Becoming the Supreme Will starting from Hunter x Hunter

The 'power' they possess and control is unknown to the world, but it is the true trump card of the 'human camp'!

From Oboro's perspective, V5 is equivalent to the five branches of the United Nations in the previous life.

After making a few inquiries, Oboro learned the high-ranking official's name: Rodman.

A dozen or so people ventured deep into the core of the base. The first thing they saw was an endless array of petri dishes, resembling giant transparent jars filled with unknown liquids, immersing various creatures within them.

Common creatures include lions, leopards, bears, and wolves, as well as insects, microorganisms, and rarer magical beasts that Oboro has never seen before!

Several researchers at the base were holding documents and papers and reporting to Rodman.

He then walked up to each of the sophisticated instruments and explained the data.

This base... this project was launched by V5 with the help of the mafia. The money came from the Ten Elders, and the basic manpower was also the elite that the Ten Elders transferred from their respective industries. V5 was only responsible for sending a few leaders to do things... and didn't care about anything else. To put it bluntly... it was freeloading!

It seems the goal is to transplant superior biological genes or cells to humans, eliminating potential risks and long-term effects, thus achieving the objective of evolution…

Evolution, a biological concept, seems to be inescapable in every world... Humans are always pursuing a more transcendent life.

Moreover, V5 is well aware of the horrors of the Dark Continent…

The human world seems peaceful, but no one knows when it will suddenly...

"So...they've been preparing all along..." Oboro thought to himself.

To prevent problems before they occur, if the 'end of the world' were to happen one day, humanity would at least have some contingency plans in place, so as not to simply wait to die.

From this perspective, V5 is still...

They are quite responsible...

I don't know if it's truly for all of humanity, or just for their own countries...

But then, Oboro understood why V5 ​​had commissioned the mafia...

They were taken to a separate, enclosed room and made to stand in front of a transparent glass wall, becoming spectators.

On the other side of the wall, there are several experimental subjects... all of them are humans.

There were elderly people, able-bodied adult men, women, and children of all ages.

A researcher nodded, and immediately someone stepped forward and injected tubes of purple substance into a group of test subjects. Soon after, some of them began to writhe on the ground in pain and scream... The scene was somewhat cruel.

Long witnessed a woman's flesh begin to writhe, her body swell with large bulges, and even her bones began to grow rapidly a second time.

It turned into a deformed creature... and eventually died.

Some people even developed thick fur, exhibiting a trend towards bestiality.

But these people have one thing in common: after being injected with the drug, their flesh and blood strength and vitality were significantly enhanced... Long could clearly perceive this!

"The drug is still a semi-finished product. Compared to six months ago, the situation has stabilized considerably... Some people who were already suffering from cancer or were on the verge of death have miraculously survived after being injected with the drug, but their bodies have undergone some changes... People who have a strong ability to absorb and adapt to the drug will have very mild physical deformities... At the same time, their physical data and other aspects have been significantly enhanced. According to our current analysis, the stronger one's own constitution, the greater the improvement after being injected with the drug... Among the various types of test subjects, the mortality rate is the lowest among middle-aged men..." A researcher reported to Rodman.

"It's not enough... the side effects are too strong."

Rodman observed for a while and seemed quite dissatisfied.

"..."

Long glanced at the others; if this drug were successfully developed, it would be extremely beneficial to the underworld.

It can significantly enhance the combat effectiveness of grassroots gangs... No wonder they hit it off with V5 so quickly.

Good resources... are indeed controlled by a few.

Then they were taken to another place.

It was a prison cell.

Inside, all the experimental subjects who survived were imprisoned; without exception, they were all 'deformed'.

The base manager also planned to give a presentation to highlight his own "achievements".

To everyone's surprise, Rodman seemed to have lost interest. He frowned, turned around, and left, saying, "Take care of everything..."

What v5 wants is not this kind of low-class stuff!

One of the ten old men understood immediately and waved to his subordinates, signaling them to clear out the experimental subjects.

Then, the group returned to the ground.

The visit has ended.

52. Whale Island

Romand left immediately, without even having the desire to communicate with the Ten Elders.

Before leaving, he left a slightly threatening message, saying that V5 would keep a close eye on this project.

I hope that Oboro and the others will take this seriously and not try to fool us.

Indeed, they came and went in a hurry.

"Phew... They let us do the work so they can reap the benefits, those bastards." Only after the people left did one of the old men dare to exhale a smoke ring and curse.

"If the drug is truly successful, it will probably be impossible for our subsidiary to mass-produce it... it will most likely be sealed away by them."

Another person chimed in.

"I have something to do on my turf, so I'll be leaving now!"

"goodbye!"

The remaining people had no intention of staying any longer, and after saying goodbye, they all left.

"Judging from this, this probably isn't the first time V5 has directed gangs. Besides this project, they're likely involved in other research... especially in the area of ​​weapons." Taking off his protective suit, Oboro had a smile on his face. He glanced at the expressions and reactions of the other nine people and guessed.

He thought of 'The Poor Man's Rose,' the trump card that old man Netero used to take down the Ant King Meruem.

This technological marvel, which can be implanted in the human body, is capable of mass production…

At best, it can only be considered one of the most common items in the 'human arsenal'... it doesn't even qualify to be included in the 'arsenal'.

Humanity faces an unknown dark continent... a place with inexhaustible magical resources, but it's too dangerous... A previous exploration made V5 realize a problem: the cost!

The cost is too high... the consequences are unbearable.

Whether it's the poor man's rose or this biological agent... Long felt that they were probably just minor projects that V5 had gotten involved in, far less serious than Romand made them out to be. He just wanted to make sure the ten old men didn't slack off... because it might be related to his own 'performance'.

Does anyone know what preparations V5 has made to deal with the Dark Continent?

The rose seems incredibly powerful... but if used on the unknown continent of the Darkness, its effects might be negligible.

The terror there, to someone with some understanding of V5, far surpasses anything the Chimera Ants could describe.

Chimera ants are only a species with a danger level of B, which is far from sufficient...

Oboro believed that not only he could see through Romande's thoughts, but everyone else was also aware of them, yet dared not bring them up.

The reason why gangs can wield such power in the public eye and have such great influence is inseparable from V5's leniency... Moreover, some of the ten districts controlled by gangs are located within V5's territory, allowing them to do business and make money smoothly... all because V5 turns a blind eye.

Gangs have certain uses for v5.

"We need to have David communicate with them more later."

Long made up his mind.

"Well... if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving too."

After thinking it over, he waved his hand.

And so, this nobody from the V5 organization was greeted by all ten old men. After he took a look around, everyone dispersed.

Oda, the woman who "teamed up" with Oboro to take down Brown. One of the Ten Elders followed closely behind.

She was also about to leave. Before getting into the car, she glanced at Long and said, "Your situation isn't settled yet."

"Right? If you need anything, I can help you..."

"No need, it's almost all packed up."

His men opened the car door for Long, and he smiled.

O'Day nodded and said nothing more.

A very strong aura…

Oboro's bad habit has resurfaced...

He noticed that in the woman's car, besides the driver, there was another very dangerous person in the front seat... undoubtedly a Nen user who was protecting her.

The two men's cars drove away from the base, one after the other.

Long first called Philslily and the housekeeper to give them some instructions, and then had the car drive to the public spaceship station... He was going on a trip by himself.

He doesn't really like being followed around...

There are less than three months left until the 281st Hunter Exam this year.

He planned to travel around first, as he hadn't really experienced the local customs and culture since coming into this world.

Besides the Sky Arena, there are a few other places he wants to visit…

Famous tourist attractions.

"Things have changed, people have changed..."

Half a day later, Long arrived alone in front of the terminal building, looking at the bustling entrance with mixed feelings.

Back when he left Graves for Sky Arena, he was penniless.

Things are different now. Money is just a string of numbers to him... It feels so good not to have to worry about money.

……

Our first stop on our trip was Whale Island.

Kim Freecss's hometown.

In the original work, Kite once said that in his eyes, Ging Freecss was the best hunter... Oboro understands this assessment. However, he came to Whale Island not for Gon.

I simply think that Whale Island is beautiful... the sparkling sea, the tranquil town, and the pristine natural environment.

Especially the scenery depicted in the anime before Gon participated in the Hunter Preliminaries and met Kurapika and Leorio, remains fresh in Oboro's memory.

A place blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, where dreams begin.
