Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 436 Immortality
Nitromi, the ultimate longevity food, is one of the five known hopes of the Dark Continent.

In theory, as long as one can reliably obtain this hope, it means opening the door to immortality.

Moro was severely injured by Byndak, and it was Kurapika who saved him by sacrificing a huge amount of his lifespan.

In the end, Moro inadvertently cleared away the black water that had accumulated deep within his consciousness from absorbing death thoughts, but Kurapika paid an unimaginable price for it.

Kurapika didn't care about this at all, only wishing to spend the rest of his time guarding the graves of his deceased clansmen and praying devoutly for Moro day after day.

But Moro couldn't bear to watch Kurapika die of old age at such a young age.

The world is vast, and it is not just filled with darkness and malice.

It also has countless other wonderful aspects.

Moro hopes that Kurapika can return everything to its original purpose, truly experience this vast world, and let the beautiful things he has yet to encounter cover up the darkness and pain of his past.

of course.

It would be a lie to say that Moreo wasn't tempted by Nitromé, the ultimate hope that could extend lifespan.

Because this is not some mirage that you can see but can't touch, but a real possibility of immortality that you can actually reach.

If one could obtain Nitromex and also find the legendary herb that cures all diseases, in a sense, one could achieve immortality.

Can humans resist such temptation?
Moro felt that if there was the ability to fight for these hopes, then naturally the more the better.

In this way, one would possess superhuman strength, coupled with a lifespan exceeding that of humans...

Once he becomes such an ultimate life form, he might become the freest man in the world, doing whatever he wants without restraint.

By then, even a behemoth like V5, which is based on a nation-state, might not be able to crush it with its so-called national power.

Moro truly believed that this was the strongest in the world.

Unlike Netero, who, even as the strongest, was still bound by the framework of human society.

"There is no legal way to get to the Dark Continent; you can only rely on smuggling. Moreover, the Dark Continent is too vast, so you must use efficient methods of travel when exploring it."

Moro pondered silently in his heart.

Smuggling onto the Dark Continent is an extremely difficult task in itself, and exploration after landing is fraught with danger.

Moreover, the Dark Continent is seventy or eighty times the size of the human world, and just traveling there would take an unknown amount of time and effort.

To address this problem, the chimera must be re-hatched as soon as possible.

He had specifically collected Yupi's corpse, mainly for the purpose of preparing for the Chimera.

Now, with the addition of the remains of the King Ant and Neferpitou, the Chimera should be able to receive immeasurable nutrition, and may even be able to grow rapidly in a short period of time.

If this can awaken the power of "thought", that would be even more ideal.

After all, while the chimera, which does not know how to utilize life energy, can occupy a high ecological position in the human world, it will probably find it difficult to move forward once it steps into the unpredictable Dark Continent.

Thinking about this, Morrow couldn't help but marvel at the effect of the "Spark" mechanism, which allowed the remains of the King Ant, Neferpitou, and Yupi to be preserved intact.

However, a complete corpse like this is actually an extremely valuable material for manipulating puppets.

If one had the corresponding manipulation ability, the benefits of preserving the corpse would certainly be better than feeding it to the chimera.

Moreover, there are thousands of unhatched flesh eggs in the four-dimensional apartment.

Once these ability-wielding soldiers hatch, they can eventually serve as a reserve resource for feeding the chimeras.

"Let's test the infectious power of 'Love Practice Song' first."

Rather than considering the upcoming trip to the Dark Continent, what's more important right now is to confirm the effects of my abilities after leveling up to Lv.100.

Morro remembered that Melina needed to kiss to transmit her infectious abilities.

But the conditions for achieving this ability are probably not that important.

The truly core condition should be the unwavering loyalty of the target of the infection, as well as their ideals and beliefs that are highly aligned with those of the giver.

These are clearly the two points that Melina values ​​more.

Since her goal is to destroy the world, the group's "unity" is very important.

Her strong need for this will naturally be incorporated into the rules of her abilities.

For this reason, in addition to kissing, she also added a special step of "playing cards" to test whether the target was truly qualified to "join the group".

Moro recalled this information about his abilities.

As for how to transmit the virus, given his subconscious needs, it shouldn't need to be that complicated.

Since he doesn't intend to use this ability to destroy the world, there's no need for him to hesitate.

For him, if such a system of abilities truly existed, he would prefer to extend the positive benefits to his companions.

Alternatively, they might use the tactics and strategies of pyramid schemes to develop numerous downlines, and then extract profits related to "recitation" from these downlines.

However, given Moro's consistent style, if he wanted to use this "killing to level up" ability, he would certainly not be too conspicuous, and he would not want information about his ability to spread so easily.

Therefore, the most basic condition for activating this ability is undoubtedly absolute trust between the giver and the receiver.

With this relationship in place, Moro naturally wouldn't have any intention of exploiting him.

As for the intimacy and trust in their relationship, Morrow believed that Kurt and Menchi had absolutely no problem in this regard, but it was hard to say about Pence.

If you're going to the Dark Continent, Pons's "Boundless Bee Window" is still very important.

If possible, Morrow still hopes that Pence can truly become a member of his team.

As he read this, Moreau glanced at Pence without making his eyes out.

only……

Whether one can meet the ability requirements of the Love Practice Song is secondary.

More importantly, does Peng Si have any intention of going to the Dark Continent?

If Pons feels the Dark Continent is too dangerous and therefore doesn't want to participate...

Then Moro will have to look for other reconnaissance-type ability users.

Afterwards, Moro did not directly discuss the "killing to level up" ability with Menchi and the others, but instead asked Moro Wu to help retrieve Xiao Yapuf's body.

Since Shayapof died while under the power of the Fly King, he left behind many remains that were the size of bees.

Compared to the recovery of the remains of the King Ant and Neferpitou, the situation on Shayapov's side is obviously more complicated.

Mo Laowu's Purple Smoke Soldiers could easily handle this matter.

As for why Moro insisted on collecting the corpses of Shayapuf's clones, there was no particular motive; he simply adhered to the principle of not wasting anything, so that he could feed them to the Chimera as snacks later.

While Mo Laowu was maneuvering the Purple Smoke Soldiers to retrieve the corpse of Xiao Yapufu's clone, Na Kulu and his group also left the 4-Dimensional Apartment to prepare for the victory celebration later.

Gail had no interest in the victory celebration and left immediately after confirming that Nitero was alright.

Xiao Jie, on the other hand, was very concerned about Kate's missing arm.

Although Kate herself didn't seem to care much, Jay was already thinking about finding Kim quickly so that Kim could help Kate recover her arm.

In fact, as for restoring his arm, as long as Killua can help Alluka regain his freedom, it's a piece of cake with the power of the "Wishing Machine".

Little Jie didn't know, and Moro couldn't possibly tell him.

After most of the people had left, Morrow briefly explained the effects of "Love Practice" to Kurt, Menchi, and Pons, who were still in the room.

This includes the escalating effect of killing, as well as the mechanism for sharing the ability to spread infection.

"Such Nen abilities actually exist..."

After hearing Moreau's account, Pence's face was filled with disbelief.

Even Menchi, who was quite familiar with the Nen system, could not hide her astonishment.

Although the concept of Nen itself contains infinite possibilities, the idea that one can level up simply by killing is truly terrifying.

It is simple and direct, yet it reveals a chillingly cruel nature.

Kurt didn't think that much about it, but looked at Morrow with anticipation.

According to Moro, as long as the conditions are met, one can use the flesh eggs in the dimensional room to quickly level up.

This kind of thing was incredibly appealing to Kal't, who always cared a lot about his abilities.

Especially after this expedition, Kurt witnessed firsthand the exquisite use of his abilities by his companions and personally experienced the importance of "energy level." However, there are no shortcuts to improving this; it can only be done little by little.

But now Moro has directly provided a shortcut.

Kurt was naturally both expectant and excited, and couldn't wait to ask, "Moro, how can we meet the conditions for sharing abilities?"

"Take an oath."

This is what Moro believes can replace "kissing" and "playing cards".

Taking an oath is enough to demonstrate loyalty and trust, and is equivalent to entrusting everything to Moro.

In exchange, Moro can provide a way to quickly improve one's strength.

This makes sense.

If the oath is taken but the ability does not take effect.

That means the recipient doesn't have enough trust, so there's no need to give them that power.

"An oath...?"

Kurt asked with some curiosity, "So what should I say?"

"let me see."

Moro raised his hand to rest his chin.

Taking an oath is merely a step in fulfilling one's capabilities; whatever the content of the oath may be, as long as it expresses one's attitude, that is sufficient.

Even so, Moro still carefully considered a few words of oath.

He felt this step was the most important, so it couldn't be taken lightly.

After a while.

Morrow quickly came up with a straightforward and simple oath, and immediately said, "Kurt, when you swear your oath, say... that although we may not be born at the same time, we will die at the same moment. Once this oath is made, there will be no gap between us in life and death."

"it is good!"

Kurt nodded quickly.

Morrow then reached out and took Kurt's hand.

“Take the oath.”

he said softly.

Kurt immediately became solemn and solemnly said, "We were born at different times, but we will die at the same time. Now that this oath has been made, there will be no gap between us in life and death."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Moro expectantly again.

"Is this okay?"

"Ah."

The moment Kurt completed his oath, Morrow had only a fleeting thought, but information such as Kurt's rank, status, and location appeared in his mind.

This indicates that the "infection" was successful.

From that moment on, Kurt, like him, possessed the ability to kill and level up.

However, as the giver, he has access to detailed information about the recipient at any time.

"Kurt, try silently asking yourself to check your level and see if any level information comes to mind."

"Well, I'll try."

Kurt silently asked himself to check the level, and then the level information of Lv.1 flashed in his mind.

"really have!"

Kurt's eyes sparkled with excitement as he couldn't help but look at the pile of fleshy eggs in the room.

With so many experienced babies around, you'll definitely be able to level up to a very high level very quickly.

Just imagining it made Kurt even more excited.

Morrow smiled as he watched Kurt's reaction.

He always knew that Kurt cared a lot about strength, and even often suffered mentally because of it.

Now that I have the ability to upgrade my Love Practice Song, I think I won't have to suffer mentally from this kind of thing anymore.

"Menchi, it's your turn."

Moro turned his gaze to Menchi.

Menchi immediately cooperated and was soon infected with Moro's ability.

Then, Morrow looked at Pence.

Of the three, Peng Si's displayed temperament was the weakest, not even reaching the third-rate level.

Therefore, strictly speaking, her need for the ability to kill and upgrade is the highest among the three.

During her participation in the campaign, Peng Si witnessed the terrifying aura of the experts using her "Boundless Bee Window" ability.

This meant that she didn't hesitate at all when faced with the choice Moro offered.

Morrow was initially worried that Pence's "trust and favorability" towards him might not be enough to meet the ability requirements.

But after Pence also became infected, he was clearly overthinking it.

For the next few days, Moro and his friends stayed in the four-dimensional apartment.

After the first batch of flesh eggs hatched in the Dimensional Apartment, Kalte and the others immediately threw themselves into leveling up.

The initial level of the chimera soldier after hatching is approximately between Lv.60 and Lv.70, which allowed the three to quickly reach level 60, and also reserved the number of times to research and develop new abilities.

Pons hasn't decided what new ability to develop yet, but Kalte has already developed a preliminary idea for an ability called "Shikigami".

This idea was suggested by Moro.

Kal't actually understands the specific concept of shikigami very well, but in essence it is a pure manipulation ability.

More precisely, it is the ability to transform the corpses of the Ant King and his direct guards into shikigami.

Just as Moro and his friends were leveling up in the Fourth Dimension Apartment, several things happened around the world.

Although it's said to be several things, they are all actually related to chimeric ants.

When the queen ant died, the chimeric ants in the nest immediately scattered in different directions.

Although they were subsequently intercepted by the Hunter Association, a few Chimera Ants still managed to escape.

Division Commander Scorpion Girl Zazan arrived in Meteor City, feeling that this place, isolated from the world, was perfect for her anthill.

But she didn't expect that someone had already beaten her to it.

That person's name was Zailuo, and like her, he was a chimeric ant.

the other side.

Melena traversed the continent of Eurubian and the ocean, eventually arriving at the ancient kingdom of Ganyu.

Her target is a group called "Dust People" within the ancient Ganyu Kingdom.

The term "dust people" refers to people as insignificant as dust.

In reality, it refers to citizens who have committed crimes, and their descendants.

Like the ancient Ganyu Kingdom, the Kingdom of Kakin is a monarchy, so there are similar groups within the Kingdom of Kakin.

Melina was quite familiar with this.

This is why she was willing to travel a long distance to enter the ancient Ganyu Kingdom.

She wants to use the existence of the "Dust People" as a starting point.

at the same time.

Pariston did indeed use the pretext of "dereliction of duty" to force Netero to step down.
