Mind Manifestation × 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva

Gotoh had a dream, a very, very long dream.

In my dream, I seemed to have returned to the embryonic stage, developing from a fertilized egg into a morula, a blastocyst, and then, with a "plop," it felt like I was falling into water, and implantation began...

Even though it was just an embryo, not yet developed, and without organs or a brain, Gotoh could recognize at a glance that the small, round thing that had landed on the uterine wall was itself!

"Have I been reborn?"

Or rebuild?

The Gotoh, detached from the embryo, observed everything from God's Eye View, its mind involuntarily conjuring up the image of Roy with his silver hair and smiling face. The butler, silent and still, watched... the blastocyst, which should have begun further development, was suddenly bathed in a warm, gentle, hazy sunlight radiating from it...

"Clang!" Gotoh immediately felt as if something had broken deep within his body... A vague realization welled up in his mind as the "sunlight" flowed in...

Looking at it again, Gotoh could clearly feel that its blastocyst form was more active and larger than before.

The butler's heart stirred, and the vague realization gradually began to become clearer.

That was the sound of the [Genetic Shackles] breaking and being forged anew.

"It's the Young Master..."

"It was that drop of... blood he gave me..."

"That drop of seemingly ordinary blood essence actually contains the [Sun Power]..."

Gotoh felt a warmth in her heart. Amidst a thousand thoughts, she continued to silently watch over her tiny self as time passed. As expected, after the blastocyst, he quickly developed organs, hands, and feet, brimming with energy, rolling over, swimming freely, treating the amniotic fluid like a swimming pool, his movements brimming with boundless energy... completely different from ordinary infants...

And this is something bestowed upon him by his genes... something that started in the womb... making him different from everyone else!

Soon, October passed, Gotoh realized he had finally been born. Still in his swaddling clothes, he was abandoned like trash in an inconspicuous garbage dump in Meteor City. In his hazy consciousness, he couldn't even clearly see what his mother looked like, or how she could have so cruelly abandoned him at birth.

But the thought that this was Meteor City, Hell where most children wouldn't even grow up to adulthood, made Gotoh pause and watch that slender figure slowly disappear into the night after abandoning her. Slowly... she felt a sense of relief.

Later, he was found by Tsubone and joined the Zoldyck... He began learning butler skills and Nen Qi as an apprentice butler. Several years later, one day, he was assigned to care for the young Young Master...

For the first time in her life, Gotoh had seen someone smile, and it was so warm and radiant.

"Hello," the Young Master still had a full head of black hair that day, took the initiative to extend his right hand to me.

That day, filled with trepidation, he knelt on one knee with his right hand on his chest and swore allegiance, thus confirming that he had found his one and only master for life!

"... For some reason, the previously peaceful dream suddenly trembled. Everything seen and heard was immediately interrupted. The Gotoh person was still swearing allegiance before Roy when, in a second glance, he looked up, squinting at the edge of the shattered dream..."

Three figures stood a short distance in front of him, separated by a door, whispering to each other...

At one point, noticing his gaze, the younger man gestured gently to her from afar, saying softly, "Don't panic, I'm here." Gotoh, once again like an embryo receiving sunlight, found herself encased in Blood Cocoon. She recognized Roy at a glance, then abruptly closed her eyes, which had been wide open, with a sense of peace...

[Dominant State - Absolute Domination]

Roy felt the Thread of Causality connecting him and the Gotoh growing thicker and stronger, when he suddenly heard Netero say softly, "Your butler is quite perceptive."

The Sun-Earring Boy, maintaining his composure, stood side-by-side with Netero, smiling as he said, "He's naturally a sensitive person; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be a butler."

Netero let out a muffled "hmm," then glanced again at the Gotoh that had fallen asleep peacefully once more. In his own reflection, he vaguely saw a dramatic transformation unfolding...

It started as a fleeting shooting star, prepared to die, only intending to shine briefly... but unexpectedly, it evolved into...

A planet with its own fixed orbit, slowly rotating around a central point!

The differences between them, whether in terms of "quality," "size," "magnetic field," or "vitality," are almost incomparable to what they were before... and all of this happened in less than two short years.

As Netero drifted, he glanced at Roy without making a sound... The young butler who once seemed to have a glimpse of his "upper limit" has now transformed into this state, which is undoubtedly related to the warm smile of the Sun-Earring Boy in front of him.

A Youyou mountain breeze drifted in through the window...

The Gotoh slept peacefully... Netero's mind left his body, but he didn't return. At a certain moment, he stretched out a hand and waved it in front of him... The second-floor corridor instantly transformed... In its place was a world covered by a projection of his mind... a world where only the mind could briefly linger.

"Buzz!" Many gazes converged, only to be instantly interrupted and repelled...

Caught in the storm of [Heart Drop; Fist Listening] and [Heart Drop; Sword Listening] colliding and clashing, everyone except Maha, including Silva and Zeno, trembled slightly and were instantly swept away by Netero's will, expelled from the spell.

Silva and Zeno each remained silent for a moment, standing still for a long time without moving an inch.

"Tap tap... tap." By then, the sun had completely risen above the horizon, and the scorching sunlight cast a warm glow, making the heat oppressive... In that dimly lit little room, Maha listened to cartoons, rocking back and forth in his rocking chair, tapping the armrest with self-satisfied delight... He lay there lazily, ignoring Netero's attempts to block out his senses... He remained unmoved.

In the world of [Heart Drops; Fist Listening],

Netero squinted and could only smile helplessly, saying, "Old man, still so hard."

Turning his head, he simply let Maha have his way, waving his hand lightly, and a few small stools, along with a calm, shimmering lake of the heart, slowly emerged, lying across Roy's front...

Roy's nostrils twitched, and he keenly caught a familiar scent from the breeze sweeping across the lake. He casually sat down on a stool and said, "This lake must be the mental projection that Jin left here."

As the Sun-Earring Boy's gaze swept around, he noticed a fishing rod askew stuck in front of an empty sail on his right. At the end of the rod, where the fishing line connected to the float, was a red bead... It was exactly the same fishing rod Gin had used when fishing at the beach. A sudden thought flashed through his mind: in the original story... Gon used this fishing rod several times, catching the giant sea bream, hooking it onto a rock with Leorio, soaring across the sea, and landing on the deck of the Poseidon.

His right hand, outstretched and shimmering with light, instantly materialized a straight, long staff using [Wood Release], which he casually flicked... Nen Thread shot out with a "clink~" and disappeared into the lake, splashing up water droplets...

Netero flicked his sleeve, then chose the empty saddlebag to Roy's left and sat down. Looking at the ripples on the lake of his heart, where several fish darted about, he said Youyou, "Jin is one of the few people I've met who is particularly kind to nature."

"This lake, the fish swimming in it, the birds and beasts drinking water on the opposite shore—all of these left a deep impression on me..."

[Heart Drop; Fist Listening] signifies a clash of minds and wills!

Words can deceive, and eyes can deceive, but the thoughts and ideas in one's heart, projected into the Mind Space in a "Conjuration" form, cannot deceive anyone.

Roy followed Netero's gaze, looking at the birds and beasts, then recalling the day he and King Razor. He remembered how Netero had demonstrated the ability to temporarily borrow the innate Nen Ability of Magic Beast through [Contract]. To say he possessed "natural affinity" wouldn't be an exaggeration. "What about that spot?" Roy sat by the lake, Hookless Fishing. His gaze swept across the water and noticed a patch of green grass on the shore, shimmering with a faint light, like a gemstone, reflecting multicolored light in the sunlight...

The answer was vaguely in my mind.

The first person that came to mind was a certain older woman who likes to act young!

"You're right, that's the impression Biscuit left on me..."

The impression was nothing short of a profound emotional impact; its power was so strong that it is indelible.

Following Netero's example, Roy, on a whim, picked up some scattered firewood to make a fishing rod, Hookless Fishing, and said with a smile, "It's understandable that girls like jewels. My apprentice has loved collecting these sparkly things since she was little."

"Yao Yao murmurs... Sometimes it's piled up all over the room, making it impossible for this old man to even step inside..."

Indeed, it seemed like something an old woman would do... Roy's gaze swept past the gemstone field and continued towards the distant horizon... In the distance, he could see dust billowing, chariots roaring, and gunfire erupting... Faintly, he could also see cannonballs leaving long trails of flame as they shot into the sky... This time, before Roy could ask,

Netero offered to explain, "That's the impression Botobai left on me."

One-Man Army: Botobai... As the undisputed number one figure in the Hunter Association after Netero, according to the original work...

With that kind of ability, it's not surprising...

Then, Roy saw jungles, strange rocks, Kazahana, Snow-Moon... until a dilapidated amusement park came into view.

The Sun-Earring Boy's body stiffened as he keenly noticed that the abandoned amusement park was blocked by a large, rusty iron gate, securely locked.

Roy suddenly turned his head to look at Netero.

I saw the old man's eyes were deep, filled with memories, sentiments, and emotions, and he said quietly, "You are right, this is the impression your grandfather Jie left on me."

Sure enough, Roy put down his fishing rod, stood up, and said directly, "Can I take a look?"

Netero was silent for a moment, then moved his hand and lifted a swimming fish, saying, "No."

Then, with another toss, he cast the fish back into the lake of his heart...

"Why?" Roy, his beautiful silver hair swaying in the wind, the ends shimmering with a golden light, calmly said, "That place isn't just a projection of your soul, it also contains Grandpa Jager's..."

Netero didn't look at Roy, only saying, "It's just that Jager is holding the line and not letting anyone in."

Roy:."

For a moment, silence fell...

After a long while, a green leaf drifted down and fell into the lake, creating ripples. The Sun-Earring Boy remained silent for a long time before asking again, "Did my great-grandfather see it?" Suddenly, a cold Youyou, without waiting for Netero's reply, traveled along the threads of the mind to Roy's ear.

Maha said, "The old man is too lazy to go see!"

In short,

Roy and Netero exchanged a glance, staring at each other in silence.

"Hmm... It seems the old man's anger won't subside anytime soon..." After a while, Netero forced a laugh, grabbed the stick, and pulled up another fish.

The fish thrashed and flicked its tail, splashing some lake water and wetting a corner of Roy's clothes.

The Sun-Earring Boy remained silent for a long while, glancing deeply at the abandoned, closed-off amusement park. He looked again, then withdrew his gaze, having lost interest in continuing to explore the depths of his soul. He turned to look at Netero, then... was startled again!

A Youyou bell chime, like the grand tolling of a great bell, echoed in Roy's ears.

When his gaze returned to Netero...

Roy's amber eyes suddenly lit up with two beams of divine light, clearly seeing...

The old man, dressed in loose robes and with white eyebrows, exuded a leisurely air. Behind him sat a tall and majestic Buddha Hall!

This Buddha Hall, with its dome supported by dozens of thick pillars, had no couplets, no Buddhist verses, not even... a wooden fish.

Looking through the double doors, there was only a towering statue of Guanyin, wearing a jeweled crown and a necklace, with willow-leaf eyebrows, slightly open eyes, slightly pursed lips, full earlobes, and full cheeks, a slight smile on her face, dignified and looking down...

So dignified and majestic!

But that slightly smiling gaze, perhaps because of her immense height, made people look down on her as if she were ants, forcing them to crane their necks... Only by straining their necks could they see through her shoulders a hundred arms suddenly reaching out from behind her!
