What is that?!

The sudden turn of events struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer blow!

Netero and Zeno narrowed their eyes sharply, their pupils dilating violently as they saw...

A giant blue hand suddenly emerged from behind Roy, like a giant extending its arm, protruding its bones, gathering muscle fibers, covering its skin, and endowing its blood vessels with the power of blood. Just in time, it blocked Silva's attack, solidly stopping it!

Nearly two kilometers away, on a large tree, Tsubone and Kurapika stared in horror. Even Kurapika, an ordinary Sun-Earring Boy whose Aura Nodes had not yet been opened, felt an almost instinctive sense of great terror in the world at that moment!

"Boom!" A loud bang, like a morning bell or evening drum, shattered the clouds in the sky.

Silva used the [force field] to shorten the [force line] and unleashed a powerful [cannon fist] that struck the arm of [Susanoo] head-on. As the flame armor covering [Susanoo] trembled slightly, the man immediately felt an unprecedented and immense force descend upon him, sending him flying in an instant!

"The nature of conceptualization is [illusory appearance], the nature of dependent origination is [relative appearance], and the nature of perfect reality is [absolute appearance]," Netero said solemnly, watching Silva fly higher and higher like a kite with a broken string until he became a black dot on the horizon. "This is [Dharma appearance]!"

[The Dharma Form], also known as [The Dharma of Heaven and Earth], is a phenomenon that encompasses both extension and connotation, and is also the ultimate manifestation of the [Mind Conjuration] of those with the Nen user!

Just like he has his [100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva], Zeno has his [Dragon Head], all these displays are the insights that these old fogies have gained after decades of immersing themselves in [Nen Ability].

But this small insight, seemingly to the Sun-Earring Boy who suddenly extended Susanoo's arm high in the sky, was nothing more than a matter of two or three years, and he had completed the journey that had taken him and Zeno decades.

Netero glanced at Zeno sideways. "You know?"

Zeno rubbed his hands together behind his back, thinking, "Should I know?"

He forced himself to remain calm, feigning nonchalance, and remained silent... Netero frowned, then glanced again at the dimly lit room on the first floor of the Zoldyck Family Ancient Castle...

In the dimly lit room, the rocking chair suddenly appeared... Maha and Betty, who were enjoying themselves and sleeping in each other's arms, seemed to be awakened by a ray of sunlight shining in from the window. They slowly opened their eyes and stood up from the chair!

"Maha, Roy's finally starting to look decent..." Betty Zoldyck took Maha's arm, watching Roy display his Susanoo form. Instead of stopping, she increased her Nen Qi output, fully unleashing Susanoo. He reached out, his chest expanded, his back arched, a head sprouted, and he donned the armor of the sun halo. His left hand condensed the Shield of Daybreak, while his right hand drew the Sword of Zenith from the dawn. Suddenly, two blazing flames ignited in his empty pupils, and he roared!

"Roar~" An invisible force, surpassing sound waves, swept across the sky...

"Splash... splash... splash..." Looking across the entire Kukuroo Mountain, whether it was flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, even... Mike couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Their limbs went weak with fear, and they whimpered and crawled on the ground!

King, you shall rule the world!

The scene playing on the television screen awakened Maha's memories. As Maha watched and listened, the Nen Qi emanating from his head trembled slightly, and different faces slowly appeared... Among them were Brook Sael, Severus, Blake Shaw, and countless others who followed him, yearning for a better life, willing to sacrifice themselves, even... the entire nation perished... At this moment, they all seemed to be excitedly thrilled!

Someone said, "I've seen this before."

Someone said, "Your Majesty, you seem familiar..."

Some stared intently... some were lost in memories... and many more, their faces flushed, shouted... as if trying to awaken from their silence.

Maha allowed his Nen Qi to be consumed at an alarming rate. He stood in front of the television, watching this scene quietly with his subjects and subordinates, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Betty, you're right, the child... is finally starting to look like a normal person..."

"Crack... crack... crack..." In the sky, beside the clear pool, the constantly armed [Susanoo] finally revealed its full form. Although Roy's current "Nen power" and "eye power" were insufficient to support [Susanoo]...

Entering the fourth stage, humanoid form...

But even so...

When the half-body [Susanoo], holding the [Sword of Zenith] overflowing with the halo of the sun in his left hand and the [Shield of Daybreak] wrapped in the morning glow in his right hand, sat in the Kukuroo Mountain, his height of several hundred meters still made everyone in the Zoldyck family, including the butler and apprentice, tremble with fear and could only look up at him!

"Nii-san, is this your true strength?"

Deep within Kukuroo Mountain, about five hundred meters from the clear pool, Illumi, his long, flowing black hair cascading down his back, leaned against a surviving tree, staring blankly at Roy, whose [Susanoo] emanated a head of silver hair from the very center of his chest. A turbulent emotion churned in his empty eyes, an emotion that remained unsettled for a long time...

He wasn't unaware of Nii-san's strength, and he had long since given up the idea of competing with Nii-san. In the past two years, after realizing the gap between them, his only desire was to be able to stand beside him and not fall too far behind. Illumi felt that he would be satisfied.

But now... does he truly possess the strength to stand beside Nii-san?

Illumi's thoughts were in turmoil, his emotions surging as he kept recalling Roy's words of advice. "You must cultivate diligently, lest you truly be surpassed by Gotoh."

The Sun-Earring Boy narrowed his eyes, reached out and grasped the [God Spear Wood Nail] that Roy had given him as a birthday present, and murmured, "Gotoh can do, I can do too. I'm no worse than him!"

"Buzz..." In the Butler Villa, in Gotoh's bedroom, as the Blood Cocoon trembled, a wisp of thought Youyou emerged from it...

"Is that you, Young Master?"

Yes... is this still the Young Master?

To be precise... is the Young Master master even human?

The beasts lay prostrate, and the heavens and earth fell silent!

Tsubone, carrying Kurapika and his sister, had clearly increased the distance, but when she noticed that [Susanoo] had crashed into the forest like a small mountain, the old butler, swinging her two pink ponytails, still felt she hadn't retreated enough. She hurriedly grabbed Kurajing and Kurapika and continued to flee, "Whoosh... whoosh..." The wind whistled past her ears...

Silently sensing the terrifying atmosphere, Kurapika, held in Tsubone's hand with his eyes slightly lowered, landed again after a few breaths of trekking. Unable to contain himself any longer, he asked, "Sister, what did you see?"

Kurajing grabbed Tsubone's hand, opened his Aura Nodes, and channeled a Nen Qi to Kurapika's body, coating his eyes with a layer of [condensation], saying, "See for yourself."

Kurapika suddenly felt his eyes brighten considerably. Before he could even ask questions, he looked up and his mouth snapped open. His amber eyes, suddenly swirling with emotion, turned Scarlet Eyes, a stark contrast to his initial encounter with the spider in the original story. This showed just how intense his emotional turmoil truly was!

"Giant... Giant?"

The blue Susanoo, clad in fiery red armor, with its cloak billowing behind it and imprinted with Great Sun halo, resembled a god, instantly shattering the Sun-Earring Boy's understanding.

He tilted his small head back and looked up with difficulty, like a fish or beast crawling on land or in water, gazing up at [Susanoo]. At a certain moment, he saw... a pair of fiery red wings "Susanoo's ribs, lifting it up and slowly flying into the sky, its purpose... aimed directly at... Silva, who had vaguely turned into a speck on the horizon!

"Whoosh!" The roc spread its wings and soared straight up to ninety thousand miles!

The Susanoo, hundreds of meters tall, soared into the sky, completely blocking out the sunlight from above. Vast stretches of shadow fell, offering Netero and Zeno a rare respite from the sweltering midsummer heat...

Unfortunately, the coolness was insignificant compared to the shock.

"Wow, it can even fly." Netero's eyebrows twitched, thinking of his own [100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva], which, while combining offense and defense, suffered from poor mobility... The old man's eyes blinked, a hint of envy barely perceptible as he said, "You're too late. If you had come a day earlier, you wouldn't just have seen him fly, you'd have seen him fly while riding in a car..."

Zeno, hands behind his back, looked up as Roy chased after Silva, recalling how the Sun-Earring Boy had driven the Three-Legged Golden Crow, piloting the [Sun Chariot].

"On behalf of Heaven, I patrol and inspect..." he said calmly.

Netero's eyes flashed, and he shook his head with a wry smile...

"It seems I've missed something again,"

But that didn't matter anymore; he'd already been shocked enough that day... so much so that he couldn't help but wag his fingers, unable to contain his excitement, eager to try it out.

"Whoosh~" A gust of wind rose, Susanoo spread his wings, and pressed Kukuroo Mountain, causing them to bend over!

Soon, they caught up with Silva and closed in on him from behind!

"Whoosh..." The wind tugged at my face, making it feel tight... The flames hissed as they burned.

Silva, who had just been sent flying by Roy's Silva, forcibly stopped mid-air, adjusted his breathing, paused, and looked back... The Susanoo, so close at hand, stared at him with two eyes burning like the Great Sun.

That suffocating sense of oppression can only be truly understood by those who have experienced it firsthand!

"Hehehe... Hahaha..." Silva laughed wildly!

His silver hair danced wildly, his face twisted and ferocious, his hawk-like gaze fixed menacingly on Roy was nestled within Susanoo's chest, and he said, "Good!"

"Very good!"

Then, his smile vanished instantly, and instead of retreating, he charged forward, heading straight for [Susanoo]!

He shouted in a deep voice, "Full force field activation!"

"Buzz..." An invisible wave instantly enveloped Roy and his entire Susanoo...

It appeared in the form of lines before Silva!

They became his primary target and the point of attack!

"Bang... bang... bang..." One hit, two hits, three hits, four hits, ten hits, a hundred hits, a thousand hits!

The fists and feet wrapped around [Hard] rained down on [Susanoo] like cannonballs, relentlessly striking it like Basho!

With the support of the [force field], the force lines were cut off. So-called "precognition" and "Transparent World" were meaningless in the face of "guaranteed hit"... Therefore, after realizing this, Roy simply summoned [Susanoo]. Relying on its powerful defense, it could withstand the punches and kicks that were not much weaker than Silva's missiles, while looking for an opportunity.

"That line of thinking is fine."

"The key... is in consumption..."

Will Silva break Roy's turtle shell first, or will Roy exhaust Silva's strength first...? Netero's sharp eyes caught Roy's thoughts in an instant. He watched intently, and casually scooped up the Beans was about to fall off the tree because his legs were weak.

This is insane... absolutely insane... I told you, I shouldn't have come here.

Its tiny, bean-sized eyes were filled with exhaustion. The Beans simply sat down on a tree branch, hugged its head, and stopped looking up at the sky, muttering complaints under its breath... Beside it, Zeno remained expressionless, staring only at the sky, watching the attack and defense. At a certain moment, a crack appeared on the Susanoo's chest armor with a "crack," and then Silva seized the opportunity, punching through it and penetrating inside...

Roy's eyes flashed, realizing that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived!

"Sleep..." A Youyou dream escaped Roy's lips, and his Mangekyou Mangekyō, imbued with a nebula-like Sharingan and tinged with a chilling crimson, suddenly glared at Silva!

His eye power surged forth like a torrent, instantly lunging towards Silva!

With the enhancement of [Illusion Jutsu], which is no less powerful than [Tsukuyomi], the Blood Demon Art of Rebirth Enmu... [Forced Hypnosis] Silva Silva's pupils squarely in the center!

Even though his fist was about to hit Roy, and the force of the punch was almost touching Roy's face... Silva suddenly felt an intense drowsiness wash over him, frantically pulling him away, closing his eyes, stopping his punch, and falling towards the endless abyss!

"Whoosh... whoosh..." A faint sound of wind whistling could be heard in my ears...

Time, space, like his [force field], presented colorful lines, fading away one by one before his eyes...

In the blink of an eye, it seemed that he was the only one left in the world, floating in the endless void, unable to figure out the north, south, east, west, or where to go, until... he fell to the ground!

See-

Sun-Earring Boy, almost a carbon copy of him, leaning on a single sword, a red sun hanging behind his head, waited silently for him in a place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers...

Silva, with her flowing silver hair, landed slowly on her feet. She looked at Roy intently one last time and said, "This is a dream, isn't it?"

To depart from the illusory and return to the real, to depart from the real and return to the illusory, the interplay of illusion and reality creates a hazy, indistinct atmosphere...

The man quickly recalled the night he met Roy in his dream, that embrace he thought would be a "break the ice," but afterwards, it also became the object of the Sun-Earring Boy's teasing and joking. Far off...

Seeing Roy smile, the Sun-Earring Boy raised his knife, revealing two rows of white teeth. "Father, you are wise."

"I have a knife, but it's inconvenient to use it in real life, so I have no choice but to offer it here for your appreciation..."

Silva crossed his arms. "What knife?"

Roy's expression turned serious. He held his sword horizontally in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Nuclear Explosion Slash!"
