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....

"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. ...

Although they continued their routine inside the house, the atmosphere had changed entirely.

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.

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 s...

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.

"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.

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'...

"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.

In this world, the only people Ronnel truly trusted were them.
With his decision made, he immediately le...

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.

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.
And this was only the beginning.
Natsu took a sharp breath.

A powerful burst of flames surged toward Kaizen.

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, th...

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 ...
2025-03-06 06:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostHalf 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. 2025-03-06 06:02:01 +0000 UTC View Post
A group of people immediately snapped into action, carrying out their duties with professional focus.
Seeing this, Yak and Groundhog let out a breath of relief. It seemed the humans genuinely cared about this situation and were doing everything they could to ensure the Queen's safe recovery.
The two exchanged glances before pulling aside the returning figure, who was still lost in thought, as well as Korudol, who had noticed someth...
