From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

"The soul is closely related to the spiritual will... It is with this little remaining soul fragment that the most basic remnant is retained to allow the constraints to operate smoothly..."

As he spoke, the soul was absorbed by the mist in Long's hand.

The curse that bound Netero was broken, and the black curse energy drifted away like burnt ashes on the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"The body is dead, the soul is gone, so... it is true death, and the vows and restrictions no longer exist... For ordinary people, it is difficult to retain residual thoughts after the physical death... This is the prototype of the afterlife, and we need to improve our awareness."

After saying this, Long raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Killua: "Do you understand?"

Killua swallowed his saliva. With his intelligence, he naturally understood.

But... he also knew one thing, that after-death thoughts... not everyone can contact other people's souls like Long does.

In addition, whether it is telekinesis or the grudge...the soul seems to be more important than the body.

It is also the core!

Physical death can come into being, and thoughts of afterlife can appear...

But if the soul dies first... leaving only a physical body, then it's truly over.

"Why are you showing off? If I want to know something like this, I can always find out..."

Killua came back to his senses, coughed unnaturally, and snorted again, trying to save his dignity.

Chapter 199 The Value of Ants

In the Hunter Association.

Kita Yorkshire received a call from the president, saying that the matter concerning Shadow was over.

This surprised Yorkshire very much, because from what she knew, from the time Long arrived at the prison till now... it had only been more than an hour.

This efficiency...is too amazing!

The association is even ready. If Long can't deal with Jade, they will implement the follow-up plan...

"Okay, President. I understand."

After a while, Yorkshire put down his phone, and his mood could not calm down for a long time.

This is Long's ability, which does not rely on personal ability of the association.

Although Jed and his subordinates were eliminated... the impact on the association is still fermenting. The association has detected that someone is broadcasting live footage on the Internet, publicly executing association members, and has also announced the identity of the imprisoned Netero, saying that he will be killed in front of the whole world.

However, the network signal has been blocked, so not many people saw it... The association has the ability to calm this fluctuation.

The most important thing now is to notify V5.

Soon, the senior management of V5 also understood the situation and realized that it was Long who took action.

I'm not surprised that things were handled properly, after all, it was that man.

In V5's eyes, the danger posed by Long is hundreds or thousands of times greater than that of Jade's resurrection...the two are simply not on the same level.

And Long's move was also within V5's expectations.

...

On the other side, Netero finished his call.

He stretched his muscles and slowly stood up.

He glanced at Long and asked, "Jed...is he dead?"

"No."

Hazy smiled.

As expected of an old man, he is so perceptive... He must have noticed that the aura of the curse did not dissipate immediately after Rakshasa was destroyed.

Instead, he was locked in the Rig's Lamp for transformation.

"What are you going to do?" Netero asked directly. "Compared to Nen, the energy of the Grudge has no advantages... Although it can quickly gain power, it has too many weaknesses... And once you go too deep, it is easy to be dominated by negative emotions and become inhuman."

His words were undoubtedly a reminder to Long.

"Ok, I know."

Long nodded, then waved his hand, "Since everything is fine, I'll leave first... There should be a spaceship from the association to pick you up later."

"Goodbye."

He didn't come here this time to reminisce with Netero.

Now that his goal had been achieved, there was no point in staying any longer. Men Qi and the others were still waiting for him to go back and practice more...

"You met him... How was it? I want to hear your evaluation..."

Looking at Long's walking back, Netero did not try to keep him, but just said with a smile.

"It's worthy of your blood."

A vague voice came and gave the answer.

The two people refer to...Bi Yangde.

Long was not surprised. He had an agreement with the old man. Even if he promised him that he would not go to the Dark Continent temporarily, Netero would definitely keep an eye on his every move. The old man had some flaws in his character, at least in Long's opinion, such as being too kind and taking on burdens that did not belong to him. Apart from that, he was absolutely wise and foolish in his mind and scheming. If he, Pariston, and Jinfulis were really enemies, they would definitely not be able to play with this old man.

Therefore, Netero must know about Kakin's affairs.

As for the Chimera Ants, Oboro believed that Netero had also noticed it... But looking back at the old man's life, he had never been defeated, and he went to the Dark Continent twice. He was too confident in himself! He believed that no matter what kind of threat it was, he would be able to solve it... In addition, Netero subconsciously wanted to meet the challenge.

This caused him to underestimate the danger of the Chimera Ants.

After all, the outside world has not yet obtained any information about the Chimera Ants.

Long remembered clearly that when Netero was fighting with the Ant King Meruem, a revolving lantern of images appeared in his mind... When he was young, he challenged various martial arts schools, and the same was true after he became a Nen user. I don't know since when, as long as he was his opponent, he would eventually bend down to him and surrender... He didn't even have the opportunity to use his full strength. Over time, Netero learned to stop at the right time. He lost the pleasure and passion of pursuing the ultimate in martial arts in his heart...

This is what Long said, it’s lonely at the top.

If a person is too powerful, he will feel lonely and numb inside...

Killua on the side watched Oboro disappear, then glanced at the president. It was obvious that the little guy didn't understand what the two were negotiating about.

But he knew...both sides seemed to be referring to someone.

"Oh no... This is much later than the time Gon and I agreed upon in advance. Gon must be very anxious now... And that old woman..." Killua put aside all distracting thoughts and muttered.

"I'm leaving first..."

He waved to Netero and hurriedly chased after Oboro.

Netero smiled and nodded.

Killua is preparing to board the Fiers family's spaceship...but he doesn't know when the association's spaceship will arrive.

After both of them left, Netero walked out of the ruins and came to the place where Jade died.

He sighed softly with complicated eyes.

……

To Long, Ying's incident was just a small episode.

The spaceship carried Killua to a city near Gerushia, which had an airport terminal that could go directly to the Kakin Empire.

Killua needs to return to the game through the game equipment of Greed Island.

This is where the tycoon Batla is located.

And in view of the current bad relationship between the Fields family and Kakin, there is no way to send him to his place, so he can only go first himself.

Then, a few days later, Long returned to his teammates' outdoor training ground.

Men Qi and his companions seemed very calm about his quick return.

"The news has spread around the association... saying that you were the one who caused this incident. The interesting thing is that the president and the Twelve Earthly Branches don't seem to want to reveal the truth, but the one who spread the news... was Pariston! He seems to be helping you... This way, the possibility of you taking over as president in the future is even greater."

"Is he trying to show his affection to you?"

After a while, during the break after the training, Men Qi wiped the sweat from his face and spoke to Long.

"court?"

Long was leaning against a tree, basking in the sun, looking lazy.

A faint mist was floating around him, and he was holding the Rig's Lamp in his hand, swinging it back and forth.

"He is just speeding up the process, making that day come sooner... He can't wait to see what I will do. What kind of changes will I bring to the association after becoming the president... Most importantly, how to kill him."

Hazy smile.

"Because, if I can't kill him... it's like he has broken my tricks and can wreak havoc without restraint, which is disgusting."

Men Qi frowned, "You mean, he already has a plan to deal with you?"

"Who? Biyangde?"

Fant joined the conversation.

As teammates, they now understand the conflict between Long, Pariston, and Bi Yangde.

Judging from the support around Pariston, the only one who has the ability to stop Long is Bi Yangde.

But there is no way to guarantee his safety 100%.

"Could it be Jin Fulisi? Didn't the captain say...he and Jin have conflicts because of their different philosophies." Anthony echoed.

"No... From what I understand, Pariston and Jin don't seem to get along, and it's even more impossible for him to make an enemy of the captain for the former."

Men Qi shook his head.

Rita and Gabwich had no say in the matter; they knew nothing about the complex factions and power dynamics within the association.

"If the president is really dead... judging from the cards Pariston currently has, the effective counterattack he can make is minimal... he should be clear about the captain's level." Fant said in a deep voice.

"A person's power is divided into many levels. It's not as difficult as you think to kill or eliminate a person... Isn't it true that a strong man like Netero, who stands at the top of the human world, was also calculated? The key lies in the mind, in knowing how to take advantage of the situation and plan... And the most important thing is to see through the target. Have a clear judgment of the target's personality and what kind of behavior and actions he will take."

"After the birth of the Ant King, if Netero had not intervened and left the mess to V5, he would not have died... Pariston and Biyangde were certain that the old man would take the blame himself, and that was indeed the case."

"No matter what Pariston wants to do, the premise is... he must think that he has figured me out."

"And if you want to take advantage of the situation, it's not just about finding someone to help you, or a country..."
