Ch. 342Closing In

Wang Gao transformed Labyrinth City’s Iron Sand Sea into a home for genetically enhanced crab and fly species as the Human Reform League prepared to conquer Hunter Star. Enel’s Thunder God Legion jumped to the Thunder Mountain Range, where it arrived amid a violent conflict between V5’s surrender and resistance factions.

  • Wang Gao and Vegapunk transformed Zaza into the Three-eyed Mech-Crab and created the Void Elephant Fly, while Enel built an underground nest in the Iron Sand Sea.

Ch. 343Taking a Shortcut

Schmidt’s squad and the fighters around Kurapika and Chrollo were caught beneath the Human Reform League’s airships, whose suppression field sealed their Nen abilities. Chrollo used a stolen Pap ability to break free of the suppression and entered a dangerous state, while Uvogin and Nobunaga fled.

  • Schmidt discovered that his Space Gate would not open, then saw Human Reform League warships and Void Elephant Flies hovering above his squad.
  • Kurapika and the Twelve Earthly Branches faced Chrollo and the Phantom Troupe, but the Human Reform League’s arrival interrupted their fight and sealed everyone’s Nen abilities.
  • Chrollo used Reflection, Evil God's Sacrifice, and Selfless Gift to conceal himself and gain temporary access to a Pap ability.
  • Uvogin broke free of Kurapika’s chains and attacked him, but a substitute mirror from Wang Gao blocked the punch.
  • Nobunaga warned Uvogin to retreat, and the two ran in opposite directions as the suppression field suddenly stopped working.
  • Chrollo reappeared radiating a strange presence, and Hisoka watched him warily as Chrollo used the Pap ability he had obtained through a life-and-emotion-sacrificing contract.

Ch. 344The Essential Difference

Chrollo used Absolute Equal Exchange to help the Phantom Troupe fight the Human Reform League, but Enel captured them and stripped them of their Nen. As Enel prepared to send them to the Hell Division, unexpected guests appeared.

  • Chrollo used Endless Stone to protect the Phantom Troupe and disable spatial teleportation, while Nobunaga was fatally struck by the Void Elephant Fly and Uvogin and Shalnark failed to stop it.
  • Chrollo tried to use Equal Exchange to kill the Human Reform League members, but the price was insufficient, so he teleported the Phantom Troupe ten thousand kilometers north.
  • Enel used the Spatial Capture System to bring the Phantom Troupe back, trapped them in stationary bubbles, and implanted Controllers that stripped away their Nen.
  • Enel told Chrollo and the others that they would face judgment and torture, while Kurapika regained his resolve to pursue the last murderer.
  • As Enel prepared to send the Phantom Troupe to the Hell Division of the Imaginary New Continent, uninvited guests appeared around them.

Ch. 345Pap

Enel and the others encountered a group of Pap whose spatial and spiritual attacks threatened the Phantom Troupe, but Enel protected his companions and countered the creatures. After Enel blasted one Pap, its Deathly Nen transferred onto him.

  • Dozens of Pap appeared after the fighting and Chrollo’s use of their Nen ability drew attention, while their spatial fluctuations disrupted Enel’s Space Gate.
  • Enel stabilized the area with his Golden Trident and sent Chrollo and the Phantom Troupe through a Space Gate to Hell’s branch on the Imaginary New Continent.
  • The Pap attacked Kurapika, Cow Brother, Kansai, and Horse-faced Commander with spiritual force, so Enel shielded them in special bubbles.
  • The Pap trapped Enel and the others inside a mass of jelly filled with unstable Endless Stone, but Enel devoured the resulting explosive energy and escaped.
  • Enel attacked one Pap with a Positron stream, and Deathly Nen from the injured creature disappeared and transferred onto him.

Ch. 346Dishes

Enel devoured Papu’s possession attempt and used Soul Kitchen to turn the Papus’ souls into five dishes. After eating them, he underwent a slight evolution, while Kurapika, Cow Brother, and the others watched in stunned fascination.

  • Papu’s posthumous nen tried to possess Enel, but Enel swallowed and dismantled its Soul Body with his soul quantum system.
  • Enel announced that the Papus were special ingredients, then used Soul Kitchen to summon chefs who captured and prepared their souls.
  • Five chefs made dishes from the Papus, including Seven Emotions Six Desires Sorbet, Elixir of Bliss, Papu Pudding, Melancholy Rice, and Stir-fried Hundred Flavors Mushroom.
  • Enel ate the dishes and slightly evolved in body and soul, while Kurapika, Cow Brother, and the others watched and craved the food.

Ch. 347Settlement

Enel captured the Paps in the Thunder Mountain Range, revived the surrender faction’s dead, and gave the survivors choices for their future. He then created Thunder God Sky Island from floating mountains and sent Netero and the others there, where the freezing cold and thin air left most of them struggling to breathe.

  • Enel released the souls stored in a Soul Pearl, revived sixty-three members of the surrender faction, and sent the resistance faction’s gravely culpable souls to Hell.
  • Enel offered the surrender faction four paths, and Netero, Chopper, Kurapika, Cow Brother, and the others chose among the military, Skynet, staying in the range, or returning to the Human World.
  • Enel used electromagnetic waves to lift dozens of mountains and joined them into Thunder God Sky Island, then left its remaining work to Netero and the other settlers.
  • John guided Netero and the others aboard a Void Elephant Fly, which carried them through a Space Gate to Thunder God Sky Island.
  • Leorio and the others found the island bitterly cold and its air too thin, leaving everyone but Netero struggling to breathe.

Ch. 348Island and Chefs

Ch. 349A Stranger

After taking over Kain’s body, a transmigrator discovered that the New World contained the dangerous Human Reform League and awakened a Nen ability that could steal anything from those he killed. He traveled north with the Kakin team toward the World Tree while plotting to seize powerful abilities, unaware that Pariston was watching him.

  • The parasitic soul took over Kain’s body after he recovered from his injuries, and Pariston noticed his strange aura.

  • Kain spotted concealed vines and signaled his squad to advance, then used the vines to injure the curly-haired man and lure him away from the others.
  • Kain led the poisoned man to a Blood-sucking Bee hive, struck him, and sent him into the swarm, where he died.

  • Pariston suspected Kain had been possessed by an unknown demi-human and studied the route ahead for a strategic location.
  • Kain’s patrol squad entered a marshy lowland forest, where he lured Bakuho away and killed him with a microwave-based ability.
  • Kain returned and distracted Tomo and Dokuhebi before killing Tomo with a powerful fist and attacking Dokuhebi with Nen bullets and missiles.
  • Curly-haired Man severed Dokuhebi’s head, and Kain gained more Aura along with four Nen abilities from the three victims.

Ch. 352Scheming

Kain fought Pariston in the forest, but Pariston disabled Kain’s Nen ability and destroyed one of his Figurine Puppets.

Ch. 355New Plan

Wang Gao and Vegapunk analyzed Kain’s soul memes and concluded that the Ninja Star’s origins had been obscured, while the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura may have been artificial humans. Judging the Ninja Universe too dangerous for a direct invasion, Wang Gao planned a safer way in as the Human Reform League advanced through the New World and surrounded the stranded Kakin Team.

  • Dr. Darwin and Wang Gao identified Uchiha-derived genes in Kain’s soul as highly adaptable and compatible with other lifeforms.
