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

Chapter 250 Catwoman: Lynn is the King! The Truth About the Chimera Ants!

Only a short while has passed since the battle began.

But Catwoman has experienced despair many times.

She really tried her best, but she couldn't even hurt Lynn, let alone kill him, or even touch him!

Lynn's strength far surpassed hers, and he could easily dodge her full-force attacks. She even thought that even if the attacks hit, they probably wouldn't have much effect.

In contrast, Lynn could easily injure her with a single blow.

The gap between them is like an insurmountable chasm.

"Hehe————"

The catwoman was panting heavily, her breath weak.

At this moment, she no longer possessed the composure she had when she severed Kate's arm.

The confident, arrogant catwoman who looked down on most beings and treated them merely as toys for her amusement has vanished.

Instead, there was a catwoman covered in wounds, bleeding profusely, her face contorted in despair, her eyes dark and brooding.

Catwoman struggled to throw another punch at Lynn, who was right in front of her, but a feeling of powerlessness washed over her.

Peng.

Catwoman fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

She felt like she couldn't control her body anymore, gradually losing consciousness, and even wanted to sleep.

This is a special abnormal status gift package that Lynn arranged for Catwoman in order to increase the capture rate. It includes poison, paralysis and sleep.

Shayapov is not strong in combat and is easily swayed by his emotions.

Although Mengtu Tuyoupi is skilled in combat, he lacks any human genes and is entirely composed of mixed magical beast genes, making him not very intelligent and easily manipulated by highly intelligent enemies.

Relatively speaking, Catwoman is undoubtedly the strongest of the three guards in terms of overall ability.

It possesses strong combat capabilities and excels in reconnaissance. It can unleash a two-kilometer-long "circle" and has even developed the "Toy Repairer," which combines healing and control functions.

Furthermore, she is currently within the A-level range, not the S-level. She can quickly grow to the S-level by simply using an A+ level high-grade ball to capture her without much effort.

It is a very cost-effective Pokémon target.

So Lynn plans to tame Catwoman.

Seeing that Catwoman could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, staring at him with empty, lifeless eyes, Lynn squatted down and slowly said, "The Ant King will come into this world."

"I can guarantee that."

"Is this true?" Catwoman's lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't utter a sound. Her consciousness was also very blurry, but Lynn had no reason to lie to her about this.

I hope it's true.

But Catwoman, who should have been relieved, had an indescribable feeling—Lynn was too strong, so strong that she even doubted for a moment whether Wang Ye could beat Lynn.

This was a thought that shouldn't have even crossed her mind as a guard.

But now she can't control her emotions well anymore.

After all, she was about to die.

Regardless, Catwoman felt somewhat relieved after hearing Lynn's words, and finally, unable to hold on any longer, she closed her eyes, exuding an aura of death.

The next moment, Lynn threw a high-powered ball that hit Catwoman.

Catwoman transformed into a streak of red light and was captured inside the ball.

The advanced ball wobbled slightly.

Two times.

Then, under Lynn's gaze, it made a crisp sound.

He successfully tamed Neferpitou!

Logically speaking, it should be easy for an A+ grade advanced ball to capture targets of A+ grade or lower.

But Catwoman's situation is special, very close to S-level goalkeeper, so Lynn is really unsure of the outcome.

To this end, he specifically arranged various abnormal states to improve the capture rate.

In reality, unlike in games where there are no restrictions on a single abnormal status, you can't deal with all of them.

Then it was also stated that the Ant King would be successfully born, dispelling Catwoman's obsession.

He felt that this should have some effect.

In conclusion, he successfully won over the catwoman.

The only downside was that the catwoman didn't drop any cards.

However, the Ultra Ball card that captured the catwoman changed, transforming her into a character card, allowing him to see the specifics.

Name: Neferpitou the Catwoman

Grade: A+

[Type: Character Card]

[Background: Hunter x Hunter]

[Description: A pet captured by a High Ball, a member of the Chimera Ant Guard from the Dark Continent. Possesses formidable combat power and potential, with considerable adaptability. Unwaveringly loyal to its chosen king (Lynn), swearing to serve him to the death.]

From the moment the catwoman was subdued, the king in her heart changed from the yet-to-be-born Meruem to him.

These can be treated like character cards for characters like Zoro.

Because the catwoman was seriously injured, Lynn released her back to the spot and had Tsunade and Chopper treat her.

Since these are all just physical injuries, normal treatment methods are sufficient.

Kate and Killua exchanged surprised glances upon seeing this.

This means... the catwoman has been controlled?

"Mr. Lynn, what is this?" Kate asked, slightly surprised.

"As you can see, I've already won her over; she's one of my own."

"I see—" Kate fell silent.

To casually toss a ball and be able to tame such a powerful Chimera Ant as its pet, one would say it truly deserves to be called the world's strongest, wouldn't you say?

Kate also recalled the "Fall Expert Z" that Lynn had shown during the live broadcast that night.

It seems that claim is true.

Legend has it that Lynn is not only powerful and versatile, but also possesses many Nen beasts and Nen tools, each with miraculous effects.

That ball must have been one of them.

Lynn casually said, "Chopper, put his hand back."

"Okay." Chopper walked over carrying his little suitcase.

Tsunade is enough for Nekomamushi.

After Tsunade was promoted to S-rank, the effect of using the Palm Healing Technique was also stronger than before.

Chopper can handle Kate's side, as he is a highly skilled doctor and has invented many new medicines during his research.

This also includes a powerful healing potion made using a small amount of herbs.

So let alone reattaching a recently severed arm, even more serious injuries are no problem for it.

"Mr. Lynn, this—" Kate was a little flattered.

"Don't be nervous, I'll ask Jin for the medical expenses." Lynn waved her hand.

Kate was taken aback upon hearing this, then thanked him.

At the same time, she was thinking to herself that she didn't know when she would be able to see her master again, and that she would return the medical expenses then.

Not only his son, Little Jack, but even Kate, who is his apprentice, may not have seen her master for many years and is also searching for Gold.

While receiving treatment, Kate said, "Speaking of which, why did Mr. Lynn show up?"

"Yeah, that really startled me," Qi Ya chimed in.

Xiao Jie, who had been knocked unconscious by Qi, was fast asleep on the ground.

Kee's chop to the neck was quite severe; Gon wouldn't wake up until at least the next day.

Lynn explained the whole story simply, and the two of them finally understood.

It turned out that Lynn had anticipated this and had made preparations in advance.

The two thanked her again solemnly, as if Lynn was their savior. Without Lynn's appearance, they would never have been able to deal with Catwoman.

Kate then talked about Lynn's next plans, whether or not to continue the investigation with them and destroy the ant nest.

Kate's expression was serious: "If I'm not mistaken, she is the guardian ant of the chimera ants, specifically responsible for protecting the queen and king."

"If even the guard ants are this powerful, it's hard to imagine how terrifying the queen ant must be. Its birth would pose a threat to humanity."

"We have to end all this before the Ant King is born."

Kate is very anxious.

If the guard ants are like this, what kind of monster must the ant king be?

Qi also frowned, sharing the same thought as Kate.

Such monsters would be extremely dangerous if they appeared on the six continents.

Lynn, however, remained calm and said something that surprised the two of them.

"We don't need to stop it."

"The King Ant will come into this world."

"The reasons for this are numerous and complex, involving various forces, so I cannot explain them in detail."

To be fair, he was happy to see the ant king born, as it was more advantageous for him.

But there are many other reasons as well.

He already had some suspicions about the truth behind this matter, and after turning Pariston into a puppet, he gained a more specific understanding of the reason.

To outsiders, the chimeric ant incident appeared to be an accidental disaster.

A unique chimeric ant monster triggered a series of unforeseen events.

Let alone those who know the inside story, anyone who knows about the existence of the Dark Continent will realize how absurd this is after understanding the situation and thinking about it carefully.

It seems like an accident, but there are "a lot" of coincidences.

It just so happens that it was a queen ant capable of reproduction.

It just so happens that it passed by the vast Lake Möbius and is still alive.

It just so happens to have ended up in the NGL Autonomous State, which is the most suitable place for the development of Chimera Ants —

The sheer number of coincidences is enough to show that it was not a coincidence at all, but a premeditated event.

This person's actions would involve multiple top forces and powerful individuals from six continents.

First, there's the bet between Netero of the Hunter Association and his son, Byondo.

Secondly, the King of the Kakin Empire, Twice-Cooked Meat, is an ally of Byand and wants to take this opportunity to kill Netero to facilitate his cooperation with Byand.

Thirdly, V5 wanted to test humanity's current ability to handle disasters, so they specifically chose the most suitable location, the NGL Autonomous Country, which also served to achieve their goal of purging the country.

The NGL Autonomous Republic is a very strange country.

It is located at the western end of the Commonwealth of Barusa Mitne, and its borders are surrounded by the ocean.

Because the vast majority of the people inside are members of the NeoGreenLife team.

Therefore, this country was named the NGL Autonomous Republic.

Their slogan is to completely abandon mechanical civilization and live in nature.

Therefore, the people living here lead the same life as those in the old days, with men farming and women weaving.

There is absolutely no high-tech stuff to be seen on the surface; people travel by horseback.

The most common form of settlement is the village, and a vast country is made up of countless small villages.

High-tech products are not allowed in this country, and mobile phones are out of the question.

Therefore, it can be said to be the most suitable place for the Chimera Ants to develop in the entire six continents.

Here, it is difficult for any breaking news to reach the outside world in a timely manner, and most of the communication between people is only within the village.

Chimera ants continued to encroach outwards from deep within the NGL Autonomous State until they grew so large that people no longer knew about them.

Ordinary farmers couldn't defeat them, and even armed soldiers couldn't defeat many ordinary chimeric ants.

This country, which claims to have "completely abandoned mechanical civilization," has armed soldiers.

The NGL Autonomous Country appears to be a green country, but in reality, it is being used as a place to hide factories.

Countless addictive pills are manufactured here and then distributed to various parts of the six continents. These soldiers are also used to guard the factory.

The mastermind behind this "poisonous" country is Zayro.

The contrast between the surface and the hidden world is quite surprising.

Therefore, V5 had long had the idea of ​​dealing with NGL to achieve its own goals, and it just so happened to be using Chimera Ant as a tool.

It is said that even the Department of Transportation and the "gatekeepers" responsible for liaison have their own ideas.

Hunter Association, V5, Kakin Empire, Ferry Hall, [Gatekeeper] ————

The chimeric ant incident was never accidental, but rather a solution formed by multiple forces working together to achieve their own goals.

Even without chimera ants, other disasters can still occur.

It's just that they chose chimeric ants.

He can make a move; with his strength, he could easily wipe out even an anthill with Catwoman inside, let alone the current anthill.

But it's hard to say whether new disasters will occur later.

In the original story, Netero was fully aware of this, so even though a single "Rose of the Poor" could have solved the problem, he simply dragged it out, ultimately ending this power struggle with his own life.

Snapped.

A crackling sound came from the campfire around which Lynn and the others were sitting.

Lynn only revealed a little bit, without explaining everything.

But that was enough for Kate and Qi to understand the situation.

Kate, in particular, finally had her previous doubts answered.

During his investigation, he discovered that chimeric ants were most likely creatures from the Dark Continent, and also found several coincidences.

It's one thing to survive and end up on the Six Continents.

It happens to be the NGL Autonomous Country, the most suitable among countless countries for the development of chimeric ants.

He also felt something was wrong.

It wasn't until he heard Lynn's explanation tonight that he finally understood.

So that's how it is. The appearance of the chimeric ants was arranged by the higher-ups in humanity.

That makes sense.

Having learned that the Chimera Ants are still useful and that there's no need to continue the pursuit, what should they do next?

"Let's call it a day. We'll discuss the rest once we regroup," Lynn said. "The Chimera Ant extermination team will arrive in NGL tomorrow."

"Chimera Ant Extermination Team? x2"

Kate and Keith were both a little curious.

"Yes, it's a small team organized by the association, and I'm one of the members."

"Although the number is small, they are all elites."

Lynn mentioned it casually, and then saw the healed catwoman walking towards him.

"king!"

Catwoman knelt on one knee, her eyes burning with fervor as she looked at Lynn, her face displaying a fanatical, pilgrimage-like expression.

"Please let me know if you need anything, and I will do my best for Your Majesty!"

At this moment, even if Lynn asked Catwoman to commit suicide, she would carry it out without the slightest hesitation. This loyalty is even stronger than Catwoman's loyalty to the Ant King in the original story.

Lynn is her queen!
