Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

It can be said that, relying on the ancient artifact, the Egg in the Pot, the Kakin royal family has mastered the art of the Nen Beast system.

When faced with a super disaster that cannot be dealt with.

With the King holding the [Egg in the Pot], he can even unleash hundreds of powerful spirit beasts with different abilities and forms in one go!

Although Naspi never used the "Command" to control the Lake Spirits, based on common sense and experience, the distance should not exceed 15 meters.

'But the egg in the pot is now at most seven meters away from me. Could the artifact have been stolen or damaged?'

In a very short time, Nasby considered a whole host of possibilities.

His gaze swept rapidly across the room.

There was no trace or fragment of the artifact, and the kid opposite him had nowhere to hide it.

'When I came down, the artifact was still functioning properly; the fact that it blocked the Nen beast that Sherlock and Saqiu's father used to attack is proof of that. And during my entry into the treasury, aside from a few identical corpses that flew out, I didn't see anyone leave.'

'Therefore, the artifact most likely hasn't left this room and should still be in cabinet number four...'

Nasby couldn't help but glance in the direction of cabinet number four.

He knew that in this situation, observing the location of the artifact in front of the enemy would be tantamount to telling them that the [Egg in the Pot] was right there!

This is something only someone who's lost their mind would do under any circumstances.

But Nasby had no other choice at that point.

If the whereabouts of the "Egg in the Pot" are not confirmed quickly, Naspi has no certainty of stopping or resisting Dia, whether she is preparing to escape or fight.

Nasby looked toward cabinet number 4 and saw that apart from a corpse lying on the ground, there seemed to be nothing unusual there.

'Aside from that corpse, no one should have approached cabinet number four...'

Nasby only saw a corpse dressed in a black suit lying in front of the cabinet. Everything on the cabinet was in perfect condition, without any signs of being disturbed.

'That's not right, the artifact should still be there, it can't be that corpse...'

Corpse?

Naspi's expression suddenly changed as he looked at the "corpse" on the ground.

Under his gaze, the skin on the corpse slowly began to peel off, gradually revealing the dark brown interior!

'This...this isn't human!'

They're puppets!

Naspi's eyes instantly turned red, a surge of hot blood rushed to his brain, and his aura became incredibly terrifying!

He didn't even pay attention to Dia. His powerful spiritual energy surged into his legs, and with a contraction of his muscles, he leaped up and landed right next to the cabinet!

boom!

Nas kicked out like he was kicking a soccer ball, and the violent force exploded on the puppet, instantly turning it into a pile of fragments!

Kicking away the annoying puppet, Nasby quickly bent down to look at the hidden compartment in the cabinet—

Empty.

The magical artifact has vanished!

Naspi's suspicions were confirmed, and he instantly flew into a rage, letting out a terrifying, ferocious roar like that of a wild beast:

"Who! Who stole my divine artifact! My [Egg in a Pot]!!"

Diya, who had been observing coldly from the sidelines, was taken aback.

The egg in the pot has been stolen?

He glanced at the Kuroro puppet that Naspi had kicked to pieces, frowned, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked thoughtfully toward the passageway leading out of the treasury...

--------------

'After my heart stopped beating, the [Mourning Fellowship] ability activated automatically, reviving me from the brink of death. It seems its judgment of fatal injuries is either cardiac arrest or brain death...'

Holding the "Thief's Ultimate" weapon, Kuroro dashed upstairs like a ghost.

He remembered some shortcuts and secret passages he had taken on his way down, and with the help of [Instant Teleportation], he skipped over doors that couldn't be opened and traps that were stuck. Now, his ascent was much faster than when he came down!

'Fortunately, the king appeared in time, drawing Dia's attention away from me, a man destined to die. Their standoff gave me the opportunity to use the [Treasure Bag] to steal the [Egg in the Pot], and then I used [Teleport] to swap places with the puppet that had fallen outside the treasury…'

Kuroro felt a lingering fear when he thought back to his risky actions.

Although [Mudman] could exist indefinitely thanks to the Death Wish effect of [Paired Destroyers], he had to deactivate the [Transfer Student] ability in order to activate the effects of [Teleport] and [Flip the Bag] simultaneously.

The difference between the clay puppet and his original appearance is enormous. If he hadn't been lying down at the time, the change in his face alone would have been striking enough!

To know,

If anyone had discovered he was still alive, the "Memorial Meeting" wouldn't have been able to be held a second time!

However, as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold!

Kuroro's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at the cuff of his right sleeve.

A faint white light was emanating from it.

This is the [Treasure Bag] at work; the golden artifact [Egg in a Pot] is inside his sleeve.

hum...

It sounded as if a very faint voice was coming from behind.

Suddenly, a chill crept up from behind Kuroro, instantly filling him with a sense of crisis!

'Did they find it? They should catch up soon...'

Kuroro's gaze sharpened. As the master of the Sky Arena and a true combat expert, he was fully capable of anticipating crises before they occurred.

Especially this kind of sudden sixth sense, although it may not happen every time, once it does, it is almost always accurate.

Naspi and Dia have most likely discovered that he stole the artifact and are now chasing after him!

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace, taking two steps at a time, and crossed a floor.

Just then, the cooldown of [Teleport] ended!

Swish!

Kuroro's figure vanished in mid-air in an instant, leaving only the empty staircase, where the sound of his footsteps still echoed faintly...

The building has fifty floors.

The place has long since become a mess.

Various pits and craters, along with remnants of ice and black stains from flames, covered the entire floor, making it a complete mess.

Kuroro's figure darted out from the stairwell.

His gaze lingered on the remaining ice shards for a moment, then quickly shifted away, finally landing on a strange ice sculpture in the corner of the room.

The ice sculpture was incredibly lifelike, bearing a striking resemblance to Feitan. It stood upright, holding a rapier in one hand, which had pierced through its own left chest, its gaze as calm as if it were asleep.

Without a doubt, this ice sculpture is Feitan with the ability to initiate suicide.

Kuroro paused slightly, walked to the ice sculpture, and remained silent for a long while, thinking:

'You were so impatient in life, but you've become calmer since you're dead.'

The ice sculpture Feitan remained motionless, its gaze calm.

Kuroro felt a pang of sadness for only a moment before regaining his composure.

After all, he's still being hunted down and doesn't have time to mourn his comrades.

His gaze swept over Feitan's back.

There was a blank space there, and an air conditioner outdoor unit was sitting there perfectly fine, not frozen.

'This must be it, the exit of the secret realm.'

Kuroro knew that this was the last message Feitan left him before he died...

pat.

Suddenly, a footstep sounded unexpectedly from behind Kuroro!

Kuroro felt a chill run down his spine and turned around abruptly.

What came into view was Rupert, shivering and cowering!

He clutched a piece of parchment in his hand, his voice trembling, his gaze vacant, and asked:

"Kukuroro, you, you're back... Where's Sister Melena?"

Why did it take him so long to notice when he got so close?

Kuroro stared at Ruby in astonishment, the thought flashing through his mind.

Moreover, why does Ruby, a Nen user, shiver at such a low temperature?

But the next moment, these doubts mysteriously vanished on their own, replaced by a warm and strange feeling, like meeting an old friend in a foreign land...

At the same time, Kuroro felt an increasing sense of urgency, as if Dia and Naspi would appear in front of them at any moment!

Without a doubt, those two are extremely close to this place!

'So fast...'

Kuroro felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't have time to think about Ruby's matter. He subconsciously shook his head and made a gesture to indicate that she was dead.

Immediately, Kuroro turned around decisively, tore open the casing of the air conditioner's outdoor unit, revealing a deep, dark hole.

Kuroro took a deep breath, his gaze hardening.

Sure enough, this is the exit.

Kuroro turned and gestured to Ruby:

Follow me, let's go!

Having said that, he took the lead and plunged into the large hole...

In a suburban area, a torrential downpour was taking place.

A wide area a few hundred meters away from the entrance to the secret realm.

Kuroro's figure suddenly fell from mid-air, followed by Ruby's figure.
