God-Slayer Roy X The Sandworm Appears Again X The Squadron Leader Army Goes to Battle

God... cockroach...

Roy watched silently, a sentence involuntarily entering his mind...

God said, "Let there be light," and there was light; God said, "Let all sin fall into darkness," and there was Hell...

If God determines the cycle of life and death for humanity based on His likes and dislikes, then... who determines the cycle of life and death for God?

[It's because among us "cockroaches," as times change, there's always a small group of [unbelievers] and [disrespectful] individuals who occasionally emerge, because they lack reverence... therefore...]

Unable to offer God "Faith" as bait, one is naturally not favored by [God], yet...

Humans, as highly intelligent beings, can provide far more "Faith" points when sincerely worshipped compared to some uncivilized Magic Beast beasts and monsters. Therefore... the gods had to take care of their human Believer, not exterminating these "God-Slayer," but simply banishing these [disbelievers] and [disrespectful] "heretics" to the lower realm...

As far as I know, there are at least seven other places similar to [Lake Center Island] in the Dark Continent... These are the places of exile for those judged as "heretics" by the Seven Great Orthodox Gods...

[This is a premise--]

"Splash~" The afternoon sun shone brightly through the clean glass window onto the Sun-Earring Boy. Roy's heart surged like waves, and he gained a general understanding of that unknown Dark Continent for the first time.

First, there really are gods on that continent, whether based on "numerical values" or "rules," they wield immense "authority"...

Secondly, it is a "land of Faith," and it is foreseeable that... there must exist human kingdoms that Faith the so-called "Seven Great Orthodox Gods"...

Thirdly, because they are despised, there will be "Gatekeeper," "Calamity," and "Magic Beast," etc., preventing these Abandoned People from the lower realm, labeled "God-Slayer," from returning to the Dark Continent...

Roy stared blankly at the "title page message," then rubbed his hands together for a moment. If... all the humans living on the Lake Center Island were descendants of "heretics" or "God-Slayer," then... he, directly [belonging to God]...

What is this Curse being?

What if I log in and get discovered immediately, becoming a wanted criminal throughout the entire Dark Continent?

His mood grew increasingly heavy... Roy realized he had underestimated the situation... To kill a god, he might first have to overcome the divine kingdom He had created; in other words... he would no longer be facing a single person, but an entire nation!

In the original work, even a powerful Meruem, a B+ class creature with Potential Aura volume of millions, was forced to perish before the nuclear bombs built by V5 nations... the "Poor Man's Rose"... First, he was nearly killed by the explosion, then revived by absorbing Shaiapouf and Youpi, only to be poisoned to death again... This clearly shows...

If an individual's power does not rise to a level that is beyond the reach of others and can only be admired and revered, it will be... utterly worthless before a "collective" based on a nation, or even before a divine kingdom blessed with "Divine Power"!

So, the question is... what did Grandpa Jager do back then that made [God] attack him from across Lake Mobius?

Roy thought of the "Gaseous Lifeform Ai," and of his unborn younger brother Alluka and Nanika. He frowned, turned the cover, and continued reading. His eyes fell upon a hand-drawn illustration...

[Western Continent Map]

The map was marked with nearly a hundred regions of varying sizes... some were countries... some were forests... some were coastal areas. Roy only glanced at it briefly and noticed that the entire Western Continent was covered by forests and coastal areas. The [human] [nations], when added up, seemed to account for less than 20 percent of the Western Continent.

In other words, compared to humans, the Dark Continent is more suitable for the survival of "Magic Beast," "Rare Beast," "Phantom Beast," and all sorts of incredible "Calamity," and... Roy made an unexpected discovery...

In these forests and coastal areas far from human lands, Grandpa Jager specially circled a spot with a red pen and added a note...

The human world belongs to humans, the world of Magic Beast belongs to Magic Beast; in a place where humans do not exist, [there is no god].

The tentacles couldn't reach out.

So... it seems that "Faith" is crucial to [God], and where "Faith" cannot reach, even if the other party is [God], it is difficult to achieve anything...

Roy focused his gaze on the forests and coastal areas, then shifted his look to the lower left corner. On the southern shore of a forest surrounded by two kingdoms called [Samir Principality] and [Hoin Kingdom], he discovered... the landing point of the "Triple Water" that Netero, Linne, and their grandfather Jager had searched for years ago with the support of the Kukan'yu Kingdom...

The Sandworm— [Great Devourer]—once inhabited the [Uzuki Great Forest]!

That thing, with just its [training], overwhelmed him, making it impossible for him to lift his head. He didn't know what kind of creature it was; [Monster Compendium]

The story is eagerly awaited... The Sun-Earring Boy rubbed his temples, glanced at the sky, and temporarily closed <The Record of the Western Continent>, intending to personally explore the subject with his grandfather, Jager.

After all, he had promised Gotoh to teach him the "Breathing Style" that evening, and time was of the essence, so he couldn't afford to delay.

However, before that... the Sun-Earring Boy pushed back his chair, stood up, took off his pajamas, and went into the bathroom... to absorb the accumulated "Life Energy" first.

[Hint: "Constitution" +71]

[Current "Constitution": 242.8 → 313.8]

The familiar, excruciating pain returned... When "adding points" became the norm, it didn't hurt as much anymore, at least not like the first time when I almost fainted from the pain.

Yesterday's "old body" was weathered and decayed, today's "new body" is reborn from the ashes... In less than a minute, the Sun-Earring Boy walked out. His height did not seem to have increased, but his tight, chiseled muscles could not deceive the eyes.

Roy crossed his arms and lifted them towards the sky, twisting his waist to loosen up his body and gradually adapt to the current physical intensity. He put on a training uniform, which was already a good fit, but was now noticeably too small and tight... he would have to change it again.

"It's best to get a bigger one."

That way, adding more next time won't require changing clothes so frequently... Roy planned to tell Gotoh in the evening, then reached out the door and went out...

"Tap... tap..."

Footsteps echoed through the weathered corridors of the Zoldyck Family Ancient Castle, a place steeped in the passage of time...

The Sun-Earring Boy, bathed in sunlight, slowly walked towards the basement, glancing sideways at the garden at one point... After the housekeeping team's intensive repairs, Silva accompanied Kikyo on his usual walk, the woman heavily pregnant, her due date reportedly in two months.

Two months later... the day that cluster of silver hair Human World was also the day the next successor of the Zoldyck was decided.

"Time flies..." Roy stretched out a hand, letting a fallen leaf swirl into his palm. He thought back to last year when he was worried about his stagnant "physical condition," but now he had to worry about an even bigger problem: the "Curse."

Without realizing it, I've become less concerned about things like "heir" and "head of the family"...

At that moment, Silva, sensing something, turned his head and glanced at Roy.

"Gaa~"

With a thought, the Sun-Earring Boy summoned Golden Crow, which spread its wings and suddenly emerged from above his head, spitting out a tongue of fire that burned the fallen leaf that Roy Roy's palm to ashes...

It seemed to be complaining to him that he had eaten a good lunch but hadn't called it.

Heaven have mercy... He was exhausted at that time and had no strength to Nen Qi so, so please Forgive him.

Roy chuckled and stroked the golden tuft of hair on the Golden Crow's head. The Fat Crow pecked at him in a huff and then, as usual, perched on his head.

Silva watched this scene silently as the Sun-Earring Boy and the bird, laughing and joking, disappeared around the corner... He snapped back to reality when his sleeve was tugged; it was Kikyo calling him.

"This baby will definitely have silver hair," the woman said.

Silva withdrew his gaze and gave a noncommittal, soft "hmm." This was the 564th time the woman had said this to him since she became pregnant.

In silence, I helped her up and walked forward...

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was beginning to set.

Young Master...

Young Master...

Cheng Yue hadn't seen him for a month. One-Eye, Scarface man stood guard in front of the basement door. When he saw Roy approaching, he bowed in greeting.

"Long time no see," Roy said with a smile.

"Long time no see." The Scarface, with One-Eye on each side, opened the door for the Sun-Earring Boy, revealing a deep and secluded passageway behind it.

Ever since he learned that [re; Death the Game] was connected to the real Dark Continent, Roy was overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing Jager again. He stood silently in front of the door for a moment before taking a deep breath and stepping inside.

Scar-Face One-Eye bowed slightly as they saw him off, their footsteps fading into the distance... Once Roy was out of sight, the two exchanged a glance and closed the door.

"Young Master, things have changed."

"I've become stronger... and also changed... I can't quite put my finger on it..."

He must be preoccupied.

"Having something on his mind means he's grown up and matured."

"Like Lord Jager?"

"No... he's not the master... but the master seems to like him very much."

A few words exchanged in hushed tones, drifting away on the wind...

Roy walked through the passage, stepping under the dim, yellowish light, and slowly approached the airtight door. He glanced at the chrysanthemums out of the corner of his eye; the early spring chrysanthemums had already faded, no longer as vibrant as in late autumn. He took a deep breath and raised his hand to knock.

Knock... " There was a knock on the door.

"Grandpa Jager, I've come to see you."

"Swoosh"

The airtight door suddenly swung open, and thick tentacles reached out, wrapping around Roy and dragging him inside.

Just then, the notification sound from the panel appeared in Roy's ears as expected.

[Monster Compendium... Completed...]

[Demon Eye: Rank B "Rare Beast"]

[Manifested Aura: 177851/1000000 (Note: Based on Chimera Ant. Elite squad leader is D, Squadron Leader is C, Three Royal Guards are B, and the Meruem B+)]

[Potential Aura: 177851/1000000 (Note: This is a "Demon Eye" that has been "artificially" modified. Its potential for improvement has been exhausted. It is suspected that it was used as a "memory" vessel and its "original consciousness" was destroyed.)]

"No doubt... it was Grandpa Jager's doing." Roy suddenly remembered what Zeno had once told him... It was Grandpa Jager's "Nen Beast" "Biscuit Soldier" that brought the Demon Eye home. His mind wavered, his consciousness went black, and when he came back to his senses...

He reappeared beside his grandfather, Jager, and caught a glimpse of a young Netero and Linne in profile...

"Roar!" Towering Sandworm rose from the ground, sweeping across the surroundings with unparalleled power... Roy's gaze passed over the group, looking ahead at the towering trees that intertwined to form a lush forest, and behind him, the waves crashed against the rocks, splashing countless droplets of water.

That's right, it's the landing point where Grandpa accompanied Neteroline on their first journey to the Dark Continent... - the southern shore of the Ichimozuki Great Forest!

What are you staring at, kid?

"Get down!"

A familiar notification sounded...

Unlike before, this time, Roy chose... to stand!

"No... I need to see this monster in its entirety!"

[Monster Compendium... Expanded...]

The Sun-Earring Boy rejected Jager's suggestion. With a thought, he gathered his energy in front of him, forming a hard shield wreathed in "Magnetism purple energy"... Jager, whose silver hair was unlike Silva's smooth hair, but rather resembled that of the soon-to-be-born Qi, stood upright like a hedgehog, displaying his flamboyant personality. He glanced at Jaeger unexpectedly...

The unknown Sun-Earring Boy beside me was actually able to skillfully use the advanced application technique of "One [Firm]".

He muttered to himself, "I wonder whose child this is; they seem quite talented."

"Bang... bang... bang..." Sand and stones flew... Sandworm, carrying their own power, created a whirlwind, destroying everything in their path... They ripped off the ground, destroyed ships... Trees, sampans, and ship rudders kept crashing down upon them...

This time, relying on a physical bonus of nearly 300 points, Roy glanced at his own magnanimity...

[Manifested Aura: D+(6874/10000→9825/10000)]

[Potential Aura: C - (1542/100000 → 22580/100000)]

I don't even know how many times better I've improved since before I went to the Hunter Exam!

"Heh heh... good lad, standing up straight..." Netero was next to Jager, with Linne on the other side.

The two men glanced at Roy in surprise. One had Buddha Light emanating from him, while the other had a Big Iron Pot standing upright in front of him... They seemed much more relaxed Roy...

In her youth, Linne wore two ponytails and a red Lolita-style dress. She conjured a spatula with a swift motion, smashing a sampan that was hurtling towards her with a "thud." Turning her head, she asked Roy, "Sun-Earring Boy, what's your name? Which faction do you belong to?"

Young and skilled in using [Firmness], he's a talented individual. Perhaps he can provide some assistance in exploring the Dark Continent...

"Roy." Roy raised his shield and deflected a flying rock, offering no further information.

According to the information revealed by Netero at the Zevil Island, the group was forced to separate upon landing, clearly having encountered something... beyond their control!

Speak of the devil, and he appears; towering Sandworm stir up the wind and clouds, and looking down, one notices several "little worms" standing firmly.

They don't seem to care much about the damage they've caused.

Enraged... he roared to the sky!

Its massive body suddenly trembled, shedding countless scales that transformed into countless lice, each over three people tall, wriggling and forming an endless army that swarmed towards the group...

Roy felt a chill run down his spine; a message suddenly popped up on his screen and disappeared between his eyebrows...

[Monster Compendium... Completed...]

[Mad Louse: C-Rank Magic Beast]

[Manifested Aura: C-(2451/100000)]

[Potential Aura: C(14280/100000)]

[Note: The strength of Parasite varies significantly depending on the individual it hosts. Because it often feeds on the host's Nen Qi, a symbiotic relationship is formed between them, and it is often driven by the host...]

Summarize...

What's charging towards Roy group now is... an army of "Mad Louse" at the level of Chimera Ant Squadron Leader!
