Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 405 Preparations are complete

Inside the royal palace.

The three guards were all somewhat anxious at this moment.

Unlike in the anime, they were all born early and experienced a crushing defeat, so their mood wouldn't be so carefree.

Especially Puff's feelings; although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was actually in turmoil.

"They're probably surrounding us by now." Neferpitou's orb was still emitting irregularly, and he hadn't found anyone, but he was certain of that.

"There's been no news of any of the division commanders. They either escaped or they're dead." Yupi was even more composed than in the anime.

During this time, they have been trying to find opportunities.

They had the chance to kill Netero, but unfortunately, they couldn't do it, and they couldn't even force Netero to reveal his true strength.

Only the King Ant performed better.

But that doesn't change the situation.

There were quite a few people in the palace at this time.

One difference from the anime.

In the anime, there were very few living people in the palace, and even the Chimera Ants were few in number, until later on when Pouf personally modified five thousand people.

Now, in addition to the chimera ants modified by Pof, there are also quite a few humans in the palace.

The other humans who originally lived in the palace were mostly eaten by the Ant King.

The people in the royal palace now are all top performers in their respective fields in this country.

Of course, it has to be a competitive game.

Although they left NGL and came to East Godot, where it was far less closed off than NGL, they still didn't have much information to gather.

However, they did learn about some modern weapons, but of course, they were still not taken seriously by the King and the three Royal Guards.

Although the palace had electricity, its signal to the outside world was cut off, making it impossible to learn more about the outside world through television or the internet.

Unlike his initial tyranny, after coming into contact with humans and human culture, he became able to think.

Especially after competing against champions in various competitive fields.

With his powerful learning ability, the Ant King defeated one champion after another.

It is far more tolerant than in anime, giving more opportunities to those who fail.

This is also why there are a few humans in the royal palace.

Even after repeated failures, the final result was that he was transformed into a chimera ant by Puff.

Communication with the outside world mainly relies on the division commander and the human chimera ants sent out.

Now that all the division commanders have gone missing, and none of the modified chimera ants sent out have returned, the human chimera ants we have now are especially important.

Although it's different from the anime, they now have a basic understanding of Nen abilities.

They have all developed capabilities.

Pouf's real trouble now is that the King is getting a little "close" to a human.

To be precise, Wang encountered yet another human being he could not "defeat".

Of course, Pouf didn't believe that there was anything in this world that a king couldn't defeat.

The reason the king was unable to win was simply because he was only recently born and needed time to mature and learn.

It is also a dereliction of duty on their part as subjects.

Unable to provide the king with consistently nutritious "food".

The food here naturally refers to humans who have awakened their minds.

In the beginning, obtaining such food was relatively easy, and the people of the country were summoned by the order of King Donggoth.

Those champions will be kept, and the rest will be personally helped by Pouf to learn. Those who succeed will be used as food, and those who fail will either be used as food or transformed into human chimera ants.

Sometimes, even human chimera ants are considered a kind of "food".

However, their operations were affected by the intervention of the punitive expedition, especially since they were unable to go out.

Puff had tried sneaking out before, and with his abilities, it shouldn't be a problem.

But Nitero still blocked him.

It was as if the entire palace was enveloped by a circle-like power, and their every move seemed to be able to escape the notice of that powerful human.

The complete disappearance of the division commanders was a signal to them.

And in Nob's four-dimensional apartment.

A large group of people gathered here to discuss the next plan for the attack.

Because of the presence of the catwoman, they were unable to investigate a situation within the royal palace.

But the general situation can be guessed.

"Humans who have been modified can no longer return to their original form; the modification is not simply a matter of Nen ability."

They have already confirmed with a spirit medium.

The only thing that can be done is probably to remove Puff's control over them.

This is also their focus going forward.

Although they had all witnessed bloodshed, they were not indiscriminate executioners. They chose not to kill each other if possible.

It has been confirmed that Netero from Lucci's world will take over as the King of the Ants.

Without support from the Third World, their operations would have been much more passive, but now that they have a larger number of people, their operations are much more effective.

Neferpitou and Mentutuyupi, the two guards, were handed over to two other Neteros.

You can either restrain them or kill them.

Although they are just guards, killing them is not easy.

In the anime, one of them was killed by "cheating" and the other two were poisoned, so they didn't actually die at the hands of humans.

As for the remaining Pouf, due to the unique nature of his abilities, he is the most difficult to kill.

If the other party is determined to escape, it will be very troublesome.

Fortunately, they have divine artifacts from Lucci's world, which they can set up to expose Pouf during their actions.

Two of the Norbu were key figures in the operation.

Unlike in anime where surprise attacks are required.

In the anime, they launch a surprise attack from the sky to attract attention, then open the gates of the palace to launch a surprise attack and divide the palace.

But that's not necessary here.

Because they possess sufficiently strong combat power, Nob doesn't need to take any risks.

Their main duty is to transport the captured human chimera ants or humans from the royal palace to the four-dimensional apartment.

After all, if a real battle were to break out, it would be easy for this royal palace to be destroyed.

In order to save as many lives as possible, the abilities of the two Nobs are particularly crucial.

There were quite a few human chimeras in the royal palace.

But two Mo Laowu's smoke soldiers were enough to hold them back.

Once the two Nobs have set up enough "doors" in the palace, their actions will be much simpler.

The first thing to be arranged was the creation of the character "神" (god).

The four directions form a special barrier. As long as Pouf is within the range, no matter how many times he splits, he can be found. It cost a lot of money to buy this.

At the same time, everyone has a ring with the word "God" on it, which puts everyone in a "network" and connects them.

You can also be informed in advance of any unexpected situations.

After this incident is over, many people will go to the "First World" to work and pay off their debts.

When everything was ready, Netero, who had been sitting cross-legged in the distance of the palace, stood up.

He was venting his anger by issuing a notification.
