Black Mud Convergence X Cutting-Edge Weapons

"Fool, you think you can use us to threaten Kevin just because you've got us under your control."

Despite being under control, Biscuit remained relaxed and made a sarcastic remark.

Although they were caught off guard, they were brought under control.

However, their minds were not controlled; only their bodies were forcibly controlled.

Moreover, this feeling of forced control is not involuntary, but rather a forced constraint.

Therefore, to avoid any problems, Biscuit and the others entered a state of absolute control, completely refusing to use their Nen ability.

In the Dark Continent, there are all sorts of strange and wonderful abilities.

They had long since developed a set of postures for dealing with various problems.

Their unique skill lies in protecting their internal body, concentrating all their condensed energy within their body and storing it under their skin.

It can protect its vulnerable internal structure while only causing superficial injuries, and prevent its power from being controlled by special abilities.

In this situation, Pariston was using them purely as human shields.

Or they can only rely on their hand-to-hand combat abilities.

Although their hand-to-hand combat skills are not bad either.

Pariston's goal was to use them as a deterrent should Kevin dare to act.

How were you controlled?

Kevin's circle encompassed the entire city, so he was naturally aware of Biscuit and the others' battle.

They were separated after Kevin was pulled into the space.

But their strength is undeniable; even the top Nen user enhanced by the Undying disease wouldn't be a match for them.

The medicine had already been prepared. Once the medicine was taken, it would be impossible to parasitize them through mental intrusion for a short period of time.

Therefore, Pariston used forceful means to forcibly control the body's Manipulation Type abilities.

Just as we cannot resist spiritual parasites, the forces that control our bodies are on the same level as us.

Biscuit said this, passing the information to Kevin.

On the surface, it appears that they are being controlled by the shadows beneath them.

But that's not actually the case at all.

This is just an appearance.

Pariston's Nen ability has always been outwardly manifested as some kind of power related to shadows.

But for someone like that, it's just a disguise.

Pariston's strength is definitely not greater than theirs.

However, with the blessing of Undying disease, Pariston's strength should have reached the Knight-level, in addition to the matching conditions and his self-sacrifice.

The entire city should be transformed into a hidden Succession Ceremony.

Moreover, so many Nen user have been parasitized.

With the combination of various Nen ability, it is entirely possible to achieve the level of deception.

Therefore, even though their strength is still essentially at the Knight-level, they are now being forcibly controlled and are finding it difficult to break free.

"What will you do? Choose to save them? Or continue protecting that guy you don't actually want to protect, and who you'll inevitably kill later anyway?"

Pariston asked from the rooftop.

This is an easy choice to make.

Or rather, there is only one choice.

For Kevin...

However, Kevin simply looked at him calmly, unaffected by the seemingly dire situation.

"In this world, it is very difficult to be a good person and to carry out one's good intentions."

"To refuse to compromise your principles and repeatedly cross your own bottom line means you must be strong enough, comprehensive enough, stronger than all those with malicious intent, and capable of handling all kinds of severe situations, do you understand?"

Kevin spoke quietly.

Before Pariston could react, he waved his hand.

Several Syringe transformed into mosquito-like flying machines suddenly shot out.

It was as fast as lightning, gone in the blink of an eye.

It pierced everyone instantly.

Liquid injection.

They instantly slipped out of control.

Biscuit, upon landing, did not immediately escape the attack range, but instead rubbed her wrists and neck.

Then, filled with rage, his body swelled up, and he slammed his fist into the ground behind him.

"Boom!"

Filled with rage, the exaggerated blow caused the surrounding ground to collapse.

This is not just a simple attack.

A shadow was hit hard, then boiled and bubbled like muddy water before finally dissipating.

"Even after leaving the Dark Continent, I can still be controlled. I've had enough."

Biscuit was a little angry, but she was angry at herself.

They had experienced this kind of body control more than once in the Dark Continent.

Even in the Giant Beast Kingdom, they sometimes have their bodies controlled by strange creatures.

They were already very familiar with all sorts of solutions.

However, none of these solutions were available to them on their own.

Therefore, they always explore in small teams.

The most feared thing on the Dark Continent is mental control, which is extremely difficult to break free from and can even be subtle and insidious.

Sometimes, once someone is controlled, they may truly only be waiting for death, and even if they are rescued, they will suffer indelible damage.

This is their top priority to avoid, so various mental protection and mental enhancement drugs have always been the highest priority.

The situation where the body is forcibly controlled is actually the easiest to resolve.

In this situation, Kevin has at least three different types of medicine.

Simply drinking it will release the body from the state of being controlled.

The problem is that medications all have a limited duration of effect.

The body will not be under control for the duration of the drug's effect, but there's no such thing as guarding against a thief for a thousand days.

Each time, my body was controlled, and others had to come to my rescue.

Therefore, everyone carries a spare.

This time, they were separated, and Kevin suddenly disappeared, disrupting their plans and formation.

There is an even more important reason.

Being constantly on guard in the Dark Continent is exhausting.

Upon returning to human society, their immense power and relaxed environment made them somewhat complacent.

They are inherently capable of letting their guard down.

After all, their strength is undeniable.

However, they encountered a problem that would be troublesome even on the Dark Continent.

Just then, Gon and Kiy, who had been hiding in the shadows and had just arrived, breathed a sigh of relief as they were looking for an opportunity.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Just moments before he was about to be controlled, Qi reacted with Lightning Speed and dodged the attack.

Then, carrying the medicine, they also saved Gon.

At that point, he was unable to save the others, because they had already been dragged into the shadows the moment they were controlled.

When they arrived, they found Kevin there, and the problem was naturally solved.

Even without Kevin, the two of them could save the others with the medicine they had.

There's no other way.

Pariston muttered to himself.

He could wait no longer; the opportunity would be fleeting, and he had already witnessed Kevin's prowess.

We have to use our last trump card.

His entire body dissolved, turning into a lump of black mud.

Large numbers of the undead began to gather, frantically converging around Pariston.

Besides these zombies, the shadows on the ground were also converging on him.

The surrounding city decayed in the shadows, as if death were spreading within it.

Various buildings began to collapse.

In just a moment, vast amounts of ruins appeared around the city.

The rumbling sound was incessant.

The corpses and shadows began to converge, becoming unstoppable.

The energy level gathered at the center is extremely powerful.

Kevin frowned and waved his hand.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately retreated.

The gesture is simple; let him handle it.

Everyone immediately retreated.

A bolt of lightning flashed, Beyond was also pulled away.

And that convergence center.

A gigantic monster formed from corpses was born.

Look at this monster.

Kevin's last question was answered.

How did the giant battle mark in the Machine Lifeform home come about?

The Undying disease arises from the mass death of a single race.

It is something that arises alongside death.

Such an Undying disease should also have a mechanism to deal with powerful life forms.

The more people die, the more parasites there are, and the cycle continues.

When these forces come together.

It is the moment when the Undying disease is revealed to reality, and we are confronted with a single, powerful life form.

Kevin can interrupt.

But after thinking about it, I stopped.

These combined forces must all be infected by those Undying disease.

Not only the corpses, but even the shadowy consciousnesses were converging.

Within Kevin's exaggerated circle spanning hundreds of kilometers, all the infected individuals he had marked were converging.

This is a good opportunity to resolve the issue once and for all.

"Why hasn't he made a move yet?" This question arose in the distant tactical command post.

"A military officer asked angrily, slamming his fist on the table in front of him."

The large screen in front of them was showing the scene of the destruction taking place in the city center from various angles.

A colossal, terrifying creation is gathering.

"Hey, Netero, make him make a move! Are we just going to stand by and watch?"

An official standing nearby, who was simply there to oversee the overall situation, couldn't help but shout urgently.

These top-level officials certainly know a lot.

They were also aware of the terror of the creatures on the Dark Continent.

The gathering of these monsters will undoubtedly give birth to a terrifying being capable of destroying human society.

Therefore, the best opportunity to interrupt is when they converge.

This is obvious to anyone with eyes to see.

But Kevin just stood there, completely still.

"He has his own ideas. Since you've entrusted him with both rights and obligations, you should trust him."

"Netero said to himself."

To be honest, just looking at the screen, Netero felt a deep sense of threat; it was a terrifying presence that nothing he had ever seen before could compare to.

Because what it gathered was not just a simple Undying disease, but also a deep Resentment.

It was the Resentment born from the parasitism that arose from the deaths of countless humans.

A unique product of humankind.

Why is it that dangerous things always seem to integrate so well with humans?

Even Netero felt a little helpless when he thought of the Chimeric Ant.

No matter how horrific the disaster, it can bring together certain human characteristics, making humanity even more dangerous.

Humans really know how to use aid to their enemies.

Seeing that Netero remained unmoved.

The general gritted his teeth and stared intently at the screen.

That eerie, almost primal aura could be felt even through the screen.

He's not some useless person who sits in the office all day and only knows how to give orders.

He fought his way up from the front lines step by step.

The feeling of youth struggling to survive on the battlefield, the premonition of danger frantically alarming him, piercing his nerves.

Absolute terror.

"Fire! Launch those tactical weapons! This city is beyond saving anyway!"

There are hardly any living people left in this city.

It turned into a pure battlefield.

"But, the members of the Capture Squad— "

The officer who was given the order couldn't help but say, after all, Kevin and the others were still in the city.

"Then use the Core Explosive Missile! Use that thing!"

The general hasn't completely lost his mind.

"But that's the latest experimental weapon; we've only test-fired three of them. Essentially—"

"Do as I command!"

Upon hearing this order, the officer had no choice but to pass it on.

Netero did not stop it.

The so-called Core Explosive Missile is the most advanced deterrent weapon in human society at present.

It abandoned the wide-area killing effects of radiation, viruses, and sound waves.

Even if it is launched, it will not affect a large number of people and subject them to international public opinion.

However, it has a higher energy level and is precisely guided, so it can hit the target almost 100% of the time after launch, without being affected by other methods.

It is fast, highly accurate, and has a large energy level.

The core explosion's destructive power is currently the most exaggerated.

The purpose of this deterrence is naturally to target high-ranking officials.

Essentially, the purpose of those previous deterrent weapons was the same: to use their exaggerated power to leave the top echelons of humanity with no way to avoid being harmed.

Essentially, widespread destructive power serves this purpose.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be called a deterrent weapon.

Essentially, the deterrent is directed at the decision-makers.

However, with the development of technology, many people can hide in specially designed buildings to avoid more dangers.

That's why this kind of weapon was developed.

There is currently no way to circumvent this.

Unless it's a special Nen ability.

Once this kind of Nen ability appears, it is inherently difficult for others to use it.

Nen ability is something like that.

Powerful abilities tend to fall into the hands of formidable individuals.

In the city.

Kevin waited quietly.

Suddenly realizing something, I looked up at the sky.

A missile flew over at extremely high speed.

Kevin squinted slightly.

Sharp.

He felt this must be the most advanced weapon, because he vaguely sensed a hint of danger.

Even if it was only a tiny bit.

But that's already very impressive.

She raised her hand, revealing a transparent barrier resembling scales, which enveloped her.

"Boom!"

The missile hit its target.

The energy level explosion unleashed a powerful gust of wind that swept outwards, scattering sand and gravel.

It blasted out a black sphere that looked like Black Hole.

The massive, converged body abruptly created a circular gap, which was then filled by the black sphere.

Then the black mud enveloped it and swallowed it whole.

The hole that was blasted open was quickly filled in.

The corpse and the creature shrouded in black mud were completely unaffected.

"The energy level is sufficient, but the diffusion range is not wide enough, what a pity."

The reason he was waiting here was not only to capture them all at once.

It's mostly something you can see.

This is, after all, an aggregate of Undying disease, and the characteristic of Undying disease is an extremely exaggerated healing ability.

The characteristic of a corpse that never dies.

This aggregate of matter even included corpses.

Therefore, the Undying disease after death would naturally possess these characteristics.

How could it be so easily destroyed?

To kill this behemoth, a complete, instantaneous attack that crushes all its parts into Ash would be required.

"With some further development and firing a few more, it shouldn't be a problem."

If this monster doesn't move.

Meanwhile, in the command post some distance away...

The command post, hidden underground, was completely silent.

Some people had despair in their eyes.

They knew perfectly well just how outrageous this latest and most advanced weapon was.

But even this didn't achieve the desired result.

Such an energy level is something that humans absolutely cannot achieve.

Even the Ant King, once hit, will vanish in an instant, leaving not even ashes.

Then they saw it on the screen.

Kevin turned his head to look in the direction of a certain camera.

He raised his middle finger.

I made a mouth shape.

Don't do anything unnecessary.

I don't know why.

This relaxed attitude eased the originally somber atmosphere in the room considerably.

"Is he really up to the task, Chairman Netero?"

The top official, who had already shown some nervousness, asked.

Netero just chuckled.

Is there any other way?

"Phew, you're right."
