Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Diya immediately looked around alertly, her body instinctively preparing for offense and defense.

The second floor should be empty right now, so how did that sound come from?

Swish!

A bright ray of sunlight fell, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

Qiduo also heard the sound and promptly turned on the [Shadowless Lamp] to provide a light source.

The two watched their respective halves of the court in tacit agreement, capturing every slight movement.

Diya looked around at the rows of desiccated corpses floating in mid-air, their feet not touching the ground. The environment was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Suddenly his gaze stopped and fixed on a mummified corpse to his left.

The corpse stared at Dia with its shriveled, eyelid-less eyes.

It seemed as if malice was flowing from his dark eyes.

'Was this thing... pointed at me before?'

Dia narrowed her eyes, about to step forward to investigate, when she heard Qiduo's voice coming from behind her:

“Dia…”

"what happened?"

Dia instinctively turned around to look.

Qiduo had turned her back to him at some point, staring at a pale wall.

Under the bright, direct sunlight, the shadows of the two people were cast on the wall, one tall and one short.

A strange sense of unease suddenly arose in Diya's heart.

Something seems a bit...unrealistic?

The surroundings were extremely quiet, not a sound could be heard, but this only made Diya's unease grow stronger.

'wrong……'

Suddenly, Dia discovered the problem.

At this moment, there were hundreds of dead people floating in mid-air around him.

But why can only his and Qiduo's shadows be seen on the wall?

puff……

The strange noises came again.

Dia slowly turned her head to look behind her—

A lifeless, withered face was less than three centimeters in front of him, coldly staring at him...

puff!

In an instant, a golden light flashed, and the [training] around Diya's body suddenly erupted, the fist shadow striking that face like a white rainbow piercing the sun!

The corpse's head did not explode as Dia had imagined; instead, it flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, carrying the body with it.

'How is that possible...'

A look of astonishment flashed across Diya's eyes. Although the attack was launched hastily, the force of that punch should have been enough to blow the head off an ordinary person.

He quickly activated [Condensation] to see what was going on.

You won't be surprised if you don't look, because once you do, you'll be shocked.

Under Ning's gaze, streams of "spirit" symbolizing life flowed from the mummified corpse that had been dead for an unknown period of time!

The corpse came back to life?

"Dia! There's something wrong with all the corpses!"

Qiduo's voice suddenly came, causing Dia to subconsciously look around.

At this moment, all the corpses in mid-air turned their heads to look at him in an orderly fashion, and their vital energy began to flow from their pores!

Diya felt a chill run down her spine. Was this an enemy attack, or were these hundreds of mummified corpses simply like that?

'No, Kang Jae was hung here for so long and nothing happened, how could something have happened as soon as he left?'

Dia reacted instantly:

'It's definitely an enemy attack! Is it that guy who's been playing with the ropes behind us?'

Before he could think further, the corpses suspended in the air landed simultaneously, like soldiers receiving orders at the same time, rushing towards Dia and Qiduo, who had already changed into a sterile suit!

AoE attack?

Without the slightest hesitation, seeing so many enemies launching an attack, Diya immediately summoned her spirit beast:

"[Atmosphere Maker]! A torrential downpour has begun in this space!"

The moment the white spirit beast crawled out of Diya's hair, its body turned black, and then, with a sudden gust of wind, it transformed into a huge dark cloud, layer upon layer covering the ceiling.

Pat pat pat—

The dense raindrops fell instantly, enveloping the spacious second floor in a sea of ​​rain!

Boom!Boom!Boom! ...

Diya swung her arms, unleashing a barrage of punches that blasted the first few corpses into a bloody pulp.

Having gotten a chance to catch his breath, he immediately spread his arms wide, gathering the raindrops from the sky into his clothes until he was completely soaked, then roared inwardly:

"[Armed]!"

Chapter 221 Clever Ideas × Turning Off the Lights

The light drizzle quickly turned into a downpour.

On the dimly lit second floor, the turquoise ripples emitted a dazzling light, like mist and lightning.

Clang!

A dull clang of metal rang out, and the heavy diving suit was once again covering Dia's body. He slammed heavily onto the ground, splashing water in all directions!

Boom!

As if the heavens had hurled down a thunderbolt, countless bolts of green lightning rained down relentlessly!

Behind Dia, the dim light of dawn fell, illuminating his entire appearance.

Qiduo stared blankly at the dark blue heavy diving suit.

At the brass-gripped helmet of Dia, air entered and exited through valves, producing a slow, wet, heavy breathing sound, like the breathing of some deep-sea creature.

'He succeeded? It hasn't been that long...'

Qiduo was shocked that Dia had completed such a complex materialization in just half a month, a speed that was even faster than her own back then.

What she didn't know was that Dia was able to go so fast by cheating with the diving suit on [The World]'s body; this speed was actually quite slow for him.

Through the rain curtain, lightning fell from the rooftops, sometimes striking the target precisely, sometimes narrowly avoiding it.

As the electric light dissipated into the rain, countless tiny, invisible currents, like leeches drawn by the scent of blood, desperately burrowed into every corpse along the thick curtain of rain.

Almost visibly, the movements of the hundreds of mummies that had been gathering around Dia began to stiffen.

Some of the mummified corpses that were hit on the head were pinned to the spot, motionless like puppets.

These corpses were not very strong to begin with, and even with that thin layer of spiritual energy covering them, they were still no match for Dia's full-force attack.

But what's annoying is that their numbers are incredibly numerous.

Referring to the battle between Hisoka and Chrollo in the Heavens Arena, even ordinary people who offer no resistance can pose a threat to a master like Hisoka if there are enough of them.

But if Hisoka had possessed Dia's ability as the "Second Elephant" back then, things would have been different.

'As long as there is muscle, the [Azure Ripple Nen] can slow it down!'

Diya was very clear about the scope of her abilities; even when facing a pile of dried corpses, they could still be effective.

Furthermore, since Kido had already changed into a sterile suit, there was no need to worry about these non-lethal Ripple Nen attacks accidentally injuring teammates.

At the same time, Dia's [Ripple Radar] silently unfolded like a ghost, rapidly expanding to all boundaries of the second floor.

'Cannot find anything...'

Dia frowned slightly. Even if there were enemies, he was now completely mixed in with these mummies.

【Ripple Radar】It cannot be identified because its appearance is not visible.

In a dark corner somewhere.

Without batting an eye, Mori mimicked the mummified corpse in front of him, calmly approaching the direction where Dia and the other person were.

He used his abilities to change his appearance, turning himself into a desiccated corpse.

'That overwhelming power, and that ability, is what killed Uluru and the others…'

With a formidable enemy at hand, Mori grows increasingly calm:

'Whether it's a frontal assault or a sneak attack, we absolutely cannot defeat that person. We must first use the boss's rope to subdue him...'

With a subtle turn of his right hand, three tiny, crimson and two black lassos quietly dangled from between his five fingernails.

The lassos fell silently, swimming through the air like fish before disappearing without a trace, right before Maori's eyes.

Dia had originally hoped that the enemy's reaction as a living person would be very different from that of a mummified corpse, thus allowing her to identify the person.

But now it seems the other party was very clever.

The moment the mummified corpse was controlled by the greenish-blue ripples of consciousness, he did not act rashly, but instead imitated the mummified corpse's current behavior to conceal himself.

But it doesn't matter.

'If you can't tell the difference, then you can't tell the difference. Just smash them all!'

Adhering to the principle that brute force can overcome all laws, Dia decisively raised her fist and charged towards the mummified corpses that were already frozen in place and unable to move!

However, at this moment, the long-lost ripple sensation suddenly reappeared, and at the same time, Dia heard Qiduo's exclamation:
