Chapter 530: Watching You Over Even After Death; Post-Mortem Nen
When it comes to expertise in games, there are very few in this world who can surpass him.
Even though Shaiapouf is one of the more intelligent Chimera Ants, as long as he plays a game with Ging, in the end, there will be no result other than failure.
As such, when Shaiapouf loses the game, regardless of the punishment he receives, it will be at the mercy of Ging.
It can be said that Ging defeating Shaiapouf was the most predictable and unsurprising outcome.
"Since you have already resolved your side, I will go straight to the point..."
Lan directly said: "Before the Ant King left this world, he left one final will."
"And that was to ensure the safety of the blind girl, Komugi, who had been playing Gungi with him."
"I promised him and informed Neferpitou, one of the Royal Guards, to fulfill this task."
"After all, obeying the Ant King's command is the basic duty of his royal guards."
"Furthermore, I promised the Ant King that Komugi's remaining time would be spent safely."
Ging understood: "So, you want to protect that woman, Komugi, right?"
He thought for a moment and then nodded: "I think you did the right thing, and I believe everyone else will agree."
Besides keeping the promise to the Ant King, Ging was also thinking of something deeper.
For example, those who have died but still have strong obsessions will transform this obsession into…
"A post-mortem Nen."
For any powerful Nen user, there's an issue to consider after their death: If their heart still holds onto unresolved attachments, it can give rise to a powerful post-mortem Nen.
The stronger the person, the greater their Nen and aura, and the deeper their mastery.
If such a person dies with unfulfilled desires, their post-mortem Nen can bring about unimaginable disasters.
Unless, like Netero, someone has come to terms with everything before death, leaving their heart at peace.
As for the Ant King, he was the strongest in the world and had things left unresolved in his heart… if he died with such strong attachments, his post-mortem Nen would be incredibly dangerous.
At the moment, there was no sign of it, perhaps because he was concerned about the safety of Komugi.
Now, Lan had promised to protect Komugi, and that's why his post-mortem Nen had not yet manifested.
But if Lan failed to fulfill his promise, or if Komugi were killed...
That hidden post-mortem Nen might be released when Komugi dies.
With the Ant King's formidable strength, it could potentially sweep the entire world.
The 'everyone' Ging mentioned was the mastermind behind the Chimera Ant incident.
Those who orchestrated the arrival of the Chimera Ants on the six continents and caused such chaos weren't ordinary people.
They at least knew about Nen and its powers.
These people would also be aware of the taboo regarding post-mortem Nen and would be cautious not to provoke it unnecessarily.
A harmless human-like Komugi posed no threat.
Letting her go, pretending not to see her, and not pursuing her would not be a troublesome matter.
This way, the Ant King's post-mortem Nen would remain dormant and continue to stay silent.
As long as these people were not foolish, they wouldn't risk triggering his post-mortem Nen.
Therefore, in this sense, Komugi was absolutely safe.
Not only would they not harm her, but they might even protect her, ensuring she faces no danger.
Even after his death, the Ant King would still be, in some way, watching over Komugi.
Ging continued: "So, have you thought about how to make arrangements for the blind girl?"
"Yeah, more or less."
Lan replied, having thought about it: "She initially played Gungi to ensure her family could live a good life by winning championship prizes in various competitions."
"So, she was gambling her life on it, knowing that if she lost, she would commit suicide."
"I'll first solve her worries and give her family a large sum of money so they can live comfortably for the rest of their lives."
"Then, I'll take her to a safe place where she can focus on Gungi and do whatever she wants."
"I'll have Neferpitou protect her safety, and as for the safe place..."
Lan paused for a moment, then didn't continue.
Ging, on the other end, immediately understood: "You mean my Greed Island, right?"
"I get it. Only that place of mine can accommodate dangerous elements like Neferpitou and the Chimera Ants."
Greed Island is large and isolated from the world.
On the island, there are powerful figures like Razor and List overseeing things, and they also have control over the game rules.
Even if Neferpitou is extremely powerful, under the influence of the game's rules, no matter how crazy she gets, she won't be able to cause much of a disturbance.
"No problem, I'll have them sent to the island."
"If she wants to play Gungi, she can communicate with other players online."
Having understood the arrangements, Ging made sure everything was in place.
"That's settled then."
Lan smiled: "As for everything else, I don't have much more to say. But..."
He glanced at Gon, who was staring eagerly at him with wide eyes, almost desperate for attention.
"Now that the Chimera Ant extermination is almost over and nearing its end, you should meet your own son, right, Ging?"
