After the Bomb Devil Trio wiped out the Sound of Life cards, Allen skipped a gathering of Greed Island teams and recruited Hisoka to help hunt Nen-using Chimera Ants. He demonstrated his newly developed power, leaving Hisoka stunned by the gap between them.

• The other teams arranged a meeting to discuss ambushing Ganshu's trio and investigate the mysterious deaths, but Allen used the Hunting Map to find Hisoka instead.
• Allen offered Hisoka a spare Archangel's Breath in exchange for joining his team until later that year, when they would hunt high-level Chimera Ants; Hisoka eagerly agreed.
• Allen used Archangel's Breath to restore Hisoka's severed arm and heal his scars, then told him that Ging Freecss had helped create Greed Island.
• Hisoka showed interest in fighting Ging and eyed Bodrō and Fei Jie, so Allen warned him off and punched a trench through the wilderness to demonstrate his strength.
• Hisoka was shocked by Allen's speed and destructive power as Allen reflected that his potential had developed after his battle with Chairman Netero.

Allen warned Hisoka to behave, then joined Gon, Killua, and Bisky in their plan to challenge the game administrators for One Tsubo of Coastline. The group gathered with Goreinu and temporary recruits in Shoufulabi.

• Allen demonstrated his aura control with a devastating punch and warned Hisoka not to cross him; Hisoka agreed to behave.
• Gon, Killua, and Bisky arrived, and Allen greeted them and asked whether they had Elder's Growth-Enhancing Medicine B-30; Killua said they did not.
• Bisky asked Allen and his companions to help her group win One Tsubo of Coastline from the game administrators, and Allen agreed.
• Gon and Killua welcomed Allen, Hisoka, and Bodrō to the team, and the group traveled to Shoufulabi to meet Goreinu and the temporary recruits.

Gon returned to the indoor sports center with four experts to challenge Razor’s team, while Allen joined them. After the group won three matches, Allen stopped Razor from killing the rebellious Popo and fed him to his Red Dragon, Vilnalasath.

• Gon introduced Goreinu to Allen and said he had found four expert teammates.
• Bodrō won the boxing match, Lupos won bowling, and Fei Jie won basketball for Gon’s team.

• Allen knocked aside Razor’s Nen bullet, asked to take Popo, and then killed him with a punch.
• Allen summoned Vilnalasath, which turned Popo into a cocoon and swallowed him, leaving Gon, Killua, Bisky, Hisoka, and Razor reacting to the dragon’s power.

Allen joined Gon’s team for a dodgeball match against Razor after Killua used a loophole to secure their place in the final game. Razor opened with a deadly throw, and the match continued with Allen targeted by a surprise pass.

• Razor recognized Allen as the Reaper and explained his reputation to the other prisoners.
• Allen said he had met Ging, and Razor agreed to tell Gon more about him after Gon’s team defeated him.
• Razor set the final match as dodgeball, and Killua designated a bystander as the winner of the earlier sumo match.
• Goreinu used his ability to switch places with White Sage after Razor’s opening throw smashed the Nen Beast’s head apart.
• Razor used a puppet to pass the ball from Allen’s blind spot while Gon and Killua warned him, but Fei Jie and Bodrō remained unconcerned.

Allen caught Razor’s opening throw, then imposed restrictions on himself and challenged Razor to withstand one powerful strike. Razor survived the hit by catching the ball at great cost, healed himself with a GM-exclusive Card, and returned to the court to launch a full-strength throw at Allen.

• Allen caught the ball before Gon and Killua could see his movement, impressing Razor with his speed and reaction.
• Allen vowed not to dodge and to attack only once without calling BACK, then struck the ball at Razor with aura, Jet Acceleration, and High-Speed Rotation.

• Razor used a GM-exclusive Card to heal, returned to the inner court with BACK, and announced that he would throw with full strength.
• Razor launched the ball toward Allen, who took a stance to receive it.

Allen caught Razor’s full-strength spike, then let Gon and Killua take their turn before agreeing to face Razor’s special attack. Razor’s Star Meteor blasted Allen out of bounds, leaving the contest unresolved.

• Razor’s powerful spike drove Allen backward, but Allen caught it and stopped just short of the boundary.
• Allen handed the ball to Killua, and Gon’s Jajanken throw was easily redirected and caught by Razor.
• Allen challenged Razor to use his ability, and Razor unleashed Star Meteor, a mass of Nen bullets followed by a spiked ball.
• Bisky warned Gon and Killua to move clear as Allen charged into the meteor with Shu and Jet Acceleration.
• Razor’s explosion and follow-up spike sent Allen out past the rear boundary.

After withdrawing from the dodgeball match, Allen assessed Razor’s strength and received a threatening Contact from Ganshu, who demanded the cards taken from Zazalala’s team. Allen challenged Ganshu to come to Shoufulabi, then left the stadium with others to meet him while Gon and Killua’s team continued the match.

• Allen recognized he had stepped out of bounds, withdrew from the game, and discussed Razor’s abilities and chances against Bodrō.
• Ganshu contacted Allen, demanded the cards taken from Zazalala’s team, and threatened to kill Allen and his companions.
• Allen revealed the team’s location in Shoufulabi and mocked Ganshu, who ended the Contact after threatening to come in person.
• Razor and the other players awkwardly defended Greed Island’s players, while Killua and Gon feared the consequences for Ganshu.
• Allen ordered the available players to accompany him to meet Ganshu and warned Gon and Killua’s team not to lose the dodgeball match.

Allen and his companions confronted the Bomb Devil Trio, and Allen challenged Ganshu to show him the true art of explosions. Allen survived a massive blast through his Hunter class template while Ganshu was left severely injured.

• Allen, Bodrō, and Fei Jie prepared for the Bomb Devil Trio's arrival, and Fei Jie and Bodrō agreed to choose their opponents first.
• Ganshu, Bala, and Shab arrived using a Magnetic Force card, and Fei Jie chose Bala while Bodrō chose Shab.
• Bodrō and Fei Jie fought Bala and Shab as they moved into the forest, leaving Allen to face Ganshu.
• Ganshu used A Pinch of Gunpowder on Allen, but the explosion failed to injure him or damage his clothes.
• Allen criticized Ganshu's approach, grabbed him, and detonated a Goblin Sapper Charge at close range.
• The blast severely injured Ganshu, while Allen's Hunter class template absorbed the damage and left him unharmed.

Allen tortured Ganshu with explosions until he broke, while Fei Jie and Bodrō defeated Bala and Shab and took their cards. Allen eventually obtained the Elder's Growth-Enhancing Medicine B-30 but hesitated over whether to use it before clearing the game or save it for afterward.

• Allen endured Ganshu's questions, then repeatedly bombed him until Ganshu broke down and begged for mercy.
• Allen told Ganshu that he and his companions had to face the consequences of killing others, then attached more bombs to Ganshu and waited for Fei Jie.
• Fei Jie defeated Bala, controlled him with a kiss, and made him summon his spellbook and hand over his cards.
• Bodrō brought the badly injured Shab to Fei Jie, who confirmed he could still be controlled; Shab then summoned his spellbook and surrendered his cards.
• Fei Jie and Bodrō returned with Bala and Shab, and Allen explained that Ganshu had collapsed after surviving two explosions.
• Allen obtained the Elder's Growth-Enhancing Medicine B-30 and debated whether to take it before clearing the game or save it for later.

Allen handed his Greed Island cards to Gon and Killua in exchange for a slot to bring back the Growth-Enhancing Medicine, then left the game after killing the Bomb Devil Trio. Netero told him Nilante Island was speeding toward the human world, and Allen accepted V5’s emergency order to deal with the threat.

• Gon and Killua returned with One Tsubo of Coastline, and Allen offered his cards in exchange for reserving one of three real-world card slots for him; Gon accepted after consulting Bisky.
• Allen gave Gon and Killua his specified-slot cards, and they prepared to complete the game.
• Allen ignited the bombs on Ganshu, leaving the Bomb Devil Trio near death, and the Red Dragon swallowed them in cocoons.
• Allen left Greed Island and received a call from Netero, who said Nilante Island was approaching the human world and V5 had ordered Allen to handle it.
• Allen agreed to set out for the Hunter Association within thirty hours and told Fei Jie, Bodrō, and Hisoka that they needed to help save the human world.

Allen arrived in Luofa City and learned the island was only the exposed portion of a colossal unknown creature submerged beneath the sea. Given authority by the V5, he proposed planting nuclear bombs inside its body and detonating them, but first needed to measure it, find its weak points, and arrange Nen users to deliver the explosives.

• Sreian learned that the V5 had granted Level B authorization and that only two nearby Hunter teams could assist.
• Allen arrived at Sreian’s building on Vilnalasath, who then turned back into Hollow, and reviewed aerial photographs of the creature.
• Sreian told Allen the V5 had given him authority to decide whether to kill or drive away the creature.
• Allen demanded nuclear weapons and explained that he planned to place them inside the creature’s Deep Pit and detonate them together.
• Allen said he needed to measure the creature, identify its fatal weak points, and work with Manipulator Nen users to deliver the explosives.

Allen learned that Beyond, Pariston, and the Kakin royal family had maneuvered him into a nuclear operation to keep him away from the Chimera Ants, and he declared war on them. As the ants devastated the NGL and Beyond and Pariston advanced their plans, Allen finally reached the island beast after more than a week in flight.

• Allen explained his plan to Sreian, who spent two hours reporting it to V5’s hidden leaders and secured authorization for the operation.
• Aboard the military airship, Allen told Hisoka that Beyond, Pariston, and the Kakin royal family had set him up, then vowed to destroy their ambitions.
• The Chimera Ant Queen established a nest in the NGL, where soldier ants killed or captured villagers for food and the colony rapidly grew.
• Beyond and Pariston watched the ants develop and discussed luring Hunters to the NGL so they would teach the ants Nen.
• Beyond returned to Kakin to prepare the Dark Continent expedition while Pariston went back to obstruct Netero, and Allen arrived above the moving island beast.

Allen’s team investigated the moving island and discovered that Giant Worms beneath it had swallowed two Marine Hunters. Suspecting the island and its worms were parts of a larger creature, Allen brought nuclear weapons and a group of experts down through the giant skeleton toward the island’s depths.

• A V5 observer and the team saw huge, tentacle-like shapes moving beneath the island, and two Marine Hunters dove down to investigate.
• Giant Worms swallowed the two divers, and Allen concluded that the worms and island were parts of a colossal creature whose main body remained hidden.
• Allen shrank the Airship’s nuclear bombs with Owl’s Magical Wrapping Cloth, then flew with an investigation team on Vilnalasath to the giant skeleton.
• Allen tied the team together with a rope and led them down the skeleton toward an organ resembling an intestinal tract, warning them to stay quiet because the red Giant Worms sensed vibrations.

Allen and the team investigated the vanished vomit and the enormous maw underground, where the biologists began examining the organ. When intelligent control of the island seemed to send swarms of worms against them, Allen used his arrows to clear their tunnels, while Hisoka watched for the creature to adapt.

• Allen found the dumping ground empty and led the team to the enormous muscle-lined maw, where the biologists began measuring it and collecting samples.
• The ground trembled, and Allen detected countless red worms approaching, suspecting an intelligent creature had set a trap for them.
• The mercenaries killed the first worm with Nen bullets, but more swarmed toward the team from several tunnels.
• Allen fired powerful Nen-infused arrows that wiped out the worms in the tunnels and stunned the biologists, mercenaries, and Hunters.
• Fei Jie and Bodrō judged that the others would not need to fight, while Hisoka watched for the intelligent creature to change its strategy.

Allen and the expedition used a small nuclear bomb against the intelligent creature controlling the island, then weathered the blast inside a reinforced shelter. The Airship observers lost contact with the underground team but discovered that the island had stopped moving.

• After Allen killed the attacking worms, he warned the group that the intelligent creature controlling the island might send larger worms through the intestine-like organ.
• Allen told the group that retreat was impossible and decided to descend into the island after sending a nuclear bomb into the organ.
• A Manipulator Nen user animated the bomb and sent it into the abyss, while Allen built a sealed shelter and Hisoka added Stretchable Love to cushion the blast.
• The bomb detonated, and the explosion shook the island and hurled the shelter through soil and shattered rock as Allen reinforced it with aura.
• The Airship observers lost their instruments' readings of the team and learned that the island had stopped completely.

After surviving the nuclear blast, Allen led Bodrō, Fei Jie, and Hisoka into the depths of the island to find the creature controlling it. They discovered its brain-like core, which attacked them, and Allen threatened it with another nuclear bomb.

• Allen led the survivors out of the buried ruins, while most of the mercenaries and experts chose to return to the surface.
• Allen, Bodrō, Fei Jie, and Hisoka descended through the Abyssal Maw and found immense muscle tissue scorched by the nuclear blast.
• Allen warned his companions about the radiation and led them onward through the dark underground passage.
• Allen reached the island's core and saw a hemispherical, brain-like organ connected to muscles and nerves.
• The core mobilized the surrounding muscles to crush the intruders, so Allen dropped another nuclear bomb and threatened to detonate it.

Allen and the others discovered that the unknown creature could communicate and had been guided toward the human world by another person. Despite its offer to leave, Allen chose to destroy it and the Giant Worms, escaping with his companions just before the nuclear bombs obliterated the island.

• The unknown creature tried to negotiate, and Allen warned the group that it was an intelligent lifeform that might control minds.
• Bodrō let the creature attach its feelers to his temples, allowing it to speak through him while leaving his consciousness intact.
• The creature said a human had promised it more food in exchange for its memories and knowledge, and Allen explained that it had been deceived and threatened humanity.
• The creature offered to leave, but Allen refused and prepared to destroy it and the Giant Worms beneath the island.
• Allen detonated the nuclear bombs, and Fei Jie freed Bodrō while Allen, Hisoka, Fei Jie, and Bodrō escaped into the Dungeon.
• The explosions and resulting tsunami destroyed the island, the unknown creature, and the Giant Worms.

Allen and his team survived the nuclear detonation and returned with evidence of the creature they called the Island Controller, which V5 classified as an A-level threat. After V5 praised Allen and concealed the crisis from the public, he warned Sreian that the Kakin Royal Family was conspiring with Beyond and that the whole world would soon be involved.

• The mercenary captain argued that Allen had likely survived, and Allen soon returned to the airship with Hisoka, Fei Jie, and Bodrō.
• Allen gave the observer footage of the Island Controller, while Hisoka handed over photographs; the recordings showed the creature’s conversation and its claim that it had reached an agreement with a human.
• V5 sealed the evidence, classified the creature as an A-level threat, and praised Allen, while officials hid the crisis from the public as a military exercise.
• Sreian explained that Hunters at higher levels could not return to ordinary life, but Allen said he preferred the danger and excitement of the job.
• When Sreian described the mysterious person’s ties to a powerful country, Allen said the Kakin Royal Family was working with Beyond on a conspiracy that would soon involve the whole world.

Allen gathered Hisoka and Fei Jie to hunt the Chimera Ants in the NGL Autonomous Region, calling Illumi and asking him to bring Kalluto. After reaching Rocario, Hisoka slaughtered the border checkpoint guards, and Allen prepared to drive into NGL by vehicle.

• Allen told Hisoka that they were heading to NGL to hunt the Chimera Ants and called Illumi to invite him and Kalluto to join them.
• Allen explained that he felt no sympathy for enemies and intended to kill them without regret.
• Allen and his group flew to Rocario, where they faced the hostile NGL border checkpoint.
• Hisoka killed everyone at the checkpoint after Allen said its guards were likely involved in the executives’ criminal operations.
• Allen released a Bigfoot off-road vehicle from God's Wrapping Cloth to continue toward NGL.

Allen entered the NGL with Hisoka and met Illumi and Kalluto, then hired Illumi to capture Chimera Ants for Nen training and extraction. After locating Ponzu and Pokkle with his Hunting Map, Allen led the group toward them as Vilnalasath anticipated feasting on the ants.

• Hisoka explained that he had killed the border checkpoint guards and recovered Illumi's confiscated phone.
• Illumi thanked Hisoka, while Kalluto politely examined Allen with curiosity about his reputation and power.
• Allen assigned Illumi to capture and control Chimera Ants in exchange for healing potions, with Bodrō, Fei Jie, and Allen handling their Nen awakening, development, and extraction.
• Allen used Hunting Map to locate Ponzu and Pokkle, who were advancing into NGL without yet encountering the ant army.
• Allen and his companions drove toward Pokkle's team as Vilnalasath eagerly anticipated eating the Chimera Ants.

Pokkle and his team encountered Chimera Ants in the NGL, where the creatures killed or captured the group and shot Ponzu. Allen arrived just as Ponzu collapsed, crushing her attacker’s gun arm and preparing to save her.

• Pokkle led Ponzu, Baluda, and Pikuba into the NGL to investigate reports of giant insects and found two men killed by clawed attacks.
• Three soldier ants emerged, and Pokkle used his Nen ability to kill one before leading his team into the forest.
• A massive Chimera Ant ambushed the group, and the ants killed the team and captured Pokkle while Ponzu escaped.
• Ponzu reached a village and released message-carrying bees, but a spiny Chimera Ant shot her.
• Allen descended nearby, crushed the ant’s gun-holding arm with his impact, and greeted the unconscious Ponzu.

Allen rescued Ponzu, killed and devoured several Chimera Ants, and tested his plan to awaken their Nen before feeding them to Vilnalasath. After the group made camp, Ponzu woke and learned that her companions had been killed or taken by the ants.

• Allen healed Ponzu, awakened a soldier ant's Nen, and killed it so Vilnalasath could consume it.
• Vilnalasath estimated the ant's aura at around twelve thousand and proposed using its life essence to improve Allen's muscles; Allen told her to prioritize reaction speed and explosive power.
• Illumi arrived with four captured soldier ants, and Allen assigned Bodrō to awaken their Nen and Fei Jie to control them.
• The ants developed Nen abilities, but Allen's group killed them and fed their cocoons to Vilnalasath before leaving the massacre site to camp by a river.
• Ponzu woke at the camp, thanked Allen for saving her, and began sobbing after he told her that her companions had been killed or taken as food.

Allen reported the Chimera Ant threat to Chairman Netero and warned that a war between the Association and the ants was inevitable. He privately vowed to hunt and devour every ant, including the Queen, while Ponzu slept after losing her companions.

• Ponzu cried until exhaustion and fell asleep in the SUV as Bodrō lamented the loss of her companions.
• Allen received a radio call from Chairman Netero and confirmed that the team had reached NGL.
• Allen described the Chimera Ants’ escalating aura and estimated the strength of the soldiers, commanders, Royal Guards, and King.
• Allen warned Netero that the conflict would become a war between Nen users, while Hisoka revealed his excitement and Illumi cautioned him against acting recklessly.
• After Netero ended the call, Allen privately declared that he would hunt and devour every Chimera Ant, including the Queen.

As the group traveled deeper into the NGL Autonomous Region, Ponzu asked Allen to teach her Nen so she could avenge her dead companions, but he told her she first needed to overcome her extreme emotions. Allen then confronted a division commander and its forces, intending to awaken and devour them before dealing with their leader.

• Allen explained that the Chimera Ants threatened humanity because they could keep evolving, and said the group needed to explore the Dark Continent and uncover the world's secrets.
• Ponzu spotted flying Chimera Ants, and Illumi, Kalluto, Hisoka, Bodrō, and Fei Jie set off to pursue separate groups.
• Ponzu asked Allen for powerful Nen abilities so she could kill the Chimera Ants, but Allen refused until she could control her anger, hatred, and fear.
• Allen called out a hidden group of nearly thirty Chimera Ants led by a heavily built division commander, who identified Allen as food for the queen.
• Allen blocked the commander's bone spikes with Ken, then rushed past him and awakened, killed, and devoured the ants behind him.

Allen forced the brown bear Squadron Leader to learn Nen through torture and pressure, and the Ant developed an ability called Shuttling Gate. After the Squadron Leader used it to escape and taunt Allen, Allen caught up instantly and revealed that he had taught him Nen to take his new ability.

• Allen overwhelmed the brown bear Squadron Leader with his aura, struck him, and explained how to focus Nen for attack and defense.
• Allen threatened the Squadron Leader and tortured him while pressuring him to develop a Nen ability; Ponzu watched from inside the vehicle.
• The brown bear Squadron Leader developed Shuttling Gate, which let him create two doors and travel between them after locking onto a destination with his eyes.
• The Squadron Leader escaped several hundred meters through a door and taunted Allen, but Allen used Jet Acceleration to catch up in just over a second.
• Allen revealed that he had taught the Squadron Leader Nen to take his ability and described how Shuttling Gate could aid his own combat tactics.
