"Gon, this seems to be you," Killua said uncertainly.
Although the body and Nen strength have undergone significant changes, the appearance still bears a striking resemblance to Gon, and the aura is nearly identical!
Gon also sat up and observed himself in the image. Could it be a desperate situation in the future, prompting him to resort to such measures?
Simultaneously, President Netero displayed a look of astonishment. The other party's aura surpassed his current self. What transpired in the future for Gon to transform like this?
[The image gradually brightens, revealing a continuous and stylish building complex—the Royal Palace of East Gorteau, the Republic of East Gorteau.]
[The subsequent scene depicts Hunter Association President Netero and the Ant King departing on a golden dragon.]
Countless viewers were momentarily stunned. Isn't this the same video from the last time? Why is it being repeated?
But in the next moment, the camera switched.
[In the image, a girl with animal ears crouches on the ground like a cat. In front of her lies an unconscious white-haired girl with a severe abdominal injury!]
[Looking up, a puppet connected to the tail of the cat-eared girl hovers, with numerous surgical instruments extending from her fingers, tending to the gravely injured white-haired girl.]
[Suddenly, a breeze blows, and another person appears in the room.]
(A person emanating strong killing intent!)
[He speaks in a low voice, filled with hatred:]
"Do you still remember me..."
[Neferpitou's eyes tremble, displaying disbelief. At such a critical moment of treatment, she did not expect someone to break through here!]
[She turns back and sees a boy enveloped in black aura, but she can't recall who the person in front of her is!]
[The boy clenches his fists and shouts angrily:]
"I'm Gon Freecss!"
["I came to you to restore Kite...!]
[The next moment flashes into memory, recounting Pitou's encounter with Kite, culminating in Kite stopping Pitou and allowing him and Killua to live, eventually turning into a stitched doll.]
Gon is left speechless off-screen.
Locating Pitou, the original future, has become an exceedingly challenging task.
Somewhere in the forest, the Ant King breathes a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he chose to depart on his own, or he wouldn't have been able to bear it if Komugi was injured!
Despite his newfound strength, he dislikes surprises.
Before one realizes it, Mereum, who possesses humanity, also harbors vulnerabilities!
[The screen returns to the present.]
[Pitou's eyes tremble, panic setting in her heart!]
[But the reason is not fear of the other party's revenge, but how to fulfill the king's order!)]
[Because using the "Doctor Blythe" requires a lot of Nen, and during the activation of the skill, she cannot use other abilities!)]
Offscreen, Killua is a little weird!
The Pitou in front of him didn't even take a fighting stance in the face of the enemy, and she didn't exude a bit of Nen, she was just as defenseless as a dead body!
(...)
[Gon stared at the enemy in front of him, he didn't even think about winning or losing this battle!!]
(And at this time, he also saw the human girl behind Pitou!]
[At this moment, the figures of the girl and Kite overlapped, and he seemed to see the devil who tortured Kite doing the same thing to the girl!!)
[Gon steps forward angrily!
["I'll let you and the monster on you leave that girl, and then duel with me, and after the duel, put Kite…]
[However, before he could finish speaking, Pitou actually knelt on the ground with both knees and spread her hands out in a gesture of giving up resistance! ]
[She lowered her head and begged:
["Please, please wait a moment."
[This sentence made Gon seem to have punched cotton, which angered him even more; he didn't understand why he had to wait!!]
[How long have he waited for this day!]
[He will never wait!!)
[However, just as he walked forward, Pitou pleaded in a panic:
["You can do whatever you want me to do, but please let me save this person, I must save her!]
[Hearing these words, Pitou's eyes became dull, and darkness began to gather inside 🙂]
["Why do you have to save her!?"]
Pitou answered truthfully, this girl is the most important person to the ant king, who is regarded as a treasure, and it is her duty to fulfil the king's order!)
[This sentence makes Gon's mentality completely explode, and a stronger black aura erupts from his body!]
[Kite is also his most important person, but he was mercilessly killed by the Pitou in front of him and made into a doll!)
[How dare you say such a thing to him now!!]
[at this time)
["What she said is true, Gon." Killua stopped trying to let Pitou treat the girl.]
[But Gon is even more mad!]
His eyes were full of pain, and he shouted at Killua as if he was crying:)
["Should?! Maybe!?.. Just kidding!")
["How can you believe what this Kite says!!]
["Absolutely, absolutely can't believe it!]
[taste!)
[When the sound of the fracture came, Pitou turned around in shock and saw that Pitou broke his left arm!)
[Then she trembled and said:]["If you want, your right hand and both feet can be broken!]
["If you think I will target you after the treatment, you can abuse me as much as you want without affecting the treatment.]
At this moment, the viewers of countless worlds are confused.
For now, they can't tell who will Darken.
[Hearing those words, Gon angrily knelt on the ground, collapsing and crying out in pain and tears:)
["Damn it, damn it!!)
["Why do you care so much about that girl and go to such lengths for Kite!!)
[In this moment, the young man continued to pound the ground like a madman!)
Outside the screen, President Netero sighed and shook his head.
Gon always believed Kite wasn't dead, but witnessing Kite tortured and made a human puppet made him despise his own cowardice and incompetence!
This young one had been fighting desperately, though he didn't quite understand why because his true enemy was himself.
Saving Kite had transformed into a demonic path, the only way for the kid to save himself, forcing him to defeat Pitou!
But defeating Pitou meant turning into a demon like her and letting a human girl die.
Now Gon faced a choice: to be a coward again, bearing the infamy of not daring to save his friends and suffering eternally,
Or to press forward by any means, seize the moment, and become a demon devoid of humanity.
Regardless of his choice, Gon's heart would ache.
His earlier outburst towards Killua was a desperate plea for Killua to reveal that Pitou was lying, sparing him from making that choice!
[Gon stood up, choosing not to believe Pitou!)
[In the next moment, golden energy gathered on his right fist, forming a flame, and a decisive punch began!)
[But at that moment, Killua hastily intervened:
["Gon, if you kill her, Kite will never recover!"
[He had observed from the sidelines and knew Pitou was not lying. "
[Gon halted, coldly remarking to Killua:
["Killua, you're fortunate. You can remain calm because you can distance yourself from the trouble")
[In his heart, Gon felt an intense chill.]
[Killua remained silent, having experienced the same dilemma; he could either watch Kite's fate unfold or kill Pitou. )
[He could do all this without bearing any burden, but Gon couldn't. "
[Killing Pitou would condemn Gon to a lifetime of agony. "
[So he had to speak up to halt the impending action!)
Outside the screen, Gon gazed at Killua with tearful eyes.
The supposed impartial bystander, Killua, unaffected by the scene, remained composed.
He understood the potential harm his words could inflict upon Killua.
Killua responded with a nonchalant smile.
"[Gon agreed to Pitou, granting only an hour, with a condition – to rescue Kite.]
"[Pitou consented, while Gon sat there, waiting in silence."
"The screen began to fast-forward and jump."
"[When the camera halted again, Pitou had healed Komugi!]
"The two departed from the palace and arrived at Kite's imprisonment location."
"The wooden door creaked open, revealing a man adorned with sewing needles and threads, kneeling under candlelight at the room's end."
"Off-screen,Gon's excitement grew; at least, the video in front of him sparked hope!
"As long as there's hope, he can persevere and fight!
"The pair walked behind Kite, and Gon, with anticipation, addressed Pitou:
"'Then, as per the agreement, you must treat Kite well.'"
"Pitou remained still but spoke coldly and calmly: 'So, what's your name?'
"[Gon, Gon Freecss."'
"At this moment, the roles of the two sides reversed. Gon responded promptly, refraining from questioning the sudden inquiry."
"Pitou's voice, devoid of fluctuation, continued:
"'Because you complied with my request, I should at least tell the truth...'"
"Hearing this, Pitou's heart trembled, panic was seeping in.
"Then, he heard Pitou's brutally honest words:
"'He is dead.
"'He was already dead before we came here, and I cannot resurrect him. What I can do is preserve the corpse and reconstruct the puppet manipulation.'"
"'His soul is no more, rendering restoration impossible.'"
"A strong wind rushed into the room, toppling Kite's body to the ground."
"At that moment, the world turned black and white!"
"Gon's eyes lost focus instantly, leaving behind only suppressed despair and intertwined pain!"
Off-screen, Gon knelt helplessly, hope rising and shattering once again!
His expression remained impassive, yet he exuded a terrifyingly profound sense of despair.
He uttered quietly:
"Next, 'I will spend my entire life searching for her.'"
"Until I Kill her!'"
