Hunter x Hunter: Kurama joins the Phantom Troupe

"Go stop the bleeding and tell me my name. You have done a good job for a human being." (Ant King)

The Ant King shook off the blood on his hands and looked at President Netero, whose right leg he had cut off.

The president stood there motionless.

"What's wrong? With that amount of bleeding, he'll die soon." (Ant King)

"Don't be ridiculous..." (President Netero)

President Netero glared, and slapped his big hand on the broken limb to stop the bleeding with his muscles... He stood on one leg...

"Who do you think will die next? It's just a matter of falling over. Don't be complacent. From now on, the key to victory or defeat will begin!" (President Netero)

The ant king stretched out his right hand...

"Next, it's your left arm..." (Ant King)

……

The two's attack and defense lasted less than a minute...

"This is the last time in my life..." (President Netero)

Endless sparks flew between the two, and then the flowers withered soon after...

The slight preference, habit, and tendency of his moves cannot really be called a form. The ant king, who used his body as a shield to block Netero's palm strike, finally found the right needle in the vast universe...

As blood flowers bloomed again, President Netero's left arm flew into the air...

Both sides stopped, squatted down, and looked at each other...

"Now you should be convinced, hurry up and tell me my name." (Ant King)

The president's mouth curled up...

"My king... do you think I can't pray without a hand?" (President Netero)

“Prayer is something that comes from the heart, and it depicts a specific individual with the mind, turns it into thought, and bears fruit.” (President Netero)

"Hundred-style Guanyin, Zero Palm." (President Netero)

Baishi Guanyin appeared again, but this time behind the Ant King...

The two giant palms gently wrapped around the enemy, and then Guanyin's abyssal giant mouth containing stars began to condense Netero's energy... turning it into a light bullet as bright as a star...

This is the merciless roar of Baishi Guanyin...

……

Netero gasped for air and struggled to support himself with his only remaining right hand. At this moment, his body was as thin as a stick of firewood, and he seemed to have aged hundreds of years...

At this moment, he is almost exhausted...

The old man looked at the approaching ant king with his cloudy eyes...

"This is the highest realm of the individual. Your attack was truly spectacular." (Ant King)

The ant king already had many wounds on his body...

But that’s all…

"Even Zero-no-sho..." (President Netero's inner voice)

"I am the ant king who was born at the top. I am the embodiment of the chimera ant race's desire to rule the world. The entire ant race has evolved only for me. I am the result of the selfless dedication of the entire ant colony." (Ant King)

"And I am the king that the whole tribe is waiting for. This is the difference between you and me, the key to victory or defeat. After a long period of evolution, all the fruits of the birth of the Chimera Ants are gathered in me." (Ant King)

"But now we don't need humans to breed Chimera Ants. I've realized that human self-awareness will affect the development of our species. For your sake, I will consider the quality and quantity of humans I eat." (Ant King)

"Your lonely fight was not in vain. I will not say the following words a second time. Say my name." (Ant King)

The words of the Ant King have already shown his respect for President Netero...

The president is a guy he admires...

……

President Netero gave a bitter smile, then turned to the sky and laughed loudly...

"I am not... fighting alone..." (President Netero)

The president looked at the ant king

"Don't underestimate humans, Meruem. Meruem is your name." (President Netero)

"Don't underestimate the endless malice of humans! Ant King Meruem, it seems you don't understand it at all!" (President Netero)

"The infinitely evolving malice of mankind..." (President Netero)

With the ant king's first look of fear since his birth, the president thrust his right hand into his own heart...

Once the president's heart stops beating...

The powerful rose bomb in his body will explode...

"So... you've got me in trouble from the very beginning..." (Ant King)

"If there is a hell, let's meet there..." (President Netero)

A huge rose-shaped mushroom cloud exploded in the wilderness...

This is... the rose of the poor...

……

"King!" (Yupi, Pufu)

The two flew into the sea of ​​fire...

Soon after, Youpi was wailing while holding the ant king whose limbs had been blown off and turned into charcoal...

Suddenly, Pufu seemed to have thought of something...

He actually… He actually turned his clones into particles, letting them drill into the ant king’s mouth, allowing the ant king to swallow and absorb them…

As the ant king began to absorb the larger and larger Pufu clone, his body regained its color. At this moment, it was like a burning charcoal, emitting a dazzling light...

"Delicious... More..." (Ant King)

This was undoubtedly the greatest honor for Pufu. He seemed to be possessed by a demon and threw all his clones into the ant king's mouth...

Yupi was not to be outdone. He placed his finger on the ant king's lips, concentrated his cells into liquid, and dripped the essence into the ant king's mouth...

……

Not long after, the ant king who had devoured most of Pufu and Yupi's body was resurrected with full health. He climbed out of hell with even more powerful strength...

It's just that... he seems to have lost some memories, including those about wheat...

For example, he didn't recognize Pufu and Youpi, but as soon as he saw them, he remembered them...

This is probably the amnesia caused by the explosion of the rose bomb...

The ant king seemed to have forgotten something very important, and he seemed to have asked Peter to do something...

……

The ant king devoured the bodies of Pufu and Yupi and gained their abilities...

I saw huge wings like Yupi growing behind him.

"These wings seem to be a natural part of my body." (Ant King)

The ant king muttered.

At the same time, two guards who had become smaller because they had lost most of their bodies also grabbed the ant king's tail stinger.

The ant king flew up and rushed towards the palace...

……

After returning to the palace, the ant king met Wilfin...

From Wilfen's mouth, he finally knew who the guy he had been looking for was...

wheat……

He finally remembered Xiao Mi...

He saw Xiaomai again in Bizefu's underground warehouse...

At the same time, in the fierce wind outside, Youpi and Pufu fell to the ground with blood spitting out of their mouths...

The poison of the rose of the poor has already invaded their cells, and the ant king will soon die...

In the last moments of his life, he wanted to spend it with Xiaomai...

"Wake up, Xiaomai... It's time to play chess..." (Ant King)

"I have been reborn, so you should be prepared to lose a few games in a row." (Ant King)

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for rescuing me." (Xiaomi)

"If you want to thank someone, thank my men. They saved you." (Ant King)

[The three guards worked hard for the king, but in the end they did not have a good ending...]

[Each of them was thinking about the king before they died, but in the end they were poisoned to death by the rose...]

[King... you still failed them in the end...]

[Sometimes I feel bad for this kind of relationship between the ruler and his subjects...]

[May the guards still be able to serve as the king’s guards in the underground…]

Xiaomai and the ant king...they sat in front of the chessboard...

They introduced each other's names as if they were meeting for the first time.

This was the most perfect game played by the Ant King, but he still lost to Wheat.

"If you win again, what reward do I want?" (Ant King)

"Once again, please play with me." (Wheat)

"You really asked a stupid question..." (Ant King's inner voice)

Although he already knew the ending, he didn't seem to have time to fulfill it. The ant king was a little tired and said he wanted to take a rest...

But in the end, he lay quietly in Xiaomai's arms and fell into a permanent sleep...

And soon, Xiaomai will follow him...

"Xiaomi...are you still there..." (Ant King)

"Yes, yes." (Wheat)

"Xiaomi...are you still there..." (Ant King)

"I'm always by your side..." (Wheat)

"I feel... I'm a little tired... I want to sleep for a while... just a little while..." (Ant King)

"Good night... Meruem... I will be with you soon..." (Wheat)

[The sparks created by the strong and the weak, and the beauty of going to hell together]

[I gave up everything for you, and I am your only one]

[Strength is my weapon to protect you, and military ceremony is the bridge between us]

[Two people who should not have interacted with each other, developed a love that transcended species...]

[May they be able to meet again in hell... and continue... playing... the game of military ceremony that has never been completed...]

……

Chimera Ant Suppression War...

Finish……

……

[President! Rest in peace!]

[Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!]

[I almost cried to death while watching this episode... President!]

[Ahhhhhhhhhhh!]

[I want to cry... I really want to cry just to write this chapter and recall this episode... My eyes are already sore...]

……

[Good morning, President... Are you okay...?]

[You show the Buddha's benevolence to others, and fight your enemies with the body of a demon...]

[When your fingers are inserted into your heart and the rose blooms, the whole world will cry for you!]

[The pinnacle of martial arts, the leader of hunters, the strongest man in the world, rest in peace, President!]

[Inside and outside are one!]

[The brighter the light, the darker the darkness!]

[Two overlapping futures!!!]

[President Netero! Thank you... You are humanity's eternal hero...]

[Take a good rest...]

[You...are already very tired...]

[Good night……]
