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

Chapter 202 Lynn Must Be Killed! A Simulated Battle with Catwoman!

The gap between A+ and S- is indeed significant. It may seem like only a small step, but there is a deep chasm between them that is difficult for ordinary people to cross.

People like Bisji and Geno are already top-tier fighters on the six continents, but they are only A+ level.

Only a strong person like Netero can be recognized as S.

Previously, his normal strength was only A+, and he needed to use the Eight Gates Formation to unleash his S- level combat power. Now, his normal strength is S-, making him a true top-tier fighter in the six continents.

As Lynn enjoyed his lunch, he felt the seemingly inexhaustible energy within him. For the first time, he was amazed by his incredible strength.

It's the end of July now. He's been in this world for almost two years, and has gradually grown to S-level.

This is not his end point; he will break through to S-rank, SS-rank, or even more powerful realms in the future!

In addition, others have also made progress.

Although they lack the [Power of Devouring] and [Life Return], most of them have awakened [Gourmet Cells], so tasting delicious food will help them become stronger to some extent.

Suddenly, significant fluctuations in the atmosphere emanated from the dining room.

In addition to the main course, Erina and Menchi will also make personalized adjustments to the other dishes according to everyone's tastes.

For example, Chopper likes sweets, Sasuke doesn't, and Yoruichi likes seafood, etc.

After lunch, Lynn seized the opportunity to test his skills, so he naturally needed to find a suitable opponent to practice against.

Normally, this opponent would be difficult to find, but fortunately, he has the [Fantasy Simulation Helmet].

He was initially only at grade A, but he later used his points to advance to grade A+.

He had many cards that needed upgrading, but not many points, so he thought of the omniscient ability of the [Gate of Truth], which could provide information about the cards.

He spent some points communicating with [Zero] and finally learned about the effects of upgrading multiple cards.

After careful consideration, he decided to upgrade his helmet. Luckily, he had accumulated a lot of points during his trip to the Magic Mirror, otherwise he would have been reluctant to do so.

The A+ level helmet doesn't have much change in specific effects; the main difference is that there are more types of enemies that may appear, and they are stronger. You can also choose the scene yourself.

Most enemies are in the A-level range, but there is a small chance of encountering S-level enemies. Defeating them will not drop A-level cards, but rather A+ level cards.

This aligns with his conjecture, as the difference between A— and A+ is so large that they can be considered as two different realms.

In other words, Leorio and Kurapika might have a chance to break their own rank when they are at A+.

Back in bed, Lynn put on the helmet and began the simulation.

Before he could begin, three options popped up in front of him for him to choose from.

Name: Momochi Zabuza

[Grade: A]

[Background: Naruto]

[Introduction: One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, wielder of the Executioner's Blade, skilled in silent killing techniques, known as the "Demon of the Mist"]

【Name: Bisji】

Grade: A+

[Background: Hunter x Hunter]

[Introduction: A master of the Heart Source Flow technique with decades of cultivation experience. Although she has a cute appearance, her true form is a muscular woman.]

Name: Neferpitou

[Rank: S—]

[Background: Hunter x Hunter]

[Introduction: A subordinate of the Chimera Ant King, a member of the Chimera Ant Guard, possessing powerful beastly instincts and talents, and mastering Nen abilities.]

After seeing the third option, Lynn automatically ignored the first two options.

Neferpitou the Catwoman!

The King Ant's guard consists of three people: Neferpitou, Owl Yapouf, and Mentuto Youpi.

Among them, Shayapov is the weakest and focuses on support.

Although Meng Tutu Youpi is strong, his weakness is also obvious because he is an individual composed of pure magical beast genes. He is not smart enough.

Catwoman is the most well-rounded member, possessing intelligence, strength, and the ability to provide support.

His arrival was just in time, allowing him to compare his current situation with that of the guards and gain a more comprehensive understanding of his current strength.

To this day, he has never truly fought a life-or-death battle against an S-class enemy; at most, he has sparred with Netero.

Since he could now choose the scene himself, Lynn casually picked a deserted open space during the day.

The scene changes.

What came into view was a barren wasteland, and a flickering ball of light that gradually solidified into a physical form.

As the name suggests, Catwoman is extremely similar in appearance to a cat.

With silver-white hair, a pair of upright cat ears, and a long cat tail behind her, she looks very cute overall.

However, her behavior is completely opposite to her appearance. She is extremely ruthless. In her mind, only the Ant King is truly important, and she doesn't care how she treats other things.

Her personality is also very similar to that of a cat, possessing a strong sense of curiosity and playfulness.

Catwoman slowly straightened up, her round eyes fixed on Lynn not far away, a look of doubt and impatience flashing in them.

How did she end up here?

She had to get back quickly. A meteor shower-like attack suddenly appeared over the palace, clearly indicating the presence of enemies, but she didn't know why she had ended up in this desolate wilderness.

Although they knew the king was very strong and that it was impossible for humans to harm the supreme king, as the guards, their duty was to protect the king, so they still felt worried.

If it were Puff here, he would probably be playing the violin, weeping and lamenting that he couldn't stay by the king's side when the enemy attacked, and that only death could atone for it.

In any case, her presence here must be related to the person in front of her.

Moreover—it was clearly night before, but now it has turned into daytime.

"Whoever you are, put me back now."

"I don't have time."

Catwoman's tone was extremely low, her words filled with murderous intent.

The situation at the palace is unclear, and she is in a bad mood.

"Do you want to go back?"

"Beat me."

Lynn beckoned with his finger, signaling Catwoman to attack him.

Upon hearing this, the catwoman narrowed her eyes, intending to grab him directly and then use her abilities to extract information.

Catwoman lay half-prone on the ground, assuming a cat-like stance ready to fight.

Those big eyes glared at Lynn, their gazes filled with boiling murderous intent!

Countless evil thoughts, like a raging river of blood, rushed straight towards him.

In an instant, the whole world turned blood red!

If a weaker Nen user were present, their heart would feel as if it were being squeezed tightly, as if it could explode at any moment, and even breathing would be extremely difficult!

The vast majority of Nen users were enveloped by the catwoman's extreme malice, which seemed to have emerged from hell, and they couldn't even escape!

But Lynn stood like a wooden stake in the waves, unmoved by the menacing crashing of the waves.

Such a fierce aura—he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Chimera ants truly live up to their reputation as creatures from the Dark Continent; they possess talents that surpass those of the vast majority of humans.

Even the division commander is comparable to a seasoned Nen user, not to mention the guards and the Chimera Ant King. They have only been in this world for a short time, yet their growth rate is many times that of others.

It's one thing to eat well, but it's also understandable that they produced outstanding offspring.

Even though the Chimera Ant Queen only eats animals and ordinary humans, and at most only eats a half-baked Pokkuru, she is able to give birth to such a powerful ant king.

Even the Chimera Ant King was a premature baby, born on his own before a normal delivery, and hadn't eaten many Nen users. Before he could develop much, he encountered Netero, one of the most powerful humans, and the "Rose of the Poor," and died tragically.

He couldn't even imagine how terrifying the Queen would be if Pokkuru were replaced by Netero.

However, there may be an upper limit to this. In the original work, the King of Ants was almost the maximum number of children the Queen could give birth to.

The ground vibrated.

Catwoman's thighs suddenly swelled up, as if they had been inflated by an air pump, with countless veins bulging on them.

With a flick of her tail, the catwoman's body shot out like an arrow, leaving no afterimage in mid-air!

In a split second, she could rip Lynn’s head off!

But in order to save her breath, she aimed for her right shoulder. This was only the first step; she was going to dislocate both arms.

However, Lynn's actions were faster than she expected!

Lynn turned his body to the side and quickly dodged Catwoman's attack. At the same time, his experience allowed him to deliver a precise kick to Catwoman's back.

Peng!

The momentum of the sprint and the impact from her back caused Catwoman to "fly" a distance before landing on all fours like a cat to dissipate the force. The ground suddenly collapsed, and dust flew everywhere.

Catwoman stared intently at Lynn not far away, her heart leaping in surprise!

This human's speed—is actually faster than hers?!

How is that possible?

To date, most of the humans she has seen are weak beings. Only the white-haired man from that night left an impression on her, but he could never do that!

How can humans possess such great strength?

wrong.

Catwoman's mind flashed through every moment of the past, like a slideshow playing frame by frame.

Lynn was indeed faster than her, but not by much. The real reason she missed was that Lynn reacted in advance!

Lynn had prepared to dodge long before she made her move.

Prediction? Or perhaps a powerful sense of perception?

Shocked, Catwoman immediately realized a very important problem.

Kill him!

Lynn must be killed, right now!

Otherwise, Lynn's existence would greatly hinder the king's ambition to rule the world, and she, as a member of the guard, must personally eliminate her!

Thinking of this, the catwoman's face darkened further, and a dense, terrifying crimson aura emanated from her body, her killing intent soaring to the heavens!

"Not bad." Lynn raised an eyebrow, acknowledging Catwoman's imposing presence and sensing her determination.

Perhaps they realized his strength was considerable and considered him a threat to the Ant King, which strengthened their resolve to kill him.

Then let him see Catwoman's full power.

The catwoman crouched slightly, her aura as deep red as blood. She was observing, trying to determine the best angle to launch an attack.

Since Lynn can predict the situation, it can only speed up and adapt to the circumstances, launching unexpected attacks by changing tactics in time!

Lynn simply looked at Catwoman and slowly said, "Although I've considered many possible offensive and defensive strategies, this seems like a bad move."

"Little ant".

As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn's Nen energy surged as if boiling, with pure Nen energy gushing out in waves.

Even during the day, it still gives the illusion of being under the blazing sun.

He's currently just using his usual combat habits, opening the first four gates. The boost isn't much, but combined with his base strength, it's still considerable.

Although both are S-rank, Catwoman should be considered the gatekeeper; if you don't go all out against her, you'll only die faster.

Catwoman froze, facing Lynn, her warning growing stronger, and immediately unleashed her trump card.

Kuroko Mai wants to!

Almost instantly, a phantom composed of blood-red spiritual energy appeared around the catwoman.

He looks like a puppeteer holding silver threads, and Catwoman is the puppet he controls.

This is the Nen ability branch that Neko-Woman developed: [Kuroko Maisou].

Mai Kuroko's ability is something Neko-Woman only uses when she wants to fight at full power; it only takes 0.1 seconds from activation to attack.

second.

It can be said to activate instantly!

This is a branch of Nen ability that Catwoman developed after a sudden inspiration.

Originally, Nen ability was meant to make it the controller, and other things the controller.

So why not allow yourself to be manipulated?

So Catwoman developed this ability.

The puppeteer manipulates the catwoman's body through mental strings, thereby enabling her to unleash power and speed beyond limits.

It's somewhat similar to a martial arts master's ultimate move, where one uses their mind to control themselves, thereby unleashing greater power.

However, the knight-errant cannot control himself, while the catwoman's actions are still under her control.

Catwoman once said, "Kuroko's dance is a dance that transcends limits."

This sentence is the origin of the name "Kuroko Masou".

In order to end the battle quickly, Catwoman used her trump card right away against Lynn, the strongest enemy she had ever faced.

boom!

A crimson aura shot into the sky, and in an instant, the catwoman appeared in front of Lynn, her claws brimming with astonishing power.

It worked!

Catwoman was overjoyed, but then Lynn disappeared from her sight again, and a very bad premonition arose in her heart.

At the same time, she felt a wave behind her that made her hair stand on end.

The next moment, a terrifying icy sword aura struck the catwoman's back, the immense force sending her flying!

boom!

Just as she was about to fall to the ground, the crimson Nen completely enveloped the catwoman, barely stopping her momentum.

Although she managed to regain her balance, Catwoman was hit and was not in good condition.

A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and a clear knife wound appeared on his back.

This was the first time it had ever been so disheveled since it was born.

Catwoman glared angrily, her eyes filled with blood-red light, staring intently at the figure.

Click, click—

A series of crisp sounds came from Catwoman's joints, extremely jarring in the silent open space.

Under the puppeteer's control, Catwoman struck a pose that was impossible for a normal person to do.

"I'll tear you to pieces!"

Catwoman glared fiercely at Lynn, her face contorted in pain, her once bright eyes now completely bloodshot.

As soon as she finished speaking, an extremely large amount of Nen energy emanated from the catwoman's body.

The crimson aura surged endlessly into the sky, instantly filling the entire sky with crimson light.

Even the sky was stained blood-red!

It makes you feel like you're in hell.

Lynn watched the crazed Catwoman silently, unaffected by anything around her.
