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

Chapter 278 Divine Might's Sneak Attack! In other words, Lynn won!

hum! !

At this moment, the commotion in the underground space reached its peak.

Ice, flames, and psychic energy—the arena became a kaleidoscope of colors, with the most intense activity occurring at the center of both sides, where terrifying fluctuations continued unabated, as if tearing the air apart.

At this moment, neither side held back, but instead exerted all their strength, and surprisingly, they maintained a balance for a short period of time.

Looking at the ant king with a ferocious face and covered in black and purple "armor," resembling a demon from hell, a glint of light flashed in Lynn's eyes.

The time has come!

He had waited so long without revealing his hand, just to wait for the perfect opportunity like this!

He was wielding two swords, one a chilling hell in the left hand and the other a blazing inferno in the right. It seemed as if he had exhausted all his spiritual energy, but in reality, he was still holding back some of his spiritual energy for a backup plan.

The reason he still had so much spiritual energy at his disposal after the fierce battle was due to the foundation he had accumulated over a long period of time.

The combination of [Immortal Body], [Power of Devouring], [Gourmet Cells], and [Life Return] gives him an extremely strong and unique physique.

Not only can it quickly digest high-energy foods, transforming them into a miraculous elixir to heal itself and replenish energy, but it can also...

Consuming large amounts of delicious food allows energy to accumulate in the body.

It can be accessed and used anytime, anywhere when needed.

He attached great importance to this battle, and to prepare, he consumed a great deal of fine cuisine and accumulated energy to reach his maximum limit.

That's why he was able to fight again and again, and even with the Six Gates open and the double Bankai activated, he still had some Nen left to do other things.

At this moment, the Ant King is gathering a large amount of Nen energy in his arms to resist the attack, and his attention is entirely focused on the sword, and the distance is close.

He's 100% guaranteed to succeed!

In an instant, streams of spiritual energy surged toward Lynn's head, especially his eyes. Beneath the disguised contact lenses were a pair of strange, blood-red eyes, with his left eye being particularly beautiful.

The blood-red eyes, etched with unique patterns, spun rapidly, while also flashing with the faint light of the [Thousand-Mile Eyes].

Although the distance is so close that there is no need for telescopic vision, this can enhance his eyesight and help him aim at the Ant King in case the Ant King notices something and dodges away.

Kamui!!

Almost instantly, the ant king's expression changed drastically; his beastly instincts told him that something extremely bad was about to happen.

If they don't evacuate immediately, something terrible will definitely happen to them.

But a premonition told it not to move, because it was in a standoff, and if it moved, Lynn's twin swords would immediately strike it.

Look at those ferocious twin blades; if they were to fall upon someone, even they would suffer a terrible fate.

Neither advancing nor retreating is an option!

Dead end!

A strong sense of negative emotion overwhelmed him; for the first time in his life, he felt so panicked and didn't know what to do.

The next moment, its pupils contracted, and it felt an excruciating pain in its left waist, as if half of its body had been forcibly torn away, which was extremely painful.

The air inexplicably rippled like a vortex, engulfing part of its body, which was then torn away and absorbed into an unknown void before quickly disappearing.

It all happened so fast it seemed like an illusion, but intense pain surged like a tidal wave, and blood was gushing from the large wound.

These things tell it that this is not an illusion, but something that is actually happening—reality!

How is that possible!

How could it have suddenly turned out like this!

The ant king's pupils trembled; he had never expected such a thing to happen.

It couldn't discern what ability Lynn had used to inflict such terrible injuries while both of its arms and swords were restrained.

It was as if they did it with just a glance.

It suffered heavy damage, which is detrimental to the upcoming battle, but that's secondary; the real focus is on the present!

A large chunk of its left waist is missing, and some organs have also been damaged. It is now fighting while enduring the pain, which is nothing to it, but the impact on its combat power cannot be erased.

Such injuries have severely affected the flow of its Nen energy, preventing it from fully utilizing its strength. In the current standoff, this is undoubtedly a fatal blow.

It can't withstand this blow!

The moment the thought flashed through its mind, the Ant King felt its arms go weak as two sword lights, one blue and one red, approached it and then—slashed at its body!

boom!!

The ant king seemed to have been hit by a blue-red meteorite. His entire body was sent flying backward, contorted in a twisted posture, like a tattered rag doll that had been beaten and broken.

Bang! Bang! Bang! ————

The ant king only stopped after smashing through countless pillars!

Sit down!

All that remained was a nearly shattered ground and thick smoke filling the sky.

Layers of air waves radiated outwards from the center, causing the temperature to rise sharply and creating a sweltering heatwave.

The open space had expanded considerably, and at the same time, a straight road suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of Lynn!

As far as the eye could see, everything was a dark, reddish-black expanse, radiating terrifying heat, as if the ground had been plowed countless times, and thick smoke and dust filled the air.

Lynn was furious. Although he had knocked the Ant King away, his expression remained unchanged. After catching his breath, he deactivated his dual swords from Bankai state. Even with his long mana bar, he had to be careful.

That combo just now drained a lot of his mana.

He raised his hand and gently pressed it down.

The thick smoke and dust that had been floating in the air just moments before instantly transformed into docile sheep, falling to the ground.

Visibility immediately increased.

He walked forward step by step until he finally saw the King Ant.

The ant king was in a terrible state, trying to stand up straight by supporting its body with its two feet. Even if it managed to stand up, its condition was still far from optimistic, and it was obvious at a glance that it was in a terrible state.

First, a whole piece of the left side is missing, making it look like the Ant King was bitten by an unknown monster at first glance.

Secondly, there were the hideous scars left after being hit by the twin blades, and most of his body had obvious burn marks, emitting a burnt meat smell.

Both arms also suffered severe damage and have shrunk slightly compared to before, perhaps due to muscle atrophy caused by the burns.

It was clear that its injuries were quite severe, to the point that its self-healing ability alone could not resolve the situation, and its Nen energy was so weak that only a thin layer remained on its body surface.

Unable to organize an effective defense, let alone an offensive.

Dust and blood covered its body. The ant king was covered in dust and dirt, and had reached the lowest point in its life. It had never been so disheveled.

"vomit!"

As soon as the Ant King stood up, his pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but clutch his abdomen and vomit blood, spewing a mouthful of dark green blood onto the ground. His head also inevitably started to spin.

It slowly raised its head, and the arrogant look that had once filled its eyes had vanished, replaced by a complex expression of mixed feelings.

Discontent, astonishment, and sighs—

Unexpectedly, what Lynn, the so-called "strongest in the world," said was not just empty talk.

It's wrong.

Lynn's strength is indeed superior to itss!

Inside the royal palace.

The people in front of the screen were all wearing the same stunned expression.

A silence.

What did they just see?

The situation was initially evenly matched, but Lynn displayed extraordinary abilities, severely injuring the Ant King in one fell swoop, and then delivering a devastating blow to him.

The ant king flew out—severely injured.

In other words, Lynn won?

Humans really defeated that super monster, the Ant King!

This is a victory for humanity!

The current appearance of the King Ant makes it impossible for them to connect him with the domineering, powerful, invincible King Ant who easily crushed Chairman Netero.

This inevitably raises the question, "Is this really the same person?"

The current situation of the Ant King is just like that of Netero after he used Zero. Both of them fought desperately after encountering a powerful enemy, but ended up losing, losing their energy and spirit, and being seriously injured.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

It just goes to show that fortunes change, and even the once invincible Ant King can eventually end up like this.

"You won—you won?"

Mo Laowu spoke first, breaking the silence.

At that moment, everyone realized that they had been holding their breath and staring intently at the screen, not daring to utter a single breath.

Only now did they finally relax, a feeling of relief filling their hearts, their faces lightening, though still bearing expressions of disbelief and astonishment.

"They really won! Lynn won!"

Xiao Jie jumped up and waved his fists, celebrating loudly.

"Hahaha, Lynn won!" Mo Laowu said in a deep voice, while also giving Xiao Jie a high five.

Kate nodded repeatedly, a clear sense of relief emanating from her voice: "As expected of Mr. Lynn, his monstrous strength is truly astounding."

"He could even defeat such an overpowered Ant King; he truly deserves to be called the strongest in the world!"

Merleon, standing nearby, was moved to tears. Seeing the Ant King in this state, its wish to avenge its father had been fulfilled.

Norb adjusted his glasses, his previously tense face finally relaxing, and exclaimed in amazement, "Indeed, Mr. Lynn is a monster."

"If I'm not mistaken, that move just now was a spatial ability. It used space to absorb a part of the Ant King's body, thus severely injuring him."

"This is the same essence as my 'Window Opener,' but I'm nowhere near as good as Mr. Lynn."

Nobu's Nen ability is, after all, a spatial type called "Four-Dimensional Apartment," and he frequently uses this method of dividing space to attack.

They quickly deduced that Lynn's divine power was of the same type.

Seeing that the Ant King, the final boss, had been defeated, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and started chattering away, each having something to say.

Without exception, they were all marveling at Lynn's strength.

After all, no one had thought that Lynn would defeat the Ant King with sheer strength, as he was a monster who could easily crush Chairman Netero.

So everyone assumed that Lynn would use the forbidden weapons to defeat the Ant King.

Unexpectedly, he refuted their ideas with his actions.

Lynn's strength is even greater than the Ant King's!

"Ho ho ho, truly a monster among humans." Netero stroked his chin, a relaxed smile on his face, his tone filled with admiration and relief.

Has Lynn grown to this extent without anyone noticing?

What a terrifying talent!

The title of the strongest human being is well-deserved!

Just as everyone was enjoying themselves and preparing to watch Lynn return in triumph, they discovered that Lynn on the screen did something that shocked them.

Within the space of thought.

"Wow, they really defeated that monster? That's amazing!" Old P didn't hold back his praise, showering Lynn on the screen with compliments.

People are always drawn to strength, especially when they see a friend who is so powerful; they are more likely to be genuinely surprised.

Jin stared at Lynn's figure, a strange light flashing in his eyes, and sighed, "I must say, he's truly worthy of being called him—"

"Although I had a feeling he would win in the end, I didn't expect it to end so easily."

"As expected, he's a monster!"

Jin shook his head, his mind completely equating the name "Lynn" with "monster." With his hidden terrifying strength and endless all-around methods, who could possibly deal with him?

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to view Lynn as a calamity on the Dark Continent.

Lynn is still young and has only been exposed to [Nian] for a short time, yet he already has the strength to defeat the monster ant king.

What will the future hold?

That must have been an astonishing height.

"Alright, now that things are perfectly resolved, I should be going." Jin stood up, stretched, and said, "This trip was definitely worthwhile; I saw some very valuable footage."

"Find an opportunity to congratulate him. It's better to deepen our relationship. Lynn is too important."

If Lynn was previously considered by many to be the strongest exorcist and the world's strongest, these two were roughly equal.

So now, at least in the eyes of those who witnessed this battle, the latter's value has undoubtedly been greatly increased, surpassing the former.

I knew Lin Enqiang, but I didn't know he was this strong.

Jin glanced at Lynn on the screen—more importantly, he had never seen Lynn lose, which meant that no one knew the true extent of Lynn's strength.

Whenever Lynn encountered a stronger enemy, he would always unleash even greater power and defeat them without exception.

He was practically invincible.

It's true that people like that are quite frightening.

Thinking this to himself, Jin Hu's body trembled. He looked at Lynn's actions on the screen and showed a rare expression of surprise.

How could Lynn do this?!

Could it be?

A terrifying, unbelievable, yet highly credible conjecture surfaced in Jin's mind.

"No, that can't be."

"But—it seems like this is the only explanation?"

Jin stared intently at the screen, his mind racing with thoughts. He couldn't understand why Lynn would do such a thing.

Unless it's that one explanation.

But that explanation was so exaggerated that it was hard to believe.

If it's true, then everyone has underestimated Lynn once again—Lynn's strength is probably far beyond their imagination!
