In the original version of events, the Ant King was nearly obliterated by the Poor Man's Rose. He survived only because the poison had yet to fully take effect.
If the toxin had been released at the exact moment of the explosion, Meruem would never have lasted long enough for Shaiapouf and Youpi to reach him.
But ...

After Ging stepped out of the room, he followed the energy trail leading him to the reception hall.
"Where's Ronnel?"
"According to this, there's an abandoned weapons t...
2025-04-01 05:02:01 +0000 UTC View Post"Just a brat."
"Just one examinee."
"How do you have such strength?"
It wasn't that the Hunter Association was oblivious, nor did it mean the Hunter Exam was flawed.
Most of the examinees in the Hunter Exam didn't even know how to use Nen. Only a rare few had the ability to wield it.
And those wh...
2025-04-01 05:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostA barrage of thick branches lunged at Natsu.
"Fists alone won't be enough to stop my attack!" Old T sneered, a smirk curling at the corner of his lips.
Natsu stepped back, inhaling sharply.
"Dragon Roar!"
A violent burst of flames surged forward, engulfing the incoming branches. Some disintegrated inst...
2025-04-01 05:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostRecalling that moment, Kaizen couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic.
Back then, he had stood before the Kute Gang.
None of them had even spared him a second glance.
To them, Kaizen had been nothing more than a weakling.
But now, years later, he stood as their equal.
When Kaizen had fought Hisoka...
2025-03-31 05:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostKaizen snapped back to his senses and looked at Gon and the others.
"Finished?"
Gon nodded. "We've already won."
A total of five matches—best of three.
Due to Kaizen's presence, the events had shifted slightly from the original course, but the outcome remained unchanged.
Killua defeated the bal...
2025-03-31 05:02:02 +0000 UTC View PostMeruem was confident that he could withstand Ronnel's physical attacks.
But this invisible, colorless, and odorless toxin—what if his opponent had released it during their game of Gungi? What then?
He could endure it, but the sheer potency had already caused him significant damage. What about an ordinary girl li...
2025-03-31 05:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe two clashed relentlessly, exchanging blows in the most direct and brutal way possible—fist against flesh, power against power.
Throughout the battle, Meruem had come to a realization.
"This human's physical level… it's probably not weaker than mine anymore."
After absorbing his Royal Guards ...
2025-03-31 05:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post"You humans have many tricks, but once I have seen them, they become useless."
The Ant King withdrew his hand from the spot where he had been struck. After receiving treatment, the burning pain vanished.
He looked at Ronnel, who had also been healed, and spoke calmly:
"Although I tend to trade injuries for i...
2025-03-30 05:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostThis was the most straightforward attack method of the Chimera Ants.
Facing Ronnel's fist, radiating with overwhelming aura, Meruem felt an unmistakable sense of danger—the same threat he had once sensed from Netero's Zero Hand.
"Is this the extent of your power? Good. Let's see whose attack is stronger."
...
2025-03-30 05:02:00 +0000 UTC View Post"Communication is essentially the need to be known. In simple terms, it's about popularity."
Kaizen thought for a moment.
"Take Natsu, for example."
"Right now, Natsu is fused with Ryunosuke Akutagawa."
"Natsu still exists, but Akutagawa Ryunosuke is gone."
"To be precise, Ryunosuke Akutagawa has...
2025-03-30 05:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostGon and the others exchanged glances.
"Who goes first?"
"I'll do it."
Killua raised his hand and stepped into the ring.
Boom!
In an instant, Killua vanished and reappeared behind the bald opponent. With a swift strike to the neck, the man collapsed, unconscious.
Killua shook his he...
2025-03-30 05:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post"Killua and I found a few hidden doors here.
...There are five in total."
"That works out perfectly for the five of us."
"But we have no idea where these doors lead."
"Any thoughts?"
By now, quite some time had passed since the start of the Hunter Exam.
Gon and Killua were the same age and ...
2025-03-29 06:03:00 +0000 UTC View Post"Who was responsible for this?"
Killua's eyes flickered as he processed the situation.
"There was no way Gon and I could even touch the ball in the old man's hands."
"We got played with—completely toyed with."
"And he wasn't even serious."
"Who could poss...
2025-03-29 06:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostAfter injecting himself, he remained unaffected. On the contrary, it heightened his ability to sense the intricate intertwining of Nen and malice within his body.
Through numerous experiments, he had determined that an infusion of eight vials was enough to push the balance between Nen and malice to a razor-thin edge—u...
2025-03-29 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostRonnel had already prepared himself mentally.
Meruem wasn't afraid of what was coming—but he was worried about Komugi.
He didn't want her to suffer because of him.
She had already been severely injured once when those two old invaders attacked from above.
To make sure nothing like that happened again...
2025-03-29 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostIn a remarkably short time, the new heart was carefully and meticulously reconstructed.
Such an extreme method of treatment—if it were anyone else, even Ging or Emuksu—they wouldn't have been able to complete the process without the aid of specialized tools or abilities.
But for Meruem, it was effortless.

"Ronnel, he... is he okay...?"
After a long silence, Morel finally forced out the question, his voice heavy with concern.
"I have no idea."
Meleoron looked just as troubled, sighing as he spoke.
No one had an answer.
Before, they had confidence in Ronnel. But...
2025-03-28 06:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostEven if Hisoka was a pervert, he wasn't someone who completely disregarded his image.
On the contrary—Hisoka cared a great deal about appearances.
That twisted persona of his? It was something he carefully crafted.
Powerful. Unpredictable. A master of card-based trickery…
All to create an air of my...
2025-03-28 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostFrom Netero's perspective, Kaizen had two ways to deal with Raiken.
One was to abandon it completely.
The other was to repurpose it.
However, for a Nen user, abandoning something outright was rarely a good choice.
It was like managing resources.
Most resources in the world were finite. Once used,...
2025-03-28 06:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostIn Nen battles, keeping one's trump cards hidden is crucial.
But for Kaizen, there were really only two abilities worth concealing.
One was Killer Queen.
The other was Chitong.
However, the former had already been revealed during his journeys in the Taris Kingdom and Fiora Kingdom, so there was little ...
2025-03-27 06:04:01 +0000 UTC View Post"You'll find out soon enough."
Kaizen didn't explain further.
Killua frowned. The number of examinees had dropped significantly once again.
More than a hundred had advanced to the second phase of the exam, but now, only half remained.
Once again, everyone boarded the airship, and for the time being, th...
2025-03-27 06:03:00 +0000 UTC View PostAnd he, the Ant King, Meruem, could never fall by human hands!
He would eliminate every last invader and conqueror, one by one.
Just like now—eradicating the human standing before him.
This battle would be his declaration of war against the entire world!
Once he crushed this opponent, he would return...
2025-03-27 06:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostWhether the Ant King understood or not, Ronnel lightly shook his head and continued speaking to himself:
"Fighting you at your strongest—that's what I want. As for me, I have no chance of winning..."
With that, Ronnel smiled slightly, closed his mouth, and stopped talking.
No chance of winning?
He ha...

Soft laughter echoed high above the East Gorteau Kingdom. A gust of wind blew past, then silence returned once more.

2025-03-26 06:03:00 +0000 UTC View PostUnder the crushing weight of this overwhelming aura, even taking a single step forward felt impossible. Turning around to assess the situation behind him was out of the question.
"Can we really defeat a monster like the Ant King?"
Meleoron was filled with doubt, his heart sinking further with each passing second. ...
2025-03-26 06:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostKaizen was meeting Netero for the first time.
It was also the first time Netero had seen Kaizen in person.
Yet, the two of them spoke as if they were already well acquainted.
Strangely enough, neither found this odd.
Due to his knowledge of the original course of events, Kaizen had a deep understanding...
2025-03-26 06:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThis situation felt contradictory.
Even Kurapika and Leorio harbored some resentment over the previous cooking test.
Both had their own reasons for becoming Hunters, yet the absurdity of the exam's evaluation method had stripped them of their chance.
Neither of them could accept that.

"Split Mountain?"
Netero's eyes lit up slightly, a flicker of recognition passing through his otherwise calm expression.
"Sure."
Before long, the airship descended, and the candidates began boarding one by one.
