Set-Building Machine

Unfortunately, Ian didn't have the god Dora at his side. There were some gadgets he didn't recognize, and no one was there to explain what they did.

But that was all right. Ian had already considered this possibility.

After all, there were too many kinds of gadgets for him to know what every one of them could do.

But he had already solved that problem through rules established with [Contract and Restriction].

Inside Machi's little house, Machi's face lit up with curiosity when she saw the pink gadget suddenly appear in Ian's hand.

"Did you conjure another new gadget?"

As she spoke, Machi, her petite frame clad in thin clothes, leaned against Ian's shoulder. Her brows furrowed slightly as she stared intently at the gadget.

"Hmm... it looks complicated. Is it another useless combat gadget?"

In Machi's eyes right now,

[Multiplication Liquid] was the GOAT!

Being able to eat an endless supply of food was a power she had dreamed of possessing.

By comparison, the two combat gadgets Ian had drawn most recently weren't even worth a dog's attention.

"Bonk!"

Ian gently flicked her forehead, and Machi immediately clutched her head and obediently crouched down.

"Idiot, every gadget has its use. If you don't have enough strength to protect them, no matter how convenient their powers are, someone will take them away eventually!"

"Combat gadgets exist precisely to protect that peace of mind."

Machi's face flushed slightly at his words.

Having grown up in Meteor City, she naturally understood that too.

It was just that she had been enjoying the convenience of Ian's gadgets too much lately. The powers of the gadgets he had conjured were simply too rare.

So much so that she had begun to think, Using gadgets like these only for combat would be a terrible waste...

"I've been too complacent, but compared to my ability, Ian... your Nen Ability is just too powerful..."

Machi felt somewhat ashamed.

Even though she had become a Nen user herself, she understood the versatility of Ian's ability even better.

It was something she could only aspire to, but never attain.

"Don't worry. I'll always be by your side."

"My ability doesn't belong to me alone, does it? From now on, everyone will be able to enjoy the convenience this power brings."

Ian gave her a gentle smile and spoke softly.

For Ian, since he possessed enough power to change the world,

he wanted the world to become what he wished it to be.

The mafia, Hunters, the V5, nobles... if they were what made the world's development so sick, malformed and twisted, then they could simply disappear.

Machi's face flushed at Ian's words, but she said nothing and merely nodded gently.

"Next, let me see how to use this gadget..."

As Ian's voice faded, a pink sheet of paper suddenly appeared in his palm.

Nen Ability—[Gadget Instruction Manual]

An ability derived from an equivalent exchange rule established through [Contract and Restriction]. By consuming 50% of his own aura in one go, he could obtain instructions for using a four-dimensional gadget.

Only then did Ian learn the name of the gadget before him.

[Set-Building Machine]

In the world of the future, it was a gadget used mainly to create surrounding scenery when making movies. It could create objects out of thin air using imagination.

Its drawback was that the things it created were merely shells. To give an object substance, its thickness had to be continually increased, and solid material added through imagination.

After reading the instructions, Ian looked back at the pink camera, and his eyes lit up.

"This thing is a 4D spatial printer that can create things using nothing but imagination..."
