Chapter 267: The Gap in Awareness

Let the old man heal his injuries.

Meluem's gaze naturally shifted from Nitro to Germain who suddenly appeared.

Is this young man the helper that the old man found?

His mind energy was abundant, his steps were steady, his breathing was even, and he never let down his guard against me.

It seems that the strength is not weak, at least stronger than the other old man (Jie Nuo) who sent me here before.

Why did you come to help just now? Was it a temporary decision? Or...

Meruem didn't know Netero's name yet, and he didn't need to know Netero's name.

Likewise, he didn't need to know the name of the young man in front of him.

Only if they are willing to surrender and become his "guards" will he deliberately remember their names.

He was just curious. Why did the old man show up now when he had such a helper?

You know, he never resisted one-to-many from beginning to end.

At the same time, Germain was also observing Meluem.

Meruem's Heavenly Spirit Cap looks like a round hat, and his strong hands are clasped in front of his chest.

The upper body was covered with a small coat, and black smoke was emitting from it.

His lower body was also filled with smoke, and his two toned thighs were exposed, full of perfect muscle arcs.

The tail on his back is raised, as flexible as his fifth limb.

"Hundred-Shiki Kannon Zero-Shift: Merciless Roar" only caused abrasions and burns all over Meluem's body.

Even his little coat is in perfect condition.

This proves how comfortable Meruem is against Nitro.

Even though he was suddenly bombarded by strong mental energy, he still had the energy to cover his clothes with his mental energy and protect them.

From another perspective, it can also be said that chimera ants have the same sense of shame as humans, and they are unwilling to directly expose their important parts.

Germain stood in front of Nitro, who was being treated by "Archangel's Breathing", and was always paying attention to Meluem's movements.

Even if Meruem showed no hostility for the time being, he still wanted to be on the safe side.

Meruem seemed to see what Germain was thinking, smiled softly, and then sat down on the spot.

That sitting position was his favorite sitting position with one thigh arched, the other thigh crossed, and his hands resting on his knees.

Meruem has shown this sitting posture to many people to express his relaxation and calmness.

He believed this was a sign of kingliness.

"Don't worry about the treatment... If you want to fight again after the treatment is over, feel free to do it."

"However, you have to think clearly about the price. You will be seriously injured."

Meruem pointed at Nitro, who was treating his injuries.

"The reason why I didn't just leave you to my subordinates for transformation is because you have earned my respect. I hope you won't disappoint me."

This is the calmness of the king and the arrogance of the king.

Germain didn't say anything, but Nitro behind him smiled.

"Archangel's Breath Blowing" completed her healing in an instant.

Nitro's hands and feet recovered as before, and his withered body became strong again, full of energy.

He stood up and briefly moved his muscles twice, making a clicking sound.

"The Breath of the Archangel" gave Germain and Nitro a last gentle look in the howling night wind, then turned into starlight in the darkness, dissipating and dancing.

Nitro cracked his neck, making a clicking sound, then showed a sinister smile that should not belong to a righteous person, and then walked to Germain's side.

"Germain, I want to tell you three things."

"What's going on?" Germain looked sideways at Nitro.

"The first thing is, from now on, we must do everything we can to win."

Germain hummed.

"I originally planned to do this... Speaking of which, you are the only one who wants to take the risk, go one-on-one, and defeat Meruem."

Nitro stroked the short beard on his chin with a smile, then reached out and knocked on his chest.

"The second thing is that the bomb "Poverty's Rose" connected to my heart has not been defused. It seems that "Archangel's Breath" will not regard it as an injury. "

"Once my heart stops beating, this 'Poor Man's Rose' will blast us all into the sky. Even if we survive by chance, the dispersed poison will be enough to kill us. "

"The "Archangel's Breath" can only be effective once for the same person. In other words, the next time I suffer a serious injury and die, you will be forced to follow me to hell. "

Germain had known these things for a long time, and it was he who told Nitro about the "restrictions and oaths" of the "Archangel's Breath Blowing".

Therefore, Nitro's words were not meant for him, but for Meruem.

In fact, the "first thing" and the "second thing" he refers to are the same thing.

That is, "From now on, we must do everything we can to fight only for victory."

Regardless of whether Meruem believed that there was such a bomb in Nitro's body, or whether he believed that this bomb would pose a threat to him, these words would have an effect sooner or later.

Next, there is a battle between despicable and shameless humans and the noble and aloof Chimera Ant King, which also includes troublesome psychological warfare.

Germain didn't say anything. He had already made up his mind before coming.

This kind of awareness is to defeat the "Ant King and the Three Guards" no matter what happens.

Not sticking to any form, not emotional.

In fact, whether it is the current timeline or the original timeline, people with such awareness have a real record in the decisive battle of the Chimera Ants.

For example, the current Germain killed two "Three Guards", and the record is 2/0/0.

The division commander Guido is an "artillery", which is ignored here.

For example, Netero in the original timeline died together with Meruem, and indirectly poisoned Owl Yapofu and Yupi, and the record is 3/1/0.

Xiaojie in the original timeline sacrificed his future and beat Neferpitou to death.

If it weren't for Killua's younger brother Alluka and Nanica to nurse Xiaojie, he would really die, and his final record is 1/0/0.

As for the other members of the Chimera Ants Suppression Team, except for Pom who has a record of 0/1/0, all have a record of 0/0/0.

You can't say that Mo Laowu, Nobu, Nakuru, Xiutuo and others were completely useless.

They played their respective roles and even gained an advantage at one point, but they failed due to various reasons.

Nakuru also empathized with Yupi and tried to solve the problem with Owl Yapofu through communication.

Their approach cannot be said to be wrong.

It's just that because of the gap in consciousness, they can only become noble warriors willing to sacrifice themselves, and cannot become people who turn the tide in desperate situations.

If it weren't for the "Rose of the Poor", Meruem, who was reborn by eating the flesh and blood of Yupi and Owl Yapofu, would probably cause greater casualties outside the Republic of East Goth.

To solve the reborn Meruem, the price paid is not just as simple as Netero's life.

At the critical moment, only Netero and Xiaojie achieved their goals at all costs, and only they really eliminated the threat of "Ant King and Three Guards".

This is the gap in consciousness.

At this time, Netero stretched out his third finger.

"The third thing is that Meruem can become stronger by devouring the flesh and blood of others, especially the flesh and blood of Psychic users, which means that his evolution is unlimited."

"We must not let him leave here, and we must not let him leave here after eating our flesh and blood. If we can't defeat him, I will still activate the "Rose of the Poor." "

Germain nodded.

Sure enough, these three things are actually all one thing.

There was silence in the abandoned weapons testing site for a while.

Meruem pressed his hands on the cold floor and slowly stood up.

He moved his eyes back and forth between Germain and Netero thoughtfully.

Finally, he glanced at the position of Netero's heart.

"I finally understand why you didn't join forces to deal with me immediately when you had such a helper. Because there was a disagreement between you. "

Meruem pointed at Netero.

"I assume that the bomb really exists, and you are planning to die with me, so you chose this battlefield and stay away from other human companions. "

Meruem pointed at Germain again.

"But you rejected this plan, you didn't want the old man to die. You had a disagreement, so you didn't join forces at the first time. "

Netero pursed his lips tightly, and his gray eyebrows drooped, revealing his old side.

It was said.

Meruem's judgment was amazing. After a short observation, he came to a conclusion that was very close to the fact.

Meruem looked at Germain and Netero.

"If I ruled you, you would never have such a disagreement, because I would fully listen to your opinions, make the most correct decision, and finally execute it to the end. "

"You lack a real "king" to lead you. "

Netero gritted his teeth.

"What a big talk..."

German shook his head.

"We do have differences, but this is not the only reason why I am late. "

"Before coming here, I still have something to do, that is to get rid of the "three guards". "

Meruem's calm eyes changed for the first time, and those eyes stared at Germain, as if locking him.

Germain spoke the truth in a tone without any provocation.

"Outside the palace, I dealt with Neferpitou. Inside the palace, I killed Yupi. Now only Owl Yapofu is still alive."

"They held on to their obsession of guarding the "king" until their death, and I crushed their obsession with the last blow."

"You may be their real "king", but it is precisely because of your existence that they did not choose a more flexible way to deal with it."

"Meruem, they died in my hands, but they also died because of you."
