Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

'It's just endless torment. Who can prove what the afterlife is like? Maybe it's better to suffer for eternity. Kakin could, through such sacrifice, become like the young World Tree—'

'Draw strength from the earth, stand tall and upright!'

Outside the main hall, it was pitch black.

There was no light, no guards, only the howling wind.

This rain is going to last for seven hours.

Suddenly, two beams of light pierced the darkness, accompanied by the dull thud of rolling wheels, and came to a stop at the entrance of the royal palace.

Minister Nugu stepped down from the carriage, casually pushed open the tall, heavy palace gates, and led Mumu Ze and his entourage into the palace.

After walking along a straight stone path, Nugui raised his hand to stop the crowd, turned around, and calmly said:

"That's all, Your Highness Mumu Ze. The road ahead is for you to travel alone. No other guards or princes are allowed to approach."

As he said this, Nugui's eyes widened and stared intently at Dia, who stood out from the crowd.

The "other guards" he mentioned were actually mainly targeting Dia.

Diya wasn't surprised. She reached out and patted Mumu Ze on the back, then leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

His voice was so low that no one present could hear him clearly.

Then Dia crossed her arms, lowered her head, closed her eyes, and remained silent like a statue.

Mumu Ze took a deep breath, glanced at Diya one last time, and strode forward with standard court etiquette.

After Mu Muze's figure disappeared from sight.

Dia said to Hashida behind her:

"You can all leave now. Don't waste any more time here. Since you're here, Kadjo and Fugates are in your care."

Hashida was taken aback by these words, and was about to say something when he suddenly remembered Shi Diya's instructions—[Don't ask what's going on]

So Hashida swallowed the doubt that welled up in his throat, turned around and directed the crowd to surround Kadjo and Fugates, and walk towards the door.

"..."

Nugui calmly glanced at the departing group.

'So, the Ninth Prince's private army? Just a rabble... If they had the Ninth Prince's leadership, their unity might have been somewhat interesting, but unfortunately, the Ninth Prince is probably not in a position to show himself right now...'

Although news reports and military reports indicate that Prince Halkenbrug is confirmed dead.

Even Newderry has held an obituary and a moment of silence for him.

However, the fire symbolizing the ninth prince was not lit during the ceremony.

Prince Halkenbrugge, I suppose, managed to stay alive through some means.

'Until he shows himself, those people are no threat.'

Nugui withdrew his gaze and looked at Dia, who had her arms crossed over her chest, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes:

'In comparison, this person is far beyond the expected standard…'

In his eyes, Dia was a handsome young man with sharp eyes and a cold expression.

His tall figure exuded a terrifying and eerie sense of oppression in the night, and even when he was motionless, Nugui felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

This wasn't the first time he'd heard of Dia, but today was indeed their first direct encounter.

This first impression left a very deep impression on him.

'Will the royal family welcome another strongman? Judging from his resolute demeanor, he's no weakling willing to appease.'

'It's quite a good match for the gentle-natured Prince Mumu Ze; it must be fate...'

He then looked at Pokson, who was silent and staring intently at Dia, and sized him up. Suddenly, a sense of amusement crept into his mind:

'That kind of demeanor, is he from the King's Military Academy? I see no reverence for the royal family...'

That look in her eyes undoubtedly conveyed a different kind of emotion.

The man "pre-selected" for the twelfth prince...

However, Nugui didn't want to care about that.

These things can be handled by Mumu Ze himself; Prince Kajin wouldn't be unable to handle something like this.

Ultimately, the other party was just a female soldier.

'Holding up soldiers, servants, attendants, and guards is all the same; it's just the prince's property. Who knows, it might even be included in his dowry...'

Dia frowned slightly, sensing that there was something wrong with the old man's gaze. She instinctively stepped in front of Miss Poker, releasing a bit of pressure as a warning.

A faint yet profound malice suddenly emanated from Dia and spread toward Nugui!

'Provocation? How domineering...'

Nuguyi's heart stirred, and his fingers twirled slightly as he felt a sudden urge to perform.

He hasn't had a direct confrontation with such a master in almost decades.

In all past crises, His Majesty's guardian spirit beasts would resolve the situation quickly, without him ever having to intervene.

That terrifying monster became even faster and stronger after His Majesty ascended the throne. Even Nugui knew he couldn't defeat it head-on without using his abilities.

However, it is still not convenient to fight here and now...

Nuguyi ignored Dia's intimidation and looked up at the pitch-black sky.

pat.

A raindrop suddenly fell.

Soon, countless raindrops rushed to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, a sudden downpour enveloped the entire New Delhi.

In the darkness, Dia stood motionless, facing the wind and rain, feeling the raindrops hitting her face.

As the time drew near, he waited for an opportunity, an opportunity to leave this place.

Outside the King's Palace.

Hashida walked to a secluded spot and whispered to Kadjo:

"Your Highness, did Mr. Dia give you prior instructions?"

That was his guess.

Of all the people present, the only ones Hashida didn't know were these two princes.

But Diya specifically instructed him to protect them.

Here is a question—

If you really want to protect them, then why bring them out today?

Isn't the Prince's Palace significantly more secure?

The only explanation is that the two princes also have their own missions, and their mission is to assist the two princes in completing their missions!

However, Kadjo's answer was unexpected:

"No, I don't know why he brought me along."

Kadjo's eyes showed a hint of displeasure, after all, Diya had not revealed any information to them since they set off.

This clearly shows a lack of trust in them!

'That jerk! We've been so obedient, yet he's still acting all suspicious. We've been so kind to him for nothing!'

Kadjo's resentment was perfectly understandable.

Both she and Fugates were aware of their own limitations and realized they couldn't secure their position as King Kakin, so they worked hard to learn Nen.

Because he said:

"Your abilities are very useful; you need to practice them more."

In the current situation, helping Dia find a way to safely end the succession war is to give himself a way out.

Kadjo wasn't stupid, so he naturally threw himself into it wholeheartedly, just to be able to help him in some way.

But what I got in return was still a lack of trust.

No one would be happy if they were in charge.

Hashida frowned, feeling a sense of bewilderment and helplessness.

Did Diya give the two princes no instructions?

What is their purpose in coming here? Is their mission simply to accompany them until the twelfth prince leaves the palace?

That's impossible, that's too strange...

The light rain pattered down, the raindrops forming a thick curtain that shrouded the already dark environment in an even deeper and more indistinct way.

Caught off guard by the sudden downpour, Kadjo cried out in surprise:

"Ah, it's raining!"

"What should we do? Did you bring umbrellas?"

'He's a Nen user, but he's afraid of getting wet in the rain? Luckily, I prepared in advance...'

Snapped.

Hashida snapped his fingers.

A person silently opened an umbrella behind them and walked behind the two princes, shielding them from the falling rain.

Apart from them, no one else was using an umbrella.

Hashida glanced at the raindrops on the faces of the two princes, reached into his pocket, and tried to take out a handkerchief to hand them over.

Suddenly his hand paused, stopping in his pocket, and he looked stunned.

Hashida felt his hand suddenly touch an unfamiliar object.
