Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"Wake up, don't faint..."

Kuroro turned to look in that direction, but saw only emptiness on the ground, nothing at all, only the sound coming from that direction, as if frozen in the air, frozen in his short life:

"Don't fall asleep, Kuroro! You'll die! Wake up!"

"Kuroro!"

Kuroro suddenly opened his eyes, vomited a mouthful of blood, and instantly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his head had hit something.

boom!

After a loud bang, he landed on the ground with a thud, and everything before him gradually became clear.

The first thing you see

It was the terrified eyes of Melena, who had only one eye left.

Her head-shaped ball was caught in Dia's hand and slid along the stone wall, leaving a long trail of red and white bloodstains.

Only after most of Melena's head had been ground off the stone wall did Dia toss her body to the ground like trash.

In the dim light, Kuroro seemed to see a humanoid white figure, silently floating behind Dia, but in the next instant it disintegrated into a cloud of mist.

'What is that...'

Kuroro's thoughts were interrupted by a sharp pain in his chest.

He looked down and saw that his heart had been thoroughly pierced, and dark red blood was gushing out of his veins.

At this moment, he was no longer in the same place he remembered, but had somehow ended up next to a row of treasure chests and knocked over several treasure chests.

Various kinds of gold and silver treasures were scattered on the ground, a dazzling array that made one's eyes dazzled.

Normally, Kuroro would probably have gladly accepted these valuable treasures.

But now, he has only one thought:

'I got blasted away?'

'He did it? How did he know which one was my original body...?'

The next moment, Kuroro felt the feedback from the puppets.

It turned out that it wasn't his true form that was recognized, but rather that all the puppets and his true form were simultaneously blasted through the heart by a powerful punch!

'A single, powerful punch pierced through eight hearts simultaneously…'

Kuroro suddenly felt a flash of inspiration; the question he had pondered countless times seemed to have a startling answer at this moment:

'Could it be that the hunter can stop time?'

In this way, everything seems to have a reasonable answer!

The answer that had been sought for so long was finally revealed, but Kuroro felt no joy whatsoever.

He felt his body temperature slowly draining away, and his life was like a tap that had been turned on, slowly dissipating along with the flowing blood.

'Am I going to die...?'

Kuroro's consciousness gradually became obscure:

'The final push, truly the final push.'

The words that Melina used to describe Dia's situation back then now seemed so fitting for him, it was almost ironic.

On his deathbed, he tried to lift his head, wanting to turn over and look at the hunter who killed him as he died, hoping that he might be cursed with something like "after death".

Suddenly he stopped moving and stared blankly at the shelf next to him where the treasure chest was placed.

Looking up from below, a hidden compartment appeared on the shelf, seemingly containing a round object.

At the same time, a faint, inconspicuous light flickered on the pages of the book beside Kuroro.

The ability recorded on that page is called—

[Memorial Meeting for Comrades]

--------------

Nas emerged from the stairs like lightning!

boom!

His massive body slammed onto the ground, making the entire building tremble!

"..."

Dia shook her hand somewhat awkwardly, tossing the already dead Melena aside, and frowned slightly as she looked at Naspi who suddenly jumped out.

He had previously asked Sherlock and the others to stop Nasby from catching up.

But now that the other party has appeared here, Sherlock is nowhere to be seen. Could something have happened to him?

After all, as the king of the Kakin Empire, no one knows what tricks Nasby has up his sleeve. It's entirely possible that Sherlock could be tricked if he's careless.

'If he dies, it will be difficult to explain to Qi...'

Dia frowned and politely asked Naspi directly:

"Your Majesty, are my two companions well?"

His frank and polite demeanor surprised Nasby.

'Doesn't this guy know I'm here to kill him?'

Naspi glanced around, and at the [Kichijomaru] in Dia's hand, his gaze hardening.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke:

"They're upstairs, entangled with my father's spirit beast."

Then Naspi suddenly changed the subject, looking at Dia with a leisurely air and asking:

"Your name is Dia, right? Mumu Ze's guard. What are you looking for here? That knife?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the [Ji Zhao Wan] in Dia's hand.

Dia shook her head and did not answer.

"Is it for wealth? Take whatever treasure you want here."

Naspi walked into the mountain of treasure that Dia had turned upside down, took out a piece of paper, unfolded it in front of Dia, and said with a smile:

"This is the ownership contract for the Third Silver Mountain of Kakin. It's guaranteed to be worth at least five trillion jini. The silver it produces each year is enough to feed you for two hundred lifetimes. If you want it, I'll give it to you."

Dia smiled, shook her head, and remained silent.

Nasby's smile faded slightly.

"I don't want the divine artifacts, I don't want the treasures, I'm really starting to get curious."

"What is the purpose of a powerful person like you coming to Kakin to play house with my daughter?"

Chapter 447 Chasing Kuroro × Betrayal

"People live their lives for money and wealth, for power and influence, or for vague ideals and dreams, but no matter what, they will always have a goal. As for you, I can't see your goal."

Nasby's voice was icy.

He stared intently at Dia, and now he had to admit that Dia's abilities had far exceeded his control.

Is it really possible for someone like this to be controlled by Mu Muze?

Nasby shook his head inwardly, not holding out any hope.

As expected, Dia responded to Naspi's question with the same nonchalant attitude:

"Some things I just wanted to do, so I did them. There was no ulterior motive. To always find a high-sounding reason for one's actions is the mindset of a weak person."

"..."

Nasby fell silent.

This answer meant nothing to him.

As expected, the other party had no intention of normal negotiation. It's a pity that such a talented person could not be used by Kakin in the end...

"Then, I have no choice but to ask you to die."

Naspi spoke calmly, and a dangerous aura immediately filled the air, followed by a low command:

"Elf! Release for me a guardian spirit beast powerful enough to kill the person before me!"

The Egg in the Pot, a precious artifact passed down through generations of Kakin, has more than just the ability to release a few parasitic Nen beasts.

As the king, Naspi has the qualification and authority to command the spirits in the pot. In other words, he can command the hundreds of guardian spirit beasts residing in the pot!

Nasby had barely finished speaking.

Dia's gaze sharpened, and she stared intently at Naspi, becoming slightly more serious!

A few seconds later.

The treasury was quiet; nothing had happened...

Dia looked at Naspi suspiciously, seriously doubting that the other party was playing him.

Nasby's calm expression gradually faded, turning into an extremely ugly one, with even a little cold sweat seeping from his forehead.

No response? Why?

'The egg in the pot should be in the hidden compartment of the fourth row of cabinets on the west side. At this distance, the elf should be able to hear my command!'

The king's command of the artifact's spirits through orders could not be without limits.

Leaving aside the limited number of times the [Command] can be used in the short term and the fact that the Spirit Beast can only release it once, the most important constraint is that the artifact will only react if the spirit in the lake can hear Naspi's command from a sufficiently close distance!

Furthermore, the [Egg in the Pot] possesses its own consciousness and, based on a vague intuition, will send out spirit beasts to intercept strangers who approach it.

The guardian spirit beasts dispatched by the artifact are actually the products of the losers in the succession wars of each generation, sacrificed by the victors. Only one can be dispatched at a time.

If someone who is not possessed by the guardian spirit beast is included in the sacrifice list, then the artifact can use that person as a vessel to summon the current king's guardian spirit beast.

In other words, under normal circumstances, the number of guardian spirit beasts released autonomously by the [Egg in the Pot] will not exceed two: one guardian spirit beast of the previous successor in the War of Succession, and one guardian spirit beast of the current king.
