The Sun-Earring Boy Priest smiled gently; his silver hair, like a cascading river, shimmered in the moonlight.

He reached out to stop Kastro from getting up, then slowly and deliberately walked towards Hisoka. He took one step over the scattered bricks and stones, two steps leaped over the broken stone wall, and three steps stood in the courtyard. He walked towards Xisuo with unhurried and calm expression... He looked like an ordinary Priest, no different from any other Sun-Earring Boy, but...

The serene and composed aura emanating from him, projected through a beam of light from the Champion Owl, reached the palace of the One King of the Kakin Empire. There, the old brigade commander Grant and Benjamin's group of private soldiers, Hui Guo Rou, involuntarily narrowed their eyes, their fists clenching uncontrollably, as if facing a formidable enemy!

"Does not practicing mean one disdains practicing?"

"Or is it that, Roy Zoldyck, as Guzman said, just by standing there, everyone's eyes are involuntarily drawn to him?"

Quiet is the palace at this moment.

Grant glanced coldly at Guzman. The green-haired Sun-Earring Boy's eerie eyes were hidden by his bangs, and he was staring intently at Roy on the screen, making it impossible to discern his expression.

In that instant, he seemed to recall the day Roy stabbed him through the heart in Meteor City, the pain almost contorting him, and two abnormal flushes silently creeping up his cheeks!

"Tap... tap..." The faint sound of fingers tapping the armrest emanated from the throne... Benjamin; Hui Guo Rou, behind him crouched a strange, fly-like Nen Beast with many compound eyes. These Nen Beast darted about, all aimed at Roy on the screen. Its mouth revealed two rows of chilling, sharp fangs, snapping shut with a sinister laugh... "Road to Road..." Meteor City, Pale Church,

It was late at night, and the moon had climbed high in the sky, generously showering down its Moonlight...

Footsteps sounded, like treading on people's heartstrings. Under the cover of night, the many people who were spying on the garbage heap, in the dark corners, and behind the swaying shadows of trees all swallowed hard, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand.

"Priest..."

"The Priest who made a name for himself by killing Ilya, Bolton, Guzman..."

"Priest who appears to Faith the sun..."

"In the end... it still came out..."

Eyes converge

Chrollo, Pakunoda, Uvogin, and Nobunaga eagerly awaited their arrival.

Just across the street, [False High-Minded] Belus adjusted the viewing distance of his binoculars, not wanting to miss a single detail as the barrel spun... In the courtyard,

A silver figure and a red one followed Roy, bathed in Moonlight, as he walked slowly and steadily. The distance between him and Hisoka visibly closed. "Hehehe." The magician laughed, his shoulders shaking with laughter. He didn't know if he was excited or what, as if he had been longing for this moment for a long time. With a whoosh, he spread his arms and revealed a deck of cards stretched into an accordion shape to Roy.

The cards, from 2 to Ace, then to the grey Joker and the red Joker, were smooth as a mirror, reflecting Roy's face in the Moonlight.

Hisoka stuck out his tongue and let out a soft moan, then suddenly looked at Roy, saying with almost trembling excitement, "Priest, I've finally seen you again since we parted ways with Ganslan."

Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters... the distance keeps getting closer...

Hisoka seemed oblivious, gathering his playing cards and tucking his right hand into his hair, murmuring, "You probably wouldn't believe it, but for the past two years, since you imprisoned me in the wall, I haven't stopped thinking about you, dreaming of standing before you."

"And this day,"

"Today is the day!"

Five meters... four meters... three meters... one meter. Roy listened silently, and at one point, he finally stopped, standing where Kastro had stood before him, his feet sinking into Hua Shidou's footprints. He looked at Hisoka calmly and said, "Have you said enough?"

"Heh heh heh... What if I said it would never be enough?" Hisoka put his hands on his hips, almost touching Roy, and squinted at him, saying, "What are you going to do about it?"

Roy didn't answer, but simply extended his right hand, clenched his fist, opened the Aura Nodes in his body, and let his Nen Qi surge. He then threw a seemingly ordinary straight punch at Hisoka!

The punch, imbued with the [Scorching Heat True Intent], was also delivered using the "Flame Breathing," but the overwhelming heat wave it unleashed, along with the golden, scorching flames that enveloped everything, caused Hisoka's pupils to involuntarily contract in his narrow eyes. Before he could even react, Roy's punch struck his shoulder blade, sending him flying straight away!

"Pfft..." A mouthful of blood gushed out.

The red-haired Sun-Earring Boy, as lithe as a shrimp, arched his back and crashed through five or six piles of garbage before finally coming to a stop nearly two hundred meters later, where he was buried under the trash with a "whoosh," just like Kastro he had kicked away earlier, who fell silent in an instant. Fast... too fast... so fast that even though his movements were slow, seemingly allowing for quick reflexes, he was actually so fast that it completely blinded the naked eye, causing Chrollo, Uvogin, Nobunaga, and the spies sent by the elders of Meteor City to widen their eyes in astonishment! "Hey~hey~really? What just happened?"

"How did that guy just fly away?"

"I don't know... but I think I just saw the Priest raise his hand,"

A hissing sound erupted after the initial silence, as Hisoka was buried under the garbage heap... Chrollo and Pakunoda exchanged a glance. They had already witnessed Roy's amazing abilities, but they never expected that, compared to Kastro, it would be this amazing and terrifying!

With a single punch, the enemy responded in the same way... Is this the happiness of Believer, or simply bliss?

At that moment, even Uvogin, Nobunaga, Sarasa, and the usually carefree Shalnark looked at the "corpse" Kastro in the church and couldn't help but show expressions of envy.

"Whoosh!" In the courtyard, a punch was thrown out with a casual gesture, seemingly without any intention of retracting it...

His silver hair cascaded like a silver river, Roy let the [True Meaning of Scorching Heat] radiate light and heat freely. His pupils suddenly seemed to glow like two Great Sun, and he glanced indifferently at the phantom owl taking flight.

The Kakin Kingdom, the One King's palace, was now as if it had been muted, utterly Shizune...

"One punch, just another punch. The same breathing rhythm, the same [Entanglement], even advanced Nen techniques like [Hardness], [Strength], and [Flow] weren't used; he simply sent the once arrogant Hisoka flying..."

The old brigade commander Grant, struggled to control his emotions, lest he lose his composure before His Highness. The other young private soldiers, however, were far less composed. Some stared wide-eyed, others gaped, utterly speechless with shock, completely unable to contain themselves... "Thud," Benjamin paused on the throne, pointing towards the graveyard, his eyes narrowing.

He was, after all, the eldest prince of the Kakin Empire, and in the original story, the most likely candidate to seize the throne in the Succession War. Both his own strength and the strength of his subordinates far surpassed those of the second prince, Camilla, the Third Prince Chorai, and the Fourth Prince Tserriednich. Even with the backing of powerful mafia families like Shuwuwu, Ai-I-I, and Gasha, Benjamin was not intimidated at all!

The prince, dressed in military uniform and a former soldier, took a deep look at Roy on the screen, then glanced at Guzman out of the corner of his eye. "How is it compared to your expectations?"

Guzman's face darkened as he looked at the dazzling, blinding golden flames burning on Roy's fist. He took a deep breath and said gravely, "He's not like the same person I fought last time!"

Guzman's green hair fluttered in the wind as he said in a deep voice, "Hisoka is not weak; he should be able to withstand one of his punches, but... he really couldn't take it, Your Highness."

The man looked up at Benjamin seriously and said, "Now, you should trust me and let Roy Zoldyck grow."

"He might very well surpass Netero and reach Grade A!"

Grade A! Benjamin; Twice- Hui Guo Rou raised an eyebrow, then tapped the armrest again. The man stared intently at the Sun-Earring Boy Priest on the screen, his silver hair flowing like mercury, and suddenly asked Guzman, "Do I have a grudge against him?"

Guzman paused, then replied truthfully, "No."

"Does Kakin have a grudge against him?"

"No."

"Then why should I listen to you and help you fight him?"

Guzman remained silent.

After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "For His Highness to become stronger, as long as we Zoldyck Roy, I believe the Second and Third Princes will no longer be a threat!" "I never took them seriously!" Benjamin, the "Hui Guo Rou," glanced indifferently at Guzman, straightened his back, and his aura instantly changed! He stared intently at Roy on the screen, and said coldly, "I believe what you say, Roy Zoldyck extraordinary, but to expect me to obey your orders, Guzman, you have overstepped your bounds..."

"Boom!" Multiple streams of energy instantly pressed down on Guzman.

Before Benjamin could finish speaking, the private soldiers led by the old brigade commander Grant unleashed their power, causing the tiles of the palace hall to rattle and crash!

A sharp shout rang out from the cemetery, "Guzman, why don't you apologize to His Highness!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Guzman's expression shifted as he bowed deeply to Benjamin, Hui Guo Rou, "Guzman knows his mistake; please forgive him, Your Highness."

Benjamin, let out a soft sigh, and silently stepped aside.

"Just wait and see. This one you're teaching does have some skill, but he hasn't completely mastered it yet..."

Youyou a casual remark, Benjamin arrived, drawing everyone's attention back to Meteor City.

As Benjamin Hui Guo Rou said, from under a collapsed pile of garbage, a large hand reached out from Gedi, and then, Hisoka, who was holding a severed arm and had regained consciousness, was Hisoka!

With a tremor of his shoulder, blood spurted out, accompanied by a chilling laugh.

When I saw Hisoka stand up again

The onlookers, including Chrollo and Pakunoda Shalnark, suddenly tensed up, and heard Uvogin exclaim, "This guy's got a tough life!"

I wholeheartedly agree; everyone agrees!

However, whether it's simply a matter of being lucky or something else... well, as the saying goes, experts see the details, while laymen just watch the show.

Roy glanced over and, through the vibrant green Nen Qi surrounding Hisoka, caught a glimpse of something familiar.

It was something with a similar principle to his [Rebirth from a Drop of Blood], but in terms of "vitality," it was clearly inferior to [Rebirth from a Drop of Blood]. However, when applied to Hisoka, Roy instantly understood.

This "skill," which seems to be [Life Force] and is constantly repairing Hisoka's severed arm, should be the [Blessing] Hisoka received through the god he worships in the [True God Cult], which is also his... third, following [Bungee Gum] and [Texture Surprise], a newly awakened Nen Ability! "Pee-pee!" The severed arm held by the red-haired Sun-Earring Boy was reattached, this time without needing Machi's "Nen Thread Stitching"!

But cunning as he is, even though his severed arm has been repaired, he still holds it in his hand, using the Texture Surprise to create the impression that he still has a broken arm. It must be said, in terms of combat intelligence, the "Toilet God of War" truly deserves the title!!

"Tap... tap." Footsteps sounded... The magician, clutching a severed arm, stubbornly stood up again. Before Roy could approach, he strode towards him, his eyes blazing with increasing madness and excitement!

"Come!"

100 meters, 50 meters, 10 meters... Finally, I've reached my attack range!

Hisoka stepped into the courtyard, smiling at Roy, and said, "Priest, again!"

Roy immediately felt a tremendous force coming at him, trying to forcibly control him and force him to fly passively towards Hisoka... He didn't even need to look to know that, just like Kastro, Hisoka had stuck [Nen Gum] on the back of his hand!

However, the effects of force are mutual... The same technique worked Kastro for two reasons: firstly, after being blessed by [God], Hisoka's stats were significantly higher than Kastro's due to accelerated growth; secondly, Hisoka took advantage of Kastro 'Kastro ignorance of his Nen Ability, thus allowing him to be hit.

But if it were applied to Roy...

Roy had two thousand points of physique in hand, and another four hundred points were stored on the panel without being touched.

His feet were rooted to the ground like nails, not Hisoka an inch. Hisoka a sudden pull, Hisoka was swept away by the immense force before he could even react, and Roy flew off at lightning speed!

"What immense power!" The person was flying through the air and was nearly pulled up...

Hisoka's eyes narrowed suddenly, and mimicking Kastro, he grabbed his severed arm with his right hand, attached it to the [Firm], and hurled it at Roy's head! In a flash of Nen light!

Then there was a "bang".

His arm missed its mark, easily dodged by Roy's sidestep. Taking advantage of this opening, then...

Hisoka then saw that fist, burning with golden flames, carrying unparalleled force and power, re-enter his eye socket! "Pfft!" The wind stopped, the clouds dispersed.

Roy announced in a low voice, "It's over."

Hisoka's lips suddenly curled into a smirk as he echoed, "Yes, it's finally coming to an end!"

Using the "Texture Surprise" to conceal his already repaired left arm, the graveyard moved, using a playing card as a knife, and stabbed Roy in the heart!
