Theo and the others began running through the foggy forest. Theo suddenly stopped because he already knew the location of the second part of the exam. The events unfolded normally; Gon and Hisoka met up, which was quite interesting and worth watching. The second part of the exam involved cooking. No one was able to prepare a dish that Menchin wanted, except for Theo, of course. Theo excelled in everything, and his cooking was no different from a drug—highly addictive.
When the others failed the test (except Theo), Netero arrived and was shocked to see Theo, though he didn't show it.
Netero: "Hohoho, I see that this year there are some very peculiar candidates. You, the red-haired boy, follow me. I have something to discuss with you."
Theo: "As you wish, Chairman Netero."
Everyone watched in shock because Theo had caught Netero's attention. Kurapika observed with normal eyes.
Killua to Kurapika: "Damn, Kurapika, is your friend a monster? Even my grandfather never gave off such a feeling. It's like if I attacked Antares, I would die instantly."
Gon: "Yes, Kurapika, the man gives off a strange aura, just as Killua said. But as long as he is a friend, I won't ask more."
Kurapika: "Hmm, it's hard to say how accurate it is, but I'll explain later. There are too many eyes on us."
Kurapika said this because everyone was watching them, especially Hisoka and Illumi.
Hisoka slowly approached Kurapika, and everyone turned their heads because no one wanted to confront Hisoka. Hisoka leaned in and whispered something in Kurapika's ear. No one could move; Gon and Killua watched in astonishment from the sidelines.
Hisoka said: "You want revenge, don't you? In exchange for information about the Phantom Troupe, cooperate with me and provide information about Antares."
Kurapika: "Agreed."
Meanwhile, with Netero and Theo:
Netero had a serious expression.
Netero: "What are you?"
Theo: "A god."
Netero: "What?"
Theo: "Did you not hear?"
Netero: "I can't believe it. Is there really a god? Why are you taking the exam? Why were humans created? What is the level of Nen? Did you create Nen? Are you fair?"
Theo: "Hold on, Netero. There are multiple gods, at least in this universe. There are gods of Nen. I am a god from another universe."
Netero: "Then why are you here?"
Theo: "For fun."
Netero: "Fun? I can understand that."
Theo: "Netero, I'm going to tell you something and then leave. Pay attention while teaching Kurapika Nen and give him whatever he needs."
Netero: "What if I refuse?"
Netero said this with a smile. Theo released his Zetsu, and the entire world felt fear. This Zetsu even enveloped the Dark Continent. For the first time, gods felt a crisis. The Mobius Lake became a forbidden zone for them. There was already a barrier, but it had weakened. Now, the gods swore an oath not to enter there because entering meant their death. Hence, it was an oath that served them well.
Afterward, Theo went to another universe. However, this time, Theo felt something when he arrived in the universe. The path to becoming Tier 0 involved restricting his power, going to different universes, completing certain tasks there, and he could only choose one power and bring one item with him for each universe. He couldn't go anywhere until he completed the task.
The universe he would go to now is the DC universe, and the power he would take is absorption.
