"Conversion" activated, boosting his strength to its maximum.
He raised his hand, and vast amounts of Nen Aura gathered around his fist. Golden light converged before his knuckles into an ever-expanding orb, its surface wreathed in black-and-red lightning.
The orb kept growing brighter, illuminating the entire collapsing ruins of the Holy Land. Even the distant sea reflected a deep golden glow.
