Creating gods in the Hunter x Hunter world

"Didn't we agree that we wouldn't use the anti-aircraft box, and you wouldn't be allowed to fly above 20 meters? How come I charged into the formation, but you flew to a height of 30 meters? What are you doing? Do you know that's a foul?"

The Grand Elder was speechless for a moment. Was there some mistake?

"I fouled, and your people were jumping around outside, saying things like 'bald head,' what do you mean by that?"

Fu Long shrugged indifferently: "What we mean doesn't matter, but we didn't commit any fouls."

The elder was taken aback. What he said was indeed true. No matter what, they hadn't broken any rules. Jumping around outside was not within the rules.

As long as they don't enter the formation from the air, Fu Long and his team did nothing wrong.

They did nothing wrong; the problem lies with the Grand Elder.

When Fu Long and Gong Zhuang entered the formation, why did you fly to a height of thirty meters? What were you doing there? Shouldn't you have waited for us at twenty meters?

The elder thought for a moment and said, "Because outside..."

"What does the outside have to do with you? We're here to break the formation, not to concern ourselves with what's outside. What do you mean by breaking the rules when we enter the formation?"

The Grand Elder wanted to say it didn't count, but saying it didn't count now was pointless.

During this process, no one noticed that Fu Long would occasionally pat some of the Soul-Eating Birds on the shoulder.

And he was saying a few words in a low voice.

No one noticed that the Grand Elder was preoccupied with how to defend himself in this matter.

Seeing all this, the Soul-Devouring Bird King in the distance had no choice but to fly over.

After understanding the situation, he said, "This is indeed the Elder's fault. No matter how big the commotion is outside, it is not a reason for you to fly high."

The Grand Elder was furious.

"However, it would be unfair to let you pass through like this."

The elder's eyes lit up. The Bird King was right. If you could pass the test this way, it would indeed be unfair.

"You can make a request that we can fulfill before we break the formation, how about that?" After thinking for a moment, the Soul-Devouring Bird King had no choice but to compromise.

You can make a request to cancel the Grand Elder's actions, and then you can continue breaking the formation without delaying either.

Fu Long's lips curled into a smile as he said, "Of course, I have only one request: the formation cannot be activated for the first ten seconds before we enter. Elders, you can only defend. After ten seconds, you can fight freely."

The Soul-Devouring Bird King looked at the Grand Elder, who pondered for a second before saying, "Ten seconds is too long. You can do a lot in that time. I can only agree to five seconds."

"Deal." Fu Long smiled.

Paliston and King behind him both shook their heads.

Humans have a unique advantage when it comes to bargaining.

What we originally wanted was five seconds. Saying it was ten seconds was just to give you a chance to negotiate the price. You think you've made a profit, but actually, we've achieved our goal.

Five seconds is enough.

Soon, Fu Long and his men withdrew from the formation.

The Soul-Eating Bird King left again to watch the battle from a distance.

Her guard, however, seemed puzzled and asked, "They've been making a scene for so long, just to gain five seconds?"

"Believe me, the Grand Elder simply cannot handle this in just five seconds."

The Soul-Devouring Bird King had clearly sensed something.

Although there are no conspiracies or tricks on the Dark Continent, that doesn't mean she's stupid.

At least she could guess that Fu Long and his group would definitely do a lot of things in five seconds.

This time, Fu Long led his entire group into battle.

Once inside the formation, Fu Long was placed under protection.

Wearing a kasaya, Fu Long was protected in the very center, with everyone revolving around him.

Five seconds is not a long time. Gong Zhuang began to play the zither at the end. The sound of the zither dispersed the impact of the first wave of the formation. Sa Chang also fully opened up his spiritual power.

With the addition of the seductive illusory tail, the first three seconds can be held off.

Once the formation was activated, the tight rein on Fu Long's side began.

In the sky, fifteen or sixteen Soul-Eating Birds cried out and fell to the ground, clutching their heads.

The formation was broken in a second, giving them no chance at all.

Potobby and his men acted quickly, rushing forward and beating the fallen guys black and blue with just a few punches, making it impossible for them to fight again.

"You cheated! Did you plan this in advance?"

"Hey, you can't just say things like that. We had an extra five seconds. We used that time to devise this method. How about that? It's pretty simple, isn't it?"

Jin's words left the Grand Elder speechless.

Five seconds to set up? Nobody would believe that. You guys can set up something this perfect in five seconds?

Those were more than a dozen Soul-Devouring Birds, not just one or two, which you took down in five seconds.

Anyway, the Grand Elder doesn't believe it, but what can you do if he doesn't believe it? You can't say anything else. He said it was a five-second setup, and it was five seconds. You have no evidence.

Then the Soul-Eating Bird King returned and announced the results: the human group had won and could continue forward into the Lightning Zone.

The Grand Elder was not convinced, but in the end he was glared at by the Soul-Devouring Bird King.

"You're not convinced? Have you considered that if a real fight broke out, your men would already be lying dead everywhere? At that point, who can you complain to? Remember, no matter how the other side won, one thing must be clear: they won by exploiting your weaknesses."

Weakness? The Grand Elder scratched his head. My weakness, is it my baldness?

Where can this guy go to seek justice?

Chapter 586 Minefield

In any case, everyone managed to get through the ordeal and leave the territory of the Soul-Eating Bird, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is really troublesome. These are just the ten elders. If it were the Soul-Devouring Bird King, I wonder what other tricks he might have up his sleeve."

Jin thought for a moment and said, "Even if they have the means, they can't use them. Don't forget, the anti-aircraft box is indeed their nemesis. Otherwise, they wouldn't choose such a challenge just to seal off the anti-aircraft box."

Fu Long nodded in agreement. If the anti-aircraft box were open, all these challenges would be meaningless. The Soul-Eating Bird that landed would indeed be much weaker in combat.

“Alright, the lightning zone is just ahead,” Qiduo said, pointing forward.

Lightning flashed faintly ahead, revealing a vast space where lightning occasionally struck.

Along with these streaks of lightning was an aura of death; it was unknown whether there were any living beings here, as I had never heard of them.

However, even if it does exist, it probably doesn't possess much wisdom, so we should still be careful.

Walking forward, we soon arrived at the edge of the lightning zone.

"To survive in the lightning zone, we either need to use lightning stones to shield everyone, or find something else to avoid lightning. But it seems we don't have any of those right now."

As Paliston spoke, he glanced at Fu Long and Jin.

“No need to test me anymore, the Thunder Stone is indeed in my hands.” Fu Long took out the Thunder Stone and said with a smile, “Didn’t you guess wrong at the beginning?”

“Indeed, at that time, we felt that you didn’t necessarily have to come to this Dark Continent, so we thought that Lei Shi would be in Jin’s hands. Alas, this time our guess was far off.”

“That’s true. Back then, there was no need to stay on the Dark Continent. Going back would have been fine. But now, I’m really curious to know what’s hidden on the World Tree?”

As he entered the minefield, Fu Long felt that the thing on the World Tree that was attracting him was becoming clearer and clearer.

This feeling made him realize that no matter what, he had to make the trip.

“I don’t care. Anyway, no one else can come. I’ll just go with you.” Paliston shrugged. What else could he say?

Fu Long smiled and stroked the thunderstone with his hand. Soon, lines appeared on the thunderstone.

These patterns continued to spread, eventually enveloping everyone inside.

Soon, the same patterns as those on the thunderstone appeared on everyone's foreheads.

"Alright, the protection of the lightning stone has been activated. Seven days is enough time for us to live in it. Be careful, and if you feel that time is running out, you must get out as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will have to find a way to avoid the lightning."

Everyone looked at Potobá.

"Why are you looking at me?" Potobby asked, puzzled.

It's the tallest, the strongest, and has two horns pointing towards the sky—it's a natural lightning rod! I'm most worried about you.

However, there are at least seven days left.

“Let’s go, our goals are different.” Fu Long walked forward.

Jin followed Fu Long, while Qi Duo and the others squinted and thought for a moment before quickly following after him.

Once you enter the minefield, the feeling is completely different. The dark clouds in the sky are very low, and lightning flashes from time to time, carrying a dangerous atmosphere.

A bolt of lightning struck, and the lightning talisman lit up, causing the lightning to deflect and strike the other side.

This is a minefield.

A huge complex of buildings appeared ahead, resembling a royal palace.

“It is said that divine thunder was originally a weapon in the hands of the Thunder God Emperor, so this area should be considered the Thunder God Palace, right?” Paliston said.

Jin nodded and said, "The divine thunder is in the central palace; that's your target."

"Are you going somewhere else?" Qi Duo looked at Fu Long and Jin with some anxiety.

Fu Long nodded. The place they were going to was a secluded palace, one of the three great trial halls of the entire Dark Continent. Fu Long had already obtained the previous two, and this was the only one left.

Once you obtain proof of the three palaces, you can enter the thicket beneath the World Tree.

The tree spirits live in that jungle; only by going there can one enter the World Tree's territory.

Therefore, for Jin and Fulong, that side is the most important.

"I see. Then be careful," Qi Duo said helplessly.

Fu Long just smiled and led his team, along with Jin, towards the other side.

“Wait for me.” Paliston caught up from behind.

"You're coming with us? Aren't you going to look for hope anymore?" Fu Long was speechless. Paliston, why are you getting involved?

However, Paliston simply smiled and said, "I hope the twelve zodiac signs will search for it; there won't be any problems. It's more interesting to follow you."
