International Wrap-Up X Border Reunion
"Now for an important news briefing: according to the latest news from the International Affairs Department..."
"The actions of the East Gorteau Republic, which previously caused a great uproar internationally, have already—"
"----In addition, another important member of the Mito Federation NGL Autonomous Region, has also encountered a major crisis."
"According to International Security Maintenance Agency, a large amount of debris has been found within its autonomous region, which is a violation of human rights,"
The Radio was broadcasting the latest international news.
"What? How could you lie to people like that?"
After listening to the news broadcast, Gon said with great dissatisfaction.
He experienced it firsthand; this is completely different from what was described.
How can the news lie?
For Gon, it was difficult to understand the various political statements made internationally, and the reasons for concealing these matters.
Kiy but unconcerned.
Although he could understand some of it, he didn't care.
"This matter has finally been resolved perfectly."
97
Kite sat down beside him and let out a heavy sigh of relief; only now could he truly relax.
He slumped onto the sofa, grabbed the water bottle next to him, and took a big gulp.
They are now on Airship departing the country.
Morel, Nobu, Netero, and Morel's two disciples remained in the Palace ruins.
They need to proceed with further processing.
Although Netero is now in a hospital bed, it doesn't affect the fact that the old man is still full of energy.
Or perhaps he's not dead yet, and he can't rest at a time like this.
As the Chairman of the Hunter x Hunter Association and the main person in charge of this matter, he still has many things to deal with.
For a martial artist of his level, there is only exhaustion, and serious injury means being on the verge of death.
As long as it's not a life-threatening injury, even a severed limb, and it doesn't affect his energy.
Kevin and the others were unintentional participants, so they left immediately.
Because what happened afterward was none of his business, and he didn't need to deal with anything.
Netero will handle any reports related to this matter.
Kevin also didn't really want to associate with the people from the various international organizations that were cleaning up the battlefield.
He defines himself primarily within the Nen ability realm.
Any dealings with large organizations, external forces, national powers, companies, etc., are handled by Light.
They are partners, deeply bound by shared interests.
Just like with anything related to the Nen ability world, no one goes to Light, they go to Kevin.
At most, Light will let them know.
Light never dealt with it, nor did he do anything subjectively, because he didn't understand it, didn't comprehend it, and wasn't in that circle.
Like Kevin, he's a pharmacist, and a bit of a homebody.
He would not get involved in anything that involved company officials or non- Nen user.
Making contact or taking any action rashly could very likely affect Light's operations.
Over the years, they have maintained this relationship and developed a very deep understanding with each other.
This is why, over the years, no officials or similar figures have bothered him.
Those who have the ability, the right, and the desire to customize medicines will naturally do so through Light's channels.
Light's bodyguards would also quickly report any suspicious activity related to Nen user to Kevin or Kurapika for handling.
Light's side was already aware of the potential impact of this incident on them and had been in contact and dealing with it.
After this incident, Light's public image will likely rise considerably.
Men Qi was not far away, hung up the phone and walked over.
"These politicians are really quick."
Men Qi looked disgusted and said helplessly.
For the Association member like Men Qi, especially Star Rank Hunter x Hunter, there's no one who doesn't hate those government officials.
Of course, these officials also disliked Hunter x Hunter.
The Hunter Association acts as the best mediator, and the various privileges Hunter License stem from this.
What's happening within the Mitene Federation is no secret to the major powers.
They even knew the cause and consequences of the incident long ago.
They were simply going with the flow.
The Mitene Federation is an extremely closed alliance, an alliance of island nations that has almost no contact with the outside world.
Instead of integrating into the international community, they keep popping up to annoy people.
It also has some natural resources.
They turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, and after the matter was resolved, various forces directly used the pretext of aid and search to launch a large-scale invasion.
The Chimeric Ant incident has effectively cleansed the Mitene Federation.
"The Chimera Ant incident has been covered up. According to the Hunter Association, as long as the remaining Chimera Ant behave well, they will be classified as friendly Demonic Beast."
In short, the identity problem of the Chimeric Ant is solved very easily.
The international community, or rather, the major powers, have absolutely no interest in Chimeric Ant.
It's just something that's been played out before.
It's pointless.
After listening to all sorts of information, Kevin rubbed his temples.
For a powerful nation, Chimeric Ant are nothing more than toys.
Just Chimera Ant.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.
However, this also shows that what these major powers hold in their hands are the most terrifying things.
For an individual to attempt to oppose state institutions is nothing short of delusional.
Indeed, it was right for Netero to stay alive.
Kevin couldn't help but feel fortunate.
As one of the most famous Chairman in the history of the Hunter Association, Netero greatly enhanced the Hunter Association's status since he became Chairman, which also shows that Chairman Netero can be considered a politician.
He is definitely not a brute who only knows how to use force.
Furthermore, having dealt with various countries for so many years, Netero's existence is indispensable if one truly wants to explore the Dark Continent properly.
It would have been better if he hadn't stopped me.
But after this incident, at least he won't stop Kevin.
That's what Kevin himself thinks.
"You heard it too, the identity issue you were concerned about has been resolved."
Kevin turned his head and looked at the Chimeric Ant huddled together on the other side, talking about something.
After he finished speaking, he asked, "What are your plans now? What are your ideas for the future?"
Reina was originally just a little girl, but she regained most of her memories; it could be said that she was completely reborn and resurrected.
Perhaps it's because she was originally a little girl that she doesn't have many memories.
In contrast, his older brother Rukira, who is only a few years older, has grown up in a way Chimeric Ant is truly astonishing.
You would never guess that the current Rukira was once just a child.
Together with Peggy, he is now the leader of the Chimeric Ant team.
Peggy spoke first.
"First, as you promised us, you would transform our appearance to look more human."
Strangely enough, none of the nine Chimeric Ant that defected to their side resembled humans.
It can be said that they are basically all depictions of animals standing up.
In any case, if the issue of appearance isn't resolved, making any choices later will be extremely difficult.
"That's no problem. Once you've decided on your future paths, I'll get started. It won't take long."
Kevin nodded and said.
After all, these Chimeric Ant had been selected and had contributed to the war, so they deserved preferential treatment.
Is our Village still there?
Rukira.
Peggy nodded immediately. "Yes, I have a record of it."
Having regained his memories early on, Peggy secretly did many things, such as dismantling the drug factories that he had previously recorded in his mind.
The various hidden dwellings associated with it were cleared one by one, and then the search was expanded to the villages connected to it.
Only when all other options were exhausted did they direct their efforts to Village with more problems.
This process of selection continues layer by layer.
It can be said that they went to great lengths to achieve this.
In a way, for someone who used to Anti-drug Hunter, he actually accomplished something significant by leveraging the power of Chimera Ant.
At least he didn't have that ability before.
When drug trafficking reaches the level of the NGL Autonomous Region, it truly can only be resolved by national-level forces.
"I want to go back to the Village, and Reina wants to go back to her mother. I—I will follow you."
Rukira made his decision immediately; he had already thought it through.
Based on his understanding of the Village, he knew that even if he Village, he could live a good life there, and the Village wouldn't look down on him.
Of course, he wouldn't despise his younger sister, but after experiencing so much, he couldn't just stay obediently in the Village and live a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
Upon hearing that Peggy knew so much information, the other Chimera Ant immediately swarmed around her and began asking questions.
Not all Chimera Ant awaken all their memories; most only have scattered fragments.
The upright Bison Chimeric Ant also raised its hand.
"I don't want to fight or kill either. Judging from this, I must have been an honest villager before."
"Then come to our Village. Our Village seems pretty good."
Rukira opportune moment.
With this person and his sister in the Village, there shouldn't be any worries about the Village's safety.
The Bison Chimeric Ant nodded; he indeed didn't remember much.
The goat and the tortoise also expressed their desire to stay in the NGL Federation, unwilling to engage in fighting.
Judging from their manner of speaking and appearance, these two were likely elderly people before they were eaten.
The NGL Federation itself is closed off, and having lived their entire lives, they have no way of connecting with the outside world, yet they deeply love their own homeland.
And they also decided to settle in Rukira's Village after reshaping their appearance.
Because their Village is gone.
Kevin nodded without objecting.
So four out of the nine people decided to go back.
The Koala took a swig from its gourd.
"I don't care, you can arrange it however you like."
He used to be an assassin, but now he wants to atone for his sins and do something meaningful.
"My Village is destroyed, and I don't want to stay here, so I'll just stay with you."
The Toad nodded and said, "The Village is gone, and I have no regrets at all."
Moreover, he regained much of his memory. Before he died, he was still a young man and had longed for the outside world. Even though information Blockade, he still knew that there was a world outside.
Peggy, who was originally Anti-drug Hunter, also gave up her drug-fighting activities.
He understood that even if he became slightly more human through reshaping, he would still be different from a human.
Unable to continue their anti-drug operations.
Moreover, his main dream is to eradicate the nationwide drug trafficking scourge in his hometown of NGL.
Now that you've succeeded, it's time to embrace a new body and a new identity, and live a new future.
Meruem, naturally accompanied him.
After some discussion, the decision was finalized by all parties.
The Airship headed towards the NGL Federation.
Right there on the Airship, Kevin began to rebuild them.
Traveling by Airship, they returned to the Boundary in relatively little time.
The border has been taken over.
They met up with Gowen, Pakunoda who were already waiting there.
There were also Kurapika and others who had previously Blockade the Boundary to clear out Chimera Ant.
Once they gathered together, the place instantly became lively.
Kevin is going to take a break. He's been busy and on edge for so long; it's time to relax.
Looking at the spoils of war in front of him.
It could be said that these spoils in front of him were his greatest gain after the end of this racial war.
Four hearts.
--
They came from the Royal Guards and the Ant King, respectively.
Even though they are all Chimeric Ant, the four hearts have very distinct shapes.
The heart of the Youpi is most similar to that of a human, but its color is darker.
Youpi's Heart is the largest among them, and its shape is quite different from that of a human heart; it is also dark red.
Neferpitou's Heart is slightly larger than that of the Youpi, and its color is pinker.
The last one came from the Ant King Heart.
It is strong and sturdy; you can feel its weight when you hold it in your hand, and it is also very resilient.
Interestingly, this heart is not very different from a human heart.
Although they are all hearts, Kevin can feel different rhythms in each one.
As his strength increased, he became able to perceive the characteristics of items that could be called "materials" in greater detail.
Without a doubt, each one is A-Rank material.
The problem is that finding suitable complementary materials is extremely difficult.
The materials brought back from the Dark Continent were not of many types, and more than half of them had already been used up, so it's not certain that we'll be able to find suitable ones.
Seeing top-quality materials but being unable to use them is honestly quite frustrating.
However, the characteristics they perceived did not seem to be strongly related to their Nen ability.
The heart of the Youpi felt more like that of the Ant Queen, and interestingly, even the Youpi's Heart gave him a similar feeling.
But perhaps it's closer to a transformation of itself.
The properties granted by Neferpitou's Heart have no connection to his Clone, but are closer to those of a cat.
Enhancing one's physical acuity? No, more detailed research is needed.
As for Meruem's heart.
To be honest, it boils down to one word.
Powerful.
Touch your heart, and what surges forth is pure power.
A-Rank materials are just like this, all ambiguous and unclear.
Unfortunately, several of the hearts could not be matched with the corresponding materials.
The only way to study this is by examining the distinct characteristics of the Royal Guards and the Ant King.
Physical characteristics and Nen ability are two different things.
The materials we obtained in the past all had the characteristics of their source.
Different plants and different organisms have different habitats, and different parts of their bodies affect their behavior differently, which allows us to infer the characteristics represented by their materials.
However, Chimera Ant are more inclined to resemble humans, and because of their different Nen ability, they manifest in different ways.
The heart is not strongly correlated with Nen ability.
Trouble.
Regardless, four A-Rank potions are definitely a great haul.
