"No."
Gon shook his head firmly. "My nose and tongue are sharp—I can't be wrong."
Kurapika and Leorio immediately stopped drinking.
Even though they were thirsty, they trusted Gon more. After traveling together, they knew his instincts were reliable. Besides, even if they had any doubts, they weren't about to take unnecessary risks. Drinking it might be dangerous, but not drinking was the safer option.
"It's not expired—it's poisoned," Killua added, his voice cool ...

Kaizen had gained a lot from the Zoldyck family.
So, in return, he was willing to give back to their descendants.
Promising to have a match with Killua? That was nothing.
Kaizen just hadn't expected Killua to care so much about him.
He had assumed that, after more than three—almost four—years, Killua might have forgotten him. After all, in the original timeline, there was hardly any mention of the Heavens Arena in Killua's past.
But things had changed now.

There might not even be a need to wait for him to collapse from exhaustion.
Ronnel's next punch could very well send Yupi to his demise!
"Hoo~!"
Heavy breathing filled the battlefield.
Yupi's long, pointed tongue hung from his mouth, droplets of blood dripping onto the ground. Not only had he endured those two devastating punches, but even as he retreated, he was struck by countless piercing light shards.
As one of the strongest fighters across the six continents...

Before they could even process what was happening, the answer revealed itself!
Boom!
A cascade of light and energy pierced through the ceiling, illuminating the grand hall below. The sheer brilliance of the spectacle left everyone momentarily stunned.
"This is... ?!"
Killua, the only one who recognized the technique, was the first to react.
"Then that means the helper Grandpa found is—"
Before he could finish his thought, two figures had ...

The others raised their heads and followed closely behind.
"Dragon? Interesting."
Outside the palace, Pitou licked his dry lips, his aura retracting instantly. His feline eyes locked onto a precise spot in the clouds.
During the brief moment his En had expanded, he had already pinpointed the enemy's location, along with the subtle yet overwhelming power radiating from them.
This is an opponent worth fighting.
The thought surged through Pitou's mind, sharpening hi...

Chimera Ants not only occupied territory but also reproduced rapidly. On top of that, the Ant King's apparent concern for the girl had led Morel to certain assumptions.
"It seems the Ant King still has some humanity left in him. Maybe there's a chance..."
Morel's apprentice, Beast Hunter Knuckle, mused as he considered the implications.
Just then, Shoot patted Knuckle on the shoulder. "Don't worry. You know me—I won't hesitate when the time comes."

Because he had watched Kaizen fight before, Killua set Kaizen as a short-term goal.
Killua wanted to reach Kaizen's level of strength. But over time, he realized that his progress wasn't as fast as he had hoped.
Two years ago, when Killua finally earned his ticket to the 200th floor of Heavens Arena, Kaizen had already become a Floor Master. In fact, he had defeated the previous Floor Master with overwhelming ease.
Killua wanted to challenge the 200th floor, but Silva forbad...

Before long, Leorio returned with some herbs and immediately began treating the middle-aged man's injuries.
Meanwhile, Gon and Kurapika were still in pursuit...
At the same time, some of the candidates had already arrived at the examination site.
Tonpa, a veteran of multiple Hunter Exams, had also made his way there. Though not particularly strong on the surface, he was well-versed in the exam process and enjoyed messing with newcomers, taking ...

"I don't think so. Since we passed the assessment, what he told us must be the correct route," Leorio said, frowning.
"But he didn't speak to me," Kurapika countered. "He only spoke to you, Gon."
"Maybe he assumed I'd tell you," Gon replied before turning to Kaizen. "What about you?"
"I think the bus route is wrong," Kaizen said calmly. "I overheard some examinees talking earlier. They said the bus route was a trap, and those who took it ended up turning back to this port to...

"Hey!"
A voice called out as a figure quickly caught up to Kaizen.
Kaizen turned his head to see Gon jogging toward him.
"Something wrong?" Kaizen asked.
"Are you taking the Hunter Exam too?" Gon asked, his expression bright with curiosity.
Kaizen nodded. "That's right."
"Then do you want to go together? The captain's grandfather gave me a tip—he said to head toward the giant tree. You weren't there earlier, so I guess he didn't give you that info."

Killua, slightly cautious, considered the implications and couldn't help but ask,
"So, as far as I understand, the price and limitations seem to be tied to lifespan. But whether it's the lifespan of the person using the ability or the lifespan of the one wrapped in the cloths... that, I don't know."
Killua and the others processed this information in silence.
A Nen ability linked to time... That wasn't something an ordinary price could cover. If it required sacrificing lifes...

Fate is such a strange thing—no matter how hard one tries to control it, it often has a way of slipping through the cracks.

The Ant King didn't respond but simply gazed up at the starry sky.
"Your Majesty, if something is troubling you, please tell us. We exist to solve your problems."
Shaiapouf observed the king's state carefully and spoke in a cautious tone.
"Komugi is surrounded by a faint light."
"Komugi?"
"The blind girl who plays Gungi with me."
Where the Ant King couldn't see, Shaiapouf's fist clenched tightly.
"Unbelievable. He actually mentioned that woman."

"If you do not receive treatment, then I will not continue playing chess!"
In response to such reckless words, the Ant King fell silent for a moment. Then, he called for Neferpitou to provide treatment.
He also noticed that this girl was exhausted from playing chess. Despite his previous declaration to continue the game, he told her to rest instead.
Shaiapouf couldn't understand this, but one thing was clear to him—
This girl had influence over the Ant King.

The cabin was thrown into chaos.
The ship rocked violently.
In essence, this storm was a kind of test. But compared to previous years, today's storm was particularly intense—stronger than even the captain had expected.
Kaizen sat back against the cabin wall, completely unfazed. To him, the ship's violent motions were no different from an amusement park ride. It didn't excite him, nor did it discomfort him in the slightest.
For the other candidates, however, it was a ...

But Kaizen was taller.
His youthful aura was more subdued, while Kurapika's was sharper, carrying an air of quiet intensity.

A bomb shot out from Killer Queen's right arm, an auto-tracking type that locked onto its target based on heat signatures. The power of its explosion was directly correlated to the heat of the target.
Its defensive capabilities were extreme—ordinary attacks couldn't destroy it. However, despite its overwhelming explosive power, the Wither Heart Bomb wasn't without weaknesses. It had a particular sensitivity to heat.

When the challenger chose Kaizen, he had already communicated with them, explaining that he didn't have time and suggesting they pick another opponent. If they truly wanted to fight him, they could wait six months, at which point he could set the match date himself.

However, Knov's physical and mental state made Morel's heart sink.
Morel still acknowledged Knov's strength.
Although Knov's Nen ability was of the support type, it involved space manipulation—an advanced and dangerous field. If used offensively, its power was not to be underestimated.
Knov possessed a unique space-based cutting technique called Scream. It exploited the opening and closing of his Hide and Seek (Fourth-Dimensional Apartment) to attack enemies. By positionin...

To ensure Ronnel had the best strategy against the Ant King, Meleoron personally demonstrated his Nen abilities, allowing Ronnel to sense them firsthand. He even showcased the limits of his breath-holding time.

As they discussed and analyzed their strategy, the two entered the Republic of East Gorteau.
