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

It was Kim Freecss who made his unexpected appearance!

Just when everyone thought he would disembark from the flying monster, he suddenly appeared behind them.

In fact, he landed ahead of time, found a corpse that had lost its will to die, studied it briefly, and got a general understanding of the situation before arriving at the plaza.

Jin put his hands in his pockets, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then walked silently to the front of the line amidst a variety of different gazes, staring at the blood-red cocoon.

This is... Xiao Jie's father!

Leorio and Kurapika stared intently at Ging, scrutinizing him, before exchanging a frown and looking at each other... What a slovenly man.

"Is he really Gon's father?" Leorio couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He couldn't see any resemblance between Kim and Jet Li.

"If I had to say... it's his eyes." Kurapika, who was very sensitive to and observant of eyes, whispered, "His eyes are a lot like Gon's, that focused look."

Jin's ears twitched slightly. Although he didn't speak, he heard both of their voices. Were they Xiao Jie's friends?

"Jin, what are you doing in the capital?" Kang Zai rushed forward and asked urgently.

Jin then broke the principle of "silence is golden" and spoke in a very straightforward and annoying way: "It's a long story, and I don't think you have the patience to listen to the whole process, so I won't waste your time."

This guy.

Kang Jae glared at Kim. He really didn't want to be around Kim because the guy's way of talking always made him uncomfortable.

Even though what he said was true...

“You all leave here. I guarantee there will be no one within a kilometer radius, except…” Kim ignored Kang Jae and addressed the crowd, then looked at Lynn with piercing eyes, “You’re Lynn, right? Stay and help me out?”

"Okay," Lynn readily agreed.

Everyone understood that the next round was a high-level game, and only Kim and Lynn were qualified to participate. The best help was for everyone else to stay away.

After everyone left, Jin gave Lynn a very simple self-introduction: "Nice to meet you, I'm Jin."

"Those two people who manipulated death thoughts died at your hands, didn't they?"

Lynn nodded slightly, then asked curiously, "How did you make that judgment?"

Jin glanced at the large, blood-red cocoon not far away, showing little sign of anxiety. His every movement was calm and composed, and he spoke slowly:

"Because you are the only one in this city who has the ability to deal with those two Satans."

Let me give you a simple explanation.

"I happened to discover some clues during my investigation, so I went to the capital of Reges, and that's why I'm standing in front of you now."

The two people you met tonight belong to a rare and powerful race called the Satanic. They worship a demon king and possess the power to control death.

“Every so often, Satan’s people will travel across the six continents. They will place something called the ‘Seed of Death’ or ‘Demon Embryo’ in densely populated areas, using people’s lives to nourish the Demon Embryo, and then collect the Demon Embryo.”

"When a demonic fetus grows to a certain stage, it can form what the Satanic people call a 'demon child,' which is often very powerful."

"But there is a prerequisite: one must not die while the Satanic people are spreading the demonic fetus, otherwise the demonic fetus will most likely go out of control and become an uncontrolled product of death, just like this big cocoon."

"The appearance of the giant cocoon here means that the Satanic people are dead, and tonight in the capital, you are the only one who can do this."

Jin looked at Lynn, his tone clearly showing admiration.

Lynn's ability to exorcise spirits was even greater than he had anticipated, as he had managed to deal with two Satans without sustaining any injuries.

But that wasn't the only thing that surprised him.

From the moment he arrived, he paid close attention to Lynn, and his senses further alerted him to Lynn!

A faint red glow, visible only to him, shone on Lynn's body.

His perception is divided into three colors.

Harmless green.

Yellow has some strength, but still poses no threat.

A red that could hurt him, or even kill him!

Lynn's color is light red, which means that Lynn could potentially hurt him if conditions allow!

Don't underestimate the fact that he was only injured. Fighting Nen users is no simple matter. Being able to injure them might be the key to advancing further. This is something that definitely needs our attention.

While it might seem like self-promotion, it's undeniable that very few people on the Six Continents can do this, and today Lynn is one of them.

Lynn's strength and the potential threat he posed were far beyond his expectations, something he hadn't anticipated at all.

This renowned exorcist is truly a master of disguise.

What an interesting person… Jin’s eyes gleamed slightly.

He is a powerful exorcist with exceptional exorcism abilities, ranking among the world's top, and also possesses top-tier combat power.

These two identities, which are considered to be opposites in the public eye, appear in the same person.

Mind Masters are rare, but he has seen some, and among them, Lynn is the most powerful, arguably the best.

While Jin was sizing up Lynn, Lynn was also paying attention to this seemingly "unruly" protagonist of Gon's search for his father, one of the top fighters of the six continents.

Kim has many titles, but the most famous is the Pig of the Twelve Earthly Branches, and one of the world's five greatest Nen users.

It's uncertain which stage it belongs to, but it's definitely within the S-class range, and it's even stronger than the current old man Netero who is old and frail. It might even be S-class.

Jin continued, "The reason I can be sure it's two people is because the size of this cocoon doesn't seem like something a single demonic fetus could form, so I guessed it was two people."

"A corpse-thinking incident occurred in the capital tonight. To achieve this goal, two conditions need to be met: controlling others and having a strong ability to spread the virus. I'm afraid this is the ability that the two demonic fetuses possess."

"The life form being conceived within this giant cocoon is very likely to inherit both of these abilities, so I'm only allowing you, who possesses the ability to exorcise thoughts, to remain here, and no one else is needed."

Jin had only been in the capital of Reges for a short time when he quickly analyzed the process and the result, arriving at a highly accurate judgment.

“Your assessment is absolutely correct,” Lynn nodded in confirmation. “So, what should we do with this large cocoon?”

Jin replied without hesitation, "This large cocoon can also be called a demonic embryo. It has absorbed the lives of many people and is in a state of out of control. It only wants to evolve into a demonic child based on its instincts."

"But it's clear that not many people died tonight. You must have dealt with those two Satans quite early on, so this demonic embryo didn't absorb enough energy and therefore couldn't evolve."

"Of course, even so, it is still a product of death, and there will be risks in taking rash action. What we need to do is wait."

"When it detects a lack of energy, it will prematurely condense into a semi-finished product and actively attack humans to plunder their lives."

"That is, premature babies."

“If it were a real demon child, it would be troublesome to deal with, but it’s just a demon fetus, so you don’t need to worry.”

"I'll take care of it later; you'll be in charge of clearing away the deathly thoughts it's escaping."

As he spoke, Jin reached his right hand into his robe, rummaged around, and pulled out a clean-looking apple: "Hey, want an apple?"

Lynn glanced at Jin's slovenly appearance and the apple, which, although clean, still looked unappetizing, and shook her head: "No need, you eat it."

"Fine." Jin didn't care and took a bite, making a crisp sound, leaving a clear tooth mark on the apple.

Jin sat down cross-legged, chewed twice and swallowed, then got down to business: "Actually, my trip here wasn't just to resolve this matter; I have another purpose."

"I have something I'd like to ask if you're interested."

Have you ever heard of the Dark Continent?

The Dark Continent? Upon hearing this, Lynn raised an eyebrow: "I've heard of it. It's the real world beyond the six continents."

“Now that you know, it’s easier to communicate.” Jin said while eating an apple. “We’ve discovered a strange place on the western seabed of the continent of Yurubian, which seems to be related to the Dark Continent, so I would like to invite you to join our team.”

Jin explained the ins and outs and introduced the team members. He believed that quality was more important than quantity, and that everyone should have their own role. Four people was a good choice.

Therefore, he invited Piyon, an ancient text hunter whose Nen ability allows him to explore information about unknown things, and Nob, who can create four-dimensional spaces and is extremely supportive.

Finally, there is Lynn, who possesses top-tier exorcism abilities and immense strength.

Chapter 182 Top Exorcist! A Mysterious Demonic Embryo!

It turns out that Jin's purpose in coming here was not only to deal with the Satanic people, but also to invite him to join the team and explore a special location that is suspected to be related to the Dark Continent.

Lynn could understand Kim's thoughts very well.

Since it's related to the Dark Continent, teaming up with an exorcist is naturally the best option.

Kim has a keen eye for talent, and the other two members, Pjorn and Nob, are also excellent choices with their own strengths. Although there are only four of them, the abilities they can bring to the table are considerable.

"I will do my best to protect you. You just need to do what Nob and the others do and use your abilities."

Although Lynn's strength makes him seem nothing like an exorcist, he doesn't appear to need much protection.

But Jin will still do his best to protect the three of them. After all, he extended the invitation and is the nominal captain, so he has to bear this responsibility.

In fact, Lynn was an extremely important part of his plan.

If Lynn hadn't joined the team, this operation probably wouldn't have happened at all.

Jin finished the apple in a few bites and clapped his hands: "I'm not the only one who knows about that place. Others will be there, such as the United States of Saherta in V5 sending people to investigate."

“There is a strong barrier of death energy around that place. We are still trying to deal with it, but it won’t be easy to resolve.”

"If you were to take action, the success rate would be even higher."

"After all, you are a top-tier exorcist who single-handedly resolved the deathly aura of the Sares Ruins."

Jin sat on the ground and looked at Lynn, speaking with confidence.

Lynn himself may not realize it yet, but it is undeniable that he is already a world-renowned exorcist.

Especially after he single-handedly removed the deathly spirits from the so-called "dead zone" of the Sares Ruins, some people began to call Lynn "the world's number one exorcist".

Because Lynn's deeds were truly astonishing.

Death thoughts are inherently extremely dangerous things, and even experienced exorcists dare not hastily accept commissions to deal with them.

Even most exorcists can only "suppress" or "seal" death thoughts, rather than truly remove them.

If ordinary thoughts can be removed, they can be removed; if not, it doesn't matter much. It's just that the person who commissioned the removal will suffer, but it won't have much impact on the exorcist.

However, death thoughts are different. If one is not careful, the exorcist will die on the spot. It is extremely risky, and only a few exorcists are willing to accept the commission related to death thoughts.

Even so, the extent to which they can achieve this is extremely limited.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many undeveloped relics on the six continents.

Humanity has a long history, having migrated from the dangerous Dark Continent to the six continents of the Lake Island, leaving behind various relics over time.

Almost every country has numerous historical sites, both large and small.

According to statistics, only 24% of the ruins have been thoroughly explored, 55% have been partially explored, and 21% are completely unexplorable!

Many strange and mysterious dangers remain deep within these dark and sunless ruins, and are related to early human history or even the Dark Continent.

And the vast majority of these are due to the obsession with death, preventing people from exploring further.

Lynn believes that this is a good thing in some respects.

If even the first hurdle, the will to die, cannot be overcome, then there is no point in exploring further; it would just be a waste of effort.

The fact that so many people are contemplating suicide reflects the extreme danger lurking within.

Like the dark sonata deep within the ruins of Sares, if he hadn't been there, everyone else would have either died or fled; there was simply no way to deal with it.

From this perspective, it is clear that the thought of death is actually protecting humanity.

However, looking across the entire Six Continents, there are few people who can handle large-scale death thoughts as easily as he can, so there is no need to worry.

This is precisely why his achievements are so significant.

Before this, no one had ever heard of a spirit exorcist who could remove the death spirit from an entire ruin in a short period of time by himself.

Lynn was the first person in history to achieve this.

Therefore, naturally, some people believe that he is the strongest exorcist.

But what others don't know is that he can only remove death thoughts, making him a one-sided exorcist.

"You flatter me." Lynn's gaze remained calm before accepting Kim's invitation.

He was indeed interested in the place Kim had mentioned.

Both the large amount of dead thoughts and the characteristic bars that might appear in special locations are very attractive to him. Moreover, this time Jin is leading the team. With one of the world's top five leading the team, he can save a lot of effort.
