Reborn in HXH: I Plundered Infinite Traits

Genthru's face instantly changed. His smile froze briefly before he forced it back onto his face.

He tried to pull his hand free, only to discover in shock that the opponent, despite clearly being a young man, had a grip like rebar, holding onto him with a death grip.

This guy's physical strength was truly a bit too exaggerated.

"I don't know what you're talking about. A Bomber is someone everyone wants to kill! How could it possibly be me?~"

Genthru explained with a smile.

"Yeah, how could it possibly be Lord Genthru! Lord Genthru has been so good to us! He even thoughtfully explained the things we need to pay attention to during our beginner phase. I think you're just jealous of Lord Genthru."

"Hurry up and let go of Lord Genthru!"

"This guy is biting the hand that feeds him. Lord Genthru so kindly explained things beginners should watch out for, and yet he's slandering our fair Lord."

"Damn brat!"

...

The other novice players present began to reprimand Riku one after another.

Even Killua and Gon-kun were filled with worry.

It seemed Riku's actions just now had incited public outrage.

Even the stubble-faced man hurriedly stepped forward, planning to defuse the situation. But before he could speak, he saw Riku smile and directly raise his arm.

To be precise, he grabbed the opponent, lifted him completely off the ground, and was about to smash him heavily onto the floor!

"Damn it! How could this brat have so much strength! Damn it! If this continues, I'll die."

Genthru's expression turned incredibly ugly. He had originally planned...

To plant bombs on all the players and then use the threat of the bombs to obtain all their cards.

This way, he would inevitably secure a chance to clear the game. With dozens or even over a hundred players gathering cards together, how could they possibly fail to clear it?

But he never expected that his plan, barely halfway executed, would be exposed by this damn brat before him.

If he didn't use his ability now, he could guarantee that if the opponent smashed him heavily like this, he would be half-crippled if not dead.

In Riku's eyes, this guy's traits were indeed quite good.

However, using them was quite cumbersome. For example, when planting a bomb on a target, one had to say the word 'Bomber' and touch the opponent's body.

What was even more fatal was that for the planted bomb to activate successfully, he still needed to explain the Bomber's ability in detail to the target.

This was exactly why he was playing the nice guy here, explaining the beginner's manual to all the newcomers, and specifically focusing on the Bomber and things to watch out for.

He even deliberately went over to pat people's shoulders to comfort them. These measures were actually all meant to turn these novice players into his beasts of burden.

Unfortunately for him, he encountered Riku, a transmigrator. Moreover, the system Riku possessed allowed him to see through this guy's true identity at a glance.

The Bomber hiding among the crowd!

In this critical moment of crisis, Genthru didn't dare hold back any longer.

Using a voice only he could hear, he gritted his teeth and let out a low hum, "Release!!"

This was the spell to detonate the bomb!

BOOM—

Just the instant Riku was about to smash Genthru heavily onto the ground, a deafening explosion erupted.

To everyone's utter shock, Riku, who was standing in place, actually exploded entirely, and Genthru was directly blown away by the blast's shockwave.

This sudden explosion left everyone dumbfounded on the spot.

Gon-kun and Killua's minds went completely blank. They could only hear their hearts pounding wildly. In their minds, they instantly recalled the player they had witnessed being blown up by a bomb right after they entered the game.

In that instant, they also realized that a bomb had been planted on Riku as well.

"Riku!! Riku!!"

"It's the Bomber!!"

Gon-kun and Killua's emotions were practically on the verge of losing control. Their minds kept flashing back to the player blown to pieces. They absolutely did not want to see Riku blown up like that.

It wasn't just the two of them; the other players present were also ashen-faced, their expressions etched with shock, horror, and fear.

The Bomber had practically become a terrifying term in this game, because no one knew where this bizarre opponent was hiding, nor when the bomb would suddenly detonate and take the lives of the players.

No one knew if they would be the next victim.

Huff, huff, huff...

Genthru was sent flying, sliding thirty or forty meters across the ground before he barely managed to stop himself. However, his right hand was dripping with blood, and his sleeve was completely torn to shreds.

Even though he had just broken free from Riku's grip, the bomb had still dealt him a considerable shock.

However, it could be considered a close call. At the very least, he had dealt with this brat who had seen through his identity.

"Genthru!? What... what exactly just happened? Why did he say you're the Bomber, and why did an explosion suddenly happen just now?"

The stubble-faced man also reacted.

He stared with burning, intensely vigilant eyes at this man before him, who was incredibly familiar yet incredibly foreign.

It wasn't just him; the other players present, including the novices, also reacted.

Because Riku had merely pointed out that this guy was the Bomber, and then an explosion occurred on him. This was simply far too coincidental. Although everyone was a beginner, they absolutely weren't fools.

Players who could enter this game and possess Nen abilities were elites among elites in the outside world.

For a moment, everyone's expression turned somewhat ugly as they looked at Genthru, their eyes filled with danger and wariness.

Many players even instinctively took a few steps back, putting distance between themselves and this guy.

"Hehehe, hehehehe, hahahahahaha!!"

Genthru covered his face and began to laugh slowly, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

The laughter grew louder and louder, eventually turning into maniacal laughter.

Originally a genial and friendly man, the smile on his face was now exceptionally savage and crazed. The look he gave everyone was filled with unprecedented cruelty and contempt.

"Hahahahahahaha! I originally wanted to interact with you guys as an ordinary person, but now I'm not pretending anymore. I'm laying my cards on the table."

"Indeed, I am the Bomber! I originally wanted to pretend a little longer, but since I've been directly found out by this guy, there's no point in keeping up the act."

"Because I've already planted bombs on the majority of you. If you want to follow in his footsteps, feel free to try and attack me."

Genthru laughed maniacally, his unbridled gaze sweeping over the crowd—arrogant and domineering!

Those words perfectly described his expression right now.

"Fuck! Only an idiot would believe your threats! So you're the Bomber! My brother died by your hands, so you go to hell too."

A player roared lowly, his figure instantly vanishing from the spot, and in the next instant, appearing behind Genthru.

He directly drew two sharp daggers, aiming to slit Genthru's throat.

"Release!"

But unexpectedly, Genthru merely snapped his fingers. A cold glint flashed across his glasses, and the player behind him exploded with a loud bang!

Blood and internal organs splattered!

Like raindrops, they fell from high above.

The player who tried to sneak attack Genthru had his entire head blown off, his headless corpse crashing heavily to the ground.

This scene instantly made the other players turn as pale as paper.

Their expressions became exceptionally grim.

As expected.

So this guy was the murderous Bomber hiding behind the scenes. Everyone had trusted this guy so much before, not expecting him to be the true mastermind.

"Genthru... you, you're not..."

The stubble-faced man looked at his former partner in disbelief. He never expected this usually gentle and refined guy to be the most deeply hidden murderous maniac. This instantly overturned the stubble-faced man's worldview.

"Hehe, the only foolish ones are you guys. From beginning to end, I never considered you friends. In my eyes, you are nothing more than a bunch of beasts of burden. Unfortunately for you, I've already planted bombs on all of you.

And I can tell you explicitly, the bombs have already started their countdowns. The time is linked to your heartbeats. The faster your heart beats, the faster the bomb's countdown will deplete.

When your time is up, there will be a loud bang, and you'll become warm corpses just like the two behind me."

Genthru laughed maniacally, laughing unbridledly.

Those players who hadn't been planted with bombs posed no threat to him whatsoever.

At least in his view, these novice rookies were all exceedingly weak.

And the slightly stronger players had basically all been planted with his bombs.

Now, he was in complete control of the overall situation.

"Damn it! Damn it! Absolutely unforgivable, you were deceiving us all along!"

Gon-kun was incredibly furious.

However, neither he nor Killua had bombs planted on them, because the first person the opponent chose to plant a bomb on was impressively Riku. But he had been seen through right in Riku's hands.

"This was not our original intention. We truly just wanted to build a peaceful player organization without any harm!!"

The stubble-faced man explained, suddenly realizing he also had an extra bomb on him.

Genthru laughed maniacally.

Although all this was happening slightly earlier than planned, it didn't matter anymore. His bombs were mostly planted, and he had gathered almost enough cards.

Even if these guys handed over their cards to him, he had no intention of letting them go.

Those willing to submit to him would continue to serve as beasts of burden; those unwilling would be directly killed.

He wasn't stupid enough to let the tiger return to the mountain and release his enemies.

But as he laughed, he suddenly noticed that the expressions of the players present were a bit off.

Because the fear on their faces seemed to have vanished. Instead, they were all staring weirdly in the direction behind him.

What's wrong?

Behind me?

What's there?

Isn't it just Riku and the other guy who tried to attack me? They've all become corpses, what's there to look at?

Genthru, full of doubts, slowly turned his head, and was shocked to see something he couldn't believe for the rest of his life.

Because behind him, Riku, who had clearly been blown up, was actually slowly standing up right now.

There wasn't a single wound to be seen on his body. Aside from his clothes being ruined by the bomb, it even gave the illusion that the bomb hadn't exploded on him at all.

He couldn't even see a slight trace of scorching.

Damn it!

What exactly is going on? This guy was clearly planted with my bomb, and it was detonated on the spot.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for me to escape his grasp just now.

In the crowd.

A beautiful little loli with golden twin-tails looked towards the crowd with bright, sparkling eyes.

A faint smile lingered on the corners of her mouth.

Because from the very beginning, she had always felt that Riku, who was hit by the bomb explosion, didn't die directly.

"As expected! As expected, he's incredibly powerful. To rely purely on physical strength to block the opponent's bomb attack... this is probably the most powerful physical body I've ever seen!!"

The loli with golden twin-tails couldn't help but murmur softly, the look she gave Riku growing even brighter.

Behind Genthru, Riku gently patted his clothes.

"Sigh, truly barbaric. Resorting to bombs at the drop of a hat. Now you've ruined my clothes. Aren't you going to consider how to compensate me?"

Riku looked at Genthru with a half-smile.

The instant Genthru saw Riku, he felt his scalp tremble.

This feeling was exactly like watching someone get buried in a coffin, and then that guy stands up and comes back to life.

Because he was incredibly confident in his bomb ability. From the beginning when he awakened this ability, he had never failed once.

Any opponent who was detonated, even guys with strength greater than his own, absolutely couldn't withstand it.

This is a bomb, after all!

But why couldn't he see any bomb explosion scars on this brat before him?

Aside from the opponent's ruined clothes indicating there had just been an explosion, it made everything feel like a dream.

"Compensate your mom!!"

Reacting, Genthru roared furiously. He absolutely did not believe his bomb would actually fail.

It was highly likely the opponent was carrying some sort of defensive item that blocked his bomb explosion once. But such an item was absolutely extremely precious; it was impossible for this guy to have a second one on him.

Therefore!

He decided to rush up and forcefully blow the opponent to death directly.

But to his shock.

The opponent's figure vanished from the spot, and in the next instant, appeared right in front of him.

So fast!!

Genthru felt his brain couldn't process it, because this speed was simply too exaggerated. It even exceeded the fastest movement speed cards in this game world.

Moreover, this guy hadn't summoned his magic book at all just now.

Could it be he rushed over purely using his physical strength?

"Truly impolite. Then you can pay me with your life!"

Riku suddenly smiled.

BOOM—

His fist landed lightly on the opponent's abdomen.

Instantly, a shockwave visible to the naked eye blossomed from the point of impact between the fist and the abdomen.

Genthru was sent flying backward with a loud crash like a sandbag, his flying figure even producing a Mach cone!
