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

A great scientist possesses energy beyond imagination.

His research findings are not limited to individuals; they can be applied to the whole, enabling more people to become stronger or achieve other goals.

And that was one of his goals.

He had originally intended to explore the Dark Continent, to navigate through its mystical locations, defeat calamities to obtain cards, and gain hope...

However, his individual exploration efficiency is limited, especially after obtaining the [One-Star Dragon Ball], he has a greater need for resources, and disaster and hope are even more important to him.

So he had an idea that would sound absurd and surprising to others.

Conquer the Dark Continent!

He wants to take over every inch of the Dark Continent and collect its resources, which requires manpower—a large enough manpower to do so.

For example, first establish a base on Lake Möbius between the six continents and the Dark Continent, then establish a base on the edge of the Dark Continent, gradually expanding the area. When conditions are right, production lines can be formed.

Even if he never leaves his home, a steady stream of precious resources will flow into his hands, allowing him to continuously grow stronger.

There are three main issues here.

I. Strength.

He needs to be strong enough to eliminate the high-risk factors in the areas he's interested in.

He has been working hard on this.

II. Staffing

Both the vanguard and the logistics require a large number of personnel. The vanguard is responsible for dealing with the remaining relatively low-risk factors after they are in charge, and then the logistics manages the resources.

Therefore, he needs to have his own power.

The character cards are powerful, but there aren't enough of them.

He currently commands two major forces: the Capone Gang and the Zoldyck Family. While the number of members is decent, the quality is somewhat lacking.

Those few Zombiemens alone are not enough.

Few members of the gangs are truly capable.

This requires improvement. Selecting loyal subordinates and then using Orochimaru's research results to strengthen them is one approach.

He also thought of the Seven Deadly Sins. After Pride was killed, the Seven Deadly Sins were leaderless. The Seven Deadly Sins didn't just have those seven people; there were many others under them.

Currently, his puppet [Gluttony] is the interim leader, which can be considered half of his power. He plans to find an opportunity to take over completely.

Chapter 243 S-Rank Devouring Power! Lynn is the Champion!

The third point is transportation, or rather, traffic.

The six continents, which are the same size as the Earth, are merely islands in Lake Möbius. It is hard to imagine how big Lake Möbius is, or how vast the Dark Continent on the other side must be.

Even disregarding the dangers along the way, the time required to travel from the six continents to the Dark Continent alone is measured in months or even years.

The time spent traveling back and forth is quite expensive.

Therefore, the time cost should not be underestimated. A single trip takes a lot of time. In order to utilize resources on a large scale, there must be ways to save time.

He can't do that for now, but he thinks the Door-Door Fruit is a solution.

Once the level reaches a certain point in the future, it may be possible to establish coordinates in various locations, greatly saving transportation time.

In this way, a complete industrial chain is formed.

He went to the new location first, dealt with the most dangerous part, and then read the message.

Your subordinates followed up, clearing out the remaining enemies while developing resources.

Then, the resources are transported to the designated location via teleportation.

Some resources were allocated to Orochimaru for research, aiming to mass-produce the product and develop more uses, such as strengthening his subordinates.

Some of the resources can be used directly by him.

If this continues, he will grow rapidly like a snowball, not only as an individual, but also by cultivating an astonishingly powerful force, or even leading the entire six continents.

Collecting her thoughts, Lynn proceeded to the next step.

This fighting tournament was quite fruitful. Not only did they defeat Jade and his group, but their two apprentices also took down all the bosses, resulting in the acquisition of several new cards.

After the sacrifice, his points were enough to upgrade an A+ card to S- rank.

He had already considered this beforehand, so he didn't hesitate and chose to upgrade his A+ level Devouring Power.

The [Power of Swallow] has multiple abilities, the most important of which is the third one: it allows one to use the Devil Fruit's abilities without any side effects.

He used the power of the Swallowing Soul to master the power of the Door-Door Fruit without any side effects.

After inquiring with the Gate of Truth, he learned that the S-rank Devouring Power would be more useful and could also enhance his Devouring ability.

For example, an A+ level Door-Door Fruit ability will be upgraded to S- level.

This is equivalent to getting two things for the price of one, which is very cost-effective.

Similar to how the Demon Blade Princess devours a famous sword.

【Name: The Power of Devouring】

[Rank: S-]

[Type: Ability Card]

[Background: One Piece]

[Introduction: Derived from the Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit, this ability has three effects. Effect 1: Amplification, further enhancing the effects of consuming food. Effect 2: Assembly, allowing two incomplete items of the same type to become whole, or to combine two items of the same type into an enhanced version; there is a chance of failure. Effect 3: Devouring, allowing the consumption of items without side effects, becoming one of the abilities. Current remaining consumption quantity: 2. Has already consumed the Door-Door Fruit.]

Even after being promoted to S-rank, the main abilities of the Devouring Power remain the same three, but they have all been enhanced to varying degrees.

For example, the first boost will be stronger when you eat delicious food in the future.

The second point is that splicing adds the effect of a combined, enhanced version.

For example, he can combine two Poké Balls into a more powerful Great Ball?

His main concern was the third point.

In addition to the original quota, he received two more slots with no side effects, and the surprises didn't stop there.

The effect of "no side effects" is not limited to Devil Fruits; it can also be other foods, allowing the user to enjoy the ability without incurring side effects.

There are quite a few foods of this type, and many of them not only have benefits, but also come with a price to pay for those benefits.

But now he doesn't have to worry anymore.

He has two full slots and can master the ability without any side effects.

Lynn then examined the changes in the Door-Door Fruit, which could also be called the Power of Doors.

Similar to the Devouring Power, the Door Power still has the same three effects as before, but all have been improved. For example, the cost of [Open Door] has been further reduced...

The key element is naturally the [coordinates].

Previously there was only one [coordinate], but now the maximum number has reached two.

This means he can travel quickly between two places that are far apart.

This is undoubtedly an extremely useful ability.

This perfectly aligns with his plan to conquer the Dark Continent.

The cost of teleporting to the coordinates is much lower than that of normal teleportation.

For example, if he is currently in one place on the Six Continents, and then teleports to a location half the distance of the Six Continents, the required mental energy consumption is very small, and it will be replenished by himself in no time.

Now he has two coordinates, one at home and one in the Dark Continent, which saves him a lot of trouble.

Lynn was secretly delighted; this fighting tournament was really well organized and worth the trip.

Not only did they gain S-rank Orochimaru and A+ rank Gakumaru, they also successfully upgraded the power of Sukuna and the power of the Gate to S-rank.

In addition, Gatomon and Gengar also benefited greatly, mainly the former.

First, Gatomon was promoted to A+ rank, gaining the ability to briefly evolve into its Ultimate form. Then, it destroyed Jade, fulfilling the "Punishing Evil and Promoting Good" effect, further enhancing its strength.

……

Meanwhile, in the Sky Arena.

"Lynn... won!"

A faint murmur broke the silence in the audience.

Faced with the confrontation between Lynn and Jade, even though most of them couldn't understand the moves they were using.

However, you can still feel the tense atmosphere in the picture, and even the heartbeat seems to be faster.

I held my breath and focused throughout, acting as a very well-mannered "movie viewer".

Whether the fighting tournament can be held or not is no longer important to them, since they just want to see Lynn.

It's obviously better to fight this villain who appeared out of nowhere than to fight those relatively weaker landlords!

Experts fight each other, and experts fight each other.

These viewers would definitely prefer to watch the former.

Thus, under Lynn's fierce attack, Jade was "crushed to ashes".

That's when we heard that person's murmur.

Then came the scene of Lynn releasing Chairman Netero, the two of them standing proudly at the top.

Clearly, this was a resounding victory!

They could all see clearly that the man was completely vulnerable in front of Lynn's "pet".

With someone taking the lead, the rest seemed to fall into place naturally, and the audience became a sea of ​​cheers, with everyone shouting the name Lynn.

After today, the image of the strongest Lynn will be forever etched in their hearts!

Because my interest in him has completely changed!

Previously, they only liked Lynn because of his experience and strength in defeating the landlord all the way.

This stems primarily from a desire to emulate the strong.

Things are different now.

Their idol, the mighty Lynn, saved them from an attack by an unknown force.

Although they weren't harmed in the original story, the Preta later went to fight Gon and Killua.

The remaining robots were easily defeated by Bisgei, without even needing to transform.

But they were unaware of it.

Without Bisge's intervention, they would have thought that if Lynn hadn't been there, they would probably be dead.

As a result, these people's admiration for Lynn grew even stronger!

This is a life-saving grace!

For them, Lynn was not only an idol, but also their savior.

"Phew~ Is it finally resolved?"

"But I have to say, their strength is truly terrifying!"

Bissie sat in her seat and watched as Jade vanished into thin air. She breathed a sigh of relief, while also marveling at how terrifying Lynn was.

"Those two spirit beasts gave me such a strong sense of oppression..."

"And this is only what's on the surface; who knows if there are many more that haven't been exposed yet?"

A look of deep surprise appeared in Bisji's wine-red eyes as she rested her chin on her hands and spoke.

Lynn is really over the top!

Not only is he himself strong, but the spirit beasts he releases are also incredibly powerful, each possessing astonishing abilities.

No wonder he's the new strongest in the world!
