartment, conveyed the news that the extermination battle had successfully ended.

The last bit of tension in everyone's hearts dissipated.

Mo Laowu glanced at the corpses of his clones scattered all around him, then his gaze hesitated slightly before landing on Moro. Finally, just like before, he couldn't help but ask, "Moro, are you... alright?"

"What can happen?"

Moro chuckled and countered with a question.

Mo Laowu was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh.

He could defeat even a monster like the Ant King, so what could possibly make him worry about Moro?

"Let's think about what to drink at the victory celebration!"

"If Master is treating, I think... we can choose something a little more expensive."

"That makes sense. Let's start by considering fine wines worth tens of millions!"

Nakuru and Xiutuo huddled together, already seriously discussing their choices when clinking glasses.

Seeing this, Ge Laqiang immediately joined the discussion, hoping to take this opportunity to make Mo Laowu bleed a lot of money.

The group spoke without any restraint, and their voices were anything but quiet.

Mo Laowu, who was standing to the side, opened his mouth, but in the end he just smiled and shook his head, letting them decide on the wine list for the celebration banquet.

Moro glanced at Nakulu and his group, who were already studying the multi-million dollar wine with great interest and even emitting strange cackling laughter. When he looked away, he happened to make eye contact with Moro Wu.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and both unconsciously revealed a smile.

Not far away, Galu stared at the unharmed Moro, and couldn't help but recall the snake-like spirit beast that had existed in the form of a spirit after death, which had also been so easily neutralized by the other party.

Recalling the scene when she first met Moro several years ago, she felt that Moro not only had unfathomable strength, but was also surrounded by an elusive and mysterious aura.

Her gaze did not last long.

Because Mencius and Kurt quickly stepped forward, blocking her view. The two surrounded Moreau, carefully questioning her and checking her for injuries.

This action made the burly Mo Laowu seem somewhat superfluous.

He touched his nose, took a few steps back, and made room for Moro next to him.

Shortly after, Nobu arrived at the scene and took everyone back to the 4D Apartment.

The campaign ended successfully with zero casualties, a resounding victory.

However, when the members of the expedition team entered the dimensional room where the medical team was located and saw Netero's withered body, the joy of victory was instantly replaced by solemnity.

"How could the president have become like this?"

Gailu's voice was filled with undisguised worry.

The doctor in the white coat, who was closely monitoring the medical equipment, replied briefly: "Excessive physical and mental exhaustion."

"Can it be restored?"

Mo Laowu asked the most important question.

The doctor in the white coat thought for a moment and replied, "With current 'conventional medical methods,' it's difficult to fully recover. However, with proper care and recuperation, it shouldn't be a problem to recover to about 70-80%, and there's no need to worry about any lasting effects."

"Yeah……"

Mo Laowu responded in a low voice, his gaze turning to Nitero, who was receiving intravenous nutrition on the hospital bed.

Netero's eyes were closed and his breathing was steady, as if he was focused on some kind of deep meditation, so he did not pay attention to the arrival of the crowd.

He didn't really care about the doctor's judgment, and he had no intention of accepting that slow recuperation plan.

Conventional medical methods were indeed helpless in this regard, but his old friend, the gourmet hunter, had his own way of helping him regain his strength and physical condition as soon as possible.

Once he has fully recovered, Netero's first task is to make Morrow fulfill one of the conditions he set when he handed over the King of the Ants: a real duel between them.

However, before that, as the president of the Hunter Association and the person in charge of this operation, he also had to organize forces to deal with the Chimera Ants that had escaped from the encirclement.

Furthermore, although the extermination team successfully eliminated the threat from the Ant King and his direct guards, the lingering effects of the failed encirclement and suppression are probably not something that can be resolved simply by making amends.

V5 will likely demand that the Hunter Association bear primary responsibility for this matter.

Nitero, on the other hand, was mentally prepared for this.

Mo Laowu and the others did not disturb Netero's deep meditation.

They could also hear the doctor's implication that he was emphasizing routine medical procedures, which eased their initial worries.

Even without using Nen abilities, Chairman Netero's body can recover most of its strength through slow recuperation.

Therefore, the situation does not seem too serious.

the other side.

In a corner of the room, Moro made a request to Nob to collect the flesh eggs.

Faced with this seemingly unnecessary request, Nob asked bluntly, "Why wait for them to hatch? Isn't it less risky to deal with them now?"

"Consider it my personal reason."

Moro gave a half-true, half-false reason: "I want to use them to further refine the effects of 'Starburst'."

Although the combination of Starlight Condensation and Black Dots Dance is already very strong, dealing with a large number of Chimera Soldiers at once is indeed an effective way to hone one's skills.

"..."

Norb fell into a brief silence, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to.

He was thinking, "Your skills are already so exceptional, yet you're not even willing to let go of this kind of training opportunity?"
Furthermore, rather than this kind of training, shouldn't he be more worried about whether Moro might accidentally destroy the four-dimensional apartment?

However, since it was Moro's request, he would cooperate fully.

He would never hesitate to go to great lengths to make a spare key for Morrot, even if it was just for convenience.

This is both an acknowledgment of Moro's abilities and a way of making amends for his past attitude.

He admitted that he had spoken too loudly to Moro back then.

At the same time that Moro was planning how to maximize the use of these eggs.

Faced with the failure of the Stone Wall Squad's sniping attempt and the fact that the extermination team had perfectly eliminated the Ant King and his direct guards, Pariston had no choice but to order the airship fleet to retreat.

Those eggs that he had his eye on had no choice but to give up.

Pariston then reported the failure of the plan to Bynd, who was far away in Kakin.

"Failed..."

A surprised voice came from the other end of the communication: "I should assume that the success rate of this plan was as high as 99.9% when it was being devised, right?"

"Yes."

Pariston said in a somber tone, "Unfortunately, Morrow, who took the initiative to intervene in this incident, happens to be that 0.1%."

"..."

Silence fell on the other end of the communication line, followed by a soft sigh.

Pariston rarely heard Bjorn sigh.

He could roughly guess that Bynd's current reaction was probably regret for not being able to save Moro's life back then.

Feeling frustrated about something is not Yang De's style either.

This plan is just too important, so important that... there can be no mistakes.

But now that we've failed, we have to consider other ways to remedy the situation.

Seeing a long silence on the other end of the communication, Pariston suddenly spoke:

"Although the extermination team successfully defeated the Ant King, we can make a big deal out of the previous failure of the encirclement and suppression operation. If we operate properly, it is not impossible to force Chairman Netero to step down."

At the time, he strongly intervened in the personnel deployment arrangements for the encirclement and suppression operation in order to make more preparations.

However, he didn't think this preparation would be useful at the time.

As BYD just said, a 99.9% success rate for the plan is equivalent to Chairman Netero's mortality rate.

But I didn't expect...

This seemingly insignificant move actually plays a crucial role.

"not enough."

By Yangde's voice came through the communication terminal, brief and low.

Pariston's eyes flickered slightly; though he couldn't discern the emotion in the other person's words, he could understand their deeper meaning.

Simply removing Niterlo from power is not enough.

Because as long as the chairman lives, all the deployments that have already been put in place will be difficult to advance.

Moreover, compared to Yang De's current situation, it can be said that the arrow is on the bowstring and must be released.

Unless he has to bear the consequences of breaking his promise to the King of Kakin.

If that's the case, his meticulously planned scheme of several decades will be ruined in an instant.

Even the most magnanimous person could never accept such an ending.

Pariston immediately understood Bynd's current predicament, but still calmly offered a reminder:

"Although Jerome said he saw that the chairman's physical condition had deteriorated to an extreme degree, I still believe that it is almost impossible to kill the chairman by force without revealing his identity."

"Ah."

Byron readily agreed with Pariston's assessment, and then said in a calm tone devoid of any emotion, "So, I will do it myself."

"..."

This time, it was Pariston's turn to remain silent.

But a glimmer of light appeared in his deep, seemingly lifeless eyes.

Compared to methods such as hiring assassins, having Byrd personally end the chairman's life gave him a more genuine sense of pleasure.

As for why?

There is no particularly complicated reason.

For Pariston, whose mind was twisted, he simply believed that only such an ending was worthy of Netero's life.

Just thinking about this was enough to make him feel gratified and happy.

Perhaps when Pariston calmly reminded Byrd earlier, he was already hoping that Byrd would make this choice.

Is this considered inducement?

Pariston disagreed.
