Since we can use [commands] to stop Nanika from coming out.

Then the problem becomes much easier to solve.

Qi Ya looked at Alluka in front of him with Kiy.

Alluka simply smiled.

The others stood up and took a slight step back.

Kiy opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word for a while.

Now everyone could see that Qi seemed very conflicted.

Kevin could clearly sense Killua's emotions, a mixture of various thoughts.

Fear, confusion, guilt—a mix of emotions swirled together.

Finally, Qi Meng gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind.

He suddenly turned around and looked at Illumi, who was standing behind him and staring at him.

"Um?"

Illumi puzzled.

Why are you suddenly looking at him?

"You want to control Nanika by controlling me, right?"

Kiy stared at Illumi and said bluntly.

When faced with Killua, Illumi had absolutely no intention of lying and nodded directly.

"Of course, we must master such abilities, so that we can lead the Zoldyck family to prosperity."

The butlers frowned slightly, their expressions becoming somewhat serious.

Kevin and Melusina burst out laughing.

Illumi's thoughts can be considered human nature, but they are the human nature of ordinary people.

For elite Nen user like them, in addition to these basic human emotions, there is also the need to suppress ambition and carefully consider the situation.

They already knew that Illumi was an unconventional person, and among the Zoldyck Family, he was one of the rule-breakers.

But they never expected the other party's ambition to be so arrogant, it could even be described as conceited.

"I concealed the rules precisely because I was worried about this; I've always been afraid of you."

Qi lowered his head slightly, his expression hidden in the shadows, and muttered to himself.

This fear did not subside after the needle was removed.

That's the psychological trauma left behind by being controlled from childhood to adulthood.

"I've already experienced battlefields like that."

Killua muttered to himself.

No matter how terrifying Illumi, can he be more terrifying than the Royal Guards, or more terrifying than the Ant King?

Could the pressure and crisis experienced during that kind of racial war be any less than the pressure brought by the Etroilites?

That's just your own mind playing tricks on you.

Now he is going to shatter this delusion.

As he spoke, Qi slightly raised his head, his expression becoming firm, his gaze fixed on Illumi, and he raised his hand and clenched it tightly.

"From now on, I will no longer be controlled by any of you. I will be myself."

As he spoke, his Fighting Spirit surged forth without restraint, aimed directly at Illumi.

He knew perfectly well that words alone would not be enough to make Illumi give up his mission.

Sensing Killua's fighting spirit, Illumi raised his hands, his fingers filled with Nen needle.

"It seems you're going to disobey your brother."

Although he had expected it, Illumi had no intention of letting go.

Kiy had to be under his "protection".

Alluka raised her fist and waved it, as if to encourage herself.

"Go for it, brother!"

"Um!"

Blue lightning instantly filled Killua's body.

A flash of lightning, and Qi vanished from his spot in an instant.

Illumi's pupils contracted slightly, because he had lost sight of Qi, and he instinctively jumped backward.

Then, as if sensing something, he suddenly turned his head, but Qi had already appeared behind him before he could react at all.

He reached out in a thrusting motion and lunged forward, striking Illumi's shoulder.

A burst of lightning erupted.

A surge of lightning entered Illumi's body, causing him to tremble instantly. His once smooth, flowing black hair stood on end and exploded amidst the electric light.

But at that moment, Illumi formed hand blades with both hands and slashed directly at Killua.

This was completely unexpected. He barely dodged the attack by dodging it and looked over after creating some distance.

That's when they realized something was wrong.

His paralysis is extremely powerful; even Neferpitou would be paralyzed for a moment.

Given his physical strength, Illumi, being human, was far from being able to match Neferpitou.

Without being paralyzed for a few seconds, it would be impossible to move.

However, Illumi then took action.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that several Nen needle were inserted into his body.

These Nen needle controlled Illumi's body and launched an attack.

However, the paralyzing effect of lightning is not so easy to resist, so Illumi's movements were slightly distorted and did not look smooth, but at least he was not unable to move due to paralysis.

You've grown up.

"Illumi said, his tone filled with obvious satisfaction."

By using his Nen needle control himself, he forced Kiy back, and the paralysis effect quickly wore off.

The Nen needle was flung out again.

This time, however, Gotoh and Canaria also became targets.

The two were completely unprepared for Illumi's sudden attack and barely managed to raise their weapons to try and defend themselves.

However, Gotoh was clearly more experienced and understood Illumi's personality, so she was prepared.

So they barely managed to avoid it.

But Canaria was not so simple. This attack took her by surprise, and as she raised her cane to block, the Nen needle were already embedded in her body.

Gotoh noticed this and, after dodging it, hurriedly tried to remove the Nen needle, but it was too late.

Although the Nen needle weren't inserted into the head, they could still exert some control over the body once inserted.

Canaria raised her cane and swung it at Gotoh, knocking him back. Then, with a leap, she arrived beside Illumi.

Illumi seemed to Kiy what Kita was planning to do and spoke up directly.

"If this Nen needle is forcibly removed, it will cause irreversible consequences for her. If you paralyze me, this Nen needle will also cause irreversible consequences for her."

Illumi's words were unmistakably threatening.

At this moment, although Canaria couldn't control his body, his mind wasn't controlled and he could still speak.

I spoke without hesitation.

"Don't worry about me, Young Master Qi, please win the victory."

Canaria is now filled with remorse; she never imagined that she, who should have been helping Killua, would become a burden instead.

If her body hadn't been controlled, she would have committed suicide on the spot.

However, Illumi controlled Canaria as she charged towards Killua, wielding her cane.

The attack was powerful, but it clearly failed to hit Qi.

However, Qi had no way to attack and could only dodge left and right.

Several more Nen needle flew over again.

Killua can only dodge.

In an instant, the advantage turned into a disadvantage.

"Kill me, Young Master Kiy."

That was all Canaria could shout.

However, after uttering those words, she silently shut her mouth again.

This is incorrect.

Qi had sworn before that he would never kill innocent people again.

The consequences of her actions will be far more devastating than her current behavior.

"All we needed to do was eliminate her to regain the upper hand. She was just a butler, a servant of the Zoldyck family."

Illumi said in a flat voice.

"With a personality like yours, how can you become the future head of the Zoldyck Family? You're nothing like an assassin. Assassins don't need friends, nor do they need extra emotions."

As he spoke, Illumi even snapped his fingers.

As if receiving a signal, Hisoka, who was in the distance, launched an attack on Gon without hesitation.

This was an attempt to distract Qi, but Qi remained focused on the battle in front of him and paid no attention to Gon.

Hisoka may be very strong, but Gon is definitely not an enemy that Hisoka can defeat in a short time.

Killua is very confident about this.

"I've said it before, I'm not like you. I will never become a so-called assassin again, nor will I kill innocent people."

Especially this time, after experiencing the chaos of the Chimeric Ant, he truly saw the human soul.

And the Koala's presence allowed him to see even more.

That person was once an assassin, but has now completely transformed and is attempting to atone for their sins.

While he wouldn't feel the same level of guilt as the other person, he also didn't want to continue committing innocent killings.

The blue lightning on his body intensified.

Looking at Canaria in front of him, he said softly, "I'm sorry."

Upon hearing this, Canaria seemed to sense something and a smile appeared on her face.

Tears streamed down my face.

While Kiy's ability to kill her greatly alleviated her guilt, Kiy's problematic mindset stemming from the killing severely exacerbated her guilt.

This conflicting feeling brought her to the brink of emotional collapse.

A flash of blue lightning.

Blood splattered.

Canaria's left arm was severed, and the Nen needle inserted in it fell to the ground along with the severed arm.

But for this very reason, Canaria instantly broke free of control, and he immediately understood Qi's actions.

Without even picking up the severed arm, he jumped directly into the distance.

After jumping away, Gotoh immediately stepped in and blocked Canaria's path.

Although he couldn't directly participate in the battle, Canaria had already left the battlefield, so he was able to take action immediately.

Just then, the severed arm was thrown over.

Kiy even had the leisure to pick it up.

And it didn't hinder his movements; in a flash of lightning, he appeared behind Illumi.

Thunderbolt!

The blue lightning bolt struck out, and this time it was no small matter.

A torrent of lightning surged into Illumi's body. Even with the Nen needle controlling him, he could no longer control his body and collapsed to his knees.

His entire body was charred and smoking from the electric shock.

And then Qi appeared beside him without hesitation. With a swift chop, he severed both of Illumi's arms.

Kiy stopped abruptly.

He slowly exhaled, the lightning faded from his body, and his slightly trembling arms could still be seen.

This wasn't because he used too much force, but because of his current mood.

Illumi.

It doesn't seem that strong.

Although he knew he had the upper hand, for Illumi, such a battleground was extremely unsuitable.

After all, Illumi's abilities can only be maximized in crowded places.

However, Killua was able to complete the battle with overwhelming force; in crowded areas, it only required a little more effort.

He pulled a vial from his waist and tossed it to Illumi.

Kiy then said, "You certainly won't give up because of this, but I'm warning you, if you continue to try to control me, then next time, I won't consider you family anymore."

In the Zoldyck Family tradition, fratricide is forbidden.

The term "mutual destruction" here refers to killing or carrying out a devastating attack.

With the help of the medicine, Illumi was not crippled, and his arm was easily reattached, so it was just a friendly sparring match.

However, this is subject to applicable terms and conditions.

After all, if someone deliberately provokes a member of the family, then this rule can naturally be relaxed accordingly.

Especially now that Qi has clearly defeated Illumi and has made threats.

"This is [a deal]."

Simply put, if Illumi wants to do anything else, he only has one chance.

If he succeeds, everything will be fine; if he fails, he will lose his status as a family member in Kiy's eyes.

After that, Qi was no longer bound by the Zoldyck family rules in whatever he did.

Within the family.

[Trading] is the most basic one.

On the other side, Hisoka also stopped fighting.

To be honest, he still wanted to continue fighting with Gon, but he wasn't really in the mood right now.

The previous intimidation, along with Kevin and Melusina's presence, made him fight hesitantly.

Even though he really wanted to have a match with Gon now, he no longer had the desire.

But without a doubt, Gon has become a ripe apple.

Killua approached Canaria and pulled out a Repair Potion from his waist, handing it to her.

"Feel sorry."

Canaria quickly shook her head at Killua's apology.

"It was I who dragged Young Master Kiy down."

Killua simply smiled, said nothing, and walked over to Alluka's side. Alluka waved happily and said...

"Brother, you're amazing!"

"Haha, I'm pretty strong, right!"

The two of them laughed heartily.

As for Illumi...

Nobody cares.

His overall reputation within the Zoldyck Family is truly at its lowest.

"Nanika."

Killua Shouts.

Nanika appeared immediately.

"Aye~"

"From now on, you are not allowed to listen to other people's [wishes]."

"Yes, Kiy."

Upon hearing the accurate answer, Killua truly broke down in tears this time, hugging the other person and repeatedly stroking their head.

"Nanika likes oddities!"

I also like Nanika.

Kevin listened clearly from the side, his eyes slightly narrowed as he carefully sensed what was happening.

Even from that dark form, one could still clearly sense that inhuman aura.

But the emotions that welled up within were so obvious, many times more so than those of a normal person, and extremely pure.

Sure enough, it's yet another life form influenced and altered by humans and the environment.

Furthermore, it is strongly associated with desire, and it happens to parasitize Alluka, a very simple being.

This led to Nanika becoming very naive and having almost no intention of causing harm.

This made Kevin breathe a sigh of relief.

The dangerous creature suddenly became harmless due to an unexpected turn of events.

After doing all this, Killua finally spoke.

"Afterwards, I'll take Nanika on a trip, and Canaria can come along."

He finished speaking without waiting for their rebuttal.

Kiy then said directly, "Nanika, send them back."

Yes~

Gotoh, Zizor, Amayne, and Illumi vanished from their spot in an instant.

This even includes Hisoka.

However, it's clear that Hisoka was sent to his own home.

This time, Kevin felt it even more clearly.

It turns out that even such vague wishes can receive precise responses.

It's not about giving a precise response with words, but rather the emotions conveyed in those words.
