The scene at the construction site—a mountain of corpses—was filmed and uploaded to various online intelligence websites.
Loki's name became even more infamous, almost synonymous with the devil.
Even ordinary people knew about this terrifying killer.
One of the two survivors from Loki's attack was found.
"You want to know how strong he is?" the survivor, masked and using a voice changer, asked in a dimly lit room.
"Do you know Destruction Cannon, the man who hunts criminals?
He couldn't even make Loki take a step back.
Within an hour of the video, we found the devil.
Nearly a hundred experts gathered—Nen users, professional bounty hunters.
We didn't even get to fight him.
How did he kill us?
Two monsters, red and blue—Nen beasts. In minutes, we were..."
"Annihilated."
Everyone in the room froze. Nearly a hundred Nen users annihilated in minutes, using only Nen beasts? His strength was unimaginable.
"Fire!"
"We didn't even see the flames."
"That devil isn't something ordinary Nen users can handle. To kill him, you need top-tier Hunters."
"If you want to kill him for fame and fortune, run when you see him.
If caught, don't resist. Pray."
He stood. "Believe me. His Nen is beyond your imagination. Immense, like the ocean.
His aura alone feels like a mountain on your back. He's a true..."
"Monster!!!"
Around the world, those who'd considered confronting Loki changed their minds after seeing the video and the images of the carnage.
The idea of using a human wave tactic was abandoned. S
eriously? He wiped out a hundred Nen users in minutes, including many well-known ones, even Destruction Cannon.
They were either smashed to pulp or cut in half.
Fighting him was suicide. 80% of Nen users couldn't handle him.
"Menchi, that kid—the only one who passed your Hunter Exam, right?"
Buhara and Menchi were on a flying ship, discussing the recent events after returning from a Gourmet Hunting trip.
They learned about the terrifying incident involving the kid who'd passed their Hunter Exam.
Menchi nodded. "Yes."
"Loki! I remember that kid. I saw his potential."
"But he exceeded my expectations."
Loki had only been a Hunter for a short time and had already caused such chaos.
Buhara smiled. "Terrifying, but it's over."
Menchi looked at Buhara questioningly.
"That kid hasn't been using Nen for long." Buhara smiled.
"Nen power and cost are proportional.
He gained such power quickly, so the cost must be high."
Menchi tapped her chin. "You mean he used Restrictions and Oaths?"
Buhara nodded. "Otherwise, his growth is too fast."
Menchi wasn't entirely sure. She'd felt the terror of his Nen awakening on the ship.
From the start, he was beyond normal.
Menchi looked out the window. "I wonder what Chairman Netero thinks."
Menchi mentioned Netero, and Netero himself learned about Loki's actions from Beans's report.
After Beans finished, Netero put down his teacup, a worried look on his face.
"I seem to have released a terrible monster."
Beans was surprised. "Chairman, why?"
"That kid awakened his Nen because of my Nen."
During the Hunter Exam, Netero's Nen caused Loki's Nen awakening.
If he'd continued the exam at a slower pace, he might not be like this now.
Beans was silent. He didn't know how to comfort Netero, who had never faced such a situation.
"Chairman, it's not your fault."
Netero remained silent, his worry palpable. Beans tried to change the subject.
"Chairman, Ging... he said he can't attend the Twelve Zodiacs meeting."
Mentioning Ging, Netero's expression changed.
"What else did he say?"
Beans hesitated. "Ging said, 'It's your problem, old man. Why involve the Zodiacs? Are you too old to handle it yourself?'" He added, "Those are his exact words."
Netero was startled. 'That brat Ging saw through me!' He chuckled. It was his problem; Loki was someone he'd mentored.
Netero hadn't made him call him Master, but Loki was essentially his student. He was responsible for Loki's current state. Now he wanted others to solve it.
Netero called the Zodiacs meeting to deal with Loki, but also to address the Hunter Association's situation.
Loki was just an excuse. But Ging not coming was fine with Netero.
