บท 189: The birth of King
Meanwhile, in the Chimera Ant Queen nest, the Queen screamed out in pain and yelled, touching her belly. "It's too early. Wait..."
Unexpectedly, the King didn't listen to her words. He came out forcefully by ripping his mother's womb, leaving the latter with severe injuries.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding chimera ants were horrified and appalled.
Unlike in the original series, the King didn't have the luxury to mess with other chimera ants as he felt threatening energy looming over his head.
When he flashed outside of the nest, he stood amazed looking at the shocking display of a huge blue Sun hovering above the Chimera ant nest.
The three Royal Guards arrived and knelt before him, "My King, we need to get out of here immediately." Pitou sounded anxious along with the other two Royal guards.
As for Meruem, he still stared at the bluish Sun without heeding the Royal guards' advice. Even before such danger, the thought to 'flee' didn't cross his mind. Because he's the King!
--
"Are you guys ready? He's born. Though we are some distance away, you guys should retreat far away." Saying this, Blaize stretched his hand toward the sky and slammed it down.
Within a fraction of a second, the large bluish fireball ball crashes into the Chimera Ant nest, directly above the heads of King, Pitou, Shaiapouf, and Youpi.
The Royal guards only had the time to surround and protect Meruem with their Nen. At the last moment, Youpi used his shapeshifting ability, enlarged himself, and shielded King, Pitou, and Shaiapouf.
"Boom!"
What happened next is nothing but pure destruction. As soon as Blaize's sun came in contact with the surface, it exploded!
The blast creates a giant bluish fireball that shot up as a huge mushroom cloud. The fireball didn't expand but compressed the surrounding medium into a huge orb before expanding into a supersonic shock wave followed by blue fire winds.
The shockwave carried extreme heat that vaporized everything within a three-kilometer radius.
Everything was razed to nothingness as the blast packed a destructive force equivalent to some kilotons of TNT.
As for Chairman Netero, Morel, Knov, and Kite, they were stupified by the destructive force and directly escaped into the artificial nen dimension opened by Knov.
In seconds, one-fourth of the NGL had...vanished.
When the dust and particles in the surrounding settled down, there was nothing as far as his eyes could see. But, his observation haki sensed three life auras in the distance. King, Pitou, and Shaiapouf's!
As for other chimera Ants, there's none alive.
Even Shaiapouf's aura is frail as if it would go down any minute. As for Youpi, he was vaporized into nothingness by the extreme temperature as he took the full brunt of the attack.
'Did I overdo it?' Blaize muttered, looking at the devastation below him. The impact of the explosion cratered the surface deeply, which stretched across three kilometers in radius.
Though he didn't hold back his power, still, he didn't expect the degree of destruction to be this massive.
In the distance, Pitou and Shaiapouf anxiously observed their King to see if he had suffered any injuries. Thankfully, nothing happened to him besides the overuse of Nen and Scorch marks.
Unlike the King, Pitou and Shaiapouf had sustained severe injuries. Pitou's injuries aren't life-threatening, but Shaiapouf's condition is worse.
As his weakness is fire, the attack destroyed half of the cells in his body while the extreme heat energy in the surroundings is slowly destroying the remaining half.
Looking at the King who looks weak after consuming so much of his Nen, Shaiapouf's heart ached. Thinking for a moment, he liquified his cells and gave them to the King.
"What are you doing?" Meruem asked, seeing the Royal guard offering a drop of white liquid that was rich in energy.
"My king, use this drop to replenish your Nen."
Without asking anything, Meruem accepted it. When he consumed it, his Nen ability 'Aura synthesis' activated and synthesized Shaiapouf's aura to his own.
It directly replenished his Nen and enhanced his strength to the next level.
As for Shaiapouf, after donating most of his cells, his power dropped considerably while he transformed into a small Bleezbub.
"Who attacked us?" Meruem asked, brimming with strength and overflowing life aura.
At the same time, Pitou and Shaiapouf looked in Blaize's direction with hostility and anger.
--
'He's back to his peak state. It's going to be tough to kill him.' Blaize thought.
Meanwhile, Netero, Morel, Knov, and Kite who all escaped into the Nen dimension came out. Glancing at the trail of destruction left by Blaize's attack, they were speechless.
"Oi...Oi...is this something a human can do?" Morel exclaimed and looked at Blaize as if he was a monster.
"Aside from King and the Royal guards, I don't sense any chimera ants nearby," Netero spoke.
"We don't have time to chit-chat. Chairman Netero, I will fight the King while you guys take care of the Royal Guards." Blaize said and leaped into the air to confront the incoming King.
Unlike in the series, the King hasn't met the girl Komugi nor does he knows anything about love. Right now, he's the King of ants with a cruel and violent personality!
He won't even hesitate to kill, whether it's a child or his kind; it doesn't matter.
Flashing before Blaize, Meruem didn't attack immediately. "You are a rare human?"
"You can say so, Ant." Blaize calmly replied.
"I am going to enjoy devouring you!" Meruem haughtily declared and charged forward while terrifying aura berserks out of him.
Facing such an intense and monstrous aura, even Blaize felt a slight pressure, and it torched his dormant battle temperament.
Facing King Meruem, Blaize's Conqueror's Haki erupted and went off in all directions with flashes of lightning. "Come!"
Blaize resisted the King's attack with a punch of his own. A pure physical confrontation of power!
"Bang!" The collision created a small shockwave while stirring up the surrounding dust and stones.
Meanwhile, Chairman Netero confronted Pitou while Morel, Knov, and Kite faced the weakened Shaiapouf.
