Koruto quickly bowed. "Loki-sama, the Chimera Ant squad leaders have discovered that powerful humans are hunting them down."
"I've contacted a few Chimera Ants. They all plan to seek refuge with the King, hoping to gain power from him."
"Gain power?" Ging asked, curious about this idea.
Koruto explained, "After fighting Loki-sama, Knuckle, Shoot, Morel, and Pakunoda, the squad leaders realized that Nen can be used to create powerful abilities. So, to fight back against you..."
"They're choosing to seek refuge with the King, hoping to gain abilities from him, since Neferpitou has already demonstrated their abilities. She probably knows how to help them develop their own powers."
Ging nodded, chuckling. "I see. The Chimera Ants, after fusing with human genes, have gained human intelligence and learned to exploit their own kind! Interesting."
'Even Ging...' Morel had always thought that he and Ging shared the same views.
But Ging was actually allowing Loki to run wild.
Loki nodded to Ging, then turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the wind.
After Loki left, Morel asked Ging, "Why are you letting Loki run wild at such a crucial time?"
Ging turned back from watching Loki disappear, saying calmly, "Because Loki said he felt it was okay."
"Those controlled puppets are carrying out some kind of order. We can't let them do that in peace!"
"We can save some people, at least. Isn't that a good thing, Morel?"
Saving people! Regardless of what mission those puppets were carrying out, they couldn't be allowed to succeed. Saving as many innocent people as possible was the right thing to do.
But the main focus was the King.
At least, Morel believed that killing the King should be the priority.
And Ging's reason for trusting Loki was too flimsy.
Just because he "felt" it was okay!
"But Ging-san, you're trusting Loki's judgment simply because he 'feels' it's okay. Isn't that too reckless?"
Knov was also worried. They had risked their lives to come here and fight the Chimera Ants.
They carried the hopes of the Hunter Association and the lives of millions of people in East Gorteau.
If the King was alerted in advance and prepared, all their efforts would be wasted.
Ging smiled and pulled Meleoron forward. "This is Meleoron. In Pakunoda's words, he's a Chimera Ant squad leader that Loki has recruited."
"Show them your ability."
The others were confused. Why was Ging suddenly talking about Meleoron?
Meleoron, annoyed by Ging's constant desire for him to demonstrate his power, was still obedient.
"God's Alibi, activate!"
Nen surged.
Meleoron vanished before their very eyes, leaving no trace, not even a hint of his presence.
Morel was stunned and used En to sense the surrounding area.
His En range wasn't large, but it was sufficient.
"Meleoron, try to attack Morel!"
Bang! As soon as Ging finished speaking, Morel felt something touch his face, but it didn't hurt.
Morel was confused. "Why couldn't I sense him at all, even with my En active? There was no trace of him."
This time, instead of Ging explaining, Meleoron revealed himself and described his ability.
After hearing Meleoron's explanation—God's Alibi and God's Alibi—Knuckle's eyes lit up.
"A powerful ability."
Morel stared at Meleoron, scrutinizing him.
He hadn't expected a Chimera Ant squad leader to possess such a unique ability.
Seeing Morel's expression, Ging knew he understood.
The potential of someone working with Meleoron was immense.
Morel pointed at Meleoron. "Is that why Loki brought him back?"
Ging nodded. "More or less."
"That's great. With God's Alibi, Ging and Loki can approach the King silently and deliver a fatal blow without warning."
Hearing Morel's words, Ging shook his head.
"Loki wants Meleoron to work with Knuckle."
Knuckle pointed at himself, looking confused.
At that moment, Knov realized the key point.
Loki and Ging's power was too great. Meleoron's ability might not function properly.
For example, God's Alibi might suddenly deactivate! The others also understood after a moment of consideration.
Then, Morel asked Meleoron, "How did Loki find you?"
Everyone was suddenly curious.
Yes! This ability was so powerful.
Even En couldn't detect it.
How had Loki found Meleoron?
Hearing this question, Meleoron's face fell.
"Loki said he could clearly sense Meleoron's presence!"
What? He could sense God's Alibi? Even Pakunoda and Feitan, who had always maintained a calm demeanor, looked incredulous.
This wasn't a matter of strength.
How did Loki do it? Everyone's faces seemed to ask the same question.
Ging looked into the distance. "I think it's probably his special talent."
"Loki's instinct?"
Morel asked uncertainly.
Ging turned back to the group. "I have a special talent of my own."
"If I experience a striking-based attack once, I can mimic it with 70-80% accuracy. It's not my Nen ability; it's my special talent."
Ging's words surprised Morel. He hadn't expected Ging to have such a powerful talent.
While it seemed incredible, at least it was a visible ability.
But Ging said Loki's special talent was his instinct. "Don't doubt it. He can sense even an ability as broken as God's Alibi. That unique sixth sense is definitely a special talent."
Ging said so confidently, looking so convinced, that Morel and Knov were still skeptical.
Meleoron spoke up. "You don't believe it? That... kid named Loki, he really did break my ability with just his instincts. Even I believe that his ability to sense things is definitely a special talent."
Even Meleoron himself believed it.
This was too unbelievable. It was difficult for everyone to accept.
When Loki arrived at the nearest town, he could see Neferpitou's Nen ability from afar.
Terpsichora! The puppets it controlled were herding all the people in the town towards the palace.
'The King's human soldier selection plan has reached this stage?' Although Ging and the others hadn't received news, they didn't understand the purpose of these actions.
But Loki, having read the original story, knew that the Royal Guards were selecting excellent humans for the King.
Then, using Pouf's ability, they would transform these selected humans into Ant soldiers for the King.
This selection process was incredibly cruel.
Those who weren't selected would die.
Only one out of a hundred people would be chosen.
Even those selected wouldn't survive.
Pouf would use his ability to transform them into Chimera Ant soldiers.
This selection process was filled with cruelty and bloodshed.
Loki jumped to the top of a large clock tower in the center of town.
He watched Terpsichora control the humans, herding them out of the town in an orderly fashion.
"Let's give them a little hint."
He wanted to come out and deal with these controlled humans.
It wasn't just to save them.
He also wanted to kill as many Chimera Ants as possible.
And eliminating these puppet soldiers would serve as a warning to the Royal Guards.
Loki raised his hand, and a flame appeared on his fingertip.
The small flame, the size of a marble, broke free from Loki's control.
