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

Chapter 271 Possessed by an S-Rank Evil Spirit! It's been tough for everyone!

The wilderness, quite far from the palace.

A golden dragon radiating light dispersed, transforming from its coalescing form into countless tiny luminescent lights.

The two people who were originally on the golden dragon fell straight down from the sky, leaving two streaks of light like falling meteors.

boom!boom!

Two thuds sounded as both vehicles landed safely.

Despite the thick dust rising around them, both of them were enveloped in Nen energy, so it had no effect.

The disappearance of the golden dragon was deliberately calculated by Geno; the amount of Nen used was fixed, and it could only fly that short distance.

It will disappear just as it flies to this place.

And this place was also carefully selected by Nitero.

"This is a testing ground for weapons of war."

"Don't hold back, just come on!"

Netero looked at the Ant King's retreating figure and said calmly.

Weapons of war naturally refer to certain weapons of mass destruction.

This kind of place is not only suitable for the use of weapons of war, but also for battles between strong individuals.

Especially those whose strength is at their level.

This place is deserted, so even using [The Poor Man's Rose] won't affect anyone else.

Clearly, Nitero was prepared.

Preparation in every sense of the word!

Let this old man enjoy the thrill of battle before he dies!

Netero's muscles tensed slightly, his expression solemn, and his eyes gleamed with intense fighting spirit.

Why fight?

The Ant King crossed his arms and looked around for a while, realizing that this must be a carefully chosen battleground.

The King Ant flicked his tail, slowly turned around, and said something that Netero hadn't expected.

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Netero's mouth opened slightly, his serious expression crumbled, and even his fighting spirit was affected.

"You have no chance of winning."

"Why rush to your death?"

The King Ant's deep eyes were fixed on Netero, and its words were perfectly in line with its domineering nature.

The ant king did not believe that anyone could defeat it, neither the old man before it nor the young man it had seen in the palace.

This is true, at least in the realm of combat.

Therefore, it couldn't understand Nitero's "suicide" behavior.

In fact, the King Ant's idea wasn't wrong; to be honest, Netero was just there to die.

The ant king was merely a burial offering.

Seeing that the Ant King was not joking, Netero had no choice but to suppress his fighting spirit once again.

Netero picked at his ear with his little finger, looking displeased, and said, "We haven't even fought yet, how are you so sure I can't beat you?"

At this moment, a bad feeling began to creep into Netero's mind.

This battle is probably not as easy as he had anticipated.

It's not about the difference in strength between us and the enemy, but rather the change in the other side's mindset!

"You don't seem like the kind of mediocre person who can't tell the situation from the surface."

"When I was born into this world, I initially thought that no one had any reason to exist."

"But now my thinking has changed; there are still a small number of people who deserve to live."

"For example, you, or that girl."

palace.

In its multicellular syncytial state, Melanie simply said "Excuse me" and casually threw a punch, causing astonishing damage to Yupi.

Almost instantly, a terrifying force struck its chest, producing a sound like an explosion.

Yupi's invincible body was torn open in the blink of an eye by this blow!

This large hole runs directly through the front and back, encompassing most of the torso.

Yupi's tattered body flew backward, spilling blood all over the ground.

Even the evolved Mengtutu Youpi could not withstand it, and its entire torso was almost shattered.

But that's not enough. Chimera ants have terrifying vitality; you have to smash their heads to kill them completely.

However, Lynn did not intend to kill it.

Following closely behind Black Sperm, he also arrived on the first floor, bringing Little Jie and the others down with him.

Because there are no more enemies to search for.

The King Ant followed Netero away.

Xiao Yapf has been dealt with, and now only Yupi remains, so their mission is over.

Lynn glanced at Yupi, who was sprawled on the ground, his scarlet flesh writhing. It seemed his idea was correct.

"continue."

"Understood." Black Sperm nodded slightly, then strode over to Youpi's side, his massive fists raining down, landing precisely on the heavily injured Youpi.

What appears to be a brutal killing is actually a result of Black Sperm's keen observation and masterful control of the rhythm, maintaining a balance between the damage he inflicts and Yupi's healing.

The purpose is to continuously deplete the energy within Youpi's body.

In fact, Yupi can also be seen as the same type as Xiaoyapf.

Because it is entirely composed of Warcraft genes, it can control its body at will, shrinking or enlarging as needed.

In the original work, together with Shayapouf, he offered most of his body to the dying Chimera Ant King, leaving only a small part of himself who still possessed a complete body and consciousness.

This is something that only Shayapuf and Mentutu Yupi among the three Royal Guardians could do; Neferpitou would naturally not be able to do it.

With most of their body gone, few creatures could survive in such a situation, let alone retain their entire size.

So he thought of a way to capture Mentutu Youpi at a low cost.

You just need to force it to continuously consume energy, and once it falls below a certain lower limit, its size will shrink and its strength will decrease. At that time, you can take out the Poké Ball.

Of course, this requires some steps.

To inflict sufficient damage on Yupi without going too far means that the perpetrator needs to be significantly stronger than Yupi.

Black sperm happens to have this ability.

Although it was only recently acquired and was only S-rank, unlike goalkeepers like Yupi, Black Sperm's strength was around 70 or 80 points, only slightly weaker than him in his normal state.

Therefore, it was able to seize the opportunity to send Yupi flying with a single punch, which is due to the huge difference in strength.

"Is that... yet another Nen beast?!"

Norb pushed up his glasses, his mouth slightly open, and said in surprise.

Looking at the massive, tall, black monster with a pale face, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They instinctively wanted to stay away from the Black Spirit, sensing an extremely strong threat emanating from it.

It wasn't just the aura it emitted, but also the horrifying scene that had just unfolded!

That Yupi! One of the powerful guard members!

Not long ago, when they entered the palace, they ran into Mengtutu Youpi and were frightened by its aura. But even such a terrifying enemy was sent flying by a single punch from the Nen beast that Lynn casually released, even in its strongest state of fighting to the death.

Now they are even torturing and killing Yupi—a complete and one-sided massacre!

Zoro's strength was already enough to shock them.

Based on his previous performance, Zoro is highly likely to defeat Yupi, which is already quite admirable.

This unfamiliar Nen beast, which they had never seen before, was even more terrifying than Zoro—in appearance, aura, and strength.

Even Leorio and Kurapika, his two apprentices, were taken aback, as they did not recognize Dark Sperm.

It can only be said that he truly deserves to be called the world's strongest person, the pinnacle of beast tamers.

No one knows how many spirit beasts Lynn has left; they seem endless, and all of them are terrifyingly powerful.

But what they didn't know was that even Lynn himself was seeing Black Sperm for the first time.

Only a few minutes have passed since I obtained the black essence.

He also wanted to see the strength of the Black Sperm, so he simply sent it to deal with Youpi, and it did not disappoint his trust.

If we're talking about pure strength, Black Sperm is currently the strongest character card under his command, with Orochimaru slightly behind.

In terms of overall strength, the two are roughly equal, and they are currently his right and left hands.

"Phew~ But thankfully it's finally over."

"I'm so glad Mr. Lynn joined us, otherwise things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Norbu put away the handkerchief, let out a soft sigh, and looked on with a sense of emotion.

Although they didn't do anything, just their presence on the field was enough to make one's heart race.

They simply didn't have the opportunity to participate in, or rather, they weren't qualified to participate in, a battle of this level.

The once ornately decorated venue has completely disappeared, and the staircase leading to the second floor is now just a pile of rubble scattered on the ground.

The surrounding walls also crumbled, turning into piles of ruins.

If it weren't for one or two pillars remaining on the site, this place would have collapsed completely long ago and been covered by countless stone slabs.

The ground was also ravaged, with only cracks in it, but there was hardly a place that was intact.

They could only huddle in the corner, and several times they even considered going straight into the [Four-Dimensional Apartment].

Fortunately, they still won in the end.

And it was an overwhelming victory.

Lynn only sent out two Nen Beasts—no, it should be said that just one was enough to take care of the guard team.

It's hard to imagine just how terrifying Lynn's full power really is.

This is what they call the "world's strongest"!

Upon hearing this, Mo Laowu and the others also expressed their feelings.

What was expected to be a fierce battle ended quickly because Lynn was present, so much so that very few of them escaped.

force.

Meanwhile, while Black Sperm was working diligently, Lynn examined the cards that Yupi had dropped.

【Name: Possessed by Evil Spirits - Control Armor】

[Rank: S—]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Akame ga Kill!]

[Description: This is an armor-type Imperial Armor, crafted by top artisans gathered by the millennium-old Empire using the legendary ferocious dragon-shaped super-dangerous creature "Tyrande" as its material. It possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities, brief invisibility, and can even continuously evolve to adapt to different situations. However, only those with the aptitude of a king can wield it, and overuse will cause harm to the user. The higher the user's aptitude as a king, the better the effect.]

Another Imperial Arms!

And it's an S-rank [Possessed by Evil Spirits]!

Possessed by Evil Spirits is an armor-type Teigu used by the protagonist Tatsumi in the original work. Because it is made from the legendary dragon-type super dangerous species, it puts an enormous burden on the user, and ordinary people will die if they wear it.

When idle, it is a short sword; when released, the armor instantly covers the entire body and comes with a retractable spear weapon called "Redback Shrike".

Aside from its defensive capabilities and stealth abilities, the truly terrifying aspect of this Imperial Arm is that "Tyrande," the material it was made from, did not die.

Its muscle tissue remains alive and will continue to evolve in order to defeat enemies, developing targeted defensive capabilities based on the combat environment.

In the later stages of the original work, he was even able to briefly adapt to Queen Esdeath's time-stopping ability, "Makapadma," which is similar to Makuro's adaptability.

An S-rank Imperial Arms, I wonder how powerful it would be to wear.

However, only those with the qualities of a king can wield it, and it's unclear whether he is capable of using it now.

I'll try it out sometime later.

In order to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle, it would be good to have more strength.

On the wilderness.

As the King Ant revealed his thoughts one by one, Netero's expression grew increasingly grim.

Rather than a king ant with a changed mindset, he would rather fight a more powerful king ant.

At least the former would allow him to focus wholeheartedly on the battle without distractions.

Now it is having an impact.

Netero saw things very clearly. After this period of experience, the Ant King's beliefs had been shaken, and he was no longer a pure Chimera Ant.

It now lies in the gap between chimeric ants and humans.

This is really tricky.

Are you saying I can't even fight properly in the final battle?

Netero sighed inwardly, his long-accumulated fighting spirit also affected by the Ant King's words.

The current Ant King is far less formidable than when it was first born, both in terms of strength and the changes in its mindset.

"I have no intention of fighting you. The only reason I came here with you is to facilitate our conversation."

The King Ant changed his standing posture and sat cross-legged on the ground, resting his chin on his hand and looking calmly at Netero.

It's not just talk; this change in posture also conveys that it has no intention of fighting.

It has changed a lot since I came to Donggothia.

It was the wheat that pulled the ant king from a purely beastly mindset towards that of a human, teaching him to think like a human.

It can be said that Yapf's concerns were not wrong at all.

If it hadn't encountered wheat, the ant king would most likely have developed in the direction it desired.

But in reality, no matter which ending it is, death is inevitable in the end.

Even without Netero, humans would have used other means to eliminate the King Ant.

"The Rose of the Poor" is one such method.

Ironically, despite saying they would eradicate these dangerous creatures, they ended up classifying them as new types of magical beasts and ignoring them.

The entire Chimera Ant incident was merely a power struggle between various factions, and once the struggle ended, they couldn't be bothered with the Chimera Ants anymore.

Since the Ant King was already dead, they simply classified the remaining few Chimera Ants as a new type of magical beast, and that was how the matter was settled and the conclusion was made.

"Sigh~"

"This is really not going to go my way, old man!"

"King Ant, we've all worked so hard~"

Netero sighed softly and slowly walked towards the Ant King, his hands, which naturally hung at his sides, began to move.

The ant king, who had been calm and composed, suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the old man walking towards him, sensing something was amiss.
