Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Whether startled by Mo Laowu's earth-shattering roar or not, the massive object beneath the Ziyan ship suddenly rose upwards!

As millions of tons of seawater rose and fell, the colossal object finally broke through the water's cover, revealing its true form!

It was a colossal python that stretched from the heavens to the earth!

The giant python was unimaginably large, its body segmented and covered with silver and black stripes, its scales gleaming with a dark luster.

If you ignore the size, it looks a bit like a banded krait.

"Roar--!!!"

The giant python let out a roar that resounded through the sky. Its head stood up like a sharp peak, its blood-red eyes resembled a blood-red moon, and its body resembled an endless black mountain range.

On the snake's back.

The Purple Smoke was not even as wide as a single ring, and it was lifted into the sky in one go, and was inevitably sliding down due to gravity!

In the command center.

Upon hearing the earth-shattering roar, Yinda's expression changed drastically, and he cried out:

"Get out of here! It's about to turn over!"

With his intuition about living things, Yinda immediately understood what the sea king was about to do.

Given the size of that giant python and the current position of the Purple Smoke, if it were to remain stationary...

What awaits the Purple Smoke is undoubtedly being crushed into dust by the aftershocks of that giant python's flipping motion!

Without hesitation, Mo Laowu lifted a hidden cover, revealing a red button inside:

"Activate! Backup hidden power source!"

pat!

The moment Mo Laowu pressed the red button, the engine of the Purple Smoke, which had been shut down for several days, roared to life!

"boom----!!"

A dazzling blue beam of light suddenly shot out from the cannon barrel behind the Purple Smoke, bursting out several Mach rings, like a cannonball, and launched the entire giant ship away in one go!

At the same time, two cyan wind pillars instantly unfolded and pushed forward forcefully from behind the ship!

call out--!

The Purple Smoke vanished from the area in the blink of an eye, like a catapulted cloud of dust.

And the moment they left the snake's back

Without hesitation, the giant python twisted its body like wringing out a towel, looking like a living mountain turning over...

In an instant, the world turned upside down!

……

boom! !

The Purple Smoke suddenly plunged, splashing waves on the sea surface, churning up and down for a while before finally coming to a stop.

The ship creaked and groaned from all sides, like the sickening clanging of bones in an elderly person's body.

A while later.

Only a few heads cautiously peeked out from the deck, looking at their surroundings.

"..."

Inside the command center, everyone fell silent.

Everyone was still reeling from their narrow escape, and the thought of that terrifying giant python sent chills down their spines.

In contrast, the hunters led by Dia remained relatively calm, silently watching the churning sea several nautical miles away.

"It's not safe enough yet. Quickly tell the others to raise the sails and get as far away from that Tear of the Sea as possible for now!"

Dia decisively gave the order, while continuing to activate her abilities, blowing the Purple Smoke in the opposite direction of the giant python's surging.

After everyone returned to their work stations, Jin, with a cold expression, suddenly said to Diya:

"...Although there is no evidence, I suspect that the appearance of that sea king is related to Byron!"

The ancient routes they took were certainly not safe calm zones, so it wouldn't be surprising to find sea monsters there.

In fact, they had encountered giant sea kings more than once during their voyage in the previous days.

However, this is the first time we've seen something this massive.

Dia was silent for a moment:

"I actually feel the same way, but I can't figure out how he did it?"

"A [Manipulation] type Nen ability? What price would one have to pay to control such a behemoth, and how much Nen would be required?"

Moreover, the giant python's current behavior doesn't seem to be controlled.

"It doesn't necessarily mean direct control."

Jin shook his head and said:

"Just like a tiny earthworm can attract a fish weighing hundreds of kilograms, it's not difficult to simply guide that sea monster to the route they've traveled."

“...That makes sense. We’re almost at the Dark Continent. By Yangde probably thought we might let our guard down because of that, so he prepared this.”

As Dia spoke, she looked up at the horizon and suddenly fell silent.

Jin frowned slightly upon seeing this, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.

For some reason, ever since approaching the Dark Continent, Dia has frequently fallen into this inexplicable silence.

Most of the time, Jin could only see him holding Qiduo or Pokson, staring blankly, as if sensing something.

What could be so important to Dia?

Chapter 505 [Standing at the Top of the Food Chain] × A Serpent's Tail Hangs Down from the Sky

On the vast, boundless sea.

A massive, powerful roar surged across the unobstructed sea!

The fish, which stretched for thousands of miles, scattered in advance, much like ants before an earthquake.

"Tinky plankton attract shrimp, shrimp attract small fish, small fish attract big fish, big fish attract whales..."

"In this vast world, life is a constant cycle of mutual generation and restraint."

"This principle applies to both the Dark Continent and Lake Möbius."

After removing the "凝" (a type of eye mask) from his eyes, Yang De suddenly laughed:

“It’s a crazy mountain, Pectoro, the shrimp you threw down really attracted a big fish.”

"...Hey, Yang De, let's hurry up and go."

Unlike the composed Byand, the diminutive Pectello, wearing a mushroom hat, appeared unusually uneasy.

He gazed at the distant horizon, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

"I have a feeling of unease. Something is coming from that direction. It... is interfering with my abilities!"

Upon seeing this, Bi Yangde frowned, and the smile on his face faded.

Pectoro was a biological expert whom he had been nurturing for over twenty years, starting from his graduate studies.

His joining the Hunter Association, and even becoming a member of the association, was also Yang De's doing.

His [Conjuration] ability is remarkably effective on the Dark Continent, where the food chain is exceptionally vast; its name is—

Standing at the top of the food chain!

Its effects are exceptionally powerful:

After the ability is activated.

Within a certain range, Pectero can make a wish, and the surrounding environment will subtly help him fulfill that wish!

Of course, not all wishes can be fulfilled.

In fact, the fulfillment of a wish is itself a form of constraint.

Once activated, this wish must be fulfilled within 48 hours, otherwise Pector will be forced into a one-week "absolute" state.

But anyone with eyes can see that

The strategic value of this capability.

When Pectaro makes a wish, even if it cannot be fulfilled in the end, the real world will change depending on the direction in which the wish is fulfilled.

For example, if he wanted to destroy humanity.

When he is on the summit of a dormant volcano, the volcano may change into an active volcano, and so on. This is an irreversible change.

Corresponding to the domineering effect of the ability,

It is an outrageously harsh set of restrictions:

Firstly, this ability can only be activated when the user is in a non-human settlement.

This means that it cannot be launched in villages, cities, counties, towns, or other similar locations.

Secondly, the ability cannot be activated again within 48 hours of its activation.

Third, the process of [wish fulfillment] must be unrelated to the ability user; it depends entirely on the [strength] of the natural species in the [activation environment].

In other words, Pectello cannot actively participate in the fulfillment of the [Wish] during the activation of his ability; otherwise, the ability will be considered a failure to activate.

Fourth, the scope of the "activation environment" in Article 3 is the scope of the realization of the "wish" and also the scope of the ability's influence. If the ability is outside the scope, it will be ineffective.

[Range] is calculated using an empirical formula summarized by Pectello himself.

The formula is as follows:

$$R=frac{n*max(t_i)}{rho}$$
