"No matter how strong individual power is, it cannot defeat the force of the masses... This is why 'God' is regarded as 'God'...." The words Jager said years ago still linger in the air... Netero remained silent, seemingly lost in recollection.
Beside him, Maha, who was stared at by Roy with a tilted head, said expressionlessly, "Without hope, there will be no disappointment...."
Maha's half-clouded gaze swept across Brook Sell and Severus, and at one point, he reached out and grabbed Betty Zoldyck's hand, murmuring, "They are already dead, even if told, what use is it?"
The dead are like a extinguished lamp, memories remain just memories... Roy silently raised his eyes, looking at the living faces of Brook Sell and Severus, as if they were truly standing before him.
The young man raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and inserted them into his hair, just as he had said to Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni earlier... Only illusions and moon in the water, his lips subtly forming a confident smile: "Grandfather, I can't pretend I didn't hear your words, nor do I... agree...."
The young man stepped forward one step, lifted his chin slightly, and smiled at the two giants in front of him, as well as the men and women standing behind them: "Quite right, I have indeed embarked on the path of 'Faith' and—"
Roy paused, under the gaze of Netero and Maha, and the excited exchange of gazes of Brook Sell and Severus, resolutely declared, "I have a way to resurrect everyone."
"Boom~" A stone stirs a thousand waves,
instantly,
The ruined royal hall seemed to be muted, became silent, then... within two breaths, erupted into a cacophony!
Visibly, many people looked at each other, whispered among themselves, discussing quietly!
In the Hunter's world, 'resurrection' is not entirely impossible, at least, from Roy's perspective, there are already three methods demonstrated in the original work.
First: Resurrection through 'Posthumous Nenryoku', like Sisko and Jade... by planting a strong emotional seed in life, activating 'Posthumous Nenryoku' or 'Resentment', achieving resurrection,
Second: 'Reincarnation', retaining all past memories, reborn with memories through another's womb, like... Kate, and his passive Nen ability... 'Absolute Endurance',
Third: Wishful thinking with the yet unborn younger brother Alluka, using Nanika's eccentric mechanism, 'wishful' resurrection, like... Gon....
In short, resurrection is not impossible,
"Your Majesty... is what the Young Master said... true?"
"Can we really see daylight again?"
"Your Majesty... Young Master... I don't need to resurrect... after all, I am just a cheap life, living is meaningless, but my child is still young, if there's a chance... I hope he can live again, to truly see our world...."
"Yes, Your Majesty... Young Master, my granddaughter is not even one year old yet, she knows nothing, if resurrection is possible, can the old woman's quota be exchanged for her? I'm old and can't move anymore, didn't help Your Majesty much in life, and death is just death, not a pity...."
"Hoo~" Again, a breeze swept over the lake surface, blowing in,
whispering louder, escalating... Visibly, several living memories in Maha's mind, either hugging a baby granddaughter or holding their daughter or son, bowed deeply to Maha and Roy....
Suddenly, a sharp shout echoed, connecting to the thundering dragon above, roaring in the sky!
"Silence!"
Then, Brook Sell suddenly turned around, his breath mingling with killing intent, and swept across with 'Ren', extinguishing all pleading and clamor....
At the right moment, the man turned to Roy and Maha, solemnly pleaded for forgiveness: "Subordinate's management was ineffective, please Your Majesty, Young Master, punish...."
Roy looked at Maha,
The old man seemed dry and devoid of past glory, if it weren't for the close proximity, through the 'True Eyes' that could see through illusions, he vaguely saw an astonishing force hidden within the grandfather, not to be ignored, like a dormant volcano's formidable power....
Roy remained silent, accompanying Netero, silently watched Maha, cautiously approached, his bald head already scalped with not many hairs left, bent down, kneeled, holding Brook Sell's arm, personally helped him up, gently said: "Wanting to live, what's wrong with that?"
"Brook,"
"Severus,"
"Shaun,"
Maha's gaze shifted warmly, calling out other names, turned and deeply looked at Roy: "You all died because of me, as your king, I should undertake the mission of reviving you,"
"The blame lies in me being too weak, I have no ability, I can only preserve everyone's true spirit in this way, so if there's blame... the person to blame is not you, but... me...."
Upon finishing, Maha solemnly bowed before everyone... Perhaps it was pent up inside for a long time, or perhaps... unwilling to revisit past pains, when the old man bent down and lowered his head,
Roy faintly saw Maha quietly breath a sigh of relief, as if releasing all his unspeakable emotions accumulated over the years at once... making Roy and Netero deeply moved, speechless.
Though national martyrdom is indeed heroic, the tragedy and suffering within are known only to Maha and those who followed him, believed in him, unconditionally regarded him as hope... Just like,
Wutong to Roy, all Hashira to Roy, Itachi, Shisui and the Uchiha to Roy, the deeper the bond, the more impossible it is to sever, the harder it is to cut!
"Kid, do you really have confidence?" Silently, a Nenryoku carrying Sense reached Roy's ear,
Netero tilted his head and glanced at the young man, kindly said, "Be careful about ending."
Roy didn't answer, nor did he speak, just opened his mind, allowing Netero to see....
Then... within the Heart Drop·Punch Listening X Heart Drop·Sword Listening intertwining world....
In the midst of chaos, a glimmer of light suddenly shot out from the mist....
Initially, this light was faint, not easily noticeable but... as the heart's mist was slowly dispelled, the light grew brighter, more numerous, quickly attracting the attention of Netero, Maha, Brook Sell and Severus....
Right in the midst of Maha's apology, the men and women who hadn't reacted subconsciously followed the light....
At the end of light, through the chaotic mist, rising gently behind Roy was a red sun radiating light and heat, surrounded by cosmic stars, slowly ascending... making it impossible to look away....
"The sun... mom, look it's the sun..."
"Yes... the sun, it's... sunrise!"
God bless... how long have they not seen the sun... Someone opened their arms, raised their heads to embrace the sunlight....
Some closed their eyes, indulging in the warm sunlight against their faces, like irrigating their hearts, infusing them with energy....
Some children broke free from adults, laughing and running towards the sun...
Some old women staggered, pushed by their family, basked in warmth.....
As the last bit of mist dispersed, the red sun leapt over Roy's head, unfolding thousands of rays of dawn, ten thousand beams of light, illuminating the resentment and darkness buried in everyone's heart....
"Squeak~ Squeak~" Dozens of 'Heart Bugs' moved by Roy's mind, slowly crawled towards everyone's heart along the lines of causality....
