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

A tremendous amount of energy poured out, instantly splitting the massive Jupiter in two, creating a powerful atmospheric pressure and whipping up a fierce wind, giving everyone a strong visual impact.

Boom!

The body fell to the ground.

Peel Lev, die!

Following the sharp blade of light, two incredibly thick Nen ropes whistled past. These ropes were composed of countless fine Nen threads and could slice a person into pieces in an instant.

March wanted to catch Lynn off guard and deliver a fatal blow!

Lynn's expression remained unchanged, but he displayed a speed beyond Machi's imagination, swinging his sword again with a backhand and easily severing the Nen thread!

Seeing the Nen Thread easily severed, Machi's expression turned solemn.

The gap in strength is too big...

Even if the timing is carefully chosen, it will be ineffective. In the face of absolute power, such a scheme is completely futile.

In a daze, Machi's heart tightened, and she subconsciously tried to retreat, but having just launched an attack, she couldn't quickly channel her Nen energy to her feet, so her speed wasn't fast.

Suddenly, several shadow orbs shot out from the shadow beneath her feet, striking her with tremendous force, unleashing a burst of immense energy.

Peng!

Machi's pupils contracted, and before she could react, she was blasted away. Her entire body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into a high wall and being buried halfway under the rubble.

An overwhelming pain surged through Machi, her consciousness blurred, and only one last thought remained in her mind... Was this all she could do to buy herself this much time...? Her eyes darkened, and she breathed her last.

Machi, die!

In this extremely short time, of the three remaining members, Peelev and Machi died one after another, leaving only Chrollo, the leader!

The evening wind howled, and Lynn calmly gazed at Kuroro, who had been silent and motionless since the beginning.

Even the deaths of Lev and Machi did not cause any fluctuation in the eyes of this lone commander; he simply stared quietly at Lynn.

This made Lynn curious about what Kuroro was planning.

In such an extreme situation, what can he do?

Finally, after a few breaths, Kuroro, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, his words slow and deliberate, as if he were recounting a trivial matter, and he sighed, "I underestimated them... I didn't expect that the truly troublesome ones would be the Nen beasts."

Then he slowly raised three fingers.

"Three minutes, you and I only have three minutes."

"Either you lose everything, or you win everything."

"To be honest, I personally don't like gambling; I prefer to do something that is 100% guaranteed to succeed."

"But in this world, there is never a 100% certain outcome, so I was mentally prepared to make a crucial gamble one day."

At this point, Kuroro lowered his center of gravity slightly, stared intently at Lynn, and said, word by word, "Now is the time!"

After speaking, Kuroro suddenly unleashed Nen far exceeding his usual level. The vast and surging Nen soared into the sky, and his entire being exuded an exceptionally powerful aura.

He has just successfully established constraints and oaths.

He must successfully steal Lynn's Nen ability within ten minutes, or he will die, in exchange for the maximum boost, including lenient conditions for the theft.

The three minutes was a lie to Lynn.

The reason why Chrollo stole Lynn's Nen ability instead of killing her was largely due to Chrollo's Nen ability and his inner thoughts.

Chrollo is essentially a very greedy person. He collects ancient books to gain more knowledge, and he collects Nen abilities to become stronger and more versatile.

That's why he developed the Nen ability "Thief's Ultimate," which has an extremely high potential.

At this moment, his mind was torn between killing Lynn and stealing Lynn's abilities, but he leaned more towards stealing the abilities!

At the same time, the greater difficulty in stealing it would result in a greater boost for him, increasing his chances of winning...

For a variety of reasons, he created this constraint and oath.

So, it really is a constraint and a vow?

Lynn's gaze sharpened, but he wasn't surprised.

In fact, establishing [constraints and oaths] is not so easy.

Not every Nen user can set it up on the spot if they want to.

Constraints and vows vary from person to person, and the main influencing factors include belief and talent. The stronger the belief and the stronger the talent, the greater the chance of achieving them, and the better the results.

There is also a time factor involved.

It's not something you can set up one second and then implement the next.

Belief plays a significant role, and it often takes a considerable amount of time to accumulate strong beliefs, thereby achieving constraints and vows.

For example, in the original story, Gon felt uneasy after learning that Kate was left alone to face Catwoman.

Even though they outwardly believed that Kate would be safe and sound and that they would be coming to her rescue, they were actually unwilling to accept the fact that Kate was very likely dead.

The negative emotions in my heart did not disappear, but continued to accumulate.

It wasn't until he followed Catwoman to Kate's body that this negative emotion transformed into an unwavering conviction.

Only by possessing both strong conviction and high talent can one achieve powerful constraints and vows in a short period of time, allowing Xiao Jie to shorten his growth time and immediately possess the body and strength of a young adult.

The time that Lev and Machi had just gained was not wasted.

In this extremely short period of time, Kuroro established powerful constraints and oaths based on his beliefs and talent.

Although the specific details are unknown, it is highly likely that he was given the power to achieve a level of strength that would be quite impressive even by A+ standards, at the cost of his own death!

Chapter 178 I didn't go all out! A+ Rank Zoro!

under night.

What one sees is terrifying.

After numerous battles, the south gate was devastated, with uneven pits and stubborn dust everywhere.

Only three pairs of people are still fighting now.

Tsunade and Gluttony.

Zoro and his rage.

Lynn and Kuroro.

At this moment, Kuroro, having activated [Restriction and Oath], displayed the most ferocious aura; this was a struggle before death.

Although the aura he exuded was as powerful and vigorous as the midday sun, his heart was decaying like a withered tree in autumn.

Strength has its limits.

For a moment, Kuroro was in a daze, feeling the endless, seemingly inexhaustible power and Nen within his body, and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

This was the strength he had always pursued, but unfortunately, he didn't possess it under normal circumstances; instead, he was forced to gamble with his life to obtain it.

From this moment on, his life has truly entered its countdown.

Less than ten minutes.

Kuroro looked up and saw Lynn's figure reflected in his deep eyes. He wanted to defeat Lynn and steal his Nen ability in this time!

If he succeeds, he will not only survive, but also gain Lynn's incredibly powerful Nen ability.

He believes that Lynn most likely possesses a Specialty Nen ability, and similar to his "Thief's Ultimate," it is mainly manifested in having multiple types of Nen beasts.

Undeniably, the Nen beasts that Lynn displayed made him extremely envious, which made him even more eager to reap the rewards after stealing them.

If things don't work out, there's nothing more to say.

Only death remains.

The next moment, the [Thief's Ultimate] scroll appeared on Kuroro's left hand. When it stopped on a certain page, he quickly teleported away, putting distance between himself and Lynn once again.

After creating some distance, Kuroro quietly placed a bookmark on the page for "Instant Teleportation," and then turned the book to another page.

[The Bookmark Chapter] is a branch of Nen ability that Chrollo has been thinking about for a long time, but developing branch abilities is not easy, so he has not yet succeeded in realizing it.

The power of constraints and oaths granted him this ability temporarily.

The Thief's Ultimate skill can only turn the page, and requires one hand to hold the book. Bookmarks solve this problem.

By placing a bookmark on a page, even if he removes the book and frees his hands, he can still use the abilities of that page.

If he holds up a book and turns to another page, he can use both the open page and the bookmark page at the same time, for a total of two Nen abilities.

Lynn remained expressionless, lost in thought.

After gaining significant strength, shouldn't the first reaction be to create distance rather than attack?

Despite Kuroro's attempts to conceal them, he was still able to see through Kuroro's subtle movements thanks to the Sharingan's excellent vision.

Now he understood Kuroro's plan.

With his increased strength and the addition of the bookmark chapter, Kuroro has become significantly stronger.

That's good, now he's even more qualified to take action!

Across from him, Kuroro held a book in his left hand, but his right hand was empty. He put away his dagger, thinking that Lynn should have seen it.

Regardless of whether he knew or not, let's assume Lynn knew he would use both abilities...

A series of chains appeared on Kuroro's right hand, floating up into the air and forming a chain circle in front of him.

In an instant, he stared at Lynn and activated teleportation.

It wasn't that he teleported to Lynn's front, but rather that he made Lynn teleport to him!

Although it can force others to teleport to a designated location, this ability consumes a great deal of Nen energy, and the stronger the target, the more Nen energy is required.

He hadn't dared to use it on Lynn before, but now he had a bit more confidence.

Once Lynn is in those chains, things will be much easier.

Even though he was mentally prepared, the frantic consumption of his spiritual energy still made his pupils shrink, exceeding his expectations.

Fortunately, it was a success.

The next moment, Lynn's figure appeared out of thin air in the chains, and sensing that someone had entered, the chains began to contract.

Once successfully bound, the sturdy chains will absorb the bound person's spiritual energy until they are trapped in a state of "absolute" weakness.

However, just as Kuroro had made up his mind, another unexpected thing happened.

Lynn, who had just appeared in the chains, vanished in an instant and suddenly reappeared beside him, his face cold and stern, before slashing a blade at Kuroro's back!

In an instant, the ice shone brightly!

Peng!

Before he could react, Kuroro took the sword strike head-on, a frost-covered wound appearing on his back, and he was sent flying forward!

Despite the pain, Kuroro quickly used Instant Transmission to create distance between himself and Lynn, while regaining his footing. A visible injury had appeared on his back.

His gaze turned serious, and his usual confident and self-assured expression vanished, replaced by surprise and doubt.

What is going on?

Lynn has the ability to teleport? And she teleported directly to his side and behind!

It couldn't be that old man's ability, because before using his ability, he would use [Nen] to expand a domain.

Why is it on the left side...?

At that moment, Kuroro's memories flashed through his mind, and then he suddenly remembered something, took off his coat and turned it inside out to take a look.

On the upper left back of the coat, which was torn open and stained with blood, there was a strange pattern near the shoulder!

He was certain that his clothes didn't have this pattern before.

It happened right now!

Kuroro recalled that when he fought Lynn at close range earlier, Lynn had touched this spot, and it was probably around that time that the pattern was left.

"You only just realized it now?" Lynn said with a slight smile.
