Inside the camp.

Everything is ready.

Jin and his team conducted a large-scale reconnaissance patrol and search of the surrounding area, and after confirming that there were no dangerous elements, they...

Kevin stood in the camp, holding the prepared medicine in his hand, and put it into Syringe.

A crowd gathered around.

They will witness here that Kevin's recitation volume truly surpasses one million.

"Call----"

Kevin sighed. "It's starting."

Without hesitation, he pressed the Syringe against his thigh, and the liquid flowed completely into his body.

The moment it entered the body, all the liquid evaporated, and a large amount of Nen Aura surged out.

Kevin's power surged past one million in an instant.

But that doesn't matter at all.

Because the increase of over a million through the liquid was not essentially a change in Kevin himself; he had already achieved that level before, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to increase his Nen power so quickly.

Kevin easily controlled the gushing air, keeping it contained within his body.

After all, Kevin only needs to adapt to this kind of sudden anger in the initial period; after that, he will be able to control it better.

Close your eyes, use your body to feel and remember.

Time passed slowly.

Thirty minutes later...

The energy that had surged forth dissipated, gradually fading from the body.

"Snap!"

It was like glass being shattered, like a barrier being breached.

The crisp, crackling sound seemed like a hallucination, yet it also seemed undeniably real.

The moment the effects of the medicine wore off.

The body memorizes the changes and imprints them into itself.

The amount of thought--1 million.

Jin, who was standing nearby, immediately noticed the change.

He frowned and instinctively took a step back.

Not only him, but everyone around him felt a sharp, piercing sense of crisis that came over them in that instant.

Kim frowned, looking closely at Kevin.

He seemed to see some kind of Imagery Body manifesting in Kevin.

This Imagery Body somewhat indistinct and unclear, but it can be discerned to be some kind of human form.

But soon...

This illusory Imagery Body becomes real and more obvious.

It was a figure resembling a giant supporting the sky, but it had four arms.

His upper left and right arms carried a Giant Tripod, which he steadily placed on his shoulders.

Two arms hanging down, clasped in front of the chest.

The image of Four-Armed Cauldron-Carrying Titan, supporting the sky, thus appeared on Kevin's body.

"Did you see that?"

Without turning his head, Jin asked.

"What do you see?" Tewashi asked curiously, turning his head.

Jin didn't say anything more, he just shook his head.

Can't others see it?

Why?

And this kind of Imagery Body... haven't I seen it somewhere before?

Jin sensed a hint of familiarity, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Kevin suddenly opened his eyes.

At the same time, the Four-Armed Cauldron-Carrying Titan also opened its eyes.

Golden light burst forth from his eyes.

"Call out!"

Everyone surrounding them immediately stepped back and assumed a fighting stance.

They were stressed.

Or rather, the sudden and intense stimulation caused their bodies to react directly.

Like natural enemies.

No, they are natural enemies.

It wasn't until they reacted that they suddenly realized what was happening.

Then the sense of threat vanished, because Kevin's eyes hadn't actually emitted any golden light.

"Sorry, did I scare you? I'm still a bit clumsy."

Kevin suddenly laughed.

He slowly raised his hands and looked at his arms.

At this moment, Kim also noticed that the Imagery Body on Kevin's body had disappeared at some point.

"Have you changed in any way?" Jin asked.

The crowd gathered around again, looking at Kevin with curiosity.

Gon and Qi even reached out and patted Kevin's body, wanting to see if there was any difference from before.

Has it changed?

Kevin raised his hands.

Suddenly, he lowered his left hand and placed only his right hand in front of him, extending his index finger.

A wisp of Nen Aura gathered at the tip of the index finger.

It condensed into a cloud of gas.

He made a gun gesture with his hand, pointing it into the distance.

"Biu!"

A gas cloud was ejected.

Like a bullet leaving the barrel, it immediately sliced through the air, leaving a crater in the dark ground.

Jin watched.

With a furrowed brow, he suddenly asked, "You've become Emission Type?"

Kevin is special, and of course he knows that.

But those are only Enhancement Type and Specialization Type, and have nothing to do with Emission Type.

But he was absolutely certain that the attack just now definitely signified a change in the system.

"In some ways, yes, and not just in some way."

Kevin said with a smile, then his five fingers formed a claw, and everyone felt something sharp wrap around Kevin's hand.

Then Kevin swung his arm forward sharply.

The hurricane created by the swinging claws cut forward like a blade.

The ground was instantly cleaved into five trenches by the sharp aura.

"Transmutation Type?"

Jin frowned.

Kevin kept his five fingers together, his smile undiminished.

"That's right."

"Anything else? The Manipulation Type and the Materialization Type?"

Upon hearing Kim's question, Kevin rolled his eyes at him.

"It's not that exaggerated. I'm essentially Enhancement Type Mountain-Shaped, Emission Type, and Transmutation Type. I've also become almost 100% strong, but I'm still a bit weaker than Enhancement Type."

If we had to make an analogy...

It's roughly 100% of the three types, but apart from the Enhancement Type which can reach a certain extreme peak, neither the Emission Type nor the Transmutation Type can reach the ultimate peak.

However, it works exactly the same as the normal 100% series.

Kevin couldn't reach that before.

When the Nen Aura is transformed into these two types, only 80% of the effect can be achieved.

But now this attenuation has disappeared.

"Once we break the million mark, will adjacent departments also reach 100%?"

Men Qi listened from the side, tapped her chin, and muttered to herself.

Kevin shook his head. "Not necessarily. This is just a change in me. We can't draw conclusions before we have a second sample."

Hearing this, Men Qi nodded. "That's true."

This could be a general phenomenon, or it could just be a change specific to Kevin, so we cannot draw any conclusions prematurely.

"That change really suits you."

Buhaci, standing nearby, nodded and smiled, saying he was happy for Kevin.

As is well known, Kevin possesses various Nen ability due to the drug.

However, due to the different departments, apart from the Enhancement Type, the other departments cannot achieve 100% effectiveness.

However, most of Kevin's Nen ability are actually Emission Type and Transmutation Type.

A small number of Materialization Type, and a very small number of Manipulation Type.

Now that Kevin can unleash the full potential of both his Emission Type and Transmutation Type Nen ability, his combat power has jumped to a whole new level.

"If a breakthrough can bring about such a change, then all that accumulation and effort has truly been worthwhile."

Tewashi also expressed his admiration from the side.

"More than that."

Jin suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment and turned to look at Kevin.

Kevin nodded.

"Of course it's more than that. How should I put it? It's hard to describe the feeling. When your Nen power exceeds one million, it's like—it's like you've evolved. You're still human, but you've surpassed humanity."

Kevin couldn't find a better word to describe it, so this was the only explanation he could come up with.

He could clearly feel the changes in his body, not just his physical body, but also his will and soul.

Everything about Nen Aura changed.

One point alone can prove this very well.

That means he came from another time and took over the body of someone originally named Kevin.

Kevin arrived during the process of the other person's soul wandering into death.

Therefore, part of Kevin's original soul fragmented and merged into his Nen Aura, while a portion of his emotions and will formed a [Moment's Dream] that resembled Resentment.

This is also the reason for Kevin's precise control over Nen Aura and his dual Nen ability.

Although the changes in the soul affecting the body have made this body increasingly resemble Kevin from the previous world.

But ultimately there are some differences.

But things are different now.

Actually, when I used Ant King's medicine before, it was already difficult to notice that uncomfortable barrier anymore.

Because the Ant King is a perfect fusion, this kind of barrier has essentially disappeared long ago.

But there's still that unseen trace.

Now that we've surpassed one million, it's perfect.

In some ways, Kevin has become almost a perfect human being.

Of course, this only applies to humans.

Kevin reached out his hand.

A Small Tripod materialized in his hand.

"What is this?" Men Qi asked.

She knew, of course, that it was a ding (a type of ancient Chinese cooking vessel), but it was clearly more than just its appearance.

"Nen ability, Moment's Dream, that Alchemy Table."

Kevin said.

Everyone was stunned.

Because Kevin's previous Alchemy Table was clearly a triple Scales.

It has now turned into a Small Tripod.

"Has it changed? How is the effect different from before?" Jin suddenly asked.

Others might not understand, but he understood perfectly.

Because the Alchemy Table was formed from the will and Resentment of the deceased.

That wasn't Kevin's real Nen ability.

Kevin's true Nen ability is [Blank Meteor].

As someone who witnessed Kevin's possession and resurrection, King understood this perfectly.

Therefore, he could understand why Kevin's Nen ability had changed.

Because this Nen ability has become Kevin's own; it has truly become Kevin's Nen ability.

"Essentially, nothing has changed; it's still about making potions."

"Furthermore, it's been enhanced. Previously, only three materials could be used to make potions, but now, there's no limit to the number of materials. However, the more materials you have, the more complex the potion becomes, the higher the chance of failure, and the more energy is wasted."

It's still the same old system of limitations for Nen ability; that's the essence of Nen ability —the more powerful the ability, the more limitations it has.

Moreover, this restriction is very reasonable. Originally, there were only three materials, and one of them had to be reserved for the Fusion Agent, so the combination was very simple.

However, the more materials you add, the more possible combinations there are. Combined with the properties of the materials, the time required to create a potion using more materials increases exponentially.

Having more materials isn't necessarily a good thing.

The ensuing problems have made even more powerful Nen ability more complex and difficult to use.

Reasonable restrictions, but they are indeed Restriction.

But this is undoubtedly an enhancement.

"That's strange, then why change its appearance?"

Ximo suddenly asked.

Those who can come here are all Nen user, the best among them, and they all have their own understanding and research on Nen ability.

Why change the shape? Logically, there should be more trays.

"This is a crucible, isn't it? Don't wizards use these things to brew potions?"

Gon suddenly said.

Qi stretched out two fingers and tapped Gon on the head.

"Idiot, this is called a ding (鼎), it looks similar to a crucible, but they are completely different things."

"What's that?" Gon rubbed his head and asked curiously.

He had never heard of such a strange word before.

This question Kiy for a moment before she thought for a moment and said, "It should be an artifact from an ancient civilization. I don't know much about it, but I've seen similar antiques at home."

The Qi family was not lacking in civilization and culture related to the ding (a type of ancient Chinese cooking vessel), so they were influenced by similar traditions.

Come to think of it, Kevin does seem to have seen characters similar to Chinese characters at other companies.

"As people's preferences change, it's not strange for their appearance to change as well; there's no need to worry about it."

Jin suddenly said.

However, he knew perfectly well why Kevin's Nen ability had changed his appearance, but there was no point in asking further; it was meaningless.

"Anything else?"

"Besides!"

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it, and they exclaimed in surprise.

This has already changed a lot, what else can change?

Upon hearing this question, Kevin looked at Kim, then suddenly smiled and asked, "You can see?"

Jin rolled her eyes.

"Of course I can see it."

"Not bad."

Kevin spoke as his Nen Aura and will began to subtly manifest.

Four-Armed Tripod-Carrying Giant appeared behind Kevin.

This time, Kim saw it very clearly.

The others finally realized that something was wrong.

Gon and Qi frowned.

"I vaguely remember seeing it before."

"Yes, we've seen something similar before."

The two children's words suddenly opened everyone's minds.

Men Qi suddenly clapped his hands.

"I remember now, the Chairman seems to have had a similar feeling!"

That's right, the Hundred-Type Guanyin.

"How did you do that? Your martial arts will or something similar certainly can't reach the level of the Chairman."

Jin asked the crux of the problem.

As one of the world's Five Great Nen Users acknowledged by Netero, King understood very well how Netero acquired his Nen ability.

Netero's Nen ability is an invisible Nen Aura attack, but it is extremely fast and extremely powerful.

The ultimate power derived from simple numbers.

The Hundred-Type Guanyin is not a real, existing object.

To some extent, Kim greatly admired Netero's will to refine his martial arts to the extreme.

No normal person could do that, not even himself.

Because he himself is not the kind of person who would specialize in one particular path to the extreme.

He also understood that Kevin wouldn't be that kind of person.

Furthermore, the Cauldron-Carrying Giant behind Kevin and the Hundred-Type Guanyin give off different feelings.

The Hundred-Type Guanyin represents the ultimate in compassion, gratitude, and martial arts.

But Kevin didn't; he felt like an Imagery Body, carrying a sense of suppression on a life level.

"Essentially, it's the same thing as Chairman Netero, but it's clear that this thing is very individualized. The essence is the same, but the appearance and various extensions are completely different."

Kevin shrugged helplessly as he spoke.

"But I don't have a clue how to use this thing yet; I need to study it."

It feels like something that arises from the fusion of the soul, will, Nen Aura, and physique after reaching a certain stage.

Netero, on the other hand, may have created this Imagery Body by stretching his strengths through sheer willpower after reaching the limits of everything else.

That's a symbol of genius and monster.
