Among the three, Satoga was the first to recover.
Though the injuries on his body were at an acceptable level, the sheer power of 100-Type Guanyin had completely shattered his will to fight.
'We're not even on the same level...'
When he was blasted into the ground by 100-Type Guanyin's palm strike, Satoga finally understood Chrollo's 'good intentions'.
'No wonder the group had poured so much effort into creating countermeasures. No wonder they'd invested so much time and energy into tailored Nen Abilities.'
'Because the target is a complete monster...'
Satoga staggered to his feet, and swirling dust covered his vision. Yet, even through the haze, the radiant golden light of 100-Type Guanyin burned vividly, piercing the obscuring veil.
Satoga's eyes trembled violently, and he had completely lost the will to fight.
And then-
He saw the golden light behind the smoke suddenly intensified.
At the next moment…
The golden light came before his eyes.
It was the golden palm strike again, coming with overwhelming force.
Boom!
Satoga, who had just stood up, had no time to react before the golden palm slammed him back into the ground.
At the same time…
Chrollo and Franklin, who were at the bottom of other pits, once again suffered a barrage of ferocious attacks from the 100-Type Guanyin.
At this time, Moses had used the second set of Ninety-Ninth Hand.
Realizing he couldn't remove the mask, Moses decided to maximize the remaining time by launching another attack at Chrollo and the others before the mask's duration expired.
Though his Potential Aura was almost depleted...
If it was used on 100-Type Guanyin, although it is not as flexible as Soul Echo, it can maximize the destructive power of his Potential Aura.
Judging from Moses's usual style of doing things, he would actually be more inclined to use this Potential Aura on Soul Echo.
After all, the ability to create shadow clone and change position offered greater adaptability.
If 100-Type Guanyin cannot completely end the battle, he will be in danger of exhausting his Potential Aura.
Even so, he still chose the latter.
Because Biscuit and Kurapika are still in the venue...
More importantly, Kurapika had just killed Bonolenov.
It can be said that the appearance of 100-Type Guanyin had given Kurapika an opportunity to quickly end the battle.
And Kurapika, who quickly ended the battle, became the decisive catalyst for Moses' next choice.
Boom, boom, boom-
The second round of Ninety-Ninth Hand struck like a torrential storm, its overwhelming power finally piercing through the reinforced floor.
Rumble, rumble-
Accompanied by deafening noise, shattered debris and steel beams rained down onto the lower level.
Chrollo, Franklin and Satoga, who were originally lying at the bottom of the pit, were swept along with the falling wreckage, tumbling down amidst the chaos.
The bamboo-like arms of 100-Type Guanyin suddenly stretched out, and the palm strikes it sent out were like meteors, pressing down on Chrollo and the other two, who were in mid-air.
Boom, boom, boom...
Chrollo and the other two were smashed into the ground like ragdolls.
At the moment their backs hit the ground, golden light arrived as promised and hit them again.
Among the three, Franklin, who was already seriously injured, could no longer withstand the violent impact. His eyes rolled back, and blood oozed from his mouth, nose, and ears.
When the golden light finally disappeared, it also signaled the end of Moses's second assault.
However, Franklin's massive frame lay broken and bloodied. His skull, left chest, right abdomen, and both thighs were deeply caved in, leaving pools of blood seeping beneath him.
He was utterly and unmistakably dead.
On the other hand, Satoga, who was the least injured before, suffered a devastating blow as his Three-Minute Heat enhancement was forcibly dispelled by the second barrage.
Though he was still conscious, blood was oozing from his mouth and nose, clear evidence that he had suffered serious internal injuries.
More importantly, he lost the amplification buff activated through the warm-up.
As for Chrollo-
He was also still conscious, and after enduring the second round of palm strikes from 100-Type Guanyin, his injuries appeared less severe than the current Satoga's.
However, for some reason, more than half of Chrollo's hair had turned white, and even his handsome face had visibly become much older.
…
On the floor above…
The towering golden figure of 100-Type Guanyin began to fade, its radiant light slowly vanishing.
As the golden lotus platform disappeared, Moses slowly descended to the ground.
At this point, he had already exhausted all of his Potential Aura and was forced into Zetsu state.
Although the duration of the Illusion of the Thousand Changes is eight seconds, due to his exhausted Potential Aura, Moses actually only used 100-Type Guanyin for about six seconds.
But these six seconds-
Not only extinguished the last hope of the Phantom Troupe, but also left an indelible mark on all who witnessed the spectacle.
Especially for the three members of the Phantom Troupe who were still fighting in the venue, Machi, Feitan, and Wapol.
After seeing the power of 100-Type Guanyin with their own eyes, one can imagine the mental pressure they were under.
Even if they noticed Moses's current state, they no longer had the advantage in numbers...
In any case, the fact that the Phantom Troupe has been severely damaged is an established reality.
…
After finishing his battle, Kurapika immediately rushed to Moses's side.
"Master…"
When Kurapika saw Moses completely drained of Aura, he immediately realized what was going on.
'The endless high-intensity battles, coupled with the extremely terrifying Golden Guanyin, must have exhausted all of Master's Potential Aura.'
Noticing Kurapika's approach and hearing his voice, Moses did not respond. Instead, he quietly sat cross-legged on the ground. His expression shifted from pensive to contemplative as he slowly closed his eyes.
The Illusion of the Thousand Changes had disappeared, and along with it, the completely replicated 100-Type Guanyin had also disappeared.
However-
The 'experience' of using 100-Type Guanyin remained, imprinted in Moses's mind.
Moses could feel the lingering traces of its immense power and potential, and he didn't want to waste this rare opportunity to push closer to that 'ultimate realm'.
Thus, even in Zetsu state, Moses sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate, immersing himself in the insights and sensations brought by 100-Type Guanyin.
Kurapika, who was next to him, didn't understand what was going on and could only stay by Moses's side silently.
It was then that Chrollo emerged.
Jumping back to the upper floor, his hair was half white, his face was old, and his eyes were dull and lifeless.
However-
Chrollo still had the energy to fight, and his eyes were fixed on Moses, who was in Zetsu state.
Seeing this, Kurapika moved his feet to shield Moses from Chrollo's cold gaze.
