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

Chapter 255 The Ant King Who Wasn't "Prematurely Born"! Lynn's Nen Beast Team!

"The Poor Man's Rose," a bomb with considerable fame worldwide.

Due to its terrifying power, potent poison gas, and easily portable size, it is classified as a [banned weapon].

Even so, the dark side of the world continues to circulate.

It is not surprising that Lynn was able to obtain the poor man's rose.

Only five or six—and that's just for dealing with an ant nest—

This is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The thought that Lynn could casually produce several forbidden weapons terrified Mo Laowu and the others, especially since Lynn could even escape unscathed while using them.

Furthermore, prior to this, Lynn had listed many highly reliable methods of assassination.

This also made them realize how terrifying Lynn was.

Anyone who makes an enemy of Lynn is really in big trouble.

If someone really wants revenge, they can use a portal to get nearby, drop a poor man's rose, and then teleport away.

All that remains is the devastated site of the nuclear explosion.

No one could withstand it.

What they didn't know was that Lynn had not only prepared roses for the poor, but also even more powerful bombs, and had already made thorough preparations.

But upon closer reflection, although it sounds frightening, the poor man's rose is indeed a viable solution.

Aside from its status as a prohibited item, it is indeed very suitable for use in the current situation, especially since they can quickly move away.

"Hmm—the poor man's roses are too poisonous. It would be bad if they destroyed the surrounding environment and harmed the residents."

Netero blinked and gave an unexpected answer.

Mo Laowu and the others were shocked by the length of his chin, finding it hard to believe.

Harming residents?

There are hardly any residents left now.

The chimeric ants have already expanded their range significantly; even if there were people living nearby before, they are now definitely dead.

How could I possibly be hurt?

Now both Morel and Nob realized that Chairman Netero definitely had some reason for not wanting to deal with the Chimera Ants so quickly.

They even wanted the Ant King to be born normally.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to choose to reject all of these options.

"Old man, you've had it tough."

Lynn sighed, then looked at Mo Laowu and the others.

"You've all figured it out, haven't you? In fact, this Chimera Ant incident isn't that simple; there are many things that are unknown to others."

"In short, we can't just leave the chimera ants like this; we might have to wait for the queen ant to be born normally."

Is that so? Although Mo Laowu and Nobu were puzzled, they nodded to indicate that they understood after hearing what Lynn said and the chairman's reaction.

It seems there are indeed some hidden secrets, and they involve very important matters, so they don't even have the right to know.

Netero glanced at Lynn, a little surprised, but then quickly regained his composure, thinking it was nothing.

It's quite normal for Lynn to know some inside information.

So—I was just teasing this old man.

Netero looked helpless and continued, following Lynn's words: "Anyway, there are some reasons, so let's focus on weakening the enemy's strength first, starting with the Chimera Ants at the bottom level."

"We'll see how things go."

Now Mo Laowu and the others had a clear understanding of their mission.

Norbu crouched down, pressing his palms firmly to the ground, and a pure aura of Nen appeared on his palms.

In an instant, a dark and deep spatial rift appeared before everyone.

Norbu reached in and pulled out Mo Laowu's large pipe.

Because carrying it was too much trouble, Mo Laowu simply stored the pipe in Nob's four-dimensional apartment. This four-dimensional apartment was indeed very useful; it could not only store items, but also allow living beings to enter.

However, his spatial abilities are more comprehensive.

Gengar and Lord's Babylon can store inanimate objects, while Creation Door Sticker and Capone can store both inanimate and living objects.

The power of the gates can also be used for spatial teleportation.

"Take your time, enjoying the process of fighting is also a kind of fun."

Mo Laowu took the pipe, his face full of confidence.

With Netero and Lynn by their side, Morel, Nob, and Kate felt incredibly safe.

Now they wholeheartedly agree with Chairman Netero's decision to invite Lynn.

Without Lynn by their side, they wouldn't be as calm and collected as they are now.

"Yes, enjoy the process of fighting."

Lynn sat cross-legged on the ground, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Suddenly a strong wind arose, and a heavy sense of oppression descended upon the platform.

The powerful aura created wind pressure, causing Chairman Netero's robes to flutter loudly.

Suddenly, figures appeared behind Lynn, leaving Mo Laowu and the others speechless.

One after another, various kinds of spirit beasts appeared before them!

Despite their different sizes and appearances.

However, they all have one thing in common: their auras are terrifyingly strong!

"This is—the world's strongest Nen beast—"

Mo Laowu stared intently at the group of character cards, and under the pressure of his aura, even his voice trembled as he spoke.

Yoruichi, Zoro, Gatomon, Dragonite, and others—a total of five—are all A+ rank powerhouses without exception.

Most of the character cards he has now are A+ grade.

Faced with a large number of Chimera Ants, Lynn plans to release his character cards and loot them thoroughly.

"Wow, that's really cool!"

A glint of light flashed in Netero's eyes as he muttered something to himself.

Lynn's Nen Beast also stirred his fighting spirit.

"Mo Laowu, you just release the Purple Smoke Field, and leave the rest to them."

Lynn said to Mo Laowu beside him that he would give all the Chimera Ants to his character cards, and he only needed to make a venue.

With the purple smoke field, his character card will be better concealed, and it also has the effect of interfering with perception and signals.

This prevents the chimeric ants from being scared away all at once.

"Yes, it is my honor to fight alongside Mr. Lynn."

Mo Laowu readily agreed.

He had originally planned to create the Purple Smoke Rabbit to explore the area, but since Lynn said so, he changed his mind.

As Mo Laowu's chest heaved dramatically, puffs of white smoke drifted toward the distant forest.

Mo Laowu was like a ruthless smoke-making machine, endlessly repeating the same few monotonous actions.

Smoking, exhaling smoke, and controlling the white smoke to drift forward—that's all there is to it.

After exhaling the white smoke, Mo Laowu used his mental energy to control it, making it drift around.

Only a small amount of Nen energy is hidden within the white smoke, which can be used to sense enemies, achieving an effect similar to [En], expanding the range of perception.

It consumes a small amount of energy to achieve the effect of a "circle", and the range is much larger, making it very suitable for exploration.

Moreover, the white smoke containing Nen can be transformed into a weapon at crucial moments.

This ability combines reconnaissance and attack, making it quite practical, mainly because Mo Laowu himself made good use of it.

Morel is not Smoker from One Piece, and he cannot become an elemental.

He simply uses his ability to manipulate mental energy and his exceptionally large lung capacity to control the large amounts of smoke he exhales to achieve his various goals.

They managed to make an ordinary ability incredibly versatile.

There are [Purple Smoke Mechs] and [Purple Smoke Clones] responsible for the attack.

There are [Purple Smoke Rabbits] and [Purple Smoke Grounds] responsible for reconnaissance.

Besides these, he can also manipulate white smoke to create tough "ropes" and indestructible "cages" —

With his inherent strength and formidable combat intelligence, Morel is a well-rounded fighter, capable of both offense and support, which is why he was chosen by Netero.

Lynn and the others watched quietly as Mo Laowu set up the venue.

In the original work, Mo Laowu and others used this tactic to wage guerrilla warfare.

Mo Laowu's arrangement of the purple smoke field will disrupt the communication and line of sight among the chimera ants.

Nobu had set up a series of Nen portals, each resembling a "four-dimensional apartment," in the forest beforehand; anyone who stepped on one would fall into it.

Chairman Netero stays in the [Four-Dimensional Apartment], where he is responsible for dealing with any Chimera Ants that come in.

Now that Lynn has joined, we don't need to go through all that trouble.

Apart from the venue being set up as usual, everything else was handled by the character cards.

The next second, the figures of the character cards all disappeared.

The stage is all set up, and we're just waiting for the show to begin.

"Oh?"

The catwoman, sitting cross-legged on the rock pillar, looked out at the distant forest, which had turned from pitch black to a vast expanse of white.

A large cloud of white smoke appeared out of nowhere.

The catwoman gently bit her finger, her tail swaying back and forth, her large, bright eyes filled with curiosity.

He instinctively stood up, gazing into the distance at the white woods.

In reality, their attention was focused on the other side of the hole.

-

New guard members?

She obeys the king's orders and monitors the ant colony from top to bottom.

"It seems to be an enemy tactic."

Just then, a rather magnetic voice came from the hole that Catwoman was watching.

Catwoman turned her head slightly, and a figure stood in the shadows, the soft moonlight not shining on him.

"Just wait until the enemy gets close to the ant nest before taking them out."

Catwoman said with a tone of sudden realization, "That's true, it could be a trap."

"By the way, who are you?"

As Oyapuf slowly emerged from the shadows, the moonlight finally shone upon him, revealing his appearance to the catwoman.

Yapf has an effeminate appearance, blond hair, and wears a crisp shirt and trousers; he is clearly a highly intelligent character.

From this perspective, Shayapof is somewhat like a combination of Kurapika and Pariston.

However, as a chimeric ant, it still retains animal characteristics.

Among his blond hair were a pair of protruding antennae, and most noticeably, a pair of large wings on his back.

It was a pair of rather magnificent wings, with black edges and colorful patterns; they were huge butterfly wings.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiaoyapf."

""

"Like you, I am also part of the direct guard unit."

"The remaining Mentutu Youpi is about to be born."

"I speak slowly and deliberately," said Xiao Yapufu, exuding an elegant air.

The king ant's direct guard consists of three chimera ants.

They are Neferpitou, Yapf, and Mentutu Yupi.

Among the three, Catwoman is the most well-rounded in all aspects and has the strongest overall abilities.

Yapf represents the intelligence of the three and is also more human in nature, occasionally playing the violin and feeling sentimental.

Mengtutu Youpi is the most skilled in combat among the three, but because he lacks human genes, his intelligence is not high.

Each of the three has its own advantages, but each also has fatal flaws.

Catwoman is too curious and playful.

Shayapouf is usually calm, but he loses his composure whenever something involves the Ant King.

Mengtutu Youpitu has strength but lacks intelligence, making him vulnerable in battles against Nen users.

The three chimera ants, as the direct guard, are different from the other chimera ants.

They have always been loyal to the king ant, not the queen ant.

That's why Shayapuf said to ignore it and only attack when the enemy gets close to the ant nest.

Because they only value the queen ant inside her abdomen; once the queen ant is born, it becomes useless.

"Is that so?"

Catwoman straightened up, turned around and walked into the ant nest, her tail swishing behind her.

"I'll leave this place to you. I'm going to find some fun."

Besides monitoring the ant colony, Catwoman has another task.

She can use her status to attack division commanders and corps captains at will, thereby obtaining cards.

And the sooner the better, because the Chimera Ants are not very strong at this time. They will become stronger after they develop Nen abilities, and there will be a chance to kill two birds with one stone.

So Lynn's plan is to have external character cards and internal Catwoman cards.

First, defeat all the division commanders and squad leaders in the Chimera Ants to get the first card. If there's an opportunity, steal them away from the outside.

Then, after the Ant King leaves, pack up the remaining division commanders and corps captains and take them with you. Once they become stronger, unleash the second card.

Even Catwoman can challenge Owl Yapof and Mentoto Yupi, who haven't yet broken through to S-rank, and has a chance to get two cards.

The former should be fine, the latter might be a bit more difficult, but it's not impossible.

Shayapuf didn't find anything wrong and thought it was normal for the catwoman to be so busy, after all, she was a cat-type chimera ant.

The catwoman entered the ant nest.

It's nighttime now, and some of the chimeric ants that went out have returned.

This also includes division commanders.

The catwoman didn't search much before she found a division commander.

"You, fight a match with me."

Catwoman pointed to the leopard Guido and said calmly.

Guido is a leopard-like chimera ant, resembling a humanoid cheetah with a tall and slender build.

Its chest and thighs are covered with white fur, and its head is covered with long purple hair.

Because he has leopard genes in his body, Guido possesses an extraordinary talent for speed.

It can reach speeds of 200 km/h or even higher in an instant.

As one of the division commanders, Guido's greatest strength is speed.

Upon hearing Catwoman's words, Guido's first reaction was to run away, but he quickly realized he couldn't do that.

"Lord Neferpitou, I—"

Guido had barely uttered half a sentence when the catwoman appeared in front of him in an instant.

So fast!

They're much faster than him! Is this the strength of the guard team?!

Guido was shocked and was sent flying the next moment, crashing straight into the rock wall behind him and losing consciousness.

Catwoman gave it a cold glance, then continued her search for a target.

This is all for the supreme king!

Time slips away quietly.

The two little ones continued to train with Bisge in town.

Lynn and the others carried out their mission at a leisurely pace.

A month later.

In a hidden cave not far from the ant nest.

Lynn and his five companions are gathered here.

"So far, everything is going very smoothly."

Mo Laowu sat cross-legged on the ground, gazing leisurely into the distance, feeling that this trip had been far too easy.

During this period, it was mainly Lynn's Nen beasts that did the work.

No chimeric ant can escape its clutches.

The soldier ants were killed on the spot, while the division commander and the squad leader were knocked unconscious and taken away.

There are thirty division commanders in the Chimera Ants.

During this period, nearly half of the quantity was taken away by Lynn.

The same applies to the squad leader.

This is a major blow to the chimeric ant colony.

"Wow, the young people are so capable that I, an old man, don't even have a chance to stretch my muscles."

Inside the cave.

Netero remarked as he placed a chess piece.

"Old man, these chimera ants aren't strong enough to make you move your muscles. You'd need at least a few guards, wouldn't you?"

Lynn smiled and placed the last piece, blocking Netero's path.

"Ugh, this is so boring, I'm not playing anymore."

Once Netero realized he had lost, he decided not to continue playing, acting like a playful old man.

"The guard team? Those three are indeed not to be underestimated."

"Even when I look at them from a great distance, they give me a chill down my spine."

Norb, standing nearby, recalled the previous scene and couldn't help but sigh.

"President, we've almost finished dealing with the henchmen. Shouldn't we make our move on the guards?"

According to the experts' analysis, the ant king will be born in about a month.

Shinnobu quickly reminded Netero that things would get complicated if they waited until the Ant King was born.

Or do we really have to wait until the King Ant is born?

Isn't that too risky?

"Hehehe, only one month left?"

Netero's tone was full of meaning, and only Lynn understood what the old man was thinking.

The others thought they must have misheard.

Why does Chairman Netero sound like he's eager to try?

Lynn was equally excited.

Others were unaware, but he knew what he had done.

In the original story, the Ant King was actually just a premature baby.

Despite the queen ant's objections, it was born against its will, and thus inevitably has some inherent deficiencies.

This is a regret for him.

However, given the Ant King's personality, it's unlikely that it would obediently wait until its due date to be born; it will always be born prematurely.

So he threw several monster corpses he had collected during his adventures in the Demon Realm outside the ant nest. Without exception, they all contained high energy, and in the end, they were all taken back by the chimera ants that went out.

It's much better than Explosive Kur.

Since premature birth was inevitable, he made up for the ant king's congenital deficiencies in this way, making the ant king even more anticipated.

The group was chatting.

Suddenly, an aura filled with violence and bloodshed shot into the sky!

This was an extremely terrifying aura; any living being would involuntarily submit to its overwhelming force.

It seems to be a born king, and its inherent aura makes creatures feel humble from the bottom of their hearts, and they must obey it.

An icy aura, as if plunging one into a freezer, spread outwards from the anthill, encompassing an area of ​​countless miles.

The cave where Lynn and his companions were located was no exception.

Mo Laowu and Nobu exchanged a glance, both seeing the panic in each other's eyes.

The King Ant has been born!
