Time seemed to slow down at this moment-
The giant golden Guanyin that was conjured by Nen did not vanish after delivering two strikes. Instead, it remained, standing solemnly behind Moses. Beneath its base was a golden lotus platform, perfectly serving as Moses's foothold in the air.
This breathtaking sight was captured by the cameras and broadcasted across countless screens.
Zeno, Silva, Milluki and other members of the Zoldyck Family at Kukuroo Mountain saw it.
Cheadle, Pyon, Kanzai, Sanbica, Wright, Fiona and the others, who were worried about Moses, saw it as they were heading to the Heavens Arena.
The Zodiacs' members such as Pariston, Saccho, and Botobai, who are in the Hunter Association's Headquarters, saw it.
Ging and Kite saw it while squatting in front of an old-fashioned TV in a food stall with questionable hygiene conditions.
Netero, who was taking a break in his private tea room, and Beans, who is drenched in sweat, saw it as well.
…
"That's the Chairman's 100-Type Guanyin, right?!"
"How is it possible!?"
"What on earth is going on?"
"Hey, hey, are you kidding me?"
"This…"
…
Except for Netero, who had assisted Moses in creating the mask, and Kanzai, who had witnessed this scene with his own eyes before…
Even Pariston and Ging, who had the strongest mental qualities, couldn't help but show shocked reactions after seeing this shocking scene.
Not to mention the other Zodiacs' members who are very familiar with 100-Type Guanyin.
They were often forced to play with Netero, and naturally had personally experienced the 'caress' of 100-Type Guanyin.
Therefore, they intimately understood the strength and significance of 100-Type Guanyin, which can be said to be the perfect embodiment of unmatched individual power.
Therefore, when they saw Moses used 100-Type Guanyin, they, who knew it best, could not suppress their inner shock.
This is already a phenomenon 'beyond cognition'!
…
Inside the venue.
Satoga was knocked to the ground by 100-Type Guanyin.
Immediately afterwards, several pillars of golden light bombarded the place where Satoga fell.
And in this brief moment of less than a second, Satoga, who attracted the first wave of fire, gave Chrollo and Franklin, who were a short distance away, enough time to react.
Franklin, though visibly shaken, did not waver. He kept his fingers-gun trained on Moses, ready to fire.
Chrollo, however, reacted differently. His pupils quivered momentarily before he decisively dismissed his fully prepared Bandit's Secret.
In fact, he was not surprised by the appearance of the golden light pillars.
After all, Nobunaga had died beneath one of those overwhelming golden pillars, which is a memory Chrollo had seared into his mind.
Thus, before launching this hunting operation, in addition to preparing the 'coffin plan' for Moses, he naturally also prepared the ability to deal with the 'golden light pillars' in advance.
However-
He believed that Moses was a Specialist, so the Golden Guanyin, whose power was so terrifying, must have had harsh restrictions.
For example, this ability likely consumed a significant amount of Aura and could only be utilized in 'instant strike' forms.
In other words…
Chrollo surmised that the Golden Guanyin had a very limited number of 'attacks'. That was why Moses had used it only at the last moment before and struck only once to take Nobunaga's life...
Based on this information, the Nen Ability that Chrollo prepared to counter the Golden Guanyin is an Emission-Type Nen Ability with complete interception properties.
[I Defy All Things]
Chrollo re-conjured the Bandit's Secret again, then flipped to the page that recorded this Nen Ability, and activated the ability at the fastest speed.
In an instant, Chrollo's Aura spread outward, forming a pale golden, oval-shaped barrier that enveloped him completely.
This Emission-Type, full-interception Nen Ability, I Defy All Things, actually bore similarities to Moses's Ken: Bone-Plated Armor. Both of which are abilities that can produce extremely strong defensive effects within a very short time.
Once the defensive effect was triggered, the barrier would shatter after sustaining damage and would require a cooldown before it could be used again.
In Chrollo's opinion, this Emission-Type, full-interception Nen Ability can perfectly counter the threat posed by the Golden Guanyin.
Ratatatatata…
Unlike Chrollo, who chose to temporarily avoid the limelight, Franklin, who could highly efficiently exert the advantage of an Enhancer, unleashed a relentless barrage of Nen Bullets at Moses without hesitation, undeterred by the looming threat of the 100-Type Guanyin.
…
On the golden lotus platform.
Moses stood amidst the radiant light in an ethereal, selfless state.
"Netero is me. I am Moses..."
This profound state of enlightenment brought Moses an indescribable sense of clarity, as if he were touching upon a higher dimension of existence.
His past experience of swinging a sword ten thousand times seamlessly allowed him to synchronize with the newfound insights flowing into his consciousness and body.
[100-Type Guanyin: Ninety-Ninth Hand]
The Nen Bullets tore through the air toward Moses, but Moses closed his eyes, and the 100-Type Guanyin standing behind him suddenly moved, with all its arms springing into motion.
The twelve pairs of bamboo-like arms wove an intricate, star-like pattern of palm strikes, instantly engulfing the immobilized Satoga, the shielded Chrollo, and the unyielding Franklin in its onslaught.
Bang, bang, bang…!
The Nen Bullet soaring through the air were obliterated by the dense golden light.
Franklin's expression froze, and in a flash, he followed in Satoga's footsteps, and was knocked to the ground by the endless golden light.
In front of that massive golden palms, Franklin, who was as big as a bear, seemed no more significant than an ant, and he had no power to resist at all.
Meanwhile, Chrollo, who was hiding in the pale golden light shield, was also enveloped by the barrage of palm strikes.
When the first strike of 100-Type Guanyin hit the light shield, the light shield did not move at all.
But when the second, third, and fourth strikes came down-
Crack! Crack!
Dense cracks appeared on the pale golden light shield, and then the shield shattered with a resounding crash.
Along with the barrier, Chrollo's composure also crumbled.
He thought that the Golden Guanyin had to bear the restriction of 'instant attack', so he specially found a complete interception-type Nen Ability that could be used to offset the 'short-term offensive'.
However, this continuous palm strike, like a torrential rain, without any sign of stopping, completely shattered Chrollo's judgment.
Boom, boom, boom…
Chrollo was then swept up in the relentless cascade of palm strikes.
This seemingly omnipotent ability had revealed its terrifying might, offering no chance to evade or counterattack.
The solemn and majestic 100-Type Guanyin managed three simultaneous offensives, and its twelve golden arms, bamboo-like in structure, delivered strikes from every conceivable angle.
Chrollo, Franklin, and Satoga were pinned down beneath the countless palm shadows. The arena floor beneath them bore the brunt of the assault, with debris flying and dust swirling in all directions.
As a venue exclusively created for Floor Master's match, the arena is specially reinforced according to the standards of Nen Battle.
But even so, it couldn't withstand the intensive palm strikes of 100-Type Guanyin.
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the entire floor shook as if there was an earthquake.
This is Netero's 100-Type Guanyin!
Even if it can only achieve 40% of its precision at this time, it can still display a terrifying dominance, suffocating all resistance.
Countless pairs of eyes witnessed this horrifying and shocking scene unfold.
And in countless places, silence reigned, as if the world itself held its breath.
…
However, people like Biscuit, who were engaged in their own battles in the venue, had their clashes abruptly interrupted by the terrifying attack of 100-Type Guanyin.
Their attention was uncontrollably drawn toward the majestic figure of 100-Type Guanyin, leaving them deeply shaken.
In mid-air, Moses's radiant figure stood like the sun itself, engraving an unforgettable image into their eyes.
Of all people present, only Kurapika remained unaffected...
