Chapter Summaries

Lucky used Divine Script to transform the surroundings into an arena, where Netero tested Biscuit in a sparring match. After the fight, the arena disappeared, and Gon and the others demanded to know why Netero was there.

• Lucky used Divine Script to reshape the area into a massive arena, impressing Biscuit with its applications.
• Netero asked Biscuit to show him her martial arts, and she transformed into her larger, true form before attacking him.
• Gon Freecss, Killua, and the others rushed to the arena and watched Netero overwhelm Biscuit in their sparring match.
• Netero ended the match after gauging Biscuit and remarked that it was a pity, while Biscuit said she could not break his Hundred-Type Guanyin but could withstand him.
• Lucky withdrew the Divine Script, restoring the surroundings, and Gon, Biscuit, Palm, and the others questioned Netero about why he was there.

Lucky joined Netero, Morel, and Knov’s operation against the Chimera Ant nest, but his expanding Divine Script fog obscured their view and alerted the Guards. He gave the Hunters special glasses to see through the fog, then left to pursue his own objective involving Shaiapouf.

• After comparing Biscuit from two worlds, Netero recognized the value of auxiliary training and asked Lucky to explain it, but Lucky had already left for NGL.
• Morel shrouded the area around the nest with smoke while Knov used Hide and Seek to remove Chimera Ants, and Netero dealt with those captured.
• Lucky spread a denser fog around the nest using Divine Script, which disrupted the Hunters’ observation and drew the attention of Catwoman and Shaiapouf.
• Shaiapouf divided himself into particles and went to investigate the fog, while Lucky sensed his approach and Morel found Lucky.
• Lucky gave Netero, Morel, and Knov glasses that let them see through the fog, then said he had his own objective and vanished.

Netero detected Shaiapouf’s scouting clone and warned Knov and Morel, prompting them to adjust their strategy. Lucky then captured several Pouf clones in a bottle, and Pouf realized Lucky might already know about his ability.

• Lucky sensed Pouf’s clones in the air currents and sucked several of them into a small glass bottle.
• Pouf noticed the captured clones and suspected that Lucky was familiar with his ability.

Lucky trapped a Pouf clone, marked it with Phoenix’s control ability, and hoped to use it to learn how Pouf turned humans into Chimera Ants. Neferpitou attacked Lucky, but he left without fighting seriously, leaving the Guards with even more reason to stay near the nest and protect the King’s birth.

• Lucky trapped Pouf’s clone in a glass bottle, severed its connection to Pouf’s main body, and placed a control mark on it before letting it leave.

• Pouf sent more clones to investigate the marked clone, unaware that Phoenix’s living ability could not be removed even by an Exorcist.
• Lucky said he looked forward to the King’s birth and departed using Apparition, leaving Neferpitou and Pouf troubled and less able to leave the nest.

Shaiapouf developed countermeasures against Lucky and changed the Chimera Ants’ tactics, while Lucky watched their preparations. After Biscuit noticed Lucky’s reaction in town, he vanished to give the Chimera Ants a lesson.

Lucky trapped the Chimera Ants inside the nest with Mist Nen Beasts while Netero’s group kept watch, slowing their growth and forcing them to fight for food.

• Lucky opened a passage to his world and allowed Gon Freecss, Killua, Biscuit, and the others to train in the Heavenly Arena for seven days.

Gon Freecss, Killua, and Biscuit arrived at a Nen-enhanced Heavenly Arena in another world and explored its powerful training facilities and Floor Master privileges. They encountered a much stronger Hisoka, while Eriko warned Biscuit not to participate in matches.

• Gon Freecss and the others rode a buttonless, Nen-wrapped elevator to the Heavenly Arena’s 1st Floor and saw a countdown on their hands.
• Eriko guided them through the arena, where Biscuit’s fans gathered and Eriko explained Biscuit’s reputation in this world.

After Eriko left, Biscuit said she would stop training Gon Freecss and the others herself, but explained that they could use the arena’s training facilities and healing services during their remaining seven days.

• Eriko left the group a contact number and explained that Lu Qi had given them an opportunity to make their own arrangements.
• After Eriko departed, Biscuit told Gon Freecss and the others that she would no longer train them herself because she needed to focus on her own training and learning.

Gon Freecss and his companions fought their way through the Heavenly Arena, where Knuckle, Shoot, and Palm struggled to pass the 100th Floor. Illumi suddenly appeared, removed a Nen Needle from Killua, and left Killua wondering whether his counterpart in this world carried one too.

• Gon Freecss and the others signed up for Heavenly Arena matches, and Killua registered under the name Killua Zoldyck despite already being a 200th Floor fighter.
• The group fought more than twenty matches, but Knuckle, Shoot, and Palm failed to pass the 100th Floor, and Shoot was badly injured by a Nen Ability user.
• Knuckle explained that fighters who stayed on the 100th Floor for over a year could enter the Basen Challenge, which could strengthen Nen and might grant a special Nen Beast.
• Illumi teleported into the group’s private room, greeted Killua, and pulled a Nen Needle from his forehead before evading the others’ attacks.
• Killua stopped Gon Freecss and the others from pursuing Illumi, realized the needle had made him flee from powerful enemies, and asked whether his counterpart in this world also had one.

Killua confronted Illumi about his control and learned that Illumi wanted to understand his connection to Lucky, while Gon explained that the group had come to train. After Illumi left, Biscuit arranged intensive training methods for the group, including accelerated sleep, and set up special meals to sustain their increased energy needs.

• Killua remembered Alluka and the secret of his ability to command Nanika, while Illumi questioned why Lucky treated Killua with such care.

• Biscuit introduced Fast Sleep Pills and Sandalwood Incense, letting Gon Freecss and the others recover eight hours' worth in half an hour.
• Biscuit gave the group a training schedule and explained that their new training support increased their hunger, so she arranged for a Gourmet Hunter to prepare Nen Cooking.

Teren served Gon Freecss and the others Nen Cuisine, which increased their Nen and left them eager to hear about their counterparts. He explained that this world’s Killua was in another world with Gon Freecss, conquering Greed Island, and began recounting how he and Killua had met.

• Teren prepared a table of Nen Cuisine, and Gon Freecss and the others ate every dish.

• The Queen Ant tried to calm the impatient Ant King, but he tore through the egg and was born ahead of schedule.

• Pouf and the Three Guards knelt before the Ant King, who killed a Chimera Ant examining the Queen Ant and another who tried to flatter him.
• The Ant King left with the Three Guards to find better food, while Zazan and the other Squadron Leaders tried to treat the badly injured Queen Ant.

• Netero, Knov, and Morel learned that the Ant King had been born early, and Netero decided to face him rather than retreat.
• The Ant King detected the hunters with his En and sprinted toward them, while Lucky left to investigate the Queen Ant.

Lucky infiltrated the Chimera Ant nest, killed the Queen Ant, and took her corpse for research. Outside, the newly born Meruem fought Netero and was overwhelmed by the Hundred-Type Guanyin as Lucky joined Morel and Knov.

• Lucky's mist swept through the nest, where some Chimera Ants fled and others stayed with the dying Queen Ant.

• Pouf urged Meruem to withdraw, but his warning distracted Meruem and left him open to Netero's attacks.
• Youpi transformed into a small giant and withstood Netero's Hundred Type more effectively, while Neferpitou attacked Netero's left hand.

• Pouf returned Neferpitou's severed arm, while Youpi transformed again, gaining scales that deflected the slashes.
• Neferpitou and Youpi joined Pouf in urging Meruem to stop the battle, as Netero decided to use Zero Hand against the rapidly improving King.

Netero used Zero Hand against Meruem but failed to defeat him, and Lucky saved Netero from Meruem’s counterattack. After Netero recovered with the Holy Grail, Meruem and the Three Guards escaped, while Netero chose to let Meruem grow before their next fight.

• Netero unleashed Zero Hand, leaving Meruem wounded but still able to fight.
• As Meruem charged at Netero, Lucky appeared and slapped him away, while the other Netero fought Neferpitou and Youpi.
