Three Rare-Level Blind Box

Just as Netero was about to thrust his fingers into his own chest, a light laugh suddenly echoed within the battlefield.

The timing was perfect, interrupting Netero just as he was preparing to take his own life. 

The fingers that were about to pierce his chest halted midair as if someone had stopped him from moving another inch.

"If you die here, Chairman..." 

A man's voice casually rang out: "The people from the Hunter Association will start shouting and demanding my life."

"You... came..." 

Netero's eyelids, which were so heavy that lifting them was a struggle, twitched slightly.

He wasn't surprised by the arrival of this person, although he had already anticipated such a scenario. 

However, what he was concerned about was…

"You shouldn't have come, Lan..."

Netero's tone lowered slightly, and the person who arrived could hear the complicated emotions in his voice.

"If I hadn't come, how could I possibly save your life, Chairman?" 

Lan slowly lifted his head: "Besides, if I didn't come, how could I deal with this guy in front of us?"

"Chairman, you're at a great age now. It's time to rest properly. Leave the rest to me. When you get older, you need to rest. This world is destined to be passed on to us young ones."

Lan gently patted Netero's worn-out body.

"Are you saying I'm old?" 

Netero responded: "I'm not at that stage yet where I need the younger generation to clean up my mess..."

Netero paused suddenly. It wasn't because of Lan's arrival or intentions but because of his current state. 

Just earlier, he was so drained that breathing felt like a struggle, but now... He could speak continuously without any pause.

Clearly, his body wasn't in the same state it was before. It seemed like he was gradually recovering.

And the reason for this change was right in the area where they were.

Netero slowly looked down at Lan's hand resting on his body.

He could distinctly feel waves of warm, restorative energy flowing from Lan's hand, spreading out and nourishing his body, gradually healing him!

"This power is...?" 

Netero felt his physical condition improving under this energy.

"This is my newly acquired healing power..." 

Lan smiled lightly: "Not bad, right?"

The reason Lan had come to this battlefield, besides saving Netero's life, was also due to something more important!

The blind box!!

As one of the most significant and thrilling plots in the Hunter X Hunter world, the place where Netero's abilities were showcased and where this battle would come to an end was naturally where a blind box would be present!

And not just any blind box, but the top-tier kind!!

Before arriving at this battlefield, Lan had already collected quite a few blind boxes.

The rare blind box that appeared during the battle between Menthuthuyoupi and others at the central staircase in the royal palace during the struggle between Ging and Shaiapouf and when Neferpitou treated Komugi in the guest room on the second floor!!

With three red blind boxes in hand, Lan's visit was already a massive success!!

And the ability that was currently restoring Netero's withered body came from one of those red blind boxes, the one opened when Neferpitou treated Komugi.

[Obtained a Rare-level blind box; would you like to open it?]

[Opened successfully, gained: Majin Buu's healing ability. (Source World: Dragon Ball)]

Previously, Lan had acquired Majin Buu's Super Regeneration. 

Now, he has obtained his healing abilities as well.

Majin Buu was a creature that had existed since ancient times, having gone through repeated outbreaks and long periods of dormancy, absorbing evil human elements and becoming increasingly ferocious.

Even though Babidi only knew how to awaken him from a long sleep, Majin Buu could heal injuries just by touching someone's body, restoring them with almost miraculous precision.

"Too bad, I only acquired the healing ability, but not the Mend Beam..." 

Lan observed Netero's gradually recovering body, his gaze pausing on the severed limbs of the other party.

Majin Buu also had a Mend Beam ability that could regenerate severed limbs, and it was because of this that Babidi was able to repair his half-dismembered body after Vegeta's self-destruction.

Though this healing ability wouldn't fully restore Netero to his previous state, it was enough to greatly help his body recover.

It couldn't be said to fully restore him to his prime, especially since Netero's final blow, though successful and landed on the Ant King, didn't cause any significant damage, just some superficial wounds.

For Netero, this was a complete loss. 

It was not just a loss in the battle but also a loss in terms of the sheer difference in power between him and Meruem. 

His almost century-long accumulation of power was utterly insufficient against the Ant King.

This was a massive blow, both physically and mentally.

For a martial artist, especially someone like Netero, such a defeat could be incredibly difficult to recover from.

Physical wounds could heal, but damage to the spirit was much harder to mend.

But…

"Chairman, you've worked so hard for so long... It's probably time for you to retire and rest properly..."
