Mangekyō X A Sun That Saves All

I'm determined to see him through, inside and out...

"Young in age, but with good health and vitality,"

"Determined mind, strong Nen Ability,"

"When he looked at us, he was initially only slightly surprised, but then quickly seemed to understand, which shows... he's quick-witted and has a good reaction time,"

"Even the hair color is the same as His Majesty's, and... the ends even shimmer with gold, making it look even more dazzling than His Majesty's."

One gaze after another... belonging to Brook Sael, to Severus, to Blake Shaw, converged on Roy. In just an instant, Roy felt as if he had been forced to the center of a stage, under the spotlight of thousands of lights. Those with fragile hearts might have their legs go weak on the spot, their knees would buckle uncontrollably, and they would stagger and collapse to the ground.

But Roy didn't. The Sun-Earring Boy's back stood as straight as a javelin. His front foot had barely peeked over the last step when his back foot... firmly planted on the step, facing the scrutinizing gazes of thousands, unmoved. He looked up again, his gaze passing through Brook Sael, through Severus, through Relton Shaw, straight to the center of the palace, where a broken crown rested quietly on the weathered throne, steeped in history and epic tales... Roy's eyes flickered, and a sigh echoed Youyou in his ears...

Everyone knows that immortals are good, but unfortunately... if they don't become gods, they will eventually become ants.

Netero stood to Roy's right, following the Sun-Earring Boy up to the Royal Court. He saw the shattered crown, its former luster long gone, the top shaped like the Chinese character for "mountain," with a corner cut off. He glanced sideways at Maha...

The old man, expressionless, completely ignored Netero. After berating Jager with a sneer, he grabbed Roy and, as if holding an exhibit, addressed Brook Sael, Severus, and the other former followers. "Don't say I didn't show you. Now you've seen him."

"That's my grandson... Roy Zoldyck." (Note: Maha is Roy's great-great-grandfather, that is, his grandfather's grandfather. For convenience, he is referred to as "grandson.")

"Brook Sael greets the young master!"

"Severus greets the young master!"

"Boom!" In the center of the palace, two groups of men and women, one on the left and one on the right, led by two burly giants, pushed over mountains and jade pillars, placed their right hands on their chests, knelt on one knee, and respectfully bowed to Roy.

The sound was so loud and powerful that it nearly tore a large hole in the dome of the royal palace, and rubble rained down in a continuous stream...

"Believer..." Netero stood beside Roy, subtly shifting his position to make room for the grandfather and grandson... He was quite sensible; as a "guest," he shouldn't overshadow the "host"—that's good manners and character...

The old man, with white eyebrows and a white beard, watched silently from the side. His gaze swept over the tall figures in the front row... With his keen eyes, he instantly recognized them... these leading generals, who had fought alongside Maha, each possessed a formidable aura... even the leader...

Those two, Brook Sael and Severus, gave him a vague sense of danger, and that feeling...

I don't know how many Sun-Earring Boy it's been since he thought of her, at least... "Little Bo" (Botobai) couldn't do it!

As Netero raced, he narrowed his old eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashing within them.

"Whoosh~" A gentle breeze swept across the lake, causing the tall, almost city-high grass on the dilapidated square of the Royal Court to sway in the wind...

Roy said gently, "Please rise, uncles and elders."

With a casual wave of his hand, he used [Wind Release] to create dozens of gentle breezes, which multiplied into ten, a hundred, a thousand... In the blink of an eye, they split into thousands upon thousands of gentle breezes, which successively helped Brook Sael, Severus, and the others to their feet...

Even though they had already guessed Roy's identity, and even... could tell from the quality of Roy's out-of-body thoughts.

Roy's mental strength was considerable, but this one move ensured that everyone was treated equally, taking care of everyone. Brook Sael and Severus exchanged a glance, then stood up, their eyes gleaming with suppressed excitement and agitation that instantly surfaced...

"May I ask, young master, have you, like His Majesty, embarked on... the path of [Faith]?"

Brook Sael was a burly man with a thick red beard, a high nose, deep-set eyes, and an extremely tall stature, easily three meters. His chest, back, arms, and thighs were all covered in thick nail plates, which rattled loudly when he spoke, drawing everyone's attention...

Upon hearing this, Roy didn't answer immediately, but instead glanced discreetly at Maha beside him... He thought that as "memories" living in his great-grandfather's heart, Brook Sael, Severus, and the others might already know that he had embarked on the Path of Faith. Who knew... that his great-grandfather hadn't told them before?

As Brook Sael finished speaking, Netero also turned his head to look over...

, ,,,, ,,..., V5,"",,"",...,,,,,...·,,,...""...,...!

"No matter how strong an individual's power is, it's difficult to withstand the power of the masses... That's why [God] is [God]..." The words that Youyou Jager had once spoken still echoed in his ears... Netero remained silent, seemingly lost in reminiscence. Beside him, Maha, whose head Roy was staring at, said expressionlessly, "Without hope, there will be no disappointment..."

Maha's hazy, half-closed gaze swept over Brook Sael and Severus, then at one moment, he reached out and grabbed Betty Zoldyck's hand, saying softly, "They're all dead. What's the point of telling them?"

Death is like a lamp going out; memories are just memories... Roy remained silent, looking up at the living faces of Brook Sael and Severus, as if they were truly standing before him. The Sun-Earring Boy raised his right hand, spread his fingers, and tucked them into his hair, just as he had said to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni earlier... Truth and falsehood are nothing but illusions, a confident smile subtly curving his lips as he said, "Great-Grandpa, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said, much less... agree..."

The Sun-Earring Boy stepped forward, slightly raised his chin, and smiled as he looked at the two giants before him, and the men and women standing behind them, saying, "That's right, I have indeed embarked on the [Path of Faith], and..."

Roy paused, and under the watchful eyes of Netero, Maha, and Brook Severus, who Sael exchanging excited glances, he declared decisively, "I have a way to resurrect you all."

"Boom!" Like a stone thrown into a still pond, the dilapidated palace of the Royal Court suddenly fell silent, as if someone had pressed the Shizune button. Then... less than two breaths later, a huge uproar erupted!

Many people were visibly looking at each other, whispering amongst themselves!

In the world of Hunter x Hunter, resurrection is not entirely impossible. At least, in Roy's opinion, the original work has already shown three ways to achieve it.

1. Resurrection through [Post-Mortem Nen], such as Hisoka, Jed... By planting a strong emotional seed in oneself during life, activating [Post-Mortem Nen] or [Resentment], the purpose of resurrection is achieved. 2. [Reincarnation], retaining all memories of the previous life, and being reborn in another person's womb with those memories, such as... Kite, and his Nen Ability... [Absolute Immortality]. 3. Making a wish to one's unborn younger brother Alluka, using the [Nanika]'s twisted mechanism to "wish" for resurrection, such as... Gon...

In short, resurrection is not impossible. "Your Majesty... is what the young master said... true?"

Will we ever see the light of day again?

"Your Majesty... Young Master... I don't need to be resurrected... Anyway, I'm just a worthless life, there's no point in living. But my son is still young. If he has the chance... I hope he can be reborn and see our world properly..."

"Yes, Your Majesty... Young Master, my granddaughter is not even a year old yet. She doesn't understand anything. If she could be resurrected, could you give her my place? I'm old and can't move around much. I didn't help Your Majesty much in life, so it's no pity if I die..."

"Whoosh~" Another breeze swept across the lake, carrying with it the whispers that grew louder and louder... Visibly, several memories living in Maha's heart, some holding their infant granddaughters, others leading their daughters and sons, bowed deeply to Maha and Roy.

Suddenly, a sharp shout rang out, followed by a roar from the thunder dragon in the dome, which exploded across the sky!

"Shut up!"

Then, Brook Sael suddenly turned around, his remaining Nen Qi, imbued with killing intent, swept across the crowd with a devastating [training]... annihilating all the prayers and clamor...

At that moment, the man turned and, clutching his chest, solemnly apologized to Maha and Roy, saying, "Your Majesty, I have failed in my duties. Please punish me, Young Master..."

Roy glanced at Maha; the old man was withered and had long lost his former glory. If it weren't for the fact that he was so close, and that Roy could vaguely see through his "Eye of Truth" that could see through illusions, he could sense a terrifyingly abundant and undeniable power lurking within his great-grandfather, a vast and powerful force that appeared dormant like a volcano...

Roy remained silent, watching Maha alongside Netero. He slowly stepped forward, his head nearly bald, bent down, knelt, and took Brook 'Sael arm, personally helping him up. He said gently, "What's wrong with wanting to live?"

"Brook,"

Severus,

"Resemble,"

As Maha's gaze swept across the room, he gently called out the names of the others, then turned and gave Roy a deep look, saying, "You died because of me, and as your king, I should bear the responsibility of bringing you back to life."

"The strange thing is, I'm too weak. I lack the ability, and this is the only way I can preserve a trace of everyone's true spirit. So, if anyone's at fault... the one at fault isn't you, but... me..."

After speaking, Maha bowed solemnly in front of everyone... Perhaps it was because he had been holding it in for a long time, or perhaps... he didn't want to relive the pain of the past. As the old man bent down and lowered his head, Roy vaguely saw Maha quietly let out a sigh of relief, as if he had finally released all the pent-up feelings he had kept inside all these years... This left Roy and Netero speechless with emotion.

The nation's sacrifice was undoubtedly heroic, but Arima and his followers who believed in him and unconditionally saw him as their hope knew the tragedy and pain involved... Just like the Gotoh to Roy, the pillars to Roy, Itachi, Shisui, and the other Uchiha to Roy, the deeper the bond, the more impossible it is to sever, the harder it is to break!

"Are you even confident, kid?" A whispered Nen Telepathy, imbued with Nen Qi, entered Roy's ear. Netero glanced at the Sun-Earring Boy and kindly warned, "Be careful, things might get out of hand."

Roy didn't answer, nor did he speak; he simply opened his mind and invited Netero to observe.

Then... within the [Mind World] formed by the intertwining and collision of [Heart Drop·Fist Listening] and [Heart Drop·Sword Listening].

In the hazy, chaotic mist, a glimmer of light suddenly shot out from the fog...

At first, the light was faint and easily missed, but... as the mental fog gradually cleared, the light grew brighter and more abundant, soon attracting the attention of Netero, Maha, Brook Sael, Severus, and others...

Still reeling from Maha's apology, the men and women, not yet fully aware of what was happening, instinctively looked towards the light's end. In the hazy, nascent world, a crimson sun slowly emerged from behind Roy, radiating light and heat, surrounded by cosmic stars, rising gradually... captivating all who beheld it.

"The sun... Mom, look, it's the sun..."

"Yes... the sun, or... the rising sun!"

Heaven have mercy... how long has it been since they last saw the sun? Some people opened their arms, tilted their heads back, and embraced the sunlight.

Some people closed their eyes, basking in the warm sunlight on their faces, as if watering their hearts, revitalizing their parched souls...

Children break free from their parents' hands and run towards the sun, laughing.

An elderly woman was being pushed around in a wheelchair by her nephews and nieces as she basked in the sun.

As the last wisp of mist dissipated, the red sun leaped over Roy's head, unleashing a thousand rays of dawn and ten thousand beams of light, illuminating the resentment and darkness buried deep in everyone's hearts...

"Squeak~ Squeak~" Dozens of [Heart Bug], following Roy's Thread of Causality, slowly crawled towards the notification on the panel...

[Negative Emotions +1 +1 +1...]

Rapidly propelling... [Yin Release] leaps towards LV5.

[hint...

[Yin Release: LV4: 98256/100,000...]

[Only 1744 points remain to unlock the Mangekyō Sharingan...]
