Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Diya's fists made a series of whooshing sounds as they punched, but none of them landed; they all hit the air!

Uluru secretly felt lucky; after winding up the clockwork, his speed was just a little faster than the enemy in front of him.

Uluru seized the opportunity and didn't waste it. He decisively pushed off with his feet to create distance between himself and Dia, while simultaneously grabbing the golden spring on his chest with his right hand and starting to twist it frantically.

'The limit of the "Ready to Strike" ability is 14 turns. In reality, after about 7 turns, irreparable damage will occur. Reaching its limit means instant death upon deactivation.'

Uluru began silently counting the laps. To deal with this formidable opponent, he had to be prepared to run himself to death on the spot.

In an instant, a blur of incredible speed began to circle around Dia.

Diya withdrew his fist, staring intently at the afterimage. The opponent's speed surprised him greatly; it was a speed that no ordinary person could achieve.

Do you want to use time stop?

Diya frowned. Facing a Nen user with incredible speed, time stop could be the decisive factor.

But the prerequisite is being able to catch the moment the opponent launches an attack.

This has never been difficult for Dia, who possesses the ability to use bullet time.

But the current situation is different from what I imagined.

The enemy simply kept circling around him, showing no desire to launch an attack whatsoever.

At the same time, strange clicking sounds kept ringing out wherever the afterimage reached, indicating that the other party was constantly trying to wind itself up.

'If I'm not mistaken, the opponent's ability likely stems from winding themselves up, granting them combat capabilities far exceeding their usual strength.'

Dia calmly analyzed:

'It should be a [Manipulation] type ability. Such abilities usually come at a price; using them would likely result in injury or even disability. But judging from his expression, he definitely doesn't care about that.'

So how can we stop the opponent's ever-increasing speed under these circumstances?

'Wow! Give him a job!'

Diya narrowed her eyes and decisively summoned her spirit beast.

White clouds emerged from his hair, then transformed into black clouds and flew to the ceiling.

At times like these, the new skill he'd painstakingly practiced for over half a month could finally come in handy...

Chapter 205 Dia's [Armed] × [Ready to Strike] Part Two

'Um? '

Uluru looked up warily and saw the billowing black mist spreading across the ceiling.

He instantly realized that this was the other party's ability!

'Dark clouds? Or black smoke?'

Uluru immediately began to assess the nature of Dia's abilities.

In battles between Nen users, the fundamental principle is to exhaust all imagination. If one cannot correctly judge an unknown ability, then victory is impossible.

'Seventh lap...'

As Uluru counted the laps, his brain began to work at full speed:

'If it's dark clouds, then the enemy's abilities are related to the weather; if it's black fog, then it's used to conceal themselves or manipulate fog, etc...'

The next moment, a raindrop fell without warning.

The raindrops landed on Uluru's nose, the icy sensation jolting him awake.

'Rain! So it's dark clouds!'

'The opponent's ability must be related to the weather...'

Either the rainwater is the problem, or the rainy weather makes the venue more favorable for the opponent to use their skills.

In short, Uluru believes he has found the opportunity to see through the opponent's abilities!

As the dark, cloud-like fog expanded vigorously, it desperately poured raindrops onto the ground.

The sizable track and field stadium was almost instantly covered by a thick curtain of rain that obscured everything.

The torrential rain raged wildly in this confined space, almost turning the place into an underwater world!

Uluru immediately held its breath and focused on winding up the clockwork to prevent rainwater from getting into its mouth.

'Is this the enemy's capability? To create a super rainstorm that makes it impossible for people to breathe?'

With the lung capacity of an ordinary Nen user, is such an ability really meaningful? You could easily survive a battle by simply holding your breath, right?

Besides, this is only indoors. Outdoors, how big can the range of this rain-making from nowhere be? You can easily run out of the coverage area.

Uluru instinctively felt that someone like Dia shouldn't have developed such a meaningless ability.

Boom!

The deafening thunder attracted Uluru's attention.

Out of the corner of my eye, a flash of green light appeared and descended from the sky!

【Greenish-blue wavy pattern】!

Without the slightest hesitation, Uluru decisively changed his footing, dodging the green lightning bolt with incredible speed.

boom!

The turquoise ripples slammed into the ground, transforming into countless tiny electric currents that instantly vanished into the already waterlogged surface.

Uluru's eyes lit up.

They still have tricks up their sleeve, but...

'Too slow. This green lightning strike must have some special effect, but to increase that special ability, he slowed it down, making it nowhere near the speed of normal lightning.'

Thinking of this, Uluru was overjoyed, and a smile appeared on his face:

'No matter how many effects it has, it's useless if it can't hit anyone. At my current speed, this kind of lightning will never hit me.'

"Although your punches are powerful, you've misdeveloped your abilities!"

He seemed to have already seen the dawn of victory, which was right before his eyes.

In just a little while, his clockwork will be wound up to 14 turns, and then with one strike, he can take his opponent down with him!

What are you laughing at?

A hoarse, metallic voice suddenly rang out.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear amidst the noisy downpour.

'Who is speaking?'

Uluru was instantly jolted awake from his reverie and looked alertly toward the source of the sound.

In the pouring rain, a blurry blue figure stood there, motionless.

Through a break in the downpour, Uluru finally saw the true face of the figure—

The man from before had somehow put on a heavy-duty, bluish-gray diving suit.

The wetsuit appeared to be made of rubber, was quite thick, and had dark patches and signs of repeated wear on the shoulders and joints.

On his back were two huge oxygen cylinders, with two metal tubes extending from the cylinder openings and connecting to the valve interfaces.

He had lead weights for divers attached to his waist, and his helmet was a single sphere with a rectangular observation window running across the front. It had a mesh metal visor and the helmet collar was a dull brass color, covered with dents and oxidation spots.

Dia simply stood there quietly, emitting slow, heavy hissing sounds, like the breathing of some deep-sea creature.

Rainwater streamed down from the folds of his clothing and the pressure relief valve, forming a puddle at his feet.

"call--"

Dia exhaled a long breath, ripples vibrating throughout her body. This airflow spun and vibrated inside her spherical helmet, emitting a dull hum.

That's... a physical combat suit?

Uluru, being quite knowledgeable, immediately recognized the strange attire Dia was wearing.

Such materialized armor usually carries special significance; if it suddenly materializes at this time, there's only one possibility—

'It seems like they're about to unleash a trump card ability...'

A serious look flashed across Uluru's eyes. He continued working, winding the clockwork to its tenth rotation.

But that's not enough; the speed of the tenth lap alone isn't enough for him to deliver a fatal blow.

At that speed, if he couldn't kill with a single blow, he would be crippled by the recoil.

After all, when [Ready to Strike] is used on oneself, it can only continuously draw upon one's own spiritual energy to increase speed; it does not provide any enhancement to one's strength or physical attributes.

Although he didn't care about his own safety, that would mean his mission to kill the intruder had completely failed.

Uluru will not allow itself to fail; at the very least, it must perish together with the enemy!

Despite being the most physically imposing member of the group of five, Uluru has never been good at fighting.

So Linus would often pat his chest in exasperation, grumbling and demanding that he give her half his height.

Uluru never found it strange, because he had been the army doctor when the five of them served in the Kingdom of Fujiang.

No matter who is injured, how depressed or weak they are, as long as they wind themselves up, they can be revived on the spot.

Although the aftereffects were quite severe.

Later, they betrayed their country, started their careers on the spot, and transformed themselves into internationally wanted criminals.

Hero turned into demon.

The bounty hunters called them the "Four Thieves of Fujiang".

But there are actually five of them, haha...

Getting back to the point, Diya tapped her wetsuit, making a thumping sound, and casually said:

"Why aren't you laughing anymore? If you're not laughing, it's my turn!"

Boom—×N
