At the Sharku Manor.

Ian walked out with a mischievous smile on his lips, his hands behind his back, and looked at Milluki.

"Milluki, now you know how powerful those Toy Soldiers are, right?"

"Brother Ian... please take them away quickly! I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"

Seeing that Milluki had already experienced the power of the [Toy Soldier Corps], Ian nodded, snapped his fingers, and gave the [Toy Soldier Corps] a serious command.

"Cease fire! Now line up and await my instructions!"

"Order received: Cease attack!"

One of the red Toy Soldiers, wearing a top black hat and clearly a commander, brandished his soldier's knife and shouted at the troops.

"Hi!"

The next moment, the group of soldiers in red uniforms put away the bayonets that were stabbing Milluki in the buttocks, and then lined up with their captain and stood still.

Ian ignored them for the time being.

He walked to Milluki's side.

The other party wasn't injured; his order was merely to teach him a small lesson.

However, Milluki was, after all, a child of the Zoldyck Family clan. In the hands of these little Toy Soldiers, he had no chance to resist at all, as if he were being bullied and beaten by thugs.

This shows that the power of Toy Soldiers should not be underestimated.

[Toy Soldier Corps] are defensive items with a certain degree of autonomy. They will attack any target that poses a threat to their owner, based on the owner's commands.

It looks like a red plastic soldier toy, but it has outstanding attack capabilities. After receiving a command, it will continue to attack until the enemy is completely incapable of threatening it.

These little toys, for Ian, are like another kind of [Trip Expert].

After all, using [Trip Expert] requires knowing the enemy's name and inserting a coin, making it relatively cumbersome to operate and suitable for dealing with single enemies.

However, [Toy Soldier Corps] is different.

These little guys may look small, but the guns and cannons they wield are almost as powerful as real ones. More importantly, they possess a certain degree of autonomy.

Once Ian gives the order, there's no need to pay any attention to it.

They would act like soldiers following orders, continuing until Ian's command was fulfilled, making them a decent little helper.

In particular, he is currently without Netero's Nen Ability, and his strength is declining like an elevator ride, with huge fluctuations, making him feel very insecure. He has no choice but to quickly acquire some gadgets to protect himself.

Ian still understands the essence of the art of survival very well.

And...

Most importantly, the [Toy Soldier Corps] right now still have a great use!

Ian won the [Copying Mirror] a few days ago, which is a model of an excellent item even in the Doraemon World!

The [Copying Mirror] is a Mirror with a switch button at the bottom. Once the Mirror is turned on, anything you shine into the Mirror will be copied, even people. However, the copied items will be reversed.

Furthermore, there is a space inside the Mirror; if you accidentally fall in, you will be trapped.

Certainly.

Ian knew that this Mirror needed to be used with great care.

After all, if you're not careful and accidentally create a version of yourself that's the opposite of your own personality, who knows what kind of damage that would cause to the world.

"Whoosh!"

With a simple gesture, Ian produced the [Copying Mirror] in his hand.

Place it on the grass, turn on the switch, and then Ian gives the Toy Soldier Corps orders.

"Now stand in front of that Mirror!"

The Toy Soldier Corps immediately obeyed the order, carrying their swords and guns, and marched in orderly steps to the Copying Mirror.

The Mirror trembled slightly.

At this moment, Milluki, who had stopped crying, peeked over and looked this way, his eyes lighting up with curiosity.

"Brother Ian, what are you doing?"

Ian glanced at him and said with a slight smirk.

"Create my legion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, about seven or eight red Toy Soldiers were replicated in the Mirror and then walked out of the Mirror.

Upon seeing this, Milluki opened his mouth wide in shock and pointed at the Mirror, his voice trembling.

"Big brother, the Mirror... a person is walking out of the Mirror!"

Ian patted him on the shoulder with a smile, indicating that he could rest assured.

"Don't worry, this is just the function of this Mirror. If you have something you particularly cherish and feel that one isn't enough, and want more, you can give it to me! I can conjure up another one for you!"

Then, he pointed to the Toy Soldiers that had just been copied and gave the order.

"Gather around me!"

"Yes!"

After saying that, led by the Toy Soldiers commander, they quickly walked to the original Toy Soldier Corps and gathered together, a total of fourteen.

The only difference is that the gun is now positioned on the left shoulder instead of the right.

As long as you follow orders, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Ian felt that the combination of the [Copying Mirror] and the [Toy Soldier Corps] had potential. Although limited by the Mirror, it could only copy a maximum of about seven soldiers at a time, but the speed was fast...

It only takes about 10 seconds to duplicate seven soldiers.

So.

If it runs continuously for a day, it can replicate approximately 60,000 soldiers!

At that time, he will truly be able to command an entire army all by himself!

Most importantly, once the Toy Soldiers are released, they consume almost no Nen, which is somewhat similar to the [Invincible Turret].

Moreover, most of the time, they can be kept in 4D Pocket.

Once engaged in combat, they can be summoned instantly, without hindering the battle in the slightest!

With the double protection of the [Invincible Turret] and the [Toy Soldier Corps], unless he encounters an enemy with extremely special Nen Abilities, ordinary enemies simply cannot get close to him.

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but feel excited and immediately began preparations to get started.

However, at this moment, Milluki, who was standing to the side, had a thought after hearing what Ian had just said. He hesitated, but when he saw Ian get up to leave, he quickly said something.

"Um... Brother Ian, is what you just said true?"

Ian replied.

"Of course it's true!"

"Milluki, is there anything you particularly want extra? Tell me, and I promise I'll conjure up another one for you!"

Upon hearing this, Milluki innocently spoke up.

"Um... big brother, I want... I want another mom, is that possible?!"

Upon hearing this, Ian's lips twitched, and looking at Milluki's innocent expression, he couldn't help but cover his face.

You're such a filial son, aren't you afraid your old man will turn against me...?

However, when he noticed the seriousness in Milluki's eyes and the tears he was trying to hide, he paused for a moment, then placed his hand on the other's head and said gently.

"If it absolutely has to be done this way, then of course it can be done..."

"But Milluki, what is your purpose in wanting another mother?"

Milluki felt the warmth in Ian's palm, his body trembled, then relaxed, his eyes lowered, and he said somewhat timidly.

"If I had another mom, maybe she'd have more time to spend with me..."

Ian's eyes held a knowing look.

He understood that, given their Zoldyck Family lineage, whether it was Illumi or Milluki, their personality issues were not simply due to family factors.

Abnormal parents inevitably create abnormal children.

In comparison, Killua received a lot of attention from his parents from a young age, so he managed to avoid going astray.

As for Alluka and Kalluto, they were both boys, yet they were raised in that way. It's hard to say that it wasn't the fault of their "abnormal mother."

"Milluki, remember... if you want someone's approval, never beg for it!"

"The most important thing for a person is to accept everything about themselves, accept their imperfections, and bravely say to the world, 'I am who I am, unique and irreplaceable!'"

"In this world, without 'yourself,' everything is meaningless, understand?"

Milluki was a little stunned by Ian's words and said embarrassedly.

"Um... Brother Ian, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."

Ian said with a smile.

"It's okay, you don't need to understand now, you'll understand later!"

"As for what you said about wanting to become another mother, I can't help you with that for now. I'm afraid your father will turn against me..."

Ian stated it very bluntly.

Milluki shrank back, but Ian then added.

"However, I do have a way to get your mother's attention, but it will all be fake. Are you willing to accept that?"

Upon hearing Ian's words, Milluki's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Of course I would!"

After all, even Illumi brother, had never received serious treatment from their mother!

Ian's lips curled into a smile, and he thought to himself.

Milluki, you've never seen how prejudice in people's hearts can be as high as a mountain...
