Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World.

Chapter 181 A+ Rank Devouring Power! Crimson Cocoon!

After putting away the [Dragon-Turning Pot], Lynn's gaze fell on Gluttony, who was not far away.

As an A+ rank powerhouse, Gluttony's strength was naturally not bad. Unfortunately, he was facing a double beating from Tsunade and Gengar. He couldn't win if he wanted to fight, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to. The outcome was already predetermined.

"roar!"

The Gluttonous Beast, covered in wounds, let out a roar that sounded less like a human and more like a wild beast. Many of its scales were torn and blood was flowing freely. It emitted a faint, dying breath.

He was so tired, he needed to eat something!

As long as he eats something, he can replenish his energy.

His Nen ability is called "The Gift of Food," which allows him to become stronger by consuming living beings. The more powerful the creature, the better the feedback, and there is even a chance to acquire the corresponding ability.

However, the process of consuming it involves a certain amount of pain and can affect one's mental state.

The specific situation is divided by level. He is currently Lv5 and has five abilities. He can possess one biological ability for each level up.

Currently, this includes scales from the Morinthian dragon and fleshy wings from the Crimson Wyvern.

In the process, he became less and less like a normal person.

Peng!

Gluttony threw a punch, clashing with Tsunade once again!

Two fists, one large and one small, unleashed astonishing power, sending shockwaves surging outwards. However, in the next moment, multiple energy balls shot out from the shadows, accurately striking the abdomen.

Gluttony was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground with a dull thud, creating a large crater, and then fainted.

If he were only facing Tsunade, Gluttony wouldn't be so helpless, but the elusive Gengar posed a great threat to him.

A+ rank Gengar is more threatening than other Gengar of the same rank.

Perhaps the effect of [Gate of the King] took effect earlier, as Gluttony successfully dropped a new card after he fell.

【Name: The Power of Devouring】

Grade: A+

[Type: Ability Card]

[Background: One Piece]

[Introduction: Derived from the Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit, this ability has three effects. Effect 1: Amplification, which can enhance the effects of consuming food. Effect 2: Assembly, which can piece together two incomplete items of the same type to make them whole.]

Effect 3: Devouring. Allows the user to consume a Devil Fruit without the side effects, making it one of their abilities. Current maximum consumption: 1.

A glint of light flashed in Lynn's eyes.

It turns out to be the Gluttony Fruit from One Piece!

Like the previously obtained clay doll, it originates from the power of a Devil Fruit, rather than being directly granted by the Devil Fruit.

This is even better, as there are no restrictions on consuming the fruit.

The power of devouring has three effects: amplification, splicing, and absorption.

The amplification effect can enhance the effects of consuming food, making it a lower-level substitute for food cells, but the two effects can be stacked.

It seems that splicing can put two incomplete objects together into a complete form.

But the real value lies in the third point: devouring!

The power of Gluttony allows him to consume Devil Fruits without limit, but currently there is only one slot available; he needs to level up to have more slots.

But this is enough to demonstrate the power of the [Swallowing Power].

As long as his power continues to increase, he will be able to possess the abilities of more Devil Fruits at the same time, and in the future he may be able to possess powerful abilities such as the Azure Dragon Fruit and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

As for now, he only has the String-String Fruit and the Jackal Fruit, which are not worth wasting his precious positions on. He should wait and see.

I wonder if the characteristics of this capital city of Reges will yield a useful Devil Fruit. This is the most likely place he has found to produce a Devil Fruit.

Lynn gathered her thoughts.

At this point, aside from the character cards, only he and his two disciples, Hisoka and Shalnark, remain on the field.

Seeing Lynn looking over, Hisoka returned the smile, then took three steps in two and left, a strange light flashing in his narrow eyes.

I've seen enough surprises today; it's time to leave.

He was genuinely afraid that Lynn might impulsively kill him like Kuroro did.

After Hisoka left, Lynn also looked at the hardworking and diligent swordsman.

The Phantom Troupe has been wiped out, and the Swordsman's infiltration mission has officially come to an end.

But it wouldn't just be thrown away.

It's a waste to just destroy a puppet that cost a B+ card, after all. Besides, the puppet is intelligent and its Nen ability is quite useful, so it's still usable.

As for the position of the enemy's second control effect, to be honest, it's no longer important to him, because he has a better alternative.

The second effect of the enemy manipulator requires consuming a card of the corresponding level to permanently control the target.

The second effect of clay dolls is that as long as the target's corpse is present and the target is strong enough, an identical doll can be created.

Therefore, the only value of the enemy's controller is the temporary control provided by effect one.

Lynn was sent directly to Capone's side by the swordsman to continue shining brightly.

With his abilities, Xia Ke is better suited to assist Capone and navigate the mafia.

Over time, Capone's business has flourished, making him a well-known figure among top-tier gangsters.

Capone's current goal is to dethrone one of the Ten Elders and take their place, officially becoming the head of the world's mafia.

In the process, he also offended many people, including the Ten Elders' forces, which was exactly when he needed manpower.

After receiving the arrangements, the knight-errant left immediately.

Lynn then went to the side of Rage and Gluttony, which were placed side by side on the ground.

He told Zoro and the others to hold back, wanting to find out the true identities of the two men and get more information from them.

Judging from the card drops, the one who got [Counterattack Blade] should be the one with Rage, and the one who got [Gluttony Power] should be the one with Gluttony.

This is when support personnel can truly shine.

A ray of light swept by.

A beautiful figure appeared before them.

Charlotte Brin has a pair of fluffy twin ponytails, and her bangs cover her third eye, leaving only a pair of bright and cute big eyes showing.

Brin has fair skin, a gentle smile on her lips, and a charming and sweet demeanor. She is wearing a light purple princess dress.

After receiving Lynn's instructions, Pudding reached into the raging head and began reading memories. Soon after, she read Gluttony's memories and finally obtained the information Lynn wanted.

Unsurprisingly, these two are Wrath and Gluttony, two of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Lynn also learned more information from this, such as the personalities, hobbies, habits, and effects of Nen abilities of the two individuals, as well as information about the other members of the Seven Deadly Sins.

There are seven members of the Seven Deadly Sins, the strongest of whom is Pride, the leader.

Secondly, there's binge eating.

Finally, there is rage, greed, and envy.

Lust and Sloth are purely support-type talents; they are not very strong in themselves, but their Nen abilities are quite effective.

It can influence other people's emotions and thus manipulate them; even a strong person can fall victim to it if they are not careful.

He also learned that the Seven Deadly Sins had been watching him for a long time, and that the Nen user in the Sares ruins was Envy, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, and was still alive.

Tonight's chaos was orchestrated by the Yingren Kingdom. They commissioned the Seven Deadly Sins to carry out the plan and found members of a tribe called the Satan Clan, using their abilities to instigate this disturbance.

The two Gluttons didn't know much about the Satanic tribe, only that it was a small ethnic group, even smaller than the Kurta tribe.

They worship a legendary demon king and possess the ability to control death thoughts, hence they are known as the "Death Thought Clan."

Thinking of this, Lynn recalled the two people he had dealt with not long ago; it seemed that they were the so-called Satanic tribe members.

He never imagined that there was such a strange race on the Six Continents. Although there were all kinds of sects and beliefs, this was the first time he had ever heard of a race that worshipped a demon king.

Lynn grasped the key point instantly.

We don't know where they live in seclusion.

Such a unique ethnic group might have special characteristics that could lead to the production of unusual cards.

Unfortunately, it seems that the two people used some kind of strange power, which completely devoured their life force, and they couldn't even preserve their physical bodies. Otherwise, he could have let Pudding search for their memories.

Thanks to Pudding's abilities, Lynn has fully understood the ins and outs of the matter and has gained a deeper understanding of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Now that we've become enemies, we need to pay close attention to this organization.

The best way to keep an eye on them is to plant a spy within the Seven Deadly Sins, just like they did with the Phantom Troupe.

This is where you can use clay figurines.

Fortunately, he has spent the past few months developing his abilities and has already reached A+ level, so the highest level of dolls he can produce is A+.

There are currently four permanent doll slots available. After removing the mask, only three remain, so we can't afford to waste them.

After a moment's consideration, he decided to make Gluttony his second permanent doll after Shadow.

Gluttony is stronger than Rage, so having an A+ level fighter is naturally better than an A level one. Moreover, Gluttony is not good at speaking and is usually taciturn. Since he is an identical puppet, his identity will be even less likely to be exposed.

Furthermore, the stronger Gluttony is, the higher the probability of a successful escape, which makes more sense to the other members of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Lynn first put the two to death, then made a large amount of clay to devour the gluttonous corpse completely.

Before long, a gluttonous doll that was exactly the same as the original was born.

Lynn told Gluttony to leave and to keep an eye on the Seven Deadly Sins.

Even the Seven Deadly Sins probably never imagined that a single operation would cost the lives of two members, and that their second strongest member, Gluttony, would become a spy.

Immediately, Lynn patted his waist again, and the sword-shaped Demon Sword Princess instantly transformed into human form, bowing slightly in respect before him: "Lord Lynn."

"Yoto Hime, these are yours." Lynn handed [Flashing Light] and [Counterattack Blade] directly to Yoto Hime.

Since the Demon Blade Princess can fully inherit the effects of the sword, it's natural to feed her the sword once you have it, maximizing its value.

"Yes!" Yaodaoji was very excited, her beautiful eyes staring intently at the two "dazzling" swords, eager to "devour" them.

Just like Erina's expression when she saw the Dragon Spinning Pot, the two were exactly the same.

Lady Lynn is so kind to let her eat such a delicious knife.

Yaodaoji praised Lynn again in her heart, while her hands continued to absorb the energy.

Although Yaodao-hime is already A-rank, Shining Light is A-rank, and Counterattack Blade is even higher A-rank, so she spent quite a bit of time on it this time.

After absorbing the nutrients, as expected, Yaodao-hime successfully advanced from A to A+ rank.

【Name: Demon Blade Princess】

Grade: A+

[Type: Character Card]

[Background: Onmyoji]

[Introduction: A yokai girl transformed from an ominous demon sword, possessing exceptional talent in swordsmanship. She can freely transform between human and sword forms, and can strengthen herself by consuming high-level swords, inheriting their effects. Currently, she has five forms.]

A+ grade Yaodao-hime is equivalent to two, or even more, A+ grade characters.

The Demon Blade Princess will continuously level up, so the more swords he feeds to her, the more swords will level up along with her. It's like getting multiple things for the price of one – there's no better deal than this.

Currently, Yoto Hime has five sword forms, each of which is A+ grade, which is equivalent to five A+ grade swords.

Basic type with no special effects.

Autumn Water practicing swordsmanship.

Hyōrinmaru during normal combat.

A flash of light, similar to a fast sword.

The counterattack weapon of the rebound mechanism.

Lynn had Yaodaoji transform into swords one by one and had a good time.

His main means of attack now is swordsmanship, so swords and sabers are of paramount importance; the more and stronger the swords and sabers, the better for him.

Five swords are not the limit for Yoto Hime; she can have even more swords in the future.

When Yaodao-hime was promoted, he also discovered the message from Gal.

While he was fighting, something went wrong elsewhere in the palace.

The north gate has been breached.

The North Gate was guarded by a royal relative, an A+ level expert who used fire-based Nen abilities, but it was breached by the concentrated attack of the Yingren Kingdom, and the leader was seriously injured.

Bisge and the others then went to provide support, and the enemy's fighting strength was immediately stretched thin. After a fierce battle, they were successfully repelled.

However, it is not yet known whether Yingren Kingdom has completely abandoned its attacks, so vigilance is still needed until the ceremony ends.

Lynn seemed to understand why Yingren Kingdom had chosen to retreat.

Because a significant portion of their strength was lost to him.

Yingren Kingdom sought help from two outsiders: the Satan Clan and the Seven Deadly Sins. However, both of them were defeated at the southern gate.

The Yingren Kingdom launched a fierce attack but received no reinforcements, so they were forced to retreat, presumably having truly abandoned their offensive.

From the perspective of Yingren Kingdom, they must have felt helpless. They had found two helpers, but they had both disappeared. Only the Satan Clan was of any help, at least they successfully caused a disturbance.

But it was no use. The strength of Yingren Kingdom alone was insufficient to break through the joint defense of the Reges royal family and Bisji and others. Helpless, they had no choice but to abandon their mission.

Time passed slowly, and the ceremony finally ended at around 2:30 a.m., a little earlier than expected.

However, this does not mean the crisis is over.

Because everyone discovered something strange.

In the central square of the capital city of Reges, a blood-red cocoon about three or four stories high silently floats in the air, surrounded by a dense aura of death, making it exceptionally eerie.

Lynn and the others looked at the large cocoon from a distance.

It is said that after the corpse died, its deathly thoughts did not dissipate directly, but instead drifted to the city center square and condensed into this large cocoon.

Although they didn't know what it was, their instincts told them it was no good and posed a great threat.

It seemed as if something was being conceived.
