Before executing the plan to annihilate the Phantom Troupe, Moses agreed to Menchi and Shizuku's requests to participate.
However, Moses did not let them participate in a head-on battle, but instead gave them the task of 'blocking the escape routes'. They could also choose the time to join the battle depending on the situation.
Shizuku was originally waiting for the opportunity outside the venue, but the noise made by 100-Type Guanyin was too loud.
So, Shizuku cleverly ran to the next floor, and then seized the perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack and kill Satoga.
She didn't have the kind of fighting spirit that would seem pedantic in many cases, so even though Satoga was in a very bad condition now, she never thought of giving Satoga a chance to die in a dignified manner, but instead end the battle quickly by exploiting his vulnerability.
Why waste time when you can just launch a sneak attack and end the battle quickly?
If it was Kastro, he would probably show up at this time and intercept Satoga from the front.
"Time to clean up the garbage."
Shizuku brought Blinky to Franklin's mangled corpse.
"Blinky, same order as before."
"Chirp!"
Blinky's eyes spun a few times, then it opened its mouth and inhaled sharply, sucking up Franklin's corpse and all the surrounding blood in seconds, leaving the area spotless.
After cleaning up the garbage, Shizuku looked up at the hole in the ceiling.
Meanwhile…
Fierce fighting continued in various places on the upper floor.
Hisoka is fighting against Machi.
Both of them are Transmuters, and regardless of the type of their Nen Ability, the levels of their Manifested Aura are similar, so in theory, they can display similar Nen attack and defense in battle.
However, like Franklin, Machi is one of the rare Nen Users who, due to acquired factors, is able to use the two Nen Categories more efficiently.
Franklin is an Emitter Enhancer-Type, while Machi is a Transmuter Transmuters.
Therefore, in pure Nen attack and defense, Hisoka's Aura conversion rate is weaker than Machi's.
It is worth mentioning that Machi is a gifted Nen User.
She was born with a natural eye. Even before learning what Nen was or awakening her abilities, she could directly see the existence of Aura.
However, when it comes to physical fitness and combat skills, Machi is no match for Hisoka.
Both of them have their own strengths, and after fighting for about two minutes, neither could gain the upper hand.
On the other side, Biscuit is fighting against Feitan.
A few years ago, the two had clashed at the Museum Exchange Conference.
At that time, Biscuit had to look after Menchi and Shizuku, so she couldn't go all out against Feitan.
Now, without any burdens holding her back, she could fully unleash her combined strength.
But-
Biscuit's loli form comes with a restriction.
Needless to say, in terms of physical strength and Manifested Aura, it's far inferior to her true form.
Although her meticulously honed Nen Techniques and rich combat experience would not be affected, the biggest limitation of her loli form was...
Biscuit's combat quality in all aspects remains constant.
That is to say, regardless of how many years she has been transformed or how hard she trains, her physical strength, Manifested Aura and other attributes in her loli form will not change.
However…
While her loli form comes with restrictions, if Biscuit wants to restore to her original combat power, it actually only takes a moment of transformation.
Therefore, what really limits Biscuit are the numerous high-speed cameras placed around the venue.
False Restriction: Loli Form (×)
True Restriction: Live Broadcast Cameras (√)
On the other hand, Feitan-
The confrontation at the Museum Exchange Conference happened several years ago.
In the past few years, Feitan could not have remained stagnant.
Combat experience, Nen Techniques, physical strength and speed must have all improved.
In other words…
Feitan's current performance in direct combat surpasses that of Biscuit in her loli form.
Especially in terms of speed, Feitan holds a clear advantage.
Even so, Feitan was unable to decisively suppress Biscuit, and it was also difficult for him to escape from Biscuit's pursuit.
If a Nen User's physical capabilities are considered hardware, then their Nen Techniques are the software.
The reason why Feitan cannot shake off Biscuit's entanglement is that Biscuit, as a seasoned martial artist, has achieved near-perfection in her Ryu mastery.
Biscuit can offset her hardware disadvantages by relying on the advantages brought by Ryu.
However, in her loli form, defeating the current Feitan is nearly impossible.
Unless Feitan loses his composure and suddenly uses advanced Nen Techniques like Ko, which sacrifices all-around defense...
But that's highly unlikely.
After all, Biscuit in her loli form does not have the super-human defense of a Chimera Ant Squadron Leader, so it is not worth it for Feitan to take the risk of using Ko.
Neither side could gain the upper hand for now.
After a few minutes of fighting, there was still no concrete result.
Meanwhile, on the western spectator stand, Kastro and Wapol were in a different situation.
Both of them are Enhancers, and their overall capabilities are also very similar, which lead to a brutal, visceral clash filled with fiery intensity.
However, precisely because both of them are Enhancers, no matter how fiercely they fight or how much commotion they make, there lacked a decisive factor to end the battle in one blow.
If anything, only the use of 'tactics' can break the current stalemate.
In fact—
The main reason why Moses was able to achieve such brilliant results in just a few minutes was that he properly utilized the strategic use of his Nen Abilities to leverage tactical value.
The three battle zones in the venue seemed to be at a stalemate.
As for Kurapika and Chrollo, it felt like they were dancing on the edge of a knife.
A single mistake could bring their battle to an end in a very short time.
After Kurapika had repeatedly thwarted his attacks, Chrollo realized that in his current state, it was basically impossible to ignore Kurapika's existence.
In addition, Moses's current condition, like that of an old monk sitting still, left Chrollo uncertain about the real situation.
Although initially Chrollo had suspected that Moses might exhaust his Potential Aura after using the Golden Guanyin, it was impossible to make a completely certain judgment just since Moses entered Zetsu state on the spot.
Therefore, before making his move, Chrollo still harbored some doubt.
After all, Moses's cunningness during the battle was something Chrollo couldn't forget.
However, after Chrollo made his move, despite Kurapika blocking several of his assassination attempts, Chrollo became convinced that Moses had indeed exhausted his Potential Aura.
The reason is…
Moses's trance-like reaction was so bizarre.
There is nothing wrong with using up the Potential Aura and being forced into Zetsu state to speed up recovery.
But why was he sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes in such a situation?
Chrollo didn't think he was overly suspicious by nature, but he couldn't understand Moses's intentions behind this behavior.
