I Want

The Tree God's words have indicated that there exists on this land the ability to transcend the limitations of time and space.

All Oboro could think of was... Nanika inside Alluka's body.

One of the five major disasters.

First, with his current strength, he can fulfill almost all the prerequisites for making a wish, whether it's some form of self-harm or suicide. Also, Nanika of the Zoldyck Family is still just a juvenile; therefore, there must exist mature beings on this land who release even more powerful forces of Nanika.

You can't travel to other worlds on your own...

We must provide assistance.

"There's another point. Based on my own experience of transmigrating, the only thing that can break through the barrier is the soul. Moreover, there are differences between the two worlds. When traveling from a higher-level world to a lower-level world, the barrier is weaker, making it easier for the soul to traverse. However... if it's traversing to an even higher-level space, the pressure the soul has to withstand and the success rate of the traversal may be greatly reduced." Long analyzed carefully while opening the system panel.

The system popped up a garbled interface, which was performing intelligent calculations based on his thoughts.

Like a fishing net, he was a fish that slipped through the net in the river. If he went to a world with a stronger power system, the holes in the net would be extremely small. Even if his soul could eventually pass through the net to the other side, the integrity of his soul would be limited. If he went to a lower-level world, the holes in the net would be larger, making it easier to break through.

"I already have the experience of time travel in this life... If I were to time travel again, the best way would be to go to a lower-level world first to verify the possibility of breaking through the space-time barrier. Otherwise... I would most likely fail and disappear completely in the torrent of space-time dimensions. In addition, I need to preserve my ability to continue time travel. If it is a lower-level world, my growth space is not large, and I will not stay for too long. I also need to ensure that one day I can return to the world of Hunter x Hunter."

"Therefore, this first world I've traveled to is extremely important... First, to test the feasibility of soul travel; second... as the Tree God said, to allow me to better understand the true nature of 'Supreme Will'; and third, that world also needs to possess rich experimental attributes."

"I hope it works out..."

He murmured to himself.

A moment later, the system generated lines of small text.

"The soul loses weight?"

Long frowned.

According to the system analysis, Oboro is like a fish. The smaller the fish, the greater the chance of it passing through the 'net'.

In this way...

"To sacrifice a portion of my own soul... to increase the success rate." Oboro instantly understood.

This means losing a portion of one's power; however, this can be mitigated by redistributing and reorganizing the limited soul energy.

So... their overall strength might not be too different.

Overall, it's like an investment; you might have to give up some things in the early stages, but the returns in the future will be enormous.

Because this world can no longer contain him, and he cannot go to the depths of the Dark Continent.

The Hunter x Hunter's world currently lacks maps for him to level up, making it impossible for him to grind monsters and gain experience.

The only way to fill this gap is to rely on other dimensions.

The system gives a figure of 70%!

The success rate of Oboro traveling to a lower-level world again is very high.

However, if the goal is to break through to a higher level of the world, the success rate is only five percent.

'If the host successfully travels to a new world and ensures the ability to reincarnate into other timelines, the constraints of the time-space barrier will gradually weaken with each subsequent travel, increasing the likelihood of returning to the Hunter World in the future.'

'Otherwise, even if the host successfully travels through time this time, there is a chance that they will get lost in the spacetime turbulence and never be able to return to this world.'

"Therefore, the best way is to start from a lower world, climb up step by step from worlds with similar power systems, and eventually return to a higher position."

"Long said in a deep voice."

The next task is quite simple...

Find a large number of people like 'Nanika' and control them.

Then, reduce the burden on your soul and travel light.

The ability to be carried to another world will be redesigned, provided that the conditions for travel are met.

It sounds complicated, but for Oboro at this moment, it's nothing more than a transformation of energy... very simple.

The next second, Oboro unleashed a sea of Ghost Mist and transmitted the image and information of 'Nanika' to all the spirits, "Find it!"

As the sound faded, the countless ghostly creatures scattered in all directions.

In fact, there are many rule-based life forms on this land, some of which are far more powerful than 'Nanika'.

However, the power of rules in most species is limited and has certain specific applications.

Because 'Nanika' applies rules in the form of 'wishing,' its 'range' is very large, making it relatively easier to help Oboro, which is why Oboro chose it as her target.

Since it involves time travel, the power of the rules should ideally be applicable to the 'space-time' dimension.

Many rule-based life forms are not related to it.

Whoosh! Long also transformed into his soul form, shooting straight through the air and disappearing into the horizon.

"Eeeee!"

Six months later, Oboro stood in a mountainous area that resembled a valley, surrounded by clusters of shadowy threads that looked like living things.

Wandering aimlessly.

It kept making a sound like "Ah".

Like the incessant croaking of frogs in a pond at night, making mechanical noises.

Desire-dependent entities, also known as gas-based life forms.

Oboro once suspected that Nanika was not quite a gas life form... but that was probably because this rule-based life form had combined with humans.

Nanika is a variant.

These primitive 'Earth' particles have not yet 'evolved,' but their abilities are still present.

These life forms are capable of feeling desires and parasitize the bodies of other living beings, forming a kind of 'mutated organism' like Nanika.

However, since the object of parasitic fusion is not a smart life like a human, there are still obvious differences.

The most crucial point is that their power of rules can be better released and utilized through human language, and thus amplified.

The 'angi' that parasitize other species lacks the channels and pathways to unleash the power of rules... This also demonstrates the importance of humans in the evolutionary sequence.

Whether you call it soul parasitism or spiritual implantation, it is essentially a combination of energy and the transmission of genes that has evolved.

If Alluka marries and has children, continuing the bloodline, perhaps in a future generation, her descendants will be born with the abilities of 'Ae'.

It's no longer a split in will.

Right now, all the dust particles are trapped here like prisoners by the Ghost Mist released from the darkness, unable to escape.

"Time is running out... However, this quantity is enough. If I can't even add a 'special halo' that can break through the space-time barrier after gathering such a huge amount of rule power, then... this is where I am."

Long took a deep breath.

He planned to dedicate the remaining six months to transforming his soul.

He was able to travel from Earth to Hunter x Hunter because he was originally just an ordinary person's soul. To the spacetime barrier, he was just a small fish fry, and he needed a bit of luck to succeed. But now... things are different.

"Although you don't have human genes... and don't have the advantages of Nanika, I... can let you truly use the rules!" Long looked at the shadows of varying sizes in front of him, slowly raised his arm, and clenched his fist towards all the gas lifeforms.

With a loud bang.

The surging, billowing Ghost Mist rose up like Black Sea, covering the sky, and in an instant, it engulfed all the 'dust'.

Using the soul as a medium!

The life forms of the Eurasian species have almost no dependence on the physical body; their hunting method is to spread like gas, without anyone noticing.

The fact that they parasitize souls makes them very much in line with the characteristics of 'souls'.

The entire depression resembled a pool filled with ink.

An astonishing black tide began to shrink and coalesce between the mountains.

Ultimately, all the 'dust' were connected by the power of the soul and merged into one.

Before Oboro, a gigantic black cloud of energy gradually appeared, resembling a giant human face with facial features.

Oboro mixed countless spirits into it.

"Oboro... can... can... give me... your... brain?"

A gigantic cloud of air, resembling a human face, opened its mouth and emitted a deafening, stuttering buzzing sound.

Its sound resounded in all directions.

And... she called out Oboro's name.

"Certainly."

Long smiled slightly.

Without hesitation, he swung his hand and stabbed himself in the temple. His fingers not only shattered his skull instantly, but also ripped open his head, exposing the brain tissue inside.

Then, with a flick of the other hand, the entire head was severed in an instant, rolled to the ground, and flipped over.

The headless corpse of Oboro also fell to the ground.

However, his life energy did not dissipate.

Just half a minute later, with the regeneration of blood vessels, flesh, and bones, a new head appeared.

He stood up again from the ground.

With his current abilities, he is not so dependent on his physical body anymore.

His soul far surpasses the 'Post-Mortem Nen' as understood by Nen user in the human world; it has even reached the point where it can exist independently of the physical body.

"Oboro...I...want...your...soul."

But the next second, E's request made Long's expression change slightly.

Although he was the first person to 'make a wish,' the conditions he was forced to accept weren't that cruel... However, it seems that E sensed his desire and used that to judge the magnitude of his 'wish.'

There is some connection between conditions and desires.

"Good."

He still did not refuse.

It only mentions souls, not all souls... there is a distinction here.

Just cut off a piece of his soul; it's going to be reduced anyway...

Fifteen minutes later, Oboro had met all the conditions and was finally able to express his wish.

"I want the ability for my soul to travel freely through time and space!"

"Aye."

After a response, the entire mountainside was instantly enveloped in a dazzling white light.
