Using a special move to deal with a Nen Clone...
This is exactly what happened after Phinks changed his mind.
Even if it required consuming 20% or 30% of his Aura to destroy a shadow clone that might only have 10% of Moses's Aura, it didn't matter.
Because he is not fighting alone.
With this mindset, Phinks flashed in front of the shadow clone. A ball of terrifying Aura with arcs of electricity condensed on his right fist. At first glance, it looked like Gon's Jajanken.
"Your abilities are indeed very versatile, but in contrast, your shadow clone poses no threat at all. At most, it is just a tool for you to implement your tactics..."
Seizing the moment, Phinks launched a powerful punch at the shadow clone.
The Aura's immense power radiated a dazzling golden light, with arcs of electricity indicating its formidable strength.
However-
Just as Phinks was about to unleash the accumulated Aura on the shadow clone, an unexpected scene happened.
The shadow clone did not attempt to evade, but instead lunged towards Phinks.
It looked as if it was willingly sacrificing itself.
Phinks was momentarily surprised, but had no intention to alter his attack.
The power accumulated in his Ripper Cyclotron was enough to destroy anything in its path.
The ferocious Aura, carried by the forward thrust of his fist, struck the shadow clone.
The immense power instantly obliterated the shadow clone's head and upper body.
However, as the golden light illuminated the surroundings, a small bat antenna landed steadily on the instep of the shadow clone's right foot.
Thud-
The shadow clone straightened its instep and kicked forward.
The antenna, with its bat wings, immediately shot towards Phinks's calf.
Zzsstt!
The sharp end of the small bat antenna pierced Phinks's calf.
"Hmm?"
Phinks felt a slight sting in his calf, but didn't think much of it at first.
Because, up to this point in the confrontation, the only threat Moses could bring to him was the penetrating Emission attack and the tactical use of Shadow Shift.
A mere shadow clone was hardly a threat to him.
With this thought in mind, after Phinks confirmed that the shadow clone had disintegrated, he looked down at his calf where he had felt the sting.
What came into view was something he was very familiar with.
'Is this... Shalnark's antenna?'
Seeing the iconic small bat antenna embedded in his calf, Phinks was stunned, completely puzzled by the situation.
'Why is Shalnark's Manipulation Ability antenna here?'
'So-'
'This antenna was the one that shadow clone stabbed into my calf before it disintegrated?'
As the question arose, Phinks suddenly lost all sensation of his body, as if he had suddenly lost all control and touch of his body.
And above the small devil antenna that he was looking at, a ball of dark Nen floated out.
'Shalnark's ability... has been activated?'
Phinks suddenly realized something.
'How is it possible!!!'
Phinks's eyes contracted sharply, feeling an unprecedented shock to his perception, with his face showing an expression of utter disbelief.
At the next second.
All emotion in his eyes and even on his face suddenly vanished.
The coercive Manipulation-Type Ability suppressed his consciousness and soul at that moment.
Automatic Mode, Activated!
Phinks' body suddenly erupted with a tremendous surge of Aura.
Then-
He began to spin his arms.
The terrifying Aura soaring into the sky immediately caught everyone's attention.
Franklin glanced quickly at Phinks and immediately noticed the small bat antenna stuck in Phinks's calf.
'What exactly is going on?'
Franklin's heart was shaken and his understanding was completely overturned.
Excellent Nen Users will adjust their strategies according to the changing conditions in the heat of battle.
Franklin and Phinks did just that.
They changed their tactics, no longer fixating on delivering a heavy blow to Moses's main body, but instead aiming to quickly deplete Moses's Potential Aura through strategic means.
So, Moses also made corresponding adjustments based on the changes in the situation.
Since there is not much time left, he should seek an opportunity to kill with one strike as soon as possible.
Thus, before Franklin and Phinks could converge on him, Moses began his setup, and seemingly unnecessarily transformed the shadow into a hollow shadow sphere.
Then, under the cover of the shadow sphere, he quietly conjured the antenna for Automatic Mode.
With these preparations complete, Moses threw the shadow sphere containing the antenna in a direction away from Franklin and Phinks.
At that time, Moses waited for Franklin and Phinks to make their choice.
If Franklin pursued the shadow, Moses will use [Shadow Shift] to switch places with the shadow.
And if it was Phinks the one who pursued the shadow, then it would suit his intentions perfectly.
Because the target chosen by Moses is Phinks...
Once the conditions for a Manipulator's Ability are met, it is equivalent to a one-hit kill.
But the issue was how to meet those conditions.
The antenna for Automatic Mode does not have 100% guarantee penetration. So, the most difficult part is how to get past the target's Nen defense and insert the antenna.
Therefore-
The probability of the antenna's success only significantly increases when the target is gathering a large amount of Aura for an attack.
Based on this point, the most suitable targets were Enhancer like Uvogin and Phinks.
The former's [Big Bang Impact] required concentrating almost all his Aura into his fist.
The latter's [Ripper Cyclotron] worked on the same principle, which is to mobilize the whole body's Aura by rotating hiss arms, thereby breaking through the upper limit of the Manifested Aura.
While such concentrated attack methods were immensely powerful, it will inevitably leave other parts of the body with weaker defenses when the attack is used.
This is why Moses, based on the 'known information', selected Phinks as his target.
In fact, before making the arrangements, Moses couldn't be sure if Phinks would use his Nen Ability.
If Phinks never used his Nen Ability, Moses would have decisively abandoned the plan and focused on retreating.
Fortunately, Phinks did not disappoint him.
Taking advantage of the weakness exposed when Phinks used [Ripper Cyclotron], Moses successfully embedded the antenna into Phinks at the cost of one shadow clone's Potential Aura.
Next…
He just needed to wait for Phinks to rampage uncontrollably in Automatic Mode and exhaust all his Potential Aura.
