Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Identical doors can only mean one thing—

That's the same door!

"So... Neferpitou can now use Nob's [Four-Dimensional Apartment]?"

"There are probably still constraints we don't know about, but we can definitely make use of some of them."

Netero's words almost completely changed Dia's understanding of Nen abilities.

Is there such an operation?

But that's not surprising, considering it's just borrowing someone else's ability. Kuroro can even steal other people's abilities directly...

"and many more……"

Dia suddenly realized:

"Isn't Nob in great danger now?"

Neferpitou's current location might not be anywhere at all, but rather he might be hiding in Nob's Nen space!

I doubt anyone could have predicted that.

This monster that broke through containment was so calm that it used the cage that had imprisoned her as its home!

If Nob had opened the [Four-Dimensional Apartment] without knowing this, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

What if Nob were gathered with other hunters, or even in a bustling city?

The number of casualties is impossible to estimate.

"There's no need to worry about that. Nobu is in such a state that he can't maintain his [hair] at all, and he can't open the Nen space."

"Conversely, if we tell him that the monster is currently hiding in his mind space, then Nob's psychological trauma will never be cured, and at best, he will never be able to open the [Four-Dimensional Apartment]."

Netero's actions of distancing himself from the crowd were clearly not without reason.

Those people are too close to Nob. If they find out about this, it will inevitably reach Nob's ears, causing unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, describing Nitero's actions as "well-intentioned" is entirely appropriate.

But why is it considered the best-case scenario?

Because there's an even worse situation—

"That's why I insist on letting Nob continue fighting. If this matter isn't resolved, Nob won't become a hero in the fight against that ant; instead, he'll become an obstacle for us."

Netero's voice became very calm.

At this moment, he was thinking entirely as a hunter.

Aside from calm reflection, there were no other emotions.

If Nobu doesn't resolve his inner conflict, then the incredible ability of the "Four-Dimensional Apartment" will essentially be handed over to Neferpitou.

If a fight breaks out and Neferpitou hides inside, then no one can catch her.

Moreover, if things get to that point, people will find that as long as the Nen Space exists, Neferpitou is neither dead nor catchable.

If she were faster and had stronger intuition, wouldn't she be able to kill even the rose?

In this situation, it's obvious that another solution will be put on the agenda, which is the simplest one—

Kill Nob.

There will be two scenarios at that time.

First, Nob dies, the Four-Dimensional Apartment collapses, and Neferpitou dies from spatial turbulence.

Secondly, with Nobu's death, the 4-Dimensional Apartment remains permanently located there due to the influence of his spirit after death, and Neferpitou remains unaffected.

But the latter possibility has always existed, regardless of whether Norb is dead or alive.

In other words, this plan is actually a "worst-case scenario" that only maintains the status quo, so Nob's death is basically a foregone conclusion.

It is precisely because we do not want things to come to that point,

Netero insisted that Nob regain control of the 4D Apartment, as this was also to save Nob's life.

"Therefore, the most urgent tasks are actually two things—"

Nitero held up two fingers:

"First, find out Neferpitou's current location and what she's up to."

"When I was fighting with her, I could clearly feel that she had no intention of killing me or lingering on me. After realizing that she could not kill me easily, she decisively hid in the [Four-Dimensional Apartment] and I don't know where she is now."

“This is clearly illogical. There must be something extremely important to her that has distracted her and made her give up fighting me, or even give up killing Norb earlier, even if it might not have taken her a second.”

"Second, find a way to ensure that the other party is killed."

"Before that, to ensure she poses no threat to the public, we need a group of professional hunters to find and restrain her until you and I arrive at the scene to carry out the decapitation operation."

Netero naturally assigned Dia a task.

After listening to Netero's entire plan, Dia said thoughtfully:

"Putting everything else aside, if Neferpitou opens a door in Nob's [Four-Dimensional Apartment] and the door leads to an exit that Nob had previously set up."

"Then I roughly know where she's going."

Chapter 484 Revenge × The Ant King's Actions

While Dia and Netero were discussing countermeasures.

At the same time, the chimera ant nest.

The tearing sound echoed repeatedly between the empty, dark walls of the nest, sounding eerie and terrifying.

In the middle of the nest.

It was a bloody, red "mountain of flesh".

Meruem sat casually on the mountain of meat, constantly tearing off pieces of meat with his hands and stuffing them into his mouth, just like a diner indulging in delicacies.

Every time he tore off a piece of flesh, the mountain of flesh would tremble, and then another piece of flesh would grow back.

This mountain of flesh seems to be endlessly regenerating its own flesh for Meruem to enjoy!

It is inexhaustible and can be used without limit...

But is that even possible?

Meruem munched tirelessly, his face filled with excitement and satisfaction.

One hour, two hours...

This seemingly endless eating finally stopped after reaching a critical point.

It's not that Meruem is full.

Rather, the mountain of flesh couldn't hold on any longer...

Rumbling--

A violent tremor suddenly came from the mountain of flesh.

The entire nest was shaken slightly, followed by a sharp sound like stones rubbing together:

"king--"

The mountain of flesh let out a desperate cry of pain, and its continuous proliferation ceased:

"Yupi...Yupi can't grow anymore..."

Then its voice abruptly stopped, and it completely lost its life.

And so the mountain of flesh that seemed to be able to regenerate forever stopped growing.

Meruem, engrossed in his meal, paid no heed to this and continued to devour the remaining flesh and blood of the mountain of flesh.

Yupi?

Who is Yupi?

Meruem neither knew nor cared.

A few hours earlier, when he arrived at this room, which was not guarded by soldier ants, he encountered a strange, giant man who was entirely red.

Upon seeing him, the giant immediately knelt down and declared that he was willing to do anything for him.

Then Meruem tore off the giant's arm.

To fill his seemingly perpetually hungry stomach.

The giant man did not feel any disgust at being eaten; on the contrary, he was extremely excited, as if being eaten by Meruem was a supreme honor.

That giant was undoubtedly Yupi.

Yupi is the only one of the three Guardians who is a hybrid of a chimera ant and a magical beast. As a [Transmutation] type, it has the best physical plasticity.

So, in order to satisfy the ant king's feeding needs...

Yupi pushed his regenerative abilities to the limit, and in the process, he skipped the long evolutionary process at an extremely fast speed, becoming that mountain of flesh.

That is a form of value that abandons all needs, functions, and roles, leaving only the value of being "eaten".

But it's a pity.

It doesn't have much scientific knowledge, otherwise it would know that this method is just a short-sighted solution.

No matter how strong Youpi's regenerative ability is, it is impossible for it to truly proliferate indefinitely.

Finally, it awaits.

Only when they are eaten until they are completely exhausted

This is one possible outcome.

Even after the ant king lost its reproductive characteristics, its feeding speed did not decrease at all; it continued to eat without any distraction.

So, only a few minutes later...

The remaining Yupi flesh and blood were also completely devoured by Meruem.
