If Hisoka's Nen abilities perfectly embodied the idea that "what suits you is best," then what Allen displayed was a Mangekyo-like array of endlessly emerging, intricate, ever-changing abilities.
Whether it was Goz's "Invisible Left Wrist," Rikudō's Nen that enhanced an object's rotation, or Rikudō's jet-engine-like high-speed movement, all of them had been brought to their fullest potential in his hands.
Beyond that, many Nen abilities seized from other fighters and further developed by himself also made their appearances in this match.
So many interesting Nen abilities undoubtedly filled Hisoka, that Battle Maniac, with unprecedented excitement. He could not help grinning as he praised, "Amazing! Absolutely amazing! You really are the most delicious fruit I've cultivated with my own hands! And your ability is practically identical to someone else I know!"
"You mean Phantom Troupe Leader Chrollo's Bandit's Secret Scroll?" Allen asked with great interest.
"Oh? You know about Chrollo's ability too?" A flicker of surprise crossed Hisoka's face.
After all, although the Phantom Troupe were A-rank wanted criminals, the outside world knew very little about them. In particular, only a handful of people knew about the Leader's ability to steal other people's abilities.
Allen nodded slightly. "Hmm! I do.
And I need to correct one thing. Rather than stealing other people's Nen, Chrollo's ability temporarily steals the right to use it.
Not only can he not use, improve, and enhance them as freely as I can, but once the ability's owner dies, the ability he stole disappears from that book.
Of course, if the deceased has a powerful desire for their Nen to remain, that is another matter.
Simply put, his raw strength is not all that impressive. He relies more on his mind and intelligence to fight, and he has to identify his opponent in advance and make extensive preparations.
If you want to fight him, you'd better not give him any time to prepare."
"Oh my! What incredible intelligence-gathering abilities. Even I didn't know those secrets." Hisoka's eyes instantly lit up.
Before meeting Allen, Chrollo had been the person Hisoka most wanted to fight. He had even joined the Phantom Troupe just to find an opportunity to be alone with the Leader.
But unfortunately, Chrollo, whose conduct was exceptionally cautious, had never given him that chance from beginning to end.
"There are many secrets in this world. Even the world we live in is merely a tiny part of a vast greater world. Who could possibly be The Almighty? But there is one thing I'm certain of: right now, you simply cannot defeat me. Everything you've done is merely to prolong this battle as much as possible, so you can keep enjoying that thrill of brushing past death. Am I right?"
After saying that, Allen instantly concentrated his aura in his eyes. He immediately saw the pink gum concealed across his body with "In," namely "Stretchable Love."
Hisoka had secretly stuck all of it onto him during their rapid exchange of blows.
To prevent it from being discovered early, he had only attached a tiny bit each time. By now, it had gradually gathered into a large mass, sticking both Allen's hands and feet together so tightly that he could not move.
"That's right! But when did you notice my little moves?" Hisoka asked in return, a crazed smile hanging on his face.
"I noticed from the very beginning. Also, it seems you've strengthened your ability. The old you couldn't control so many strands of Stretchable Love, much less make it leave your body." Allen explained casually, as though he did not take the pink gum binding his limbs seriously at all.
"Then why didn't you dodge?"
Hisoka narrowed his eyes, releasing astonishing killing intent from his entire body.
"Because there was no need! I need you to understand clearly that we are no longer Nen users on the same level. The power I possess now far surpasses yours. No matter what little tricks you use, you cannot cross this chasm between us."
The moment his words fell!
Allen directly activated the Alliance Insignia equipped on his body.
In an instant!
The tough, elastic gum that had been stuck to his hands and feet was immediately dismantled by some unknown force and rapidly dissipated into the air.
The Hunter Badge's ability removed all immobilization, slowing, and stun effects after use.
Unfortunately, Stretchable Love fit two of those three categories, so it was naturally and inevitably removed.
At this sight, Hisoka's pupils instantly dilated. He muttered to himself in disbelief, "How is that possible! You actually destroyed my Nen! No! That's not right. You didn't simply destroy it—you made it vanish into thin air."
"Don't be so surprised! In the world of Nen abilities, nothing is impossible. Now, it's time for this game to come to an end."
As the last word was blurted out, Allen once again used the supersonic movement ability he had developed to the limit and shot forward with a boom.
Although Hisoka still wanted to use his rubber-like ability to intercept and move rapidly at the same time.
Unfortunately, just as his body was pulled away, a giant hand appeared out of thin air, forcing him to activate another strand and dodge in an emergency.
At the same time, Allen no longer merely used jet-like aura for straight-line acceleration as he had before. Instead, he abruptly stopped halfway through his charge, turned, stopped again, turned again...
He forcibly evaded all the hidden rubbery strands in the air and flashed to a spot less than half a meter away from Hisoka.
Staring at Hisoka's clown face, so shocked that he could not speak, Allen asked meaningfully, "Have you ever been hit by Sonic Fist?"
"Mm-hahahahaha! No! Come on! Let me feel it properly!"
A pervert truly was a pervert!
Faced with such a potentially fatal crisis, Hisoka not only failed to feel fear and despair like most fighters in the Sky Arena, but instead laughed madly. At the same time, he spread his arms and calmly accepted his defeat, willing to pay for it with his life.
"As you wish!"
Allen showed no mercy as he infused his arms with jetting aura and began wildly swinging his fists at a speed the naked eye could not distinguish, battering his opponent like a punching bag.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Because of the terrifying speed, every punch produced deafening thunder and white shockwaves the instant it broke the sound barrier. All the spectators in the stands rose to their feet, staring dumbfoundedly at the astonishing high-speed assault on the arena.
With just the first punch!
Hisoka's "Ken" and "Stretchable Love" defense failed completely, providing only the slightest buffering effect.
Then the skin, muscles, and bones all over his body were crushed and torn apart alive beneath the terrifying speed of the punches. In the end, like a tattered doll, he fell stiffly onto the arena, with only half a breath left.
Of course, Allen did not feel much better. Using fists at the speed of sound was also an enormous burden and source of damage to his body. In just two or three seconds, he had lost over six hundred health points.
Without the Hunter class template's protection, both of his arms would have been ruined beyond doubt.
The more it was like this, the more he craved the Life Essence of those high-level Chimera Ants that had undergone genetic modification and enhancement, especially the Three Royal Guards and the King.
In fact, after Red Dragon had devoured so many cocoons, Allen's body had already surpassed human limits under the enhancement of vast amounts of Life Essence, gradually developing the bloodline power of the Night Elf.
But unfortunately, this transformation could not happen overnight. It required a long period of digestion and the gradual restructuring of his internal organs, muscles, and bones.
Simply put, Life Essence was like some kind of powerful tonic that increased one's potential. After consuming it, one needed a considerable period of training before its effects could manifest.
