Hunter x Hunter: The Strongest Zoldyck

"Deepdiver Jumongard..."

"well....."

Bolt sighed deeply, and several memories of Jumengaard flashed through his mind.

Deep One Yumungard, a forbidden creature active in the waters near the Dark Continent.

It has no fixed form or appearance; its appearance is altered and disguised based on the partial memories of the victims it reads.

It can be anyone, anything, or even any living being.

Wherever it exists, it will bring profound chaos and disaster.

You will begin to lose the ability to distinguish whether the people around you are your family, friends, or Jumongaard.

It will begin to live in fear day after day, and what's most terrifying is that it will drain your "life energy" and "emotions" from your fear.

Once a certain threshold is reached, it will begin to multiply infinitely, splitting into countless Yumongards, and gradually replacing their original owners.

Until a city, a country, is completely swallowed up and replaced by it.

This is the Deep One, Jumongaard.

One of the forbidden creatures defined by the V5 Joint Investigation Team.

Item No.: DA-017-Ω

Species code name: Deep Diver Yumungard

Threat Level: B (Single Unit) / A (Cluster)

Classification: Exophytic parasitic abiotic organisms

Recommendations: Engagement, contact, and observation are not recommended.

The only effective response is to evacuate before being discovered.

.......

Fortunately, it's still a single entity...

It's still within our control. If it degenerates into an A-level group, then we'll probably be wiped out.

Lost in thought, Bolt couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Fortunately... fortunately it was discovered in time.

But... we need to hurry, otherwise once the Yumongards start nesting and multiplying, it will be uncontrollable.

Thinking of this, a hint of urgency flashed in Bolt's eyes.

"Saan...you should go too..."

A tone of utter helplessness and sorrow came from Bolt's mouth.

He knew what his instruction meant.

Saen Lockhart.... A Nen user with special abilities, one of the strongest Nen users in the Seven Seas Alliance.

Comparable to a two-star hunter from the Hunter Association.

According to the Hunter Association Chairman Netero's classification of Nen power levels:

If we were to categorize him by "excellent," "outstanding," "talented," and "extreme," he would at least be considered an "outstanding" level Nen user.

Such a powerful being... if he were to start slaughtering ordinary people, it would be devastating.

"Have you finally made up your mind, Bolt?"

Saen smiled slightly:

"You should have done this a long time ago. Deep One Jumongard is not so easy to find, otherwise why would it be called Deep One?"

"And everyone on this ship has long since become its pre-ordained food. If it finishes feeding, they will surely become monsters that we cannot defeat..."

"So...we had no choice in the first place, didn't we?"

Saen's eyes gleamed with an eerie light; his mind had already been activated.

With his body radiating outwards, the situation within a hundred meters was clearly visible in his perception.

"Sahn, you're always like this, always rational, always ruthless..."

Bolt, watching Saen already unleash his full power, couldn't help but mutter a few words:

"But... don't forget, we are gatekeepers first, then pirates. Killing is not our responsibility; protecting is our duty."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Saan was unimpressed. Centuries had passed. What Seven Seas Alliance? What gatekeeper? Wasn't it better to be a free-spirited pirate?

They insist on rigidly adhering to outdated rules such as not plundering merchant ships, not killing innocent people, and only patrolling the entrance to the Dark Continent's shipping lanes.

Forget it, let's get to work first, otherwise it'll be troublesome if Bolt changes his mind.

Saan was very perfunctory in his attitude towards Bolt. After answering Bolt's instructions, he immediately began to take action.

First there was the second floor, then the first floor, and finally the third floor.

With its round, sculpted form, the Saen, like the eye of God, saw all the fleeing people clearly.

"One...two...ninety-nine..."

"Two hundred...two hundred and one..."

"..."

Each count signifies the passing of a life.

In just a few minutes, he had plowed up the entire Augley.

Under his control, black holes swallowed countless lives.

Among them were the elderly, children, and women and infants, but it seemed to make no difference to him.

All he cared about were the numbers he mentioned.

"Two hundred and three...two hundred and four..."

"Two hundred and five..."

"two hundred......"

"..."

Muttering to himself, he walked the entire Ogley over and over again, and he began to precisely screen the survivors.

However, there were still a few people he could never find.

It's unclear whether it was eaten by Yumengad or simply hid well.

Oh well, if we can't find them, we can't find them. It doesn't matter if Yumongaard eats them all.

Having reached the end of the deck, Saen withdrew his Nen, preparing to conserve his strength to face Yumongard...

............

Second deck.

The sea breeze blows in from the sky, carrying the salty smell and the coolness of the night.

Under the twinkling starlight, the Ogilvy shimmered with mottled colors.

But... no one was in the mood to look up.

Bolt stood on the ship's side, with his back to the cabin.

His shadow was stretched long by the moonlight, extending from the deck all the way to the pile of cables, like a silent boundary... No one dared to cross it.

Thump! ...Thump! ...

Two loud thuds of heavy objects falling to the ground were heard.

They are Fika and Kurta girls.

After leaving the two behind, the blond, muscular man immediately knelt on one knee and shouted in Bolt's direction:

"Lord Bolt..."

Under the deep night sky, Bolt slowly turned around.

His gaze, filled with scrutiny and displeasure, fell upon the blond giant and the red-haired woman.

"Why did you bring them here?"

"I don't want to witness your killing."

"Take them away, take them somewhere I can't see them and deal with it."

"Lord Bolt, he said they are from the Zoldyck family..."

Under Bolt's imposing gaze, the blond, muscular man immediately lowered his head, placed his right hand on his chest, and responded in a low voice with his upper body slightly bowed.

"Zoldyck?"

Bolt's voice rose a decibel.

"are you sure?"

"I'm not sure."

The blond, muscular man lowered his head even further, almost touching the deck.

"So we brought them here for your perusal, sir."

Only the sea breeze was blowing, the sail ropes were creaking, and the sound of waves crashing against the ship in the distance could be heard.

Bolt's gaze swept over the blond, muscular man, then over the red-haired woman, finally settling on Fica and the Kurta girl.

And in the instant I saw them clearly.

He recognized them as the same children who had been with him on the deck.

clatter......

Bolt took a step forward.

The shoes made a clear sound as they stepped on the wooden planks.

Then he took another step, walking towards Nafica and the Kurta girl.
