The Ant King felt a wave of dizziness wash over his mind, as if struck by two massive hamrs simultaneously.
In an instant, he appeared before his opponent.
Yet he stood frozen in place, unable to even tremble—only his terror-stricken face told the whole story.
Neither Ging nor Netero questioned why the Ant King remained motionless, for they too were overwheld by the sa terrifying presence!
It was absolute power!
With just a wisp of its aura, every living being present was paralyzed, suffocating under the weight of Death itself!
Cold sweat rapidly beaded across the Ant King’s body as he stiffened completely, like a corpse.
All because of the two figures standing silently behind Akira!
One on his left, one on his right—they stood like sentinels, barring all danger from reaching him.
Loyal to the core, they would never allow anything to harm their master—Akira!
To the Ant King, their strength was overwhelmingly absolute.
Before them, he was nothing more than an insignificant ant.
’’Old man... is this the hidden power you ntioned?" Ging stood rooted to the spot, his body rigid—only his pupils could move, as if he was under a binding spell.
Shock surged through him like a tidal wave, drowning every corner of his thoughts.
He was completely shaken by the two imnsely powerful Nen beasts Akira had kept hidden.
Akira truly deserved the title of ’World Strongest’.
He was the real deal!
What Ging didn’t know was that Netero’s astonishnt was no less than his own.
’I knew it!’
’Akira doesn’t just have one Nen beast like that—he has more!!’
The strength Netero had just recovered seed to vanish in an instant.
Facing the two Pokemon, even at his peak, he felt as powerless as he had after unleashing Zero Hand.
Ever since Akira defeated Jed, Netero had wondered—did Akira possess even more terrifying Nen beasts?
Now, it seed all too possible!
Even beings of such unfathomable power—Akira could summon them one after another.
Now, Netero couldn’t even be certain Akira didn’t have more.
Quite the opposite.
He suspected Akira absolutely had even stronger Nen beasts yet to be revealed!
At that mont, the sa thought flashed through both Netero and Ging’s minds—a question they had pondered long ago.
Just how many Nen beasts did Akira have? And how strong was the strongest among them?
Every ti they interacted with Akira, he seed to unveil new, even mightier Nen beasts.
His collection appeared endless, their power seemingly limitless—far beyond anything they could imagine!
The two individuals considered the pinnacle of humanity in the world of Hunters were left in awe by the Pokemon.
Though one was large and the other small, their auras were equally matched.
The height difference between them was stark—the smaller one looked like a standing doll.
But the aura it exuded was no weaker than the one beside it.
Its petite fra was incredibly light, with wisps of dark mist drifting from its body, as if composed of countless black fus.
A pair of orange-red eyes stood out starkly against the surrounding darkness of its form.
Several distinct markings adorned its body, resembling coiled clouds.
This was the Mythical Ghost Pokemon—Marshadow!
Aside from the Marshadow obtained at the Martial Arts Tournant, there was another Pokemon with equally terrifying presence.
This was the Pokemon born from this gathering!
It was a bipedal insectoid robotic Pocket Monster, encased in tallic armor with a disc-shaped head.
Its entire body was purple, with two red eyes and structures resembling teeth beneath them.
Its slender arms ended in sharp claws, while gray circular patterns adorned its shoulders and gray stripes marked its abdon.
Its build resembled that of a giant insect, its body wrapped in purple armor, with an astonishingly powerful cannon mounted on its back.
This was the Legendary Mythical Bug Pokemon—Genesect.
As a rare Bug-type legendary Pokemon, Genesect was the pride of all Bug-type Pokemon.
Just as Akira had guessed, the born Pokemon was of the Bug-type—and of exceptionally high rank.
This was his second Legendary Pokemon and his second SS-tier Pokemon!
Na: Genesect
Ability: Download
Type: Bug, Steel
Strength: SS
Moves: Techno Blast, Lock-On, Zap Cannon, Self-Destruct, Simple Beam...
As a Legendary Pokemon, Genesect, like Marshadow, possessed its own unique move.
[Techno Blast]: Fires a beam of light at the opponent. Its type changes based on the Drive it holds.
This was why [Techno Blast] was Genesect’s signature move—the key lay in the term [Drive].
Genesect itself was an ancient Bug-type Pokemon that existed 300 million years ago, feared as the ultimate hunter.
Unlike ordinary bugs, Genesect was a colossal insect, its body encased in purple armor.
Later, after modified by Team Plasma, it was outfitted with a cannon on its back, greatly enhancing its firepower.
The terrifying cannon on its back could be equipped with different Drives, altering the type of ’Techno Blast’.
Without a Drive, ’Techno Blast’ would default to the Normal-type.
There were four types of Drives: Shock, Burn, Chill, and Douse.
What astonished Akira the most was this: Genesect birth had co with all four different Drives!
This was the first ti a Pokemon had been born alongside its held item.
Perhaps Genesect was only complete when it possessed its Drives?
Would there be more Pokemon born with their signature items in the future?
For instance, Groudon appearing with the Red Orb, enabling Primal Reversion right away?
Or Arceus manifesting with all its Plates?
Genesect appearance revealed another pattern to Akira—Pokemon items could indeed manifest alongside them.
****
Slowly collecting his thoughts, Akira turned his gaze to the Ant King, whose face was filled with shock.
"Ant King, though I regret to say it, it seems your reign has co to an end. Do you have any last words?"
As he spoke, the two Pokemon withdrew most of their auras, allowing the Ant King to relax slightly and speak with difficulty.
Nearby, Netero and Ging finally caught their breath, their gazes also turning toward the scene.
The Ant King quietly observed Akira, the fury on his face completely vanishing, replaced by acceptance.
He understood perfectly—there was no hope of victory left.
If facing that colossal beast had still stirred defiance within him, allowing for a fight to the Death ... Before these two auras, all his forr arrogance had utterly dissipated.
Against such an absolute disparity in power, even his formidable regenerative abilities ant nothing.
The Ant King knew that if they willed it, these beings could obliterate him in an instant.
After a long silence, a figure surfaced in the Ant King’s clouded eyes and he spoke with faint emotion.
"Komugi..."
Devoid of spirit, his voice grew even more subdued, his throat rasping as if scraped by blades.
Yet Akira understood perfectly, nodding in response.
"I’ll ensure Komugi is taken care of. She’ll never need to worry about anything again—she can devote herself entirely to Gungi. And she’ll never learn the true identity of the ’Supre Commander’ who played Gungi with her."
Hearing this, the Ant King gave a slight nod, the conflict in his eyes fading considerably.
This... was enough.
****
Within the underground space, only Genesect and the Ant King remained—Akira, Ging, and Netero had all vanished.
The three had retreated into the digital world, as the aftermath of the coming attack would be beyond their capacity to endure.
The Ant King’s regenerative abilities were too formidable—to truly kill it required either Marshadow or Genesect to act.
ga Tyranitar alone couldn’t accomplish this.
Thus, Akira had Genesect deliver the final blow.
A Pokemon born from these events would deliver the coup de grâce to the Ant King born of these sa events.
From within the digital world, the three observed the scene unfolding through the screen.
An SS-rank attack—even Akira had never witnessed one before.
He was intensely curious about the scale of destruction it might unleash.
But facing an Ant King that hadn’t even reached SS- rank, Genesect likely wouldn’t need to exert full power, presumably holding back sowhat.
Genesect’s crimson eyes flickered with piercing light as it slightly crouched, aligning the cannon on its back towards the distant Ant King.
Countless streams of pure white Aura converged in one direction.
As wave after wave of refined aura channeled into the weapon, the pitch-black depths of the cannon’s barrel began emitting faint glimrs of light.
The radiance was immaculately pure, yet any living being that beheld it would tremble uncontrollably.
Even before firing, the re leakage of energy during charging was enough to paralyze countless creatures with terror.
For this was an attack of extre lethality!
The Ant King stared blankly at the increasingly bright cannon, his dim eyes illuminated by its glow.
Only now did the Ant King have a mont to ponder his own na.
ruem.
What did this na signify?
What he didn’t know was that this na ant "the light that illuminates all."
A rather fitting coincidence given the current scene.
As he gazed at the impending beam, countless thoughts raced through the Ant King’s mind, replaying every mont from his birth until now.
This was his life flashing before his eyes.
mories flickered like slides in his mind, finally settling on the image of a girl.
Even now, the one he ultimately cared for remained that perpetually sniffling, disheveled girl—Komugi.
"How I wish..."
"To play one final ga of gungi..."
The Ant King’s murmurs were completely drowned out by the overwhelming beam attack.
"BOOM!!!"
A pure white light of extre intensity erupted from Genesect’s triangular cannon barrel.
What began as a slender beam instantly expanded into a massive pillar of light upon leaving the barrel!
Far surpassing even the Hyper Beam previously unleashed by ga Gardevoir!
The Normal-type move—Techno Blast!
The blindingly bright energy beam resembled a ferocious white dragon, roaring towards the Ant King.
Everything in its path bore marks as though struck by nuclear explosions, its devastating power truly horrifying!
The spectators watching the screen felt their scalps tingle.
The beam instantly engulfed the Ant King, obliterating him completely—not even ashes remained—while simultaneously annihilating the entire underground space!
Beneath the deafening roar ca a series of explosions!
Countless pillars, earth and stones were swept into the explosions caused by the beam, utterly reduced to nothingness!
A single casual shot had completely destroyed the entire underground space!
But the impact of the beam extended far beyond this.
The shockwaves of the explosions grew increasingly violent, not content with just the underground space—they spread to countless areas above ground.
By this point, Genesect had already been recalled by Akira, leaving no living beings present.
From the epicenter, the explosions expanded outward rapidly, blasting several miles of land into the sky within monts!
Most areas were instantly vaporized into endless dust by the intense heat!
Following this, a mushroom cloud rose steadily.
The sky filled with dust as if from a volcanic eruption, shooting to unimaginable heights in an instant, accompanied by bursts of explosive flas.
The yellow-and-black mushroom cloud was streaked with flickering flas of varying intensity, creating an eerily beautiful spectacle.
Yet this dazzling display brought no joy—only profound terror.
****
Outside the palace of the Republic East Gorteau, the Ant King’s aura had vanished the mont the two Pokemon appeared, giving the group a chance to catch their breath.
"Whew~ That aura earlier was seriously bad news!" Knov wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.
Morel was just about to say sothing when Knov suddenly pointed toward the wilderness, his face filled with shock as he shouted.
"Look! What’s that?!"
Everyone turned to look.
What they saw nearly scared the shit out of them.
An enormous mushroom cloud was slowly rising into the sky and an unprecedented explosion was ravaging the distant horizon!
"BOOM!!"
After a stunned silence, an earth-shattering blast reached their ears from afar.
At the sa ti, Morel and the others experienced sharp pain radiating from their ears throughout their bodies.
They quickly covered their ears with Aura to prevent permanent hearing damage.
"What the hell just happened?!"
"Was that so kind of massive bomb?"
They exchanged uneasy glances, their hearts tightening again as they watched the distant catastrophe.
They all knew—that was the direction where Chairman Netero and the others were fighting.
Coupled with this explosion, it was hard not to think of a "mutual destruction" scenario.
Could it be...?
After what felt like an eternity, the deafening roar finally subsided, allowing them to speak normally again.
"That should be the direction where Chairman Netero was fighting, right?"
"I’ve never even heard of a bomb of this magnitude" Killua remarked, his expression unusually grave as he glanced at the lingering mushroom cloud.
"To my knowledge, no bomb in the world can achieve this level of destruction."
"Even if multiple bombs were used to create this effect, it’s hard to imagine how many would be needed here," Knov adjusted his glasses, struggling to steady his voice as he spoke, his tone laced with disbelief.
"Regardless, an explosion of this scale ans the battle must have taken a drastic turn."
"The question is—did the Ant King die?" Morel bent down to pick up his large pipe, his voice heavy with concern.
"I think I know the answer to that" leoron relaxed slightly and raised his hand.
"Just now, my life force stopped draining away."
Hearing this, Knov and Morel froze for a mont before their faces lit up with overwhelming
They had both been present when leoron made his Restriction and Vow, so they knew exactly what this ant.
leoron’s Restriction and Vow dictated that only one side could survive.
Since his life force was no longer being drained, it could only an one thing—
The Ant King was dead!
