East Kota Republic, capital.

In the palace.

The ant king is playing chess with the blind girl.

The two played dozens of games, and the ant king's chess skills increased rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But still can't win even one game.

This 'invincible' duel caused some subtle changes in the ant king's mood.

Outside the palace.

A chimera ant with wavy white hair and a pair of cat ears on its head sat in a half-crouching position on the column at the top of the tallest building.

This ant is named Nephi Peter.

He is one of the three ants in the "direct bodyguard" of the Ant King, and is also Xiaojie's enemy, the chimera ant that killed Kate.

At this time, Nephi Peter's whole body was releasing terrifying 'qi'.

This energy spread out in an irregular circle with Nephi Peter as the center, and actually enveloped the entire palace with a radius of more than two kilometers!

This is an application technique called "circle" in the "reading" ability.

Let the "qi" expand outward with itself as the center of the circle, and you can detect intruders within the range covered by the qi.

Generally speaking, the basic "circle" needs to be able to expand to two meters with itself as the center and be positioned for one minute to be considered qualified.

A person with powerful telekinesis ability can expand the diameter of 300 meters.

And the "circle" that Nephi Peter expanded at this time completely covered the entire huge palace.

This can no longer be described with the word "awesome", and its "circle" has lasted all day without interruption for a second.

Sudden.

Nephi Peter, who was squatting on the column, suddenly raised his head, his red eyes staring in a certain direction in the sky.

There, a figure was approaching quickly.

"Flying humans?"

When Nephi Peter saw the figure approaching the palace at extremely fast speeds, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he withdrew the "circle" that was used to guard the palace, tensed his whole body, and took a defensive posture.

Although I don’t know how the figure flies.

But the opponent's goal of heading straight towards the palace, and the undisguised 'murderous intent' all over his body, have been clearly stated without a doubt.

That's the enemy!

And it’s a very powerful enemy!

"Um?"

In the palace.

The Ant King and the guards beside him, who were playing chess with the blind girl, felt puzzled when Nephi Peter's "circle" suddenly disappeared.

"There must be something going on."

Xiaoya Pufu, one of the three guards directly under his command, turned his head and looked outside, saying: "Please feel free to play chess while my subordinates go out and take a look."

"Go ahead."

The ant king looked away, waved his hand and said, "Don't let anyone disturb me."

"yes!"

Pufu bowed respectfully to the Ant King, and then quickly walked out of the main hall.

After he came out, he happened to meet another one of the three guards directly under him, Meng Tutu Youpi, who came over.

"You also felt that Peter's "circle" suddenly disappeared." Yupi saw Pufu coming out and stepped forward and asked.

"Um."

Pufu nodded, and then he and Yupi looked in the direction of Peter at the same time. Looking in the direction of his gaze, he also saw the figure that was approaching quickly in the distant sky.

"Humanity...are the enemy?"

Yupi's face showed excitement, but he immediately calmed down and said: "There is only one, it seems that we don't need our help."

"No, there must be more than one enemy."

Pufu looked at the figure that was about to arrive and said with certainty: "The person in front of us may just be a 'bait' to attract our attention, trying to lure us away from the 'King'.

Our duty is to protect the ‘King’, so no matter what happens next, we cannot leave the ‘King’ for even a step!”

"I see!"

After hearing this, Yupi nodded seriously, then sat down directly outside the palace and said: "As long as I am here, I will not let any enemy get even half a step closer to the 'King'."

…

Somewhere outside the palace.

"It's so grand..."

Nitro, who had already arrived here, looked at the rapidly approaching figure in the sky, with a smile on his face and said: "That kid, I didn't expect him to be able to fly."

"Is he the helper you hired? That kid named Uchiha Madara?"

Next to Nitro, there was an old man with white hair, two long beards at the corners of his mouth, and a long scarf with the words "One Kill a Day" written on his chest.

This old man is another strong supporter whom Nitro spent a huge amount of money to hire, Geno Beat the enemy!

That is Killua's grandfather.

“It’s really an amazing thought.”

Although it was still far away, Geno could already clearly feel the 'qi' on Uchiha Madara, and then looked at Nitro and asked: "He has completely attracted the attention of the ant, that amazing

"Yuan" is also put away.

So, what are we going to do?"

"Ho ho ho ho."

Nitro stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "Things have already reached this point, what else can be done?

Of course it was to rob...well, to cooperate with him."

"President!"

At this time, a black hole appeared on the ground next to the two people.

A man in a suit and glasses suddenly emerged from the 'black hole' and said to Nitro: "Mo Laowu called and said that they will be here at the palace soon..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

Because he had already seen Madara Uchiha flying above the palace in the sky.

"Nobu, get ready for action."

Nitro moved his body, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and said: "There is no need for plans or anything like that.

I won’t tell you what to do next, you can act according to your own circumstances.

If we can all survive in the end..."

Before he finished speaking, Nitro and Geno were already galloping towards the palace.

"Can everyone survive...?"

Norbu looked at the two figures of Nitro, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and then he activated his ability, and the 'black hole' appeared under his feet, and then his whole body slowly sank.

…

royal palace.

Uchiha Madara's figure hovered above the palace, his eyes glanced at the chimera ants squatting on the stone pillars below, and then swept around the palace.

He is searching for the location of the ant king.

'Are you looking for the 'king'?'

When Nephi Peter saw Uchiha Madara's gaze sweeping over him, the look in his red eyes suddenly became dangerous, and then his tense legs suddenly exerted force.

Peng!~

The stone pillar under his feet exploded, and Nephi Peter's figure rushed towards Madara Uchiha who was hovering in mid-air with the sound of a roaring sonic boom, his sharp claws ready to attack.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!~

Just when the explosive Nephi Peter was about to approach Uchiha Madara, three figures came one after another and blocked it at the same time.

These three figures are Suzano'o, who is following Madara Uchiha, and Nitro and Geno, who are coming to support.

At this moment, the eyes of the three figures met, and then each made a different move.

Netero and Suzano'o made an attack gesture at the same time, preparing to stop Nephi Peter, while Geno stopped directly, and then floated back.

"Oops, this is a trap, I fell into it!"
