Eternal Night

Chapter 817 Above Dimensions
This is a super-giant ship that is much larger than an aircraft carrier.

Its original form is the fortress used by human civilization in this world to cross Lake Möbius, and it is also a colony ship that may be used to colonize the Dark Continent in the future. It is the largest mechanical creation that humankind in this world can build, without exception.

The extraordinary Nen users of this world are most proud of their Nen abilities. Even the weakest Nen user can crush ordinary people. They can even knock most ordinary people unconscious just by releasing their killing intent. This power has given them privileges, status, and wealth.

Now, they are experiencing the despair and helplessness that ordinary people feel when facing them, even to a degree that is ten thousand times greater.

You fucking lifted the entire giant ship?! ? .jpg!!!

"...You're arguably the strongest Enhancement-type Nen user right now, can you do this?" Jin asked Peter Young beside him, looking at the clouds drifting quickly past the window.

Peter Young looked at Kim with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me? Lift what? Lift this giant ship!?"

Jin smiled without saying a word.

Those around them were speechless.

Peter Young remained silent for a long time before speaking: "My father... who was your former president, once punched the mountains with 10,000 gratitude straight punches every day in his middle age, questioning the heavens, the earth, his heart, and himself. In the end, he broke through his own shackles and mastered the Hundred Styles of Guanyin, which was unmatched by anyone. He became the strongest in the world. I believe that all of you here know about these things, even if they are not widely known."

Those who are here are the elite of the human world, and they are naturally aware of the deeds of the president of the All-Round Hunter, a super-professional guild in the human world.

Peter Young changed the subject, saying, "But there are some things you absolutely don't know. After that, he never practiced punching inanimate objects for long periods of time again. I once asked him why, and he told me that he thought he had reached his limit before he mastered the Hundred Forms of Guanyin, but in reality, his true limit was the Hundred Forms of Guanyin. After that, he wanted to obtain a stronger opponent to break through his limit, but this strength was not the 'greatness' of the Dark Continent, but something else. The training with inanimate objects could never allow him to reach that level."

While those around him were still pondering Peter Young's words, he abruptly changed the subject, saying, "But now I know he was wrong, terribly wrong, because he forgot about the difference in scale... Admittedly, for him, a boulder, or even a small mountain, is no match for an inanimate object, but what about the earth itself? When we evaluate strength, we usually make a rough comparison based on the potential and manifest power of Nen, and then consider factors such as combat skills, the development of Nen, and on-the-spot performance. But once it comes to an absolute level that transcends all of this, it all becomes as laughable as a wooden sword in a child's hand."

Everyone remained silent, gazing at the clouds outside the window, each feeling a sense of despair.

They had no choice but to despair.

Even setting aside Wu Pifu's endless thoughts of death, his strength and speed alone put them at a level more than one dimension apart.

Surveillance footage retrieved from the ship showed that when Wu Pifu flew in from the sky, his speed was approximately 25,000 meters per second, which is 73.5 times the speed of sound!

The strongest Nen user on record, Peter Young's father and the previous president of the Hunter x Hunter guild, had a fastest punch speed of nearly seven times the speed of sound at short distances with his Hundred Style Kannon!
This is just the speed of the fist, not the overall speed of the body!
This alone makes the difference not even in the same league.

In terms of strength, Peter Young is now the strongest Enhancement-type Nen user among humans. The weight he can lift for an extended period of time is definitely no more than fifty tons!

This was after he unleashed his full power; in reality, it couldn't last at all.

The power displayed by Wu Pifu... is indescribable and immeasurable!

To reiterate, although they appear to be humanoid, all humans and Nen users are actually as weak as ants in front of Wu Pifu. They are not even on the same level, and are separated by countless levels!

Even if Wu Pifu didn't have Nen abilities, he could kill everyone in a second if he wanted to, and they wouldn't even have time to react.

The difference in magnitude is too great, so great that it cannot be bridged by any amount of mental ability, skill, or improvisation.

Jin then said, "What I'm more curious about is... how many beings like him are there in the Dark Continent?"

Unexpectedly, Peter Young shook his head at this moment. Jin looked over curiously, and Peter Young said, "No, what you should be asking is... is he from a civilization? Or from another world?"

Jin remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly realized.

Just then, Paris walked in with a smile, holding a document that still smelled of ink, as if it had just been printed. He said, "I just used the ship's computer to roughly calculate our current speed and the location of the longevity food Nitromi. In two days at most, we will reach its edge. That's quite an amazing speed."

It was more than astonishing; everyone present fell into complete silence.

In terms of distance, from the shore of Lake Möbius to the location of Nithorome, the longevity food, they originally planned to travel for nine months. Moreover, the entire crew consisted of elite Nen users whose physical strength and speed far exceeded ordinary people's imagination. In addition, there were Nen users with spatial attributes in the team to ensure logistics, safe rest areas, and other matters.

Nine months equals a little over two days!
That's why they really had no choice but to remain silent.

At this moment, Jin suddenly asked Paris, "Paris, do you remember what this guy said to you earlier?" Paris's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Jin meant by "something." He smiled and nodded, "Of course I remember, 'It seems you're quite good at politics and have a good head, but you have a bit too much of a wicked sense of humor. If you ever have the chance, why don't you try working for me?' To be honest, I'm very tempted. I've been quite lonely since the old chairman passed away. This guy seems quite fun. If I worked for him, I probably wouldn't be lonely at all."

Jin stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "In other words, he exists within a society... Does civilization still exist deep within the Dark Continent?"

As he said this, Kim's eyes lit up, and Peter Young had the same expression; they were both thinking of the same thing.

If there truly is a civilization deep within the Dark Continent, it would mean a safe zone, because without order and security, civilization cannot arise. Furthermore, Wu Pifu is so powerful, yet he treats them with equality and is even willing to engage in some degree of unequal trade with them. This suggests that in his society, there is very likely that he is not the only individual as powerful as he is.

"...The uniqueness of the Dark Continent? Or the uniqueness of their race?" Peter Young murmured, then looked at Jin and asked, "What are your plans?"

Jin lay lazily on the ground, propping his head up with his hands and said, "It's still uncertain. Teaching this person Nen is a must, but simply teaching him wouldn't do justice to this value. We don't yet know the level of Nen he needs to reach, or the degree of vows and constraints he expects to achieve, so we don't know how long the teaching will take. Secondly, we don't know if he'll be willing to take us to his social area after the teaching is finished. These are all unknowns, so we should consider the worst-case scenario."

Peter Young picked up where Jin left off and continued, "First, we need to get enough longevity food, Nitromi, and then teach this Nen ability. If it doesn't take shape after that, we'll have plenty of time to improve ourselves and accumulate strength. As long as we have enough Nitromi, we can even live for hundreds or thousands of years. After accumulating enough strength, we can then venture deep into the Dark Continent to follow in his footsteps, right?"

Kim didn't speak, and Peter Young didn't ask any more questions. Instead, Paris chuckled softly, "Then I'll take my leave first. I'll be waiting for you two at that high point."

The two looked over at the same time and immediately understood what Paris meant.

He decided to accept Wu Pifu's invitation; he would truly work for Wu Pifu if she was willing.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the hall they were in.

The group was taken aback. The elderly beauty nodded at a young man in the group, who immediately went to the gate and opened it wide. There stood a young man with chains on his hands, Kura.

Kurapika stood politely at the door and said, "Excuse my intrusion, but do you all have a moment to spare?"

Kim sat up abruptly, and he and Peter Young looked at each other, both seeing curiosity in each other's eyes.

They were aware of Kurapika's existence, of course. He was a guest advisor invited by a faction on the ship. Before arriving at the shore of the Dark Continent, during the chaotic battles on the ship, Kurapika's manipulation and combat skills impressed them many times. Moreover, Kurapika was good friends with Ging's son. Although Ging was lazy by nature, they still had a connection through blood ties.

Peter Young immediately waved and said, "Welcome, please come in."

Kurapika bowed slightly and walked into the hall. He didn't speak for a moment, but quietly sat down in front of Peter Young and King.

At this moment, Paris smiled and said, "You came for So? We do have a Nen user in our team who can heal, and his injuries aren't serious, but as you know, there's a price to pay..."

"Do not."

Kurapika shook his head. He paused for a moment before saying seriously, "I'm here to negotiate."

"Oh, negotiations?"

Peter Young became interested and sat up. "So-called negotiations are either hostile or contentious, so... are you planning to be our enemy? Or have you had some kind of dispute with us?"

"...this person's training time."

Kurapika said bluntly, “The deal has only just begun. Obtaining Nitromi, the longevity food, is his way of reassuring us and letting us know that he is a benevolent order that we can live in peace with. But the deal has only just begun with teaching him. In the meantime, we may also be able to get other promises or friendly goodwill from him. You all understand that without me having to say it.”

Peter Young laughed, then his laughter abruptly stopped. He said seriously, "We also have something to ask of you, and I don't think your strength or Nen knowledge surpasses ours. So how do you plan to negotiate to gain his training time?"

"...with my life."

Kurapika's eyes suddenly turned red, a breathtakingly beautiful red. He looked directly at the two and said, "I will teach him the most powerful oaths and constraints, and I will repay his kindness with my life, if he so desires..."

“I just wanted to know something from him, something that might be insignificant to him.”

"The afterlife, and... whether there is an afterlife."
