Becoming the Supreme Will starting from Hunter x Hunter

Deal with this

That old fox is someone you can't afford to be careless about.

"You guys chat..."

Phils Lily wisely left, called over her subordinates outside the door, and pushed herself out.

Once only the two of them were left in the room, Netero regained a serious expression. "The basic operations are all set, right..."

"I can barely walk a few steps."

"Hmm... Once we're capable of basic actions, we should focus on restoring our physical condition first, and then on our own 'qi'. Do you have any ideas?"

Netero stared at Oboro with a half-smile.

He was asking the question intentionally, to see what Long's understanding of "nian" was.

"You mean, using external energy to nourish and replenish the flesh and blood?"

"Long answered."

"Hehe...you're really smart." Netero's eyes lit up as he praised her.

Given the current situation, Oboro is in a good mood and has not been discouraged, which is within the old man's expectations.

The training process for Nen users begins with sensing their own life energy, or 'essence,' learning to control it, and imbuing it with self-awareness, transforming it into 'Nen energy.' Then, through the technique of 'entanglement,' they stabilize the Nen energy throughout their body, preventing its loss. Next comes 'refinement,' which stimulates, strengthens, and enhances the Nen energy… Through physical training and mental discipline, they enrich their Nen energy… In Oboro's view, this is a process of increasing 'internal strength.'

Within the realm of the cultivation method of 'refinement', how can one increase the amount of mental energy?

First and foremost, it is to strengthen the flesh and bones, making one's original vitality more vigorous.

Secondly, it absorbs external 'energy' and steals the 'vital energy' from other 'life forms'...

However, the host of this 'qi' must be very weak... and the 'qi' emitted must be extremely pure, without any impurities, otherwise it is impossible to plunder it.

It is equivalent to absorbing and transforming.

Oboro knew this because in the Dark Continent arc of the original work, when Kurapika helped ordinary people quickly become Nen users, this point was mentioned and described indirectly.

The best environment for plundering air is nature.

Every blade of grass and every tree... these unconscious lives emit a faint aura, but it is safe to 'eat' them.

This is also the secret behind why Long chose to go into seclusion in the mountains for cultivation, and why his magnanimity far surpasses that of ordinary people.

"A full recovery, and returning to your previous level, may take a long time..."

Nitro said.

Long had already made his calculations.

Everything started anew, from the Moritonio Circus to joining the association… It took him nearly five years to grow, but his current state is worse than when he was in the circus. Although his body and mind have adapted to 'Nian', and he has the mindset and experience to accelerate this process, it will take at least… three years.

Oboro didn't want to wait...

If there were no other way, he would devote himself to spiritual practice.

But if there's a better way, why not use it?

“I’ve already contacted the Zoldyck family,” Oboro said.

"Oh…"

Netero was not surprised.

"You know?"

Long smiled slightly.

"Hmm." Netero nodded slightly.

Oboro offered the Zoldyck family a price they couldn't refuse!

However, the matter concerning Alluka is a secret.

Although that thing was in Kukuroku Mountain, it was always imprisoned and sealed off... because without 'imprisonment', later...

The consequences would be unimaginable.

The Zoldyck family's mission is more accurately described as guarding 'that thing'.

Oboro was going to Kukuroku Mountain, so whatever happened would be within the Zoldyck family's territory, and he would bear the consequences himself... Therefore, it would not affect or harm the outside world.

The Zoldyck family had no reason to refuse such an astronomical sum of money.

The real reason why Netero came to see Oboro this time was actually related to this.

From the Zoldyck family's perspective, Oboro might know about this... perhaps it's related to Netero.

"Where did you know that?"

The old man asked with interest.

He had no doubt about the Zoldyck family's information blockade regarding 'that thing'... and since it concerned the Dark Continent and the Five Calamities, it was a top-level secret even in V5, and very few people would ever see it.

Even if Oboro were one of the Ten Elders, he wouldn't be able to reach that level.

"Don't tell you."

Long met the old man's eyes and gave a faint smile.

The unpleasant feeling of arousing Netero's curiosity without letting him know the truth... Oboro felt a sense of vengeful pleasure.

"Ugh."

The old man slapped his forehead, realizing what the little fox was thinking, and his expression turned serious. "It can help you heal yourself... but with your injuries, it's probably difficult to fully recover, and... you'll have to pay a 'price.' That power is very dangerous... you might not be able to bear it."

"Let's do it my way..."

"No, I'm confident I can achieve my goal without paying anything... with 100% safety and success rate!"

Long resolutely refused.

"Ok?"

Netero narrowed his eyes. Oboro wasn't joking, and besides... knowing Oboro as he did, the kid was serious!

"The person who made the wish wasn't me... The Zoldyck family has already noticed something's amiss..."

Long said something.

"How much do you actually know about the Dark Continent?"

For the first time, Niterlo couldn't quite discern the depth of Oboro's expression.

Over the years, very few people have ever traveled to the Dark Continent and returned… Judging from Oboro's background and resume, unless he has direct connections with the higher-ups at V5, otherwise…

But that's impossible.

He possesses extensive martial arts skills, profound telekinetic abilities, and a thorough understanding of certain secrets.

Bisky had previously suspected who Oboro's master was...

These are things that cannot be accomplished by an individual alone...

"The five major disasters and their corresponding five hopes... I know everything you know."

Long's expression turned languid, and she deliberately dragged out the last syllable, "Even things you don't know... I know some things too..."

"..."

Netero.

"What's wrong? You look a little pale... Are you feeling unwell?" Long asked deliberately.

"..."

"Ah...are you worried I'll leak this? Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret. I know very well what kind of impact it would have if these things got out. So, I'm just telling you," Oboro said with a smile.

"These secrets are only kept from most people. Within the association, besides me, there should be others who know... You already guessed that I joined the association because of you and Linnie, so you must have already guessed some things..."

"Hehehe..."

Suddenly, Netero, who had been keeping a straight face, laughed again. Although he was laughing,

His eyes, however, were extremely serious. "You little rascal, we really can't let our guard down for a second... Even I, an old man, find you a bit unfathomable, you're terrifying..."

"We have to keep a close eye on you, otherwise... no one can guarantee what kind of trouble you might cause."

“You’re not just keeping an eye on me… But you’re so old, won’t it be too much of a strain? Can you keep up?” Long smiled.

"Hmm... at least he's eating well and sleeping well now, looks like he can live for several more decades, so you don't need to worry about him..."

Netero said calmly.

“I won’t forcefully stop you from going to the Zoldyck family. It’s your decision, and I have no right to interfere… After all, you’re the one who has to bear the risks.”

Good luck...

After saying that, Netero made an OK sign, showing a row of teeth and smiling.

Immediately, he went out of the room.

Before leaving, he muttered to himself, "These younger generations these days are all so difficult to deal with... But that's what makes it interesting..."

After the former left, Oboro, who seemed relaxed, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Relax your tense body.

He knew Netero would come…

This was a test and a game of strategy.

An invisible confrontation.

Choose between the five calamities and the five hopes...

Nitro and V5 are on the side of fearing disaster... for fear of causing irreversible consequences for the human world.

But as a transmigrator, Oboro's soul does not belong to this world, and he has no relatives. He only wants to become stronger... Therefore, he is more inclined to explore hope.

Disasters threaten the general public... but for those with certain abilities and skills, they are merely a challenge.

He enjoys challenges!

Therefore, even if the human world collapses, in Oboro's eyes, it is a natural process of survival of the fittest.

Outsiders might call him heartless... or say he has no humanity.
