Chapter 252: Sympathy for Chimera Ants Is Either Stupid or Arrogant

Zeno said he voluntarily admitted defeat, then opened his eyes and put his hands behind his back.

It was hard to imagine that such a hunched, thin, sixty-year-old body had just burst out such a powerful energy.

"Did you enjoy it?"

Jeno's question made Germain visibly stunned.

"Hahaha... you actually reacted like this... I'll assume you enjoyed it. Let's go up."

Zeno twisted his white beard, which was almost at right angles like a shrimp claw, with his fingers, turned around happily, and walked steadily to the top of the basin.

He walked on the sloping earth wall as if walking on flat ground, without any signs of slipping or unstable center of gravity.

Germain, wearing a black robe, followed like a shadow.

The two climbed out of the basin in silence. The boundary originally drawn by Netero had long been blurred by their fierce fight.

Silva walked over calmly and quickly accepted the fact that his father had also admitted defeat to Germain.

Perhaps for other people who think highly of themselves and are arrogant, admitting defeat is a humiliation, but they, father and son, do not have such a psychological burden.

"A great fight."

This is Silva's evaluation.

Germain's answer was a concise "thank you". He was still immersed in the rhythm of the instantaneous fight just now and could not completely get out of it.

The boiling blood and killing desire during that period made Germain wonder whether it was the influence of the bloodthirsty trait or his nature.

It took a long time for him to really calm down.

Geno glanced at him, thought of something, and slowly turned around to face him.

"German, what Netero said at the dinner party yesterday was very interesting. It made me think of a question."

"What question?" Germain looked at Geno, a little curious.

A playful smile appeared on Geno's wrinkled face.

"Many members of the chimera ants that appeared this time have memories of their human period, and their bodies are mixed with human genes. They can talk to humans and make the same judgments and actions as humans."

"They are like humans, with different personalities, cunning, greedy, curious, kind, smart, stupid, pedantic, and clever..."

"Even this time, they occupied the Republic of East Gotuo, launched a massacre of humans, and tried to transform the "inferior race" into a noble like them."

"It can be said that except for their appearance, they are no different from the members of the dictatorial government that implemented bloody rule in other parts of the six continents."

"Then why do we go to great lengths to take action against them, but turn a blind eye to other tyrannical governments in the world? What is the difference between them?"

A good question.

Jerman took out a tricorn hat from his arms and put it on his head, and a shadow covered half of his face.

He wanted to answer that he came here to try to prevent Netero from going to the step of dying together with the ant king.

But he knew that this was not the answer that Geno wanted.

"Because they are just like humans, but they are not humans. They will not commit suicide or sign a surrender agreement because of defeat."

"They eat humans. Humans are on their menu, and even humans are the most delicious food for them. As long as they are alive, they will keep eating, and hunting will never stop."

"Humans do not eat certain meats purely because they are unpalatable, poisonous, and have better substitutes, not because they are dangerous. The same is true for chimera ants."

"They are chimera ants, an alien invasive species that evolves very quickly. If they are not eliminated in time, it will be the end of our human race."

German is not exaggerating.

In the timeline that only he knows, Netero finally used the explosion of the Poor Rose to solve the ant king Meruem.

However, after the explosion, the ant king Meruem was actually reborn once.

The reborn ant king gained a very terrifying teleportation ability. As long as its circle can cover the range, it can reach it in the blink of an eye.

After its rebirth, the range of its circle is far beyond the entire palace of the Republic of East Goth and far beyond Neferpitou, which has reached an extremely terrifying level.

In other words, if it was the reborn Ant King, even if the Poor Rose exploded in front of it, it could teleport to a safe place immediately without any damage.

In front of such an Ant King, all human thermal weapons would be meaningless.

Moreover, the intelligence of the Ant King is constantly improving, and it would be very difficult to trick it into a trap again.

It can even be said that if it were not for Wheat, the Ant King would not necessarily take the initiative to leave Netero and start a one-on-one decisive battle.

Why Netero, V5 and the Hunter Association chose to use the Poor Rose is that they hope its toxins will eliminate all subsequent possibilities.

Facts have proved that this choice is extremely correct.

Geno chuckled a few times.

"German, don't you have sympathy for these species with similar intelligence to us?"

German shook his head.

"I feel pity for stray cats and dogs because they pose no threat to me when I can see them with my naked eyes."

"I pity them because it satisfies my spiritual needs, gives me the pleasure of dominating them, and allows me to enjoy a social and family status that I cannot enjoy elsewhere."

"Chimera ants cannot be pitied, they have self-esteem, and their species talents are far superior to ours."

"Our advantage is the mature human social system that has evolved to this day. As individuals, most humans are no match for them."

"They can completely replace humans and become the new rulers of the six continents, becoming the top of the food chain."

"In other words, humans are not special. Other species can also evolve and rule the world. This is what humans fear the most."

"As a 'stray cat' and 'stray dog', I will not pity 'humans'."

"Even if the ant king is a philanthropic monarch and does not want humans to become extinct after winning, this emotion is only temporary... because it and other chimera ants will soon feel the same fear."

"They will worry about how they will dominate humans one day, and humans will dominate them in turn after they gain new evolution."

"From the beginning, there was no other way, only to cut the grass and root it out."

"Knowing that they will grow up, they will be enough to destroy human society, eat humans to extinction, and replace humans. Worrying about their future is either stupid or arrogant."

After listening, Geno couldn't help but laugh a few more times. He heard a satisfactory answer.

"It seems that President Netero specifically asked you to come here not only because of your fighting power... but also because of your sobriety."

"Okay, our 'playing' is over. Let's wait for President Netero to come back on the airship. I have a hunch that he will laugh at me severely when he knows the result."

However, Netero did not return that night, and did not leave any message for them.

Everyone waited calmly, without any impatience.

On November 13, Netero suddenly returned to the airship, and he looked as if he had never left here and was content.

As expected by Geno, he made fun of Geno without hesitation after learning the result of the martial arts competition.

And Geno couldn't even get angry because President Netero was much older than him.

Afterwards, Netero told German, Geno and Silva three things.

The first thing was that the three guards began a large-scale selection and transformation of the people in the Republic of East Goto.

This group of people will spend their second life as the Chimera Ant Army.

Once humans, especially Nen users, are transformed into Chimera Ants, their own abilities will be enhanced, and an ordinary Nen user may suddenly increase his combat power.

Such concentrated selection and transformation is dangerous.

The second thing is that the final battle time of the Chimera Ant Crusade has been determined, which is 0:00 on November 23.

Netero has communicated with Mo Laowu, Nobu, Nakulu and Xiutuo.

At that time, no matter what happens, everyone will attack the palace where the Ant King and the three guards are.

The third thing is that Netero told everyone that if he is defeated by the Ant King in the decisive battle, he will use the ultimate means - the Poor Rose Bomb, and die with the Ant King.

This was a decision made at a combat meeting far away from the Republic of East Goto, in the rear.

Zeno's mission has been updated.

In addition to preventing the three guards from interfering with Netero's decisive battle with the Ant King, he must use his Nen ability to send Netero and the Ant King to the wilderness above the underground war weapon test site some distance away from the palace.

This wilderness is open, with only a few mountains and no houses around, making it a good place for fighting.

Netero left for a few days and had an operation to embed the Poor Rose into his body and set the detonator to connect to his heartbeat.

Once his heart stops beating for more than two seconds, the detonator will detonate the Poor Rose buried in his body.

This extremely small bomb can explode with terrifying power in an instant, enough to cover the entire underground war weapon test site and swallow him and the ant king together.

The reason why the Poor Rose was not detonated directly in the palace was because there were many humans still alive in the palace.

The people at the combat meeting were unwilling to take responsibility afterwards.

In addition, Netero wanted to fight the ant king, so it was just right to let Netero take the responsibility alone.

This should be foolproof.

Geno was silent for a moment and agreed.

Netero used his eyes to stop Germain from saying something.

"I know why Lin Nie wants you to come here, but if you don't have a better method, there's no need to say more."

"It's meaningless to just raise questions without providing methods... and I have a specific task to hand over to you."

"In theory, the explosion and toxins of the Poor Rose are enough to kill the Ant King. However, given that this Ant King is the most special one among the Ant Kings that have appeared in the past, it needs to be treated differently."

Netero stroked his short beard and looked at the night view outside the airship window.

"According to the intelligence, Neferpitou, one of the three guards, has awakened the ability to repair and transform limbs..."

"Although the possibility is very low, it may be able to repair the fragmented body of the Ant King, eliminate the toxins of the Poor Rose, and then let the Ant King survive."

"Even if this possibility is low, it must be completely eliminated."

Netero's tone became grim and unquestionable.

"German, your target is Neferpitou. You must either stop it from getting close to the ant king before he is confirmed dead, or kill it and put an end to it."

"If you can't do this, then there is no need to think about it."

German is not an emotional person. He agreed without much hesitation.

Because Netero's words were not random speculation.

The ant king ate two of the three guards and gained the abnormal ability after rebirth. What if he ate all three guards?

The next day, Netero took the initiative to propose a martial arts competition with Germain.

Zeno and Silva came to watch the battle.
