Gathering X As Long as It Tastes Good

The crater resembles one caused by a meteorite impact.

Kevin lay down directly in the center.

With eyes closed.

If it weren't for the fact that you could see his chest rising and falling with his breath, you would have thought he was dead.

I'm so tired.

This was the first time Kevin had ever delivered such an extreme performance.

He used almost every means at his disposal, applying all sorts of buffs and power-enhancing techniques without hesitation.

To facilitate this operation, he even injected himself with one drug and drank two other drugs.

Even for someone like him who creates his own potions, the combination of three different potions, one of which is enhanced, essentially puts a tremendous strain on his physical abilities.

The sudden outburst was too much of a strain for him, who was still in a human body.

If it weren't for his physical support, and the fact that his entire Vertebrae had been modified and strengthened with A-Rank medicine, he might already be completely unconscious.

It's already a remarkable achievement that they can maintain a clear mind and remain in this rigid state for the time being.

He is now experiencing the consequences of Netero's final move, unleashing all his attacks.

While not quite that outrageous, it's pretty close.

By this time, Netero had recovered considerably from watching the match and hopped over using his remaining leg.

Standing at the edge of the pit, looking at Kevin in the center.

"You brat, are you dead yet?"

Even if you die, I won't die.

Kevin forced himself to answer.

He then slowly got up. It wasn't that he didn't want to be fast, but rather that going too fast would tear his body apart and cause him too much pain.

He stood up and looked at Netero, who was standing on one leg by the edge of the pit.

Although he has recovered somewhat, Netero's skin is still a bit dry, like a wrinkled little old man.

Although that's who he always was.

"Old man, you look really pathetic."

"Heh, this is the price of being willful."

Netero smiled broadly, showing no regret whatsoever.

Kevin said nothing more and slowly climbed up.

However, the crater he created with that punch was like a meteorite impact; it would take some effort to climb out.

"Damn it, why am I using so much force?"

Kevin, who had struggled for a long time to climb out, sat on the ground, panting heavily.

Once he crawls out of the hole he dug, he'll act like he's dying.

Did you kill him?

Netero frowned and suddenly asked.

Kevin looked up at him and shook his head.

"I'm not sure. Although I have a backup plan, to be honest, nothing is 100% certain."

Even Nion's prophecy.

Didn't he suffer a backlash before? He was directly tricked into the Dark Continent and almost died there.

Although there are some subtle hints in the Prophecy Poem.

But there's nothing we can do.

Prophecy Poem foretell events covering the entire month and typically consist of only about four lines.

And this is the battle at the beginning of the month.

Even though it was extremely important, it only took up two sentences.

Therefore, there isn't much information that can be deciphered.

We can only infer potential problems and make predictions based on the combined prophecies of everyone.

This is the result of Kevin drawing upon his years of experience in interpreting Prophecy Poem and taking targeted actions.

The function of Prophecy Poem is essentially that of a pure information gathering channel.

Because the future will change as you change.

But predicting the future is itself about obtaining information you didn't know before.

"Alright, we've already done our best."

Netero, on the other hand, was quite nonchalant about it.

Even he, despite having planted a fatal nuclear bomb in his heart.

However, he couldn't determine whether his method of mutual destruction would work on Meruem.

Nen ability are just that unreasonable.

Not to mention the even more unreasonable Resentment.

"But don't worry, I'm inclined to believe the matter is completely resolved."

As he spoke, Kevin raised his hand and pointed in a direction.

That's where the Resentment just erupted in the distance.

"I wouldn't dare say much about other aspects, but in the realm of Resentment, I think I'd at least be considered an expert."

Kevin gave himself a little self-praise.

There was a little trouble there just now, but it seems to be over now.

Netero also had a vague feeling about it, but given his current poor condition, he couldn't make a direct judgment, even with his extensive experience.

The two skipped over the topic.

Kevin looked at Netero's current appearance.

"With only one leg and one arm, it's likely it will take a long time for you to recover."

Netero didn't care at all about these words, as if he wasn't the one who had lost his arms and legs.

"I'm already very happy that he's not dead."

No one wanted to die, even Netero fought with the determination to die.

He only paid the price of losing an arm and a leg, which he considered a very worthwhile deal.

However, it would be even better if it could be restored.

He also has sufficient means and channels.

Having enough confidence, there's naturally nothing to worry about.

So he asked, "Aren't you the apothecary of Phantom Dream? Do you have any suitable potions?"

This is a title given to Kevin by some people within the Nen ability circle.

After all, the potions he creates with his Nen ability are sometimes quite outrageous and powerful.

To put it bluntly...

The existence of Kevin's serum has greatly reduced the number of deaths each year within the Nen ability realm.

Of course, this also significantly increases the unpredictability and brutality of battles.

After all, if you ship them, they ship them too.

It can be said that he single-handedly changed the entire Nen user community.

To everyone's surprise, Kevin shook his head.

"My current potions can only achieve perfect limb reconnection. To be honest, I don't have the best materials to achieve complete limb regeneration."

Reconnecting and regrowing a perfect limb are two completely different things.

If limb regeneration is achievable, then the regeneration of other body parts is certainly achievable as well.

This includes, but is not limited to, internal organs, the heart, and even the brain.

Because they are essentially all part of the body.

It's far superior to limb reattachment.

"If we go to the Dark Continent to collect materials, we might be able to find suitable ones."

Kevin didn't mince words and spoke frankly.

He had indeed made related potions on the Dark Continent before, but he had used them up.

However, the materials they brought back from the Dark Continent were limited.

Netero didn't seem to mind and nodded.

Since the Ant King had already eaten his limbs, there was no way to get them back.

Moreover, even if he didn't eat it, after that attack, his severed hands and feet would most likely have turned to ash on the battlefield.

Just then, as if sensing something, the two turned their heads in the same direction.

A Griffin flew down from the sky and landed slowly in front of them, stirring up a gentle breeze.

Men Qi jumped down from the Griffin and looked around.

The expressions they make are as hilarious as they can be.

"Is this the kind of effect a human could produce?"

It's no wonder her expression was so interesting; it was just too outrageous.

They forcefully created a crater in the center of the battlefield.

Moreover, you can see all sorts of dense cracks all around.

Not to mention, many places were completely dried out and cracked from the heat.

Simply put, it was a complete mess.

Anyone who didn't know better would think this was a weapons testing ground.

Then, her gaze was drawn to Netero.

The main problem is that Netero's current behavior is far too outrageous compared to before.

This made Men Qi's expression turn ugly.

As a member of the Hunter Association, she still held Netero in high esteem.

Naturally, he wasn't saddened by Netero's current appearance.

I looked at Kevin was sitting exhausted on the ground.

To be honest, having known Kevin for so long, she had never seen Kevin so exhausted.

"Thank you for your hard work."

She spoke very sincerely.

"Let's go, I'll take you back first. You need to get some treatment or something."

The best solution would have been to bring Nobu along, but there was no way; the sheer force of the battle here made it impossible for Nobu to come.

So they had Men Qi pick him up.

Fortunately, the problem did not become too serious.

Carrying the two people, the Griffin took off from the ground.

Inside the Palace.

By this time, the Palace had been largely destroyed, and the remaining half was almost indistinguishable from ruins.

In the central square.

The original Flesh Fruit Forest had been burned down, and a scorching heat still lingered in the air.

Whether or not to burn them is essentially meaningless, since the previous Resentment has already burned these unhatched soldier Cocoon into empty shells.

Nowadays, burning is more about cleaning up the battlefield.

The people who participated in the battle were scattered in various places.

Nobu stood directly in the center, with the Gate the Four-Dimensional Apartment beneath his feet.

It's already been converted into a temporary emergency center.

Gon jumped out from inside.

There were still some gauze and bandages on his body.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

Kiy walked over and asked.

He also had bandages and gauze on his body, and looked to be in a slightly more serious condition than Gon.

Gon shook his head.

"I'm fine, but Morel is lying inside."

As the main force that withstood the onslaught of Youpi throughout the entire battle, Morel's injuries were not light.

Nobu put down his phone.

"The battle situation here has been reported, and the Association's Airship are already on their way. They should arrive in another hour or two."

Then he fell silent.

At this moment, no one had much desire to chat. Apart from the young Gon and Qi, the others were not interested in talking.

The main issue is that we don't yet know the situation on Kevin's side.

The Clone they had just seen was the biggest surprise in this annihilation battle.

To be honest, everyone here is a very experienced Nen user, and they have already considered the worst-case scenario many times in their minds.

It's hard not to make an unpleasant expression.

Even Melusina fell silent, waiting quietly.

It was already strange that Neferpitou took effect so quickly after poisoning; now it seems that the victim may have willingly chosen to die.

Youpi was killed by Kevin himself.

The death of Youpi was not unexpected.

But Neferpitou made a mistake, not to mention the Flesh Fruit Forest, so many Cocoon were burned at the same time.

Melusina was already very familiar with Resentment, could not help but worry.

"I'm back!"

Gon's senses remained sharp, and he spotted the small dot flying in the distant sky from afar.

Everyone immediately perked up and looked over.

The Griffin has already flown over.

They had already spotted the two people sitting on the Griffin's back; although they couldn't see them clearly, the outcome didn't seem too bad.

Everyone silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Until the Griffin landed.

Even Morel, leaning on his cane, insisted on running out of the Apartment.

"Chairman!"

Seeing the Chairman's miserable state, Nobu and Morel immediately went to greet him.

Nobu shed tears.

He is now filled with remorse. Although he made a significant contribution in this battle, he still blames himself for his cowardly behavior.

He should have been a crucial backup option in this battle.

Even Morel, wearing sunglasses, was in tears.

Having witnessed Netero's triumphant and confident demeanor, seeing Netero like this now makes it hard not to cry.

"Hahaha! Why are you crying? Are you two still children? You should be happy, we've won!"

Netero, on the other hand, burst into laughter.

"Chairman, don't say anything yet, let's go in and get treatment first."

Nobu didn't want to listen to any of this and forcibly helped Netero into the Four-Dimensional Apartment.

Morel followed him inside.

The others outside then gathered around Kevin.

Melusina leaned closer and began to grope him all over.

I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no problems.

"Why are you looking so gloomy? I'm not like that old man; he's old, I'm still in my prime."

Kevin chuckled and laughed it off.

Kite then spoke, her brow furrowed.

He recounted the problems they had encountered, including his conjectures.

Kevin responded with a serious expression.

"Wait a little longer."

Although he didn't know what Kevin meant by "wait a little longer," he didn't say anything more.

Melusina, standing nearby, naturally guessed what was going on, since she was the one who brought Little Wang along.

Kevin started asking them about the details of the battle, and they chatted for quite a while.

Melusina seemed to sense something and suddenly raised her hand to pat Kevin.

Although not much was said.

But Kevin instantly understood and turned his head away.

Something vaguely approached.

That subtle aura made no attempt to conceal itself.

Everyone present immediately formed a response.

Kite, Gon, Qi, and the others immediately assumed fighting stances and quickly spread out.

Meruem and the others, who hadn't said much in response, were now on high alert, as if they had encountered a natural enemy, and retreated frantically.

Meruem even instinctively entered a state of invisibility.

That's terrifying.

That smell was too stimulating.

Only Yaqi and Buhaci had witnessed it long ago, so they did not react excessively.

Only then did everyone realize what that vaguely visible thing was.

A Giant Snake, almost transparent, yet remarkably clear.

It swam over and, upon seeing Kevin and Melusina, immediately moved closer and positioned itself between them.

Then it even showed a human-like expression.

He looked languid, but also somewhat uncomfortable.

"You said you ate too much? You feel a little uncomfortable and want to rest and digest?"

Melusina listened to Little Wang's meaning.

Little Wang nodded his enormous head, said something, and then his body became increasingly transparent until he disappeared.

Then Melusina sensed that Little Wang had hidden inside Shang's body again, just like when he and Shang smuggled themselves into the next life.

This time, however, it didn't hide secretly; it clearly shrank in, so the sensation was very obvious.

"What do you mean? She did manage to intercept it?"

Melusina's expression visibly relaxed, and she nodded slightly.

"They said it was delicious."

"As long as it tastes good."

Kevin's expression relaxed as well.

The problem has been resolved satisfactorily.
