The Ant King growled lowly, and an even more terrifying aura burst from his body.
This was his strongest state yet, combining his [Rage] with [Terpsichora].
His breathing grew heavier and heavier, finally reaching a level comparable to Mega Tyranitar.
After mastering the Guards' abilities, the Ant King had now caught up to Mega Tyranitar's power buffed by his [Dragon Dance].
Thanks to his incredible self-healing, the Ant King could use these abilities without suffering injury, making him the most powerful single entity revealed so far in the Hunter x Hunter world, an ultimate version of himself.
Under this overwhelming pressure, Ging and Netero felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
Their legs bent involuntarily, and all they could do was groan under the strain.
Suddenly, the Ant King vanished, and the aura that had filled the sky with thoughts disappeared along with him.
Mega Tyranitar scanned the area, using "en" to search, but couldn't find him anywhere.
Then, in an instant, the Ant King reappeared, right in front of Larry!
His fist, controlled by [Blackie Dance], grew larger and larger in Larry's view, about to strike him.
The Ant King had bypassed Mega Tyranitar to attack Larry directly.
Over the course of the battle, he had noticed the connection between Larry and the giant beast and decided to eliminate this human first.
Suddenly, the Ant King felt like he'd slipped into a different space where everything around him slowed down dramatically.
This was the old man's skill.
'This human can use it too?!'
The Ant King's expression shifted slightly, but he remained largely unfazed.
After all, this human's strength was far below the giant beast's, so even with this ability, it wouldn't matter.
Now that the Ant King was countless times stronger than before, such a skill would only slow time briefly.
Still, even in that moment, he clearly heard the words spoken by the young human standing before him.
"I thought you were going to die, but I never expected it to be like this," the voice sneered. "You really messed up this time, little ant!"
As the words dropped, two figures suddenly appeared behind Larry, one large, one small.
Despite their size difference, they shared one thing in common: an overwhelmingly powerful aura.
At that moment, these two auras descended onto the Ant King, pushing it into utter desperation.
It was as if two immovable mountains pressed down on it, trapping it completely and freezing it in place.
'Impossible! How can such terrifying power exist?'
The Ant King's body stiffened, feeling as helpless as a tiny insect facing a monstrous predator.
Inside, it roared in panic, but there was
Nothing it could do except wait for its inevitable end.
The Ant King felt as if it had been struck by two massive hammers simultaneously, suddenly appearing right in front of its opponents but unable to move a muscle. Its wide-eyed terror said it all, paralyzed by fear.
Ging and Netero weren't surprised by the Ant King's frozen state; they, too, sensed the overwhelming aura. This was absolute power.
Just the slightest hint of that presence was enough to stop every living thing in its tracks, suffocating them with the breath of death.
Cold sweat broke out over the Ant King's body as it became completely rigid, like a lifeless corpse.
The two figures standing silently behind Larry, one on each side, acted like unyielding guardians, like door gods protecting their master. They were fiercely loyal and would never allow harm to come to Larry.
To the Ant King, their strength was utterly overwhelming, reducing it to nothing more than a mere insect unworthy of attention.
Neither Ging nor Netero doubted why the Ant King remained motionless. They were themselves stunned by the two Pokemon's terrifying aura.
Unlike the Ant King, these two didn't release their power recklessly; instead, their presence filled the entire underground space with an oppressive force.
"Old man, is this what you mean by hidden strength?" one whispered.
"Today, I've truly witnessed what it means to be at the top," another replied.
"That kind of despairing aura... it's absolutely terrifying."
Ging stood frozen, his pupils the only part of him that moved, as if struck by a spell that left him completely immobilized.
But beneath his calm exterior, his heart was anything but still.
The shock hit him like a tidal wave, sweeping through every corner of his mind.
He was utterly stunned by the two incredibly powerful nen beast Larry had hidden away.
Larry truly deserved the title of the 'World's Strongest'. He was the real deal.
What Ging didn't realize was that Netero's fear matched his own.
Netero's instincts were screaming, 'I was right! Larry has more than one of these beasts!'
The strength Netero had just regained seemed to vanish instantly.
Facing two Pokemon like those made him feel like he did after using Zero during his prime, completely powerless.
After seeing Larry defeat Jade, he had wondered if Larry might have even more terrifying nen beast.
Now, it didn't seem impossible at all.
Even someone as powerful as Larry could call forth one beast after another, and Netero was no longer confident that Larry had revealed all of them.
In fact, he suspected Larry still had stronger nen beast hidden away.
At that moment, both Netero and Ging shared the same long-held thought: just how many nen beast does Larry really have? And how strong is the strongest one?
Every time they faced Larry, he seemed to unveil a new, more powerful creature.
His nen beast felt endless, and his strength clearly had no upper limit.
The power he wielded was beyond anything they could imagine.
These two men, considered the pinnacle of human strength in the world of Hunter x Hunter, were left stunned by the Pokemon before them.
Although one was large and the other small, their presence was equally imposing.
The size difference was striking, the smaller one looked like a standing doll, but its aura was just as fierce as its larger companion.
Its petite body was soft and seemed to exhale wisps of dark smoke, as if it were made of countless shadows.
Its bright orange-red eyes stood out sharply against its black form, marked by swirling cloud-like patterns.
This was the phantom Pokemon, Marshadow.
Besides Marshadow, which Larry had obtained during the fighting tournament, there was another Pokemon bred recently that also radiated terrifying power.
Genesect is a bipedal insect-like robot Pokemon, covered in a sleek metal she'll with a disc-shaped head.
Its entire body is purple, featuring two red eyes and a tooth-like structure beneath its face.
It has slender arms that end in sharp claws, gray circular marks on its shoulders, and gray stripes running along its abdomen.
Resembling a giant armored insect, Genesect boasts a powerful cannon mounted on its back.
