"Sage Art: Shadow Clone Technique!" With a twist of his right hand and a simple hand seal, Meruem summoned a shadow clone of himself. Gently, he handed Artoria, who was leaning on him, to the clone in a princess carry.
"Take good care of her." Meruem said, although he knew this was his clone and understood that even if he didn't say much, the clone would know his thoughts. But this sentence full of concern still blurted out.
The clone nodded solemnly to the main body and instantly left the battlefield.
"Golden Pika, finally it's just the two of us here." Meruem took the initiative to speak. To be honest, he was getting a bit tired of everything in this world. If not for Sakura and the Ahoge King, perhaps he would have left of his own accord long ago.
As for the Ninth Sense he originally needed to find when coming to this world, he vaguely seemed to have some idea.
The Ninth Sense, the sense of the world's existence.
Meaning existence because of being alive.
Using Xianxia terms to describe it, the so-called Ninth Sense is the hub combining with the entire world, which is the so-called Qi Luck (Destiny/Fortune) in the mouths of cultivators.
And those who possess the Ninth Sense are people bearing great Qi Luck, the so-called people with profound blessings.
However, it doesn't mean that people with great Qi Luck definitely possess the Ninth Sense. The Ninth Sense is an extremely special realm in the Saint Seiya world. Possessing great Qi Luck is the stepping stone to obtaining the Ninth Sense.
And precisely because of this, the Major Gods, Middle Gods, and Minor Gods in the Saint Seiya world basically all possess the Ninth Sense.
That world respects gods, and gods naturally possess Qi Luck; there's nothing much to say about this.
At the same time, the Omega that appeared in the later Saint Seiya plot is the manifestation of humans possessing Qi Luck.
That is also the only way for other humans, besides those with certain god-slaying attributes, to defeat gods.
But when humans obtain Omega, it's almost the time when the human race faces the crisis of extinction. The Qi Luck of the human race is only so much in total. Unless the human population decreases to a terrifyingly low level, this Qi Luck won't gather on one or a few people.
Of course, this is all digression.
As the King of the Chimera Ant race, Meruem naturally possesses Qi Luck. But according to the original plot of "Hunter x Hunter", Chimera Ants cannot escape the tragedy of extinction, so although Meruem is the King, he doesn't possess much Qi Luck himself.
But the current Ant King is no longer the Ant King in the original work; he has changed everything. Having experienced several worlds, even killing several people with great Qi Luck in the Naruto world (e.g., Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki), swallowing the final villain (Abe no Seimei) of the "Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan" world, and even killing the strongest initial BOSS of the "Dragon Ball" world, the Universe Emperor Frieza.
Almost none of the above are not people bearing great Qi Luck. Actually, when Meruem first arrived in the Saint Seiya world, he already had the ability to reach the Ninth Sense. He just hadn't discovered it all along.
Until now, after experiencing so much, Meruem finally barely understood.
"Make your move, attack with full force, Goldie. I hope you won't disappoint me." After the enlightenment, Meruem himself didn't realize that his power had increased again at this moment.
If someone could observe carefully, they would discover that Meruem's various stats had reached an astounding EX at this moment.
Generally speaking, EX isn't considered a level, because there are highs and lows within EX. Its original meaning is off the charts.
For example, 10 is considered a boundary. 11 exceeds this limit; in terms of data, 11 is EX rank. Similarly, 100 also exceeds this limit, and is also represented by EX.
So how strong is the current Meruem? I'm afraid he himself cannot answer this question.
But one thing is certain: the current him is still not in his strongest period.
It has always been me talking to others in this tone; I didn't expect that one day someone would say this to me.
Unforgivable! Unforgivable!
Goldie's heart was full of anger. With a wave of his right hand, countless Noble Phantasms emerged from behind him again.
I must kill you! Let's see who can save you this time!
Gate of Babylon full fire! The enraged Goldie could no longer care about feeling distressed over Noble Phantasms.
He now had only one obsession left in his heart: kill the opponent! Let the opponent understand who is the true King.
Three thousand Noble Phantasms emerged from behind Goldie again, with immense momentum.
Countless Noble Phantasms fired together, attacking Meruem like a dense hail of bullets.
One had to admit, although Meruem looked down on Goldie's Gate of Babylon behavior of extremely wasting Noble Phantasms from the bottom of his heart, such a move was indeed very practical, a very tycoon approach.
Don't be cowardly, just do it! Smash you to death with Noble Phantasms!
"Useless, Golden Pika. If you only have this level, then I'll make you give up once and for all." Goldie suddenly felt very uneasy inside.
And just then, Meruem's body was slowly undergoing transformation.
Transformation. In an instant, Meruem changed back to his Chimera Ant form.
Bulging muscles, sharp limbs, and that unknown shell.
Facing the volley of countless Noble Phantasms, Meruem didn't take it seriously at all. He just waved lightly towards Goldie's position.
World-destroying power spewed out instantly.
"This is the first time I've used this move."
"Athena Exclamation!" A hugely powerful thunderbolt, Athena Exclamation. Abbreviated as A.E., it is a move where three Gold Saints concentrate their Cosmo to the limit at one point for an attack. Also known as the "Shadow Tactic", its destructive power in a small range is comparable to the Big Bang that created the universe.
And what Meruem performed was the solo A.E. created by Regulus, the Leo Gold Saint known as the most talented Gold Saint.
Although not as good as the trinity tactic, its power was also earth-shattering.
The immense power destroyed all three thousand of Goldie's Noble Phantasms in an instant; after all, this was an attack comparable to the Big Bang.
Even cracks appeared in the space of the Gate of Babylon behind Goldie.
Goldie was decisive; seeing that he couldn't contend with the opponent's attack, he very decisively jumped onto a strange green flying machine—Vimana. Controlling Vimana to rapidly flee from the spot.
"Truly a monster!" Standing on the Throne of Heaven, Goldie looked at Meruem and said resentfully. Because he had lost three thousand Noble Phantasms again.
