It was an attack of terrifying power and immense range.
Netero's 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't possibly block such a wide-area attack; there would always be gaps where the flames could penetrate. Fire isn't solid; it doesn't stop just because part of it is struck.
Loki, unable to overcome Netero's speed, used this wide-ranging attack, putting immense pressure on Netero.
But facing this looming danger, Netero laughed.
"Let's see who prevails, little Loki! You can probably guess my only option."
He slowly clasped his hands together.
The instant the Sharingan detected Netero's attack, Loki threw the Flame Emperor. The massive fireball, its friction with the air creating a sound like a monstrous roar, plummeted towards Netero.
The moment Loki unleashed the Flame Emperor, Netero countered!
"Ninety-Ninth Hand!!!"
To block the Flame Emperor, a single strike wouldn't suffice. Only the Ninety-Ninth Hand among 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva's techniques had a comparable range.
Facing the descending fireball, 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva's arms moved, striking again and again at the Flame Emperor. Time seemed to freeze. Golden light flashed against the dazzling fire. The auras of both were terrifying.
Before impact, violent air currents swept outwards, scattering rocks and branches.
The Chimera Ants, hidden in the forest, focused on the fire and golden light.
A terrifying aura pressed down, but they were too captivated to fully register it.
The Flame Emperor exploded! The massive golden puppet deflected the flames with its numerous arms. The temperature soared as scattered flames rained down like a fiery storm.
Red and gold light intertwined, creating a breathtaking spectacle. The Chimera Ants' breaths hitched; they stared, afraid to miss a moment.
This sight made Neferpitou realize something: humans might be small and frail, but their weak bodies held limitless potential.
'To survive in this world, humanity must be eradicated,' she thought.
Only then would the soon-to-be-born King be safe.
The other Chimera Ants were still in shock. Compared to these humans, the humans they'd casually hunted were different species. They finally understood human strength. Before truly powerful humans, their pride and power were insignificant. They were still insignificant ants.
Boom boom boom!!!
The flames fell, explosions and roars mixing with the wind. 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva frantically moved, preventing the flames from reaching Netero.
But Netero felt restless. A dark shadow moved through the flames, seeking an opening to attack. Netero watched intently. After the Ninety-Ninth Hand, the Flame Emperor finally dissipated. The shadow lunged.
Netero frowned. "Third Hand!"
The attack landed, but a whooshing sound came from his left.
Netero's eyes widened. 'A trap!' He launched another palm strike towards the sound.
Bang bang!!!
Both attacks hit, but Netero's eyes widened. The figure wasn't Loki; it was a Nen beast—Zenki, wielding a red battle-axe! It was shattered by 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva, dissolving into Nen particles. Meanwhile, Goki also began to dissipate. This was the briefest of moments, a fraction of a second after Netero's attack! The floating flames condensed into Loki's right arm. Netero's eyes widened, preparing to attack, but before his hands moved, the gleaming blade was at his throat.
Loki's cold voice echoed. "Shoot to kill Shinsō."
Swoosh!!! A white flash accompanied the sound of an instant attack. Netero's black eyes were filled with white light.
Netero fell, looking at Loki with weariness. "Excellent consecutive attacks! You used fire to make me think you'd found a way to counter 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva, then used Nen beasts to distract me, tricking me twice! You'd already become flames, hidden amongst them! What surprised me most was that you could attack even with only part of your body reformed."
Black blood spurted from Netero's mouth; his face paled.
"Clever use of abilities! You struck me. Next time, I won't fall for it!"
Netero sighed, chuckling wryly. "But you only needed it to work once. You won, little Loki. I lost!"
Loki blinked. Netero had conceded. "I only won because of my abilities." He wasn't flattering Netero. If Netero knew elementalization could be used like this, he wouldn't have been defeated so easily. Loki's surprise attack was key. No one would expect a partially reformed body to attack.
They stared at each other. Loki wasn't in a hurry. Netero looked at Loki, imagining what could have been. If he hadn't let Loki go… so much would have been different. Netero had envisioned Loki growing stronger, surpassing him, inheriting his will, and becoming Chairman. Such a beautiful vision. Netero closed his eyes. It was just a fantasy.
Knov's voice echoed as he sped towards Netero. But Netero shouted, "Stop! Don't come closer!"
Loki's gaze swept towards Knov and Morel, who were rushing towards them, followed by Hisoka and the others at a distance.
