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

Chapter 244 S-Rank Devouring Power! Lynn is the Champion!

The third point is transportation, or rather, traffic.

The six continents, which are the same size as Blue Star, are merely islands in Lake Möbius. It is hard to imagine how big Lake Möbius is, or how vast the Dark Continent on the other side must be.

Even disregarding the dangers along the way, the time required to travel from the six continents to the Dark Continent alone is measured in months or even years.

The time spent traveling back and forth is quite expensive.

Therefore, the time cost should not be underestimated. A single trip takes a lot of time. In order to utilize resources on a large scale, there must be ways to save time.

He can't do that for now, but he thinks the Door-Door Fruit is a solution.

Once the level reaches a certain point in the future, it may be possible to establish coordinates in various locations, greatly saving transportation time.

In this way, a complete industrial chain is formed.

He went to the new location first, dealt with the most dangerous part, and then read the message.

Your subordinates followed up, clearing out the remaining enemies while developing resources.

Then, the resources are transported to the designated location via teleportation.

Some resources were allocated to Orochimaru for research, aiming to mass-produce the product and develop more uses, such as strengthening his subordinates.

Some of the resources can be used directly by him.

If this continues, he will grow rapidly like a snowball, not only as an individual, but also by cultivating an astonishingly powerful force, or even leading the entire six continents.

Collecting her thoughts, Lynn proceeded to the next step.

This fighting tournament was quite fruitful. Not only did he defeat Jade and his group, but his two apprentices also took down all the bosses, resulting in the acquisition of several new cards.

After the sacrifice, his points were enough to upgrade an A+ card to S-level.

He had already considered this beforehand, so he didn't hesitate and chose to upgrade his A+ level Devouring Power.

The [Power of Swallow] has multiple abilities, the most important of which is the third one: it allows one to use the Devil Fruit's abilities without any side effects.

He used the power of the Swallowing Soul to master the power of the Door-Door Fruit without any side effects.

After inquiring with the Gate of Truth, he learned that the S-rank Devouring Power would be more useful and could also enhance his Devouring ability.

For example, the Door-Door Fruit ability of an A+ rank would be upgraded to S- rank.

This is equivalent to getting two things for the price of one, which is very cost-effective.

Similar to how the Demon Blade Princess devours a famous sword.

【Name: The Power of Devouring】

[Rank: S—]

[Type: Ability Card]

[Background: One Piece]

[Introduction: Derived from the Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit, this ability has three effects. Effect 1: Amplification, further enhancing the effects of consuming food. Effect 2: Assembly, allowing two incomplete items of the same type to become whole, or to combine two items of the same type into an enhanced version; there is a chance of failure. Effect 3: Devouring, allowing the consumption of items without side effects, becoming one of the abilities. Current remaining consumption quantity: 2. Has already consumed the Door-Door Fruit.]

After being promoted to S-rank, the main abilities of the Devouring Power remain the same three, but they have all been enhanced to varying degrees.

For example, the first boost will be stronger when you eat delicious food in the future.

The second point is that splicing adds the effect of a combined, enhanced version.

For example, he can combine two Poké Balls into a more powerful Great Ball?

His main concern was the third point.

In addition to the original quota, he received two more slots with no side effects, and the surprises didn't stop there.

The effect of "no side effects" is not limited to Devil Fruits; it can also be other foods, allowing the user to enjoy the ability without experiencing any side effects.

There are quite a few foods of this type, and many of them not only have benefits, but also come with a price to pay for those benefits.

But now he doesn't have to worry anymore.

He has two full slots and can master the ability without any side effects.

Lynn then examined the changes in the Door-Door Fruit, which could also be called the Power of Doors.

Similar to the Devouring Power, the Door-to-Door Power retains the previous three effects, but all have been enhanced, such as the [Open Door] ability.

Consumption has been further reduced —

The key element is naturally the [coordinates].

Previously there was only one [coordinate], but now the maximum number has reached two.

This means he can travel quickly between two places that are far apart.

This is undoubtedly an extremely useful ability.

This perfectly aligns with his plan to conquer the Dark Continent.

The cost of teleporting to the coordinates is much lower than that of normal teleportation.

For example, if he is currently in one place on the Six Continents, and then teleports to a location half the distance of the Six Continents, the required mental energy consumption is very small, and it will be replenished by himself in no time.

Now he has two coordinates, one at home and one in the Dark Continent, which saves him a lot of trouble.

Lynn was secretly delighted; this fighting tournament was really well organized and worth the trip.

Not only did they acquire the S-rank Orochimaru and the A+ rank Mecha-maru, but they also successfully upgraded the power of Su-Su and the power of Men-Men to S-rank.

In addition, Gatomon and Gengar also benefited greatly, mainly the former.

First, Gatomon was promoted to A+ rank, gaining the ability to briefly evolve into its Ultimate form. Then, it destroyed Jade, fulfilling the "Punishing Evil and Promoting Good" effect, further enhancing its strength.

Meanwhile, in the Sky Arena.

"Lynn won!"

A faint murmur broke the silence in the audience.

Faced with the confrontation between Lynn and Jade, even though most of them couldn't understand the moves they were using.

However, you can still feel the tense atmosphere in the picture, and even the heartbeat seems to be faster.

I held my breath and focused throughout, acting as a very well-mannered "movie viewer".

Whether the fighting tournament can be held or not is no longer important to them, since they just want to see Lynn.

It's obviously better to fight this villain who appeared out of nowhere than to fight those relatively weaker landlords!

Experts fight each other, and experts fight each other.

These viewers would definitely prefer to watch the former.

Thus, under Lynn's fierce attack, Jade was "crushed to ashes".

That's when we heard that person's murmur.

Then came the scene of Lynn releasing Chairman Netero, the two of them standing proudly at the top.

Clearly, this was a resounding victory!

They could all see clearly that the man was completely vulnerable in front of Lynn's "pet".

With someone taking the lead, the rest seemed to fall into place naturally, and the audience erupted in cheers, with everyone chanting Lynn's name.

After today, the image of the strongest Lynn will be forever etched in their hearts!

Because my interest in him has completely changed!

Previously, they only liked Lynn because of his experience and strength in defeating the landlord all the way.

This stems primarily from a desire to emulate the strong.

Things are different now.

Their idol, the mighty Lynn, saved them from an attack by an unknown force.

Although they weren't harmed in the original story, the Hungry Ghost went to deal with Little Jack later.

The remaining robots were also easily defeated by Bisgei, without even needing to transform.

But they were unaware of it.

Without Bisge's intervention, they would have thought that if Lynn hadn't been there, they would probably be dead.

As a result, these people's admiration for Lynn grew even stronger!

This is a life-saving grace!

For them, Lynn was not only an idol, but also their savior.

"Phew~ Is it finally resolved?"

"But I have to say, their strength is truly terrifying!"

Bissie, sitting in her seat, breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Jade vanish into thin air, while also marveling at Lynn's terrifying power.

"Those two Nen beasts gave me such a strong sense of oppression—"

"And this is only what's on the surface; who knows if there are many more that haven't been exposed yet?"

A look of deep surprise appeared in Bisji's wine-red eyes as she rested her chin on her hands and spoke.

Lynn is really over the top!

Not only is he himself strong, but the spirit beasts he releases are also incredibly powerful, each possessing astonishing abilities.

No wonder he's the new strongest in the world!

On top.

"Wow, that's terrifying!"

Netero slowly walked over to Lynn's side, and it was clear from his facial expression that he was still shaken.

Netero pondered for a moment, then said with great emotion, "I've had this feeling before."

"It seems my hunch was right."

"With your strength, you are already capable of exploring the Dark Continent quite well—and this is only based on the strength you have shown. I'm afraid no one can know your full power."

Nitro stroked his beard, brushing off a speck of dust.

Go all out?

Lynn was thinking about many things at that moment.

He thought of all the ability cards, character cards, and item cards he possessed.

The battle with Jade was indeed intense, but in fact, he didn't use his full strength—Jade wasn't qualified yet.

Not to mention that he is growing at an astonishing rate.

Then Lynn thought about the future, about that unknown yet alluring continent, where he could obtain better cards and become stronger.

Let alone Netero.

Even he didn't know his own limits.

My future potential depends entirely on how large the Dark Continent is and how high the environmental level is.

Perhaps one day in the future, when he has more and better cards, he can become a god in the world!

Not only the six continents, but the entire Dark Continent, the vast world, is under his control.

And so, in the silence between the two, the sudden attack came to an end.

One of them was simply imagining what cards they would get in the future.

The other was so frightened by Lynn's display of strength that it took him a while to recover, which really scared the old man.

To be honest, he felt he wasn't very confident of winning against either of Lynn's two mind beasts.

Jed's death was not unjust.

The next day.

On the competition stage.

boom!

Han Jilu's sturdy body fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

The massive body fell, stirring up a gentle breeze and raising wisps of dust on the field.

"Han Jiru is down and can't get up. The winner is—the strongest Lynn!"

Seeing that Han Jiru had completely lost consciousness, the referee immediately declared Lynn the winner.

Lynn nodded slightly, then walked toward the players' tunnel.

Behind him, there were cheers and applause from countless spectators!

The enthusiasm of the people came like a tidal wave, extremely fervent.

Not only the audience at the venue, but also those watching the broadcast felt the same way.

Their idol—the strongest Lynn!

Today I have finally become the rightful champion of the fighting tournament!

Although this was an ending that everyone knew all along.

But people still couldn't hide their excitement and expressed it through words and actions.

This fighting tournament is destined to become the most influential fighting tournament in history!

Despite being attacked by Jade and his men yesterday, the Sky Arena was not significantly affected.

The only thing to mention is that the top few floors were damaged and need to be rebuilt.

As the highest floor, the 251st floor, Lynn's floor naturally suffered considerable damage as well.

However, these are minor issues, as the authorities will proactively help him rebuild.

Lynn wouldn't care about anything anymore.

If destroying a floor once would earn you an S card.

He could just tear down the entire Sky Arena, rebuild it, and then tear it down again.

Because Jade died, the power of [resentment] also completely disappeared, and those landlords were able to recover.

Aside from the injuries they sustained while fighting with Xiao Jie and the others, everyone had regained their senses.

Therefore, just like in the theatrical version, the Heaven's Arena immediately held a fighting tournament the next day.

In fact, since the players were only slightly injured, the damage to the Sky Arena only affected the highest few floors.

Neither the participants nor the venue were subject to many restrictions, so the fighting tournament could continue.

However, Lynn's involvement did change the course of events to some extent.

Because Tsunade healed Zhixi yesterday, he recovered much faster than the other hosts, who still had to go on stage with bandages on.

Therefore, Jihee's ranking in the competition improved, but she still failed to reach the top three.

First and foremost is Lynn, without a doubt.

The second is Han Jiru, who just fell to his own.

Although he didn't perform well against the hungry ghosts, Han Gilru was already one of the most powerful among these bosses.

If Lynn hadn't appeared, he would most likely have become the new champion of the fighting tournament.

But even compared to Lynn, they were still hard to look at.

He was mentally prepared; it was nominally a competition, but everyone knew in their hearts that it was just a formality.

The audience didn't say anything about the quick battle; instead, they praised it repeatedly.

After all, their main purpose in coming here was not to watch the fight, but to see Lynn officially crowned as champion!

Lynn's actions aligned with their ideas, directly accelerating the progress of the game and shortening the waiting time.

One by one, the original posters fell, while Lynn rose step by step.

In the very last match, they ascended to the championship throne.

Soon, the officials began to wrap things up, and under the watchful eyes of countless spectators, they handed the championship trophy, symbolizing the highest honor, to Lynn.

From that moment on, he became the true strongest in the Sky Arena!
