Chapter 139: The Confrontation Has Begun

.......

Yasuo nodded already expecting those words then he advised the King as he started floating up in the air with his dark hair hiding the bright moon far behind him.

"I advise you to consume them both before we started else you won't have that great of a chance."

"No need for suc..." Uttered the King, however, He didn't have the chance to finish before he was sent flying due to the massive purple hand that appeared out of nowhere.

A hand screaming of pure danger and power, seeking to vanish anything in its way and creating a sonic bomb that thundered across the royal palace.

Meruem was genuinely stunned not being able to react facing the hand quite similar to the hands he faced before.

Quite similar to Netero's ability but also completely different because even though he became stronger, so strong in fact he would've been able to kill Netero instantly and his statue ability would be useless.

That's just how stronger he has become yet he found himself faced with a similar situation except it's a more dangerous one, all the strength he has gained seemed useless like he has never gained it in the first place.

The dark purple hand seemed to break the laws of space appearing right next to him with an unmatched speed hitting him.

And... it actually hurts even with how strong his body has become and how monstrous his Aura pool is, it hurts in contrast to how he felt facing Netero, this human and Netero are really on a whole other level.

He was sent for about a hundred meters before he controlled his enormous wings to balance himself in the air then he looked at the human who is also floating in the air with something strange also floating behind him.

A strange dark purple form, a facial structure similar to Yasuo though the only thing on its face is a pitch-black vertical eye taking a significant portion of the space of the face. A lean but muscular body structure.

The most interesting thing however is the six arms the construct has, extremely long arms reaching a length of 50 meters which is strange considering the construct's height is only about 30 meters though the construct only consists of the upper part of the body without having any legs.

And something Meruem noticed clearly as the only thing connecting Yasuo and the construct is three purple threads.

Meruem decided to target that or Yasuo as those are the only weak points he can see and he's right, this is a hidden weakness of the Vision construct, if the three threads are destroyed then the construct will disappear.

Of course, those three dark purple threads are extremely strong, not a strong as the rest of the construct but strong nonetheless and Yasuo made this weakness simply to make the construct stronger, the more risks there are the stronger Nen abilities become.

However, Yasuo allowed that weakness to exist for one simple reason, because it is almost impossible to exploit.

He has an arsenal of abilities that support each other perfectly creating an undestroyable barrier, a barrier Meruem will have to break through and he will see just how indestructible it is.

Meruem also noticed something interesting, he noticed a bubble appearing with its outlines shining in purple light.

This is Yasuo's amplification domain as he created it with a range of about 300 meters sacrificing the rest of his domain, that range got extended to 500 meters as his left eye started shining in scarlet light.

Yasuo did so simply to be able to sense space clearly and enter a state of near invisibility as for the purple outline of the domain, Yasuo simply didn't care if someone noticed it.

He added that risk to make the sub-ability stronger and he doesn't regret it one bit because that made his amplification within the amplification domain much higher.

Yasuo who simply appeared to be floating with his right eye completely blank like he can't see while his left one is shining in a scarlet light due to activating the scarlet eyes' ability, a simple ability that allows him to strengthen his specialist abilities.

Floating doesn't appear to be the right word to describe him as he simply appeared to be static in the middle of the air making no movement whatsoever except the faint breathing.

Breathing that's only possible due to his control domain manipulating himself to do so, after all, he does lose his ability to control most of his body when using the Vision ability.

Meruem observed his every action carefully waiting for Youpi and Pouf to gain some distance after he ordered them to do so not giving them any other choice.

Only a few seconds passed before the King decided to start attacking not willing to go easy on the human at all, he used his full power trying to finish the fight as soon as possible.

However, he can't and he knows that, he knows he just needs to be on the winning side until the 5 minutes mark to pass and he will be the winner.

He knows from Yasuo's first attack just how hard it's going to be to actually succeed in reaching the human before him.

He wasn't able to react to the attack not just because of his surprise because that's not something that can hold someone like him, he wasn't able to react because of the attack's speed, he was able to track the hand's movement but wasn't ready to evade.

Chimera Ants' strongest suit will always remain their broken physical capabilities that are supported by their Nen.

Uvogin wasn't strong just because of his Aura pool and proficiency in enhancement, it was also because of his already strong physical capabilities that got enhanced even further by Nen.

That is what Chimera Ants have, physical capabilities that can make most Nen users' abilities useless.

And the way the King is right now, he can just remain standing without even using Nen and no Nen user will be able to hurt him unless some special abilities are used and even then, the abilities need to be strong enough to affect him.

That of course doesn't apply to Yasuo whose Nen proficiency is rivaled by none, he truly stands at the top of what human beings can do.

The King's ability allowed him to evolve even more than he already has, the body that was barely damaged in his fight with Netero became much stronger to the point one can wonder, will the same bomb be actually able to hurt him in his current state?

Yet Yasuo was able to actually make him feel pain no matter how small that feeling was.

The combination of several things allowed for that to happen, the fact that the Vision construct has Yasuo's physical strength which is an important thing considering how strong it is.

And the fact that when using the ability, the construct is considered his real body allowing him to output Aura through it which allows him to enhance the construct through Nen even more, and that says a lot considering his proficiency in enhancement and basically every other category.

The most important thing is what the construct is made of, Aeronen a material he transmutes his Aura into so light yet so strong, his transmutation ability.

When one transmutes Aura into something, that doesn't mean his transmuted aura will only be as strong as that thing, it all depends on how much proficiency one has in transmutation and in the ability.

Yasuo was able to take his Aeronen ability quite far becoming even stronger than the element he just made and even the whole construct is lighter than a feather and that's what the construct is made of, that combined with the risks of the ability makes the construct even stronger.

And that especially applies to its speed, Yasuo can control it like it's his own body, like naturally controlling his own muscles allowing its speed to be much faster than sound surpassing Mach 10 which is due to its lightweight.

That lightness property also allows one other thing, aside from his natural control, Yasuo also uses his control domain to control the construct making its already astonishing speed much faster with its lightness basically providing almost no resistance to his control.

However, there is something Meruem didn't consider, the greatest thing about Yasuo is his mind.

The creative mind that allowed him to construct an arsenal of abilities supporting each other to create something fascinating and Yasuo is about to show just how far his mind has taken him.

The shining light from the moon remained hidden under the construct's large form casting a massive shadow on a large area in front of him.

He is standing in the air at a height perfect to cast a shadow on the King who is about a hundred meters away but is closer to the ground than him.

The confrontation has begun though one couldn't really call it a confrontation, it was an interesting fight nonetheless where the absolute power of Yasuo was shown.

A power that continued to stun Meruem down from the first attack to Yasuo's second which stunned him even more as the Vision construct broke the sound barrier attacking to its right nowhere near Meruem which he found strange until...
