Chapter 248 Netero's Game Begins
Nitro, wearing clogs with only one sole plate, walked a few steps along the edge of the basin that he had punched with one punch after another, stroking his white beard.
This makes him, half bald and with fluttering sleeves, look like a Taoist priest or monk with an air of immortality.
"No matter how the rear operations meeting is held, I think the final result will tend to be the decapitation strategy with the lowest cost and the highest success rate..."
“If that’s the case, I need to space the floor and get one-on-one with Meruem.”
The name of the ant king - "Meruem", was learned from the dying queen of the group of chimera ants that surrendered to humans.
Nitro was at the scene at the time. Since the queen ant and the chimera ants basically communicated by radio waves, the queen's last words were conveyed by the chimera ants at the same time.
The queen ant died after saying this. Her last regret was that she could not tell the ant king his "real name" in person and see him rule the world.
These demihumans are really troublesome... they are too intelligent and have too many emotions, they are simply special humans.
Like a dictator in human history.
If they want to rule the world for the benefit of a small group of people, they will let a large number of innocent people die for this purpose and drag the entire human world into the abyss.
Nitro's eyes, at this moment, were filled with both coldness and pity.
"Therefore, I need someone to distract or stop the three guards, as long as they don't interfere with my battle with Meruem. This is why I asked you to come."
When he turned around and faced everyone, he put on a smiling expression again.
"However, it's too early to say this now. Meetings need to be held one after another, the process needs to be carried out step by step, and the funds need to be allocated bit by bit... Haha, it will be boring for a long time."
No, something's wrong.
Xeno and Sheba looked at each other and frowned together. They both had a subtle feeling, as if they could vaguely see the fox's tail wagging behind Nitro.
Nitro stretched out his right index finger and made a gesture.
"How about this, the four of us hold a martial arts competition, just to get familiar with the intensity of the final battle, and to pass the time, how about it?"
Nitro looked in high spirits.
Xeno put his hands behind his back and glanced at Germain.
"You are totally planning to let us be this kid's whetstone, right?"
"Ah, were you exposed so soon?"
Nitro stuck out his tongue, made a face, tapped his forehead in a cute way, and tilted his head.
The more Germain looked at it, the more familiar he became, and soon he saw the shadow of Bisgui in Nitro's appearance.
Biscuits are everywhere.
I just don't know if this expression was originally Bisgi's imitation of Nitro, or Nitro's imitation of Bisgi.
Nitro lowered his hands, then looked at Xeno and Sheba with a smile.
"However, starting from now, it's really not certain who is whose whetstone, right?"
There was silence.
Jie Nuo glanced at Germain again, pondered for a while, and then raised his head.
"It's not necessarily true... Although it's the first time I've seen him, I've confirmed that he is a monster. I can't figure out his details."
"If it's a fight to the death, I should only have the experience to hold him down."
Jie Nuo shook his head again.
"But, Nitro, this kind of thing is the same thing. Being his whetstone, or him being our whetstone, is outside of the original mission... This is another price."
"How cold and indifferent, Jie Nuo. I thought I would get preferential treatment because of my long-term friendship with your ancestors."
"Then get a 10% discount."
"make a deal."
Xeno didn't expect Nitro to agree so quickly, and soon realized that he had been tricked again, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Nitro had no intention of asking Germain and Sheba for their opinions. He walked to Xeno.
"Let's go, let's have tea and rest first, and let them decide the winner first."
"That's fine."
The two of them had just walked a few steps when Nitro turned his head again, as if he suddenly remembered, and pointed at the basin that was blasted out by his fist.
"That's right, I almost forgot to set the rules. Have you all seen this? It's the range, and anyone who goes out of bounds loses. Otherwise, you can only give in automatically."
"One more thing. Don't kill or injure anyone. Otherwise, it won't be a problem that money can solve."
Nitro waved to Germain and Sheba, smiling broadly.
"Then, the venue will be left to you young people. You can play freely, right?"
This time, Nitro and Zeno left without looking back. They went straight to the airship and really went to have afternoon tea.
Germain, who was in his twenties, and Siba, who was in his forties, were old enough to be father and son. They were both called "young people" by Nitro.
However, when this centenarian said these words, he really didn't feel any sense of violation.
It seems that a fight is really coming and cannot be refused.
Siba looked at Germain, stretched out her hand, and made a "please" gesture.
"Since President Nitro values you so much and the price has been agreed upon, let's get started."
Germain recalled Nitro's expression just now, and gradually understood Nitro's intention. The more this happened, the more he frowned.
However, the opportunity to fight against a master like Siba was rare, and Germain did not hesitate for long before agreeing.
Keeping a distance between them, the two walked into the basin together and slowly walked down along the earth wall.
As Germain walked, he observed the entire basin.
In fact, Netero's demarcation of the field boundary was disadvantageous to Germain, which meant that he, as a materialization system, had to fight with Silva, a release system, in a limited space.
In this situation, the advantage was on the side of the release system.
If you really want to win in a head-on confrontation, you need to use the power of the ominous undead or the roar of chaos.
However, the rules do not allow casualties, which increases the difficulty.
There are many similarities with the rules set by Netero in the last stage of the professional hunter exam in the original timeline, except that there is no boundary.
Germain and Silva both simply stretched their muscles and bones, and each made a click sound, like two killing machines starting to turn gears.
"Are you ready, Germain?"
"Ready..."
Before Germain finished speaking, he noticed that Silva suddenly accelerated like a cheetah and rushed towards him.
In order not to alert the enemy, Silva released his murderous aura at this moment, and the mind energy was also gathered in his hands at this time.
This is actually very dangerous. Shiba went straight to German's face without the coordination of mind energy. If he was injured, it would be a serious injury under the defense of no mind energy.
To cover up this defect, the flow of mind energy must be completed before German's reaction is activated, and the speed of such mind energy flow is amazing.
In other words, once it is achieved, it can achieve unexpected results.
Shiba achieved it. This is his well-honed killing skill and his instinctive action mode every time he suddenly shoots cold arrows.
However, even if it was achieved, German still reacted.
A flamethrower materialized in an instant and spit out a fire dragon at Shiba.
The fire dragon shot over with a wheezing sound, enough to swallow Shiba!
Shiba directly bent on the spot and appeared in another place like a flash, and then scattered into more than a dozen almost identical figures, rushing from all directions.
"Dark Step"!
"Limb Flexion"!
Among the dozen figures, some clenched their fists, some danced their arms like snakes, some flew and kicked, and some threw huge bullets with both hands, each of which looked real!
German moved quickly while calmly judging.
The fire dragon twisted and swept counterclockwise, while German himself rushed to the side in the opposite direction.
The spiral cane shook a whirlwind and stabbed one of the figures!
In fact, each figure was the real Shiba, but he completed the attack in different directions almost in an instant, looking like a shadow clone.
However, the only ones who could really pose a threat were the moving Shiba and the bullets he threw, and the rest of the fists and feet were just a posture.
Shiba's pupils shrank because German found his current position correctly!
"Bang——"
The two bullets collided and exploded, and smoke and dust rolled.
Shiba flew out of the dust, then stood almost vertically against the earth wall, and glanced down at the stab wound on his left shoulder.
Only a little blood flowed out of the wound, but it was quickly stopped because of Silva's physique.
This kind of injury is just a daily routine for the Zoldyck family.
So what is really important is that Germain actually saw through all the afterimages and found his location directly.
Silva's hidden steps and limb bending are much better than Illumi and Killua, and they are both secretive and confusing.
Even so, Germain saw through it in a very short time.
Is he really the Germain who was as famous as my stupid son Illumi a few months ago?
Illumi has not made such great progress in the past few months.
Not only that, Silva also noticed a detail.
In general, for a Psychic who fights with a materialized tool, the tool will appear where it touches the Psychic, and most of them are hands.
However, whether it was the flamethrower at the beginning or the threaded cane later, Silva only saw Germain raise his hand and they floated in front of him.
In other words, Germain now materializes weapons to fight, freeing his hands and not having to hold them all the time.
How did he do that?
Shiba quickly figured out the key points.
Germain's current strength has improved a lot, it's an explosive leap, so he can do more.
The tool he first materialized has already touched his body, it should be the mind energy condensed on his chest, judging from the shape, it looks like a fragment.
As long as the fragment touches his body, he can free his hands, and the materialized tool will appear around him at any time without contact, for him to use.
In fact, it's not zero contact, it's just that it's almost invisible visually, but it's indeed connected by mind energy.
In other words, Germain replaced his hands with many extended mind energy.
The young generation now is really terrible, and Germain is undoubtedly the best among them...
Shua——
The strong wind caused by the meat saw blew away the smoke and dust, revealing Germain wearing a hunter's black robe.
