An aura of resentment to the extreme suddenly transformed around Meruem. Its originally bloodthirsty crimson color completely changed into something that seemed to come from beneath the Nine Netherworlds. Not only that, it also carried a power Uchiha Hiko found very familiar.
That... was... Corpse Qi? Evil enough to chill one's heart.
