Opening with a Planet Buster Blast

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Countless Spiders, their bodies gleaming with a metallic sheen, crawled toward Ian and his group, emitting a piercing, dense swarm.

"Looks like Sashado doesn't really welcome us..."

"But do you think you can stop us by sending out such a simple little gadget?"

Ian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then put his hand in front of his mouth and shouted into the cave.

"Hey, Sashado, is this how you welcome an old friend?"

"Welcome back, old friend..."

"Friends..."

Ian's shouts echoed through the cave, drawing surprised glances from the Hunters.

In their view, although the boy was very strong...

But this guy is really brave!

As Ian's voice faded, the mechanical Spiders paused for a moment, but soon swarmed forward again, even more frantically than before.

"Tch, this guy is so boring..."

Seeing that the other party was not giving him any face, Ian felt bored and directly pulled out the [Invincible Turret].

He had originally planned to have these Hunters hone his skills, but since Sashado wouldn't give him face, he decided to find him and see what was going on.

"Bang--"

The massive, menacing metal instantly assembled and landed on the ground; the long cannon barrel, as thick as a waist, looked exceptionally powerful.

The appearance of the [Invincible Turret] surprised the Hunters who had never seen this item before.

They all looked at Ian, speculating among themselves about the power of the item.

It's clearly a modern cannon; I wonder how powerful this materialized weapon is?

Netero, standing to the side, looked very familiar.

During his previous exploration of the Ruins, Ian had unearthed quite a few surprising items, and this cannon naturally left a deep impression on him as well.

"Pull your ears!"

Ian shouted, then a wide, excited smile spread across his face.

Sashado may have acquired other methods, but he hasn't become weaker during this time!

Since the other party isn't giving us any face, then don't blame us for digging them out!

"Buzz--"

The next moment, the "Light Bracelet" on Ian's wrist began to emit a bright white light, and then charged the [Invincible Turret].

The unlimited energy boost caused many of the items in Ian's possession to undergo a qualitative change.

Clearly, the [Invincible Turret] is one of the best.

It had already proven its strength to Ian at the Tutankhamun Ruins. If the monsters they dealt with hadn't been unkillable and had the ability to split, Ian would have been utterly annihilated back then.

"The Ultimate Evolution of the Invincible Turret!"

Ian's God, and he kept talking, providing voiceovers for the menacing giant cannon beside him.

"Invincible... Planet Buster!"

"Boom! Boom!"

With a heavy thud, the menacing metal turret did indeed undergo a transformation. The Hunters standing nearby couldn't understand what was happening, only that Ian's methods were truly endless.

They could also sense the terrifying aura emanating from this drastically transformed turret.

The metal Spiders, which were about to approach, seemed to realize something. A purple crack appeared on each of their backs, and then they began to flash with a dark purple light.

"Energy fluctuation!"

The Hunters nearby paled.

The sheer number of these tiny monsters, radiating energy fluctuations, posed a significant threat to them, whether these Spiders exploded or fired some kind of laser.

But Ian didn't care.

"Smack!"

He snapped his fingers, then gently closed his eyes, a look of enjoyment on his face as he chuckled as he watched what was about to happen.

"Star Destroyer Roaring Cannon!"

"Boom--"

At this moment, both sides' items or summoned creatures attacked simultaneously. On one side, Ian's Planet Buster was gathering energy, while on the other side of the cave, countless metal Spiders were converging on energy.

In an instant, white light engulfed everything!

"This... this is!?"

"Damn it... how can there be such a powerful energy fluctuation!"

"The cave... the cave will collapse!"

Upon witnessing Ian's actions, countless Hunters seemed to realize something, but they had no time to escape or hide; the next second, they felt as if they had gone deaf.

The big guy also temporarily lost his sight.

Illuminated by the intense light of the explosion, it was so blinding that I couldn't see what was happening at all.

All I could feel was the howling wind rushing towards me and the pain of pebbles hitting my face.

The violent explosions lasted for a while. Only when everything subsided did everyone dare to open their tear-streaked eyes. The sight that came into view left them speechless and dumbfounded.

The once dark cave was now empty, with sunlight even shining in from above.

The Passageway in front of us is gone, replaced by Lava Road with half of it exposed, and everywhere there are still crystalline glassy formations that retain their high temperature.

As for those Spider monsters, they were long gone, not even ashes remained.

The Hunters fell silent.

They looked at the smiling, amiable boy not far away and felt a chill run down their spines.

What kind of monster have they been with along the way?!

"Hmph, relying on external forces, utterly boring!"

The Cat Teacher, who was standing nearby, had already sensed the powerful energy fluctuations and avoided them early on. So he wasn't too embarrassed. He just crossed his arms and commented on Ian's behavior.

"Ugh, that guy's really going too far! An old friend arrived, and he didn't even show his face. Well, this is the only way I can greet him!"

"Besides, if you, you stinky cat, dislike my props, then I'll use them to make some delicious food, and you'd better not come over and try to eat it!"

Upon hearing this, Cat Teacher's expression changed slightly, and his paws clenched tightly.

"How dare you threaten me with food! How despicable!"

However, after saying that, it shut up and stopped talking about anything else, giving off an expression that said, "I'm very angry, but I can't be bothered to talk to you."

Meanwhile, Zeno's face remained etched with shock, a shock that persisted even after a while.

What did he see?

Zeno, though a traditional assassin, shows little interest in new technologies.

But... that doesn't mean he's stupid or unaware of the power of modern weaponry.

As Assassin Family, they pay close attention to anything that can increase their killing efficiency!

However... when the power of such a terrifying weapon is manifested in a human individual, no one finds the contrast more difficult to accept than Zeno.

In other words.

Ian, possessing such Nen Ability items, is even more terrifying than a mobile Nuclear Weapons!

Of course, this still shows that Zeno doesn't know Ian well enough.

If he knew that Ian was holding at least a hundred "Godly Might No. 1, comparable to nuclear weapons, his expression would probably change several times.

Netero didn't say much.

After all, it's perfectly normal for Nen users to use their own Nen Tools.

He was simply somewhat shocked by the power of Ian's item; it seemed different from anything he'd seen before...

Just as everyone was still reeling from Ian's terrifying bombardment, their gazes kept drifting towards the "Planet Buster" that remained stationary.

"Shh..."

At this moment, a figure slowly appeared before everyone in the huge pit that had originally been Waterfall cave but had now turned into a gaping hole.

Everyone's expression changed instantly, and they immediately became alert, staring intently at the newcomer.

Netero and Zeno also snapped out of their reverie, looking at each other with serious expressions.

"I didn't expect to see you here again... Ian."

A figure, looking wet and with disheveled dark hair, as if it had just hatched from some kind of liquid, was staring at Ian with strange, beast-like eyes, its face full of excitement.

"Sashado?"

Ian looked at the other person, somewhat puzzled. Although it was supposed to be Host Body, how did the other person end up like this?
