Chapter 64

"Unbelievable! She actually foolishly gave up her own ability! She abandoned the chance to become a Nen user!"

As soon as he stepped out of the café, Baudelot couldn't help but exclaim.

In his view, not to mention a mere few billion zeni, even a hundred billion zeni couldn't compare to the importance of Nen!

"No! You're wrong! She's not foolish; she knows exactly what she wants. After all, with such an ability, she's like a child carrying a priceless treasure through a bustling city. Rather than waiting for those with ill intentions to take the treasure and kill her, it's more practical to sell it for a high price. At least by choosing the latter, she can get a large sum of money and save her life. Moreover, the reason her ability was born was to escape. How can you expect too much from someone who longs to escape?" Allen explained with deep meaning.

After all, the world of professional hunters isn't like the typical shonen manga worlds of Naruto, One Piece, or Bleach, where strength is paramount. It has a powerful government and even a United Nations called V5.

Even the Hunter Association has to follow the orders of V5 to some extent, obeying the commands of politicians.

After all, no matter how powerful a Nen user is, they can't withstand a nuclear bomb.

Not to mention nuclear weapons, even the King Ant, the symbol of the peak of personal combat power, was defeated by a small rose.

And the "Poor Man's Rose" is just a slightly more powerful biochemical weapon, easily obtainable by gangs and warlords, far less powerful than real thermonuclear warheads.

So in this world, becoming rich or powerful isn't necessarily much worse than becoming a Nen user.

At least the former has a much lower chance of encountering danger.

Baudelot nodded thoughtfully, "Alright, maybe you're right. A few billion zeni can ensure a life of comfort for the rest of her days. In a way, it could be considered turning a misfortune into a blessing."

"Exactly! If she's smart enough, she can use this money to invest and do business. Perhaps in a few years, she might become a wealthy woman. Come on, let's catch the next airship and aim to resolve all the bounties on this map within a month."

With that, Allen hailed a taxi and headed straight for the city's airship terminal.

Thanks to his Hunter license, he easily booked a ticket for the next airship to his next destination and used the time on the airship to study the two new abilities he had just obtained.

Especially the large, plush rabbit doll, which was absolutely worth spending a lot of time and effort to develop.

Not to mention, the ability to dispel wounds, negative states, and emotions through strong subjective rejection is already incredibly powerful.

Moreover, this ability seems to have the potential to expel others' evil thoughts.

In other words, it can achieve the effect of "dispelling evil" by increasing constraints and oaths.

The only problem is how to mobilize one's emotions to meet the minimum requirement for activating the ability.

Don't think it's easy!

Especially for someone like Allen, who is relatively calm and composed and doesn't easily experience intense emotional fluctuations, it requires long-term training.

However, after a period of training, he found that no matter how he stimulated his brain, the initial strong reaction would gradually become numb.

This means that all types of stimulation are only effective at first, and as the number of uses increases, the brain develops a certain cognitive resistance and becomes less sensitive to such stimuli.

Out of necessity, Allen had to think from the perspective of Nen. He ultimately abandoned the physical enhancement and transformation aspects of Zebro's "Ghoul" ability and converted it into a special aura to significantly enhance his neural perception, especially pain.

This way, as soon as he activated the ability and briefly removed the protection of the Hunter profession template, he could immediately feel an unbearable pain that no ordinary person could endure.

This intense pain would instantly transform into a strong subjective emotion, generating enough rejection to activate the ability.

In simple terms, it involves a certain degree of "self-harm" or "self-torture" to meet the prerequisite for activating the ability.

At the same time, the "Ghoul's" powerful cellular regeneration ability ensures that he won't easily die from any injuries.

With this combination, Allen finally completed the recombination of his new ability before disembarking the airship.

Standing on the bustling commercial street, he looked at the red dot on the map that was getting closer and closer, and muttered with a slight smile, "Mad Chemist—Pero, let's test my new ability on you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he shot out like an arrow from a bow!

In the crowd, a man wearing a trench coat and a hat suddenly had a map appear in his left hand. His face changed drastically, and he immediately activated his Nen ability.

In just a second, a large flask materialized in his other hand, filled with a dark green liquid that emitted a pungent odor.

"Poison? A Conjurer!" Allen's pupils dilated as he immediately summoned a blue alchemy stone, creating a strong gust of wind to drive away the surrounding pedestrians from the area where the battle might spread.

"Hmph! Naive! Do you think blowing these people away will protect them?" Pero sneered, gently shaking the flask and then throwing it.

The next second...

Boom!

The dark green liquid in the large flask exploded upon contact with the ground!

A red fireball rose into the sky!

Within a radius of several meters, all the walls, glass, and doors of the buildings collapsed in the explosion. Many nearby pedestrians were also affected and suffered minor injuries.

Moreover, the injured showed varying degrees of poisoning symptoms, and some even collapsed on the ground, vomiting and struggling to breathe due to the smoke from the explosion.

"Liquid explosive?! No! That's not right! There must be something else in it!"

Allen was clearly shocked by the bizarre explosion and immediately stopped in his tracks, sizing up the notorious criminal.

He is called notorious because the "Mad Chemist" Pero has repeatedly accepted commissions from warlords and extremist organizations to create explosions in densely populated areas, spreading toxic substances and causing the deaths of thousands of civilians. He is a deranged terrorist.

Moreover, his ability is very special. When pursued, he often uses the safety of civilians as leverage, causing many powerful bounty hunters to ultimately return empty-handed.

Even among A-rank criminals, he is one of the most dangerous and difficult to deal with.

"Ha ha ha ha! That's right!

My ability is an incredible chemical reaction!

Through my Conjuration ability, I can create a familiar chemical solution out of thin air, and then use my Transmutation ability to change its chemical properties, creating various phenomena that defy common sense.

For example, I can turn an inert solution that doesn't have explosive properties into something as volatile as nitroglycerin.

Or I can turn a non-toxic solution that quickly evaporates upon contact with air into a deadly poison that can kill in seconds.

With this ability, I can create an explosion in just a few minutes, spreading toxic substances over several kilometers.

What do you think? Now that you know this, do you still insist on capturing me?

If I use my full power, the area within several kilometers could become a barren hell, and tens of thousands of civilians, regardless of age or gender, could die.

They would die because of your recklessness and impulsiveness!

So I advise you to give up early. Otherwise, even if you catch me, the Hunter Association and the rulers of this country won't let you off."

Pero issued a meaningful threat.

From his cold, merciless eyes, it was clear that he was a complete egoist with no moral底线, who didn't care about the lives of others.
