Netero already knew Loki had materialized a short blade capable of freely extending and retracting.
However, after their fight, Netero sensed something far more dangerous about Loki’s Zanpakutō: Shinsō. It was clearly more than just a simple extendable blade.
’That blade... it holds a dangerous power,’ Netero sensed. He didn’t know how Loki achieved it, but the blade radiated a palpable threat.
’If this continues, many buildings will be destroyed,’ Netero thought, sighing. ’I need a swift victory.’
Boom! Loki held a ball of flame. While Netero contemplated, Loki launched his attack, aiming a burning left fist at Netero.
Loki spoke softly, "Kyoen."
Nen surged, erupting into a wave of flames that swept towards Netero.
’Not good!’ Netero frowned, realizing the attack’s wide range would endanger the crowd. Dodging would leave the already unstable Association building vulnerable to destruction.
The flames formed a wall advancing on Netero. The sheer Nen output stunned the onlookers. The Nen users, feeling the tidal wave of Nen, forgot the danger until the flames spread fan-like, nearing them. They panicked, trying to escape, but the flames were too fast.
"Cheadle! What are you doing?!" A Zodiac member pulled the immobile Cheadle to safety, but her gaze remained fixed on Netero.
’Chairman...’ Netero, unmoving, stared at the approaching flames, his expression calm.
’He’s forced me to use my ability,’ he thought. The flames surged. Time seemed to stop. Netero closed his eyes, slowly raising his hands in a solemn, perfectly graceful pose. He seemed to have forgotten the danger, fully focused on his prayer.
Loki, behind the flames, sensed something amiss—a terrifying power awakening. Suddenly, golden light erupted.
Whoosh! A giant Guanyin statue materialized before Loki, radiating a serene golden light that calmed the mind.
Those fleeing looked back, stunned by the statue’s sudden appearance.
"Little Loki! This is my ability," Netero, hands clasped, appeared beneath the statue. "100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva!" His eyes opened, fixing on Loki. "Three styles!"
As Netero gestured, the giant Guanyin moved. Two massive hands slammed down on Loki, instantly extinguishing the spreading flames and reflecting them back at him! Loki stared at the Guanyin.
’My body’s frozen. I can’t dodge this speed.’
The golden hands struck Loki from both sides. The previously terrifying flames were insignificant compared to this attack; they were extinguished with a casual sweep. Loki stared at Guanyin, his vision consumed by the giant hands, plunging into darkness.
The immense force struck Loki squarely. Netero’s 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva struck the instant he made the hand gesture—too fast to dodge. Netero didn’t need to defend; the best defense was offense. The flames vanished.
Trembling voices echoed.
"Th-that... that’s Chairman Netero’s ability!"
"In an instant! He extinguished those terrifying flames and counterattacked that monstrous kid! Truly worthy of Chairman Netero!"
The speaker stammered, his gaze filled with reverence. The Zodiac members who had pulled Cheadle away stopped, watching Netero.
"That’s the Chairman’s ability! Amazing!" Saccho exclaimed, despite not being a combat specialist. He knew how terrifying Netero’s ability was—the speed alone was astonishing.
"100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva... this is the first time I’ve seen Chairman Netero use it," Gel added, equally amazed.
Cluck stared at the giant Guanyin. "I’d only heard rumors before. This is my first time witnessing it."
Cheadle, slowly rising, looked at Netero. ’He had to use his ability... that kid is already this strong?’ Unlike her awestruck comrades, she was terrified that Loki had forced Netero to resort to his ultimate ability.
A kid who had only recently learned Nen had pushed Netero to this point. While Netero’s power was undeniable, using this ability meant he was fighting with everything he had.
Netero didn’t continue his attack. 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva slowly dissipated, the golden light fading, the giant hands vanishing.
