Radiance of Glory, King of the Sleepless Night-Sashado!

Despite the other party's seemingly "righteous" demeanor.

So far, what has been said seems to have no flaws.

But.

Ian will never forget the strange ordeal that happened to Elina.

If it weren't for him, who forced the other side to reveal themselves by moving these "pillars" from this place, no one knows what would have happened to Elina.

The matter only involves him, Ian says he doesn't care!

At most, I'll write it down in my little notebook, for future revenge...

But!

He will never tolerate anyone who dares to harm a member of his team!

The girl, named Aimina, from the Gandor Dynasty, remained silent for a moment when Ian asked her a question.

Ian stared intently at the other person, pressing closer, and continued to ask in a deep voice.

Answer me, who is Eluna?

"Why is this related to Elina!?"

After a moment of silence, Aimina spoke, her tone quite complicated.

"Eluna... she... is my sister..."

Upon hearing this, Ian and Kim were both taken aback, their expressions freezing slightly.

"Younger sister!?"

Ian looked surprised and suspicious, while Kim wasn't particularly sensitive to this.

However, Ian lived in the era of information explosion in his previous life, so words like "possession" and "body snatching" naturally came to mind in an instant, and his face turned somewhat ugly.

What's on Elina's body?

"Could it be that your so-called sister... is possessing Elina's body?"

Seeing Ian's anxious expression, Aimina gently shook her head, revealing a composure beyond her years. Her voice was clear as she slowly spoke.

"There's no need to worry so much; those with magical items..."

"Everything was supposed to be done in secret, but since you've taken the pillar, and... Father... Sashado has also been driven away by you, there's no harm in telling you some secrets."

"We only hope that after hearing our story, you can help us to re-establish the seal..."

Seeing the other party's serious attitude, Ian calmed down a bit and said in a deep voice.

"Then tell me, I'll listen..."

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Aimina's dark eyes as she spoke softly.

"It all started when King Gondor IV, my father Sashado, ascended the throne..."

"His talent in Nen is unparalleled; oh, in your current terms, it's probably Nen Ability..."

"My father's strength is beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Ian and King frowned slightly upon hearing Sashado's name, while Aimina's eyes seemed somewhat dazed.

"If your understanding of Nen Ability manipulation is like using strings to pull a puppet, then Father's Nen control is directly rewriting the puppet's soul."

"Back in the Gandor Dynasty, there were many powerful individuals capable of constructing extraordinary defenses using Nen Abilities."

"But in front of my father, those defenses were as laughable as paper."

"He doesn't even need to get close; just a glance at the other person is enough to make their Nen betray its master. The Nen Ability shield that should protect him becomes a chokehold that severs the other's throat, and the Nen blade that should be aimed at the enemy turns around and pierces his own heart."

At this point...

Aimina's illusory figure swayed slightly, as if recalling a scene she didn't want to touch, and her voice deepened.

"You may have seen Nen Abilities that can control other people's actions, such as using sound waves, dust, or rings as a medium... But Father never needed any of those."

"His will is like an all-pervasive wind, capable of penetrating directly into a person's mind; it's not simple hypnosis, but rather the ability to alter cognition."

Hearing her words.

Ian frowned slightly, King looked horrified, and Netero looked very serious.

"Wait... the Sashado you're talking about, is it the same Sashado we met?"

Ian interrupted the other person helplessly.

Just listening to Aimina's words, he felt that the fact that he, Jin, and the others were still alive and well was already a blessing from God.

Is the other person using even more cheat codes than him?

Hearing Ian's words, Aimina glanced at him.

Her pretty face puffed out, losing its previous old-fashioned air and gaining a touch of girlishness, as if her admired father had been slandered, and she couldn't help but speak in a crisp voice.

"He's been dead for so many years, do you think resurrection comes without a price?"

"Moreover, these are merely abilities that Father can grasp instantly. His truly terrifying power lies in his mental control. Weight, size, and distance—these are constraints in the eyes of mortals—cannot restrain him at all."

She glanced at the surrounding stone pillars and couldn't help but purse her lips.

"How do you think these nearly 100-meter-tall Xie Tool were made...?"

"Most of them were made by my father, who extracted the essence from the mines and then sculpted them in one go..."

"This is not a difficult task for him."

Jin turned his head to look at the huge, Black Pillars that were a full sixty meters tall, and frowned.

"No... impossible. Even if Nen is incredibly powerful, it's impossible for a human to achieve this level..."

"In fact, what you're describing goes completely beyond the realm of humanity..."

Aimina glanced at him and sighed helplessly.

"My father was no ordinary man..."

Upon hearing this, Jin's expression froze.

Aimina lowered her eyes and continued.

"Father... he was the 'Heavenly God' of the Gandor Dynasty at that time, Born King, and the Radiance of Glory own; his power was as dazzling as the sun."

"Although I don't know how many people with special abilities you have in this era."

"But during my father's reign, there were approximately 460,000 Nen users throughout the Gandor Kingdom..."

"Not one dared to challenge the father's authority..."

"You must not let Sashado leave you with a stereotypical impression... He... is nothing more than a remnant corrupted by Dark Creations..."

Hearing her words.

Ian and King looked at each other in bewilderment.

Indeed...

They couldn't reconcile the image of the sun-like, majestic king that Aimina spoke of with the image of a monster that resembled a dried-up corpse.

Even if... the opponent is equally strong.

Aimina shook her head and said calmly.

"My father's ability is [330,000-Part Requiem Offering Ritual]. Theoretically speaking, the more followers he has, and the stronger their faith in him, the greater his power becomes..."

Upon hearing this, Ian, King, and Netero seemed thoughtful.

Only then did they finally learn a little information about Sashado, but at this point, they still had no concept of this ability...

Aimina continued.

At that time, the Gandor Dynasty was the most powerful kingdom.

"When facing troops from other countries, my father would always be at the forefront. Under his powerful willpower, he would tear apart mountains and drain rivers. With the support of numerous followers, his strength was beyond the imagination of ordinary people..."

"The Toulouse Kingdom in the north of the dynasty once proclaimed the slogan 'Use the mountains as a shield to wear down Gondor' when my father first ascended the throne, but... my father himself came!"

Aimina's body trembled slightly, as if she had thought of something, and she said in a complicated tone.

"It is said that... the sound of a landslide was heard throughout the entire border region. The Northern Border Mountain Range, stretching for hundreds of miles, was torn open by my father's Nen, creating a gap a hundred feet wide. From there, the Gandor Dynasty attacked, and the Toulouse Kingdom was destroyed..."

Upon hearing Aimina's account, Ian, King, Netero, and the others gasped, their scalps tingling.

Let alone the fact that King Netero couldn't imagine the strength of Nen user possessing such power...

Even Ian, who is "very knowledgeable," was somewhat at a loss...

Compared to the other person's, my [Superpower Hat] really does seem like a toy...

But.

How could Sashado, with such terrifying strength, possibly lose?

Aimina, unaware of what Ian and the others were thinking, continued speaking to herself.

"Before the Dark Creations landed, the islands on the southern coast of the dynasty were inhabited by sea monsters that could devour warships, destroying dozens of Gondor merchant ships every year."

"Upon learning of this, my father went there alone."

"According to the ship's attendants, Father simply stood at the bow, staring at that rocky island for a long time. Then, with a flick of his finger, the rocky island, larger than the royal palace, rose into the sky like a plucked radish, along with the tangled seaweed beneath and a multitude of sea monsters hiding at its bottom."

"The father's thoughts carried it across the sea and over the towns."

"Finally... it was thrown into the Gobi Desert in the western part of the dynasty. All the people of the dynasty who witnessed that island that flew in along the way witnessed the father's divine power. No one dared to rebel or disobey the emperor, and no one dared to deny the father's strength..."

"That period was a golden age for the Gandor Dynasty..."

"It's a pity... if only it could have ended here."

"My father will undoubtedly go down in history; he will be the greatest King..."

A hint of regret flashed in Aimina's eyes.

Ian looked grave, and cold sweat beaded on Kim's forehead; the pressure had increased dramatically.

Even he hadn't expected that the king in the Gandor Ruins would be such a powerful monster...

As for Netero...

They were somewhat relieved that none of the Hunters present could understand what the other party was saying; otherwise, countless people might have lost their will to fight.

If the Exorcism Team reports this information to higher authorities.

Even V5, once they find out, they probably won't be able to sit still...

"If Sashado so strong, why did he become like this?"

Ian hesitated for a moment, then decided to believe him for the time being and asked.

Aimina lowered her eyes, her expression somewhat somber.

"It's because of... the Dark Creations..."

"They come from afar across the sea... monsters that humans cannot withstand..."

At the same time.

It is located in a hot and dry space.

A mummified corpse, walking unsteadily, was here; it was Sashado.

Behind him.

Countless jet-black liquids, carrying a large number of hideous, pale-skinned monsters, followed closely in his footsteps.

The [Netherworld Gate], opened by consuming thousands of souls, was no ordinary place. It transported him to a real world, like Purgatory, filled with hideous red-skinned monsters.

"Hiss--"

A winged, red-skinned monster roared and swooped down.

"Laugh!"

Sashado remained expressionless, raising his withered, charred arm as it approached.

The next moment.

The creature, which was about four or five meters long and resembled Pterosaurs, suddenly froze, and a heart the size of a head burst out of its chest.

The body and blood were scattered on the ground.

Sashado lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and sat down on the ground without any hesitation. Countless black liquids surrounded him within a ten-meter radius, and the hideous monsters all crawled on the ground.

He ripped off the Pterosaurs monster's wing, sucked its hot, scalding blood, and then discarded it aside.

After resting for a while, he stood up and murmured to himself.

"To be alive... this is what it means to be alive. Even if it's just barely surviving, I, the King, will definitely bring you back..."
