When an overwhelming wave of malice swept in.

Kevin and Kite felt it so clearly.

They had entered each other's circle, a circle so vast that there was absolutely no room to hide.

"That aura, still so full of malice, sends chills down your spine."

Kite said helplessly, "The pressure that this kind of aura puts on ordinary people is unimaginable."

Without a strong mind and ability, even taking action in the face of such a force is a luxury.

That is something more terrifying than natural enemies, capable of evoking all the fears deep within the human heart.

The malice was made no attempt to conceal.

It reminded him of their first meeting.

"She seems to have become stronger."

This feeling made Kite even more urgent; the longer it dragged on, the lower the chances of achieving her goal of eliminating these invasive species.

Kevin was also enveloped in this circle at that moment, and he clearly felt this energy.

"It is indeed full of malice, comparable to Resentment, yet not the malice of Resentment; it is truly a terrifying creature."

But Kevin remained expressionless in the face of such malice.

He had experienced far too much of this kind of malicious atmosphere.

From the moment he came into this world and opened his eyes, he has been constantly experiencing all kinds of Resentment.

His journey to the Dark Continent further forged a resilient heart in him.

This terrifying pressure was even greater than that of the Giant Bird that once soared through the sky, that Overlord.

The difference is like that between a firefly and the bright moon.

The aura no longer steadily enveloped Kevin; its unrestrained power was no longer concealed and began to spread wildly.

This imposing aura instantly affected Kite, who couldn't help but turn around and give Kevin a sharp look.

For a fleeting moment, Kite thought a ferocious beast had appeared beside her.

"Is this proof of what you experienced in the Dark Continent?"

"I guess so, but thankfully a few years of stable life haven't worn it away."

Kevin responded with a smile.

At least he doesn't have to spend time like the Chairman to regain his former form.

After sensing the danger here, the feeling of not-so-distant past experiences quickly returned to my body.

"Come on, let me see who can be my opponent."

This is Kevin's real purpose in Emission such an imposing aura.

This is clearly telling Neferpitou that whoever poses a greater threat and is more confident in their own abilities should face him.

Not everyone is like the two of them.

At this moment, Melusina and the others, who had also entered the circle, also noticed the change in the aura within it.

Compared to the intense malice Kevin and the others felt, it was almost like needles constantly pricking them.

Men Qi couldn't help but sweat.

"Oh dear, she seems to hate us."

This level of malice is far more intense than anything we've encountered before.

Melusina sensed the malice in the air, amusement spreading across her face. "That's normal, isn't it? When that Cat Girl ran away, she practically wanted to skin us alive."

They didn't avoid those resentful gazes until they were quite a distance away.

If we were to ask who Neferpitou hated the most, it would undoubtedly be Melusina and his group.

"What if we rush in and run into her?"

Men Qi asked with a hint of helplessness, which made her a little nervous.

She understood perfectly well that neither she nor Buhaci could be a match for Neferpitou, let alone the fact that he possessed the Nen ability to Clone.

After thinking for a moment, Melusina shook her head, reassuring the two of them.

"That's unlikely. I can vaguely sense Kevin's aura; he's much stronger than me."

"Unless that Cat Woman is the weakest of the three guards, she won't come to face us."

She was confident that she wouldn't be easily defeated.

Regardless of which of the three guards.

So whether the strong or the weak face her, they will all be held back by her.

Without quickly defeating her, it's impossible to use the strategy of Tian Ji's horse racing, where the strongest opponent is used against the weakest, and the goal is to quickly eliminate her to free up manpower to strengthen the advantage.

The only options are weak against weak, and strong against strong.

The most profound lesson Neferpitou learned from that previous battle was not to judge a person's strength by their appearance.

Superficial and simple concepts are not everything.

In the last team.

In other words, some unexpected things happened in Netero's team.

As they stepped inside the circle.

That malice spread and pressed down on them.

Nobu was stunned for a moment.

In this oppressive and malicious atmosphere, his thoughts uncontrollably slid into fear.

He will die. He will die here. He will undoubtedly die a painful death. He will lose the battle and lose everything.

These were simply opponents he couldn't face; fighting them would make him feel like Chimera Ant.

They would crush him into dust as easily as a human crushes Chimera Ant.

He might even be captured because he is too weak and has no ability to resist. The enemy would open his brain and extract all the information from it.

All the information in his mind will become intelligence for the other side, and he will use this intelligence to attack humanity.

He will suffer endless torment and then die a miserable and humiliating death.

In that instant, under such terrifying pressure, those were the only thoughts that filled his mind.

Stop.

Netero left with those words and continued on his way without looking back.

Morel looked back at Nobu, who was still standing there, and sighed with understanding. He then forcefully turned his head back to focus his attention on the upcoming battle.

He wasn't strong enough to consider the needs of others.

Under such pressure, he might not fare much better.

Given that Nobu possesses such Nen ability, he is not the type of person who can withstand such pressure.

Each Nen ability can subtly reflect the will within each person's heart.

Netero's words struck Nobu's mind like a thunderbolt.

He recalled what Netero had said at the beginning.

He said the enemy appeared to be stronger than him.

He just thought it was a joke.

He wasn't unfamiliar with powerful auras; he had seen them in Netero, and he had seen them in Melusina as well.

But they are different.

These are all of the same kind; they are all human beings. Even the deepest malice is still malice from one's own kind.

It is fundamentally different from the malice of a creature of a completely different race.

The oppressive aura, like that of a natural enemy, weighed on him, and he became timid.

"No, I must move forward, I must move forward."

The fear in his mind compelled him, and he also forced himself to dispel the fear in his mind.

He said, his voice trembling.

Keep moving forward.

Even if his steps become smaller, he still has to move forward.

This is his duty.

Those teammates, they also need support.

Morel wasn't strong either, and neither Men Qi nor Buhaci were as powerful as enemies.

They are not much different from their actual strength.

They too will die in this battle.

Therefore, he cannot back down.

He must move forward; his Nen ability is his escape route. He cannot retreat here, lest everyone be wiped out.

"Move, Nobu, we can't watch them die."

Trembling, Nobu trembled.

His brow was soaked with sweat, almost completely obscuring his glasses.

He wanted to cry.

Tears had already flowed down her cheeks.

But he continued to move forward.

He needs to move forward.

With each step forward, the door that opens may offer even more opportunities for survival.

He continued forward like that.

Even if they're curled up on the ground, even if they're crawling on their stomachs.

Inside the nest.

The Royal Guards stood at the edge of the lair.

"The enemy did come, and they certainly wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by."

Neferpitou's face was fierce, and he stared menacingly into the distance like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"This is an unavoidable scheme, my king. You were not even born yet, but you are facing such a perilous situation."

"Indeed, you were born to lead all living beings, the supreme king!"

Youpi was playing the violin beside him, completely absorbed in the music.

The enemy was divided into three groups, each with varying strengths.

Neferpitou said.

She desperately wanted to rush into Melusina's team, but she couldn't.

The enemies on both sides had already taken up positions, their aura a complete provocation, telling them exactly what choice to make.

"I will stand guard here without moving an inch, completely protecting the King's safety."

Youpi stopped playing, his face contorted in a grimace, and said without hesitation.

This was highly unreasonable behavior, but neither Neferpitou nor Menthuthuyoupi spoke out in rebuttal.

Because the king's safety is always the top priority.

Nothing else matters.

Even if many problems might arise, and perhaps things shouldn't be this way, the king's safety is absolute.

And Youpi was the most insane one among them.

"I choose this side."

Youpi jumped down as he spoke. He loved fighting but was also prone to recklessness. Although he also wanted to protect the king, he had to face an enemy first.

The proper course of action is to keep the enemy outside the Palace.

Neferpitou silently disappeared from the spot, rushing towards his target.

Quickly finish off the opponent and return.

She won't hold back at all.

Gg88 country "Boom!"

A figure crashed down.

They appeared before Kevin and his companion amidst the smoke and dust.

A red-skinned humanoid monster emerged.

"This should be the last one born, Menthuthuyoupi, information indicating he has no Nen ability."

Kite looked at the enemy in front of her and spoke up to warn them.

They had already learned important information from the Chimera Ant.

They possess intelligence on many Division Leader.

Only the Royal Guards.

They had almost no intelligence outside of their territory; the only thing they knew was that Neferpitou possessed two Clones, but the specific functions of these Clone remained completely unknown.

Even if a simple Clone could restore Neferpitou's full strength, it would be a waste of his talent and abilities.

"You continue forward and break in to meet up with the others. I'll handle this."

Kevin clenched his fist and ripped off his jacket.

Since he's one of the guards, there's not much to say.

Kite nodded, glanced at Kevin, and then walked forward in silence.

"You are not allowed to come near!"

Youpi roared, and an arm shot out like a spring, trying to stop Kite's actions.

That's so rude.

Kevin's voice came directly to Youpi's ears; he had appeared there without anyone noticing.

Amidst the other person's wide, incredulous gaze, he punched them in the face.

"Bang!"

A loud bang.

Its red body was sent flying, crashing heavily into the forest, snapping many trees in an instant and carving a deep trench.

Kite continued walking without stopping, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Kevin stood where Youpi had just stood, shook his hand, and looked at the dust-filled area ahead.

"It's really hard."

He didn't hold back with that punch; although it was a test, it was definitely a real attack.

But after throwing that punch, he felt he hadn't gained anything.

It shouldn't have caused the enemy any damage; their skin was much tougher than he had thought.

The other party has an incredibly strong physique.

Enhancement Type?

Kevin couldn't be sure.

But such a resilient body cannot be viewed through a human lens.

Kevin kept his eyes fixed ahead as he pondered the situation.

A figure stood up.

With a casual wave of his hand, the resulting gust of wind dispersed the dust.

Youpi looked a little disheveled, with sand, pebbles, and grass stuck to his body.

However, it is clear that neither the area where he was hit nor his overall condition was affected.

"You must be killed, and you must return to the king's side to await his birth."

Youpi scratched his head and muttered to himself, looking somewhat anxious.

He didn't think too much about it from beginning to end.

The enemy has arrived, and they are very strong.

They must each choose a path to stop the enemy's advance.

So he came.

The problem is that he failed; one person couldn't be stopped.

So he became anxious and impatient.

"I need to kill you quickly."

He spoke impatiently, and mutations began to occur on his body, with numerous eyes spreading around him.

Its entire head transformed into a bizarre object covered in eyes, and its two arms swelled up into enormous fists.

He was no longer the same person he used to be; he had become a pure monster.

"Transmutation Type, huh? Not surprising."

After all, Transmutation Type and Enhancement Type are adjacent types, and judging from the Chimera Ant in front of it, it should be a Transmutation Type leaning towards Enhancement Type.

However, they truly possess abilities that humans cannot match: the ability to alter their physical structure so freely and adapt immediately.

For humans to alter their bodies through the Transmutation Type, long-term training and unwavering willpower are required.

To be able to transform from a two-meter-tall, muscular woman into a beautiful little girl, like Biscuit, is already an incredible feat for a top-tier fighter.

"Aaaaaah!"

Youpi roared and charged straight at Kevin.

"A reckless player?"

Kevin muttered to himself.

He jumped slightly to the side, dodging the opponent's attack. The opponent's huge fist slammed into the ground like a boneless whip, creating a large hole.

As Kevin dodged to the side, his other arm shot out and flew right in front of Kevin.

Kevin crossed his arms to block the attack, but was pushed backward, sliding two or three meters before coming to a stop.

"Powerful strength."

Kevin looked at his arms and murmured to himself.

However, his use of Nen was very crude, and it seemed somewhat different from the powerful learning ability of Neferpitou described by Inoue Melusina.

Is it a genetic issue?

After all, the courts are worlds apart.

Within this well of thought, several more arms sprouted from Youpi's body, some of which swung and slashed wildly like blades, launching a chaotic attack in Kevin's direction.

Kevin stretched out his arms, moving them rapidly to block all attacks, even creating sparks and metallic clanging sounds as he slashed through the air.

Shi's arms were now covered in silver scales.

Its defenses are so strong that no enemy could break through them.

"A strong, resilient body, branded like that!"

His body flashed like a streak of Flowing Light and vanished from the spot.

The Red Conch's fist landed directly on the opponent's snail-like skin.

Scalding hot sizzling grass gushed out.

The enemy was sent flying once again by that punch.
