Chapter 350 - Ultimate Beast

Unlike the previous two legendary Pokemon, Nihilego doesn't rely on constraints or oaths to boost its power.

Instead, it has unique practical abilities; most notably, it can inject neurotoxins into other creatures, controlling them, which is something Larry hasn't had before.

Additionally, Nihilego is a formidable poison-type Pokemon, and poison attacks hold significant potential in the Hunter x Hunter world.

Before Nihilego, Larry's only poison-type Pokemon was Gengar.

Both allow the Pokemon to grow stronger with each victory, making them excellent in round-robin battles where continuous fighting occurs.

However, in reality, the boost isn't the same for every enemy defeated.

The power gained depends on the strength of the defeated opponent; stronger foes grant more significant boosts, while defeating weaker creatures barely has any effect.

There's also a time limit on this enhancement; once it expires, the boost disappears.

Overall, [Beast Boost] is a great ability, especially in multi-opponent or group battles, where it can be used confidently.

Combined with Nihilego's neurotoxin, this ability can even turn opponents' strength against them, absorbing their power.

Among the Ultimate Beasts, Nihilego stands out as a valuable asset.

Whether Larry will have the chance to obtain other Ultimate Beasts in the future remains a mystery.

As Larry gathered his thoughts on all this, Porygon Z began absorbing the information from the cabinet labeled with its name.

With just a single thought, the information could be instantly sent straight into Larry's mind.

Suddenly, Larry felt a flood of information rush into his mind for no apparent reason, all of it related to himself.

The data included details about the town where he first appeared, though notably, there was no record of his exact birthplace.

It also tracked his movements through places like the Karym Ruins and the Samok Desert.

Among all the information, the most detailed and significant was about his own strength.

The Ferry Hall didn't just keep records of every Pokemon it had encountered; it also cataloged 270 unique abilities, including estimates of each Pokemon's approximate power level.

From this, a cautious conclusion was drawn.

The cabinet's information was clearly updated regularly, as Larry even saw an entry predicting he would become president someday.

"It's really a lot of hard work," Larry murmured, half to himself.

"It's tough for you too, working so hard to gather any info about yourself."

As expected from the V5, it seemed they had documented nearly everything that had happened since he arrived in the world of full-time hunters.

There was even a record of his mission with Hisoka against the shadow.

Larry wasn't too bothered by their obsession with collecting data on him; if anything, the level of detail, almost like airing one's dirty laundry, made him a bit uneasy.

All the sources shared a common tone: they treated him as if he were a potential enemy.

His demonstrated strength had clearly unsettled the V5 leaders.

Just then, Porygon Z sent another message.

It had discovered that a meeting was taking place in one of the Ferry Hall's rooms, and it was about Larry.

Inside the Ferry Hall, a spacious conference room awaited.

A large rectangular table with an unknown pattern sat at its center.

The room was strangely dim, as if the few occupants were reluctant to turn on the lights.

Only the faint glow from a screen mounted on the wall illuminated the space, casting soft shadows on the five figures seated around the table.

Perhaps the darkness helped them concentrate better.

These five individuals were the top leaders of the V5, the most powerful figures across the six continents, gathered precisely to discuss matters concerning Larry.

Any decision made between them would impact not only the six continents but also the future of humanity itself.

"This time, we spent a fortune having the gatekeeper transport the Chimera Ant Queen from the Dark Continent," a middle-aged woman said, her tone tinged with frustration.

"We even carefully chose the ideal spot within the NGL Autonomous Region, and as planned, the Ant King was born. Yet, Netero remains unaffected, still alive and kicking. So, what do you suggest we do next?"

Dressed in luxurious clothing adorned with countless jewels, the woman carried the weight of power and wealth befitting one of the nation's highest leaders.

Her outfit alone was worth tens of billions of ring nuns.

Around her neck hung a silver necklace that shimmered brilliantly even in the dimly lit room, resembling a shooting star cutting through the darkness.

At its center sat an azure gemstone, one of the rare "seven beauties" known as Liquid Ore.

Liquid titanium ore, the source of this gemstone's unique glow, is shrouded in mystery.

It appeared only once in ancient times and is one of the rarest among the seven beauties.

The ore body solidifies when temperatures drop, but inside, it retains an intense heat, making it highly volatile.

Because of this, preserving liquid titanium ore is incredibly difficult, underscoring the woman's immense wealth.

The ore's hard, water-blue core emits a faint icy blue glow at night.

Paired with the silver necklace, it resembles an icy ocean floating in a shimmering galaxy, a priceless treasure beyond measure.

Her jewels made her the brightest point in the room, almost serving as a source of light themselves, outshining even the screen beside her.

The room's dimness was intentional, designed to make her dazzling jewelry stand out even more.

But the most striking accessory was the crown atop her head, crafted from various rare metals.

Light and elegant, it was clearly her most treasured possession.

Embedded within the crown was a pearl the size of a fist, gleaming with unmatched brilliance, a final testament to her status and power.

The pearl's surface was smooth and white, but deep inside, a rich, blood-red glow pulsed faintly, like a glass filled with red wine.

This was the legendary Blood Pearl, something Larry had once heard about in Carter Harbor.

A few years back, the Blood Pearl had been auctioned off at Carter Port.

Originally bought by a senior V5 official, it changed hands several times before ending up with the middle-aged woman.

This pearl was no ordinary gem; it could replenish itself by absorbing the life aura of nearby creatures.

The deeper the blood-red color inside, the more life force it had absorbed.

Once filled, wearing the pearl could slow aging and even enhance one's appearance.

Essentially, it transferred the life aura of others to the wearer, something that felt undeniably sinister.

Naturally, a middle-aged woman wouldn't miss out on such a treasure promising eternal youth and beauty.

After acquiring it, she never took it off except when recharging the pearl.
