Becoming the Supreme Will starting from Hunter x Hunter

Oboro has tried his best to mitigate the constraints by understanding the 'Nen ability rules'... He uses the built-in game rules to exploit loopholes in the 'ability rules' and avoid the most troublesome situations. For example, with resource-related monsters, although he can shake off their aggro by maintaining a sufficient distance, the target cannot effectively attack him at the same time... To defeat them, he must enter their range, which is almost mandatory.

Unless the opposing player already possesses long-range attack capabilities.

Furthermore, one must specialize in long-range attacks, like the sniper he killed... If it were just a regular long-range attack spanning such a large area, its power would definitely be reduced. Moreover, Oboro would have enough time to react and counterattack, rendering it essentially ineffective.

Although the equipment will disappear, it will only happen after the battle ends, and it will not affect Oboro's strength during the battle at all... Reforging the equipment and items later will just be a waste of some more time and effort.

The same applies to runes and champions.

The 'side effects' are almost negligible, which is why he wants to present the complete game world in reality... His abilities are still being improved, and these shortcomings can be mitigated infinitely... For example, resource-type teleportation black holes, although they cannot be used for teleportation, can be opened in two or even three to increase the coverage area, prolong the time it takes for monster aggro to disappear, etc. But it is impossible to truly violate the 'rules of Nen'!

Even if one's abilities grow to an extremely terrifying level, the restraining effect will not be completely erased or disappear, no matter how weak it becomes.

This is the foundation of the power system, the 'principle' that governs this world and explains the existence of 'Nen'.

Feitan of the Phantom Troupe possesses Nen abilities 'Unforgivable Sinner' and 'Burning Sun,' both of which require extreme anger to activate. The downside is that they indiscriminately inflict area-of-effect damage, potentially even affecting allies.

They were all wiped out, and the consumption of psychic energy was also enormous.

Chrollo's Nen ability 'Thief's Ultimate' requires the following conditions to be activated: you must see the other person's Nen ability with your own eyes; you must ask the other person a question related to their Nen ability and receive their answer; you must have the other person place their hand on the handprint on the book cover; and conditions 1-3 must be completed within one hour.

Additionally, when using a stolen ability, the book must be materialized in the right hand and turned to the page containing the Nen ability to be used.

The stolen Nen ability will be automatically erased from the book when the person whose Nen was stolen dies, and will then become unusable.

Both of the latter two can be regarded as 'constraints'.

But there is another invisible 'constraint,' which is Oboro's speculation and has not yet been confirmed... That is, everyone who enters Chrollo's book will die... It is the true Book of Death, including Chrollo, Korbi, and Neon, the daughter of the Nosra family's patriarch.

That young lady with prophetic abilities.

It's as if we're under a curse.

However, there are also rumors that Neon is still alive and has been exorcised... It is also possible that the Owl among the Shadow Beasts is not dead.

Because of these two abilities, they disappeared from Kuroro's books later on.

Oboro wasn't entirely sure about this conclusion either.

In comparison, the fact that he was able to reduce the 'constraints' to this level and gain a significant increase in strength is already the best he could do! The cost, as mentioned earlier, is that it requires unimaginable energy and time, and utilizes data analyzed by the system for assistance.

The system's 'anatomy' of the 'Nen' power system.

One more point to mention is that the author explicitly stated in the original work that only Kurapika and Gon are Nen users bound by oaths and restrictions; not all Nen users are affected by oaths and restrictions. However, after reviewing the entire anime, the conclusion I've drawn is... it's true that some people can be unaffected by this rule, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist... rather, it's because the development of Nen abilities is relatively 'neutral,' making this rule less obvious... Kurapika's efforts to kill the Spider made him nearly invincible against the Phantom Troupe.

What he wanted was too much! And the time was too short, so naturally he wanted an equal exchange…

The same logic applies to when Gon turns evil after killing Neferpitou.

They all pursued short-term or instantaneous invincibility, and the consequences were predictable.

The 'constraints and oaths' they exhibit are also the most obvious... therefore, they are the true representatives.

Most Nen users don't have the 'patience' to waste on development; they want 'ready-to-fight' capabilities and tend to choose 'stability'... In short, they are unwilling to pay the price and take the risk.

To put it simply, take the action of firing a gun. You need to have bullets, your gun isn't broken, and you need to have a firing direction! Then you load the bullets, aim at the target, pull the trigger... and endure the recoil and shock of the gun. Can you say that this is 'constraint and oath'?

Because the impact on users is negligible.

But the former is indeed a prerequisite for firing the gun, and the latter is a constraint on the gunman. The oath is your desire to hit the target and kill the other party, and the method of using the gun and the bullets are what give you power... Most Nen users seem to be unaffected by the 'constraints and oaths'.

That's the meaning.

The core still revolves around 'Nen ability'!

Many Nen users start with what suits their own fighting style and familiar methods, which is quite practical... Also, the development of Nen abilities also requires talent and skill. Even if you want to do something big, you have to see if you can do it, whether you have the ability and determination.

It's not that you can have invincible power just because you want it... To succeed like Kurapika and Gon, you need elements such as willpower, idealism, and enlightenment.

Otherwise, everyone would be a strong person.

Is Oboro's ability unsolvable?

Obviously not!

When a Nen user is powerful enough, their melee and ranged combat abilities are unimaginable... They can almost ignore limitations in distance and range! As for equipment, once Oboro is defeated and deemed a loser, even if you have enough strength to prevent him from escaping... the outcome will be the same.

But Oboro is also getting stronger, and is still 'repairing' his Nen ability...

And little by little, I'm striving to reach the top...

He and the game world are growing together...

As the saying goes, you must be strong yourself; might makes right.

Thoughts... are merely a means and method of exerting combat abilities.

There are no useless Nen abilities, only useless users.

When you reach a certain level, all fancy skills and techniques become meaningless.

The reason why Oboro has not mentioned the drawbacks of his ability is that... so far, no one has seen any 'weakness' in his ability.

Perhaps Bisky noticed, but the old woman didn't say anything... because it was inevitable.

Another point is his 'constraints'... Currently, they don't significantly affect his own combat system and style, so we can leave them aside.

Sato was the first to clearly realize this and react.

No wonder he found this guy so threatening...

I lived up to his expectations!

……

Long glanced at the black dot standing on the dome in the distance and smiled slightly.

Then, they instantly counterattacked Brown and his group who were nearby.

The returning Swamp Frog and Sharp-Beaked Bird also turned their attention to the Ten Old Men and their gang members.

Among these people, some harbor the same hostility and murderous intent towards Oboro; they are 'enemy players'!

Even if she isn't identified as an 'enemy player' and isn't attacked by monsters, Oboro can easily take care of them on her own.

As expected, upon realizing Oboro's intention, Sato suddenly jumped down from the top of the palace and rushed over.

Stepping back into the 'range'.

He was pinned down by Oboro and unable to evade... Sato realized this, which was also why Oboro had chosen this location for the battlefield... He had no choice but to confront the 'game creation' before him head-on!

The Nen user next to Brown immediately grabbed his boss and ran away.

The dozen or so gangster bodyguards didn't even have a chance to fire their guns before being swept to the ground by Oboro's two hands.

"Run with the boss! If we get far enough away, these monsters will lose their target!"

Behind them, Sato's roar came as he approached.

"hehe…"

With a thought, the Swamp Frog and the Sharp-Beaked Bird immediately chased after Brown and his companion.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and looked at Sato, who was rushing towards him.

He walked up to the black hole and inserted one hand into the 'alternate dimension' of the game world.

Sato's pupils contracted as he observed the psychic power emanating from Oboro, which surged into the black hole like a torrent.

"The game... is only just beginning."

As Long spoke softly, after expending some of her psychic energy, she withdrew her arm and stepped aside.

Then, the ground in the square began to tremble.

It was as if an earthquake had occurred...

The spatial gap created by the black hole was torn and enlarged, and there were even sounds of space being torn apart and squeezed.

Under Sato's gaze, two enormous black shadows emerged from the black hole, one after the other... The reason for saying "emerged" is that even though the black hole had expanded, it still seemed rather small to these two suddenly appearing things.

One end is a towering, red tree demon with an enormous trunk and crown.

One end is a terrifying stone statue with its skin covered in blue fluorescent patterns.

These two suddenly appearing 'giants' were on a completely different level from the previous monsters in terms of size and the oppressive aura they exuded.

Sato needs to fully raise his neck to have his entire body on full display.

They are at least twenty meters high!

Crimson Mark Tree Monster and Azure Engraved Golem.

Commonly known as red and blue buffs.

These are the two largest wild monsters that Oboro has created so far.

Compared to these two monsters, he and Sato appeared extremely small.

"You...can't escape now."

Long stood in front of the two monsters and said calmly.

The next second, the tree monster and the golem let out a long howl, and the terrifying sound waves stirred up a large amount of airflow, turning into a gale.

Then, the golem raised its two enormous arms, and in Sato's eyes, who looked up, the shadow in the sky almost covered half of the ceiling, before it slammed down with all its might!

The range of this attack is so wide... With his speed... could he dodge it?

"Is it also 100% accurate?"

Sato's mind went blank for a moment.

boom!

Then, the ground trembled violently, and countless fragments of rock flew into the air, accompanied by waves of dust...

50. Dreams

Whoosh!

A few minutes later, in the dilapidated and devastated square, Sato, his body shrouded in a wisp of smoke, was kicked away by Oboro.

He leaped up like a ball, crashed to the ground, and spat out blood.

Immediately following was another dark shadow descending from the sky, like an inky cloud.
