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

Chapter 249 Don't underestimate humans! The man known as the strongest!

Suddenly it appeared—is it the so-called Nen effect?

And this name—

Is he the one?

Catwoman was curious, her eyes fixed on Lynn, the words that Boku had just said flashing through her mind.

Boko believes Lynn is stronger than her.

She arrived just in time; she was trying to correct this misconception.

It seems that this person named Lynn is also an acquaintance of these people. He sensed that they were in danger through his Nen ability, so he moved here.

That's quite a coincidence; it just happened to give her the opportunity.

Catwoman was very quick-witted and figured it out in an instant.

Looking at the calm and composed Lynn, Catwoman's eyes flashed with eager anticipation. Compared to Kate, Lynn seemed more interesting.

Let her have some fun.

"Meow, did you come here to save someone?"

"I wonder who needs to be mentally prepared?"

Catwoman looked on with interest, her eyes fixed on Lynn. Even though Lynn said that, she didn't get angry.

After all, there's no need to argue about toys.

Kate > the two little ones.

Lynn is greater than Kate.

Lynn is now a much higher priority than Kate, so Catwoman's attention is focused entirely on Lynn, the biggest toy.

They disregarded everyone else.

"Mr. Lynn, please let me fight alongside you," Kate said cautiously, her Nen ability, [Crazy Joker], appearing beside her.

Although he had seen Lynn's fighting scenes on the live stream, he still didn't know Lynn personally.

And although he had never actually fought Catwoman, judging from the terrifying aura of that extreme beast and the fact that she severed his arm in an instant, Catwoman was definitely a formidable enemy.

At times like these, he had to step up and lend Lynn a hand.

Seeing this, Qi Ya quickly whispered a reminder: "Hey, you're still seriously injured, just trust Lynn now."

He knew Kate was formidable, of course, but after fighting all night and losing an arm, Kate was clearly a patient now, so he should just "rest" quietly.

Of course, this is a euphemism for surprise.

His real thought was that Kate's addition wouldn't help Lynn much; in fact, it would be a burden.

Unlike Kate, Qi had known Lynn for some time and had met him several times, including at the Sky Arena that night, so he was more aware of Lynn's strength.

Although Lynn and the others were very strong, far surpassing him, he had a keen sense of aura and could still distinguish between them.

Lynn's scent that night was far stronger than Catwoman's tonight—

It's obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.

"Is Mr. Lynn all you need?" Kate remained silent.

"Qiya is right, leave this to me."

Lynn casually remarked, walking to the edge of the grass, preparing to pick up Kate's severed hand.

It's less like it was cut off by a claw and more like it was ripped off, which shows how strong Catwoman was.

Even in a rush, it can sprint and fly over from a great distance, and then precisely tear off an arm.

Fortunately, the cross-section is fairly flat, so it's not difficult to reconnect it.

There's absolutely no need for Vanilla or the Doctor's Suitcase; Chopper and Tsunade were able to reattach the arm perfectly.

As for the medical expenses, they were naturally paid for by one of Kate's bastard mentors.

This guy is so relaxed in front of me, he's unbelievable!

Seeing that Lynn was completely unprepared, Catwoman was furious. She released her previously restrained killing intent and seized the opportunity to rush forward.

While Lynn was picking up her broken hand, she wanted to tear Lynn's hand off as well, and then enjoy the toy.

Catwoman's reaction speed is extremely fast. From thinking in her mind to acting in her body, there is only a very brief moment. It can be said that her body reacts the instant the thought is born.

Even so, this speed was still no different from a snail's pace in front of Lynn, and it was very easy to be detected.

The next moment, a powerful aura shot straight at the catwoman!

Catwoman froze, her fur standing on end, feeling as if the surrounding scenery was being distorted, creating a black, twisted space.

As if surrounded by a large, unknown object, the air around me inexplicably became thin and heavy.

Everywhere you look, there is a palpable sense of oppression.

Even breathing became difficult, and I felt a tightness in my chest.

Catwoman's pupils suddenly contracted, shrinking rapidly from their original size, and all the muscles in her body tensed up in an instant.

Beads of cold sweat quickly appeared on his head, back, and other parts of his body, and his body immediately stiffened.

She was like a corpse, unable to move a single part of her body, only able to see the terrifying image in her mind.

She vaguely saw a blurry figure, and the hazy scene produced a tremendous sense of awe.

What's terrifying isn't the image itself, but the atmosphere it evokes!

The key point was the atmosphere that made her feel like she was in an ice cellar.

Catwoman remained motionless, as if nothing had happened.

This is on the premise that you have to ignore the shrunken pupils and the already wet back.

What's completely different from her outward appearance is Catwoman's inner self.

Shock, horror—and many other emotions seemed to materialize, forming a series of raging waves that swept through Catwoman's heart.

Immediately afterwards, she was unable to maintain her standing posture, and her legs involuntarily began to bend, showing a tendency to kneel down.

The body's defense mechanisms kicked in instinctively, and the psychic energy surged wildly, trying to reach out and protect the body.

As a result, the spiritual energy in his body and the blood in his body were as if they were frozen, and they could hardly circulate!

That powerful beastly sense is frantically warning, the brain is sending out the same signal!

Run!

This is an enemy she cannot defeat!

It turns out that humans can possess such great strength.

Catwoman, a member of the newly formed Chimera Ant Guard.

Apart from the king and queen ants, she occupies the highest rank in the chimeric ant colony.

As the strongest of the three, and with her cat-like carefree attitude, Catwoman once looked down on humans.

She never believed that ant-like humans could pose a threat to her, let alone to the future supreme king.

But at this moment, this intelligent but inexperienced member of the guard team realized the error of his mind.

Humans cannot simply deal with ants. Just as there are powerful and noble queen ants as well as weak and humble soldier ants among chimeric ants, there are also strong ones among them.

The strength of these powerful individuals exceeded her expectations.

Because she was born not long ago, the catgirl had only just learned about the concept of "Nen" and had no time to grow or develop her Nen abilities. She was at the top of A+, but had not yet reached the level of an S-gatekeeper.

Therefore, under the intimidating aura of Lynn's malice, he experienced the true power of a strong person for the first time, and was deeply shocked.

Every cell in her body seemed to be telling her that she couldn't beat Lynn and had to escape as soon as possible.

Are you surprised?

Lynn suddenly spoke up, his face expressionless in the moonlight, looking at the terrified Catwoman, and calmly recounted the facts.

"You've only been in this world for a short time, and you've only just learned so much. How could you possibly understand what kind of beings humans are?"

"Your view of humanity is too one-sided and too arrogant."

"This greatly underestimates the subtext of the long history of humankind."

"How could humans possibly be something you Chimera Ants look down upon, having managed to have a place in this dangerous and cruel world and thrive for so long?"

Chimera ants are very strong, that's a fact.

That ability to mix different genes together for one's own species is quite powerful and full of possibilities.

But this does not mean that humans are inferior to chimeric ants.

It would be a grave mistake to think that the Chimera Ants came from the perilous Dark Continent, while humans stayed only in the safe and harmless Six Continents.

Who hasn't lived on the Dark Continent?

Who doesn't have a glorious past?

Human history is very long, dating back to the Dark Continent in ancient times.

Humans at that time lived on the Dark Continent, able to thrive and multiply in a place rife with countless "disasters," suggesting that they themselves could perhaps be considered a "disaster."

However, for the sake of their species, they later chose to move to the island in the middle of Lake Möbius, which is now the Six Continents.

The six continents at that time were not necessarily safe; the dangers were simply eliminated by the powerful early humans.

Some of the dangerous relics remaining on the six continents were left from that time.

Humanity subsequently lived a safe and stable life. Although their strength declined somewhat, they advanced their technology and, with their wisdom, developed modern weapons.

It's hard to say which is stronger; they're just different paths chosen under different circumstances, each with its own merits.

Even the evolved and powerful Ant King, with its exceptional individual combat strength, was no match for a mere "Poor Man's Rose" from a human.

From beginning to end, humans have only regarded the chimeric ant as an experiment, a plan, and a farce that is under their control.

Chimera ants are a Class B disaster, but humans are a higher-level disaster!

These words greatly shocked Catwoman.

So that's how it is—she really was too arrogant.

Humans are not as weak as she had previously thought; she had underestimated their capabilities and the threats they could pose!

For example, right now, she can only flee in terror from Lynn, this human being.

But Catwoman immediately realized an extremely important problem!

Catwoman revealed a crazed and ferocious look in her eyes, staring intently at Lynn.

No, she can't leave!

Even if she had the chance, she couldn't escape.

Because she also has to protect the queen ant, or more precisely, the yet-to-be-born king!

Protecting the king ant, clearing all obstacles for him, and helping him ascend to the supreme position—this is the innate mission of the Chimera Ant Guard Team, and it cannot be shaken in the slightest.

Thus began a battle between the underlying code and the will to survive, and unsurprisingly, the underlying code that protected the Ant King quickly emerged victorious.

Even if the king were born before, she would still do the same thing, even at the cost of her own life, to kill Lynn and reduce obstacles for the king.

At this moment, Catwoman is experiencing the same situation as when she faced the corrupted Gon in the original story.

A formidable foe.

The same determination.

Driven by immense conviction, the catwoman slowly bent down, forcibly enduring the oppressive aura that pressed down on her every moment. Blood-red Nen energy emanated from her body, and her face became ferocious.

Even if it means death, she will settle things with Lynn here!

Having come this far, are we still insisting on fighting?

Kate and Qi were both surprised.

Although Lynn's main target was Catwoman, the two of them could still sense a trace of her presence. Even that was enough to chill their blood and send a cold feeling through their entire bodies.

It's easy to imagine the immense pressure Catwoman was under.

They couldn't help but feel grateful again. Although they didn't know why Lynn had suddenly appeared, he had indeed saved their lives.

Otherwise, tonight would never have ended properly.

But then again, even though she was on the verge of collapsing and about to kneel down, Catwoman still forced herself to stand up and fight. Such amazing willpower is truly admirable.

Qi smirked; he was certain he would never have done such a thing in his own place.

Either escape as quickly as possible from the start.

They might be so intimidated by the aura that they lose their ability to fight.

Kate, however, thought more deeply and believed that she must have a reason to fight.

Ok?

A thought suddenly occurred to Kate.

Could it be that this cat-like chimeric ant is a so-called guardian ant?

Kate has studied all kinds of creatures, big and small, and chimeric ants are no exception. With his previous contact with chimeric ants, he has a general understanding of this special group of chimeric ants.

The hierarchical division among chimeric ants is relatively well-organized.

A division commander would have three to five squad leaders.

Each ant captain will have about ten soldier ants.

The catwoman is stronger than the chimera ants we've encountered before, but she doesn't seem to be the queen ant, so she can only be a second-tier guard ant.

Typically, before the queen chimeric ant gives birth to the king, she will lay out guard ants to protect her until the king is born.

If nothing unexpected happens, the catwoman is the guardian ant. The reason she is fighting to the death is to protect the queen ant.

Catwoman let out a hysterical, beastly roar, her eyes turning red. She briefly broke free from the restraints of her aura and charged towards Lynn, her cat claws sharp and enveloped in crimson spiritual energy.

"Ho—"

Even a seasoned A+ level expert would likely not fare well against a catwoman willing to fight to the death.

Swah—

A loud sonic boom suddenly erupted.

Almost at the same instant, Lynn turned to the side.

While dodging the catwoman's attack, he extended his right hand, covered in Armament Haki, and grabbed her arm.

The powerful force made his right hand like an inescapable iron clamp, gripping Catwoman tightly and violently throwing her to the ground!

boom!!

Like a falling meteorite, Catwoman crashed straight into the ground, creating a huge crater with a deafening roar, sending smoke and dust billowing into the sky.

The surrounding ground also shook.

Qi and Kate wisely retreated a considerable distance early on, thus avoiding being affected, but they couldn't help but twitch at the sight of the destruction Lynn had casually caused.

This is—the strongest man in the world!

In the crater, the disheveled Catwoman barely managed to stand up, her twisted right arm hanging limply, clearly broken.

Even so, she did not give up and continued to attack Lynn, even though she had only one breath left!

But dreams are beautiful, while reality is harsh.
