Chapter 177 Ant King: Emotions? Useless Thing
After Killua repeatedly refused Su Wu's suggestion to have his brain opened, Su Wu left with regret.
Of course, he did one more thing before leaving.
"Wait a minute..." Xiao Jie looked at the boy holding the strange weapon and reached out to stop him.
But if he couldn't do it when he could use Nen, how could he possibly stop the other party now that he can't use Nen?
The strange weapon pierced straight into the plush toy on Xiao Jie's shoulder.
After a dazzling light and a mesmerizing buzzing sound, the plush toy disappeared from Xiao Jie's shoulder.
"Yes, cracking down on organized crime and usury, I am Buddha's mentor." Su Wu retracted the Heavenly Reverse Mou with satisfaction.
So it turns out that when something manifested by Nen ability is touched by Tennis, it disappears immediately.
Su Wu never compromises herself; she does what she wants to do.
"..." Xiao Jie touched his shoulder, feeling the Nen he could use again, his face filled with joy. "That was amazing!"
Su Wu curled the corners of his mouth, looking completely matter-of-fact. He suddenly glanced to his right and then disappeared from Gon and Killua's sight.
"Why was my ability removed?!" Nakulu arrived at the scene three seconds after Su Wu left.
He looked rather disheveled, his hair appearing somewhat messy.
He could still sense when something went wrong with his Nen ability, especially...
When he sensed this brutal and direct interruption, his abilities momentarily went into disarray.
"This..." Xiao Jie, who wasn't good at lying, looked around nervously.
"Who knows?" Killua, a master of lying, shrugged, his face completely nonchalant.
The culprits are long gone.
……
In the royal palace.
"I need to know more about humans," the Ant King, who had already read most of the humans' books, ordered his three guards.
Unfortunately, they were born in NGL, and even as ants, like the humans living there, they hadn't really seen much of the world.
Otherwise, they could learn about the true state of humanity through the internet, instead of being misled by Su Wu into believing that there are many king-level powerhouses among humans.
"Understood, Your Majesty." The three guards bowed their heads.
"Oh, in a meeting?" This was the scene Su Wu saw when she appeared, her tone casually teasing.
Because... this wasn't the first time he'd encountered the Ant King making a request.
Dissatisfied with the taste of the food, he reluctantly ate it, but demanded that the guards find something even better.
He was also dissatisfied with his lodgings, so he asked three guards to renovate his palace to be even more luxurious than before.
In short, this guy is a nitpicker; he can always find something to be dissatisfied with.
His dissatisfaction stemmed from the feeling that these things were not good enough for him.
Su Wu felt that she was not as picky as the other party, and the Ant King never thought that he was picky, but only believed that he deserved to enjoy the best of everything.
Indeed, he is, after all, the king of a race. If Su Wu were the king of the human race, that is, the human king, he would be even more outrageous than the ant king.
After all, when it comes to extravagance and waste, the Ant King is still too ignorant.
The three guards stood up and stood aside, ignoring Su Wu, who didn't care either.
In fact, these three guarding ants always harbored murderous intent towards him, but they refrained from attacking due to their superior strength, while Su Wu...
With the Ant King in front of them, they looked down on the three of them.
"How about we raise the stakes a bit today?" Su Wu asked, squatting on the back of the Ant King's chair and looking down at the other person.
The ant king clearly disliked being looked down upon, and stood up to look at him.
The next second, Su Wu sat on the other's throne. "You want to eat me? If you win, I'll give you one of my hands." He raised his right hand.
"Both hands are fine too." The white-haired boy held up both hands, his face devoid of any smile, his eyes dark and ghostly.
"..." The Ant King remained silent.
But his tail moved, whistling past and piercing through the back of the chair, but Su Wu was no longer on the throne.
"It's too small here, we can't move around freely. Let's go outside." The white-haired figure said this and disappeared from the spot.
The ant king turned around and followed.
"Alice." Amy and Alice emerged from the corner.
"This is the fourth time, brother," Alice counted.
"I wonder how this will end," Aimei said softly.
In the previous battles between the human and the ant, there was no clear winner or loser, but the ant king was always the one who got injured, while the white-haired human remained unharmed until the very end.
Humans also possess some amazing special abilities.
Su Wu didn't go all out in her fight with the Ant King this time, because going all out would be boring.
No matter what, they couldn't hit him, and he wouldn't get hurt. The reversal technique was completely useless, and he didn't even use the Heavenly Reversal Technique.
Fighting the Ant King bare-handed was far more exhilarating than the previous battles.
This made him think that perhaps... he liked pain and bloodshed.
That sounds awful, like something a masochist would say.
But pain and the smell of blood are what make the world real; having no limits feels too unreal.
Although my head hurts a lot when I use it... I always feel like something's missing if I don't bleed.
That sounds even worse.
Su Wu turned her head, seemingly narrowly avoiding the tip of the ant king's tail.
"Why didn't you... this time?" The Ant King's tone was strange, but he didn't know how to say it.
Every time he fought his opponent, he could feel a force that made it seem like he could never touch him. Why was it gone today?
"Oh, I don't think I'll need that," the white-haired boy said with a light smile.
Why can't I use it? Why can't I use it? Because I feel I don't have that kind of energy, and I can't hurt him?
The King Ant was furious. "You've been up to too many tricks."
When fighting, the opponent will always make useless, feinting moves.
The ant king looked down on such behavior.
"Ah, because I like people who are unpredictable," the white-haired boy replied casually.
"Release." Another wave of attacks landed on the Ant King, but he paid no attention.
Because those slashes were invisible and intangible, it was impossible to discern how the attacks were launched from the white-haired human's series of movements, making them impossible to avoid.
However, due to his hard shell, these slashes did very little damage to him.
Without that invisible barrier, his attacks landed on his opponent just as easily.
The attack, which was powerful enough to instantly headshot or send someone flying, landed on the opponent but caused no serious damage whatsoever.
Even after being hit by the tail, the opponent's retaliatory movements did not stop at all; instead, it laughed and mocked:
"What's going on? It doesn't hurt at all, so I told you that I don't need that ability at all."
The slash landed on the Ant King once again.
"Your shell is really hard..." The white-haired boy stepped back, widening the distance between himself and the Ant King.
He didn't even use Cang.
The ant king naturally couldn't let him get too far away, so he followed closely behind.
The tail lashed towards the boy's forehead, but he neither dodged nor flinched, only letting out a low, inexplicably excited groan—
"Spell Reversal - Heh."
That was the attack the Ant King had suffered during his first encounter with the opponent; it could indeed cause him damage, but that was all.
The Ant King made a strategic retreat, but the red light was faster than him.
He was hit as soon as he turned around.
The body's joints, however, were scattered by this attack.
Just like the gift package that fell after Ugly was destroyed, this time the gift package that fell from the sky contained various parts of the Ant King.
By collecting all the parts, you can assemble a complete ant king.
"With maximum output and ten uses of Hellfire, your shell is indeed very hard." Su Wu picked up one of the Ant King's hands, observed it for a moment, and casually tossed it to the guards who rushed over.
Give up Canghe and Wuxiaxian, and also give up Tiannimou.
He simply endured the physical blows, using the Release and Black Flash as his basic attack methods, and finally ended the battle with the Kaku.
Several black flashes and numerous releases were used, with most of the slashes landing on the King Ant's joints. Some landed on his chest and other parts to conceal his purpose. He made various fancy little movements and feints to deal with the King Ant's attacks. His aim was to use these movements to signal the release, so that the King Ant would not know how the release was activated and would naturally be unable to dodge.
Furthermore, the Ant King looked down on the damage caused by the solution, after all, he didn't understand the principle of perseverance.
And He was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've been this disheveled." Su Wu touched her forehead, which was almost pierced and bleeding profusely, licked the blood that had flowed into her mouth, and spoke with a low laugh.
The only time I was in such a sorry state was when I first landed in Meteor City and was brutally beaten by West Germany during training because I couldn't use any of my abilities.
After that, it seems he never encountered anyone who could hurt him.
The ant king's attack landed on him, leaving him with a body covered in frightening bruises and swellings.
However, compared to the Ant King, who was beaten to a pulp like a Lego brick, he was practically unharmed.
"I'm tired..." He sat down on the spot, reached out and wiped his eyes. The wound on his forehead was just above his eyes, and the blood was flowing down, wetting his eyelashes and obstructing his vision a little.
"Hahahaha—" He lay down on the ground and laughed out loud as he watched the golden-haired ants busily flying around in the sky looking for the ant king's parts. The laughter grew louder and louder, becoming unrestrained.
Neferpitou repaired the King Ant's body, and even though 80% of the King Ant's body parts became independent components, he still did not die.
"Do you need my help?" Su Wu got up, not bothering to heal herself, but instead walked to the Ant King's side, whose body had been mostly repaired by Neferpitou.
"Ah, you can become stronger by eating, right?" Su Wu suddenly remembered this.
It's an enviable ability; you can become stronger just by eating.
The queen ant's feeding and mating abilities are also remarkable; by eating and giving birth to similar ants, the queen ant's ability could perhaps be called feeding enhancement?
As Su Wu thought this, he couldn't help but laugh. Without changing his expression, he directly broke off one of his arms, ignoring the gushing blood, and casually tossed it to the Ant King.
"Here, eat up," he said with a smile.
It's just an arm; consider it a tip for the person who played with me.
The blond ant caught his arm without saying anything.
"Are you fooling me?" The Ant King glanced at his arm, his voice sounding somewhat angry.
The initial bet was clearly that the winner would receive the prize, but given his current situation, does that count as a win? Is this guy giving him handouts?
"What? I'm just curious what would happen if you ate my flesh. Hmm, and I also want to know what my flesh tastes like in your mouths." The white-haired boy's tone was light and casual.
"..." The Ant King fell silent.
Is this strange human because he hasn't seen many humans, or is it that most humans are actually the same as him?
Such a thing is... indescribable.
The golden-haired ant led Su Wu to the side by the arm. The ant king couldn't just eat like that. The ingredients always had to be processed before they could be served on the king's table. Usually, they would roll the ingredients into meatballs.
The Queen used to be able to eat enough meatballs for 250 people a day.
Su Wu watched with curiosity as the guards removed the bones and flesh from his arm, cooked it into meatballs, and handed them to the Ant King.
"Hey, this is the first time I've ever seen something like this." He looked at the skeleton beside him, chuckled softly, picked it up with his other good hand, and casually waved it a couple of times.
"Hmm, it's something worth collecting. Maybe my bones can even be turned into weapons..." he said thoughtfully.
After all, given his physique, even his bones are quite hard; if made into an item, it would be at least a top-tier item.
With that thought in mind, he stuffed his own bone into Ugly Baby's mouth.
Only when he felt he had lost too much blood did he use the Reversal Technique to heal himself. His severed arm grew back in the blink of an eye, and all the wounds on his body healed.
"Hmm...nothing different." He tried to clench his fist, feeling his newly grown arm. It was no different from the previous one, and it was no different in use.
Thanks to Neferpitou's efforts, the King Ant was also pieced back together.
He picked up the meatball that the blond ant had served him and took a bite.
"How is it? Doesn't it taste pretty good?" the white-haired boy asked with great interest, seemingly very curious about how his meat tasted.
"...Because I already knew you would taste wonderful, the actual taste didn't have that unexpected delight." The Ant King said while slowly eating the meatballs.
Huh? Because you already knew I was delicious, when you actually ate it, you just felt it was expected and not surprising at all, right?
"..." Su Wu pouted. "Oh, you like guys who look weak but are actually very strong. That way, they'll taste unexpectedly delicious."
I can tell, this guy loves surprises.
Honestly, he's eating other people's flesh and doesn't even know how to say a nice thing. He's such a clueless guy.
"By the way, the ants on the Queen's side have already announced their surrender to humans." Su Wu changed the subject.
"It's not surprising that a group of weaklings made this decision." The Ant King's expression remained one of expectation.
"Don't you want to know why?" Su Wu continued, and without waiting for the ant king's reply, she continued, "Because the ant leading the way over there has fallen in love with a human."
The ant king finally showed an expression of confusion and utter incomprehension.
What did he just hear? Ants? Falling in love with humans?
"In order to be able to live with humans, the leading ant surrendered without saying a word and even planned to move to the human area to live." Su Wu began to spout nonsense with her eyes wide open.
"Just like where I used to live, I also encountered an ant that wanted to invade. I think her name was Zazan? She fell in love with me at first sight and insisted on being with me, settling down near where I lived a long time ago..." Su Wu brought up the fake queen from Meteor City who he killed the moment they met.
After all, he only knew the other person's name, and lies need some truth to embellish them.
"It's such a touching sentiment," he said, pretending to wipe away non-existent tears from the corner of his eye.
"This is just proof that those guys are useless," the Ant King said arrogantly and with disdain.
Okay, once you fall in love with humans, I'll repeat this sentence to you every day, ha!
Su Wu twitched the corner of her mouth, feigning concern as she looked at the Ant King, who had already finished his meatballs, and asked, "Have you gotten stronger?"
"Invisible." The Ant King clenched his fist, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with his own strength.
It's just an arm; it would be strange if it could become stronger.
Unless it's an arm of a creature whose strength is far inferior to his, it might not have a very significant effect.
"I see." Su Wu's tone was calm, not surprised at all. After all, with just a glance, he could tell whether the Ant King had become stronger or not. He was just changing the subject.
