The Round Lid, adorned with a heart-shaped embossed design, opens.

The girl who came out never expected that there would be someone standing in front of her.

He froze on the spot, a look of panic on his face.

"Don't panic, this is your Nen ability, isn't it?"

Kevin looked at the other person and spoke.

Fugats looked at the man in front of her, unsure how to answer for a moment.

She had almost never faced such a situation before, and her face showed only panic.

Kevin looked at her calmly; he had already recognized who the girl in front of him was.

Fugats Hui Guo Rou.

The Prince ranked eleventh in this Succession War.

The Prince were strictly forbidden to move around on the first floor, and were not allowed to meet each other except at banquets.

In this situation, it would be impossible for it to appear on this layer.

Kevin glanced again at the tunnel behind her.

It hasn't disappeared; it still exists.

Therefore, it can be determined that the other party's Nen ability is some kind of ability used for spatial travel.

Wrong.

Kevin immediately realized something was wrong. Upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't Nen ability at all; it was a Nen Beast.

However, this kind of Nen Beast exists in the form of a conduit.

The Prince in front of them was not Nen user. Although his Nen Aura was drifting in a certain direction, he was essentially an ordinary person.

It's Guardian Spirit Beast.

Kevin crouched down, radiating kindness.

It is goodwill that exists in a real sense.

The Good and Evil Fist allows Kevin to materialize his good and evil intentions through Nen Aura.

The effects of carrying different wills towards the corresponding targets are also different.

If you show goodwill to your target, the target can sense it.

It's a vague feeling that can help make a good first impression.

Extend your hand.

Do you want me to pull you out?

Fugats looked at the man in front of her, pursed her lips, nodded, and extended her hand.

Kevin pulled the other person out.

When Fugats came out, the Circular Door closed and then vanished, transforming into a passageway that resembled a doorway.

The size is the same, but the shape has changed.

Why has the shape of the passageway changed?

There must be a reason for this.

After you exit, the door closes and disappears, then changes. So, the door you open now should be the door to go back.

If the passageway is passable, then changing its shape should be meaningless.

The shape has changed, and the patterns on it have also changed significantly.

Is there some condition that needs to be met before I can go back?

Kevin glanced at it, then stood up again, watching Fugats at the entrance of the passage.

Kevin roughly understood from the other person's eyes.

She can't open it.

"There's no going back, is there?"

"Hmm." Fugats nodded.

"He really is just a kid," Kevin thought with a hint of exasperation.

Regardless of the other person's actions or expressions, they undoubtedly conveyed the message that the other person was still an innocent child.

Furthermore, he has a rather introverted personality.

Should we send someone like that to fight against their own brothers and sisters?

It serves no purpose other than becoming cannon fodder.

"You must be the Eleventh Prince. I've seen your picture. You should be on the first floor right now. I remember that your Prince's movements are strictly restricted."

Faced with Kevin's question, Fugats simply stood by without saying a word, biting her lip lightly.

There was some caution, but that's about it.

The only way to resist is to remain silent, but one's inner thoughts are written all over their face.

"So you discovered your Nen Beast ability and wanted to escape this bloody battle between your brothers and sisters?"

Fugats remained silent.

"The one who can open this door back is your sister, isn't it? The Tenth Prince?"

Kevin still remembers the various information and materials that Pairo sent him.

The relationship between the Eleventh Prince and the Tenth Prince can be described as very good.

They are about the same age and grew up together.

Kevin guessed that this was the operating rule for the Nen Beast.

What an unexpected event!

However, they should be of some help to Kurapika.

With that in mind, Kevin began contacting other people.

After all, this is a Prince, someone who has participated in the Succession War. It's impossible for them to really do anything to the other party, nor is it possible for them to really hide the other party away.

The entire ship is involved in the Succession Ceremony; there's no way to hide. As for escape, it seems that unless the Succession Ceremony is disrupted, escape is also impossible.

As expected, it was Maitai who came to receive it, since he was in charge of this kind of work.

When Maitai saw that it was actually the Eleventh Prince, he was stunned for a moment.

After confirming that the other party was not injured, they breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming with various sources, it was indeed the Eleventh Prince, who had somehow managed to get to the Third Tier.

After coordinating the process, they sent it back.

Kevin was also questioned.

However, due to their status, the person making the inquiry spoke in a relatively calm tone, not daring to use extreme measures or be too harsh.

At this point, Pairo and Kurapika came over and escorted him back.

Her mother, the coordinating staff, and her most important bodyguards came to pick her up.

Kurapika and Pairo glanced at each other's guards.

It would be difficult not to recognize them, because their faces are so distinctive.

It has very obvious deformities.

The protruding teeth suggest that other teeth may also have problems. The head is completely bald, with only a few gray hairs hanging down on the sides.

The skin on the face showed signs of melting and solidification, but it did not appear to have been burned as if it had been in a fire.

The body is deformed, but not to the point of being repulsive.

It doesn't seem to have been caused by external force; it's more like it's caused by some kind of virus, but there are no signs of external injury.

Melody looked up and saw Kurapika and Pairo following behind.

The Melody of their hearts seemed to be fluctuating differently.

What's the meaning?

However, the heart palpitations didn't seem to be malicious.

But it is extremely strong and powerful.

Seemingly noticing that her gaze had met the other person's, Melody nodded slightly as an apology.

Pairo stared at the other person for a moment, then nodded and looked away.

The mark has already been made in the other party's eyes.

Three floors.

Kevin sat in the living room, pointing a finger to his forehead as he pondered.

"You met the Eleventh Prince who escaped?"

Biscuit, sitting beside him, asked with some curiosity.

Kevin nodded. "Exactly, just wandering around on the ship like that, and then a door opened right next to me, wasn't that fun?"

Biscuit rolled her eyes at the slightly amused smile on Kevin's face, "You surely understand that Nen ability aren't based on coincidences."

"Hehe, of course I know, so I'm wondering why."

What is the mechanism behind this door opening? Does it open to where you want to go, or to a place you've already been?

Or rather, they open randomly, at some unspecified location within a large area?

Nen ability like this would never lead its user to a dangerous place.

Because that's just how Nen ability work.

Not to mention that this Nen ability of the other party comes from a gift they received while in the midst of Succession Ceremony.

Guardian Spirit Beast.

Kevin had already learned some of the characteristics of the Succession Ceremony from Kurapika and Pairo.

It is said that this takes place before the Succession Ceremony begins, that is, before boarding the ship.

There will be a pot.

Each Prince dripped a drop of his blood into the pot, and this drop of blood served as proof of his participation in the Succession Ceremony.

After boarding the ship, Guardian Spirit Beast appeared.

Interestingly, the Guardian Spirit Beast Prince themselves cannot see their own Nen Beast, even though they are Nen user.

Others, however, can see it easily.

The Guardian Spirit Beast cannot fight each other, nor can they harm the opposing Prince who is also part of the Succession Ceremony.

Furthermore, Guardian Spirit Beast possess autonomy; unless their effects are strongly correlated with their hosts, these spirit beasts may even act on their own.

However, these spirit beasts are connected to their hosts and will change their behavior according to their hosts' consciousness and thoughts.

"If it's not a coincidence that the door opened right in front of me, there are two possibilities."

"Something about me attracted the other Nen Beast, so it opened the door right next to me. Another possibility is that I was safe nearby, and as Guardian Spirit Beast, it would naturally open the door in a safe place under certain random circumstances."

After hearing Kevin's speculation, Biscuit nodded slightly; that was about all she could think of.

Thinking of this, Kevin raised his arm, and a Chimera Ant crawled out from his sleeve.

This Chimera Ant is about the size of a palm. It has no eyes and, although it has the characteristics of Chimera Ant, it has strange patterns on it.

The pattern contains a symbol with the number one.

Rukira's Nen ability.

Ant Speech

Kevin stretched out his finger and tapped the Chimera Ant's back.

As it was tapped, certain changes in the pattern appeared.

This is actually the act of dialing a number.

Then the number three appeared on the Chimera Ant's head.

"Uncle?"

The sound of Pairo came from the Chimera Ant.

"Pairo, this Eleventh Prince wants to escape from Tsuyusuke, doesn't he?"

"That's right, it wasn't just the Eleventh Prince; the Tenth Prince and the other side also wanted to escape from the guild. They had no concept of this guild war and only realized they were going to fight each other after boarding the ship."

"In that case, you can cooperate to some extent with their escape efforts. Remember to let me know when they begin their escape plan and keep a close eye on them."

"No problem, Uncle."

The call ended.

Biscuit looked at Kevin.

"You want them to try it out, to see what the consequences would be if they escaped this trespassing incident?"

"There's no need to try. Escaping this treacherous journey only leads to one outcome: death. The treacherous journey has only one goal: survival. Everyone else faces only one fate."

Kevin said calmly.

Although he couldn't fully understand the entire ritual of the journey, through the Nen Beast and the subtle changes in the air, he could clearly see that this ritual was full of meaning.

The Prince, who are the main figures, certainly cannot escape; escape would only mean death.

"But when I saw that Eleventh Prince today, I discovered something very interesting. Would you like to hear about it?"

Kevin suddenly thought of something interesting and looked at Biscuit, asking her.

"Something this interesting?"

If Kevin said it was interesting, then it must be something special.

"I saw the other side using Nen Beast today."

"Then what?"

"I've discovered that the other person's Guardian Spirit Beast is quite similar to my situation. I don't know if you understand what I mean."

Upon hearing this, Biscuit sat up straight, resting her chin on her hands and frowning.

Similar to Kevin?

What is Kevin's most powerful ability? It is Kevin's dual- Nen ability mechanism.

When Biscuit first saw Kevin, she had a vague idea of this.

Kevin possesses an ability similar to Resentment, yet this Resentment -like ability is undeniably his own Nen ability.

Kevin himself is able to continue building a complete Nen ability that is completely separate from that Resentment- like ability.

Humans can create two Nen ability, and even three if strength isn't a priority.

As long as the settings are appropriate and you have enough energy and willpower, there won't be any problems.

The problem is that human will is limited, and the capacity of the soul to contain things is also limited.

This capacity has various names.

But they all mean the same thing.

Kevin is different.

His Resentment pharmaceutical abilities are calculated separately and do not occupy Kevin's own capacity.

It's equivalent to Kevin possessing two Nen ability, both of which are unique to the individual, neither interfering with nor encroaching on the other; both are perfect.

"I saw those Guardian Spirit Beast being used by these Prince' Fighting Spirit, just like their Nen ability, but these Prince themselves are not Nen user."

"It's just that their own Nen Aura is being used by these guardian Nen Beast, and the scale of their use of Nen Aura is extremely small, almost just a physical connection."

"In other words, if these Prince become Nen user, they can also develop their own unique Nen ability. In this case, they would essentially become dual Nen user, and the Nen ability inherited from the other guardian Nen Beast would have minimal impact on their own abilities."

And there's another hidden benefit, Kevin didn't mention, or rather, didn't need to mention.

Because guardian Nen Beast are Nen Beast, not just simple carriers of Nen ability. Like maids, they can exist as physical entities and perform functions.

This situation is similar to Kevin's own situation.

If one had to pinpoint a difference between the two, it would be that Kevin's Nen ability require Kevin to travel and expend his Nen energy.

Wu consumed a great deal of energy without any additional support, while the Prince and their Nen Beast consumed energy that did not deplete much of their own Nen Aura.

However, the Prince does not possess Kevin's corresponding dual-elemental 100% and other inherited special abilities.

"The reason I say they are similar is because those Nen Beasts are essentially composed of Resentment, only they are mixed with various effects from ritual objects, making them less dangerous than true Resentment."

Kevin's "Moment's Dream" is essentially a Resentment of Resentment, albeit one stemming from his own death.

They are even purer than these Guardian Spirit Beasts.

Therefore, it is evident how extravagant this ritual of the Kakin Empire was, and how absolute the power it could receive was.
