Gaseous Lifeform Ai × Curse Transfer

Why would you ask that?

Zeno's gaze was deep and unfathomable as he turned to look at the Sun-Earring Boy: "What did you see in the illusion?"

Is it an illusion of reality, or reality that is illusory?

Sajin, Gordan, and Dasuo's "Life Energy" was displayed in the panel. Roy paused for a moment, then truthfully replied, "Pig-headed Monster."

"Anything else?"

"Undead." Roy didn't know how to explain "Life Energy" to Zeno, so he could only use "Undead" as an excuse. He clung to the railing, gazing at the shimmering lake, and said, "I always felt that those guys were real, not as simple as memories."

When falsehood is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood; when nothingness is taken for existence, even existence becomes nothingness.

The world is both material and void. Just like "dark matter" has no "electromagnetic entity," does not participate in interactions, is intangible and unobservable, yet it possesses mass and gravitational effects, proving its existence. This has already exceeded human understanding of the fundamental concept of "matter."

Your great-grandfather said he was "alive dead," but I always felt he wasn't dead, that he was still alive.

Zeno didn't mention the "Curse."

He stood with his hands behind his back, watching a small boat Youyou carrying a father and son sightseeing. The son, under his father's guidance, was using a small landing net to catch fish. A flicker of reminiscence crossed his eyes. "You saw that ' Demon Eye ' at home too. Although its structure is simple and not as active as the human brain... but..."

"It carries the memories of your grandfather Jager, and is at least a living being."

"It wouldn't be wrong to say he's still alive."

Roy frowned. "Even with Great-Grandpa and Grandpa around, they couldn't stop Great-Grandfather from mutating back then?"

"He hasn't returned, how can we stop him?"

"?!"

No! According to the original story, Netero's first exploration of the Dark Continent was when he was hired by the Minbo Republic to search for the legendary "Source of Liquid"—[Triple Water]—south of Lake Mobius. On the way, he accidentally entered the territory of [Gaseous Lifeform Ai] and almost suffered total annihilation.

In the end, it was only thanks to Grandpa Jager making a wish on one of the mysterious [A] that he was able to survive and be teleported away.

As a price for making the wish, "Nanika" came into being... Now that Zeno says he hasn't returned, it means that without his grandfather Jager as a vessel, [E] could not have left the territory and lived in the Zoldyck Bloodline as Nanika. Of course, Alluka would not have been born either.

"It's a ' Nen Beast '," Zeno said quietly, seemingly noticing Roy's question. "The ' Biscuit Soldier ' was a the Game card that your grandfather Jager collected years ago, which he later nurtured into a ' Nen Beast '."

"It was this creature that brought the Demon Eye and your grandfather Jager's last words home back then."

Zeno paused, then looked intently at the Sun-Earring Boy and said, "After you go home, visit your Grandpa Jager often. He has everything you want to know."

Roy remained silent, standing side-by-side with Zeno, enjoying the breeze and the scenery. They watched the sunset, the evening glow painting the sky a magnificent red, and after a long while, Roy nodded and said, "Grandpa played the Game too, didn't he?"

"Um."

"Did you pass through customs?"

"No."

How far have we gone?

"Giant King City Dragon," Zeno said with regret. "I once accompanied your grandfather Jager, and had the privilege of witnessing the immense size of the giants, but alas... I wasn't paying attention and was kicked to death by a passing dog..."

"Well...

Zeno: "Laugh if you want to."

Roy pouted. "No, I just think it's a bit exaggerated."

The Golden Crow tilted its head and looked over, then flapped its wings and rested them on its beak.

Zeno:".

He pointed at the Sun-Earring Boy, feigning anger, and said, "Boy, you're like a frog in a well, ignorant of the vastness of the world. On that continent, let alone a dog, even an Chimera Ant could kill you."

The fact that Roy, forced by the Chimera Ant Strongest Human detonate a nuclear bomb, illustrates this point.

Roy patted Golden Crow's little head, signaling it to give its grandfather some face, and said with deep agreement, "Grandpa is right. I'll listen to Great-Grandpa and never go to a place like that again, even if you beat me to death."

Zeno stared at Roy expressionlessly without saying a word, practically screaming "Do you think I believe you?" The Sun-Earring Boy touched his nose, gave an embarrassed smile, and, using the excuse that it was getting late and he needed to prepare for tomorrow's test, made a quick getaway.

The setting sun chased the Sun-Earring Boy's retreating figure, draping him in a Rosy Garment. After watching him leave, Netero, his sleeves billowing, approached Zeno and quietly said, "Stop looking. I know you really want to go, but alas... there aren't any ships for us old folks to board in this new era."

Ultimately, it still has to be left to these young people.

"Am I old?" Zeno glared at Netero. "Have you forgotten that I'm thirty years younger than you?"

"What, want to practice?" Netero narrowed his eyes, rolled down his sleeves, and pulled out a volleyball.

A gust of wind blew by, causing the eight large characters on Zeno's chest, "One Kill A Day, Active Career," to sway... I haven't had my fill of meat today, so why not test my blade on you, you old codger!

He immediately lowered his hands, which had been behind his back, and said, "I'll practice then!"

"Bang!"

The hotel doors slammed shut.

Roy bid farewell to his grandfather Zeno... and returned to his room, sending Kurajing back to her own room and ordering Gotoh to guard the door.

He immediately opened the panel and began absorbing the 40 points of "life energy" provided by Sargin Gondan.

After one's "physical constitution" improves, one's endurance also increases significantly. In terms of "pain tolerance," Roy is much more able to endure pain than when he was absorbing "Life Energy" bit by bit in the "Heavens Arena."

He took off his coat as usual and went to the bathroom.

The Golden Crow on its head seemed to be afraid of being forced to take a bath last time, and it flapped its wings, refusing to come in no matter what, so he had no choice but to put it on the bed.

Starting to add points all by myself.

As the panel displayed the message... all 40 points of "Life Energy" were reduced to zero.

A familiar pain surged up, and Roy braced himself against the wall with both hands, biting his lip to keep himself from passing out.

It felt like being thrown into a furnace and remade!

You can clearly "see" Transformation in various parts of your body.

First the heart, then the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and lungs, followed by bones... blood vessels... muscles... skin... until hair falls out and regenerates...

The Sun-Earring Boy opened his mouth and exhaled a heavy breath. Looking at himself in the mirror again, his body shape hadn't Transformation much, but he had grown two centimeters taller.

[Hint: "Constitution": 131.8 → 171.8 (Note: Average person is 1)]

[Manifested Aura: D (270/10000) → D+ (3600/10000) (Note: Rating is based on Chimera Ant; ordinary Chimera Ant are E, elite squad leaders are D, Squadron Leader are C, the Three Royal Guards are B-, and the Meruem is B+)]

[Potential Aura: D(430/10000)→C-(120/100000)]

[Evaluation: A thriving apple sapling, eagerly awaiting fruit]

"Whoosh~" The turbid air clung to the mirror, forming a layer of mist... The power within his body surged like a fountain, instantly replenishing his depleted Divine Power...

Roy straightened up and stretched his body with satisfaction. "Crackling" sounds came from his new joints, like popping Beans, as if they were enthusiastically welcoming their new owner and cheering with joy.

In that instant, Roy had a thought: if he encountered [Pig-headed General] again, even if he couldn't beat him, he figured he could at least hold out for a few more moves and not be turned into mincemeat by a flying hammer after just a few rounds.

"Splash..."

With the shower on, Roy, still covered in oil and hair, quickly tossed his hair behind his back and took a quick shower.

His gaze fell on the back of his hand, and he suddenly froze.

A mark had appeared on the smooth back of his hand, seemingly out of nowhere.

The mark is disc-shaped, with a line of numbers clearly imprinted on it...

Countdown is on!
