Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

"Hehe..."

Netero stroked his short gray beard, his long earlobes fell, and a smile like a devil's living Buddha appeared on his face.

He already knew what had just happened.

Everything originated from Germain himself. He had a bad habit.

Geno and Netero mentioned it, and Netero himself had experienced it. I believe that every opponent of Germain has experienced similar experiences to a greater or lesser extent.

He always makes judgments about the enemy based on his impressions, and then attacks after retaining his strength.

Germain's judgments are usually accurate, and he can kill the enemy at a very low cost with almost the first strike.

However, there are always exceptions.

At this time, Germain will quietly increase his combat power like adding weights, until he finds a combat power that can compete with the opponent, and then he will stop.

He will wait for the opponent to adapt for a while, and then break the balance at a certain moment, often in unexpected circumstances, severely injuring the enemy or even killing the enemy.

This was the case when Germain fought against Silva, against Zeno, and against Netero.

This is a bad habit.

It is a style of play that involves both risks and opportunities.

If Germain fails to maintain balance and control the rhythm, he may not have the opportunity to burst out his remaining strength.

Especially when the opponent's combat power is far greater than his, this method is meaningless, but will instead expose him to a huge flaw and put him in a very dangerous situation.

Netero asked Germain why he had such a habit.

Germain told him that it was because he often had to face attacks from different times, places, and people, and these attacks were often unexpected and continuous.

The reason why he always controlled his combat power and retained his remaining strength was that he thought that although he had ended this battle, it was common for him to start the second battle in the next second.

Germain pursued defeating his opponent at a very low cost because he always thought his situation was very bad, was tense, and was always ready to continue fighting.

The facts of the past year have also proved that he was indeed constantly attacked.

Over time, Germain developed such a bad habit.

However, it was precisely this bad habit that caused Meruem to misjudge and plunge into the trap woven by Germain, and thus lost a tail.

Meruem's prediction is precise, and it takes all factors into consideration, just like playing chess, considering countless chess moves.

Once a judgment is made, it is determined to win.

In order to make such a judgment go wrong, some of the factors must be wrong in the initial measurement.

Based on the wrong premise, a wrong judgment will be made.

The more confident a person is in his own judgment, the more likely he will fall into Germain's trick.

Netero became interested.

Meruem, if you always show your back to Germain, don't blame Germain for suddenly jumping on you and biting you...

Germain moved his feet coldly.

Suddenly, his skin tightened, and the armor on his body sank in, tightly connected to his body like a tree root, and the pain came again.

Yes, it was "again".

The armor on Germain reminded him of another game he had played before - "Contempt".

It is like Germain's "secondary face", but without the consciousness of the "secondary face".

While this armor brings Germain a combat power improvement like the strengthening system, it also constantly tortures him physically and mentally.

The manifestation is pain.

To reduce this pain, Germain needs to fight, fight, and fight continuously.

Once he stops, the pain will come again.

This is the same as the switching frequency of the silver-white halo and the dark crown on his head.

For this reason, Germain called this set of armor that is increasingly integrated with the mind beast Chaos Roar "Contempt Armor".

The torture of physical and mental pain did not force Germain to take action immediately.

On the contrary, he waited more and more patiently, and even began to adapt to this pain, treating it as part of his instincts such as hunger and fatigue.

Is this numbness to pain, or confusion in the cognition of "pain" itself?

Germain is not sure.

But Meruem figured out something in this short truce.

He sighed softly.

Because after the attack just now, he finally understood that Germain was a character that he could not persuade to surrender.

Because Germain's fighting power was already a threat to him as the "king".

Meruem persuaded Netero to surrender because there was a clear difference in fighting power between them. He believed that he could subdue Netero and make Netero return to his heart.

This was the pride brought by the "three guards" bowing to him and having no rivals since their birth.

However, Germain pulled off his tail and also pulled off this layer of pride, revealing his true body on the throne.

If he was the "king" of the Chimera Ants, then Germain should be the "king" of humans.

If Germain was the king of the six continents, Meruem would not have so many questions about human society.

In Meruem's cognition, it is impossible for a "king" to kneel down and surrender to another "king".

The only outcome of failure is death or dormancy in secret.

Anyone who surrenders and submits to the rule of another "king" cannot be called a "king". He is just a monkey wearing a crown.

Immediately, Meruem forcibly stopped the bleeding on his tail just like Nitro had done before, like a tight water pipe.

And his eyes were always fixed on Germain.

After revising his understanding of Germain, Meruem's attitude towards Germain also changed.

Those that truly threaten you must be eradicated.

Nitro was shocked to notice that the aura exuding from Meruem's body had changed...

That was something that was never emitted when fighting him...

murderous look.

His emotions were complicated. On the one hand, he was disgusted with Meluem's contempt for him, and on the other hand, he was nervous about the murderous intention Meruem had towards Germain.

Meruem's next offensive will be launched with the purpose of killing Germain, and it will be much more intense than before.

Nitro's hunch was correct.

Meluem's crimson murderous aura was like substance, instantly filling the entire abandoned underground testing site, making even Nitro frown.

Nitro couldn't see clearly when he ejected towards Germain again.

However, what surprised Nitro was that Germain responded in kind.

Nitro could not clearly see the actual scene of their instant struggle, but he could feel the strong collision of two majestic thoughts, which vibrated and caused smoke and dust to fly in the ground.

The explosions came one after another, sounding like a series of explosions occurring at the same time.

However, Nitro knew that the explosions were actually sequential, but the intervals were compressed to the extreme, making it sound like they happened at the same time.

That was a world that only Nitro, who was in his fifties and in his prime, could glimpse.

Now he can only stop and watch outside this world.

Flesh and blood were flying everywhere, the floor was cracking, the stone pillars were shaking, and the momentary struggle of life and death made breathing seem to have stopped.

In this world, only Germain could see that Meluem had that greedy smile on his face at this moment.

This is Meruem's true nature.
