@@thedstorm8922 Human may had got some protection from other species because humans were too weak and they send humans to other continent to survive. My other theory is that humans were strong at first but when they come out from dark continent. They slowly lose their strength after each generation until they can have basically 0,1% chance of survival.

The Dark Continent is not a continent really, but the rest of the world that surrounds the portion of lands that all the characters we know live on. Still, i wouldn't want to live so close to the border of Lake Mobius, the NGL nation was also close to the border as well and the chimera ant queen arrived at a beach, imagine what could arrive at the fake continent.

I like the concept of Dark Continent and such kind of places but the scariest place or concept in fiction is the deminson where the premodial gods' weapons are trapped In DC comics. One Such Weapon was Megaddon that scared even angels and Superman and Batman regard it as the strongest and most dangerous threat the ever faced in their life.

[@technoraize2715]

Have you read Toriko? They also have a Dark Continent which they called Gourmet World. Heck the main character actually tried to enter it once, was beaten by every single thing he encountered. Until he was rescued by a man who was trained by someone that world worshipped as a God. But still Hunter X Hunter 's Dark Continent is still one of the most dangerous places in manga.

[@seamusmcarthur666]

Keep in mind that the chimera ants on the threat scale was ONLY a B+, suggesting that theres atleast one thing or species on the dark continent more threatening then the chimera ants. Had they taken root and spread more and made a second king it wouldve been game over for a lot more countires if not the human race. Keep in mind that the chimera ants can evolve into what they eat. But what if theres something or some species so powerful that no matter how much the chimera ants evolve they could never consume them. But then again its a threat scale to humanity so maybe its threats in the A catergory are a bit more intagible/ complicated than a species.

They’re also a Level B threat in the Dark continent. You could Argue higher with nen but if the other higher level species use nen it’ll make even Meruem look like a lower level threat, and we know the calamities who can use nen already make the Ants looks like nothing ex: Alluka.

It's crazy when you realize original chimera ants were actually the smaller ones Gon and Killua met after Greed Island; the ones kite killed. Even the ant queen said she could feel some human in her. I think they'll run into another chimera ant colony; but, a species that had absorbed something even more powerful & evil than humans. And that'll just be the average danger they will encounter in the dark continent... Togashi should give us at least ONE flashback to the Dark Continent since we might not ever reach that arc.
