From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

As Long spoke, the terrifying black soul fog spread out between heaven and earth like a tsunami, with him as the center.

The guide who was standing nearby was hit hard by the soul pressure almost instantly. The light in his eyes disappeared and he fell to the ground.

Endless black fog spread like a virus. Wherever it passed, the transformed soul creatures seemed to be injected with chicken blood and roared to the sky.

Moreover, as the black fog swept across the vast land, countless spirits that had been absorbed by Long appeared one by one, and they became a huge army.

Among them are spirits he absorbed from the human world, headed by Meruem, Netero, etc., as well as many life forms that died in his hands over the years, all kinds of strange creatures, flying in the sky, running on the ground... Looking down from the sky, the entire surface of the earth has been occupied by spiritual life, and there is no end as far as the eye can see.

Like a sea of ​​'dead souls'.

And Long was surrounded in the center.

"We choose to accept you and let you build your home on this land. This is the bottom line."

Above, the will remained unchanged.

"really?"

Long's body changed, and the raging soul fire burned his flesh and blood, revealing the appearance of Thresh.

In one hand he held the chain of Rig's Lantern, and in the other he grasped the axe blade at the end of the lantern.

"Since you know that I can evolve infinitely... you wouldn't let me stay in the Dark Continent, and you wouldn't give me enough time... So, you want to confuse me, right? Delay... wait for the real masters behind the scenes to come and judge me?"

Long swung the chain gently and said lightly.

"Humans...are indeed boring, low-level creatures."

As the will to negotiate surged, thunder and lightning roared in the sky.

One after another, red and black lightning fell on the earth, as if it were a solid entity, and did not flash away.

Then, a gigantic snake head appeared vaguely in the sky, with a pair of eyes as big as the sun and the moon, emitting murderous eyes.

A figure gradually walked down from the vastest and thickest lightning.

It was a life form that resembled a sub-human monster.

At first glance, it looks just like a human, but the difference is that the lower body has human legs and feet, and there is no neck and head above the chest. Instead, there are eight snake bodies, and the eight snake heads have human faces. Each hand holds a weapon, which are a dagger and a spear respectively.

"It seems that your evolution to this point is also inseparable from human genes...Your intelligence is also due to humans."

There was still a very long distance between Long and the other party's real body, and one was in the sky and the other on the ground, but the eyes of both of them could clearly lock onto each other.

"The only value of humans is to provide nutrients needed for evolution... but at this point, they are no longer useful."

The snake man said coldly, his tongue constantly spitting out from his mouth.

"Stop talking so much. Eat me, or... be eaten by me."

Long raised a bloodthirsty smile.

He had waited for so long, and finally...he met one of the true rulers of this land.

"You are a fish that slipped through the cracks in time and space... You don't belong here, and you don't even know your own abilities... We have lived on this continent for a long time, and the order of evolution is something you cannot change. Your desires, which you have not concealed, have already foreshadowed your end."

As soon as the words fell, Long had already taken the initiative.

Countless spirits shot up and flew towards the snake man standing on the lightning like a swarm of locusts.

Boom boom!

Almost at the same time, the violent sea of ​​thunder surged, interweaving between heaven and earth, destroying all souls.

However, the soul energy transformed from these spirits did not completely dissipate, and it quickly re-condensed, and the offensive continued unabated.

Rules are imposed and gamified.

Long stared at the snake man in the dazzling sea of ​​light, mixing the power of rules into the diffused energy, attempting to change this space and make the battlefield change by various forms of energy.

His clairvoyance allows him to see through the physical weaknesses of snakemen and deliver hits and critical strikes, and he also has an attack range beyond common sense... The rules that best fit these elements are games.

Rule judgment, failed!

However, Long did not succeed, because the enemy also controlled the power of rules and could compete with him.

If you want the power of rules to take effect, there must be a prerequisite, and the prerequisite must be completed before the rules can take effect, otherwise... it is just a simple kind of energy.

To put it bluntly, if you want to apply the power of rules to actual combat, both sides need to disguise themselves and set traps in advance, waiting for the other side to jump in and participate.

Then various constraints are imposed.

"If the powerful rules cannot be expanded, then... we can only pursue small changes in the details."

For example, calling out the other person's name... or making him lose consciousness for half a minute, etc. However, with such small prerequisites, the power of rules that can be applied is also very limited.

The fight between him and his opponent was also a contest of brainpower and observation.

You must not fall into this trap.

Once you are restricted by the rules, you will inevitably fall into a disadvantage and get into big trouble.

Long raised the chain, and the tool immediately penetrated the space and fell directly from the top of the snake man's head, wrapping around the target in circles.

He's been evolving, and his abilities are always improving, not just Thresh's skills, but also Senna and Ekko's.

This move that breaks through space was evolved and developed from the attack range.

Click.

The next second, several snake heads of the snake man bit the chains. It seemed that it could touch the tools in the soul state. Not only did its sharp fangs break the chains, but its venom also melted the long chains.

The violent lightning was still running in all directions, and the densely packed ghosts could not get close to the snake man at all.

The eight snake heads of the snake man suddenly grew larger, and spewed streams of thick venom into the sky. The poison began to spread over the battlefield along with the strong wind, and heavy rain began to fall in a short moment. All of this rain was transformed from its venom.

The snake head regularly spits out its tongue, making a silver bell sound that echoes throughout the earth.

All living things that heard the sound, including plants and trees, instantly withered and died.

Long's soul army was also gradually collapsing, and the energy he mobilized was even difficult to control for a while due to the interference of the sound waves.

"Lightning and sound, two extraordinary elemental powers, and venom is an inherent talent... As expected, those who can evolve into a dominant being are no ordinary people." Long said, gently shaking the lantern in his hand, swinging it left and right, like a clock hand... Gradually, the flow of time in the entire battlefield slowed down.

Eventually it stagnates and freezes.

Even the snake people maintained stiff movements and expressions...

Controlling time is not a rule, but his ability.

It was also formed from the development of Ike's skills.

Long suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of the snake man in the center of the thunder and lightning.

His eyes were cold, and he swung the axe in his hand down to chop him on the head.

boom!

But what was surprising was that the snake man, who was originally frozen in time, suddenly raised his dagger to block the fatal blow. The eyeballs on the eight snake heads moved, and his limbs seemed to be slowly regaining mobility.

Any ability is transformed from energy and is located downstream of the power of rules.

The appearance of energy means that there is antagonism, and it does not work absolutely.

Whether it is Long or the Snake People, when they have reached their stage of evolution, it is actually a competition in essence, not just in form.

See who has the stronger life energy.

The killing move was blocked, and Long suddenly opened his mouth. A ball of burning soul fire suddenly flew onto the snake man and burned with a loud bang.

"what!"

The snake man howled in pain.

Long was also bitten on the shoulder by a snake head.

The snake man's body suddenly squirmed and swelled, rising against the wind and beginning to grow larger.

It then transformed into a gigantic monster standing between heaven and earth, with eight heads and one tail, and discarded its human appearance... Many monsters and creatures can do this.

Oboro's body was also rising, and Thresh's body was gathered by telekinesis. If Menqi and the others were still there, they would probably not believe it, because even Netero's Hundred-style Guanyin was as small as an ant in front of Oboro and the snake man.

The next moment, the earth shook violently.

Two giant, god-like creatures began the most primitive fight.

For a moment, heaven and earth were in chaos, and strong winds blew everywhere.

The souls of the dead are floating in the sky and thunder and lightning are rolling.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the noisy, dilapidated, apocalyptic-like space finally returned to peace.

Thresh, standing tall as a pillar of strength, stepped on the corpse of a snake that had fallen to the ground and let out a soul-stirring howl.

The snake man's endless soul power poured into Long's body like a flowing river.

First!

This will be the beginning of his hunt for all the rulers in the Dark Continent!

Thresh's figure disappeared, revealing Long's true form. Half of his body was corroded by venom...the injury was serious.

Fortunately, there is tremendous vitality stored in the body, which can be recovered bit by bit, but it may take a long time.

Long looked up at the sky, ready to fly up, jump over the door, and see what the "ecology" of the snake people's territory was like.

But before he moved, he seemed to have noticed something.

Suddenly he frowned.

Look behind you.

Whoosh!

A 'thing' emitting terrifying energy waves rushed in at an astonishing speed.

Falling into the desolate and messy battlefield.

The person who came was also the size of a human, but was shrouded in a soul fog.

Long narrowed his eyes. He was still furious after having just killed the snake man. The powerful soul pressure immediately slammed into the surface of the creature, dispersing the soul fog around it, revealing its original appearance.

It has two horns on its head, a mouthful of sharp teeth, dark skin, long limbs... and several metal rings hanging on its ears.

Demon King!
