Destroying X the Misaligned Enemy

Inside the room.

A silence fell over the crowd.

The main reason was that they really didn't expect that the Nen Beast, which was originally controlled by the Eleventh Prince, would stop responding after sensing Little Wang's presence.

Because under normal circumstances, creatures like Nen Beast do not possess any intelligence, and therefore do not experience fear.

Because its existence is entirely the property of its owner, even if it appears to be intelligent, it is essentially nothing more than having autonomy.

The only possibility that it cannot be used is because its Nen Beast has some kind of restriction.

This is the most likely possibility.

But now the problem is obvious: the Eleventh Prince's Nen Beast, or rather, the Nen Beast that came from the Succession War, does not simply possess autonomy.

It's a genuine fear of the existence of a living being.

They might truly be autonomous beings.

"You should hide."

Kevin thought for a moment, then patted Little Wang on the head.

Little Wang didn't quite understand, but he nodded anyway and shrank back inside.

With Little Wang's disappearance, the eerie, chilling aura also vanished.

"It works again."

As the Eleventh Prince spoke, he reached out and patted the wall, and the tunnel reappeared.

"This time, just hold it firmly like that, no, just walk right in."

Upon hearing Kevin's words, the Eleventh Prince immediately understood, opened the tunnel door, and sat down by the door.

Little Wang then came out again.

"Tone it down a bit. Do you hunt like this too?"

Seeing that Little Wang was still behaving the same way, Kevin punched him on the head and cursed.

Little Wang's wisdom is essentially no different from that of ordinary people, especially after frequently interacting with Kevin and the others, it has become increasingly human.

He shook his head helplessly and tried to suppress his aura.

Under various conditions, the Eleventh Prince's Nen Beast was fixed in that location.

"Go, go there, and then eat that Buddha statue."

Little Wang shook his head and swam into the tunnel.

The Eleventh Prince's face turned pale, not from fear of Little Wang's presence, but because she was forcibly controlling her thoughts.

The so-called tunnel is actually the body of her Nen Beast.

It's like letting Little Wang travel inside its body.

They quickly arrived at the hidden room, whereupon some kind of restriction was instantly triggered.

Neither the Eleventh Prince's Nen Beast nor the Butterfly were too small or belonged to the same sequence, so they were not triggered.

But a massive entity like Little Wang seemed to trigger something the moment it entered.

However, when the surrounding black mist emerged, Little Wang's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath.

The dense, black, arm-like Resentment had barely appeared when it was inexplicably sucked in and turned into black mist, flowing into Little Wang's mouth.

It's meaningless.

What is the nemesis of all Resentment and a deadly attack on other life forms is nothing more than food walking into a trap for Little Wang.

With that sudden inhale, the surrounding Resentment black aura was reduced by more than half in an instant, and then disappeared instantly in a way that could be seen with the naked eye.

Little Wang didn't hesitate either; he bit the Buddha statue in one bite and swallowed it.

It melts in your mouth.

With the disappearance of the Buddha statue, the room seemed unchanged, yet it also seemed completely transformed.

Little Wang acted as if nothing had happened. He looked around a couple of times, and after confirming that there was nothing there, he turned around and swam back.

On the other side, everyone watched as Little Wang swam back.

A human-like satisfaction appeared on the snake's face.

"It's delicious!"

Melusina translated for them.

The pent-up Resentment after the deaths of millions of people gave Little Wang a great sense of satisfaction.

Kevin looked at Little Wang, glanced around, and asked curiously, "With so much Resentment, why aren't you in a hurry to rest this time?"

Melusina can answer that.

"Last time he ate too much at once, and with all the food he had accumulated before, he had just reached a critical point and needed to rest, digest, and grow."

"After digesting and growing for a while, I did eat a lot this time, but I haven't reached a critical point yet."

Simply put, the Resentment of these millions of people is excessive in quantity but lacks quality.

The Ant King is like a top chef, creating a menu specially tailored just for you.

This time, the Buddha statues are like paying to eat at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

After eating the Buddha statue, Little Wang seemed to lose interest and hid back inside Melusina's body.

"That's it??"

Kadzuo muttered to himself in disbelief.

"Of course, everything has its counter, and that's how it is in the world of Nen ability."

Even the most powerful Nen ability become incredibly easy to counter once they encounter an ability that counters them.

"Go back now. If you stay here any longer, you'll draw too much attention. Your fathers are probably getting nervous by now."

The two thought about it and agreed, so they quickly went back through the tunnel.

On the way back, he was frantically thinking about what he would encounter next and how to respond.

"The absence of the Buddha statue shouldn't be considered a complete destruction of the Succession Ceremony, right?"

Biscuit asked.

Kevin nodded.

"The Succession Ceremony can certainly continue, but ultimately, the impact will not be able to affect those on the third floor and below."

The main function of the entire Meditation Ritual Buddha is to limit the scope of the Succession War, but it is also responsible for concentrating the lives sacrificed in this Succession Ceremony within that scope.

At the moment the victor is chosen, this thing will likely unleash a torrent of Resentment, like a tsunami, to engulf the two hundred thousand people and sacrifice them.

But now that this core is gone, this function is gone too.

"The victor should simply become a little stronger and stabilize the Nen Beast."

"In any case, now that the core issue has been resolved, things become much simpler."

After saying that, Kevin looked at Kurapika and the other two. "You can tell this news to the Ninth Prince now, but be discreet."

The two nodded.

In the secret room shortly afterward.

The King of the Kakin Empire stood in the secret chamber, looking at the Buddha statue in the center, which had vanished into thin air.

Looking at that empty space.

His expression was colder than ever before.

His intense anger completely affected his Nen Aura, to the point that even the royal steward accompanying him hunched over.

Now tell me, where did our national treasure go?

The King asked in a deep voice.

"I just retrieved all the surveillance footage from the surrounding area, including the patrol personnel and the defenses we've set up."

"The problem is that none of them have been triggered; the enemy may have simply arrived here directly."

The King knew, of course, that he was merely venting his anger.

He naturally understood that the fact that the enemy was able to take the Buddha statue so quietly, and even succeed in attacking it, was enough to demonstrate the enemy's strength.

The core defense mechanism of the entire Succession Ceremony is actually the Buddha statue itself, since the Resentment it exudes comes from the sacrifices of one person after another.

Their souls or Resentment are stored and taken away; these millions of lives are the means of attack.

Anyone who attempts to escape or defy it will be dragged down by the endless hand of Resentment.

Based on the surrounding traces and what I had just sensed, the Buddha statue had indeed launched an attack.

However, it was merely an attack.

Although the King was furious, he also understood that he had suffered a major setback this time.

Because the other party forcefully broke through the Buddha statue and forcibly took it away, it seems they not only took it away but also damaged it.

The attack, formed by Resentment, failed to unleash even the slightest bit of Nen Aura.

This demonstrates that the opponent's Nen ability was highly targeted.

"As expected of V5?"

The King asked.

The royal butler beside him lowered his head and muttered something.

"Possibly."

The main issue is that it's hard to say for sure; it's unlikely that V5 did it.

Apart from these large countries, no one else can produce something like this.

First of all, the Nen ability specifically developed to counter Resentment.

This refers to Exorcist in the conventional sense.

Moreover, they are targeted Exorcist.

Nen user with this ability are extremely valuable everywhere, even in the Kakin Empire, they are people who deserve to be treated with respect.

As for the Buddha statues of the Kakin Empire, even Exorcist could perish there if one is not careful; it is a gamble.

Therefore, the Exorcist must be trained independently, and their abilities must be of a sufficiently high standard.

Then the other party's value will increase again.

In this situation, even the Hunter Association simply cannot afford to pay such a price, especially when it's a gamble.

Only a major power has the capability to cultivate such specialized talents and accomplish this quietly.

In this situation, there would also need to be a Nen user of spatial teleportation.

The construction here was extremely well-hidden, and everyone who built it and knew about it was killed, except for the King himself and the royal steward standing beside him.

There is no possibility of betrayal between the two of them.

Therefore, the enemy, Nen user of spatial teleportation, must be sufficiently powerful.

Because a normal Nen user with this ability must have either seen or been to the place before they can open the door.

"This time, I will remember it well."

The King clenched his fist tightly, but that was all he could say.

In his mind, this attack was very likely a warning to them for their previous arrogance.

In his view, this is very much in line with the behavior of a major power.

V5 has dominated the world for centuries, and their arrogance is beyond question.

Under these circumstances, how dare your Kakin Empire challenge their authority and resort to threats to do such a thing?

Even if your Kakin Empire is powerful enough to match the strength of their individual members, it is still too unruly and shows too little respect for them.

In this situation, although they agreed to the actions of the Kakin Empire, they reluctantly included them in their own camp.

But we will absolutely not allow the Kakin Empire to swagger around and live its life without paying any price.

This act directly disrupted the most important inheritance Succession Ceremony of the Kakin Empire. It wasn't completely destroyed, but the most crucial core was ruined.

The Succession Ceremony can still be performed, but its intensity is unknown.

This behavior is very much like the condescending warnings issued by V5.

"I'm no longer capable, so let my descendants teach them a lesson. I will remember this humiliation forever."

The King muttered to himself and left.

Cancellation of the Succession Ceremony is simply impossible.

Once the Succession Ceremony begins, all members of the royal family are involved; there is no possibility of cancellation, only a final decision.

"If things continue this way, this news will surely reach the ears of all the Prince, and Prince will certainly try to escape."

This is nothing new; it has happened in every Succession War, and every time Prince tries to escape.

Not everyone is willing to fight each other for the throne. Many Prince never even dared to dream of it from the start.

They were living sacrifices, so naturally they wanted to escape.

"Hehe, a true king never gives up on the process of strengthening himself."

Every Prince's death contributes to the victor's triumph.

The death of each Prince makes the outcome even more powerful.

Prince rarely share affection; they are born competitors.

Therefore, to become powerful, one must be ruthless and consider issues from the perspective of the nation.

As long as they are still in the Succession Ceremony, they should be killed and turned into food for the final victor.

Even amidst this atmosphere of anxiety and unease, nothing seemed to change.

"Interesting. There aren't even basic checks and patrols? Are they just going to suffer in silence?"

After receiving the news from Kurapika and the others, Kevin lay back in his chair and muttered to himself.

The people around were a little puzzled by this situation.

After all, they destroyed the most important Succession War Succession Ceremony, which is undoubtedly the core of the Kakin Empire.

After a moment's thought, Biscuit found a possibility.

"Perhaps he thinks V5 did it, and even if he's angry, it's pointless, after all, this King is a calm and wise King."

Upon hearing Biscuit's words, everyone thought about it and realized it was indeed possible.

"Then let V5 take the blame for us."

The reason Kevin didn't expect this was mainly because he had absolutely no interest in international relations.

Logically speaking, this is impossible.

But the reason they are willing to care about so-called international relations is because they want to be involved in them, or rather, the countries they care about are involved in them.

Unfortunately, there was no country in this world that Kevin cared about; he had no feelings for any of the countries in the world.

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that the existence of an organization like the Hunter Association is superior to that of a so-called nation.

Meanwhile, at this time, Pairo...

The message is being conveyed to the Ninth Prince, who is currently participating in the Succession War Succession Ceremony, through visual modifications.

From Pairo's observation, the Ninth Prince seemed to be preparing something big. It was best to inform him of this beforehand.

At this moment, the Ninth Prince frowned slightly after hearing the news from Pairo.

These mysterious beings have truly accomplished something significant.
