Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

'So arrogant, silly sister, how can you control him...'

Tyson shook his head, not holding out any hope.

But she didn't tell Mumu Ze about it in detail.

Firstly, even if they were roommates, they shouldn't have overstepped their bounds like that.

Secondly, at least when that man looked at Mu Muze, there was indeed an inscrutable tenderness in his eyes...

Regardless of how much is genuine or not, even a little sincere love is a luxury here. I hope you can get what you want and let this cruel world retain a little warmth...

Tyson looked at Mumu Ze's retreating figure, and there was a barely perceptible hint of affection in his eyes.

--------------

The night was deep.

Using the excuse of going to the toilet, Dia bypassed the private soldiers and guards who were watching her and quietly arrived at the very edge of the palace.

"Going out in this direction, the outer wall of the Royal Palace is less than a kilometer away."

Diya extended the [Ripple Radar] continuously, eventually easily covering all buildings and pedestrians within that one-kilometer radius.

With his Nen abilities constantly being strengthened, he no longer even knew the extent of his Ripple mastery.

Along this only road, there are three fixed monuments, a number of utility poles and lights, and no other buildings.

At the same time, perhaps knowing that the Third Prince was hosting a banquet tonight, the patrols around the palace have been significantly strengthened. In just a few seconds, two patrol teams passed by the outer wall of the Third Prince's palace.

On the outer wall of the royal palace, there was a soldier stationed every 500 meters. Dia's position was exactly at the midpoint of the line between the two soldiers.

'It's practically impossible to infiltrate from the ground unless my time stop lasts for about 40 seconds.'

One kilometer is too far.

Even with Dia's current strength, she couldn't pass through in 4 seconds.

If they stopped in the middle, they would undoubtedly be exposed to the soldiers, and if the alarm went off, the infiltration would fail.

'If only Jian Qi were here, but unfortunately she's probably already run off somewhere with Jin.'

Diya thought of the female assassin she had encountered in the ancient Ganyu Kingdom not long ago.

Her ability allows her to silently infiltrate deep underground, which is extremely convenient in such situations, and it's no wonder that Que Longyi wanted to hire her.

Alternatively, if one possessed some kind of invisibility ability, such as an alibi, they could successfully infiltrate the area. Unfortunately, invisibility is extremely rare even among Nen users.

'Fine, if we can't go underground, we'll have to try the heavens.'

Now that the [Atmosphere Creator]'s spirit beast is gone, it will take some effort for Dia to even fly.

clap clap clap...

Dia covered her palm with ripples, pressed it against the wall, and like a crawling spider, tiptoed along the wall to the top of the building behind her.

His figure was extremely blurry under the cover of night.

From the top of this small building, one can already vaguely see the view behind the walls of the King's Palace.

Diya could vaguely see that it seemed to be a bunch of bushes, probably some kind of garden.

'That's it. First, jump diagonally upwards, about a hundred meters away...'

A glint flashed in Diya's eyes, and a large amount of spiritual energy surged towards the bricks beneath her.

He used Zhou's technique to reinforce the bricks and tiles beneath him, so that the impact of his jump wouldn't directly crush them.

While calculating the angle and force, Dia squatted down, his whole body like a crawling toad, staring intently at the target.

Including the distance of free landing, this standing long jump should be at least 500 meters!

hum...

A deep, muffled voice rang out, and Dia desperately concealed her aura, making it seem as if a wild beast was growling in the small space.

His leg muscles gradually tensed and bulged, each muscle fiber twisting like steel bars, accumulating terrifying power.

The bricks and tiles that came into contact with his feet, even though they were as hard as steel under the cover of his aura, still sank slowly like mud under the pressure of his feet.

It's now!

'The World!'

The whole world seemed to freeze at that moment!

Dia no longer held back, roaring as his long-accumulated muscle fibers unleashed their power like a torrent, releasing terrifying strength in an instant!

boom!

The airflow exploded, creating a loud bang out of nowhere!

In an instant, his figure shot out like a cannonball, tearing through the air with a deafening roar, flying towards the direction of the Kakin Kingdom's palace!

Not long after, the soldiers on guard at the royal palace wall suddenly sensed something.

He subconsciously looked up and suddenly seemed to see... a figure falling?

"what……"

He was about to cry out in alarm that the enemy was attacking when he realized that the figure had vanished in the blink of an eye.

The bewildered soldier looked around for a long time but still couldn't see anything. He could only scratch his head in confusion, wondering if he was still half asleep.

What he didn't know was.

Not far behind him, inside the wall, a figure flickered among the bushes and quickly disappeared at the edge of the wall.

As she swiftly traversed the vast garden, the rippled radar beneath Diya's feet continued to extend.

Before long, most of the royal palace took shape in his mind.

'The central domed building is Nasby's palace, the surrounding smaller buildings are the palaces of various princesses, and there are also numerous gardens, swimming pools, pavilions, sports fields...'

It's worth noting that the shape of those princesses' palaces, no matter how I look at it, seems a bit like... a uterus?

'The Kakin royal family relies on producing princes to strengthen the nation's fortunes. The queen's fate is to give birth to a strong heir to the country. It's likely that the king chooses his queen based on the ability to produce offspring with exceptional talent...'

This explains why those princes all had such extraordinary talents; only through targeted training could offspring with superior traits be obtained.

Are all the buildings on the ground residential?

To Diya's surprise, the entire royal palace did not have a single functional building, such as an archive.

Where is the most likely place to store the [Insect Arrow Fragments] in the [Treasury]?

Suddenly, Dia sensed a presence approaching from not far away.

Swish!

He moved with lightning speed, disappearing behind a nearby artificial hill in the blink of an eye, simultaneously entering a state of [absolute] to ensure he wouldn't be discovered.

If it were an ordinary Nen user, they would probably only be able to use [Hidden] at this point, but with the Ripple protection, Dia could use [Zetsu], which has a better effect of concealing her presence, to sneak around.

Otherwise, for a normal ability user, entering the enemy's stronghold would be tantamount to suicide.

Tread...  

A powerful and robust figure stormed into the garden. He was dressed in the uniform of the King's Army, with officer's insignia on his shoulders, a shaved head, and a terrifying aura emanating from his eyes.

As soon as he entered the garden, he looked around, his gaze sweeping over every inch of the land.

Diya perfectly concealed herself behind the artificial hill, calmly using her radar to spy on him:

'A master... No wonder it's the palace of the King of Kajin; they actually hide such a powerful expert. Even I, without using time stop, would need more than thirty moves to kill him...'

In this situation, being held back for thirty moves, or even just a few seconds, is tantamount to being exposed and failing to infiltrate.

'I can't let him find me, I can't even let him think someone's here...'

I see you!

The officer suddenly turned his head, looked at the artificial hill, his aura exploded, and he revealed a sinister smile!

After a long while, he silently suppressed his aura, circled the artificial hill in confusion, but did not see anyone.

Behind a pillar not far away, Dia hid in the shadows, her brow furrowing slightly.

"He could indeed spot me, but I used time stop to escape. How did he do that?"

This is also why Dia didn't use time stop to run away directly.

This officer could sense his presence!

If you don't understand this point, there's no point in running away.

At this moment, Dia was considering whether or not to kill him directly.

If he kills the enemy, he won't have to worry about being discovered again, but that would put his infiltration time on a countdown.

Whether the officer was on rotation or on a fixed post, he would never be alone while patrolling the palace.

Killing him in the short term is no problem.

If this goes on for too long, something will definitely be discovered, and then nothing will prove an enemy attack better than a corpse.

"Let's see if we can avoid him first..."

Dia suddenly realized that the officer who had been jumping around just moments ago seemed to have been quiet for some time now.

He carefully deployed the [Ripple Radar] and discovered that the officer was standing quietly in the garden.

"Hmm? I've found you!"

The next moment, the officer suddenly looked in the direction of Dia, and his figure shot out, heading straight for the pillar where Dia was hiding!

"what!"

The officer was once again astonished to find that the shadow behind the pillar was still empty; there was nothing to be found!

"Am I being too sensitive?"

The officer scratched his head suspiciously, recalling that his superior had recently criticized him for being too sensitive and always issuing false alarms, wasting patrol manpower.

Could he really be a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow?

But that feeling of being watched, it can't be wrong, right?

Even with this in mind, the officer remained vigilant and continued to pace frantically around the garden, his mind filled with suspicion.
