Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"That's all...?"

After eating the last piece of meat, and reaching out to grab nothing, Meruem realized that he had also eaten the mountain of food that seemed inexhaustible.

"What a pity...it was so hard to find food worth eating..."

Meruem calmly stood up:

"Never mind, I'm pretty full anyway."

After eating the strange creature that named him and the winged guy, Meruem felt about 60% full.

After eating all that junk food, he was not even 60% full; he almost vomited from disgust!

Compared to the "food" he had tasted before, that messy garbage was simply inedible.

Fortunately.

He found the red food before he became completely agitated by hunger.

It tasted great, and it completely filled him up!

A sinister smile appeared on Meruem's face as he stretched out his arm and clenched it tightly!

In an instant.

A terrifying aura surged into the sky, causing the entire anthill to tremble!

After you've eaten your fill, your energy will surge forth.

"What should we do next?"

The Ant King stopped stretching and walked to a nearby wall. He raised his arm, clenched his fist, and unleashed a powerful right straight punch!

boom!

The thick walls of the ant nest cracked instantly, creating a huge hole that allowed sunlight to stream in.

The once dark room was suddenly bright and airy!

"They've all run away..."

Meruem saw outside the anthill various broken tree branches and messy footprints of different sizes.

He immediately understood what had just happened.

I guess those good-for-nothings who were scared by him ran around in a panic.

I don't care.

A bunch of awful garbage.

You can neither eat nor play.

"Ok?"

Meruem's eyes flickered, and he suddenly noticed something...

……

In the grass.

"Holy crap, what kind of monster is that...? That aura is simply beyond the reach of humans..."

Maji, his face covered in cold sweat, carefully lay prone in the bushes.

Behind him was a seemingly dull-looking blonde female chimera ant, almost indistinguishable from a human, but her mouth was sealed shut with a stone.

Although there is no evidence.

But Maggie's intuition told him that this chimera ant was the same one that had been killed after entering the NGL with him.

He couldn't understand why humans would turn into chimera ants, but he felt he couldn't give up on her here, even though she was no longer human.

'But even as a chimera ant, that guy Sparta still loves to bite me. This time, though, I can really shut her up with a rock…'

Maji's thoughts wandered a little.

Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound behind him, followed by a voice:

"what do you?"

'What!?'

Like a mouse whose tail has been stepped on by a cat, Maji jumped up in fright, hopping several steps to the side, and looked behind him, covered in sweat.

It was a short, dark green figure that constantly posed a death threat to him, staring at Maggie with eyes as calm as a deep pool.

For a moment, Maji even felt the air around him freeze.

Maji will never forget the aura of that figure.

'It's that monster!'

Maji felt his brain trembling. He had clearly hidden several kilometers away, so how did this monster find him?

How did they get behind him so silently?

'No, that's not right... There's no point in thinking about that now. The important thing is what he's going to do.'

The moment Machi saw Meruem,

Then I realized one thing—he could never beat this guy.

This is a difference in the level of life.

Anyone who dares to lay a hand on him will be beheaded in the next moment!

Maki, whose nerves were already stretched to the limit, swallowed hard, remembering Meruem's question from earlier—

【what do you?】

What kind of question is this? It's all a jumbled mess.

Maji was almost going crazy; he had no idea what Meruem was asking him!

There was no reply for a long time.

Meruem asked somewhat impatiently:

"Are you deaf?!"

"...I am a hunter."

Maggie answered cautiously.

He could only give that answer, as if he had nothing to lose.

"hunter……"

Surprisingly, Meruem actually began to ponder this absurd answer.

When he was just born.

There was a creature that looked exactly like the human in front of him, and they fought a battle.

At the time, he thought it was just playing around.

But after he finished eating, he remembered some common sense things.

That couldn't be playing around; it was more like a fight, and the opponent was quite powerful!

While he can't compare to him, he's still much more interesting than the other trash.

So after feeling empty after eating, Meruem's first thought was to go find that person again and have some more fun with him.

So, was that human also a hunter?

Meruem asked:

"Are there any other hunters besides you? Where are they?"

Maji paused for a moment, then his brain started working frantically.

Is this monster inquiring about the whereabouts of other hunters?

He couldn't have asked that casually.

So, is this monster planning to target other hunters?

Maji pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, then looked up and said firmly:

"I won't tell you."

The moment those words left his mouth, Maggie prepared himself to die on the spot.

Even so, he couldn't possibly betray information about other hunters, especially since he genuinely didn't know.

In Maggie's memory, apart from him, a former professional hunter, no other hunters had come to NGL.

But what happened next took him by surprise.

After hearing his answer, the monster merely glanced at him indifferently, uttered an "oh," and turned to leave.

'He didn't kill me...?'

Maji stood there stunned for a long time before he realized what was happening and immediately took off running in the opposite direction from where the monster had gone!

Although I don't know what happened.

But it's better to survive than to die!

Machi's figure gradually disappeared into the jungle.

Meanwhile, Meruem was thinking about something else:

'Hunter, an interesting toy, a toy like that human, are there many of them there...?'

That human who called himself a hunter is not worthy of playing with me; he is too weak.

Moreover, Meruem was full and didn't want to eat anymore, so he didn't bother with it.

but……

Meruem looked eastward.

In some mysterious way, he seemed to sense it.

There are many humans in that direction, so there should be many hunters there too, right?
