The ghost fog dissipated, and the dust that had gathered together completely turned into gas, floating freely in the air.
They did not die, but their vague wishes made them pay an extremely high price.
Instinct drives them to quickly find a living organism that can parasitize.
Oboro felt the ability he was given, the power to travel through time and space.
It's just that when it comes to opening the barrier between the two worlds, the ability he obtained is too weak.
He deliberately described his wish as "traveling through time and space at will." This unlimited request would maximize the exploitation of the power of E's rules, though it's impossible to actually achieve.
Next, he will use the power of rules that he controls to maintain and amplify the rules of Atmosphere and enhance the possibility of self-travel through the world. If he wants the power of rules to produce an effect, he must construct a complete rule equation, including the conditions that need to be completed. Without following any process, it's difficult to produce any effect.
When Oboro was integrated into the power of rules, the will he integrated was "stability," nothing else.
Although the power of rules has no effect, it is enough to maintain and supplement the abilities given to him by Ai, and it can improve the function slightly.
"At this level, I'm afraid it can only be random," Oboro muttered after feeling his own condition.
It's already very good to have this effect. Wanting to travel across the world is just wishful thinking.
Relying solely on E and his personal abilities to ignore the barriers of time and space is just a dream.
If even he could do it, then the tree gods and demon kings would have already left the Dark Continent.
The reason why Oboro was able to succeed was because he was a time traveler, and his soul had already experienced the baptism of time travel and had a certain degree of adaptability. In addition, it was his attainments in the soul Although the tree god was extremely powerful and his control of energy was unimaginable, he had his specialties and might not be better than him in the "subject" of the soul.
As for the Demon King although he also understands the power of the soul, there is still some gap compared to Oboro.
Moreover, the soul of the devil himself does not have the same special characteristics as Oboro's.
Therefore, only Oboro can do such a thing as time travel.
At least that's the case so far.
"Soul weight reduction The reason why my soul is so powerful now is mostly because of the added value of my Nen ability, so the best way is to remove the added 'armor,' leaving only the most real soul body, and dissipate most of the life energy. Before that, I have to release some soul power to act as a guard and protect. Once the soul is split, the strength will be greatly reduced It is still very dangerous on this land. After all, there is still half a year."
His voice was calm yet determined as he continued, "The other thing is after preserving the core of the soul, find a way to leave a useful trump card for the next world."
As Oboro spoke, wisps of black mist emanated from his body and condensed into several spirits.
It was the Ant King Meruem, Netero, and the cat girl Neferpitou.
"I will endow you with the characteristics of soul life but after my ability disappears, you will not have much time to survive in this world. You will simply rely on the soul energy I emit to survive, but this energy has nothing to do with me, just like a flower without roots. After I leave, you'd better find a life to possess or parasitize, otherwise sooner or later you will disappear."
Oboro looked at the three spirits and said calmly.
The three ghost bodies were filled with huge soul power and became like entities.
At first, their eyes were very empty, but as Oboro spoke, they gradually began to glow with the light of "wisdom."
After he finished speaking, the three spirits bowed down in front of Oboro one after another.
Then, Oboro began to act.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to peel off his soul.
This process is extremely painful ordinary people simply cannot endure it. It is like holding a blade and scraping off the flesh from the body bit by bit.
If it is simply absorbing, growing, and becoming one, then unloading one's soul volume will be a huge project. Not to mention half a year, even a few years may not be enough. Fortunately, Thresh, Senna, and Ekko's abilities are obtained through backdoors and are obtained through the use of media, not innate.
His original Nen ability, the 'Endless Fantasy Game Treasure House,' cut off his soul 'one cut after another,' causing the flesh and blood that had been transformed by the ability to quickly weaken and his energy to wither.
The connection between him and the three spirits, the communication between their consciousnesses, were also slowly disappearing However, the three spirits were still protecting him and had not left.
These three soul lives can be seen as the gift that Oboro left to the world after sacrificing himself before leaving the Dark Continent. It is a kind of "life form" that he personally nurtured.
Half a month later, Oboro's life energy dropped to an unprecedented low.
It's not even as good as the level he had before he went to the Dark Continent.
In just a dozen days, he lost a lot of weight, became bony and skinny, and his face was pale.
Sizzle. Sizzle.
But in the air in front of him, there were bursts of strange noises, as if lightning was splashing.
One after another, colorful data blocks that had not been seen for a long time popped out from the air.
As time passed, a circular black shadow in the center of the data block gradually revealed its appearance, as if it was painted by an invisible brush.
Power button!
Face button!
"Starting up"
Listening to the voice that he hadn't heard for so long, Oboro smiled.
The burden reduction was successful!
He can start the second step.
Rely on existing capabilities to pave the way for the next world.
The problem is that he no longer has a clear understanding of soul energy, and can no longer control it as he wishes.
Fortunately, after all, these are the means he once had, even if they have been stripped away now there are still some experience and a little bit of perception left.
He can only rely on his intuition.
Find a way to integrate this ability, the treasure trove of games of the Endless Dreamer, into his own soul.
Can be carried away
The soul had something more than when he crossed over to this world from Earth.
It can be considered as a gift from Hunter x Hunter to him.
"With my current state, I can't create and set up a game comparable to the League In order to successfully travel through time, the simpler the better. If it's too complicated, the time-space barrier won't 'let you pass'."
"Since I am a person with the ability to materialize then"
"Hehe." Oboro stared at the face button and narrowed his eyes.
The last day of the year.
Oboro has finished his work.
All set.
Oboro turned on the system.
All the ratings on the panel have turned gray.
It stayed just before his soul was relieved of its burden.
"I hope that one day in the future, I will come back and continue this unfinished journey." Oboro sighed softly.
He couldn't guarantee whether he could successfully travel through time.
Even if you have tried your best, it is possible that your soul will be completely lost in the turbulence of time and space and perish in some fragmented world.
"The Supreme Will covers many aspects Looking back at my journey so far, it seems that I have been pursuing my own will, with the self as the ultimate and the dominant one But this, in its words, is just one of the manifestations of the Supreme Will"
Oboro smiled slightly.
The "it" referred to in the words is naturally the tree god.
"If you were to rate me, how would you rate me?"
Oboro said to the system.
A number appeared on the panel.
60 points.
"Just passed"
Oboro shook his head.
"Then what will is there that I need to grow and fulfill It represents my will and the belief that comes from the earth."
Two words appeared on the panel again.
Inheritance!
The will to inherit.
Oboro was stunned.
Indeed, looking at what he did in the full-time world, even though he changed some of the power situations in the human world, including the situation of the Hunter Association and the underworld, in reality, his influence on the human world was very limited His personal will was always on his own shoulders.
Moreover, he just wanted to become stronger through his own abilities In this case, this kind of will does not need to be inherited or shared. There is no need to pass it on at all. He just proved himself, that's all.
I just want to prove myself.
In comparison, Netero's inherited will has a more far-reaching impact.
To put it bluntly, no one knows how many generations the human world has reached now, but people in later generations may remember Netero, but they may not be able to remember him especially the hunters.
Even though everything that Oboro has done and the achievements he has made are incomparable to Netero but in some ways, the old man's thoughts and will will be better passed on in the long river of history.
And one day, Oboro will be forgotten.
Just as Netero once commented on him, saying that he is a lone wolf. Since he is a lone wolf, he must be self-centered.
"Inheritance As for the group, compared with individual will, the inheritance of will is indeed very important."
He finally understood.
Inheritance refers to the passing of a torch and the beliefs that are carried forward.
Oboro did accept some "disciples," including Baldy, Kurapika, Menchi and even Gon.
However, he only taught these people to have power but not any thoughts.
Because there is no need Oboro does not need them to fulfill any will or responsibility, nor does he want to change them.
Whatever he wants to accomplish and do, he can do it on his own that's enough.
Why rely on others for things you can do yourself?
In some ways, his heart is empty.
"Inheritance needs to be shouldered, and the perspective of looking at the world also needs to change from the individual Hehe It's quite interesting, why not give it a try. Although I have always believed that my heart is very strong, from the perspective of the tree god's life dimension, it is indeed still lacking The power system of this world of full-time work has always been inseparable from the 'heart', even if I came to the Dark Continent. If my 'heart' is stronger, perhaps I will grow faster What it said was referring to me. If I don't really understand what the Supreme Will represents, I am afraid that even if I continue to grow, I will not be able to evolve to the level of 'God'"
Oboro muttered to himself, picked up two things from his feet and held them in his hands.
One is an empty cigarette box and the other is a diary.
"It's my first time traveling through time It's inevitable to be like this. I'm too nervous and stressed all the time."
His voice softened, becoming almost wistful. "In fact there is something more wonderful than strength, and it has always been by my side, but unfortunately I have never felt it."
Filslily's feelings for himthat woman would give everything for him.
Menchi and his companions admired and respected him as the captain from the bottom of their hearts.
Biscuit, who likes to fight with him on a daily basis, also has an absurd friendship between the two.
And Netero, this old man
The Death of Rita and Fant
Because everyone understands him, they don't care about his indifference and ruthlessness, and will even silently lend a hand and push him to walk forward alone.
What he understands as powerful is strength.
And for some people, his power is the light that he radiates inadvertently.
It could be warmit could be cold
"Humansare really a kind of creature that is both simple and complex."
Oboro smiled silently.
He looked up at the sky, but he didn't know if it was the direction of the island in the lake.
Maybe when he comes back, he will do better than this time.
"I'm sorry."
A mumbling sound.
After saying this, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
The breath gradually became weaker and finally disappeared.
His physical bodydied at this moment.
In his hands, he was holding a cigarette box and a notebook
The scars left on his face and body have never healed.
Beside him, three spirits looked at each other, and after confirming that Oboro was dead, they instinctively turned around and left.
They don't need to be guarded anymore.
Oboro has gone.
Only an empty shell remained.
In the silent mountains, some common birds with black wings and small life forms soon came over, smelling the "Scent of death" like vultures, and landed on Oboro's body one after another. They began to tear the human flesh with their sharp beaks and eat frantically.
Absorb and digest the tiny bit of energy remaining in the body
