Hunter X Hunter: The Phantom Troupe's Carnage.

Chapter 38: The Strongest X Peak

As Gon's transformation reached its peak, the air around him seemed to distort and ripple, as if reality itself was being warped by his immense power. Chrollo, despite his calm demeanor, couldn't help but feel a hint of unease as he gazed upon the boy who had transcended humanity.

The ground beneath their feet began to crack and shatter, as if the very foundations of the earth were being torn apart by Gon's unbridled energy. The sky above darkened, as if the heavens themselves were responding to the boy's fury.

Chrollo, with a subtle smile, raised his hand, and the pages of his book began to flutter wildly. The words within the book seemed to come alive, swirling around him in a vortex of Nen energy.

"You're a formidable opponent, Gon Freecs," Chrollo said, his voice laced with a hint of admiration. "But you're no match for my abilities. I'll show you the true meaning of power."

With a swift motion, Chrollo activated one of his Nen abilities, summoning a massive, spectral entity from the pages of his book. The entity, a towering behemoth of energy, loomed over Gon, its presence radiating an aura of crushing despair.

Gon, undaunted by the entity's intimidating presence, charged forward with a fierce battle cry. His fists, now imbued with his raw, untamed power, glowed with an intense, golden light.

The two forces clashed, Gon's fists meeting the entity's spectral form in a explosion of energy that shook the very foundations of the earth. The battle raged on, with neither side giving an inch, as the outcome hung precariously in the balance.

Killua and Kurapika, watching from the sidelines, exchanged a worried glance. They knew that Gon's transformation was a double-edged sword – it granted him immense power, but also put him at risk of losing control.

"We need to end this quickly," Killua said, his voice laced with concern. "Gon's not going to be able to keep this up for much longer."

Kurapika nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed intently on the battle unfolding before them. "I'll try to find an opening to strike.

The storm of energy surrounding Gon intensified as his raw, unrestrained aura continued to swell. His transformation had long since surpassed the boundaries of human comprehension. His once boyish features were twisted into a mask of primal fury, his eyes glowing like molten gold. Every step he took sent tremors through the ground, cracks spidering outward like a web of destruction.

Chrollo stood firm, though his usual calm demeanor was now marked by the slightest tension in his brow. He was no stranger to powerful opponents, but the sheer magnitude of Gon’s presence was unlike anything he had ever faced. With a wave of his hand, the spectral entity he had summoned lunged at Gon, its colossal claws slashing through the air with terrifying speed.

But Gon was faster.

With a roar that shook the heavens, Gon met the entity head-on, shattering its form with a single punch that sent shockwaves rippling outward. The golden glow of his fists surged brighter, as if daring Chrollo to summon more.

Chrollo's brow furrowed as he flipped through the pages of Skill Hunter. "Very well," he murmured, his voice steady despite the chaos. "Let’s see if you can handle this."

He activated Doppelgänger, creating an identical copy of himself, both moving in perfect unison. From the book, Gallery Fake was unleashed, spawning a horde of replicas that surrounded Gon. They moved in synchronization, a blur of deception and strategy, each one a potential threat.

Gon didn't hesitate. He leapt into the fray, his fists tearing through the clones like paper, golden streaks of light marking his every strike. Yet, the true Chrollo lurked in the chaos, biding his time, analyzing Gon's movements with cold precision.
