A-Class!

It took a whole day for Oboro to return to the palace from the unknown territory.

The V5 manager, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over to Long with a huff and a huff.

They were preparing to confront and punish him.

Anthony and Fante looked somber.

Because they had just received a message.

Ging Freecss, the Boar in the Zodiacs, will take over as chairman.

This undoubtedly caused a huge uproar within the Association. Everyone was discussing how the Association would choose a new leader after the president's death.

The different factions within the Association naturally support different people... Those with power, status, and prestige are almost all brought up for discussion and debate.

But no one expected that the choice had already been decided beforehand, and it was still Ging Freecss... Even if it were Yorkshire or Pariston, some people could barely accept it.

"Team leader."

Anthony caught a glimpse of Oboro returning, quickly composed himself, and prepared to inform Ging Freecss about the matter.

After all, Kim's election was not part of their plan.

This also exceeded the captain's expectations.

Before he could even utter a word, a figure rushed out impatiently.

It was the person in charge of V5 who ran up to Oboro first.

"Oboro! I am now formally informing you, in my capacity as the head of the Association... that you, as..."

The man, arrogant and haughty, was about to point a finger at Long's face.

Suddenly, Guanlong blew a breath towards him...

Really, it was just one breath.

The next second, the person in charge stopped speaking abruptly, his body stiffened like a stone statue, and his eyes lost all color.

Outsiders cannot see it.

But from Oboro's perspective, his gentle breath caused the other's soul to leave the body and dissipate like mist from behind...

A weak soul... or rather, a weak will, doesn't even have the right to fall or be absorbed.

Soul pressure.

This is yet another in-depth development of the Nen.

His Nen power allows him to alter Nen power to any degree and structure it according to his own will.

It also better suits Thresh's skill characteristics.

He walked past the dead person in charge with nonchalance, as if he had done something insignificant.

But Fante and Anthony's pupils contracted.

They realized... the person in charge of V5 had vanished in an instant.

"What's up?"

Oboro noticed the expressions on his two companions' faces and asked.

"Captain... you..."

Anthony swallowed hard. After disappearing for a day, he was back... From the outside, the captain seemed no different than before.

But when he met Long's deep, dark eyes, Anthony's heart started pounding for no reason.

"Yes, it has been absorbed."

Long knew what he was going to ask, and smiled slightly.

"Captain, news from the Association is that half a day ago, Ging Freecss became the chairman. He was personally appointed by Netero before his death, and the procedures were completed and reported to the authorities before his death, which means that his position as chairman is legitimate."

Fante added in his voice.

He remained silent, lost in thought.

He suddenly laughed.

Anthony and Fante were thinking he would be angry, or they were scrambling to come up with a solution.

Unexpectedly, the reaction was so easy.

"Captain, what do we do? Right now, most members within the Association are still opposed to this, and many have suggested you become the president... instead of any of the Zodiacs. Some have even spontaneously held a vote, and your votes are far ahead. According to one of the Association's founding rules, when more than 70% of the members are dissatisfied with a decision made by the management, it can be overturned unconditionally and a new one made. This includes the appointment of the president... If we Good Luck, we can exploit this rule and find some loopholes..."

Anthony suggested.

"No..."

Before he could finish speaking, Oboro waved his hand and said, "Since Ging Freecss can become the chairman, he is absolutely certain that I will be unable to intervene from within the Association and will be helpless."

"That man is very shrewd."

"So... we're just going to admit defeat like this?" Anthony choked on his words.

After saying that, his gaze sharpened, "Or... should we kill him?!"

He believed his captain was far stronger than Ging Freecss.

Oboro's Nen, particularly its ability to absorb souls, is known to her teammates... but Anthony and Fante are not at the level to truly grasp just how strong Oboro is right now.

But before that, Oboro had said that he had a better chance of killing the Chimera Ant King than Netero.

This proves that Oboro's strength at that time was already no less than that of the guild leader, and perhaps even greater...

Let's not talk about the present.

"To deal with someone like him, killing him, while effective... is often the most basic approach. Moreover, he should already be prepared to die, using his own life as a lure to trap me. He knows he's going to die, and once I make my move, he definitely has the ability to bring me down, preventing me from ever touching the Hunter Association again. This move of acting first and informing later... already shows his resolve," Oboro said to himself.

"Then we..."

"Let's go."

Guan Long's expression clearly showed that he already had a plan in mind and was confident of victory, but he didn't say it outright.

Instead, he turned around and led Fante and Anthony away from there.

"Stop! Oboro!"

What did you do to him?

Not far away, the V5 team noticed the person in charge's strange behavior and went to investigate.

Upon seeing that his body was cold and lifeless, everyone was stunned.

The person in charge's assistant shouted at Long's retreating figure, "You bastard, you killed him?!"

"Are you crazy?! Do you even know what you're doing?"

"You not only broke the law, but your crimes were heinous..."

Long stopped and slowly turned her head.

He looked at a group of V5 investigation teams and armed personnel.

There were about a hundred people.

In just over a day, they had almost collected all the samples... The reason they were still here was to wait for Long.

As instructed by V5's higher-ups, they needed to bring Oboro to V5's headquarters to await further instructions.

"Law?"

Long raised an eyebrow.

"Are you new to V5?"

The assistant stammered.

"The word 'law' doesn't exist in my dictionary, especially not for those high-ranking, power-hungry parasites. Go back and tell them... if they're tired of living, I can collect their corpses!" As he finished speaking, his hazy eyes trembled.

An invisible aura surged from his body, like a rolling tide.

It wasn't a visible aura; it was more like a pure pressure.

Mental fluctuation!

Fante and Anthony, who were standing nearby, sensed it most clearly: this aura wasn't directed at them.

Even so, their body temperature plummeted, their consciousness became hazy, and they had the illusion that their will was Separation from their bodies.

Compared to the two, the V5 members who were affected by this shockwave were in a much worse state!

Like rows of candles laid out on the ground, they were extinguished in an instant by a gust of wind.

Each person retains the posture and expression they had in life, but they have all become inanimate objects.

His eyes were dull.

Only the assistant stood there, pale-faced, his legs trembling.

There was a foul smell coming from my lower body... I peed.

Then, the man began to scream, as if he had gone mad, and looked at Long with the eyes of someone who had seen a demon.

He pulled out handfuls of his hair and ran away.

Long turned around and started walking again.

"..."

Fante and Anthony stared in horror at the group of about a hundred people who had just been alive, now dead in perfect unison.

What did the captain... do? They could only sense a slight mental fluctuation emanating from him...

It seems to be a kind of Nen.

But it doesn't quite seem like it...

Host: Oboro.

Race: Human.

Age: 27.

Specialty: Three-star Ancient Literature Hunter x Hunter.

Combat Rank: Dark Continent A-level life form and consciousness (no rules).

Overall attribute evaluation: Extradimensional life in the human world.

Walking down the street, Long opened his attribute panel and took a look.

Unlike before, after absorbing the souls of Shaiapouf and Youpi, he glanced at the panel and saw that his combat rank, or Nen level, was marked on it.

It ranked second in the world.

The key to this explosive growth lies in the three souls of Netero, Shaiapouf, and Youpi.

After absorbing Meruem's soul, for the first time, his stats became quite different.

Many of the smaller boxes have disappeared, and a new option for race has been added.

In addition, there is a combat power hierarchy. Instead of Hunter x Hunter rankings and levels, they are directly categorized into the 'life species sequence' of the Dark Continent.

Based on a comprehensive evaluation of his attributes, Oboro originally thought he would be a fourth-order superhuman, but now he is a 'super-dimensional life form in the human world'.

The analysis of several Nen, including attribute stacking, is also missing.

The system is also making changes and judgments based on his current situation.

Indeed... the added value of the armor caused a chain reaction that transformed his body.

"In other words, my current personal abilities have exceeded the understanding of the conventional Hunter World, transcended the ordinary power system... and reached the level of the Dark Continent. Continuous development and research into Nen have also brought them to their limit, breaking through the framework of 'Nen'... In the dimension of life, there is no longer any need to rely on numerical values to reflect them."

"Grade A, huh..."

Long murmured.

We have Meruem to thank for this evolution.

This ant has dedicated its soul to itself to the fullest extent.

Of course, the main reason is related to Komugi.

Level A vaguely reminded me of V5's danger ratings for the five major disasters.

Am I now... also considered a 'source of disaster'?
