Thinking back, Yi Shuihan seemed to have seen someone in the meteor shower who looked very much like Xiao Jie; it must have been Xiao Jie's father, Jin.
"Okay, become my fighter, and I'll take you to find him right away."
If someone else had said this, Xiao Jie would never have believed it so easily. Although he was simple-minded, he was also quite primal and could often sense the truth of a matter directly. However, at this moment, he unconditionally believed Yi Shuihan's words.
With a bright smile on his face, Xiao Jie nodded firmly and said, "I'm willing to be your fighter."
The first fighter for Yi Shuihan was thus decided. I wonder what people will think when they find out that Xiao Jie chose to become a fighter for Yi Shuihan without even knowing what it means, and that his initial intention was simply to get Yi Shuihan to help him find his father.
"From today onwards, you will be my warrior. Remember, the one you serve is the God of Contracts, and my name is Yi Shuihan."
Having managed to trick a protagonist with almost no effort, Yi Shuihan was in a good mood.
"It seems like I could create a team of fighters entirely composed of the main characters! Should I do that? Just thinking about it sounds so cool!"
Chapter 765, Summoning the Wind, Treading the Earth
“Let’s go. I remember your father should be in this direction. If we hurry, we should be able to see him in an hour.”
Based on his memory and after making a rough estimate, Yi Shuihan said to Xiao Jie.
This shows that he has no intention of paying attention to the rest of the Phantom Troupe. In fact, most of the people present have pretty good talent, otherwise they wouldn't be able to become Nen users in the Hunter world, let alone strong ones. However, for Yi Shuihan, this talent is nothing special.
In Hunter x Hunter, not to mention the Dark Continent, even on the continent where Gon exists, the strongest human, Netero, couldn't match the power of a nuclear weapon. This means that their strongest abilities are not even at the Bronze level, or they have just reached the Bronze level. Any Saint with a Sixth Sense would be considered a top-tier powerhouse in that world.
The final boss in the early stages, the Ant King who came to the Dark Continent, seemed powerful and had extraordinary potential, but he also fell to a weapon similar to a missile and died from radiation. It has to be said that this is a very ironic thing.
In this world where Saint Seiya warriors are just ordinary troops and the gods are the main force, even Gon's talent might not be comparable to Aiolia and the others. The reason Yi Shuihan took a liking to Gon was simply because of his identity and the fact that Yi Shuihan didn't dislike him.
Gon has a unique aura; his presence brings a sense of peace to those around him. His innocence can purify one's soul. Killua was drawn to this quality in Gon because, living in darkness and turbidity, he yearned even more for light and purity.
"Can I take them with me? They are all my friends."
Gon is still very loyal; he still remembers Killua and the others even at this time.
"No problem, they can come along if they want."
Without hesitation, this was not a difficult matter for Yi Shuihan, even though doing so might displease the Phantom Troupe. But what did the Phantom Troupe matter?
"Kid, you're pretty arrogant! You're ignoring us."
Nobunaga walked over, gripping the hilt of his sword, and his Nen energy erupted, forming a circle around him.
Advanced telekinetic skills, a high-level combined application of "En", "En" and "Ren", allow the aura to expand outward from the user's center, enabling the user to detect intruders within the aura's coverage area. Nobunaga's circle is not large, with a radius of 4 meters, but within these 4 meters is his attack range. Once an enemy steps into his circle, unless they are significantly stronger than him, they will be unable to avoid his attacks.
Nobunaga's actions made Xiao Jie and the others very nervous. He subconsciously used his Condensation skill and clearly saw the circle next to Nobunaga. The dangerous aura made Xiao Jie subconsciously want to get away.
Killua, who is extremely sensitive to danger, almost got goosebumps, and his hands instinctively turned into claws.
"Punch me."
Uvogin comes to cause trouble again, throwing a punch before Nobunaga can launch an attack.
This group created a burst of air in the air; it was clear at a glance that they possessed tremendous power.
Nen energy coiled around Uvogin's fist, making it as hard as steel. He could shatter a missile with a single punch, whereas the hardness of an average Nen user was only slightly stronger than stone.
As an Enhancement-type Devil Fruit user, Uvogin's Nen ability is very simple and straightforward, with no special features, or its only special feature is its great power. Whether it is Super Destruction or Rockstorm, it is just injecting Nen into the body and then unleashing a powerful attack.
"call"
Faced with a punch that could blow an ordinary person to pieces, Yi Shuihan simply exhaled lightly.
"woohoo"
The breath he exhaled instantly transformed into a gust of wind, which blew Uvogin away, sending him flying dozens of meters before crashing to the ground with a tremendous roar.
"hiss"
Everyone gasped in astonishment, staring dumbfounded at Yi Shuihan, completely unable to believe that a mere breath could possess such power, easily blowing away Uvogin.
Even Uvogin's scream, which could shatter an enemy's eardrums and kill them, was far less shocking than this.
Most importantly, they did not sense any spiritual energy from Yi Shuihan, meaning that this was entirely due to Yi Shuihan's own abilities. They could not even imagine what kind of powerful body it would take to achieve this.
"I originally thought Uvogin was a monster, but I didn't expect to meet someone even more monstrous. Compared to him, Uvogin can only be considered a little strange."
Nobunaga murmured, his aura becoming even more refined, completely regarding Yi Shuihan as an enemy of equal or even stronger than himself.
"Ah! I'm going to kill you."
A roar that nearly pierced eardrums erupted as Uvogin sprang to his feet, his eyes flashing with murderous intent as he stared at Yi Shuihan.
Crimson Nen enveloped Uvogin's entire body. He slammed his fist into the ground, tearing up the ground beneath his feet and sending rocks hurtling towards Yi Shuihan like a storm of bullets.
As the rock storm approached Yi Shuihan, he calmly lifted his foot and gently moved it, as if he was worried that placing it too heavily would make a sound.
The effect of this simple release was astonishing; the rock storm instantly stopped and then returned along its original path at an even faster speed.
Comparing the two, anyone can see how big the difference is. Uvogin seems to have used all his strength to create such a rock storm, while Yi Shuihan deliberately reduced his strength to achieve the same effect as Uvogin.
"I still can't use my incantation. Could it really be just the power of my body itself?"
The members of the troupe used their Nen abilities but couldn't detect any Nen on Yi Shuihan. They all frowned, but they weren't too worried about Uvogin. Uvogin was thick-skinned, and this kind of attack would only cause him some superficial injuries at most.
"How can he be so strong!?"
Killua stared blankly at Yi Shuihan, and couldn't help but compare Yi Shuihan with the people he had met, and found that none of them could compare to Yi Shuihan.
"Big brother, you're amazing!"
Xiao Jie looked at Yi Shuihan with excitement and admiration in his eyes.
Leorio was petrified; in his view, this battle scenario should never have occurred in reality.
"Perhaps I can get my revenge today."
Kurapika was the happiest when the tour group suffered a defeat.
"Feitan, Nobunaga, you two go too, the rest of you seize the opportunity."
The Phantom Troupe is the Phantom Troupe after all; fighting alone is not their style. If necessary, they will not hesitate to gang up on each other. Under Chrollo's orders, Nobunaga and Feitan attacked almost simultaneously.
Chapter 766, The Game of Luck: Dice
Feitan is a high-attack assassin with extremely fast speed in the Phantom Troupe. His face is half-covered, revealing only the upper part, making him appear extremely cold.
The slender sword, like a ghost, attacked Yi Shuihan from behind, along with Nobunaga's signature sword-drawing slash.
Not only that, but an invisible thread of thought also flew through the air at an extremely tricky angle.
Xiao Jie possesses extremely strong dynamic abilities, so he can see these movements clearly, but his body cannot keep up. He can only watch helplessly as Feitan and the others attack, with an anxious look on his face.
Killua, on the other hand, appeared quite calm at this moment. Having witnessed Yi Shuihan's previous methods, he did not believe that they could cause any harm to Yi Shuihan. Unlike Yu Xiaojie, who was worried, Yu Xiaojie was thinking about what kind of methods Yi Shuihan would use next, and whether they would be as unbelievable as before.
"Do you really think I'm just a sitting duck?"
Frowning, Yi Shuihan had already stayed behind to guard the area; otherwise, Wojin wouldn't be alive. He hadn't expected his good intentions to be met with an even more frenzied attack. This time, Yi Shuihan was also a little angry.
"What? He actually caught the sword with just two fingers."
"Crack!"
Before Feitan could even express his astonishment, his sword was snapped in two by Yi Shuihan's finger, and the severed piece flew back at incredible speed, severing his hand.
Feitan quickly retreated without hesitation, intending to find Machi to reattach his hand first. Since it had just been cut off, his hand was still very mobile, and it would heal quickly once reattached. If it was delayed, even if it was reattached, it would leave lasting effects.
If he were fighting alone, Feitan would definitely not have made such a decision. Currently, they are a battalion against one enemy, so losing him wouldn't have a significant impact.
Feitan's attack actually reached Yi Shuihan around the same time as Nobunaga's. In that instant, Yi Shuihan not only snapped Feitan's sword in half with her hand, but also used the heat emanating from her body to melt Nobunaga's sword. That's right, it melted directly. Holding up the hilt of the sword, Nobunaga stared blankly at Yi Shuihan.
Can you believe that a sword melted in such a short time? You have to understand that Nobunaga's sword was a rare treasure, and when he attacked, it was imbued with his Nen, making it even harder than alloys, and its heat resistance was definitely over a thousand degrees.
In such a situation, the knife would melt completely in less than a second, requiring a temperature of at least several thousand degrees, while magma is only around 1000 degrees.
"We absolutely must not engage him in close combat; his abilities are terrifying."
"What type of ability user is he?"
"Special type or...?"
No matter what, no one would believe that Yi Shuihan was not a Nen user. They simply couldn't imagine how he could have done this if he didn't have Nen abilities.
"Watch my super destructive punch!"
"Wojin, no!"
Nobunaga shouted loudly, not to save Yi Shuihan, but to stop Uvogin from committing suicide. He did not believe that Uvogin's flesh and blood could withstand the temperature that could melt steel instantly, even though Uvogin was an Enhancer and his physical body could withstand rocket launchers when he used his Nen ability.
"Huh, it's nothing. Could it be that the ability only targets weapons, or that it only works when the weapon is a knife?"
The thought had barely crossed Nobunaga's mind when he was shocked to discover that Uvogin's devastating punch had been caught and hadn't even caused the slightest damage.
"Don't embarrass yourself with such a weak fist."
With a slight exertion of the hand that was gripping Uvogin's fist, Uvogin was lifted up.
With a gentle flick, Uvogin transformed into a shooting star and disappeared into the horizon, remaining silent for a long time, demonstrating the great distance he had traveled.
"You killed Uvogin!"
Nobunaga's eyes turned red, believing that Uvogin was dead. In fact, the probability of Uvogin's death was over 90%. Falling from a height of over 1,000 meters, even if Uvogin was a Nen user, he would be smashed to pieces, unless he was extremely lucky and landed in a lake with sufficient depth, or there were many soft objects along the way to help him reduce kinetic energy.
The members of the Phantom Troupe were unaware that they had landed from a higher altitude. Had they known, they might have had a greater hope that Uvogin would survive.
"So what if he killed me? What's the big deal?"
He said it indifferently, and his nonchalant expression finally made Nobunaga's anger burn away his reason.
However, Nobunaga's strength lay in his sword, especially his superhuman speed at drawing it. Now that he no longer had his sword, his greatest asset had vanished, leaving him like a tiger without its teeth, unable to bite effectively.
Nobunaga used the simplest attack method that anyone could use: his fist. Also an Enhancement type, his Nen gave him unparalleled speed; at this moment, his punch speed even exceeded that of a bullet.
Even Uvogin's devastating punch was child's play in front of Yi Shuihan, and Nobunaga's speed was even less impressive.
This time, Yi Shuihan didn't hold back either, repeatedly provoking him until his patience was almost worn out.
He retaliated with an even faster kick, but instead of sending Nobunaga flying, he used a very special force control technique to shatter Nobunaga's internal organs. Nobunaga did not die immediately because the lifespan of a Nen user is far greater than that of an ordinary person, and he could barely survive for a few more minutes.
First Feitan lost his hand, then Uvogin flew into the sky, and finally Nobunaga. In less than a minute, the Phantom Troupe suffered such huge losses. The speed of the change was astonishing and completely aroused the ferocity of the Phantom Troupe.
The Phantom Troupe's motto is to find a replacement from the remaining feet if they lose their head and continue walking. Nothing can stop them. Having grown up in Meteor City, a place where they could lose their lives at any moment, the Troupe members are fearless of death. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth is their creed.
Kuroro, as the leader, finally lost his temper. A materialized book appeared in his hand, which he automatically and rapidly flipped through.
"You're the one, the dice of the game of luck."
The bizarre game dice is a strange Nen ability that Chrollo once stole. When activated, it materializes a die and rolls a number based on luck, ranging from 9 to 9. Rolling a negative number weakens the Nen user's strength by a corresponding multiple, while rolling a positive number weakens a designated enemy by a corresponding multiple.
Of course, this is not a game entirely based on luck. The Nen user who activates the ability can combine the luck of several people who are willing to link together as a whole. The condition is based on the user's strength. Chrollo can link 12 people, which is the entire Phantom Troupe. The original owner of this ability could only link 3 people.
Chapter 767, Backlash
After the game dice were rolled, Kuroro's entire body shone with a white light, and the other members of his travel group were also enveloped in the same light, appearing as a single entity with their auras connected.
Each person's aura exhibits different characteristics, and its outward appearance is often manifested in different colors, such as Uvogin's red and Feitan's purple. Chrollo is obviously not white; clearly, white is the representative color of the original owner of this ability.
A higher energy, far beyond what can be explained by psychic energy, began to emerge and gradually enveloped the dice.
At the same time, Yi Shuihan could also feel an energy surrounding him, as if it was probing something.
"interesting!"
When Kuroro rolled the dice, from Yi Shuihan's perspective, he saw spiders of different sizes appear above Kuroro and the other members of the Phantom Troupe, hissing at him and spitting out spider silk as if trying to pull something out of him.
These spiders were so weak that Yi Shuihan felt nothing at all. With just a slight thought, the spiders were pulled out and merged into the die.
"how is this possible?"
Kuroro screamed in surprise, as if he had seen something utterly unbelievable.
The members, who knew their leader very well, were immediately surprised. After all, Kuroro always appeared calm and collected in the face of anything, even death, and could still smile.
So, what exactly made Kuroro do such an unusual thing?
Before the other members could find the answer, a feeling of weakness burst forth from their bodies, and then all the members collapsed to the ground like boneless shrimp, barely having the strength to even open their eyes.
"What happened? How could this be!"
"Impossible! Even if the number drawn is the lowest 9, I wouldn't feel this weak. This is more than 9 times weaker, it's a hundred times, a thousand times weaker!"
The difference between the Nen users who were once considered superhuman and the current situation where they can kill any small animal is simply too great.
Of the entire Phantom Troupe, only Chrollo himself saw the number 999 that appeared before the final die disappeared. Moreover, this number was not fixed; it changed from 9 continuously during the last breath before disappearing, eventually settling on 999.
What does this mean? It means that the difference between the two is actually far greater than 999 times. It's just that his Nen ability can no longer sustain it, so it hasn't gotten any worse.
Even Kuroro himself had never realized before that the differences between people could be so great. The reason he thought the possible numbers on the dice were 9 to 9 was entirely because he had conducted countless experiments and had not found any other answers.
