Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Ruyni cautiously emerged from behind a car.

He peeked around and made sure there were no other soldiers at the alley entrance before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew... I didn't expect to run into the Ninth Prince and his regular army. His guardian spirit beasts are truly terrifying... Moreover, everyone else has only one guardian spirit beast, but the Ninth Prince has two..."

Ruinie still felt lingering fear when he recalled the scene just now.

With two powerful guardian spirit beasts, the Ninth Prince Harkenbrug even possesses his own Nen ability.

"However, that overwhelming aura and terrifying power could not possibly be achieved by a beginner with just a little practice..."

Ruyni couldn't understand it; even with cheat codes, he wasn't this freakish.

How come the Ninth Prince is even more powerful than him, even with his cheat code?

He instinctively sensed something was wrong, but due to his lack of knowledge about Nen abilities, he couldn't grasp that spark of inspiration.

Left with no other choice, he could only keep it in mind for the time being, planning to tell Morina about it later and see if she knew about it.

Wandering aimlessly, Ruyni once again passed through the invisible wall.

The light and shadow flickered before him, and as usual, he went on high alert, but he concealed his aura and pretended to be a civilian who had wandered in by mistake.

He used this method to deceive the Ninth Prince, Harkenbrug.

The scene before us froze in time.

What came into view made Ruyni's pupils shrink!

Right in front of him, a huge, blue dragon-shaped guardian spirit beast that was slowly shrinking was staring at him menacingly, with ferocious tentacles floating up from behind it.

Behind the guardian spirit beast, a little boy lay quietly—

It is none other than the thirteenth prince, Marayan!

Chapter 411 Space Restoration × Exposure

Inside the King's Palace.

Inside the ornately decorated hall, the original luxurious decorations were removed one by one and replaced with ordinary wool cushions and curtains.

A long line of servants and guards, heads bowed, respectfully entered the palace, carrying precious porcelain pieces out of the palace, their destination unknown.

Most notably, the huge portraits of past kings that originally hung in the royal palace were carefully taken down and carried away from the palace in groups of four, as if they were carrying their entire extended family.

Nasby stood on the central staircase leading to the second floor, leisurely munching on a chicken leg, watching the servants come and go, when he suddenly spoke:

"Nugui, has the treasury been dealt with properly, with the ashes?"

Minister Nuguyi appeared out of nowhere, bowed, and smiled:

"Your Majesty, it has been taken care of."

"The Three Sacred Treasures and the important ritual medium have been moved elsewhere, and I have personally killed those who knew about them. No one can find that thing."

"Nowadays, the national treasury contains nothing of value except some old antiques and broken stones."

Nasby nodded in satisfaction and gave the instructions:

"Remember to clean out any useful items in the Queen's palace as well. These are the treasures of the new king after his ascension to the throne, and not a single speck of dust should be wasted."

"If the guests do come, then today's preparations will not have been in vain. If they don't come, the new king's coronation will also need to make room for the new queen or king consort. We shouldn't leave such things to the new king."

Nuguyi lowered his head and replied:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Nasby turned and walked towards the second floor, asking without looking back:

"What's the current progress of the [100,000 Sacrifices]?"

"Judging from the growth rate of the [Colossus], it has already reached 7%. Based on the current severity of the epidemic, it is estimated that the [3 Sacrifices] will be fully completed by the end of March."

"If there is an opportunity to complete the [100,000 Sacrifices] ahead of schedule, that would be ideal. Even if I abdicate and the new king is incompetent, he will be able to defend the country with the help of the [Colossus]. The rest depends on whether he has the talent to support the fate of the nation."

Nasby slowly walked up the steps and said meaningfully:

"The road to becoming king is long and arduous."

Upon hearing this, Nuguyi hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Would Yang De have any objections to this?"

Nasby waved his hand and said:

"He has devoted so much time to that unrealistic dream. If he really had any complaints, he wouldn't be unable to even send a message."

"His silence now means he has no objection to our actions."

Perhaps he believed his son could become King Kakin, or perhaps he genuinely believed Nasby would keep his promise; in any case, Byond never appeared from beginning to end.

No one knows better than Nasby how many tricks Yang De had planted in Kakin, all of which were tacitly approved under his nose.

Even that "bastard" was only able to be confirmed as the true son of the king because of his deliberate indulgence.

This humiliating incident was not a big deal for Nasby at all.

Ultimately, all women in his eyes are nothing more than empty shells containing a "useful womb."

As long as those descendants of Yang De obediently participate in the "Egg in the Pot," whether they are princes or privately appointed soldiers, they will eventually become nourishment for the new king.

The new king was merely the catalyst for Kakin's growth.

Of course, there's another reason besides Yang De not being in a hurry—

"As long as the Black Whale can be completed smoothly, his plan will not go wrong. This is something that both Yang De and the [New King] must do..."

Nasby succinctly hit the nail on the head, a cold glint in his eyes.

As he said.

Now that the Black Whale, which has consumed enormous amounts of resources and manpower, is nearing completion, there is no reason to stop its construction.

If the new king doesn't want this crucial national project to go to waste after he ascends the throne, he must be determined to complete it!

And what happens after it's completed?

The Black Whale is an unprecedented super-giant cruise ship capable of carrying hundreds of thousands of people. There is simply no room for such a behemoth to operate in Lake Möbius.

The various territorial treaties alone can confine it to a small area, so that it will never be able to leave the Strait of Benghazi until it rusts and rots away!

They spent enormous sums of money, time, and manpower, only to find themselves stranded in the harbor...

The Black Whale will become the most ridiculous engineering project in history!

The new king who eventually takes over will also suffer massive public criticism, even though it was not a project he spearheaded.

The only perfect solution to this problem is to follow the original plan, cooperate with Yang De's team, and announce the exploration of the Dark Continent!

It can stimulate the economy, enhance domestic and international reputation, significantly elevate the country's status, divert a portion of the growing population, and develop overseas colonies...

It's absolutely beneficial with no drawbacks.

It was precisely because of such a wonderful prospect that Byron was able to remain expressionless, confident that whether it was Nasby or Kakin's new king, they would obediently continue according to his plan!

'What a terrifying guy. He seems to care about nothing, but in reality, he has everything firmly in his grasp...'

Nasby thought to himself, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Right now, the succession battle is the most important thing.

In order to give the new king enough time to prepare, the War of Succession cannot be dragged on for too long.

"Nugui, how far has the succession war progressed?"

Nasby turned around and asked.

Nugu replied:

"When I arrived, I saw that three fires had already been lit during the ceremony, but the specifics..."

Nasby raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to continue.

It is an ironclad rule that the king does not interfere in the War of Succession, and even observing the struggle between princes is absolutely forbidden. However, through rituals, one can get a glimpse into the intensity of the War of Succession.

Now, lighting three fires means the death of three princes.

It's only been a few hours since the succession battle officially began, so the progress is quite fast.

After careful consideration, Nasby gave the instructions:

"Remember to retrieve the body, but do so without attracting attention."

"only."

--------------

A corner of the square.

"Yes, I agree, give it to them."

After saying that, Diya put her phone away and stopped caring.

He turned to look at Qiduo beside him.

The other person was staring intently at their phone, looking thoughtful.

"What's wrong?"

As Diya moved closer, he peeked at her phone screen.

Seeing this, Qiduo's eyelids drooped, and she turned the screen around to show it to Dia in an annoyed manner:

“I was scammed. Thirty million yuan was transferred from my account without my knowledge, and I used it to buy a broken earring.”

"Oh, is that so?"

Dia's expression immediately returned to normal, and she opened her arms:

"Come on, let me comfort you."

"roll."

Kido was tempted for a moment, but she still refused with superhuman willpower.
