Machi had given Kaizen that evaluation.
And within the Phantom Troupe, Machi's intuition was highly respected.
Didn't that mean Kaizen's strength had already reached the mid-tier of the Phantom Troupe?
But Kaizen was only twelve.
"That brat, is he really that strong?" Phinks said in disbelief.
"I ran into him before, but he didn't seem all that impressive," he continued. "When facing weaklings, he kept retreating."
"Even when it came to the Scarlet Eyes, he...

"It's impossible right now.
"To reach the Dark Continent, you need to board the Black Whale from the Kakin Empire."
"However, this at least confirms one thing—there's still potential for Uchiha Sasuke to grow stronger."
Kaizen considered this thought as the Nen Beasts around him vanished.
Closing his eyes, he silently focused on the changes within himself. Sasuke's appearance had, in some way, sharpened his demeanor. At the same time, he could feel his physical and m...

At this moment, Shizuku and Bisky abandoned their usual laid-back attitude and became serious.
Although they continued their routine inside the house, the atmosphere had changed entirely.
"Alright, let's begin~"
In a small room, the moment Ronnel gently closed the door, his eyelids drooped. He stretched his arms out and collapsed onto the bed in a starfish position, making no effort to move.
Faint energy and aura started flowing throughout his body, both inside and out...

That look—fearful yet yearning for protection—made his heart ache.
"Shidore... Shidore..."
He stared blankly, whispering the name under his breath.
"Shidore... Reina..."
Suddenly, a strange yet familiar name surfaced in his mind, slipping from Kurt's lips almost involuntarily.
"Reina... she's my sister... I have to protect Reina..."
In the next moment, Kurt's eyes widened as vivid, long-buried memories surged from the depths of his mind.

But Kurapika didn't notice anything at all.
At this moment, he wasn't a match for the thin, middle-aged man in front of him.
Kaizen hesitated.
"Never mind."
"I've already gained plenty from the Kurta Clan."
"This last one percent of progress... I'll make up for it through Kurapika."
"This trouble—I'll handle it."
Just as the thin man was about to make his move, Kaizen flicked his wrist.
Whoosh!
A needle shot toward the middle-ag...

Kaizen frowned as he watched the progress on the crystal ball come to a halt.
"Not moving? Where else can I get information on the Kurta Clan?"
His thoughts drifted to Kurapika.
"But where would Kurapika be now?"
He recalled the original timeline—when Kurapika returned to the Kurta settlement, the massacre had already taken place.
"That kid was hiding nearby before… If Kurapika comes back, he'll be walking straight into a death trap."
That meant one thi...

Killer Queen's attack landed.
A silent explosion erupted.
However, before it could take full effect, the middle-aged man had already turned into his elemental form.
"I am Frost!" he declared, glaring in Kaizen's direction with a cold sneer. "You've been planning this for so long—was it all just for this attack? Do you think you can kill me the same way you dealt with that trash?"
His voice dripped with contempt. "You're too naive, kid. But since you're the assassin, ...

"Could he be like that guy I encountered in the Fiora Kingdom? Elemental?"
Kaizen's mind raced.
"If that's the case, then pure physical attacks won't work. But this time... there's a difference."
"Flames can counteract ice."
Natsu charged at the middle-aged man, his body engulfed in fire. As the flames approached, the frigid air around the opponent wavered.

Ronnel sprinted at high speed, his thoughts racing as he processed his situation. Soon, the exit passage came into view.
"Only by completely calming my mind can I perceive coordination and speed up the process. But if I'm too calm, I might become less aware of danger... I guess I'll need to ask Shizuku and Bisky for help."
In this world, the only people Ronnel truly trusted were them.

Hearing this, Bloster was the first to sigh in relief.
Originally, he was merely living in a separate location. While it was essentially a form of imprisonment, it didn't actually restrict his movement. The land he was confined to was the size of an island—it was far from the worst fate.

"Of course I saw it! I'm not blind. Judging by how aggressive they looked, they can't be here for anything good."
In a dense forest near the Chimera Ant nest, a male murloc-like Ant resembling a yaksha and a rather delicate-looking female Ant with mermaid-like features spoke in hushed tones.

A dense, murky fog swirled around the battlefield, unsettling the young man.
Then, out of nowhere, another dark red claw emerged behind Natsu.
Three sharp, crimson claws slashed toward the young man with terrifying force, pressing down on him like an iron grip.

Natsu took a sharp breath.

Kaizen withdrew his thoughts and surveyed his surroundings.
Any trace of Sumas had completely vanished from the area. The bodies of the outsiders had been dealt with, leaving only the ruins of the Kurta settlement behind. And within those ruins lay the corpses of the Kurta people.
A gruesome sight.
Bodies with their eyes gouged out. Some missing their heads entirely. The air still carried the faint metallic scent of blood, though it had long begun to settle. The crimson stai...

Sheila shot Kaizen an ambiguous look.
However, Kaizen turned away, pretending not to notice.
At this moment, Sheila had only one reason to show favor toward Kaizen—to get food from him.
"This is your reward for sharing information about the Phantom Troupe," Kaizen said, handing her a bag of bread.
At the same time, Kaizen had finally seized complete control over Sumas.
In other words, Sumas was now an extension of his mind.
For Sumas, Kaizen's will determ...

Half a day had passed.
Kaizen hadn't fully gained control over Sumas yet.
Hunger crept in after going without food for too long.
Additionally, even though Kaizen hadn't attacked the Kurta clan directly, he had fought, and where there's battle, there's exhaustion.
"Killer Queen."
He opened the storage space within Killer Queen and pulled out some food.
Sheila couldn't help but glance over.
Kaizen was eating and sipping on some juice.

Ronnel spread his hands in front of his face, palms open.

The starting point for Chimera Ants is exceptionally high, and their upper limit is nearly unimaginable.
They're like a cheat code—a complete anomaly!
This species represents an advanced evolutionary step, merging human and animal traits to create a lifeform with energy far surpassing that of ordinary humans.
Fortunately, despite their deep foundations and exceptional learning abilities, their cognitive functions are still largely beast-like. Their instincts and behavior r...

As he neared the end of his life, the old man did not wish to pass away in silence.
That was why he had decided to reveal the secret of the Kurta Clan.
For years, he had carried this truth in his heart, a burden that weighed on him like an anchor. But now, at this moment, he finally had the chance to speak.
There was no longer any reason to worry about the consequences.
The Kurta Clan had been wiped out.
