[King's Gaze of a Thousand Illusions] [King's Edict: Hundred Heroes Demonic Seal]
Wilson and Kannari Rin left.
The situation was urgent, and they needed to report it to V5's senior management immediately.
They didn't even have time to reach the airship.
Wilson couldn't wait any longer and nervously dialed his superior's number on his phone.
Netero watched them leave, his expression grave.
However, in the darkness, no one could see the complex joy hidden deep in his eyes.
He shook his head, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and said hoarsely.
"I never imagined I'd have the chance to meet such a person one day... as a challenger..."
He picked at his ear, then took out his cell phone from his large robe and dialed a number.
"Beep beep beep..."
The call connected, and a sweet, slightly puzzled voice answered.
"Hey, old man, I never thought you'd call me one day. What's up?"
"Hey! Don't drop the hammer yet! The bid here is 5 million Jenny!"
There was a lot of noise coming from the other end of the phone, but Netero had already guessed it and didn't care. He said in a deep voice.
"Biscuit, I need your abilities."
"Seven and a half million Jenny, Seven-Colored Diamond, are mine! Hey, old man, what did you say?"
In the Democratic Federation of the Congo, far away from here, at a seemingly magnificent auction, a blonde girl with pigtails raised her hand, her pretty face showing a look of surprise.
"You haven't been kidnapped, have you? If you're being threatened, just blink, and I promise I won't come to rescue you!"
The girl named Biscuit blinked and said in an annoyed tone.
"A terrifying monster is about to appear. Even I, an old man, have no confidence in my ability to fight it. This time... I must return to my most perfect state. As the challenger, I must go all out."
"I can't see any emotion in my eyes, "Netero.
On the other end of the phone, Biscuit sensed the seriousness in Netero's voice, her expression changed slightly, her brows furrowed, and she said earnestly...
"Teacher, what happened?"
If there are any people in this world who truly understand Netero's power...
His disciple Biscuit was definitely one of them.
Only she, who had also honed her physical body to its peak, could truly understand the astonishing power hidden within her teacher's gaunt body.
There aren't many things that can make Mr. Netero take things seriously...
However, once it happens, it will certainly not be a trivial matter!
Netero briefly recounted the incredible events that had occurred in the Gandor Ruins to Biscuit.
Biscuit's expression changed repeatedly after hearing Netero's words.
If it weren't for the fact that it was her teacher speaking on the other end of the phone, she probably would have thought someone was telling her a story...
After Netero finished speaking, Biscuit said in a deep and serious voice.
"I understand, teacher. I will get to Gugurian as soon as possible!"
After hanging up the phone.
Biscuit didn't care about the Seven-Colored Diamond she had just bought, even though this gem was a specialty of the Democratic Federation of the Congo.
But the old man's matter is still more important!
At the same time.
Located in the dark night sky of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
"Buzz..."
A strange flame was slowly burning, and the entire space was torn apart like a piece of burning paper, creating ripples.
"Finally... I'm back..."
A charred hand emerged first.
Then, a foot slowly stepped out, standing in the air, blowing in the night breeze.
Sashado raised his palm, as if touching the evening breeze.
A pair of dark eyes glanced downwards, overlooking the brightly lit city below, a slight smile appearing on his lips as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"The spark of civilization..."
"Let's go, it's time to announce my return."
He descended steadily, step by step, as if walking on an invisible, suspended staircase.
Behind him.
Within the [Netherworld Gate] that tore through Black Mud, pools of eerie Black Mud surged, carrying within them countless churning bone wings, ferocious dragon heads, and pale humanoid creatures.
Sashado remained unconcerned and continued walking downhill.
His arrival made the night even quieter, as if an eternal night had descended.
The overwhelming Malice, like a tsunami, transformed into a giant hand enveloping the entire city, slowly descending from the sky.
Biscuit, who had just stepped out of the auction house and was preparing to board the airship to Gugurian, suddenly changed her expression!
Her body hair stood on end, her instincts screaming warnings of danger.
"Whoosh!"
She instantly assumed a defensive stance, and a circle tens of meters wide instantly expanded. At the same time, her eyes sharply surveyed the surrounding darkness.
Where!?
Time ticked by, second by second.
No enemy made a move!
Biscuit's face was grim; she could clearly feel the tension in her body growing stronger. What did the enemy want to do?
Until she inadvertently looked up.
The blazing golden eyes, brimming with Nen, met the terrifying black energy that blotted out the sky and nearly swallowed the moon...
Her pupils shrank to pinpoints, her mouth gaped open uncontrollably, and she gasped in horror.
"What... what is this...?"
"The Great Dark Heavens!!"
"Sharku Manor, "Ian exclaimed in surprise.
"Um?"
As Aimina was demonstrating her abilities, she slowly raised her eyes, revealing a puzzled look. All around her was pitch black, as if she were enveloped in darkness, and countless scarlet eye-like patterns followed her and "stared" at Ian.
Soon, Ian sensed a strange fluctuation brewing.
An indescribable feeling...
It's as if a great danger will occur once those scarlet eye patterns close!
"Stop!"
"Tell me, what kind of ability is this!?"
Having personally experienced Aimina's power, Ian understood that her Nen was far stronger than his own!
Even a thousand years later, their strength has long since faded.
But right now, judging by sheer power, he's no less than Netero.
In terms of pure strength, Aimina is probably stronger than Netero. It's fortunate that he didn't intend to attack them at the time.
After finishing their dinner, a group of people gathered around to watch the spectacle.
Eluna, too, stood to the side, watching her sister's reaction with a faint smile on her face, as if she had already anticipated Ian's surprise.
Unlike Hunters who need to conceal all information about their Nen Abilities for fear of it being leaked.
Aimina and Eluna were already deceased.
If Ian hadn't been there, every two days they would have returned to the original timeline... and vanished as they were sealed away...
Moreover, their view of power is not like that of the Hunters.
This is because Aimina and the others follow the righteous path, having already established an unwavering belief in Nen when Sashado taught them to build their Nen Abilities from a young age.
"My ability is called [King's Gaze of a Thousand Illusions]. Its basic form's effects are illusion, manipulation, amplification, Intimidation, healing, and meditation."
Upon hearing Ian's question, Aimina calmly replied.
Ian frowned slightly but did not interrupt him.
He understood that the six major Nen Ability systems of today were not necessarily the same as the Nen Ability system of Aimina's era.
Therefore, it's normal that the ability classifications mentioned by the other party are rather disorganized.
"In its complete form, it can boost morale, enhance status effects, increase the Phantom Eye Seal, and distort space."
"As for the final form, it can grant the user a transformation effect, briefly transforming into the Phantom-Eyed God, influencing reality from the spiritual world."
Chrollo and the others around them listened in stunned silence.
Even Ian was somewhat surprised.
Putting aside the fact that he's overpowered, is it even possible for Nen Abilities to develop such comprehensive capabilities?
Trying to do things haphazardly, without any real direction, will only wear down a person's innate talent and potential. How can that possibly be effective?
He suppressed his doubts for the moment and glanced at Eluna beside him.
The other person understood what he meant.
He strode forward with his long, slender legs, casually snapped his fingers, stopped beside Aimina, steadied himself, and chuckled softly.
"My power [King's Edict: Hundred Heroes Seal]!"
With a snap of her fingers, countless thick, pitch-black Chains extended from the space around her.
As if it were consciously aware of its own existence, it formed straight lines that enveloped the entire space!
Everyone who saw it was shocked!
Ian thought to himself, "Finally, I have a good helper!"
Although the [Time Cloth] every two days is a bit tedious.
But getting two such powerful henchmen, teachers, and strategists in return is definitely worth it!
