Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Kido's arrival was unexpected.

Fortunately, despite the unexpectedness, both Mumu Ze and Pokson warmly welcomed Kido's sudden visit.

This also saved Dia from having to waste his breath.

Almost without any surprises, the generous Mumu Ze arranged for Qi Duo, who had come from afar, to stay in his palace.

In any case, because Mumu Ze dismissed most of the servants and all the guards, the entire Twelfth Prince's palace appeared extremely empty.

Making room in an empty room is nothing.

Having dealt with the immediate accommodation issue, we returned to our business.

“Dia, tell me about the specific situation here. In the Republic of Mingbo, I can only see the official reports from Kakin.”

Qiduo pulled Dia to her room and sat down, asking seriously:

"The Kakin government's propaganda is a mess. It went from denying the existence of the epidemic to admitting that the epidemic existed but being unable to do anything about it. Only a few days passed in between, making it impossible to ascertain the true situation."

Moreover, it would be different if it were another modern country.

As the vice president of the Hunter Association, Kito naturally has the means to find out the truth.

But Kakin is different.

It appears too isolated compared to other modern countries.

The military and government were integrated, feudalism prevailed, and the state propaganda apparatus controlled foreign information. Even new songs that were popular internationally often took several months to reach the cardboard box.

It is extremely difficult to find out the true situation in a country like this, and there is a high probability that you will make a mistake.

Ultimately, nothing is more accurate than asking someone who has experienced it firsthand.

"Hmm... let's start from the beginning then."

After a moment of contemplation, Diya organized her thoughts and began to explain, starting from the very beginning.

Of course, there were some things he didn't say.

For example, regarding Sherlock, after careful consideration, Dia decided to keep it a secret from Qiduo for the time being.

the reason is simple.

For a girl who hasn't seen her father in three years, once she finds out that her father is in this city, she will definitely frantically search for him.

Especially since that girl also has superhuman mobility.

Sherlock's purpose in coming to New Delhi is most likely related to the Dark Continent, and he clearly does not want to involve his family.

This is also why he abandoned his wife and daughter.

In this situation.

Allowing Qi to meddle in Sherlock's affairs is not a good thing for either her or Sherlock.

Of course.

If Sherlock couldn't keep his tracks and was caught red-handed by Keido, Dia would just watch and have fun.

"A parasitic system of royal succession..."

Qi Duo's expression was complicated.

Dia had previously told her about Kakin's system of succession to the throne.

At the time, she thought this system was bizarre.

I never imagined it would come to this.

However, Kido quickly shook off those useless emotions and realized the truly urgent matter at hand:

"So, according to your guess, we'll now become the primary target of the other princes?"

Dia shook her head:

"They shouldn't be the primary target. So far, the strongest on the surface are still the three high-ranking princes and the fourth prince."

"Furthermore, Poksen has been spreading false information about Celidonich's side. From his perspective, Mumuze's strength is still not up to par."

Qiduo pondered for a moment and said:

"Dia, you should have the most information here right now. From your perspective, who are the people we need to pay attention to in this succession battle?"

"If you ask me, there is only one, and that is King Kakin—Naspi, who orchestrated all of this."

Dia said:

"Whether they are high-ranking princes or low-ranking princes, as long as I find their location in this city, dealing with them is not difficult for me."

"My plan is that if the succession war begins, I will spend a day eliminating as many of the higher-ranking princes as possible, including the fourth prince."

It is important to note here.

Killing the prince, whether during or outside the War of Succession, violates the constitution of the Kakin Empire.

At least whoever publicly bears the blame for killing the prince will ultimately face fierce retaliation from the Kakin Empire!

What kind of retaliation?

Diya dipped her finger in the tea.

Then, on the table, a large circle was drawn, and several smaller circles were added around it, with an arrow extending from each small circle, pointing to the large circle.

"This large circle is New Delhi, and the smaller circle is the satellite cities such as Bushe and Blood Pack City surrounding New Delhi. Each satellite city has at least one army group stationed there, equipped with weapons such as armed helicopters, anti-aircraft guns, high-precision missiles, and powerful explosives."

"Based on my observations and estimates from following that female officer a few days ago, there are at least 5 Royal Army troops stationed in New Delhi. Most likely, they are elites drawn from the army groups of the Ring Delhi Military Region. The division of military power in this part of the army is quite complex. The King himself and his military council can mobilize them, and even the eldest prince, Benjamin, has some command authority."

"In short, if you want to kill a prince or even a king in New Delhi, you have to be prepared to confront a national-level military force."

Upon hearing this, Qi Duo frowned, her face showing obvious worry.

As a seasoned Nen user, she was well aware of the gap between individual strength and national-level military power.

Even the most powerful bullets cannot compare to a salvo of artillery shells; and even the strongest armor is just a thicker sheet of paper in the face of powerful explosives.

Moreover, while the "ki" of Nen users can be depleted, bullets made of copper and steel are almost inexhaustible.

no doubt.

Diya is risking her life.

She suddenly reached out silently, cupped Dia's fist in her palm, felt the roughness between her fingertips, and said:

"Does it really have to come to this?"

Can't I leave?

Ultimately, what does this have to do with you?

Or……

Are you really willing to take such a risk so that that child can become king?

You like her that much?

A subtle sense of jealousy.

A quiet ripple spread through her heart...

Dia didn't know what Qiduo was feeling, but he knew what she was worried about, so he patted her hand reassuringly and said:

"Don't worry, it's not as serious as you think."

"Once the War of Succession begins, the princes' battles will become a potentially permissible event. Nasby will most likely control the royal army and prevent them from pursuing the princes' deaths excessively."

In other words, as long as they aren't caught red-handed, killing the prince or anything like that is fine.

But if Nasby kills a prince before the War of the Succession begins, it's hard to say whether he'll go mad.

"..."

Qiduo had no choice but to sigh.

Dia continued:

"My next move may require the cover of the [Atmosphere Creator's] dense fog. Let's switch back our abilities then."

suddenly.

As if reminded of something, Qiduo's expression turned strange:

"Um... are you in a hurry?"

"...It's not a big rush, what's wrong?"

Diya was taken aback by her reaction and hesitated before speaking.

Qi Duo's tone...

Why do I get this feeling that I borrowed something and don't want to return it?

Qiduo didn't mince words and said directly:

"If you're not in a hurry to use it, then don't switch it back yet."

She explained:

“While you were away, I specifically studied your abilities.”

Qiduo opened her fair right hand, and a surge of Nen energy gathered in her palm. In the blink of an eye, a white cloud of mist slowly floated out from it:

"According to my original idea, since you developed this ability with the goal of materializing weather with special abilities, then the essence of [Atmosphere Creator] should be [Weather]."

"But in actual use, I can't feel any connection between this spirit beast and the weather... It's more like it's imitating some kind of creature that's born with the ability to control the weather..."

Qi Duo also expressed her bewilderment.

How could such a creature possibly exist in this world?

And even if it really exists.

How did Dia know this? And how did she make her Nen Beast's abilities resemble those of this creature?

This is utter nonsense.

Leaving aside Qiduo's confusion, Dia became increasingly alarmed as she listened.

After all, Diya's Nen Beast was initially developed with the intention of imitating the bugged Stand, the Weather Forecast.
