Great Strength Creates Miracles X Susanoo Appears!
[Mortals] and [Thoughts] are different, and [Thoughts] and [Gods] are also different. They are not beings from the same dimension, so how can they be compared?
That was blasphemy against God, and an insult to the Zoldyck, the true "pillars of heaven and earth, beams of gold across the sea"...
Roy wholeheartedly agreed, recalling how his grandfather Zeno, in the original story, commented on Maha's strength, saying, "Netero is the only one who has fought Maha and is still alive."
While feeling proud, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of sorrow.
One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand. He could never forget the countless graves stretching to the horizon in Maha's dream, nor could he forget the men, women, children, and grandchildren—parents, grandchildren—standing amidst the ruins of the Royal Court in the [Mind World]...
Therefore, those who adhere to individualism will never understand the greatness and sacrifice of collectivism.
Roy murmured to himself, and in an instant, his aura changed!
Behind him, a figure vaguely appeared, sometimes dressed as a child, sometimes as a merchant, sometimes as a geisha, and sometimes as a demon Demon King reigned over all ghosts, ruling the night and whose mere mention of a child's name could stop their crying.
Roy suddenly raised his eyes, then glared at Silva, and activated his Blood Demon Art [Tube Whip]!
"Click... Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
One after another, jagged bones roared and burst forth from various parts of Roy's body.
Upon appearing, it transformed into hundreds of [Tube Sword], catching Silva off guard and stabbing Silva!
This immediately caught Silva completely off guard!
"What is this?!"
"Could this also be an application of Nen Ability?"
A kilometer away, on a large tree, Kurajing, holding binoculars, watched in shock as Roy instantly transformed into a hedgehog, each quill a sharp sword aimed at Silva!
Suddenly his eyes widened, and he asked Tsubone.
The old housekeeper, with two pink ponytails hanging down her back, her wrinkled face visibly changed, slowly shook her head. "I don't know either."
Tsubone stared intently at the battlefield, watching the "Nen Barrier" surrounding Silva. "Crack... crack..."
Snap... Having been pierced with hundreds of holes, it was forced to retreat rapidly, releasing the [Hard] restraints on [Snow Walk] and [Eclipse]. It was certain... that wasn't one of the Four Major Principles, nor was it [Firm][Hard][Round]
[Flow] Any advanced application technique of Nen is more like...
The Young Master master possesses yet another Nen Ability that he has never shown before!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
[Tube Sword], like a whip, used Roy's open [Circle] to pinpoint Silva's location, as if equipped with a GPS system, chasing Silva with a hundred flying swords, a hundred streaks of light, carrying Roy's "Nen," howling through the mountains and forests, transforming into a mighty "torrent of swords," relentlessly pursuing Silva.
In a fleeting moment, it grazed the large tree where Netero was standing, splitting it open along its roots in an instant, causing it to collapse with a crash!
"Guild Master!" the Beans cried out in alarm, suddenly feeling his feet slip and plummeting towards the ground. Luckily, Netero intervened in time, catching him by the back of the collar and leaping to Zeno's side, preventing him from being smashed into a pulp. "Zeno, this doesn't seem like [Conjuration]..." Netero's gaze followed the Tube Sword, glancing at Zeno out of the corner of his eye... Transforming into a hundred swords, it should clearly be [Transmutation]...
But to that child, "It's not like you've never seen him [cross-sector] before," Zeno calmly, his white hair swaying wildly, suppressing his surprise and pretending to be calm as he watched Roy relentlessly pursue Silva with his "bone sword."
Netero gave a noncommittal hum, recalling how the Sun-Earring Boy had imitated the [Human-Faced Ape] in the Lost Mellow region during the Hunter Exam —a [Deception] Transmutation —and remarked with a touch of melancholy, "Those who walk that path certainly have many tricks up their sleeves, but..."
"With this level of skill, it's not enough to cause any harm to Silva."
Skill lies in refinement, not quantity... Netero's insight is truly astute; with just one glance, he noticed... Roy's [Tube Sword], though sharp and numerous, lacked the fluency and dexterity of his [Snow Walk] and [Eclipse] swords. It could only be said... that they were merely a temporary tactic he used to force Silva to retreat...
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" A hundred swords flew across the lake, carving out ripples...
Silva, using the [Shadow Step], moved with the agility of a shadow. Initially caught off guard, he quickly regained his composure, testing the limits of [Tube Sword]. Suddenly, he paused, turned, and flicked his wrist, sending a [Nen Bullet] the size of a human head hurtling towards [Tube Sword]. Its power was certainly no less than that of... Razor, a top-tier [Emission] expert!
"Boom!" The Nen Bullet collided with the Tube Sword and exploded instantly!
The circular shockwave, carrying splattered Nen Qi, rained down like bullets, "Thud... thud... thud..." piercing through countless large trees!
A few birds, however, were too blind and struck the big tree where Tsubone, Kurajing, and Kurapika were standing, leaving several holes the size of bowls!
Tsubone's expression changed, and he quickly made a move, grabbing Kurajing and Kurapika in each hand and leaping into the mountains behind them!
It's laughable that she thought a kilometer was a safe enough distance; now, looking back...
For the master and the Young Master master, one kilometer is far from enough!
"Hmph... Hmph... Hmph..." The Nen Qi emanating from the explosion also affected Zeno and Netero.
With a flick of their sleeves, the two dispersed the shockwaves. Looking back at the battlefield, at the very center of the aftershocks, Silva and Roy stood silently facing each other. At a moment, they simultaneously raised their hands... One after another, Nen Bullet projectiles collided with the Flying Slash, amplifying the impact and illuminating the bright white sky and sun. The white was so dazzling that it was impossible to see what was happening inside!
Until a soft voice said, "Open it!"
Suddenly, a blazing red light pierced through the barrage of slashes and Nen Qi, striking Silva squarely in the chest at near-light speed, sending him and the Nen Bullet projectile flying!
Netero and Zeno exchanged a glance, only then noticing the intense red light surging in Roy's eyes, like... Laser!
Netero looked at Roy strangely, "Wow... Emission!"
He reached up and stroked his beard, glancing again at the Kurta siblings who had been led away by Tsubone, thinking to himself, "That kid's eyes are even redder than Scarlet Eyes."
He glanced at her again, then looked away, glancing at Zeno and saying, "It seems your butler has also become Believer of this kid Roy."
"Right, where's that guy with the thick beard, always wearing gold-rimmed glasses, the one who always Zoldyck next to Roy Zoldyck?" Netero's reminder brought Beans back to Gotoh.
However... "You saw him yesterday," Netero said quietly, giving the Beans a hint, "He's inside the cocoon."
Beans paused, then saw Zeno with his hands behind his back, saying quietly, "It's not surprising that the Zoldyck's butler is only loyal to the Zoldyck and has become Believer."
The Beans unconsciously moved closer to Netero, recalling all the encounters with the Zoldyck along the way, which made him vaguely uncomfortable... Just as he was Netero's secretary, Gotoh, Tsubone, and even that girl who seemed to be from the Kurta Clan, were not like secretaries or butlers to Roy and Silva, but rather... more like... assassins!
A loyal bodyguard who would die for his master!
"Splash..." In the battlefield, on that clear pool, after being struck by Roy's sudden [Laser] attack, Silva rolled on the surface of the pool like a stone, carving out a ravine nearly 500 meters long until he reached the shore, crashing through four or five large trees before finally stopping!
The man was soaking wet, as if embedded in a tree. He felt a faint Scorching Heat sensation in his chest, and looking down, he saw a small hole suddenly appear in the hardened area on his body. Inside the hole, his chest cavity was bright red—a scar caused by Laser burning...
How long... Silva himself had forgotten, how long it had been since he'd been injured... He stared blankly at the burn mark on his chest, then looked up, through the ravaged forest, straight into the clear pool, and saw Roy, almost a carbon copy of him, with a head of beautiful silver hair, strolling towards him. Silva slapped his hand back, smashing a large tree to pieces with tremendous force. Amidst the flying wood chips and dust, he straightened his back again, spitting out a jet of blood...
"Unfortunately, the force wasn't strong enough."
The man stretched his neck, and, also with a head of silver hair, emerged from the dust. He strolled up to Roy, gave him a ferocious grin, and said, "Congratulations, you've injured me."
"Step... step..." In a fleeting moment, the clear pool receded behind him. Roy stepped out from the morning glow, his back to the now calm pool. Amidst the shimmering ripples, he smiled slightly at Silva and said, "Father, am I worthy?"
Silva remained silent, only Youyou delivering a straight punch that struck Roy squarely in the face. This time, no matter how Roy dodged, or even if he activated [Eye of Truth] or [Transparent World] beforehand to predict Silva's attack route, Silva still managed to...
That slow, Youyou punch still defied his expectations, striking him squarely in the face and sending him flying!
"Bang!" The Sun-Earring Boy flew back into the clear pool like a ball, his head submerged in the icy water, dazed... completely unable to understand why such a slow punch had hit him, especially since he had activated his [Eye of Truth] to foresee the attack and had [Light Release] ready to escape at any moment...
"It's a [force field],"
"Silva, he... he's getting serious..." Zeno tapped the tree with his toes, instantly unleashing his [En]. Seeing Silva strike Roy in the face, he dove back into the pool, chasing after Roy's landing point, swimming swiftly, his eyes flashing as he spoke in a deep voice.
Beside him, Netero's eyebrows twitched, and he murmured, "It seems he's not so small-minded."
Since it's a... [force field], then it means using [force] as the object of Visualization for practice. However...
What is force? It is the interaction between objects, the external factor that causes objects to accelerate and deform!
It inherently possesses three elements: the magnitude of the force, its direction, and its point of application.
Judging from Silva's posture just now... Netero instantly understood -
He shortened the force line within his own force field, directly applying the point of impact of his fist to Roy, the recipient. In short, as long as someone is within his force field, he can guarantee a perfect hit!
"I've said it before, Silva's stubbornness is no less than Roy's," Zeno, seemingly sensing Netero's guess, used [Circle] to catch Silva's high whip kick, striking Roy squarely in the chin, instantly sending him flying from underwater into the air. Looking up at Roy's shattered jaw, revealing jagged teeth and flying flesh, he said eerily, "So he's been competitive since childhood, believing only in his own strength, which is why he is where he is now..."
"Hmm, you didn't lose unjustly back then," Netero said, slightly raising his chin, offering a hint of approval. "But, being so ruthless, be careful the old man doesn't get angry..."
Zeno said nonchalantly, "Grandpa wouldn't."
Why not?
"Just watch, this little injury is nothing to Roy..."
"Huh? A shattered chin is considered a minor injury?"
Netero glanced towards the dimly lit room in the Zoldyck Family Ancient Castle. The television hanging on the south wall clearly reflected Roy's miserable state, but both Maha and Betty remained expressionless, nestled together in their rocking chairs, seemingly enjoying themselves...
Netero slowly, then withdrew his gaze in surprise, looking at Roy. He saw the Sun-Earring Boy being thrown into the higher space in a disheveled state. Suddenly, several fleshy tentacles sprouted from Roy's already shattered jaw, enveloping the broken bones, teeth, and severed fascia. With a writhing motion, they reconstructed a new jaw, embedding it beneath Roy's exposed jawbone...
Netero:
Suddenly I understood what Zeno meant by "insignificant"!
"This child is a monster!" The Beans exclaimed, his mouth agape in shock. "He can heal his injuries on his own?!"
"Don't make a fuss," Zeno glanced casually at the Beans and said nonchalantly, "You haven't seen what he looks like turned into mincemeat."
The image of Roy and his Zoldyck is still vivid in my mind... That horrific scene was far more tragic than what we see now...
The Beans was visibly stunned... He seemed not to believe Zeno's words, but when he looked up at Roy, who had recovered completely, as if his jaw hadn't been shattered by Silva's kick, he stood there like a wooden stake... completely dumbfounded...
However, "If he can't escape Silva's [force field], he'll still be beaten one-sidedly." Netero squinted as Silva suddenly emerged from underwater, raised his fist the size of a bowl, bypassed Roy, and came from behind to deliver a fierce [cannon punch] to the Sun-Earring Boy's chest, saying bluntly, "Once his Nen Qi runs out, there'll be no way to explain it."
Zeno remained silent for a long while, then, as Silva's fist touched Roy's chest, he said in a deep voice, "Then we can only see if he has any other tricks up his sleeve."
As soon as the words were spoken, suddenly—
A crimson glint slowly crept into Roy's eyes, followed by a "click" sound as a massive blue arm emerged from behind him, blocking Roy path!
