Loki’s white cloak billowed. He glanced at the crowd below.
Turning his back to the three Zodiac members, he discreetly checked his phone, hidden by his cloak.
’Not done yet?’ He let out a soft breath. Turning back, he said, "I only returned to see Chairman Netero again."
"Only to see me?" Netero clearly sensed Loki was lying. Netero’s aura surged.
’Of course, you can’t lie to Netero.’ Loki’s eyes flickered.
"Chairman Netero doesn’t believe me?"
"After all, you taught me Nen. You are my master, and I am your disciple!"
The words "master" and "disciple" calmed Netero’s aura. Netero looked away, silent for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Little Loki, I’m not easily swayed by emotion."
While he said he wasn’t swayed, Netero was clearly affected. The master-disciple bond made it hard for him to act. "Then let me state my true intentions."
Loki turned, slowly raising his Zanpakutō, Shinigami, pointing it at Netero, his expression cold and distant. He uttered two words:
"Declaration of war."
Netero’s eyes narrowed. Mizaistom and Botobai were stunned.
’Declaration of war?’ ’Against Netero?’ ’Against the Hunter Association?’ The Hunter Association represented almost the entire world.
Loki’s declaration was an open challenge to the world—something unprecedented.
Mizaistom stared, wide-eyed, at Loki’s calm declaration. Botobai frowned, bewildered by Loki’s reckless act. They were shocked, but Netero remained strangely calm.
’He’s telling me that if I label him a criminal, he’ll become the world’s most terrifying criminal!’ ’Just like a child throwing a tantrum.’ Netero chuckled dryly.
"Little Loki, do you truly understand the implications of those words?"
"Yes, I’m fully aware of what I’m doing," Loki replied calmly. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel-fire.ɴet
"The Hunter Association, empowered by over a hundred nations, enjoys special privileges and access to 80% of areas inaccessible to ordinary people.
Declaring war on the Hunter Association is tantamount to declaring war on the world." Loki’s lips curled into a smile.
"And that is what I intend to do next!"
Silence descended. Mizaistom and Botobai were speechless. Such a declaration was unheard of, even among the Zodiacs.
Netero stared at Loki. After a long moment, convinced Loki wasn’t lying, he spoke slowly.
"It seems your power has led to your downfall, little Loki."
"Is that what you believe, Chairman Netero?"
An unstoppable aura erupted from Netero, reaching towards the heavens, shaking the very ground. Netero removed his jacket, tossing it aside, his gaze serious.
"It seems you’re prepared to fight me." Netero smiled faintly. "Kid, do you truly understand what fighting me means?"
Loki didn’t answer. Netero looked at him intently.
"You will die. Are you not afraid?"
Netero watched Loki, a storm raging within him.
’I spent decades reaching this level... this kid, in such a short time... using this method...’ Loki, in Overdrive Death Mode, had orange eyes, devoid of emotion—calm, serene.
By minimizing emotional fluctuations, he achieved a state of near-vegetative calm, a natural state that amplified his aura immensely.
Netero had spent decades cultivating this state, honing his mental fortitude. Loki, a Nen user for only about half a year, had already achieved this. At such a young age, he surpassed 98% of Nen users. This terrifying talent shook even Netero.
"Chairman, you seem surprised," Loki’s voice suddenly echoed, accompanied by the sound of footsteps. Loki appeared before Netero. Netero’s expression hardened.
"Loki, your talent is the most exceptional I’ve ever seen in a human."
"Is that so? Thank you for the compliment, Chairman."
Netero shook his head. "Unfortunately, I failed to guide you properly. That is my fault." Netero’s gaze sharpened.
"To leave you unchecked... you will one day become a threat to the entire world."
"Therefore..." Netero gathered Nen in his hands.
"I must eliminate you!"
Loki, having reached this level, possessed immense untapped potential. This situation left Netero with no choice but to act.
If Loki continued to grow, he would soon surpass Netero, making elimination far more difficult.
He had to strike while Loki was still a fledgling.
He suppressed his reluctance.
