Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World

Lynn sighed inwardly, then burst forth with a large amount of ice that froze the attacking Nen insects. At the same time, he swung his sword and forced Nobunaga back.

Without self-awareness, Nobunaga became a fearless robot with only one program: to attack him. Even if he was injured, it would not affect him in the slightest.

Unfortunately, he never showed his full strength from beginning to end!

The next moment, Lynn unleashed an even stronger aura than before, his boundless spiritual energy bursting forth, the air waves expanding outwards, the powerful air pressure causing his hair to comb up, making him look like a Super Saiyan.

The fifth gate, the Du Gate, open!

"Hyōrinmaru!"

With a low shout, the Hyōrinmaru in Lynn's hand shone brightly, quickly completing its Shikai. Astonishing energy flowed through it, and then a blinding blue light burst forth.

【One-Sword Style: Hundred Flowers Burial】!

Peng!

Hyōrinmaru swept past Nobunaga, as if to cut him in two. A dense chill enveloped him, turning him into an ice sculpture before exploding into ice crystals.

Faced with such eerie thoughts after death, even being cut in half at the waist might allow them to continue acting. The "crushing bones and scattering ashes" method of the Hundred Flowers Burial is a good solution.

Nobunaga is really dead now, and at least we managed to get one of his cards.

Name: Roronoa Zoro

[Grade: A]

[Type: Character Card]

[Background: One Piece]

[Introduction: A powerful swordsman of the Three-Sword Style, possessing exceptional swordsmanship talent, adept at breaking through limits and growing stronger in adversity, and proficient in various types of sword techniques; a reliable partner.]

Chapter 157 A+ Rank Gengar! Mega Evolution Gengar!

It's Zoro!

As the second-in-command of the Straw Hat Pirates and a Yonko's right-hand man, Zoro can even hold his own against Yonko-level powerhouses, making him one of the top swordsmen in the pirate world.

Even his current swordsmanship largely originates from the B-rank "Zoro One-Sword Style," and now Zoro himself has been revealed.

I still remember that Zoro's One-Sword Style was revealed by Nobunaga in the Fantasy Simulation Battle, and now Nobunaga has been strengthened by his post-death spirit, giving him a big surprise.

Zoro, despite being an A-rank fighter, is naturally not as strong as he is in the original One Piece manga, but even so, he is still a top-tier fighter across the six continents.

Moreover, judging from the description, his Zoro seems to have a "sit-up" passive ability. The more he loses to others and the more adversity he faces, the easier it is for him to grow. Perhaps his growth rate is no slower than that in the original work.

He's desperately short-staffed right now.

Although there are quite a few character cards, most of them are support characters. For example, in battle, both Yoto Hime and Yuki Onna are on him, Capone is not by his side, and Erina doesn't have much combat ability.

The appearance of Zoro, a high-level combatant, is like a timely help, raising his overall combat strength to another level.

From now on, he will also have a "royal deputy" to protect him.

In a way, we have to thank Nobunaga and Dark Sonata, otherwise even if Zoro were revealed, he would probably only be an A- rank.

Quickly gathering his thoughts, Lynn's eyes gleamed as he stared at the jealousy that was causing a commotion not far away, ready for anything.

At this moment, jealousy was surrounded by many death thoughts, but they failed to harm him and were instead used by him.

Death Thoughts became the perfect breeding ground, rapidly nurturing special thought insects. In just a moment, a five-meter radius centered on Jealousy was filled with countless thought insects, emanating the same aura as Death Thoughts.

Is he using the idea of ​​death?

Lynn frowned, surprised that there was such a talent. Normally, even Nen users would avoid Death Nen like the plague, as it is an absolutely harmful thing.

That person, however, was completely different; he was more like his Gengar, capable of using Death Thought.

The current environment is actually conducive to Rock's performance. With such a large number of Nen Insects, he managed to perform at an A-level level with his A-level strength.

"Hehehe...Enjoy it!"

"This is my greatest masterpiece, an unparalleled work of art!"

"Let me hear the beautiful, melodious screams of that genius!"

Jealousy's deathly pale face revealed a twisted excitement as he gazed at the swarm of Death Worms he had created, eagerly anticipating the sight of Lynn being engulfed within them!

It must be admitted that Lynn is very strong. The strength he just showed exceeded his expectations. However, Lynn had just gone through a battle and was quite exhausted. On the other hand, he was not only in his prime but could also take advantage of the environment. The advantage was in his hands!

In this environment where the will to die was extremely strong, his strength was greatly amplified!

He might not even need to test the waters; he could bring Lynn back in this battle and exceed the arrogant boss's expectations.

But before that... it wouldn't hurt to let his darlings eat some of Lynn's flesh and satisfy their desires a little~

buzz-

No sooner had he finished speaking than a swarm of Death Worms rushed over like a dark cloud descending from the sky, sending chills down one's spine.

You don't even need to touch them; just one glance is enough to tell that they must be extremely dangerous.

The death thought... it's best to let Gengar handle it. Lynn caught a glimpse of Gengar, who was still working with Bisgey to deal with the shadow, out of the corner of his eye. It seemed that Gengar was out of the question.

Then let's use brute force!

Lynn's gaze sharpened, and he suddenly unleashed a dazzling aura. A surge of Nen energy flowed rapidly across his body, flowing towards the Shikai Hyōrinmaru, spreading a bone-chilling cold.

The next moment, the ice-blue longsword sliced ​​through the air.

Five ferocious-looking, massive ice dragons roared away, freezing everything in their path. They opened their blood-red maws and plunged into the swarm of Death Insects, wreaking havoc.

【One-Sword Style O Ice Dragon O Dragon Star Cluster】!

After learning the [Dragon Star Cluster] technique, he can unleash multiple ice dragons in one go, and their power is even greater than before.

In an instant, a large number of Death Worms were torn to shreds and turned into dust, the ground trembled, and thick smoke and dust rose into the sky!

Jealousy was startled. Suddenly, Lynn burst out of the dust and smoke, holding Hyōrinmaru, ready to attack him.

You underestimated him! Jealousy smirked, and as Lynn approached, his body suddenly exploded, transforming into countless thought insects. Half of these thought insects attacked Lynn, while the other half scattered and coalesced into Jealousy's figure beside him.

[Insect clone]!

At such close range, Lynn would have no time to dodge, and once entangled by his Death Worms, his condition would be greatly reduced.

As Jealousy had predicted, when the Death Worms surrounded Lynn, even though some were frozen by the cold air, others successfully attacked, and Lynn's condition visibly deteriorated.

Then, something unexpected happened to Jealousy. As the Death Worms focused their attack on Lynn, a second Lynn rushed out from the smoke and dust from the side at high speed, unarmed but with a fierce aura and even faster speed than before.

The rabbit symbolizes extreme speed!

two?!

Jealousy's expression changed; what exactly happened?

Can he also create clones?

There was no time to dodge!

In the heat of the moment, Jealousy instinctively tried to raise his arms to block in front of him, but having missed the initiative, he was too late to defend himself.

Lynn's gaze was cold as he assumed the stance of the Flowing Rock Shattering Fist, his fist radiating an aura even more powerful than Uvogin's Super Destructive Fist.

With a single punch, he broke Jealousy's arm as it tried to block, and with another punch, he precisely struck Jealousy's chin.

boom!

His chin was struck hard, his jealous face contorted, he felt dizzy, the pain shot straight to his brain, and his consciousness began to blur.

The person was launched high into the air, then crashed to the ground like a meteor, creating a crater with a deafening roar. Dust swirled in the air, and the tremendous boom echoed in the cave for a long time.

The jealousy he felt now was shattered and ruined beyond recognition, completely unlike his arrogant self from before. Furthermore, due to his long-term use of his body to feed the Nen worms, his body had become completely withered after his death.

After defeating him, Lynn also received a new card.

The A-rank parasitic insect technique has many uses, but unfortunately, its drawback is that it requires using one's own body as a nest to raise insects, which Lynn finds unacceptable and can be used as a sacrifice.

Lynn looked around. Leorio's situation was almost resolved; the only thing left to deal with was the shadowy figure.

He quickly composed himself and ran towards the central ruins.

At this moment, Bisgey in her middle-aged "tough guy" form is fighting the shadow alongside Gengar, but after a long battle, the effect is not obvious.

The Shadow is similar in mechanics to the Death Note; it can be gradually reduced by breaking it apart and then letting Gengar absorb its energy.

However, it seems to be exceptionally difficult to fight because it absorbed the souls of Uvogin and others, and it is very strong in both attack and recovery.

Even Bissie couldn't gain much advantage against such a bizarre enemy, and even needed Gengar's assistance, otherwise she would have been finished if she were entangled by the Death Note.

That's what makes the mechanism so powerful.

Peng!

Bisji's massive punch landed precisely on the shadowy figure, but it felt like hitting an extremely soft ball of cotton.

In reality, it didn't cause much damage; it only caused some of the black mist to dissipate, which Gengar, who had been eyeing it from the sidelines, took the opportunity to devour it.

Seeing Lynn arrive, Bisge's furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

To be honest, she was under a lot of pressure.

Although Gengar was nearby, which protected her from the interference of the Death Note, the music kept playing, and being so close, she was still significantly affected.

In just a short while, she felt mentally exhausted. If it weren't for the years of hard work that had given her an unyielding will, she probably would have left long ago.

This music is more than just sound; even if you try to block your ears, it won't help. Sound is merely a vehicle; the real attack is contained within it, capable of affecting the soul regardless of obstacles.

Upon seeing Lynn, the person it loathed so much, approach, the shadowy figure suddenly trembled, unleashing a strange aura!

Countless deathly thoughts swayed around it, exuding a dense aura of darkness, as if it could devour everything.

Almost instantly, the dark figure swiftly pulled on the violin in its hand, producing a sharp, piercing sound. The violin conjured up streaks of jet-black blade energy, faintly gleaming with a chilling light.

The blade energy, formed from a thick aura of death, shot straight towards Lynn!

This single strike alone demonstrates that the shadowy figure possesses A+ level strength, and every move it makes poses an astonishing threat!

Peng!

Lynn raised his hand to parry with his sword. Hyōrinmaru collided with the sword energy, and after he increased the force, the sword energy dissipated first.

The next moment, Lynn's figure flashed, appearing in front of the black shadow like a ghost, and the Hyōrinmaru burst out with a dazzling light and suddenly slashed down!

【One-Sword Style o Ice Light o Lion Song】!

A terrifying slash landed directly on the shadowy figure, as if it had struck empty air. It was a downward slash, but the shadowy figure continued to move, and another sharp blade of energy came whistling in.

In a moment of haste, Lynn blocked the Hyōrinmaru in front of him, but even so, he was still forced back a bit by the enormous power.

It's tough.

Lynn remained expressionless, simply coordinating with Bisge; he would strike with his slash, and Bisge would deliver a punch, attempting to accelerate the weakening process.

With no one left on the field, Shadow should no longer be able to replenish its soul, and its recovery ability should gradually decline. Meanwhile, Gengar is constantly devouring it. With this ebb and flow, Shadow's defeat is only a matter of time.

But time is precisely a big problem.

He has the Sheep Charm for protection, and Gengar's situation is special, so neither of them will be affected, but Bissie will be affected.

Judging from her condition, she cannot continue the attack for much longer. She will have to leave the battlefield soon, otherwise her soul will be damaged.

When only he and Gengar remain, the efficiency will be even lower.

He is currently maintaining his state of having all five gates open, which is why he is not at a disadvantage. However, he will soon be out of this state and return to his normal A-rank strength. At that time, he will not even be qualified to fight unless he uses his trump card, the Senzu Bean, to replenish his strength.

The Dark Sonata lives up to its name; it is indeed eerie and troublesome. If it weren't for Gengar, they would probably have chosen to leave the moment they heard the music, let alone try to destroy it.

Even with Gengar present, their battle was still difficult, resulting in a stalemate. They were locked in a war of attrition, seeing who would give up first.

It's probably not S-rank, but the shadow is definitely A-rank at best. In fact, because of this mechanism, even a strong person like Netero wouldn't want to fight it. After all, there's no benefit in fighting it, and it might even capsize. If you can leave, you'll leave.

But having finally encountered such a special and formidable enemy, Lynn didn't want to miss out, so he decided to hold out for a while longer and see how things went.

If there's a chance of victory, then eat a Senzu Bean and defeat it.

If there's not much of a chance, then take Bisji and the others and retreat. If necessary, we can deal with it when we're stronger.

The situation on the field remained deadlocked for a while, and Leorio and Pjorn, who were not far away, could only watch helplessly as Lynn and the others fought fiercely, praying in their hearts that they could win.

They are not even qualified to participate in the battle; rashly joining the fight would only cause trouble for Lynn and the others.
