Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 409 The News Brought by Lucci

The King Ant's emotions were complicated as Pouf died right before his eyes.

Since his birth, despite being suppressed from the very beginning, he was very confident that he was born to rule the world.

He might not care much about subordinates like the three guards.

But now, after being hit hard by "reality," he realizes that he was never unique.

He was about to die, and one of his men died before his eyes.

This made him wonder if the humans who competed against him were always trembling with fear, afraid that they would die at any moment.

The ant king wasn't afraid, he was just somewhat unwilling.

He was unwilling to die like this; he could become stronger, given enough opportunity.

Unfortunately, he no longer has that opportunity.

Netero didn't give the King Ant much time to think; he delivered several heavy blows, finishing him off completely.

Without any hesitation.

Some also commented, "If someone could teach him, it could be a very exciting battle."

Chris, standing to the side, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Old man, you really have a twisted sense of humor! Haven't you been preventing him from learning about this information all along?!"

He personally guarded the vicinity of the palace, not giving it any possibility of going out. If this could defeat him, then the Ant King would be too monstrous.

Despite having Lucci as a safety net.

However, faced with the chimeric ants that could potentially harm humans, Netero couldn't help but keep the threat within his control.

Even when he killed the Ant King, the battle in the palace was not yet over.

It's unrealistic for the two Neteros to kill the two guards quickly.

"Lucci, you've been watching this place the whole time, haven't you? You should need his body too!" Netero said to Chris.

Chris's expression froze.

Their affairs have never been disclosed to the outside world, and it seems that they cannot be kept in the dark from this old monster.

Chris was silently complaining to himself.

A portal of light suddenly appeared, and Lucci's figure emerged from it.

With a smile, Netero said, "I understand you less and less now, and I'm even losing the will to challenge you."

He said it with a smile, but his tone was slightly heavy.

It's no wonder Netero felt this way; he had seen Lucci's Susanoo, and its ability to cleave mountains and split seas was terrifying.

When combined with other abilities, the level of "godhood" has become increasingly difficult to fathom.

Netero couldn't even imagine what Lucci's limits were.

Because Eru is still getting stronger.

"Master, you're exaggerating. You're incredibly strong right now."

If he didn't count himself, Lucci couldn't imagine anyone else who could be Netero's match, not even the ever-striving Bisky.

Lucci believed that even on the Dark Continent, Netero would be a powerful being capable of surviving.

"His body is indeed of great research value."

Besides their research value, their bodies also served multiple purposes.

For example, it can be used as a material to create divine artifacts, or it can be integrated into dungeons and secret realms.

Unfortunately, he did not seem to have strong emotions before his death, and he did not develop any thoughts about what would happen after death.

Otherwise, Lucci would really like to see it for himself.

"Oh, by the way, Biyander will be visiting Cree soon," Lucci casually informed Netero.

"Is it starting again?" Netero simply sighed.

Ever since Bi Yangde successfully brought back "some" hope from the Dark Continent, he knew that this would definitely happen again.

It is possible to enter the Dark Continent without going through the gatekeepers, despite the great risks, as humanity's strength continues to increase.

These risks are also gradually decreasing.

Having had experience before, Bi Yangde will choose more reliable teammates.

There are also such candidates in Kerry.

This time, Bi Yangde's target is longevity rice. Last time it was because of a deviation from the course, this time Bi Yangde simply wants to select even those who have the "ability to determine direction".

Make sure you don't lose your way.

Nitro didn't care about Biyande's behavior.

However, what Lucci said next greatly shocked Netero.

"This time, I might also choose to go to the Dark Continent." Although there was uncertainty in his tone.

But Netero knows Lucci well; if he brings this up, the chances of it becoming a fact are very high.

Although he had known this day would come, it still shocked Netero.

Looking at the many changes in the Sky Arena, it's clear that Lucci's growth has never been solely due to arduous training.

Furthermore, the concept of "wealth, law, companions, and land" was proposed.

It is very convincing.

For Lucci, the Dark Continent was definitely a treasure trove.

The information they had was nothing more than a travelogue of the New World.

This is just one record around the eastern side of Lake Möbius, but there are four directions: east, south, west, and north.

Besides the area around Lake Möbius, there must be many other things on that vast dark continent that are similar to Longevity Rice, or even more valuable than it.

It's like an unknown treasure trove has been laid out before us.

How could Lucci possibly give up?

Even if Lucci uses Susanoo, it wouldn't be considered a large object on the Dark Continent, but judging from Netero's knowledge of the creatures on the Dark Continent...

They probably pose no threat to Lucci.

Even if it were the Five Great Calamities, Netero believed that with Lucci's current strength, he might not be unable to withstand the harm they brought.

Lucci's strength is already overwhelming, so he can wait until the next sign-in session to make a decision.

But Lucci couldn't wait any longer, as there were still several years to go.

Even when facing rule-based abilities, the power of the Holy Grail is sufficient to resist them; Lucci has already expanded the scope of the Holy Grail system.

The people in this world don't understand magic or magic tricks, so even if they discover something, they can't understand it.

Lucci even wanted to see what was different about the Dark Continent and whether the ley lines there could also be used.

Perhaps this could further enhance the power of the Holy Grail.

Lucci was even curious whether the World Tree existed on the Dark Continent.

Lucci had seen and explored the World Tree of the human world, and it was in a state of malnutrition.

The known human world can be considered a place "isolated from spiritual energy," while the Dark Continent is "abundant in spiritual energy," so the creatures there are all very large, and creatures that have mastered the power of "rules" have also been born there.

"This time, it might bring about a big change to the world."

Lucci does not intend to involve the other two worlds.

Not only would it cause trouble, but it could even trigger a "world war".

After all, both of these parallel worlds are about to move towards the "Watari Arc".
