No Advantage at All

"Boom--"

With a deafening roar, a massive shockwave surged outwards.

The sky seemed to be obscured.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, dumbfounded at the massive, mountain-like figure on the field.

Everyone looked up, feeling as if the sunlight was being blocked, and their faces showed horror.

"What... what is this?"

"This isn't even a creature from this continent! How could it be so huge!"

"It looks like a white... white crab! Oh my god, I must be dreaming. How could there be such a huge crab? I must be hallucinating!"

One of the Hunters in charge of biological research was filled with disbelief, wishing he could slap himself a few times to wake himself up from this dream.

Even Netero and Zeno looked completely bewildered.

After all, they had never seen Ian release such a "monster" before, and their minds went blank upon seeing it for the first time.

It's just... too big!

It was so large that tiny humans simply didn't know how to harm such a gigantic creature.

However, at that moment...

Netero's pupils contracted; he seemed to have realized something and couldn't help but look at Zeno.

Seeing that the other person also looked shocked, the two exchanged glances, and the same word welled up in their minds— Dark Continent!

Only the Dark Continent could give birth to such enormous creatures.

On the continent where humans live, a creature of such size simply could not survive; the amount of food it needs to grow is astronomical.

With a smile on his face, Ian leaped onto the back of the White Stone Crab.

However, compared to the enormous White Stone Crab, his size is almost negligible.

"Buzz..."

The White Stone Crab's menacing mouthparts writhed incessantly, emitting a dull, loud sound. Upon seeing its owner again, it appeared unusually active and happy.

"Hey, Sashado, bring out the creatures you created and let them compare to my pets!"

Ian stood near the clouds, put his hand to his mouth, and shouted down.

Sashado's face stiffened.

In fact, Ian was also stunned the moment he summoned the White Stone Crab!

Although during the Gandor Dynasty, his complete form possessed the ability to manipulate many inorganic objects that appeared enormous to ordinary people.

But...

It could be limited to a small hill, or perhaps a whale.

This enormous creature before him was unlike anything he had ever seen in his life, and he knew that even in his prime, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat it.

It wasn't that he couldn't kill such a huge monster.

Rather, he was unable to use his Nen Ability to move and control the other person.

Not to mention, the Nen Ability of his current Host Body is not as strong as that of his original body, and it focuses more on functional abilities.

Just as he was in shock...

Ian spoke again.

"Sashado, if you don't bring out that creature you're so proud of soon, you might miss your chance."

As they spoke, the enormous White Stone Crab, having received Ian's command, slowly raised its massive claws, which, like a pillar supporting the sky, obscured the heavens before gently pressing down.

This scene not only shocked Sashado.

Even Zeno and the others felt a jolt in their hearts and tensed up.

"Hey everyone, watch out! If that thing falls, the force is unimaginable!"

Zeno spoke first. As an assassin, he was more aware than ordinary Nen users of the limits that the human body could withstand.

If such a massive object were to fall, the sheer force of the shockwave alone would likely shatter the internal organs of everyone present—this is no joke.

After all, shockwaves are indiscriminate attacks...

Therefore, Zeno quickly reminded them, not knowing whether Ian, high in the sky, could hear their conversation.

Cat Teacher floated in mid-air, gazing at the giant White Stone Crab, a strange urge to try it out appeared on his face.

After breaking through realms one after another, it had no idea how strong it truly was.

This enormous monster in front of me would be a good target, but unfortunately, it's Ian's pet. If I were to attack it...

Realizing Ian wouldn't let the matter rest, she simply withdrew her cat paw.

Its tail kept swishing, clearly eager to try its hand at handling the White Stone Crab.

Sashado was the one being targeted.

In this situation, we are also prepared to sacrifice the Host Body.

Unfortunately, nothing good ever comes of running into Ian.

In his view, although V5's modern weapons were incredibly powerful, they were still far inferior to Ian, who possessed a variety of strange gadgets.

If Ian hadn't repeatedly thwarted his plans, he wouldn't have had to go into hiding.

However, the various strange gadgets that Ian displayed were one of the reasons that led him to create Host Body; he also wanted to see the different paths that Nen Abilities could take.

Is there a Nen Ability that can match Ian's ability to create magical items?

Nen users aren't fools.

Whether it was Kim, Netero, or Sashado, after witnessing Ian's abilities with all sorts of amazing gadgets, they all clearly realized the power of this ability.

"Well..."

Sashado sighed deeply; he had thought the creatures he had created were already satisfactory enough.

But upon seeing the giant crab that Ian summoned, that thought vanished instantly...

Somewhat frustrated...

Under the pressure of that towering crab claw, Sashado waved his hand, and soon, a mantis three meters in size appeared behind him.

Its body was streamlined, as if cast from titanium alloy, and its compound eyes were devoid of any emotion.

Its triangular head twisted slightly, and its sharp forelimbs twitched slightly.

The key point is its extreme speed; its wings flutter slightly behind it, making it appear as if it is constantly trembling in space, even though it is standing there.

Actually, it's because it never stopped; it kept swinging.

Far away.

Netero, Zeno, and the others noticed Sashado's movements, as well as the giant mantis that suddenly appeared beside him.

All the Hunters present were slightly startled.

Ian's White Stone Crab stopped attacking, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the creature beside Sashado.

Netero frowned slightly, his expression grave.

Others might not see it clearly, but his eyes, which seemed to pierce through the flow of time, could see it clearly...

The praying mantis kept flashing...

The opponent was like a fast-moving warrior with boundless energy, eager for battle.

This is the most powerful biological weapon that Sashado discovered in this Forest after numerous searches and mutations.

Moreover, after multiple iterations and incubations...

This is the newest one, and it's a female. As long as it's preserved, it can continue to hatch and reproduce.

But... everything was rendered meaningless in the face of the creatures Ian summoned.
