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

Chapter 260 Subduing the Queen Ant! A Toy That Turns People into Divine Healers!

Become the subordinate of the person in front of you, and you will become stronger!

Merleon was experiencing a surge of emotions.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Lynn, the strongest person in the world today, with immense influence throughout the world," Mo Laowu introduced with a smug look on his face. "You can completely trust what he says."

"If he can say he'll make you stronger, then he really has that ability."

In fact, given Lynn's current reputation, nine out of ten people across the six continents have heard of him.

Unfortunately, the residents of NGL belong to the remaining category.

Living in this primitive agricultural environment, without any modern products, the way to communicate was by writing letters, and the way to travel was by horseback.

Most people spend their entire lives confined to the few mountains surrounding their hometown, unaware of what happens in places a little further away, let alone outside of NGL country.

Therefore, even if Merleon and the others regained their memories, they would not recognize Lynn, because they had never heard of him before.

But that didn't stop them from being surprised by Mo Laowu's words.

【The World's Strongest】As the name suggests, it refers to the most powerful person in the world, the only person standing at the very top of billions of people.

They were originally just ordinary people in a remote little country, and now they actually had the opportunity to see such people in person. They were truly fortunate.

Not to mention working under him.

For a moment, Bi Hong and the others were filled with excitement and emotion.

Such an important person could very well cure them.

Therefore, what just happened is not surprising.

Given that it was the world's strongest force that attacked, it's understandable that Zazan and his allies couldn't resist.

Merleon, who already had his own ambitions, made up his mind and immediately expressed his desire to become Lynn's subordinate.

It won't miss this valuable opportunity!

"Okay, I believe you won't regret your decision today in the future."

Lynn nodded calmly. Although it was just a simple sentence, it gave people great confidence, and you could hear the confidence behind it.

It's no exaggeration to say that with his current abilities and resources, supporting someone's growth would be an extremely easy task.

Even to the point of becoming number one in the world.

He is confident that he can compete with a major power like V5 in this regard.

Putting everything else aside, the very ability to awaken one's culinary instincts is an extremely terrifying thing, no less so than the hope found on the Dark Continent.

After all, although the food cells are cultivated from scratch, the initial amplification effect will not be too strong, but the potential is extremely high.

As long as you work hard enough, you will have the opportunity to gradually see the creatures on the Dark Continent as aids to your growth.

Eat B-level creatures, then A-level creatures, and then even higher-level creatures.

At that time, what determines one's upper limit will no longer be one's own talent, but the Hunter x Hunter world itself. As long as there are strong enough creatures to eat, one can continue to grow stronger.

And the gourmet cells are just one of the many ways he can become stronger.

That's why he had the confidence to say such a thing.

After finishing the first task, Lynn walked to the center of the room, to the side of the dying queen ant, under everyone's gaze.

It must be said that the Queen Ant truly lives up to her reputation as a creature of the Dark Continent. Even with such severe injuries, she has not died yet, demonstrating remarkable resilience.

Unlike their offspring, the queen ant is a true chimeric ant.

At least in appearance, it doesn't show any genetic material from other organisms; it's more like a normal chimeric ant queen enlarged to human size.

At this moment, the queen ant lay on the cold ground, her lower body covered in dark green blood, her injuries quite severe.

This is understandable, after all, reproduction is no small matter, especially since it was pregnant with the queen ant not long ago.

Even though the queen ant breeds many chimeric ants, it is all just preparation to fulfill her mission. Her only purpose from beginning to end is to give birth to the king ant.

Before that, the birth of soldier ants, soldier captains, and even division commanders was merely to obtain more food so that they could have enough nutrition to breed the queen ant and protect themselves and the queen ant in the fetal form during the process.

Once the queen ant gives birth to the king ant, she loses the ability to reproduce. However, if the reproduction is normal, the queen ant should not be in any danger to her life.

The current fate of the queen ant is mainly due to the indifferent nature of the king ant. He doesn't care about the queen ant and would rather "kill" her than be born in an unconventional way.

That's why the queen ant is in her current state; in the original story, even receiving treatment from a top-tier team couldn't save her, and there was nothing that could be done.

But things are different now.

Because he made a move.

Lynn glanced at the queen ant, then a handbag appeared between his hands. He opened it and took out a stethoscope.

Seeing that Lynn was going to treat the queen ant, everyone focused their attention, curious about how he would cure her and whether he would succeed.

Given the Queen Ant's current condition, even the top medical technologies of the six continents would struggle to save her, unless special methods are used.

For example, 【念】

The "Breath of the Archangel" from Greed Island can probably achieve this.

Meanwhile, Merleon and his companions, who were still ignorant country bumpkins, felt that this was an impossible, hellish task.

This is so good that saving someone is like bringing them back to life.

In fact, apart from Corrudo, the feelings of Bihong and the others are very complicated. After regaining their human memories, they no longer have such a strong desire to save the queen ant.

It's not that I don't want to save them, it's just that my feelings are more complicated, and my willingness to help has been somewhat diminished.

Having just regained their memories, a fierce struggle is raging within them between their human thoughts and their identity as chimeric ants.

Compared to the Chimera Ants, Netero and his group, although they knew Lynn was confident, still couldn't help feeling strange.

Isn't it supposed to be vanilla?

They thought Lynn was going to use herbs to treat the queen ant.

In fact, Lynn pulled out the [Doctor's Suitcase], which was even more powerful than Vanilla!

Strictly speaking, a doctor's briefcase has two functions.

A stethoscope used for diagnosing illnesses.

The medicine used to treat patients.

The latter has a limit on the number of times it can be used, but the former does not. In other words, with the doctor's briefcase in hand, he can completely transform into a miracle doctor and diagnose any strange and difficult disease.

However, limitations will be imposed when it comes to the treatment phase.

Lynn placed the stethoscope on the queen ant and soon obtained information about her condition.

[Patient: A special chimeric ant queen]

[Condition: Severe injuries, primarily involving bodily damage, extensive abdominal lacerations, and severe blood loss —]

[Treatment Option 1: Heal the injury, but lost functions cannot be restored]

[Required potion: 5%]

[Treatment Option Two: Complete cure, including restoration of lost functions]

[Required potion: 10%]

Lynn couldn't help but sigh at how terrible the props sold in 22nd-century department stores were; even the doctor's briefcase was just a toy for children playing doctor games.

This toy can easily diagnose other people's illnesses and even provide miraculous medicine that can instantly cure patients.

Even though his doctor's briefcase wasn't as good as the original, it was still very impressive. He quickly analyzed the queen ant's condition and provided two treatment options.

Option one only restores the queen ant's health, but prevents her from reproducing.

Option two would allow it to continue reproducing.

It can even specify in detail the medicines required for different treatment plans.

That's why he used a doctor's briefcase instead of vanilla.

Herbs can cure all diseases, but he was unsure how much would be needed to cure the queen ant, or whether it would restore her lost functions.

He saved the queen ant not because the chimeric ant cried for help.

What does the death of the queen ant have to do with him? Wouldn't it be better if this man-eating monster died?

He saves the queen ant simply to use her for his own purposes, so that she can continue to reproduce chimeric ants. If she no longer has any function, she has no value.

Just to be on the safe side, he used the doctor's briefcase.

He hadn't used any of the medicine in the doctor's briefcase since he got it, since there was no way to replenish it yet, and every drop used was a drop less.

The total is 100%, and it will take 10% to fully restore the queen ant. Although it hurts a little to take one-tenth of the cost, it is still a worthwhile deal.

But before that, Lynn took out a Poké Ball.

Now that the queen ant is on the verge of death, it's the perfect opportunity to capture her.

Judging from the previous case with the catwoman, the creatures captured by the Poké Ball will exist in the form of character cards rather than ordinary creatures, which is more conducive to her training.

Having finally obtained a powerful ant queen, it's natural to turn her into a character card to make it easier to strengthen her.

The higher the queen ant's rank, the stronger the chimeric ants she breeds will naturally be.

As expected, the queen ant was powerless to resist and was easily subdued.

He then released the queen ant, took out a pill made from medicine from the doctor's briefcase, and fed it to her.

In an instant, the queen ant's body emitted a fluorescent green light.

Visibly, the queen ant's shocking injuries were healing rapidly, at a speed that left Netero and the others astonished.

Is the treatment that fast?

And why isn't it made with vanilla?

If it were the legendary vanilla that produced this effect, it wouldn't have surprised them so much, but Lynn didn't use vanilla; instead, he used a method they didn't know about.

That's really exaggerated.

Clearly, the briefcase is most likely a kind of Nen tool, which also explains the unassuming stethoscope from earlier.

If it were a regular stethoscope, Lynn would have no reason to take it out and use it.

Furthermore, since Lynn was already known for his skill in using Nen tools, Netero and the others immediately assumed that it was a Nen tool with powerful healing abilities.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Netero thought to himself, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Is there really a Nen tool comparable to [Hope]?

Should I say that Lynn is truly worthy of the name?

During the treatment, two figures walked out of the cave entrance next to them.

One is Pudding, and the other is a seemingly ordinary soldier ant.

"They've finally arrived." Lynn looked at Brin, who nodded slightly.

"What is this?" Mo Laowu asked subconsciously, wondering what was so special about the soldier ant that Lynn had brought.

Lynn then went to Corrudo's side and patted him on the shoulder in acknowledgment.

"Go take a look; that's someone you should pay more attention to than the queen ant."

When Crudo looked in the direction Lynn indicated with a questioning gaze, he felt a strange emotion welling up inside him.

It was a very complex emotion; it didn't quite understand why it felt this way.

The soldier ants stood there obediently, and it was clear that they were rather timid.

It shouldn't have seen this soldier ant before, so why does it have this feeling?

"That's your sister, Lena!"

Lynn's words were like a thunderclap, completely waking Corudhor.

At this moment, the soldier ant's appearance overlapped with the young Lena's figure, gradually merging together.

"Lena—my little sister—"

Corudo's eyes began to glaze over, and two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks as he walked step by step toward Rena.

At this moment, Lena also recognized Corrudo, even though she was still a little girl.

She could still recognize her brother, who had become the chimera ant queen; perhaps this was a connection between siblings.

The usually timid and anxious Rena finally mustered up her courage and hugged Corrudo as he approached.

Feeling Reina's embrace, Corudo's tears flowed like a burst dam.

It knew that this was indeed its beloved younger sister, Lena.

Lena is alive!

"Lena, I'm sorry—your brother failed to protect you."

"It's all my brother's fault."

Corudo kept apologizing, and Rena wanted to comfort her brother, but couldn't find the words.

Because she was too young when she was eaten, Lena became a low-level soldier ant who couldn't speak.

It's actually his sister?!

Mo Laowu and the others looked surprised, not expecting that it was actually Kou Luduo's sister.

"Because my younger sister was too young when she was eaten, she has now become a soldier ant that can't even speak."

Normally, soldier ants containing human genes can speak, while those that cannot speak are low-level soldier ants created from animal genes.

However, because Lena was too young, she couldn't speak, just like the other soldier ants.

"Cludo is only eight years old, and his sister is several years younger than him."

Lynn's serious tone caused the surprise on Mo Laowu's and his companion's faces to slowly fade, replaced by gloomy expressions.

These two little children, so young, have turned out like this.

"Clue has always had the idea of ​​protecting his sister since he was a child."

"Even after transforming into chimera ants, the concept of 'guardian' did not disappear."

"After losing most of his human memories, his sense of protection was transferred to the queen ant."

Mo Laowu and his companions remained silent, their expressions growing increasingly grim, their fists clenching unconsciously.

Although they have handled it well so far, it is undeniable that the chimeric ant incident has caused many tragedies.

The Corudo siblings are just one example.

Because he has the memories of the original work, he specially arranged for the character card to find Rena and bring her to Cordo.

This can be considered a slight improvement to the tragedy.

The touching story of the brother and sister's reunion deeply moved everyone present.

Merleon also thought of his godfather, Peggy, once again.

The silence didn't last long; the queen ant was quickly healed.

Lynn immediately checked the ant queen's panel.
