The silent voice said, "[Target Tracking Technique], go!"
In the Kakin Empire, in the palace of the First Prince, before a screen as clear as a water mirror,
Old Commander Grant, Guzman, and Benjamin on the throne along with his private soldiers, all fell into bizarre silence.
Only "tap... tap...."
The gentle tapping sound of Benjamin on the throne's armrest echoed softly within the hall, seemingly striking Grant and others with confusion like a heavy hammer, unable to comprehend what was happening.
'What's up with Sisko?'
'Why isn't he moving?'
'It must be Roy Zoldyck who did something to him!' Thoughts tangled like wild grass grown uncontrollably, burned without end.
Grant and dozens of Benjamin's private soldiers subconsciously turned to Guzman... wanting answers, clearly only the person involved, namely... Sisko saved by the [Substitute Death Puppet] could provide them!
Obviously, as Benjamin's trusted private soldiers, Grant and others were not unaware of the recently prevalent [True God Cult] in Kakin V5, sweeping across the continent like a flood. Instead, they had done substantial intelligence homework... Within the cult, it's widely circulated that as long as one offers devotion to [Truth] and is blessed as [Bishop], they will receive an undying chance.
This has become an intelligence focal point appearing on the desks of high-level officials of various countries.
The fact shows that no one can refuse a [Substitute Death] opportunity, which is... one of the reasons why [True God Cult] is tacitly allowed to preach now.
"Guzman, I suppose you know what to do." Old Commander Grant squinted slightly at Guzman.
Guzman's green hair swayed in the wind, his expression uncertain, as he sensed... Sisko was already resurrected inside the altar stationed by the [God Cult] in the Ancient Gan Yu Kingdom station... He glanced back at the phantom of the champion owl, watched the screen fade away, Roy's face disappearing... His inner shock and gloom were no less than that of Grant and others!
'Fire, Light Transformation, seemingly soul-directed spiritual impact, plus sharp swordsmanship, according to the divine mandate, this guy is at least an [Earl], and [Earl]... he has shown far more than last time, which means....'
'He isn't just stepping onto the [Path of Faith], rather, he has already walked a significant distance on this path, having acquired a substantial amount of "Nen" and "Nenryoku"....'
Thoughts flashing... Guzman forcibly suppressing his fluctuating emotions, stepped forward, bowing to Benjamin and said, "Certainly,"
"I'll go ask Sisko now,"
"Once there are results, I'll inform Your Highness immediately!"
"Nenryoku" is mysterious in how information is acquired, even with the champion owl's divine investigative boost, Guzman couldn't swiftly discern what type of [spiritual secret technique] Roy used just by his own observation... However,
Before Guzman could straighten his back,
And before Benjamin could react,
A whisper suddenly cut through the palace's large window sills by the breeze, blowing into the hall, whispering into everyone's ears......
"I've found you....."
"Who?"
"Click!" Guns cocked, swords drawn,
The palace instantly went on alert!
Led by Old Commander Grant's private soldiers, they immediately surrounded Benjamin, creating an invisible human wall, securely guarding him behind,
Benjamin's hand suddenly stopped hitting the armrest, and alongside Guzman beneath the throne, they both looked at the corner where the screen vanished from, inside the hall, beneath the glazed tiles and eaves, a pair of calm eyes vaguely surfaced, chasing the phantom of the champion owl, crossing time and spacial distance, fixing gaze on Guzman below and... those involved with [True God Cult], those in high positions within the cult, all gifted a chance of surviving death.....
For instance, beside the Kakin Empire's palace, at the dock by the sea, inspecting the progress of the [Black Whale], Beyond,
For instance within the depths of the palace, personally setting the teapot egg ritual, finalizing the kingdom's succession war, Kakin Empire's King, Nasubi,
For instance fulfilling Netero's command, secretly investigating [True God Cult], having gathered significant intelligence, holding a closed-door meeting with a defected plump-bellied bishop, Botobai,
Also for instance... related to [Dark Symphony], Ancient Gan Yu Kingdom's second princess,
And having just bid farewell to Beyond, with whom relations are close, although not a cult high-level but already within [God Cult] influence, Pariston,
At this moment,
When Roy's eyes appeared in the sky momentarily,
All these people were stunned, followed by some surprised, some suppressing laughter, some frowning, some vigilant... expressions varied, but uniformly, emotions soared, peace unattainable!
"Hur hur hur... Such familiar eyes, is it you, Roy Zoldyck?"
Kakin Empire, coast dock, Beyond's rough face stared fiercely at Roy, instantly recognizing him.
"It's him... it's him... it's definitely him!"
"My darling, my dear beloved... Roy!"
"Huh huh huh... hahahaha... turns out you've been waiting for me to find you too?"
Eulubian Continent, a new round of Hunter Exam begins, at some entrance, Tobey coincidentally sharing a test site with Pariston, was startled by Pariston suddenly falling into a frenzy, grumbled inwardly, stepping far away from him... Perhaps it's precisely this intuition to sense danger in advance that lets him participate in over thirty Hunter Exams unscathed, ultimately,
On this night when the moon hangs high,
Some people, some forces, destined to toss and turn, sleepless.
Among them, Botobai didn't fall behind,
Years ago during the Hunter Exam battle with the youth, failing to be enjoyable, this Three-star Terrorist Hunter, recognized first beneath Netero, face painted like opera masks, bearing authority without anger, reached out to console the shocked plump-bellied bishop,
Glancing up deeply into Roy's eyes, heart stirred with thrill and expectation,
"Don't worry, he's one of our Hunter Association's Hunters too,"
"Hunter?"
"Indeed, Hunter."
"Hoo~" The plump-bellied bishop rubbed his chest, stared at Roy and said, "Mysterious and spooky enough to startle me, since they're all Hunters, are they also specialized in counter-terrorism like you?"
"No," Botobai wrapped his arms, watching Roy's gaze along the causal line gradually dissipate, understandably saying, "His mission is graver than mine, also harder."
The plump-bellied bishop immediately piqued interest, exclaimed an intrigued "Oh" (third tone), curiously inquired: "What kind of Hunter is he?"
Botobai watched Roy's gaze completely vanish, from a superior position looked down, casually squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "God-slaying!"
"He said he wants to be a [God-slaying Hunter]!"
The plump-bellied bishop "plop" fell off the chair, instantly scrambled under the table...
"Mad! Damn it, your Hunter Association is full of lunatics!"
"Dare to say anything, dare to take any job, are you not afraid of retribution?"
Retribution? Botobai, like a small mountain, sitting by the table, suddenly expelled two wisps of gas dragon from his nostrils... thinking: "To the youth, whose retribution... remains difficult to speak......"
"Phoo~" Inside the secret chamber, the eyes belonging to Roy finally faded away,
Looking across the entire island embraced within Mobius Lake, at last only Kakin Empire's palace, the First Prince's palace, those eyes still suspended in the air, overlooking Guzman, with red lights surging in pupils' depths, stinging people's hearts, shivering!
