Becoming the Supreme Will starting from Hunter x Hunter

"Bring someone here."

Long gave the order to the former.

"Yes."

Lance responded and leaped down from the tree branch.

Oboro's gaze shifted again to the soldiers wandering around the collapsed buildings.

They were not only wearing white protective suits, but also sealed helmets.

It gives the impression that a plague is breaking out here.

"There…"

Suddenly, Kaki pointed in a direction.

Following the sound, Oboro and Hisoka looked and saw a large amount of charred material piled up in a corner outside the town, still smoking...

“They’re corpses…most likely residents of this town,” Oboro said.

"what?"

Kaki was stunned.

Burn the corpse!

The enemy of the East Godot army was the Botswana people, so why would they kill their own people? It doesn't make sense... And it's even more impossible that they were killed by the Botswana people.

Moreover... they haven't even ventured deep into the Sawtooth Mountains yet; they're quite far away. How could the battle have spread here?

This place is at least tens of kilometers away from the mountains…

Hisoka sat leisurely on the tree trunk, one hand supporting one leg, twirling a card in his hand, and chuckled softly: "It's a source of infection, isn't it... For some reason, once you come into contact with an unknown substance, it will be dangerous and have serious consequences... So, the best way is to kill all the infected people."

"Virus?"

Kaki's expression changed slightly.

Even the Kingdom's army couldn't control it, which shows that this 'virus' has a terrifying ability to spread and proliferate... Once it spreads completely, there is a crisis that could sweep across the entire country.

If it cannot be brought under further control... it may threaten all of humanity.

Is this the reason the association assigns tasks?

“It’s not necessarily a virus…” Long said aloud.

“That’s right, I’m just listing a hypothesis… but it must be some kind of transmission substance similar to a ‘virus’…” Hisoka continued.

An absurd thought surfaced in Long's mind.

Zombies…

The video that Dama found shows that the Botswana people can still fight after they die, which does seem somewhat plausible.

At this moment, the three realized that Lance had returned, and his figure disappeared from the tree one after another.

After a while... they appeared in another location.

Pinson, Dama, and Dangri, ordinary people, along with the villagers who brought them here, are all here.

Lance threw an unconscious soldier to the ground, removed his hood, and woke him up.

"you……"

The soldier opened his eyes and saw a group of unfamiliar faces and a gun pointed at him, which immediately made him uneasy.

He was patrolling the route when he heard a slight noise. Before he could react, he was struck hard on the back of the head and lost consciousness.

At a glance, it was clear that the people he had kidnapped were outsiders.

“Don’t want peanuts… then behave yourself, I’ll ask, you answer.” Lance crouched down, his face fierce, and pressed the muzzle of his gun against the soldier’s temple, a chilling aura emanating from him.

The vocal tract.

The latter nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

“Tell me the current situation of this battle, as well as your army’s battle plan, in detail.”

"it is good…"

Without hesitation, the soldier revealed the truth.

It turns out that the reason they were dressed so heavily was to guard against a kind of insect, a black insect the size of a fingernail.

Initially, the army of Donggoth ordered the Botswana people to migrate elsewhere, not for mining, but for logging... also to seize resources.

However, the Botswana people refused. They had lived in the Sawtooth Mountains for countless years, and these mountains were their home. They were furious when they heard that the army was going to carry out large-scale mining and destruction, and said they would not leave.

Then the conflict between the two sides erupted...

The total population of the Botswana tribe was less than five hundred... how could they possibly be a match for the King's army? Although they put up a tenacious resistance by taking advantage of the terrain and familiar environment and using very primitive fighting methods, most of them were still slaughtered within an hour.

Just when the army thought victory was assured, a turning point appeared... The Botswana people who had fallen on the battlefield, who should have died, suddenly rose again, mindless, merely corpses. But the power and speed they unleashed, including their aggression, were like those of ferocious beasts!

They're like two completely different creatures!

The Botswana people began a frantic counterattack against the bullets... Even with their bodies riddled with bullet holes, nothing could stop their actions.

Only when their flesh and blood are completely destroyed and completely disintegrated... do they seem to truly die.

But this alone is not enough to warrant the king mobilizing a large army.

After the corpses of these Botswana people are destroyed, a kind of worm will grow inside their bodies... If bitten by this worm, the soldiers will also become like zombies, and will start shooting or attacking their own people. Moreover, after death, the number of worms crawling out of the flesh will double and become even more.

So, as time went on... the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Those mysterious insects are very small and hard to spot. They can fly and are incredibly resilient. Smoke, fire, disinfection, and extermination are not very effective.

Moreover, their target is not only humans, but all living beings with flesh and blood... The Sawtooth Mountains are a natural environment with extremely rich wildlife.

Eventually, the army was no longer just fighting the Botswana people…

There are also countless wild animals, large and small.

"Housing, control, propagation, reproduction... four characteristics!"

Oboro and Hisoka exchanged a glance.

Hisoka snapped his fingers: "It's confirmed now, it wasn't a Nen user who did it... The spread and scope of this is something that ordinary Nen abilities could not achieve."

indeed.

If it's due to individual power... that's way beyond what's acceptable.

No quantity limit, no distance limit...

For Nen users who use manipulation techniques, one of the most obvious factors is distance.

You can control a massive number of toys or puppets, or an individual with extremely strong combat power... but if you control something too far away, it will most likely lose its 'link' to you.

Moreover, this isn't just one, but thousands, tens of thousands... or even more.

Besides, the mental and physical capacity of a single person or even a few people cannot withstand this kind of strain.

Workload.

"The king has issued a death order... to eradicate the Botswana people at all costs."

The soldier added hastily.

"So many people have died... He really doesn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all... and he's still thinking about acquiring resources? What trash..." Lance sneered.

Without waiting for Long's orders, he shot the man in the head.

"Kaki, Lance, you two stay here and protect them!"

Long believes that the key point right now is to find the parasite and catch a 'bug' first.

From where they stood, they could already vaguely see the endless black shadows rising from the ground under the starry night sky... that was the Sawtooth Mountains.

"Yes."

The two responded.

Venturing deep into the mountains is obviously too dangerous... It's safer for Dangri and his companions to stay here.

Immediately, Oboro and Hisoka both left a fleeting afterimage and disappeared.

A moment later, two black streaks of light appeared side by side on the flat ground.

Oboro and Hisoka moved at a terrifying speed, instantly passing through the town guarded by the army, stirring up a strong wind that made the air whistle. A group of soldiers were so frightened that they drew their guns and prepared to fight... but they couldn't see what it was at all.

Once the wind subsided, the view was completely empty; there was no sign of any living creature.

The soldiers were astonished by what they saw... and could only assume it was an illusion.

The scenery around them was constantly being pulled back and forth at high speed, like a revolving lantern.

"Since it's not a personal Nen ability, what are your thoughts?"

While running, Oboro asked Hisoka a question.

"It's definitely Nen... but not your average Nen ability. Judging from your expression, you seem to have a slight change in mind?"

Hisoka glanced at him.

"This kind of energy is not limited to humans..."

Long said something.

"of course."

Hisoka smiled in agreement.

"Furthermore... some ancient tribes might be involved with things far beyond the human world..."

Long had some guesses in her mind, but she wasn't very sure.

"That would be interesting..."

Hisoka's languid gaze sharpened.

His curiosity was also piqued.

……

In less than fifteen minutes, they entered another dense forest. Along the way, they saw many rotting soldiers' corpses and wild animals... in considerable numbers, with traces of the battlefield everywhere.
