Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

After narrowing down the range of the ripple radar, Dia, whose intelligence had returned to its peak, frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

He suddenly felt a discordant vibration in his [Ripple Sensing], which made Diya stop abruptly and look ahead warily.

There were several rats covered in white fur. Unlike the ones that had rushed up to bite him earlier, these rats were behaving stiffly and remained motionless. However, when they saw him approaching, they all turned to look at him!

That is…

Diya, with her sharp eyes, spotted several moon markings that looked like children's doodles on a huge iron pipe next to the rats!

Dia suddenly felt that the mark looked familiar, just as he was trying to recall where he had seen it before.

The seemingly dull mice suddenly let out a shrill scream, as if their tails had been stepped on, and jumped up, crashing into the pipe marked with a moon!

In an instant, light and sparks appeared at the point of impact!

Upon seeing this, Dia suddenly realized that the moon mark was one of the abilities Kuroro had demonstrated in the manga—the mark of the "Pair of Destroyers"!

【The Pair of Destroyers】can leave a sun mark on their left hand and a moon mark on their right hand. When the two touch, an explosion will occur!

Although Kuroro's right hand is occupied because he has to hold the book all the time, if we have to say, he should be able to leave a mark with the back of his hand as well.

'The World!'

Without hesitation, Dia roared inwardly and activated Time Stop, then decisively and desperately began to run towards the passage beside him!

He already knew what Kuroro was planning; the pipe in his ripple radar led directly to the rows of strange spaces beneath his feet.

On that pipe, several large characters were clearly written: "Danger of biogas!"

boom--

A deep, muffled thud, like a roar from the depths of the earth, caused the sewer floor to instantly buckle and crack, with clods of earth and gravel violently thrown up by an unseen force.

The scorching heat wave spread violently outwards in a ring from the point of explosion. Cracks appeared on the surrounding walls, and the bricks and stones on the ground crumbled inch by inch. The powerful shockwave, carrying the impact, produced a terrifying and earth-shattering roar!

Chapter Ninety-Six: The Dust Settles Down × A Heavy Snowfall

On the top floor of the Empire State Building, a terrifying gale swept through the entire floor.

"【Flying Delta】"

"Your dance was wonderful, but it's a pity you met me."

Vincent said calmly.

He was riding on a whirlwind, firmly anchoring himself in mid-air. His clothes, adorned with mysterious patterns, were neat and clean, and his posture was upright and powerful.

Opposite him was Peeling Lev, whose entire body was filled with invisible gusts of wind, and who was even trapped and unable to move.

Upon hearing Vincent's words, even the proud Porrolev could only show despair and lower his arrogant head.

He lost.

The opponent's abilities are completely countered.

Sound is the vibration of air. When the airflow is controlled by the enemy, even the most skilled [Bap] (fighter) cannot play music.

The "Battle Dance" theme has become utter nonsense.

Vincent turned his lizard eyes, staring at the dejected Lev who had slumped down, and pondered:

'The Judondu tribe... I can't believe I've met them here...'

'When I got back, he had just woken up. Miss Qiduo and Mr. Dia weren't there, and they didn't restrain him in any way...'

'There should be more than one enemy. Another enemy lured Miss Keido and the others away. Mr. Mitchellston should have arrived by now. It should be three against one or three against two on the first floor now...'

As for why it's not three against three, it's because if there are three enemies on the first floor, plus the Judundu tribe's Bap in front of him now, there are four enemies. Judging from the skilled combat ability of the person in front of him, the others are not much worse.

In this situation, even with Mizziston added, the enemy would still be outnumbered four to three, and they shouldn't have been in such a sorry state.

'It seems they can't take that gem. Let's proceed according to plan...'

Vincent skillfully blew out the air around Peelev, suffocating him until he passed out, and then let the gale carry him and Peelev into the chaotic elevator shaft.

Boom boom—

Vincent, who was bending down and falling vertically, suddenly heard a muffled, booming sound, like a bronze bell. The entire Empire State Building and the elevator shaft he was in trembled slightly, making him alert.

'An enemy?'

Sensing something amiss, Vincent quickened his pace. At this point, he had no information about the situation and had no idea how to respond.

This unexpected situation prompted Vincent to accelerate again, and he reached the elevator entrance on the first floor in just a few seconds.

What Vincent saw was a smoke-filled lobby on the first floor, with cracks all over the walls and a terrifying crater in the center of the floor.

Near the gate lay a ragged man, his fate unknown.

Boom!

A faint sound caught Vincent's attention. He turned his head and saw a crack suddenly appear on a fallen wall!

The next moment, the wall was smashed to pieces by a fist.

From the ruins of the broken wall, Qiduo, covered in bloodstains on her body and face, suddenly jumped out and looked around.

Vincent's eyes narrowed the moment he saw Kiyoko.

Miss Kita appears to be injured, but what about the enemy?

"Waaaaah, waaaaahhhhh!"

When Kido saw Vincent rushing out of the elevator shaft, she instantly shouted an angry question.

Vincent: ? ? ?

Completely bewildered, Vincent then realized that Qiduo's tongue had been severed, which surprised him even more.

What exactly happened, and what is Miss Kita saying?

She was probably asking, 'Vincent, where have you been?'

A steady voice came from the doorway.

Mitchellston walked into the hall unhurriedly, his clothes slightly torn and covered in dust.

But he didn't seem to be injured at all, and he wasn't even bleeding. He looked much better than Qiduo.

He translated Qiduo's words with a mixture of guesswork and certainty.

He also wanted to know where Vincent had gone.

Why did Vincent, who was supposed to be waiting for them at the Empire State Building according to the plan, not show up at the very beginning of the battle?

Instead, it arrived late at this very moment, just as everything was coming to an end.

Vincent remained calm in the face of either angry or questioning looks from Qiduo and Mizziston.

He simply waved his hand, summoning a strong wind until the powerful but harmless airflow swept away the smoke and dust in the hall. Only then did he leisurely walk into the clean hall and explain:

"Please calm down, gentlemen. I received a secret report not long ago that the underground passage had been attacked by the enemy and that there was a fear of enemy invasion. That's why I left my post to investigate."

"I thought nothing would happen since I was only away for a short while, but I was ashamed to find out that the building had been attacked as soon as I came back."

"I apologize for placing you in such a dangerous situation, and I thank you both for your bravery in fighting the enemy..."

After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

Faced with Vincent's impeccable reasons and well-reasoned words, Keido and Mitchellston had nothing more to say, and now was not the time to blame each other.

Qiduo and Mizeston exchanged a glance and decided to ignore him for the time being.

Mitchellston addressed Qido:

"We didn't catch him. That Gara must have been knocked away by a special Emission-type ability."

"But with Jack here, I'm not worried he won't come back."

Qi Duo nodded in agreement.

After all, Mitchellston is a criminal hunter, and he is more familiar with the current situation. Listening to him won't be a mistake.

Suddenly she frowned, remembering the huge explosion she had just heard.

It seems... to be coming from underground?

Suddenly, a sense of foreboding arose within me.

'Could it be related to Dia...?'

Thinking of this, a surge of anxiety rushed into Qiduo's brain, and she couldn't suppress it no matter how hard she tried.

She flashed away, and without explaining where she was going, she rushed out of the building.

In the hall, only a bewildered Vincent and a thoughtful Mitchellston were left, staring at Kita's retreating figure.

Vincent turned his head, about to ask Mizziston what had happened, when he saw him pick up the unconscious stranger from the ground and say:

"Let's lock this guy up first; we'll need him later..."

"As for Qiduo, she must have gone to find Dia, right?"

After saying that, Mizaston's eyes showed a strange look. It was clear that this was the first time he had ever seen Qiduo so flustered.

The other party seems to be a little too concerned about this student, Dia.

'It must be her [student], it can't be...'

A strange thought suddenly popped into Mitchell's head, but the next second he chuckled and shook his head to dismiss the unrealistic idea.

how can that be possible?

That serious and proper Qiduo...

Vincent nodded in understanding after hearing what Mitchellston said.

Since they were going to see Mr. Dia, it makes sense, since it's obvious to anyone with eyes that their relationship is unusual.

Just then, the noise from outside the building and the sound of police sirens coming from afar caught their attention.

The two looked at each other and walked out of the hall at the same time.

Seeing the chaotic crowd and the three charred corpses not far away, Mitchell frowned:
