Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 437 The Shocked Bisky
The chimeric ant infestation resulted in a death toll of up to 500,000.

As a result, the East Godot Republic has become a mere shell of its former self.

To prevent the situation from escalating further, international maintenance organizations quickly intervened.

Nevertheless, the chimeric ants that escaped from the NGL Autonomous Region still brought enormous negative impacts to human society.

Even though the international maintenance organizations involved immediately publicized that the chimera ants were a new type of monster species and defined the current situation in the East Godot Republic as an internal conflict, they still could not definitively conclude the matter.

Some out-of-control remarks and opinions began to spread quietly on the internet.

V5, which ordered the Hunter Association to deal with the incident, didn't care whether the Poor Man's Rose was blooming in East Godot.

Those in high positions only care about results.

As things stand, the Hunter Association has indeed eliminated the biggest threat, but due to oversight, some of the truth has been leaked to the public.

Not to mention, the remaining chimeric ants are still rampant in some areas...

Faced with this situation, the V5 official in charge of the matter naturally didn't give the Hunter Association a friendly look.

Pariston saw this and secretly fueled the flames.

He knew better than anyone that the Hunter Association and Chairman Netero were already bound together by fate, sharing both prosperity and adversity.

However, in order to force Chairman Netero into a situation where he could not avoid responsibility, Pariston disregarded the reputation that the Hunter Association had painstakingly built up over many years.

He wouldn't care even if the Hunter Association became a mess, or even if he had to take over that mess himself.

Pariston is that kind of person.

They did not care how much practical benefit it would bring to themselves.

He derives pleasure from making others unhappy.

Faced with Pariston's various overt and covert tactics, Netero, who had left flaws from the very beginning, naturally had no good countermeasures.

The crux of the matter is that he is indeed culpable.

Whether as the leader of this punitive operation or as the president of the association, he bears an unshirkable responsibility for the consequences of this incident.

But even if he eventually has to step down, he will never let Pariston take over the position of president easily.

When it comes to causing trouble for others, that's not just Pariston's specialty.

He is by no means inferior to Niterói.

Moro learned of Chairman Netero's current predicament from Bisky.

"Does the president enjoy it?"

In one of the rooms of the four-dimensional apartment, Moro glanced at Bisky and asked casually, clearly not caring much about Netero's current situation.

But Bisky caught a hint of something unusual in his seemingly casual tone, as if he were somewhat disappointed in him.

Her instinct was right.

Before the Chimera Ant incident, Moro had already advised Netero to deal with Pariston and Shenhou Xiyou, two troublesome individuals, first.

Even though the Hunter's Ten Commandments forbid harming fellow hunters from using overly drastic methods, they cannot do nothing and allow Pariston to continue causing trouble.

As a result, Nitero did not take any action on the matter.

This is the fundamental reason why Netero is in such a difficult situation.

Bisky's eyes were slightly strange as she said, "I don't know if the chairman is enjoying it, but he's definitely having a lot of trouble... Why do I feel like you're gloating a little?"

"Have it?"

Moro's reaction was lukewarm.

"..."

Seeing his reaction, Bisky wisely stopped pressing the matter and instead looked at the pile of Chimera Ant soldiers' corpses in the corner of the room, asking, "Why did you call me here in such a hurry? What important matter is it?"

"I'm going to the Dark Continent."

"Moro said calmly."

"what?"

Bisky was slightly taken aback, but then she remembered the scene when Kurapika risked everything to save Moro.

She was present at the time and naturally knew how heavy the price was.

So you want to invite me to come along?

Bisky instantly understood Morrow's intention, quickly suppressed her surprise, and raised an eyebrow to ask.

Moro nodded: "That's right. Although the Association considers everything about the Dark Continent taboo, Bisky, you must know something about it, right?"

“Generally.”

Biskey Road.

Moro looked at her and continued, "Then you should know very well how important Miss Cookie's abilities are in an environment like the Dark Continent where even rest is a luxury. That's why I need you."

The Dark Continent is fraught with danger and unpredictable.

Let alone a safe place to rest, even if you stay in one place for too long, the risks you face will definitely increase over time.

Therefore, in the process of exploring and searching for hope, Miss Cookie's ability to shorten "rest time" to half an hour becomes crucial.

In reality, Nob's four-dimensional apartment is practically a god-like ability to explore the Dark Continent.

Unfortunately, Nob had no interest in exploring the Dark Continent, nor even the slightest motivation to do so.

In the original story, the Hunter Association accepted Byondo's challenge to a duel on the Dark Continent.

Then, considering the storage and transportation of supplies, the Twelve Earthly Branches wanted Nob to accompany them, but he refused.

In the end, they had no choice but to settle for second best and find another member of the association with spatial abilities.

However, compared to Nob's four-dimensional apartment, that member's abilities were somewhat lacking.

If Moro can't get Nob, then having Miss Cookie's abilities can reduce the risk in that regard.

"Moreover, I believe there must be many undiscovered rare gems on the Dark Continent. If you, Bisky, are willing to travel with us, all the rare gems we find along the way will be yours."

After explaining the reason for the invitation, Moro immediately added a distribution agreement that was absolutely beneficial to Bisky.

If Bisky says she's not interested in the natural gemstones of the Dark Continent, then her two-star gem hunter title is just for show.

Even so, Bisky did not immediately accept the invitation, but calmly said:
"Putting aside whether you have obtained permission or not, even with the guild leader's peak strength in his youth, he could barely cross the threshold in a place like the Dark Continent."

The implication is that the Dark Continent is far more dangerous than imagined, and even someone as powerful as the Guild Master would find it difficult to venture deep into it.

"What if I said... I'm stronger than the president?"

"Moro said calmly."

"Pfft~"

Upon hearing this, Bisky couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.

She knew that Moro had made astonishing progress over the past few years, even reaching a first-class level.

Even so, they are still far from being a match for Netero.

Without explaining, Moro opened all the pores in his body, releasing an inhuman aura of up to Lv.104.

Instantly, a powerful and surging aura erupted from Moro, creating a violent gust of wind.

"Huh?!" Seeing the extraordinary aura emanating from Moro, Bisky couldn't hide her shock.

Moro, enveloped in an overwhelming aura, calmly extended his right hand to Bisky and said, "You can verify what I just said for yourself."

"..."

While Bisky was shocked, she couldn't help but have some thoughts of investigating further.

She nodded to Moro, and then opened all the pores in her body, releasing her maximum amount of manifest energy.

And without any reservations, it simply transforms back into its original muscular form.

Nevertheless, her magnanimity was clearly inferior to that of Moro.

"Take the move."

Bisky wanted to see what level Moro had reached, so she gave him a warning before launching her attack.

"The finishing touch"

She flashed in front of Moro and flicked her finger at his face with incredible speed, creating a turbulent current.

With his other hand, he made a hidden move, sweeping a punch towards Moro's side.

One overt and one covert close-range attack method is not necessarily enough to create a strong suppression.

But this is Bisky's offensive, woven together in a muscular form, and its power is truly terrifying.

However, even without using the "Starlight Condensation" ability, Morrow saw through Bisky's method in an instant.

This is the effect of the Heart Drop Fist Listening, which makes everything in front of you slow down.

Moro saw through Bisky's attack and, relying on his superior strength, caught it with both hands without any pressure.

The result of this brief encounter instantly made Bisky realize that Morrow's strength had indeed become extremely powerful.

But her offensive was not affected in the slightest. In the next second, as their hands were locked in a stalemate, she delivered a powerful kick, directly striking Moro in the stomach.

But to her surprise, Moro's belly suddenly sank to one side as if it were clay, revealing a "C" shape.

Bisky's powerful kick missed its mark.

This gave Moro a chance to counterattack. Taking advantage of Bisky's focus on attacking, which caused her defense to become somewhat unbalanced, Moro immediately retaliated with a kick.

"Oh!"

A solid kick landed on Bisky's abs, accompanied by a dull thud. She stumbled backward a distance, blood already seeping from the corner of her mouth.

She realized that Moro had held back at the last moment; otherwise, the opening she had made during her attack would have been enough to end the battle instantly.

"Moro, how did you manage to generate such a powerful aura?"

Bisky knew that Morrow's strength was no longer what it used to be. Not to mention the obvious change in his temperament, the reaction speed he displayed in offense and defense alone shocked her.

So she gave up on the idea of ​​"confirming" it. Just like how she transformed into a muscular form before the fight, now that she had lost her will to fight, she decisively transformed back into her loli form and asked Moro about the reason for his current change.

Faced with Bisky's curious questioning, Morrow calmly replied, "This is the second thing I asked you to do here."

"Ok?"

Bisky slightly concealed the surprise on her face and looked seriously at Morrow's face.

Moro raised his right hand and said, "I possess an upgrade ability that can break through the limits of my own talent, and I can also bestow this possibility upon those who trust me."

"An upgrade ability that can break through the limits of talent...?"

Bisky was completely stunned.

This short sentence contains an astonishing amount of information.

Based on her decades of understanding of Nen, she didn't think it was anything special if it was just about upgrading one's abilities.

After all, in the so-called upgrade concept in computer games, it is not impossible for capable individuals to be influenced by it and develop upgrade abilities.

What's truly terrifying is the effect of breaking through the limits of one's own talent.

According to Morrow, this ability can even be granted to others?
Bisky seemed to understand in an instant why Moro could improve so rapidly, but she also knew that under the mechanism of oath and constraint, the so-called difficulty of breaking through the limit of talent would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

But at the same time, he was also moved by Moro's act of revealing the secret of his ability.

"Moro, you bastard..."

Bisky's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

In her view, Moro's willingness to do this was a sign that he trusted her and considered her an important person.

"Wait, you don't mean you think I might need this upgrade ability, and you're trying to use it as one of the conditions to persuade me?"

Bisky's eyes widened slightly.

Moro nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, almost all ability users need this upgrade ability, or rather, they need to use this ability to reach the limits of humanity."

This is the most terrifying aspect of the Love Etude after the tree rings were modified.

As long as the difficulty of upgrading is not considered, it can give an average person a chance to reach the same level as Netero.

Of course, this only applies to the improvement in "Qi level".

Nevertheless, it is still incredible.

This is precisely the fundamental reason why Bisky was so shocked.

Morrow watched Bisky's reaction with a calm heart.

In theory, Bisky could use this ability to raise her aura level to the same level as Netero at his peak.

But in the world, only Moro has ever broken through Lv.100 and continued to level up.

He is unique, always ahead of every other human powerhouse.

………………

After struggling to process the impactful information Morel had given her, Bisky finally decided to accept Morel's invitation.

After gaining a general understanding of the Chimera Ant extermination campaign, I also understood the purpose of the Chimera soldier corpses in the dimensional room.

It turns out it was used to level up quickly.

After Moro successfully persuaded Bisky to join the team exploring the Dark Continent, the team now consisted of five people.

But this configuration is far from enough.

To explore the Dark Continent, hardware capabilities alone are not enough.

They also need to have various professional skills.

Take, for example, the many professions associated with the twelve earthly branches of the association. For instance, Gale's knowledge of toxins and Kruk's knowledge of botany are professional skills that can play an important role in exploring the Dark Continent.

Finding someone with the required professional skills on short notice was no easy task for Morrow.

Moreover, he couldn't just "infect" others with his abilities without any contact or trust. Only people like Bisky, who already had a foundation of trust, could be exempt from this concern.

In short, team building can only be done gradually.

The more important task at hand is to resolve the issue of Byangde and to re-incubate the Chimera.

Moro was not in a hurry to fulfill his promise to the Chimera King. Before completely eliminating all the Chimera soldiers, he set off for the secret realm where the Chimera eggs were stored.

He wanted to test whether the current death energy could hatch a chimera.
