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

Chapter 217 Arrogant Sunshine! One Man Destroys a Nation!

Not only Ibaraki, but the other two, including Arrogance, were also surprised to see Lynn.

The elders of the Satan tribe are clearly taking action to deal with Lynn; judging by the timing, it should have begun.

Unexpectedly, Lynn was unharmed and even appeared before them.

Where did the three people from the ancestral hall go?

Haven't they made a move yet?

Or is it that—

Ibaraki and the others dared not think about it any further.

You should know that the three of them are no match for the three from the shrine.

Something must have happened at the ancestral hall, and they haven't had time to take action yet. That must be it, and that's the only explanation!

Upon seeing Lynn appear, Chopper and Sasuke also retreated to Lynn's side.

An eerie silence fell over the center of the field for a moment.

The fighting on the periphery was even fiercer, because Lynn brought Gail and others with him, and the two forces combined to suppress the Yingren Kingdom.

Lynn stood silently, calmly scanning the three of them.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses, who seemed like a cultured person but exuded a hidden arrogance, was Arrogance.

The guy wielding the long sword who just fought Sasuke seems to be Ibaraki.

The remaining person's name was unknown, but his aura was the weakest among the three.

With three A+ level attributes, this force is already extremely powerful in the outside world, and only top-tier forces can contend with it.

If scaled down proportionally and placed within the context of One Piece, they would be on par with the Seven Warlords of the Sea, absolute powerhouses on the high seas. The only ones stronger than them are "Emperors" like Netero.

Unfortunately, they not only encountered one of the Four Emperors, but also an entire pirate crew at the level of two Emperors.

He and Yoto Hime are both S-rank, and there are also Zoro, Yoruichi, Chopper, and many other A+ rank characters, making it an extremely formidable lineup.

The only way he could think of tonight's attack to fail was for Yingren Kingdom to go all out and use forbidden weapons of the level of "Poor Rose" in the royal palace.

In that case, everyone except him would die.

He was quite confident in this regard, after all, he valued his life very much and had a good ability to protect himself.

I won't go into the usual gourmet cells, cacti, and the like.

The 【Stand-Body Scarecrow】 allows him to survive the initial explosion, and then use the Door-Door Fruit's coordinates to teleport away.

Even if you are contaminated with poisonous gas, you can use a poisonous bird to remove it, or use herbs or the Doctor's Suitcase to treat it.

So now, even if he wanted to die, it would be very difficult for him.

Unless multiple [Poor Man's Rose] are released in succession, or it is an absolute form of physical suppression and mental control, he will not be in any danger.

Ibaraki and his two companions were clearly not among these special cases.

This is not a battle.

It was a one-sided massacre.

"How did you get here?!" Ibaraki broke the silence, his face contorted with rage. "Where are those three?!"

"Damn it!"

"Those Satanic guys are really not to be trusted!"

If scolding him could bring the three members of the shrine to appear, Ibaraki wouldn't mind saying a few more words, but unfortunately things weren't that simple.

In fact, the truth has already been laid bare before them.

A truth that no one wants to believe.

Lynn slowly spoke: "You are Ibaraki, right? As far as I know, you once sent someone to assassinate me. You really went to great lengths."

Then he looked at Pride: "And you are Pride, the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins. I am grateful for your kindness in sending two groups of people to deal with me."

"You don't need to worry about those three; two of them are right here."

Following Lynn's gaze, the three of them saw only the unconscious Hejian and Yingwu, which was absolute proof!

The three people in the ancestral hall — something unexpected happened.

"According to them, the old man has already gone to see the Demon King."

"And you will be soon too."

Lynn spoke slowly, as if he were recounting something mundane.

This filled Ibaraki and his companions with both anger and fear.

If what Lynn said is true, what should we do?

The sounds of fighting on the periphery came like a tidal wave, but they did not sway the group in the slightest.

Lynn crossed his arms and continued, "I'll give you a chance."

"It's just me; no one else will interfere."

Was he the only one there?

If that's the case, they still have a good chance.

"Don't be so arrogant!" The veins on Arrogance's forehead bulged, and his anger overwhelmed his worry at this moment.

He had lost count of how long it had been since anyone dared to speak to him like that.

It existed a long time ago.

Without exception, they were all completely dead.

Ibaraki and his companion were also furious, but they remained calm enough.

Thinking about it carefully, it's absolutely impossible for Lynn to have single-handedly taken down the three members of the shrine.

At the very least, it took the combined efforts of Bisge and Reges's side to defeat the three members of the Shrine. It's even uncertain whether those three actually lost, since the Shrine is still nowhere to be found.

But no matter what, Lynn couldn't possibly be so strong that the three of them combined couldn't defeat him.

Almost instantly, the three of them made a decision at the same time.

Three afterimages flashed by as they attacked Lynn simultaneously.

Although the truth of the matter is still unclear, the most urgent task is to eliminate as many of Reges's strongmen as possible. Since Lynn is so arrogant and wants to die, they will let him have his way!

"Oni Taiko - Buddha Cutter!"

Ibaraki was the first to rush to Lynn's side. When he activated his Nen ability, he was not only the strongest of the three, but also the one with the most pressing time.

If nothing unexpected happens, the guy using electricity is also Lynn's Nen beast, so as long as he kills Lynn, he can meet the Nen ability requirements; otherwise, he will die by his own hand.

He suddenly swung his sword, and dense Nen energy shot out, forming a series of interconnected Nen bullets that rushed forward like giant V-shaped scissors, seemingly about to cut Lynn in half!

At this moment, Ibaraki was a strong person even among A+ level, and the power of his moves was quite astonishing, which startled the people, including Gai Lu, who were observing from behind.

Even though they had heard a lot, Gail and the others hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes like Bisge, so when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel worried.

Facing three A+ level opponents simultaneously, even the guard team, acting as S-level goalkeepers, would have no chance of surviving.

Only someone of Netero's caliber could handle that.

Unfortunately, that was him.

Lynn's gaze remained calm, and without making the slightest move, a wooden shield suddenly formed in front of him, blocking the Buddha's Scissors.

boom!

Although the previous information indicated that he was an ice-type, it was clear that this guy was hiding a lot, so it wasn't surprising. Ibaraki thought to himself, and at the same time, he slashed out with his sword, cutting through the wooden shield, intending to take the opportunity to attack Lynn behind him.

However, after the wooden shield was cut open, Lynn was nowhere to be seen behind it.

How is that possible?!

His presence, his presence is clearly there—

Ibaraki's pupils contracted, and he looked to the left.

Lynn, who should have been behind the wooden shield, appeared beside him in that instant and raised his long sword high.

"Flying Swallow," Lynn said calmly, and then Hyōrinmaru descended.

In an instant, a sword aura suddenly rushed out, like an ice-shaped swallow, and flew away into the distance with Ibaraki in its mouth!

Arrogance, who was a step behind, rushed forward. He had no weapon, but his hands were wrapped in abundant Nen energy, and he attacked as if he were wearing huge gauntlets that did not match his body size.

Make sure you hit it!

Arrogant, eyes blazing with fury.

His Nen ability is called "Six Minutes God Doesn't Care About." When it hits someone, it can target up to two people at the same time, inflicting "arrogance" on them. Specifically, it manifests as a zero-sum game.

In the first three minutes, the target's strength will gradually decrease, while his strength will gradually increase.

Theoretically, he was at his strongest at 2 minutes and 59 seconds.

Then, within the next three minutes, the situation will reverse: his strength will gradually decrease, while the target's strength will increase.

The effects of two targets will overlap, with the effect being stronger in the first three minutes and weaker in the last three minutes.

The reason he created this Nen ability was because he arrogantly believed that he could definitely defeat the enemy within the first three minutes!

Faced with the aggressive arrogance, Lynn displayed exceptional physical skills and strength, quickly dodging the arrogance's attack, and then kicked it away at a tricky angle.

From beginning to end, arrogance couldn't even touch him.

A strong presence can easily cause others to overlook something.

He doesn't just rely on brute force to crush opponents; he also possesses combat skills honed through countless hours of practice. Even if he suppresses his strength to the same level as others, he can still win.

He had just opened the sixth gate, and since he couldn't open another one in a short time, he changed his approach, shifting from overwhelming him with raw power to overwhelming him with skill. Either way, the outcome would be the same.

The other onlookers were stunned.

Despite it being a one-on-three situation, Lynn controlled the pace from beginning to end, manipulating Ibaraki and the other two at will.

Let alone defeating them.

Even when the three of them tried to touch him, they could barely reach Lynn.

Even a casual strike from Lynn could inflict considerable damage on them.

What upset them even more was that Lynn was getting more and more hits.

From one against three at the beginning to three against three now.

The two clones Lynn created were almost identical to him, not only able to use various abilities, but also possessing superb skills.

Ibaraki and his two companions felt extremely frustrated during the fight; it was the most difficult battle they had ever fought.

Now they finally realize that Lynn's previous words were absolutely true!

He saw that He and Yingwu were defeated by him, and even the Sitang, who was nowhere to be seen, may have been killed by him!

Because Lynn's performance at this moment is very convincing!

Just who exactly is this exorcist?

Have you been hiding your true abilities all along?

Only today have they revealed their true strength.

This seemingly powerful exorcist is actually one of the strongest in the six continents!

Ibaraki and Arrogance were completely baffled, because Lynn's behavior was so different from what they had previously known.

If they had known it would be like this, how could they have dared to make a move!

But now there's no chance to regret it.

Before long, the battle between the three took a turn for the better when the weakest A+ level fighter was killed by the clone with the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.

Then came his arrogance, which made him think he had no rivals. As his name suggests, he was arrogant, but after losing an arm, branches pierced through his body.

Finally, Ibaraki was cut in half by Hyōrinmaru.

From then on, the strongest man in Yingren Kingdom and the powerful helpers he had found were all dead.

Lynn glanced at the three corpses, but he didn't feel anything about it. After all, both Arrogance and Ibaraki harbored malice towards him, so this day was bound to come sooner or later.

He doesn't usually provoke people, but if someone tries to mess with him, that's a different story.

He will only keep moving forward until he becomes the true strongest!

With the strongest warriors, including Ibaraki, dead and few remaining, the Yingren Kingdom quickly surrendered.

After all, the tide had turned against them.

The Yingren Kingdom would not take extreme measures because they still had a way out.

According to Gail, there will only be conflicts between countries, but they will not choose to exterminate each other.

For example, they are now merely clipping the wings of Yingren Kingdom, but the original royal family still holds power, and they will take the opportunity to sign treaties to gain benefits.

The root cause lies in the five behemoths that occupy the six continents, V5.

V5 does not want to see other countries grow bigger, turning V5 into V6, so it uses peace as a pretext.

Conflicts are allowed, but the complete occupation of other countries by any one country is not permitted; otherwise, V5 would have a reason to intervene.

In addition, there are many other factors. The best solution is to eliminate the vital forces of Yingren Kingdom, at least to prevent the existence of any strong individuals, and then sign a treaty. However, this would essentially render the kingdom defunct.

Therefore, the Yingren royal family is actually still alive, and may even continue to sit in that position, although in many ways they are not as good as before.

Therefore, they can persevere, but they will not fight to the death and choose to use prohibited weapons.

Because they still have a way out, at least they can survive.

In fact, none of the members of Yingren Kingdom, including the royal family, Ibaraki, and the arrogant priests, expected this outcome. At first glance, it seemed that Yingren Kingdom had performed too poorly.

But in reality, Lynn was too cunning.

It can be said that without Lynn, Yingren Kingdom would never have reached this point.

Amy should have died from the curse last year.

Even assuming Lynn didn't participate, the attack at the end of May would still have had a very high probability of success.

However, it was precisely because of the addition of Lynn that Yingren Kingdom reached this point. One person affected the fate of two countries, which can be described as "one person destroying a country".

Lynn didn't care about the political maneuvering between nations; that was Amy and the others' business. He was more concerned with the dropped cards.

Pride lives up to its name, giving him a pleasant surprise.

【Name: The Magic of the Sun】

Grade: A+

[Type: Ability Card]

[Background: The Seven Deadly Sins]

[Introduction: The magic of the sun is the source of Escanor's power, the sin of pride, and is also a "grace" bestowed by the highest god of the goddess race. The power of the holder will change with the sunlight, with the smallest amplification at midnight and the largest amplification at noon.]

【The Magic of the Sun】, also known as 【Sunshine】, is the ability that Escanor, known as "Pride" in the Seven Deadly Sins series, once displayed.

Lynn was no stranger to this work; his retaliatory blade was derived from the leader known as "Anger."

Each of the Seven Deadly Sins is a talented individual, but Escanor stands out as particularly memorable. He is weak at night and cannot defeat anyone, yet he is extremely powerful at noon.

And now, he is the one who will hold the title of "Sun"!
