Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

'But... I promised my master, and I have a reason I have to do it... So, I'm sorry!'

Nakuru was almost in tears. With his rich emotions, he had already imagined the future beyond episode 40!

"Okay! I'll do my best!"

Nakuro roared, and his Nen energy surged rapidly towards his right arm like a turbulent torrent!

Diya calmly watched him gather his strength, slightly increasing the intensity of her Nen in her hands without panicking.

next moment--

Nakulu's momentum reached its peak. He twisted his waist, raised his arm, and let out another loud shout, like the starting gun in a 100-meter race.

"Drink it!!"

The fist tore through the air, creating a whistling gale, and slammed into Dia's palm!

boom!

In an instant, a visible shockwave erupted from the point where the fist and palm collided, rolling out in all directions, which was quite astonishing!

however,

At the same time, a crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.

It came from the fist!

The hand trembled for only a moment before standing calmly before Nakuru, like a majestic mountain, without showing any signs of damage.

Nakuru broke out in a cold sweat, remained silent, and slowly withdrew his fist.

In just a moment, his fist was swollen and red, and even purplish-black bruises appeared on the surface of his fist.

'The palms and finger bones are cracked...'

Both are "hard," like a fist and a palm, a spear and a shield. The spear breaks, but the shield remains unharmed.

"Not bad... I'd give that punch a 60 out of 100..."

A look of approval flashed in Diya's eyes as she praised him.

Nakuru is not a user of the three upper-level Abilities, so he can only exert a partial effect on the offense and defense of Qi. The fact that he can deliver such a powerful punch shows his strength and effort in actual combat.

Upon hearing Dia's voice, Nakuro knew that he had already fallen into defeat in the battle of wits.

But there's still a chance!

Nakulu stared intently at Diya's shoulder, where a white, doll-like spirit beast had quietly appeared!

It is [Potterklin], and the number displayed on it is [1024].

'Great! A very good start, almost five times! The time has been greatly reduced, now we just have to wait…'

Just as hope began to rise in Nakuro's heart, he suddenly froze.

Because in his perception, Dia's potential energy was simply boundless!

'This...this is impossible...'

Naku was stunned, his heart suddenly tightening:

'How many times more is this than Master's? Two times? Three times? Five times?'

'While potential energy is indeed much higher than apparent energy, is this level of energy truly human? Even Chairman Netero couldn't reach that level, could he?'

'How long would it take me to bankrupt someone like that? Even if he doesn't want to kill me, won't I be exhausted to death before that happens?'

A sense of despair welled up in Nakuru's heart.

The next moment, something even more desperate happened.

The instant that everyone's eyes turned to this strange Nen beast the moment Poteklin appeared.

A doll in a blue dress quietly appeared in the back of Diya's mind, grabbing his hair and pressing itself against his face with fascination.

"Click..."

The long-unseen Mumu Ze doll let out a coquettish voice, then glared fiercely at the "uninvited guest" and pounced on him without hesitation!

tear-

It sounded as if the fabric was being torn.

In Nakor's desperate gaze, his last hope—Potterklin—was torn apart without warning and vanished without a trace!

He immediately became withdrawn and couldn't speak.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

"what is that?"

Dia asked, feigning ignorance.

Nakulu seemed to wake from a dream, and said blankly:

“That’s my ability, Poteklin… an ability activated by borrowing [Ki]…”

"Originally, I wanted to use the information gap that you didn't know the specifics of your abilities to drag you into [Absolute]... but it seems that Poteklin has already been exorcised..."

After hearing his explanation, Pokson quietly peeked out from behind Dia and cast a disdainful glance at Nakuru, as if to say:

"A cunning and deceitful person."

"puff--"

That look was like a sword piercing Nakoruru's heart, a look that made him spit out a mouthful of blood instantly!

Seeing that Nakuru's skin instantly turned from white to red, like a boiled shrimp, Dia quickly tucked Miss Poker behind her back to prevent her from getting angry to death.

To ease the awkwardness, Dia casually asked:

"If that mind beast isn't dispelled, how long will it take you to entangle with me before you can bankrupt me?"

Na Kulu did some calculations and slowly shook his head:

“Your potential capacity surpasses that of anyone I have ever met. If my master used 8 to calculate, you might be close to 40. If I haven’t miscalculated, then this capacity is even more exaggerated than Chairman Netero’s.”

"I estimate it would take about 630 seconds to bankrupt Master, but that's based on my baseline lending amount of 210 Qi. Just now, after gathering Qi, I lent you almost five times that baseline lending amount, which is 1024 Qi. So the bankruptcy time will probably be the same as 630 seconds."

"But I can lend you my energy, and you can naturally repay it. If your apparent energy is one-tenth or even one-hundredth of your potential energy, then I will have almost no chance of maintaining a stable increase in interest during the battle of offense and defense."

"In other words, even if Porterclin is not removed, the chances of him going bankrupt are extremely slim."

Nakuru, who was physically and mentally traumatized, left.

Carrying Xiu Tuo, who had never had the courage to jump out from the beginning and could only weep bitterly behind the tree, he left dejectedly.

On the way to the designated location.

Pokson tilted his head and looked at Dia curiously, asking:

"Is what that person said true? Are you really even better than the president?"

Diya pinched her cheek as she leaned in and said with a smile:

"It's just potential; at most, he has strong endurance, but in terms of explosive power, he can't compete with the president."

"Then why do you have such a high potential for magnanimity? Is it a talent?"

Poxon continued to ask.

"You'll find out about this tonight."

Diya kept her in suspense, her gaze lingering on her somewhat dry hair for a moment.

Chapter 470 Neferpitou x The Missing Morpheus

Splash...

Horus turned sideways, calmly reaching out to part the leaves and peer through the gaps into the enormous nest.

Silent and still, like a plant.

Countless strangely shaped soldier ants either fly in the sky or line up in long rows, working in an orderly manner, just like an ordinary construction site.

If we ignore the corpses.

Yes, those ferocious soldier ants, whether walking or flying, each carried one or more mangled human corpses in their hands. All of them had been stripped of their clothes, and many were covered in wounds and had severed limbs.

Those were the Queen's food.

Horus looked on coldly.

On a vast expanse of red soil and Gobi desert outside the primeval forest stands a huge, rugged tower-shaped "building" made of clay.

It's called a clay tower, but it only has a slight tower shape. From the outside, it has almost no architectural or geometric beauty.

On the outer walls and top of the clay tower, countless bizarre arthropods roam, their enormous bellies seemingly filled with something.

Whenever they crawl to a slightly uneven spot, their abdomen swells, and they vomit some yellowish-brown, wet, sticky soil from their mouthparts, which they then smear on the surface.

Clearly, this entire clay tower was "pieced together" bit by bit by these arthropods using clay.

Even building ants have appeared...

Horus narrowed his eyes slightly, and for some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy.

The Chimera Ant Queen will migrate continuously during her hunting process as needed, during which the number of soldier ants will increase to protect the stronghold.

Once a location is chosen, the queen will lay a large number of building ants, which will build a city at an astonishing speed. The queen will then live there until she dies. At that time, the queen's appetite will reach its peak, and the soldier ants will need to provide her with a large amount of food.

Horus, a beast hunter, is very familiar with the habits of the Chimera Ants.

Judging from the scene before us, it is highly likely that the Chimera Ant Queen has selected a site for building her city and has begun to lay soldier ants on a large scale.

"Following this, every cycle the queen will lay eggs for the next queen chimera ant. After the queen is born, she will leave the nest and mate with various kinds of creatures to produce new queens, leading to an explosive increase in numbers..."

Judging from the timeline, the queen should be in the crucial stage of giving birth to the king ant. At most, the first king chimera ant will be born in another month.

'The five amateur hunter teams we attracted earlier have all lost contact; their chances of survival are extremely low. Those useless fools, not a single one of them managed to spread news of the Chimera ant plague outside the NGL Autonomous Region before they died. They were definitely not reliable.'

'Luckily, I left a piece of that beast's limb beforehand and handed it over to the nearby branch of the association on the way here. Judging by the time, professional hunters should have already arrived in the Republic of Localio, or even infiltrated NGL...'

Horus suppressed the tremor in his heart, quietly lowered his body, and followed a column of soldier ants while carrying the old-fashioned musket.
