"System, is there any way to save Pitou?" Meruem looked at Pitou's egg shrinking smaller and smaller and asked in desperation like a person seeking medical help in panic. Perhaps in a few more seconds, Pitou would disappear before Meruem's eyes.
"Yes, but this system does not recommend the host use it!" After a brief second of silence, that cold electronic voice sounded.
"Cut the nonsense, I order you to use it immediately! After using it, take me and my subordinates away from this world together! No matter which world, as long as it's a world that can make me stronger! Hurry!" Hearing there was a method, Meruem couldn't care about so much anymore. The pressure Yoma brought him was too great - staying even one more second might get him killed.
"Life Binding! Host will share your own time!" Pitou's egg finally stopped shrinking, but correspondingly, Meruem's body began gradually shrinking. Very good, using my time to exchange for Pitou's survival - this deal is worth it!
And Meruem's body began gradually disappearing.
"Damn it, young man, don't think of escaping!" Yoma's expression was somewhat anxious. As a sealed god of time, he had no means against spatial matters. He had originally wanted to slowly extract the usage of that treasure, but now it seemed he could only kill him first!
"Hey, Yoma! You take one of my techniques too!" Meruem pointed his left hand at the ground and right hand at the sky. When Pitou died for Meruem's sake, Meruem thought of many things and understood much. This was a technique Meruem comprehended in that brief instant.
"Heaven above, earth below, I alone am supreme! Eight wildernesses and six directions, I alone am supreme!"
This was martial arts completely belonging to Meruem himself - Heaven above, earth below, I alone am supreme! Eight wildernesses and six directions, I alone am supreme!! If Netero's martial arts core was benevolence, Jed's martial arts core was hatred, and Beyond's martial arts core was offense, then incorporating the essence of Netero's Hundred-Type Guanyin Zero Style as well, the strongest technique was born - Heaven above, earth below, I alone am supreme! Eight wildernesses and six directions, I alone am supreme!
Then Meruem's martial arts core was domination! Kingly way! When a common man is angered, blood spatters five steps. When the Son of Heaven is angered, millions of corpses lie buried! This was the way belonging to Meruem - whoever touches my family, I'll kill his entire clan! That's right, actually Meruem had long ago treated Pitou as his own family, even as his lover.
It's just that he never admitted it himself. Is this love? This isn't love, this is just the feeling of liking. This was the answer Meruem got whenever he asked himself before. Until just now, he finally understood.
This is love.
"You dare touch what I love! I will kill kill kill kill!" Behind Meruem appeared a huge manifestation of - himself! Blood red color dyed through half the sky. The manifested self, like Meruem's true body, also pointed left hand to earth and right hand to heaven.
"This technique! Damn! Spatial Traverse! Phantom Space!" At this moment, Yoma felt danger. If Meruem's technique hit him, he might be severely injured! Even - death. At this moment he couldn't care about any treasure - saving his life was urgent. He hurriedly used the two strongest techniques he could deploy, hiding far away to escape this calamity. Unfortunately, he was still hit once by Meruem's attack at the last moment before leaving.
"Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will hunt you down. 'The Lost Canvas'? Yoma, next time we meet, I want you to die without a burial place!" After his body had become like that of a seven or eight-year-old, Meruem looked in the direction where Yoma disappeared and murmured. At the same time, all surviving Chimera Ants also received news that Meruem would soon lead them away from this world.
Without exception, all requested to leave. In the previous battle, countless Chimera Ants died, though humans also paid a huge price for it - countless Nen ability experts were completely buried within the East Gorteau Republic's royal palace.
Several days later, various countries reported this incident.
Subsequently, countries began severely cracking down on the Divine Church. Because the deity they worshipped disappeared and the church's experts had almost all left this world, the Divine Church was severely weakened and finally became completely underground.
And at this time, in a farm in a certain country, the former East Gorteau Republic president, Diego (the real one), spent his thirtieth year of farming when clear and reading when rainy.
Where is this? The air smells so good, completely different from the Hunter world. The air is filled with some kind of energy. Did the transmigration succeed?
My body feels so heavy, no strength, even my eyes won't open. Is this a side effect after transmigration? Probably not... it's because I overused I Alone Am Supreme. After all, using that technique in my condition at the time was too forced...
Then a certain green-skinned little boy fell into unconsciousness again.
Land of Fire, Konoha Village
"Did you hear? Uchiha Shisui, the most talented of the Uchiha clan, was assassinated in the village. They say even his eyeballs were gouged out."
"No way, I heard Shisui was already the strongest genius of the Uchiha clan, supposedly an expert even praised by the Hokage. How could he be assassinated? Was it ninjas from other countries?"
"I'll tell you quietly - I heard from my son's wife's uncle's cousin's sister, who's from the Uchiha clan, that Uchiha Shisui's death is related to the Uchiha clan leader's son, Uchiha Itachi."
"You mean that genius Itachi? Why would he do such a thing?"
"Who knows? Maybe jealousy."
Midnight, Konoha Village - Desolate mountain outside the Uchiha clan gathering place
"Big brother Shisui too... such a gentle big brother Shisui too..." A black straight-haired little girl about 8 or 9 years old walked forward while wiping her tears. On the left side of the little girl's head was a five-petal white plum-shaped flower ornament. From the fan pattern on the back of the little girl's clothes, she was from the Uchiha clan.
"I don't have any family or friends left now. Am I really someone who brings misfortune? The only person in the clan who would talk to me, big brother Shisui, is gone too... but I still haven't awakened my eyes. I'm really useless. Mom, Dad, what should I do?" The little girl closed her eyes and tightly grasped the red amulet at her chest, which had a golden character sewn on it. Tears fell drop by drop from the little girl's cheeks onto the ground.
"Ah!" Because the little girl was basically walking with her eyes closed, she didn't see the path ahead clearly and tripped over something. At this time, an owl on the desolate mountain also very cooperatively called out a few times, making the quiet hillside feel somewhat eerie. Quite the horror movie atmosphere.
The little girl suddenly remembered those horror stories the clan members told when bullying her, and she curled up into a ball, trembling all over. If someone came to comfort her now, they could definitely gain major favorability points! At least a 30% increase, but there was no one.
"You must be strong, be strong! Mom and Dad are watching me from heaven!" The little girl kept encouraging herself and finally mustered the courage to get up from the ground. But because she had cried earlier, there were still tear tracks on her face, plus rolling on the ground for a while made her whole little face look dirty, though those bright eyes were very attractive.
"Eh? Soft?" The little girl found that what had tripped her felt very strange, so out of curiosity she leaned her head over. There actually lay a little boy with obviously oversized and tattered clothes but very delicate features?
"Who is he? Why is he here? Is he dead? Why is his skin somewhat green?" The little girl was somewhat at a loss, with many questions constantly popping up from her cute little head.
But the little boy's rising and falling chest let the little girl know he was alive.
"What should I do? Report to the clan leader and others? But if I do that, this little boy will definitely be executed by the clan leader and others for trespassing on family territory." Then even more problems emerged.
"Mmm..." At this time, that little boy made a pained moan and his tightly furrowed brows again drew the little girl's attention.
"He feels like me..." Finally the little girl made a decision that might get her punished again, one she didn't even know was right or wrong. Save him, bring him back to her home. The little girl herself didn't know why she would make this somewhat crazy move that would definitely be punished if the clan knew. Her intuition told her she should do this.
"So heavy." The little girl gritted her teeth, put the little boy's arm over her shoulder, let the little boy's head rest against her other shoulder, supported his entire body with her whole frame, barely lifted him up, and walked step by step slowly toward her home.
The little boy leaned on the little girl's shoulder, his neck pressed tightly against the little boy's nose, and her faint scent continuously entered the little boy's nose.
"This scent smells so good." A thought emerged in the unconscious little boy's mind.
This day was a peaceful day in Konoha Village, but this night was not a peaceful night. Perhaps this world would change because of this night.
"Water... water..." After an unknown amount of time, Meruem felt his stamina and spirit had recovered quite a bit. He was no longer at the point where he didn't even have strength to open his eyes, but his throat still felt uncomfortably like it was burning. He subconsciously called out, though he didn't expect anyone would really give him water to drink.
However, something unexpected happened. Before long, his lips really felt moisture and water slowly flowed into his throat.
"Where is this?" Meruem subconsciously opened his eyes and found he wasn't lying in a desolate mountain, forest, or grassland as he had imagined, but was inside a house. And from the appearance and furnishings, it should be a girl's room.
At this time, Meruem also noticed the water cup at his lips and the little girl beside him holding the cup, feeding him water.
