Becoming the Supreme Will starting from Hunter x Hunter

The East Godot army, which was originally stationed at the other end of the town, closer to the Sawtooth Mountains, was also forced to retreat. Their numbers seemed to have decreased significantly... leaving them with less than a thousand men.

The parasitized species include birds, beasts, and reptiles... Their diverse attack methods mean that firearms alone are simply insufficient to deal with them.

For example, the flocks of birds circling overhead fall like a curtain of rain.

For soldiers, the lethality of a dive bomb is no less than that of a bullet.

Braving the hail of bullets, the beasts at the front fell one by one, but quickly got back up... Even those whose flesh and blood were destroyed by bullets would still be shot at closer targets by flying insects.

Some soldiers had their protective suits torn apart and screamed as they became food for the beasts.

Some... were so terrified when faced with this scene that they immediately turned and ran away...

It seems that all the species in the Sawtooth Mountains have left their original habitats.

Split.

The ability to split is terrifying.

There may have been only one or a few insects at first, but after a period of parasitism and hatching, their numbers have reached an unimaginable level.

One guy stood out in the crowd.

He is an Enhancement-type Nen user.

They were wearing the uniforms of the East Godot Army, but without protective suits.

He was the only human who stood firm amidst the surging beast tide.

The aura he unleashed was even more powerful than that of Oboro, making him practically a human bulldozer among the beasts.

Any creature that gets close to him will be torn to shreds by his attacks. His Nen ability is extremely destructive and has a wide range, giving Oboro the illusion that he has seen Uvogin.

Dongguoduo actually has such a powerful Nen user!

He and Hisoka hid behind the human military camp, in the woods of the town, using Zetsu to dissipate their aura for better concealment.

With this expert in enhancement techniques present, the military's casualties seem to have been somewhat reduced.

Although the soldiers were gradually retreating, the lines were not completely broken by the parasites.

"If we lose, the battlefield will expand again..."

Long thought with certainty.

Just as he was about to tell Hisoka to leave first, suddenly, he saw a person appear deep within the beast tide.

A man with a long braid, his face covered with tattoo-like patterns, wearing a white robe.

They are Botswana people!

The parasites running wildly around the man did not attack him.

Then, Long's pupils contracted.

I saw this Botswana man raise his hands towards the sky and make a gesture.

Then, he pulled out a dagger, slit his throat... and committed suicide!

After his death, instead of rising again like a corpse, the surrounding parasites stopped in their tracks, gathered together, and began to devour his flesh and blood…

There wasn't even a bone left; they ate it all up.

Immediately afterward, Oboro sensed that... the massive herd of beasts had become even more restless, and their aura had become even more ferocious.

"withdraw!"

Oboro called out.

They immediately ran away at top speed.

Hisoka immediately followed.

……

Half a day later, after confirming that he had reached a safe location and left the area of ​​the sawtooth mountains, he stopped.

A noise came from the side, and Hisoka stopped.

"what happened?"

The latter asked.

Based on Hisoka's understanding of Oboro, he felt that... Oboro had figured something out.

"It's not an energy like that of a curse..."

It's not a direct death thought, but rather an indirect transmission through a medium... It possesses a will that has a death thought and also has certain rules..." Oboro ignored Hisoka's voice, replaying the actions of the Botswana man in his mind, and muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him.

It looks like it…

It resembles the egg-in-pot ritual of the Kakin Empire.

Although the functions and effects presented are different, the types are very similar... There are rules, a venue, offerings, and participants. Connecting this to previous inferences, the Botswana people possess some kind of special item...

"The birth of the primitive worm..."

"It seems complicated, but it's actually incredibly simple... It's far less elaborate than the egg-in-the-pot ritual. Its purpose is to perpetuate the life of the race. The participants are both the Botswana people and the kingdom's monarch. The venue should be the entire East Godot. They want to overthrow the regime, targeting the royal family... The sacrifice is the Botswana people..."

"Once the ritual begins, the Botswana people must sacrifice themselves periodically until only the last 'spark of life' remains, that is, the last person, at which point the division and parasitism will end..."

Long kept muttering to himself, his gaze fixed.

At this moment, he was brainstorming and completely forgot about Hisoka's existence.

"Ok?"

Hisoka was also seeing him like this for the first time; his face had a half-smile on it, but he didn't disturb him.

Ren Youlong talked to himself like a madman.

"Something gave birth to a primordial worm, giving it certain effects and abilities... and thus began the ritual."

"Its power and effect are far inferior to the Egg in the Pot... After all, the Egg in the Pot allows a group of princes to possess spirit beasts, while this insect does not directly affect the Bozwa people, but relies purely on its nature and ability to split and evolve. Its binding force of rules is not as strong as the latter, and it can not even be said to exist obviously."

"The venue is too large, which will weaken the effect of the ritual... If the primordial worm or the first batch of worms had been eliminated at the beginning, the Botswana people would probably all have died, and it would not have turned out like this. The ritual would have ended early... If my analysis is correct, the Botswana people who are alive now cannot kill the king after the remaining people are sacrificed. The victor would be the other side, but the Botswana people's fire can be preserved."

Oboro sensed the rule because he and Hisoka entered the Sawtooth Mountains and were attacked by parasitic beasts.

The person who was attacked first was not him, but Hisoka…

Out of hostility towards the Botswana people.

Similar to the prerequisites for using his Nen abilities, it is precisely because his abilities are attached to rules that Oboro is particularly sensitive to rules.

It's important to know that during the egg-in-the-pot ritual, the princes' spirit beasts will also protect their respective masters, exhibiting a certain passive defense mechanism.

Of course, outsiders can also get involved in the egg-in-the-pot ceremony, focusing on the participants, namely the princes... who are the main characters.

The purpose is to select the next generation to succeed the previous one.

Oboro initially didn't realize it was because of the venue... The venue for the Egg in the Pot was on the Giant Whale, where many rules were quite clear, such as the princes not being able to see their spirit beasts and not being able to leave the Giant Whale before the ceremony was over, etc. In contrast, the Botswana people's ceremony had weaker rules and lacked any real constraints... and the venue was also unclear.

确。

However, judging from the gradual expansion of the battlefield, it may endanger an entire country.

The scope is so large... it's simply not something that a ritual can influence.

Or rather, from the beginning, this ritual didn't have such strict requirements for rules and venues... because the thing that created the ritual didn't have much power.

Even now, the swarm's fission is terrifying... Ultimately, if they had been wiped out from the beginning, or if they had been swept away with overwhelming firepower in the early stages, this outcome would not have occurred.

It was Wang Guojun himself who created a breeding ground for the swarm... which led the situation out of control.

"Whatever the conditions and factors that led to the start of the ceremony... it was certainly achieved."

"These are all speculations, and we need to confirm them step by step."

"Is the purpose of the ritual to preserve the last life of the race, or to perish together? If it's the latter... then this is the first time the ritual has been used, and the probability is too small. The more likely scenario is the first one: the continuation of the race."

"The threat identified by the association is that thing... It should be the source of the afterlife."

"We're late. If we had come earlier, depending on the purpose of the ceremony, we could have used the rules to end it sooner... But now..."

If it is a ritual held for the continuation of the race.

I want it to end.

They had two options: first, kill all the Botswana people and leave only one alive.

The second option was to kill the king and allow the Botswana people to win.

One point that's relevant is whether creations can cover multiple people...

If the entire royal family is involved, then there are quite a few people, and each one of them is a participant.

Therefore, Oboro believed that there was only one goal: the king.

As for how to involve them in the ceremony... what are the conditions, and how is it done?

I couldn't quite understand it... but the Botswana people had clearly already completed it.

The bugs... can't be eliminated anymore; the original number is too large.

The danger posed by this insect was negligible for him and Hisoka…

It can be seen that the ritual creations are rather ordinary, unlike the mind beasts born from the eggs in the pot, which are all terrifying... Hope is placed solely on a tiny insect, without any thoughts or consciousness.

The only advantage is its rapid spread...

Oboro wasn't entirely sure about her deduction... but based on the current situation, it seemed to be the most reasonable one.

Another explanation is that this insect is a species from the Dark Continent.

Forget about that idea... Oboro prefers to believe the inferences from the ritual.

"You... figured it out?"

Hisoka, standing to the side, was somewhat surprised.

He couldn't understand what Oboro was saying...

But this friend seemed to have a complete understanding of the situation.

It seems... that everything was planned from beginning to end.
