167 Chapter 167 Isn't It A Good Thing?

There's one thing that must be admitted.

This kind of enemy-harming ability resembling a curse is indeed very tricky. It can bypass Nen defense and directly inflict damage on the target from a distance...

But Kanzai happens to have Tiger Stripes, an Enhancement-Type Nen Ability that can heal injuries efficiently in battle.

In a sense, this ability is precisely targeted at the bizarre abilities displayed by the Moses replicant.

So Kanzai's plan is…

To use the self-healing ability of Tiger Stripes to render the self-harming actions of Moses's copy meaningless, and then all he has to do is wait for Moses's clone to fall down.

However, he didn't expect Moses's copy to resurrect on the spot after self-harming to death!

This unexpected situation caused Kanzai instantly change his strategy.

'You can't die, huh?'

'Fine, I won't attack anymore. Let's see who can hold out longer!'

So, under the premise that Kanzai didn't want to engage with Moses's clone anymore, and the two tacitly began a contest of endurance.

But judging from the current results…

Kanzai is panting heavily, drenched in sweat.

In contrast, Moses's clone remains unfazed, and continued its seemingly senseless self-harming actions.

"Could this guy be a perpetual motion machine? That's why he dares to repeat the same ability over and over again!"

'Could it be... he's trying to deceive me?!'

'It's impossible... But… if it's that guy Kester...!'

'He might really pull off something like this!'

Kanzai suddenly felt like he had fallen into a trap.

'Am I being fooled?'

'By an imposter?!'

When he thought of this possibility, Kanzai inexplicably felt sour, considering whether he should compromise a bit, not stubbornly sticking to it for the sake of reputation.

"Stop it, Kanzai."

At this moment, Cheadle's voice came at the right time.

Kanzai subconsciously wanted to retort, but held back at the last moment.

He understands that if this continues, he will most likely be the one who is unable to hold out it in the end.

"Got it, got it. This method is too boring. Indeed, exchanging blows with fists suits me better."

Kanzai put on a bored expression, as if to say: There's no point in playing small tricks, real men only speak with his fists.

Cheadle saw that Kanzai was obsessed with saving his reputation, but she did not try to make trouble like Pyon did. Instead, she calmly said: "I roughly understand what is going on."

"Which part are you talking about?"

Kanzai, without paying attention to the self-harming behavior of Moses's copy, looked back at Cheadle, and asked doubtfully.

Cheadle's gaze bypassed Kanzai and fell on Moses's copy, who was still self-harming. She then hinted with meaning: "About why you are losing to him in this 'tug of war'."

"Hmph."

Kanzai snorted unconvinced, but he did not open his mouth to refute Cheadle's statement.

This tug-of-war of endurance…

He indeed lost spectacularly.

"So, what's the reason?"

Kanzai asked in turn.

Cheadle calmly analyzed: "There are two possibilities. One is that he can replenish Nen at any time with the help of the Nen Space. And the other is that his original body is using Zetsu to continuously restore his Nen in a certain corner."

"Ha?"

Kanzai's face revealed an expression of, 'Are you kidding me?'

The idea that the original body of the imposter is in a state of Zetsu, so that it can continuously restore its Nen, and under this premise, also sending out Nen Clone to deal with him using a self-harming ability similar to a curse – how is such a thing possible?

Just as he was about to voice his opinion, he heard Cheadle continue:

"Kanzai, I mention these two possibilities not to clear up your confusion but to make you understand the fact that 'you alone cannot deal with him'."

"Got it!"

Kanzai gritted his teeth and said, "Now, let's join forces and deal with this imposter, alright."

"It's good that you understand."

Cheadle jumped off the bus, and a cluster of Nen in her hand materialized into a Diagnostic Register.

She stared at the imposter in front, who looked exactly like Moses.

In fact, the Nen entity before her, playing with Kanzai, strictly speaking, was not Moses's imposter, but rather...

A copy!

With the peculiar ability derived from the same source, outstanding combat awareness, and the strategic ability to trap Kanzai unknowingly.

With such brilliance, it seems unfair to label him as an imposter.

Anyway—

It doesn't matter if it's an imposter or a copy.

For her and Kanzai, he was just an obstacle in the way.

"Let me create an opportunity for an attack."

Cheadle, holding the Diagnostic Register, moved past Kanzai, and approached Moses's copy.

Kanzai glanced at her and had no objection.

In a one-on-one situation, due to the bizarre teleportation ability, Kanzai could hardly touch Moses's copy.

This is a confirmed fact.

Now that Cheadle is assisting on the side, this awkward situation should improve.

"Let's go!"

Kanzai suddenly became energetic.

Cheadle took a step forward, but stopped in the next moment.

She looked at Moses's copy in front of her with some surprise.

At this moment, the other party stop the self-harming and instead release a lot of Aura.

As these tumultuous waves of Aura surged, they instantly materialized into one shadow clone after another.

In just a few seconds' time, hundreds of shadow clones suddenly appeared around the injured Moses's copy.

"!!!"

Looking at the hundreds of shadow clones appearing in front of them, the expressions of Cheadle and Kanzai changed drastically.

When they were ready to join forces, Moses's copy made a response to the situation at hand based on his own judgment.

Then, he materialized hundreds of shadow clones in one go.

It seems that he thinks that only with this quantity could he definitively deal with Cheadle and Kanzai.

"This is…!!"

Cheadle and Kanzai were shocked.

However, hundreds of shadow clones derived from Moses's clones did not give them any more time to think, and they rushed towards them overwhelmingly.

Cheadle, who holds the Diagnostic Register in hand, might not have to worry too much in the short term.

But Kanzai, who had consumed a significant amount of his Aura, is in danger.

Facing these hundreds of shadow clones, it was almost predictable what fate awaited Kanzai.

The outcome for him would likely be overwhelmed and drowned by the army of shadow clones, with no other possibilities.

…

In another Nen Space.

Still in the Swardani City.

Diego, dressed in black, stood in the center of a square.

In the sky behind him, floated an ancient bronze eye entwined with numerous black Nen threads.

It is the Eye of Sight that creates this overlapping Nen Spaces.

The black ominous aura visible to the naked eye is continuously emanating from the Eye of Sight and spreading in all directions.

Looking from a distance, the entire square seems to be covered with heavy black clouds.

At this moment, the muscular man arrived in panic.

"Diego-sama!"

He stepped into the square and hurriedly approached Diego.

Diego looked at him indifferently.

"Diego-sama, something happened…"

The muscular man didn't waste words and quickly recounted the situation that unfolded in Nen Space B.

After listening to the muscular man's narration, Diego tilted his head slightly, and an expression of interest slowly appeared on his face.

"Isn't it a good thing?"

Immediately after, Diego spoke slowly, uttering a sentence that left the muscular man bewildered.

The muscular man was convinced that he had described the seriousness of the situation...

'The existence of that young man Nen entity was something that could not be ignored!'

'But why…'
