Chapter 755 I Was About To Say The Same To You

Whether it was the Chimera Ant extermination team locked in fierce combat or Knov and Palm who were in the midst of evacuating hostages, all of them could clearly sense the shift in Aura coming from the palace's central hall.

Only two Auras were present in that location.

One belonged to the Chimera Ant King, and the other to Netero.

In terms of pure intensity and presence, it was easy to distinguish between the two.

The Aura belonging to the King, not to mention its overwhelming power, radiated a malice so extreme it practically served as the Chimera Ants' signature.

With this as a premise, when Netero's Aura suddenly weakened rapidly, the members of the Chimera Ant extermination team could immediately surmise that Netero might be on the verge of defeat.

And with that came an emotional jolt!

'How could it happen so quickly...'

The members of the Chimera Ant extermination team were not aware of the changes in the King's strength during this period of time.

Therefore, it was originally expected that Netero would be able to suppress the King with the powerful 100-Type Guanyin, just like he did in their first fight.

Even if he were ultimately outmatched, with Netero's strength, he will surely be able to hold on for a long time.

But it has only been ten minutes since the battle began...

The sudden change in the plan made the members of the Chimera Ant extermination team feel the breath of death.

It wasn't that they were worried that the King would turn on them once he finished with Netero, but they were thinking of the Poor Man's Rose in Netero's body.

Given their current positions, if the bomb explodes in the next minute, then...

Aside from Knov and Palm, who were actively moving hostages and could retreat to the Fourth-Dimensional Apartment immediately, the rest of them wouldn't be able to escape the blast radius in time.

'Is it the Zero Hand? So soon...'

From where he stood, Moses could faintly see a sudden eruption of Aura from the 100-Type Guanyin, which was as dazzling as a star.

That was undoubtedly Netero's final killer move.

And the moment it appeared, it means that Netero has reached a point where he can no longer retreat, and he can only use this do-or-die move.

But Moses knew very well...

Even if all Netero's Aura was concentrated into one point and released with Zero Hand, it would not be enough to incapacitate the King, and it wouldn't even be enough to seriously injure him.

'I need to move the old man out before the Zero Hand ends!'

An invisible sense of danger loomed over the palace, and among everyone present, Moses alone possessed the most complete picture of what was happening.

Only he could foresee the outcome in advance and react accordingly.

He couldn't let Netero die here, and he couldn't allow the Poor Man's Rose to detonate at this moment...

So, Moses no longer bothered dealing with Pouf, whose fighting power had been greatly weakened by him.

He made the decision in a very short time. He first condensed a unit of shadow on his palm, and then threw it towards Netero's position with his backhand.

Since the beginning of the battle, Pouf had been at a disadvantage. The repeated blows he'd taken had reduced his overall strength to below 50%.

Now, seeing Moses launching the shadow towards the location of the King, he immediately flew over with bloodshot eyes.

"Annoying."

Moses glanced coldly.

Before throwing the shadow out, he had already anticipated Pouf's reaction.

So he, who was well prepared, suddenly burst forth with a speed even greater than before, and under Pouf's slightly astonished gaze, he instantly flashed and slashed with his sword.

Shhhk!

The sharp blade pierced through Pouf's face.

The next moment,

A straight, flame-like burst of Aura exploded from Pouf's body, and then his entire form was violently torn in two.

But Moses, who swung the sword, did not even look back at Pouf's miserable state, but directly exchanged positions with the shadow he had thrown.

Swoosh-

Moses reappeared above the ruins of the central hall.

At this moment, the 100-Type Guanyin had just released its final wisp of Aura, and its enormous, gaping maw slowly closed.

Right below the 100-Type Guanyin, Netero's eye sockets were so sunken that his pupils were submerged in shadows, and almost no luster could be seen.

The body that originally had visible muscles under the 'heart' t-shirt now looked withered and looked like a balloon that suddenly deflated.

This is the price of using 100-Type Guanyin: Zero Hand, or more accurately, the result of exhausting all his Potential Aura.

Netero's dying and emaciated body now resembled what a normal person might look like at over a hundred years old.

Many times...

People would forget that Netero was actually over a hundred years old.

It is because Netero uses his Aura to make his physical condition look younger than his actual age.

But now-

It is a return to the essence in a certain sense.

Looking at Netero's current state, Moses's expression subtly shifted.

At this time, 100-Type Guanyin gradually faded away and disappeared.

And right in front of 100-Type Guanyin, in a pit with a large impact area, the King was maintaining a defensive posture with his arms crossed.

There were wounds all over his body.

But each one was merely superficial. Although there are a lot of wounds, the amount of bleeding is basically negligible.

From this, it can also be seen that the damage caused by Zero Hand to the King is very limited.

Although Moses was already mentally prepared...

But when he thought back to the intensity of the Aura that erupted when Netero used Zero Hand, and then look at the state of the Chimera Ant King in front of you, he couldn't help but feel how utterly incomprehensible these gene-absorbing Chimera Ants were.

Netero had sensed Moses's arrival, but he didn't shift his gaze. He still stared at the King, whose body was partly obscured by the fading dust.

'Even the Zero Hand...'

There was clear silence in the field, but a sigh seemed to appear from Netero's lips.

At this point, the full scope of the King's power had been thoroughly carved into Netero's soul.

At this point, there was only one thing left to do, which is flipping the table and activated Poor Man's Rose.

Only that could end the King's life here and now.

As for Moses, who had arrived beside him, and the rest of the team still locked in bloody battle...

Netero could only offer his deepest apology in his heart.

Compared to eliminating the threat posed by the Chimera Ant King, the sacrifices of the Chimera Ant extermination team were... insignificant.

The most important thing now was to prevent the King from continuing to 'grow'...

This was the only thought Netero had now.

After two rounds of direct engagement, he had come to fully comprehend the terror that was the King.

It wasn't just the sheer individual strength, but also that incomprehensible rate of growth.

If the Chimera Ants, led by this King, were allowed to keep developing, human civilization could very well face extinction.

Because these Chimera Ants have absorbed human genes, they essentially have individual strength greater than that of humans, and also possess the same intelligence as humans.

So…

If the Chimera Ants were allowed to understand everything about humans more deeply, it would be far too late for regret.

As these thoughts raced through his mind, Netero suppressed the feeling of weakness coming from all parts of his body and took a slow step towards the King in front of him.

This battle-

Would end with his death and defeat. And with it, he would take away the King's victory.

"Moses… At least I can still say sorry to you..."

As if suddenly remembering Moses's presence, Netero whispered in a rare, apologetic tone after taking that step forward.

If possible, he didn't want Moses to be here at this moment.

But since Moses had come, he could at least express his apology.

"What a coincidence. I was just about to say the same to you, Chairman Netero..."
