Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 434 Ability, artificial man

I thought my abilities were good enough to keep me from getting ahead, but I never imagined there were people who were even more incapable of keeping me behind.

Yuto Yutani lay on the floor, accepting his defeat with equanimity. Even knowing the opponent's information, he might not have been able to win.

The points I received were only because the other party wanted to test my abilities.

Yuto Yutani's ability is a simple "time enhancement".

Once in battle, as time goes on, his physical attributes will be enhanced in all aspects, similar to a buff.

Of course, you can force it to be used, but that will come at the cost of "extended time".

The longer the battle lasts, the faster he becomes, and the greater his strength also becomes.

The battle ended too quickly, after all, it was a ten-minute battle.

The other side probably realized this too, which is why they ended the battle immediately.

If you keep delaying him, he will strengthen his reactions, his perception, and even his defenses.

Yuto Aburaya's most active training is "refinement." As long as he increases his Nen and extends his fighting time, he will become stronger and stronger.

Of course, even with sufficient Nen energy, his ability cannot be infinitely enhanced; at most, it can be ten times the strength of his physical attributes.

Even so, it's already quite terrifying.

Himiko, on the other hand, possessed similar abilities.

The perfume ability is a transformation ability, altering the nature of Nen. It can be used by the user or as a form of "poison".

Himiko herself was a perfumer who created various perfumes, and she also studied medicine in order to hone her Nen abilities.

Learn about the structure of perfumes and how to use breath control.

Ordinary perfume becomes more powerful when imbued with spiritual energy, which naturally comes at the cost of constraints and vows.

Himiko's ability is perfume making.

However, when using this ability, she can only choose one perfume at the beginning, and each perfume has a time limit for use.

You need to wait until the duration of one perfume's effect ends before you can use the next perfume.

The duration of a perfume varies; the stronger the perfume, the longer it lasts.

Moreover, this ability will grow over time, since Himiko will only be able to create more and more perfumes.

Yuya Hayato failed to detect Himiko's abilities; if he had been following information about Himiko, he would have known.

This ability to target breathing and skin is really troublesome.

Himiko's perfume ability affects anyone who smells it, including their skin, though the effect is slightly less pronounced than when they breathe.

Nen can block the effects of the skin, but not completely. The concentration of perfume can also penetrate the defenses against Nen.

If the binding isn't precise enough, it won't be able to block the perfume's power.

Of course, for abilities like Himiko's, one can ask the God-level Creation Blacksmith at the Heaven's Arena to help forge clothing that can aid in battle.

This is not within the scope of the restrictions.

Of course, in battles on the 200th floor, using divine artifacts requires prior notification, meaning the opponent will be informed in advance.

"The poster's strength is still improving." Compared to the 200th floor poster he used to follow, Bi Yangde could clearly see that the current 200th floor poster was much stronger than he was more than ten years ago.

This is the difference between accumulation and learning.

Perhaps decades from now, as long as the Sky Arena doesn't collapse, the poster's strength will continue to improve.

Bi Yangde glanced at Lu Qi out of the corner of his eye.

Lucci, who is still so young, has a similar training method to Bisky, and also uses the Iron Body technique from the Six Powers.

Even without longevity rice, Lucky Phoenix's peak period will only get longer and longer.

Now he can no longer see through the old man's strength, and seems to be moving forward again on the path of listening to the heart's drop of fist.

Bi Yangde got up to leave, then suddenly remembered: "Oh, right, that Holy Grail War mini-game you devised has also caught their attention."

The Holy Grail War has undergone several revisions, now only selecting those with the ability of non-psychic powers, and the Holy Grail rewards have also been changed.

It's no longer a "wish-granting machine," but a safe way to activate one's mind and gain a mind beast ability that requires no training.

After learning about it, V5's first thought was the "Nianhu" of the Kakin Empire.

The "Mind Pot" of the Kakin Empire may be a secret, but it's not a secret to the upper echelons of V5, and they can still find out about it.

Unfortunately, this "Nianhu" has too many limitations.

It can grant Nen abilities to the descendants of the Kakin Empire's royal family, but only through "raising and killing Gu".

The Holy Grail system devised by Lucci was similar in V5's eyes.

The Nen Beast's abilities aren't that strong, but they're not dangerous either. Even in the Holy Grail War, you can simply give up without necessarily facing real danger to your life.

It can be used to mass-produce "soldiers".

Lucci nodded, indicating that he understood.

He no longer cared about V5's attention; human technological weapons did not pose a threat to him for the time being.

Unless it's directly targeting Sky Arena.

But the Republic of Batokia would not be willing either. Although Crete now feels somewhat like a country within a country, it has also brought many other impacts to the nation.

Even if someone wants the power in his hands, they can only do so through other means.

Lucci wasn't worried about that at all, and he was only going to get stronger.

It's time to start the Holy Grail War elsewhere.

The Holy Grail system and its secret realms are not yet planned to be opened elsewhere, but the Holy Grail War can certainly begin.

After Bi Yangde left, Lu Qi in the room also turned into particles of light and slowly disappeared.

The person Bi Yangde met was not Lucci himself, but a Nen clone, a fact Bi Yangde had not yet realized.

Lucci now uses his clones to handle trivial matters.

The hidden space of the City of Kerry, the Palace of the Holy Grail.

A huge array of divine symbols appeared in the palace.

With the help of the Holy Grail system and magical knowledge from another world, Lucci is now setting out to create androids.

Unlike the special "Nen Beasts" of the past, these artificial humans are "newborn life forms".

After several experiments, Lucci had mastered this "magic" perfectly.

However, there are slight differences. Instead of being infused with Lu Qi's Nen, the new life is somewhat incomplete, and its direction is characterized by a lack of emotion.

They only know how to obey orders.

They don't possess any real strength; they're just like ordinary people, or perhaps even weaker.

Of course, they can grow, but their progress is underwhelming.

Unless there are special circumstances, it's hard to equate them with humans after spending a long time together.

Today, however, the "android" that Lucci plans to create is slightly different.

It is no longer a fully formed life form, but a state of embryonic development, and is in order to complete certain aspects.

Lucci also used the power of the Holy Grail to split his consciousness.

In other words, it is a physical clone that truly belongs to Lucci.

Lucci's goal, of course, is the new world discovered by the Dragon Vein, a world that can allow even the weakest being to pass through.
