Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 270 The World of Extreme Moments

"Ho ho..."

Netero stroked his short gray beard, his long earlobes drooped, and a smile like a devilish living Buddha appeared on his face.

He already knew what had just happened.

Everything started with German himself, he had a bad habit.

Zeno and Netero mentioned it, and Netero himself has experienced it personally. I believe that every opponent of German has experienced similar things to a greater or lesser extent.

He would always judge his enemies based on their impressions and reserve his strength before launching attacks.

German's judgment is usually accurate, and he can kill the enemy with almost the first strike at a very low cost.

However, there are always exceptions.

At this time, German would quietly increase his fighting power like adding weights, until he found the fighting power that could compete with the opponent, and then he would stop.

He would wait for his opponent to adapt for a while, and then break the balance at a certain moment, often inflicting heavy damage or even killing the enemy in unexpected circumstances.

This was the case when Germann fought Silva, when he fought Zeno, and when he fought Netero.

This is a bad habit.

It is a strategy that involves both risks and opportunities.

If German failed to maintain balance and control the rhythm, he might not have the chance to burst out with all his strength.

Especially when the opponent's combat power far exceeds his, this method is meaningless. Instead, it will expose his huge flaws and put him in a very dangerous situation.

Netero asked Germain why he had such a habit.

German told him that it was because he often had to face attacks from different times, places and people, and these attacks were often unexpected and continuous.

The reason why he always controls his fighting power and reserves some strength is that he believes that even if he has finished this battle, it is common for him to start a second battle in the next second.

German seeks to defeat his opponents at a very low cost because he always thinks of his situation as being very bad, and he is always tense and prepared to continue fighting.

Facts over the past year have also proven that he has indeed been attacked continuously.

Over time, German developed this bad habit.

However, it was precisely this bad habit that caused Meruem to misjudge and fall into the trap woven by Germain, and thus lost his tail.

Meruem's predictions are precise and take all factors into consideration, just like playing chess, considering countless possible moves.

Once a judgment is made, it is determined to win.

For such a judgment to be wrong, some of the factors must have been wrong in the initial measurement.

Wrong judgments are made based on wrong premises.

The more confident a person is in his own judgment, the more likely he is to fall into German's trap.

Netero found it interesting.

Meruem, if you always show your back to Germain, don't blame him for suddenly jumping on you and biting you...

German moved his feet coldly.

Suddenly, his skin and flesh tightened and the armor on his body sank into his body, tightly connected to his body like a tree root, and the pain came again.

Yes, it is “coming again”.

The armor that German was wearing reminded him of another game he had played before - "Contempt".

It is like Germann's "sub-face man", but without the consciousness of the "sub-face man".

While this armor gave Germain a combat power boost similar to that of a reinforcement system, it also constantly inflicted physical and mental torture on him.

The manifestation is pain.

In order to relieve the pain, German needs to fight, fight, and fight continuously.

Once you stop, the pain will come back again.

This is the same switching frequency as the silver-white halo and dark crown on his head. For this reason, Germain called this set of armor that was increasingly integrated with the mind beast Chaos Roar "Armor of Contempt".

The torture of physical and mental pain did not force Germann to take action immediately.

On the contrary, he waited more and more patiently, and even began to adapt to the pain, regarding it as part of his instincts such as hunger and fatigue.

Is this numbness to pain, or a confusion in the perception of "pain" itself?
Germain didn't know.

However, Meruem figured out some things during this brief truce.

He sighed softly.

Because after the previous attack, he finally realized that German was a person he could not persuade to surrender.

Because Germann's fighting power is already a threat to him as the "King".

Meruem persuaded Netero to surrender because there was a clear difference in combat power between them. He believed that he could subdue Netero and win his heart.

This is the pride brought by the "Three Guardians" bowing to him and having no rivals since their birth.

But Germain pulled off his tail, and with it the curtain of pride, revealing his true self on the throne.

If he is the "king" of the Chimera Ants, then Germain should be the "king" of humans.

If Germain was the king of the six continents, Meruem wouldn't have so many questions about human society.

In Meruem's understanding, it is impossible for a "king" to surrender to another "king".

The only outcome of failure is death or hiding in the dark.

Anyone who surrenders and submits to the rule of another "king" cannot be called a "king". He is just a monkey wearing a crown.

Immediately, Meruem forcibly stopped the bleeding on his tail, just like Netero had done before, like tying a water pipe.

And his eyes were always fixed on Germain.

After correcting his perception of Germain, Meruem's attitude towards Germain also changed.

Those who truly pose a threat to oneself must be eradicated.

Netero was surprised to find that the aura emanating from Meruem had changed...

That was something that had not been emitted during the fight with him...

murderous look.

He had mixed feelings, on the one hand he hated Meruem's contempt for him, on the other hand he was nervous about Meruem's murderous intent towards Germain.

Meruem's next attack will be aimed at killing Germain, and will be much more intense than before.

Netero's hunch was correct.

Meruem's scarlet murderous aura seemed to be tangible, instantly filling the entire abandoned underground testing site, causing Netero to frown.

Netero couldn't see clearly when he catapulted towards Germain again.

However, to Netero's surprise, Germain also gave an equal response.

Netero couldn't see the actual scene of their instantaneous fight, but he could feel the powerful collision of two powerful mental energies, which caused smoke and dust to fly underground.

The explosions came one after another, sounding like a series of explosions occurring at the same time.

However, Netero knew that the explosions actually occurred in sequence, but the intervals between them were compressed to the extreme, so it sounded like they happened at the same time.

That is a world that only Netero, who is in his fifties and in his prime, can glimpse.

Now he can only stand outside this world and watch.

Blood and flesh were flying everywhere, the floor was cracking, the stone pillars were shaking, and the struggle between life and death was so intense that even breathing seemed to stop.

In this world, only Germain could see that Meruem had a greedy smile on his face at this moment.

This is Meruem's true nature.
