Why Does the Buddha's Fury Manifest? Facing the God
After saying that, Roy and Silva exchanged another glance and smiled at each other.
Illumi:
His gaze shifted, looking at Roy and then at Silva, before the two of them took another step and, supporting each other, walked towards the Ancient Castle.
The Sun-Earring Boy's smooth, black hair swayed in the wind, his eyes slightly lowered, and he silently followed...
As noon approached, the sun shone brightly, piercing through the lush green forest and casting dappled shadows on the father and his two sons, stretching their shadows long and thin...
After a few minutes, feeling his depleted Nen Qi recover somewhat after a brief respite, Roy said gently to Silva, "Father, I can walk by myself."
Silva remained silent, simply supporting Roy's bottom and carrying him on his back. After a while, he said, "I won't have many chances to carry you."
Roy paused slightly, recalling the past, and through the Nen Qi emanating naturally from Silva's head, he saw a firm yet cherished... gold, and smiled warmly, "Okay."
Silently, she lay down on Silva's back...
"Tap... tap..." The three of them walked, their footsteps leaving several shallow footprints on the tree-lined path.
Illumi, standing beside Silva with envy and opened his mouth to say, "How about I do it?"
"Dad, you take a break, I'll carry Nii-san!"
Silva glanced at him indifferently, Illumi immediately shut his mouth, focusing on the road ahead and saying nothing more.
Roy found it amusing but didn't say anything more. Lost in thought, he glanced at the panel; this battle had unknowingly provided him with a considerable amount of experience points.

Rating: B (Slightly better Silva, and in no way inferior to Neferpitou, Youpi, and Shaiapouf)
Evaluation: Top-tier, below the peak (The host has already stepped into the ranks of the strong; as long as they remain at or above B-level, their life is safe).
Roy glanced at the evaluation, finding the notion of "life without worry" somewhat ironic, even now that he had genuinely reached the level of Neferpitou, Shaiapouf, and Youpi.
"Tick-tock... tick-tock..." The Curse branded on the back of his left hand continued to count down his life like a clock. Although he had made some progress during this time, delaying his progress somewhat, his B-rank strength was clearly insufficient in the face of that unknown being, let alone dispel its gaze, or even... dream of standing before it with a sword...
The Sun-Earring Boy's joy at victory vanished instantly. As if sensing something, Silva shifted his gaze back, glanced at him, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing,"
"What is it?" Illumi asked through Silva, also noticing that Roy's expression was off. It wasn't due to weakness, but rather... the heaviness in his heart. The Sun-Earring Boy's cat-like face approached Roy, staring intently into his empty eyes, and asked, "Why are you sighing?"
"I don't."
You have it in your heart.
Roy:
After a moment of silence, he forced a smile and said, "Alright."
"I just feel that I'm still too weak."
Silva X Illumi:
Roy's lips twitched, and he suddenly felt himself being thrown onto the mountain road.
"Go on your own." Before the Sun-Earring Boy could react, he glanced at Silva again. The man, with his flowing silver hair, said without turning his head, and in an instant, with Shadow Step, disappeared into the dense forest like a ghost...
A Youyou mountain breeze blew by, widening the distance between the father and son.
Roy tilted his head and asked Illumi, "What's he angry about?"
Illumi glared at him coldly, then turned and walked away, saying, "Because you went too far."
Following in Silva's footsteps, he used Shadow Step and with a few leaps, disappeared from Roy's sight.
"Hehehe... It's good for young people to be humble, but if they're too humble, they won't be well-liked..." In the dense forest, with a clear pool beside him, a figure appeared in front of Roy with a flick of a robe sleeve. The figure stood shoulder to shoulder with Roy, watching Silva and Illumi, before heading towards the mountain peak, casually glancing at Roy.
Roy's expression turned serious, but he quickly regained his composure and shrugged frankly, saying, "I was just telling the truth."
Netero grunted and stroked his beard, saying, "However, sometimes the truth hurts far more than a lie."
"The strange thing is..."
"You're different now, Roy..." The Strongest Human in the world looked intently at the Sun-Earring Boy and said, "Your strike was astonishing!"
The dazzling slash, as bright as the sun, actually unleashed power no less than that of [The Poor Man's Rose]. Netero had to admit that, just now in his dream, the moment the Sun-Earring Boy revealed that slash, his heart, which had been tempered over the years and was long since calm, showed a sense of danger for the first time!
This was Sun-Earring Boy no one had ever given him since his journey to the Dark Continent, except... Maha!
"Not enough," Roy said, his deep, clear eyes fixed intently on Netero. "At least, you can handle it, can't you?"
Netero narrowed his eyes, put his hands on his hips, and chuckled, "What, Silva not enough? Now you've got your eye on me?"
The Sun-Earring Boy's eyes and fighting spirit seemed genuine. Netero admired this kind of Sun-Earring Boy, just as he had admired King back then. Both were spirited and ambitious. The difference was that King always liked to play tricks and engage in chasing and adventure, unlike Roy who was much more direct. After all, one was an "Ruins Hunter" who loved to explore, and the other was an arrogant "God-Slayer Hunter." Some differences were to be expected.
However, to Netero's surprise, even with nearly a century of experience, he still underestimated the Sun-Earring Boy's ambition...
Roy's beautiful silver hair cascaded down his back, the ends extending into the middle, shimmering with a golden sheen. He neither admitted nor denied it, but frankly stated, "I told someone I'd set an example for him first. If I can win, then... he certainly can too!"
Netero vanished, and he squinted, asking, "Who do you want to beat? And who are you going to set an example for?"
Roy straightened his back, meeting Netero's gaze without fear, and said, "Of course I'll beat you, and set an example for Gotoh!"
Winning against him... Netero had considered it, but setting an example for Gotoh... The old man's lips twitched violently, and he gave a sneer... The Sun-Earring Boy really didn't take him seriously.
Netero flicked his sleeves, his oversized Martial Way uniform billowing in the wind, and calmly looked at Roy, asking, "How long do you need? And how long does he need?"
"One year," Roy said softly, stroking the back of his left hand, feeling the Curse pricking his back. "You know I'm in a hurry. As for Gotoh, 3..."
"It's his decision."
On the mountainside, at the Butler Villa, the Blood Cocoon trembled slightly, its strength becoming even more apparent...
Netero at Roy, as if trying to see into his very soul, and after a moment said, "Very well, I'll be waiting for you."
The person followed the wind and floated away, following Silva, soaring towards the mountain peak and disappearing from Roy's sight in an instant.
"Thump... thump..." The old man's high ponytail disappeared into the sunlight. Not long after he left, Roy glanced back.
Ripples spread across the calm, clear pool. "Splash!" A head of white hair emerged, clutching a plump fish. Zeno broke through the surface, leaped, and floated down beside him...
"Your great-grandfather just specifically asked for fish," the words "One Kill A Day, Active Duty" on his chest were soaked through and looked particularly menacing...
Zeno, carrying the fish, watched Netero disappear into the wind and said calmly, "You shouldn't have been so arrogant."
Roy remained silent, only recalling Maha's teachings: that God and Believer complement each other, just as the superstructure cannot be separated from the economic base, the quality of Believer similarly determines the greatest heights they can reach in the future!
in other words-
"I had no choice." Roy reached out and picked up a green leaf that had drifted down with the wind, looking at its veins as fine, Thread of Causality connecting Kanata of the sky. He said Youyou, "This was also a request my great-grandfather made of me."
Zeno:
He remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"I believe in your future, but Gotoh,"
"I'm sorry, Grandpa really can't imagine any scene."
A person can lie, but not against their conscience... Zeno, carrying the fish, brushed past Roy's shoulder and said, "Let's go."
People followed, using Shadow Step, chasing Netero's retreating figure, out of the forest, and heading towards the ancient Ancient Castle atop the mountain...
In an instant, only the Sun-Earring Boy remained in the lush, dense forest, his back to the shimmering pool, silently recovering his Nen Qi. When his complexion regained some color, Roy took a step forward, his body instantly Photokinesis. Following the sunlight, he chased after Zeno's retreating figure, disappearing towards the mountain peak. In just a few breaths, he returned to the Ancient Castle Ancient Castle, slowly emerging from its long, weathered corridors...
"Young Master... Young Master..." A diverse group of stewards, maids, and gardeners bowed respectfully upon seeing him. After this battle, Roy could clearly sense a deep reverence emanating from them, something he had never felt before... Roy understood, simply giving a soft "hmm" before strolling towards his bedroom. "Tap... tap..." His footsteps echoed through the historic Ancient Castle, drawing many gazes. The Sun-Earring Boy's tall figure had matured into that of an adult, almost as tall as Silva. Passing through the garden, he paused, glancing out the window...
Under a huge, luxurious parasol, Kikyo was playing with Qi in her arms. When he looked over, the electronic eye on the woman's nose flashed noticeably, revealing a complex expression.
"Eeee-yah-yah..." Little Killua, barely born, already showed remarkable talent. He stretched out his tiny arms and legs, shakily propping himself up, trying to crawl on the grass. His beautiful lake-blue eyes, upon spotting Roy, made muffled noises and patted the floor. Soon, Kikyo scooped him up from the ground and carefully cradled him in his arms...
Seeing this, Roy smiled slightly, then turned and disappeared from the window. He walked around the corner and through the corridor, and as usual, as he passed the dimly lit little room, he respectfully bowed inside... A rustling sound came from the curtains, and just then a voice came from inside, making him pause and stop...
"Roy, don't be anxious about the present, and don't worry about the future,"
The old man once said, "When that day comes, I will die before you."
"Creak~" The rocking chair creaked as it rocked, and the faint sound of an animated cartoon drifted from inside... Roy straightened up and peeked into the room. The withered old man was still rocking the chair, listening to the cartoon with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep. When he saw Roy looking over, he slowly opened his eyes and glanced at him...
A gentle stream seemed to flow through Roy's parched heart, and he silently responded with a soft "Mmm~".
"Speak louder, you sound weak and listless," Maha feigned anger.
"Yes, Great-Grandpa." Roy composed himself, raised his voice, and said loudly.
Maha then waved his hand with satisfaction. "Get lost."
The Sun-Earring Boy remained standing still. Seeing this, Maha sat up. "Is there anything else?"
"Yes," Roy said after a long silence, taking a deep breath and looking intently at the old man, "Great-Grandpa, I want to know, just how strong are you!"
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. The being that cast the Curse upon him is clearly a deity. How powerful is He, and what powers He wields? These are questions he must and will inevitably face in the future.
However, at this moment, with Alluka and Adult Gon out of the picture, only Arima... is the only person he can meet who is close to [God]!
Just like what my father said during the great war, he was not a man, but a [god]!
Roy stared intently at Maha, and from afar saw him... stand up.
