Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

'Whatever, we can just kill them all together later.'

Dia thought casually:

'But for now, they can still be used as a decent tool...'

They may have really suffered a lot, and it was all the fault of this world. It was the cruelty of this world that fostered their extreme thoughts of destroying everything.

But Dia didn't care about any of that. He only knew that this world was suitable for him to live in, so he couldn't let it be destroyed.

It's not too late to reshape this cruel world after he becomes the ruler of this planet.

"Since you've already figured it out, there's nothing more I can hide from you."

A desperate resolve flashed in Melina's eyes, and her expression turned serious.

Since Dia has already reasoned this far, it's obviously impossible to exploit the information gap anymore!

We have to take a gamble and use a half-truth to fool them!

She looked at the quiet and still Dia in front of her as if she were looking at a lazy, yawning beast:

'Otherwise, with our current strength, we'd probably be wiped out by him alone tonight.'

"Our goal is to take revenge on the Kakin royal family!"

Melina said slowly:

“The orphans left over from each Maslenitsa festival are sent to an institution of the Aiyi family and given a number. The last two digits of the number indicate the year of the Kakin calendar in which she was sent.”

"And the most recently enrolled group of festival orphans has a number ending in 20, which means that the year after the Kakin democratization commemoration celebration, Maslenitsa took place once again, and the Kakin royal family has never changed..."

"In order to prevent such tragedies from happening again, the absurd behavior of the Kakin royal family must be punished, and the Carnival must be stopped."

"However, we do not intend to overthrow this country, so the scope of our retaliation will not extend to innocent members of the royal family, such as the twelfth prince..."

Melina understood that revealing her true plans in full would be tantamount to suicide.

At times like these, you must cater to Dia's preferences and say things he wants to hear!

'Since they are crime hunters, they are at least not purely evil; in other words, they neither belong to us nor stand with the Kakin royal family…'

'Using such a high-sounding reason will most likely sway the other party, or at least... it won't cause any resentment.'

In the animal kingdom, when the weak interact with the strong, they will deliberately expose their weaknesses in order to avoid provoking hostility.

For example, young dogs will expose their bellies to humans to reduce the likelihood of being attacked.

Melena's actions at this moment were no different from exposing her own belly; both were ways of revealing her own scars to gain sympathy and weaken hostility.

This is the most instinctive means of self-preservation for people who are used to being ruthlessly humiliated by society.

Merena and her companions were almost all experts in this area.

Dia pretended to be deep in thought, stroking her chin.

Silence fell in the room once again.

Everyone stared at Dia, feeling helpless and like fish waiting to be slaughtered.

The gap is too big.

So far, they haven't even managed to have all of them as Nen users.

Most people are stuck at level 0 of the "Love Practice Song" game, and there are even people who haven't been infected yet. That's because the "server" built by Melina as the "operator" is not perfect.

"Tell me what use you are."

"Dia asked."

Morina breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had passed the test.

The hunter before them was no longer an enemy—but their reliance!

'This way, if an invincible opponent appears in the plan, we can seek his help, but there will definitely be sacrifices and costs involved…'

Melina knew perfectly well that their role was essentially that of disposable, cheap sacrifices.

Only by ensuring their continued usefulness can they avoid being abandoned, have the opportunity to secretly develop and grow, and ultimately achieve the goal of destroying everything.

"All our value comes from my abilities."

Melina said:

"I am a [Special Ability], and my ability is called [Love March]. It is a comprehensive ability developed by combining all Nen ability systems."

Dia nodded, signaling her to continue.

"【Love Practice】can be transmitted to others by kissing 【Patient Zero】. After a successful infection, the person will be recorded as a 【Patient】 and will be at level 0. The current limit for Patients, including myself, is 10, and the limit can be increased in the future."

"When infected individuals kill, they can level up, increasing the total amount and power of their Qi. Once they reach level 20, they can automatically awaken their special abilities. Patients who reach level 100 can become Patient Zero and form their own infection group. In actual combat, killing an ordinary person increases their level by 1, killing an ability user increases their level by 10, and killing a prince increases their level by 50."

Melina truly deserves the title of "genius".

The ability that the other party developed independently is even comparable to Chrollo's "Thief's Secret" to some extent.

The difference lies in the fact that "The Thief's Ultimate" focuses on the strength of an individual's abilities, while "Love Etude" is a means of group enhancement.

The fact that you can level up simply by killing people is absolutely absurd.

If the Zoldyck family were to awaken this ability, wouldn't they grow stronger with each kill, and the stronger they grow, the more they would kill, stepping on each other's feet and heading straight for Netero?

Compared to Melena, Chrollo, who has such bonds with Meteor City and the Phantom Troupe, is not so resolute; he never even thought of destroying everything.

"Lady Dia, if you wish, I can infect you to become a patient of the [Love Practice Song]. With your strength, you will soon reach level 0 and become Patient Zero."

Melina pursed her lips and bowed, looking at Dia expectantly.

Dia waved her hand:

"No need. Even if you reach level 100, your abilities won't improve me much. Let's give this spot to someone else."

Upon hearing this, Melina nodded, not particularly disappointed.

This was exactly what she expected, since this world does indeed have "manipulation" ability users who can control others through kissing.

Given Dia's combat prowess, there's no way she would agree to that.

Having achieved her goal, Diya didn't waste any more time and stood up, saying:

"Then I'll be going now. Contact me if you need anything. In the meantime, Morina, could you do something for me?"

"Find out for me the cause of death of all the kings of Kakin."

Melina stood up and said respectfully:

"Yes."

After Dia left.

The atmosphere in the room finally relaxed.

A woman with short, highlighted hair let out a long sigh and said helplessly:

"How terrifying~ I haven't even leveled up yet, how did I end up facing someone like this~"

"There's no way around it. We're too peaceful with the other two families right now. We can't find any opportunities to kill people and level up. Killing civilians will attract the attention of the King's army, and killing commoners will attract the attention of the Second Prince."

A short man with a bob haircut and glasses shook his head and said regretfully.

Their actual professions weren't gangsters; they came from all walks of life, including lawyers, barbers, and athletes, and didn't possess any particular skills for killing.

It can be said that without Melina, even if they were given the ability to kill and level up, they would still be unable to rise to prominence.

After all, to awaken their abilities, they need to kill 20 ordinary people before they are captured.

Even disregarding Nen abilities, in peacetime, he would be a super-serial killer worthy of being remembered in history.

“Newderry is too peaceful. If it were in Lupo, killing people on the battlefield would be much easier…”

As the short man with glasses spoke, he suddenly noticed that his companion beside him was trembling slightly.

Thinking his companion was scared, the bespectacled man reached out and patted him, comforting him:

"Rubik, you're still such a coward. You've already awakened your abilities at level 24, but you're not even as good as me, a regular person who just joined recently. It's okay, it's okay..."

Ruby nodded, remaining silent.

The bespectacled man wasn't surprised, after all, this senior from Meteor City had always been timid and taciturn.

Everyone was tolerant of him.

After all, although everyone present had their own despair, they were all born in a modern country like Kakin.

In contrast, Ruby, having grown up as a resident of Meteor City without human rights, drifted all the way to Kakin, enduring much more hardship. It's understandable that he has such an eccentric personality.

"I...I need to use the restroom..."

Ruby's voice trembled as he whispered to Melena.

Melina looked at him and said gently:

"Rubik, haven't you changed your habits yet? You can decide what you want to do yourself, you don't need to report and get permission for everything."

"it is good……"

Ruby nodded hesitantly, then lowered her head and walked out of the room.

"Has Ruby always been like this?"

A tall, muscular man asked in a deep, booming voice.

The others who joined earlier chimed in, saying:

"Yes, he lacks his own opinions, but he's a very good person. Whenever someone shows him a little kindness, he always wants to do something to make up for it, and he really likes to agree with other people's opinions."

"It seems he couldn't stay in Meteor City and drifted here, but he's been trying to earn money to send back home all these years, as if he wants his former companions to acknowledge him."

"How pitiful. Such a person can't even live like a human being in this world. As expected..."

The crowd's voices deepened, and they said in unison:

"This cesspool-like world should be completely destroyed!"
