This airship heading towards Swardani City carried a strong, ominous, and evil black Nen...
And this power still visibly growing at an alarming rate.
It seemed that the leader of the Seirin Group fully unleashed the power of the 'Eye of Sight' at the cost of his own life.
That spiritual meditation energy accumulated day and night...
Has become the key that can unlock chaos at this moment.
Inside the cockpit of the airship, Diego, Seirin Group's Tenth Stem, who means 'death', is sitting on a chair with a smile on his face, as if he can't feel the growing Post-Mortem Nen in the cabin.
"Hurry up, hurry up…"
Diego quickly glanced at the dashboard displaying the maximum speed, muttering impatiently under his breath.
He wanted to personally deliver this 'big gift' to Swardani City, preferably directly to the mouth of the Hunter Association.
As for whether he would die because of this?
Was that really important?
At this moment, inside the cabin, there were dozens of members of the Seirin Group dressed in black who were entangled in the Nen of the Eye of Sight.
They stood motionless, like sculptures, and under the black brims of their hats, their eyes completely white, as if covered with a thick layer of white film.
The swirling black Nen wrapped around them rapidly condensed into cocoon shapes, completely enveloping them.
In just a brief moment, these dozens of Nen cocoons were actually connected into a ball in a matter of seconds.
This is the ability of the 'Eye of Sight'.
It could directly influence the state of the target with Nen, implanting a seed called Nen Space in the target's body.
This seed would feed on the target's mental power, and then gradually manifest a Nen Space with the target as the center point, and continue to expand outward.
The Nen Space will not stop expanding until the target's mental power is weakened to the point where it can no longer be sustained.
The terrifying part is—
Each Nen Space born from a target would connect and expand rapidly upon contact.
This is the ultimate move that the leader of the Seirin Group has accumulated after giving up decades of his time.
Perhaps, this ultimate move could have been used in a more distant future or at a more suitable time.
However, the leader of the Seirin Group chose to use it now.
Soon, this disaster-carrying airship will be personally delivered to the skies above Swardani City by Diego himself.
If all went well, it may be possible to trap most of the Hunter Association's combat power in the Nen Space.
No matter how long they can be trapped, it was the result the Seirin Group wanted to see.
…
Swardani City, Hunters Association's Headquarters.
The agenda for the second operation had been basically settled.
As the meeting approached its end, the Zodiacs' members in front of the meeting table would occasionally glance at Moses, who is sitting upright and silent.
What they were concerned about was the status of this young man in Netero's eyes.
Compared with their subtle and restrained scrutiny, Pariston openly observed Moses.
Every time their eyes met, Pariston will timely show a friendly smile.
After seeing Pariston's fake smile, Moses didn't show any avoidance. Instead, he looked at Pariston calmly.
Because any inexplicable reaction will only become one of Pariston's 'puzzle games'.
Therefore, no matter how Pariston greeted him with a smile, Moses would not avoid it, but would always remain calm and not show any disturbance.
Even so, Pariston did not find it boring, and even enjoyed this seemingly meaningless behavior.
Then, Moses realized…
'He already got his eyes on me.'
Whether it was a guess or just intuition, Moses knew that Pariston had set his sights on him.
Moreover, not only Pariston, but also other members of the Zodiacs had started paying attention to him.
The reason for all this…
Moses glanced at Netero who was sitting on the main seat.
'Is being scrutinized so much by the Zodiacs a good thing or a bad thing?'
Moses pondered about this question during the meeting, and finally came to the conclusion that... it didn't matter.
After all, his path ahead is destined to be high-profile.
In this slightly weird atmosphere, Moses quietly participated in the entire meeting as an observer.
Considering the current situation, the Hunter Association had abandoned the idea of simply trying to contain the source of the infection, as the spread of the Swamp People cannot be stopped at all.
Not to mention there's intervention from the Seirin Group.
At this time, Swamp People had even infiltrated the upper echelons of various countries.
This is the most troublesome and challenging aspect.
Because even if traces were found, in the absence of definite evidence, the top leaders of various countries are not entities that the Hunter Association can casually handle.
Even if the Hunter Association throws a 'Swamp People Certification Card' in front of those high-level politicians...
How can those politicians, who have retained their original souls and memories, acknowledge such a thing?
Dedication, sacrifice, nobility, selflessness...
They are immune to these qualities.
Therefore, the problem the Hunter Association is facing was always the same.
That is, capture Davidson.
Even if there is no way to remove Swamp Man Ability, there will at least be a way to 'kill' Davidson after capturing him.
Half an hour later, the meeting officially ended.
The members of the Zodiacs, having received their assigned tasks, began to act one after another.
This time, the capture operation is still mainly led by combat-oriented Nen Users like Botobai Gigante, Kanzai, and the others.
Meanwhile, individuals like Cheadle, Pyon, and Pariston, who leaned more towards the support role, were responsible for increasing the combat team's margin of error.
"Kester."
As the meeting ended, Netero extended an invitation to Moses with a hearty laugh: "Young man, come and accompany me for a chat."
As soon as these words came out, the members of the Zodiacs who had just stepped out of the meeting room suddenly halted and turned to look at Netero with different expressions.
Intense curiosity and interest...
This is the psychological activity of the members of the Zodiacs at this moment.
After all, the person in question was Netero, whom they revered.
"Okay."
Under their watchful eyes, Moses accepted Netero's invitation.
There's no way he can refuse, right?
Cheadle looked at Moses, wanting to say something but hesitating.
While Pyon wore an unwilling expression.
She had intended to find a moment after the meeting to corner Moses and get some clear answers, but Netero preempted her.
Ten minutes later.
Tea room.
Moses sat upright on the tatami mat.
Across from him, Netero still looked as carefree as ever, as if nothing in the world could touch the emotions of this old man.
"Looking back at the path I took to reach here, there are times when I can't help but feel that the power of Nen… can be considered omnipotent."
Netero sat cross-legged, placed the brewed tea on the low table in front of Moses, implying something as he continued:
"The Nen Ability to resurrect the death, I have seen it with my own eyes a few times a long time ago."
"…"
Moses felt a slight surprise at the clear implication, but he instantly calmed down.
He trusted Cheadle, so, he will also choose to trust Netero, whom Cheadle trusted.
Netero looked at Moses with keen interest.
He naturally saw Moses's instantaneous emotional change just now.
