From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will
Page 279
However, the changes did not happen. After the "resurrection", Meruem still missed Xiaomu the most and did not want to waste time on outsiders.
At this time, several hours had passed since Xiaojie's battle with the Ant King.
All members of the expedition team left.
Oboro called Killua back and let Komugi play chess with the Ant King, just like in the original work, continuing the spiritual bond between the two different creatures.
"Xiaomi...are you still there?"
"Meruem... I'm..."
"wheat…"
"Yeah... I'm here."
In front of the palace gate, Long stood at the door listening to the conversation coming from the room behind, his mind calm.
The poison in the ant king's body can no longer be suppressed...
Its current state is on the verge of death.
And Wheat has always been with him.
Long also felt the changes in Xiaomai's aura when she was playing chess, as well as the girl's pure soul.
His current magic power has brought his telekinesis to another dimension, and with it comes better development and transformation of his telekinesis. Therefore, Oboro can now feel the soul of a creature through its body within a certain distance... and Xiaomai's soul exudes a special "fragrance".
As for the characteristic of Meruem's soul... it is a simple sense of power.
The power of spiritual consciousness makes the fire of the soul become extremely intense.
Unfortunately, the Ant King’s soul fire is now flickering and may go out at any time.
The reason why he still remained a little sober was because of a belief that supported him... He wanted to spend more time with Xiaomai.
clap clap clap...
The sound of chess pieces falling on the board could be heard continuously from the room.
Fant and Anthony were standing in the distance, and they didn't dare to get too close for fear of being infected by the virus.
Long didn't stand outside the door all the time, he just came over occasionally to "take a look".
No interruptions.
"Captain, Jin's son... won't die, right?"
After a while, seeing Long coming over, Anthony asked.
It was enough to shock others that the boy could actually fight with the ant king.
"Will not."
Hao said something.
Then he looked at Fant and said, "Give me a cigarette."
Fant was stunned.
It was the first time for them to see the captain asking for a cigarette.
Fant handed over a cigarette, Long took it and lit it.
He hasn't smoked since he came here, but he was a heavy smoker in his previous life.
He was totally focused on becoming stronger and practicing, so naturally he couldn't get involved in tobacco and had no desire to smoke.
The environment can change a person's mentality.
"it's all over."
He smoked a cigarette and pondered in his heart.
Then, there are only two questions left.
1. The position of president of the association.
Second, the Kajin Empire and Biyangde.
Long's eyes were a little cold. It was time to eliminate those who were in the way and head to the Dark Continent.
Now that he is as powerful as he is, there is no need to play tricks with those people anymore. Just let your fists do the talking...
To be honest, I'm quite tired.
The reason why he has come this far, in addition to his reckless pursuit of power, is that he has to be cautious and plan everything step by step.
But he himself does not like to play any tricks, and his words are not as sophisticated and unfathomable as some people outside think.
It’s just… he knows this world too well, and these people too well.
"What does V5 mean?"
Long stood on a high place, looking at the entire palace.
"Their people are on their way here, and they asked us to secure the scene after the death of the ant king... and wait for them to come and deal with it." Anthony noticed that the captain's expression was different from before, and was inexplicably infected, and said in a deep voice. The expedition team evacuated because of Xiaojie's matter.
The follow-up was handed over to Long and the other three.
Although the three of them did not participate in the mission, they are members of the association after all.
V5 has fully understood the situation.
"To deal with... is to take the corpses of a few ants back for research." Long said with a cold expression.
"..."
"Should we intervene?"
Fant asked.
"..."
Long didn't say anything, but just threw away the cigarette he had only taken a few puffs of.
Time passes slowly...
"Have a good sleep... Meruem."
"I will be with you soon..."
After a few more hours, the ant king finally fell asleep on Xiaomai's leg pillow and died in the girl's warm arms.
Get what you want.
Long stood outside alone, looking at the clearing sky with rays of sunshine, listening to the sounds in the room behind him, his eyes calm.
He turned and walked into the house, ignoring the infectiousness and radiation of the virus. If it was just a short-term contact, the harm to Long would be minimal.
At this time, in the room, Xiaomai was holding the breathless Meruem with a gentle look on her face. Blood was already flowing from her nostrils, and she was about to follow in the footsteps of the Ant King.
Hearing the footsteps, Xiaomai raised her head and smiled sincerely: "Thank you... Thank you, sir, for allowing me to spend this precious time with Meruem."
Wheat's eyes are blind.
But the girl seemed to understand everything.
"No need to thank me... My reward has already been paid."
The voice was calm.
Saw the soul dropped by the Ant King.
Meruem did not lie, he really had the ability to prevent himself from obtaining souls, because the soul power that was dropped at this time... was extremely strong! Obviously, before the death of the Ant King, he had some kind of will or belief to keep the soul intact to the greatest extent... It was a way to achieve the same goal as the afterlife.
This is the first time since Long began to harvest souls that a living being has been able to autonomously control a soul by changing its consciousness or spirit before death.
Horrible! The Ant King had only seen Mingminglong's telepathic ability a few times before, but he was able to analyze its characteristics.
Most people are unable to combine will and soul.
This is also a thank you gift to Long.
A ghost mist emerged and swept away Meruem's soul.
Long did not absorb it immediately, but looked at Xiaomai, "Do you... have any other wishes or regrets?"
"there is none left…"
Xiaomai shook her head and said, "I am already very satisfied. I never thought that someone like me could have such happiness..."
"..."
Long heard the voice and turned away.
He didn't intend to harvest wheat's soul.
Because although there is some effect, it is not big.
Moreover, Meruem protected this girl until his death.
By offering her own soul, she hoped that Long would not take Xiaomai's soul...
"Thank you again...May your Excellency have a safe journey."
Behind him, Xiaomai politely nodded and bowed her head, saluting to Long's back, her tone as gentle as a spring breeze.
She had a smile on her face and was very happy.
……
The V5 people have entered Dongguotu and will arrive soon.
And Long left alone. He instructed Fant and Anthony to find a place to bury the ant king and the girl together after confirming that Xiaomai was dead.
For v5, wheat is of no value in research. What they want is the corpse of the ant king.
Hearing Long's words, Fant and the others were a little surprised.
Because doing so will definitely lead to questioning and anger from v5.
And Long only left one sentence.
"We have spoiled them too much... Now, there is no need to be nice to those bastards anymore."
"I... am not Netero."
