Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Layer upon layer of writhing shadows rose up, overwhelming everything, like a terrifying mountain peak suspended in the sky. Within the shadows, countless gaping maws opened and closed bloodthirstyly, countless scarlet eyes swayed wildly, and countless terrifying worms surged and rolled like waves.

"grumble--!"

In an instant, the worm and the grotesque face simultaneously emitted countless painful and frantic screams!

Dia remembered.

The shrike has a habit of stringing its prey on trees, and surprisingly, this habit has not changed even after arriving in the Dark Continent.

Chapter 507 Infinite Fate × The Mystery of Timelines

A colossal bird, so large it filled the entire sky, cried out, and in an instant, an invisible wave of sound violently swept across the land, stirring up countless clouds of dust!

In that instant, Dia's pupils contracted sharply!

On the raised neck of the giant bird, there was a terrifying black scar as deep as an abyss. Countless worms, like corpse maggots, rose up from the scar and trembled violently. Then, they laid giant white eggs!

Pat pat pat—

The sound was like raindrops falling, dense and numerous.

A chaotic burst of explosions erupted all at once, and the giant white egg exploded the moment it was laid!

In an instant, the green pus and sludge turned into a foul-smelling rain that filled the sky.

at the same time.

One after another, hungry, writhing, inhuman black shadows hatched from the cracked eggshells, standing in layers upon layers, densely packed together.

A fear, seemingly ingrained from the very beginning of life and etched into our genes, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of oppression, descended upon everyone.

"run!!!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and instinct instantly drove everyone to unleash surging flames that shot straight into the sky!

Bang! Bang! Bang! —

Like a small meteorite hitting the ground, the hunters were like springs compressed to their limit suddenly exploding, instantly creating dozens of small craters on the spot.

In an instant, sand and stones flew and split apart!

however.

The giant bird opened its crimson eyes, as bright as the sun and moon, and looked at the dozens of hunters who were so small they were almost invisible at its feet, revealing a deep-seated hatred and killing intent!

That chilling, terrifying killing intent seemed to distort the surrounding space.

Reality is responding to the giant bird's terrifying murderous intent.

It opened its mouth, and a black aura, as dazzling as the aurora borealis, flowed wildly like a sea current, condensing all at its mouth in a very short time.

The next moment, a pitch-black hole appeared in the giant bird's beak.

The hole rotates silently, out of place with everything around it, like something from another layer.

However, the moment the cave appeared.

Everyone stopped rushing forward—

They can't go any further!

A pulling force emanating from space gripped every muscle in their bodies, making it impossible for them to take another step forward!

Around them—

Trees, flowers, grass, and earth!

Everything was torn apart by this invisible force, lifted into the air, and flew backwards toward the giant bird's mouth!

All their struggles only bought them a moment's delay. Almost simultaneously, everyone's feet left the ground, flying backwards into the sky along with the shattered debris!

'【The Wor……'

Dia's eyes searched for Poxon and Qiduo, and she subconsciously activated her time-stopping ability!

A platinum-gold world appeared instantly, ready to stop time without hesitation!

"boom!"

From nowhere, two arms wrapped in the purest and most refined spiritual energy appeared out of thin air and slammed into [World]'s head with lightning speed!

hum-

The moment the Stand was severely injured, a deep buzzing sound exploded in Dia's ears, her eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and her mind went blank for a moment!

'There are also... experts...'

In the fleeting moment of her blurred consciousness, Dia followed the two arms upwards and saw a slightly childlike face, cute yet with a cold expression—

That face looks exactly like Poxon's.

"Dia!"

Unlike the others who were powerless and could only let gravity pull them into the giant bird's mouth.

Pokson, possessing the [Fool] ability, instinctively sought out Dia and Qiduo to activate his ability transfer!

But by the time she saw Dia, he had already shot into the air like an arrow, and she couldn't catch him no matter what she did...

Time seemed to be stretched into a long, thin thread.

The turbulent airflow stopped, and Pokson hung in mid-air, desperately stretching out his arms, trying to hook Dia, but he couldn't touch her no matter what he did.

In that very instant.

Poxon was faced with a difficult choice—

Should he activate his ability and abandon Dia to run away, or take a gamble and be sucked into the giant bird's mouth along with him?

Her hesitation lasted only a moment.

In an instant, the Nen that had been gathered at the head of Pokson loosened and flowed to his limbs and bones, transforming into the solidified [Firmness].

She was willing to take the gamble—

Because if the same situation happened, Dia would never escape alone!

But the moment she made her decision, it seemed that someone else made the decision for her.

"Boom!"

A straight thigh, burning with scarlet flames, appeared out of thin air, as if it were about to kick the air apart, and kicked Poxon hard in the back!

"puff--"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Pokson was struck as if by lightning, and his spiritual energy dissipated from his entire body!

At this moment, even if she changed her mind and wanted to use her ability to escape, she couldn't.

'who……'

Pokson barely managed to turn his head, but when he turned back, he saw a mysterious figure covered in flames slowly disappearing.

The mysterious man left her with only a familiar back view, waving his hand behind him as if to say, "You're welcome."

'Who the hell wants to meddle...'

Just as Pokson was about to curse in his mind, he was struck by a huge tree trunk and sent flying into the giant bird's mouth...

The results for the others were similar.

Even if they tried their best and used all their abilities, they were all swept up by that enormous and irresistible gravitational pull.

No one survived!

"Gu..."

After everything settled down, the giant bird shook its head in satisfaction, and a turbulent current instantly rose in the sky.

Then it flapped its wings, took off, and soared into the sky, disappearing from sight.

After the giant bird left.

In the now-barren woods, a man's voice suddenly rang out from nowhere:

"That's about it. We've reached the limit on this timeline. Whether we can make it to the end is up to fate."

"Every step that follows is no longer our concern."

At the same time, another woman's voice jumped out:

“I think this time she can at least take the second step. In the end, she wants to follow along instead of leaving. There is enough trust between them.”

"Oh, I didn't look closely. If that's the case, I wish I hadn't kicked it."

"You're not paying attention, you idiot."

“It’s not that I wasn’t paying attention, but that double-peak ear-piercing blow you just delivered to him seemed a bit too heavy. I was afraid you’d hurt him and it would backfire.”

"No, my strength is very precise. He is always using Nen to protect himself, so it won't cause any major harm."

"There's no need to be so heavy. Your eardrums are probably ruptured. Luckily, Qiduo is here. Otherwise, if he had succeeded, he could have killed you instead."

"Are you still in Qiduo? Aren't you envious of his life? Don't you miss that teacher who's been dead for so many years? Don't you hope he succeeds so he can fix the timeline of his three wives?"

"Haha, look at you, you're in such a hurry again..."

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

About hundreds of millions of years ago.

A terrifying meteor, carrying boundless power, came from outer space and crashed into the planet.

The meteor passed through the atmosphere without being burned or worn down by friction.

It landed.

A crater so enormous that it terrifies even the ancient behemoths of this land, unlike anything ever seen since the planet's inception.

It appeared on the surface of the planet.

Logically speaking, such a massive crater should have generated enough impact to shatter the entire planet into pieces, or at the very least, cause a chain reaction of continental shelf collapse.

That was undoubtedly the end of the world.
