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

Chapter 269 S-Class Black Sperm! The Ant King's Attention!

In the wilderness, some distance from the palace.

The overlapping roars echoed.

The bright moonlight illuminated Xiao Yapuf's distorted face.

At this moment, he remained in a dispersed state, transforming into hundreds of small individuals flying in the air, yet subconsciously revealing the same anger and confusion—

This is one of his Nen abilities, the Lord of the Flies, which allows him to break his body down into countless tiny individuals.

This ability can be used to dodge enemy attacks, monitor enemies, control enemies, and so on.

However, the entity that controls all the Poufs must be at least the size of a fly, hence the name "Lord of the Flies".

Even though some of the Poufs were hit, quite a few survived and are all staring intently at the Neferpitou in the sky.

At that moment, the catwoman was suspended in mid-air, her joints connected by Nen threads, with a [Puppeteer] made of Nen behind her.

That's why she was able to hover in the air.

Just now, she seized the opportunity to strike the flying Owl Yapf, successfully scattering a portion of the Little Pof.

Answer me!

"Neferpitou! Are you going to betray the King?!"

"Unforgivable!"

The multiple small Poufs quickly merged into the usual Owl Apof, which was staring at the catwoman with a pair of bloodshot eyes that looked extremely terrifying, and its tone was unusually frightening.

At the same time, the wings that had been folded behind Xiao Yapuf suddenly unfolded.

Those were a pair of gorgeous wings, covered with colorful spots, like the wings of a butterfly.

Countless dust particles, shimmering with colorful hues, emanated from its wings, quickly covering the sealed-off area.

Scale powder is the love of springs!

This is another Nen ability of Shayapov.

By attaching scales to the other person, one can sense their emotions and psychological fluctuations. It also has hypnotic effects and can even help guide others to develop the most suitable Nen ability.

"What are you talking about? How could I possibly betray the king?"

The catwoman smiled and uttered words that puzzled Oyapuf.

"Then what were you doing just now? Why did you attack me?"

"Where is the king now? Have you confirmed his safety?!"

Oyapuf frowned and quickly questioned the catwoman.

Even though he considered himself the king's most loyal subordinate, as a member of the guard, he knew very well that Catwoman and Yupi's loyalty to the king was not much less than his.

Therefore, he was not immediately certain that Catwoman had truly betrayed him.

On the contrary, the possibility of falling into the enemy's trap and being controlled by Nen abilities is much higher.

Thinking of this, Oyapouf's heart sank, and he decided to make a corresponding decision based on the catwoman's next reaction.

If Catwoman is truly being controlled, he will have to find a way to rescue her.

It wasn't that I had any particularly deep feelings for this colleague.

To be fair, from his own selfish perspective, he would actually prefer that Catwoman and Yupi disappear, so that he would be the king's only and most trustworthy subordinate in the true sense.

However, it cannot be denied that Catwoman and Yupi played a significant role, and their assistance was crucial in Wang's path to becoming the King of the World.

Especially now, when we are under attack from an unknown enemy!

The situation in the palace is already precarious; if the catwoman is also taken over by the enemy, they will face an even worse predicament.

However, he was well aware of Catwoman's strength; she was arguably the strongest of the three guards, regardless of whether humans could defeat her.

Even if it were possible, it would be impossible to control her in such a short time without even injuring her, right?

He observed that the catwoman's breathing was steady, indicating that she had not yet been in a fight.

Therefore, Owlapf's inner scales tipped in that the catwoman had some special reason that led him to misunderstand.

Of course, he wouldn't believe everything Catwoman said.

In this respect, we still have to rely on his scale powder love spring.

The cat goddess remained calm, stretched lazily as if nothing had happened, and licked her paw: "Don't worry, everything is normal with Wang, and the plan is progressing very smoothly."

"Plan? What plan?"

"Tell me right now! How could you hide something like this from me?"

"Oyapuf said urgently, while the scales he scattered had successfully reached the catwoman, allowing him to analyze her current mood."

My mood is primarily relaxed and confident.

How is this possible?!

Catwoman is definitely suspicious!

Xiao Yapuf's pupils suddenly contracted.

As a guard, they would never be able to relax in this situation; they would definitely feel anxious or worried for the king.

"I never said that my king and your king are the same person~"

A cunning glint flashed in the catwoman's eyes, and then the threads of her powers tightened around her joints, producing a series of cracking sounds.

A surge of spiritual energy erupted forth, making no attempt to conceal its murderous intent, while the puppeteer behind him grew ever larger.

It looks like a puppeteer holding silver threads, and Catwoman is the puppet it controls.

This is the technique [Kuroko's Dance] that Catwoman developed.

Kuroko Mai is an ability that Neko-sama uses only when she wants to fight with all her might; it only takes 0.1 seconds from activating the ability to attack.

It can be said to activate instantly.

The puppeteer manipulates the catwoman's body through mental strings, thereby enabling her to unleash power and speed beyond limits.

It's somewhat similar to the ultimate moves of the swordsmen in the Phantom Troupe, both involving Nen control to unleash greater power.

However, the knight-errant cannot control himself, while the catwoman's actions are still under her control.

"I have only one king!"

"Lynn!"

boom!

A sudden whooshing sound rang out!

Layers of compressed air currents rippled through the air.

In an instant, the catwoman shot out like a high-speed cannonball, her claws enveloped in a powerful black and red aura, and launched an attack on Oyapouf diagonally below at a speed that was impossible for the naked eye to perceive.

How is that possible?

When exactly did Catwoman appear?

Xiao Yapuf didn't have time to think it through and could only dodge reflexively.

However, Catwoman was stronger, so she was still injured in her left arm and flew backwards. Her wings flapped rapidly behind her, and she managed to hover in the air in time.

At this moment, Xiao Yapuf's face was extremely gloomy, like the sky during a summer afternoon thunderstorm, filled with dark clouds.

"I see----"

"They've already been turned against us, haven't they?"

It was clearly a question, but Xiao Yapufu said it in an affirmative tone.

It's obvious that Catwoman wasn't only controlled tonight.

He was certain that Catwoman was a member of the guard, so she must have been loyal to the king when she was born.

That means she was controlled during the period between the birth of the catwoman and today, and it was a powerful control ability that ignored distance and had no fluctuations in psychic energy.

It's likely that the catwoman has directly accepted the other party as her master on a spiritual level; otherwise, she wouldn't have said something like that.

That guy named Lynn—he actually planted spies among them all along!

Wait a minute—this name?

At the same time, Xiao Yapu also recalled the name Lynn.

To help the Ant King, he handled many miscellaneous tasks, including contacting the outside world and finding champions in various fields. Naturally, Lynn, the star who was known as the "strongest in the world," was among them.

Wang also stated that he would find a time to defeat Lynn.

This way, it can prove itself to be the strongest in terms of skill, surpassing all humans, just like in chess games.

He also devised a plan to arrange a meeting between Lynn and the King.

I never expected to hear this name at this time, and it seems that the other party had planned this all along and had turned Catwoman to their side long ago.

Even—that person may very well have been involved in tonight's attack!

This is bad, the situation is very bad!

Xiao Yapuf's heart skipped a beat; he had never been so panicked before.

Unable to defeat the catwoman, he could only use his abilities to evade her and head towards the palace, hoping to reach the king as quickly as possible.

He must ascertain the king's safety immediately!

Amidst a multitude of thoughts, the catwoman continued her attacks on him, and in just a few breaths, they exchanged dozens of blows.

Seizing the opportunity, Oyapuf used a small part of his own body as a sacrifice, employing the Fly King to disperse his body and advance towards the palace according to his plan.

king!

I'm coming right now!

Although Shayapof is not as strong as Neferpitou, he is better at self-preservation and dodging. If he is determined to leave, it will be difficult for him to stay.

Therefore, to avoid this problem, Lynn specially arranged for an expert in this field to help Catwoman.

Suddenly, the catwoman's shadow began to ripple violently, as if something was about to leap out from within it.

Ok? !

A bad feeling flashed through the minds of countless little Puffs.

Neferpitou's shadow seems a bit off.

The next moment, Gengar jumped out!

"Genius!"

Gengar's scarlet eyes glared fiercely at the large group of Poufs not far away, causing them to panic.

Immediately afterwards, his body began to change, and he instantly Dynamaxed!

Thick black smoke swirled around Gengar as it rapidly evolved.

Its body trembled, and its enormous form was enveloped in dark purple energy.

At the same time, a dark red reflection appeared on its body, and a ring of grayish-red clouds appeared near its head; these are the hallmarks of Dynamax.

It opened its enormous mouth, and terrifying energy gathered within, transforming into a horrifying beam of light that hurtled forward!

【Super Giant Phantom Ghost】 can unleash the astonishing energy contained within its body in one go, and also has a shadow-stepping effect to prevent enemies from escaping.

Are you kidding me!

What on earth is that?!

Sensing the energy fluctuations behind them, countless little Puffs felt a chill run down their spines and rushed off in different directions.

Was that also one of Lynn's methods?!

In the next instant, countless tiny Poufs were swallowed up by the giant phantom ghost!

Meanwhile, Xiao Jie and his friends are still searching for the enemy.

However, as they ran from inside to the platform outside, what came into view was Lynn!

"Lynn?!"

As Xiao Jie ran towards Lynn, he exclaimed in surprise.

Lynn was just on the first floor with Yupi, but now he's on the second-floor platform. They were only briefly surprised, though.

Lynn gave a brief greeting, then shifted his gaze from the distant dark pillar of light to the group behind him.

This place has a good view; you can directly see the battle between Neferpitou, Gengar, and Owl Yapouf, which is why he came here.

Faced with the double attack of Neferpitou and Gigantamax Gengar, Shrimp's fate was predictable.

Sure enough, a new card appeared in his mind shortly afterward, indicating that it was dropped by Shayapov.

Although Shayapuf is an S-rank goalkeeper, he is also an S-rank player, and the cards he drops correspond to this rank.

【Name: Black Sperm】

[Rank: S—]

[Type: Character Card]

[Background: One-Punch Man]

Description: One of the Dragon-level monsters in the Monster Association, its abilities are splitting and fusing. It can replenish its energy by eating, increasing its power.

The more cells a self has, the more individuals it can divide into, and the stronger the individual strength during fusion. Consuming food has a stronger effect compared to others, helping it to divide into more individuals faster and break through its limits.

Lynn raised an eyebrow; it was Black Sperm!

Indeed, Black Sperm's abilities are somewhat similar to those of Lord Fly from Owl Yapf, both involving splitting and merging.

However, Black Sperm is much stronger than Owl Yapf.

Even in the Monster Association, which is full of talented people, Black Sperm is a very strong existence among the powerful Dragon-level monsters.

Black Sperm, as the name suggests, is a dragon-level monster mutated from an unknown sperm. It is entirely black, with a white face, a lewd appearance, and an antenna on its head.

Black Sperm could easily defeat several S-class heroes, including Atomic Samurai, and even pulled Atomic Samurai's hair to create a [world-famous painting].

Black sperm is composed of countless "individuals" and can separate into any number of "selves" without losing strength or speed.

This trait is similar to that of Buggy, who ate the Chop-Chop Fruit, which gives Black Sperm extremely high immunity to slashing attacks.

The original work shows that the CCP has manifested four forms.

The first and most common form can continuously divide and multiply by absorbing proteins.

They can stack their bodies to make them gigantic, and their strength will also increase significantly.

The second multicellular sperm, a combination of 1,293,142,261,072 cells, greatly enhanced its speed and power, but unfortunately it was instantly killed by the tornado before it could even show its strength.

The third golden sperm, a combination of 43 trillion cells (the original had 10 trillion cells), greatly enhances speed and strength, and is extremely tall and robust.

Sweet Mask once commented that even if all the S-class heroes attacked together, they would still be seriously injured.

The fourth, and also the strongest, is the platinum sperm.

The ultimate fusion of 54 trillion cells is the final trump card of melanin sperm.

Compared to black and gold sperm, their body shape is closer to that of a normal person, and their overall attributes are greatly improved, especially in terms of speed.

It can engage in a three-way battle with Flashy Flash and Garou when he has just generated his armor and regained his sanity, and it can also suppress Flashy Flash's speed.

Black Sperm's record is also quite impressive.

They defeated Atomic Samurai, the fourth-ranked S-class hero.

He fought against Silver Bang, the third-ranked S-class hero, and the battle ended in a draw.

He fought against Tornado, ranked second in S-class, and Genos, ranked fourteenth in S-class, simultaneously, demonstrating a clear advantage and using trillions of split entities to force the two into a desperate situation.

This demonstrates just how high the gold content of melanin is.

Even if it is reduced to a single individual, given enough time, Black Sperm can recover to its full strength.

Although his black sperm is only S-grade, the description mentions that eating helps black sperm, so the black sperm in his possession can probably shine brightly.

He will eventually be able to demonstrate the strength he showed in the original work, and he is well worth nurturing.

All I can say is thank you, Xiaoyapf. You're too kind.

At that moment, Lynn suddenly sensed something and turned to look at the other side of the platform.

A dark green figure emerged from the passage, its terrifying aura palpable even from afar.

It's the Ant King!

Following closely behind the King Ant were Geno and Netero.

This aura is terrifying!

Geno glanced at the Ant King's figure without leaving a trace, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

He had met countless people, but only his current master, Lynn, could rival the Ant King.

Did I really pick such an opponent for myself?

Geno glanced at Netero beside him and shook his head almost imperceptibly.

In Geno's opinion, even Netero in his current form wouldn't stand much of a chance against this so-called "Ant King".

To put it bluntly, it's suicide.

We still need Lynn to take action!

At this moment, Netero paused slightly and turned to look in the direction of his left hand.

That was exactly where Lynn was.

Despite the distance, Netero could still clearly see Lynn's lip movements and understand what he was saying.

Don't die, old man.

"Ho ho————" Netero smiled knowingly, and at the same time, he mimicked Lynn, mouthing the words to him from a distance.

Don't worry about me.

The Ant King, who was walking at the front, glanced at Lynn over there, and his eyes narrowed.

This human—he/she seems unusual.

Even though Lynn didn't release any aura, the perceptive Ant King still sensed an aura from Lynn that was far more dangerous than Netero's.

However, this only made the Ant King glance at it slightly, and it didn't take Lynn seriously, because it firmly believed that it was the strongest.

Don't worry about me.

It's precisely because you said that that people are more worried.

Lynn naturally saw through Netero's lip movements and felt somewhat helpless towards the old man.

Now the King Ant and Netero are preparing to fight in a distant place, where neither of them can fully utilize their abilities.

Nitero was mainly worried about the impact on Mo Laowu and his group.

The ant king should be concerned about wheat.

Although something seems a bit off, the King Ant is definitely more concerned about Wheat's safety than the Guardians.

At this time, Xiaomai was not injured by Long Xingqun as in the original story, so she naturally did not need Catwoman's treatment.

In the room where the Ant King had emerged, the blind girl, Wheat, was trembling with fear, still confused about what had happened. She thought it was from the East...

Godot rebelled and attempted to attack the palace where the commander-in-chief was located.

Lynn's actions also attracted the attention of the two little ones next to him, who both turned their gazes toward Netero.

It's Grandpa!

A look of excitement flashed in Qi Shou's eyes.

He hadn't mistaken it; it was indeed his grandfather's dragon star cluster.

It's quite a coincidence to meet family members in a place like this.

Immediately, Qi Shou seemed to realize something and slightly turned his head to look at the green figure in front of Geno.

In other words—

Is that the King Ant?

Geno naturally felt Qi Kuang's attention, but he had more important things to do right now; catching up later wouldn't be too late.

Before he could make a move, the Ant King spoke first.

"Let's begin."
