Roy gave a slight smile and raised a finger to the sky, "The one wearing eyeshadow is called Orochimaru, and the one in the blue vest is Tobirama of the Thousand-Handed clan. They invented the [Impure World Reincarnation]... in a dream,"
"I once had a face-off with Orochimaru, so I know a little about it....."
Wait... what "dream"? What "dream person"?
Netero suddenly cast a sharp gaze, his eyes flashing intensely as he looked directly at Roy and said, "Kid, do you have two types of Nenryoku?"
He already knew about the Ren developed with the [Sun] as the object of meditation... but what is the Ren developed with [Dream] as the object?
"Thump... thump....." His heart skipped a beat....
Netero squinted at Roy, feeling an increasing sense of dread....
It's been years, ever since the time he faced Maha, getting beaten and kicked out of the Zoldyck Family, this chill had never surfaced... a strange yet undeniable sensation appeared on Roy, instantly taking Netero back in time, re-experiencing his first landing on the Dark Continent with Linne and Jager, encountering [Disaster] right after the [Sand Worm], nearly dying on the spot... impossible to recall, unwilling to remember...
"Netero, you're talking too much!" A calm, ghostly gaze suddenly shifted toward Netero.
Maha squinted his old eyes dangerously... and Netero squinted his eyes in response, pretending to look at the sky and laughed, saying no more.
Although Roy didn't say anything, judging from the old man's protective reaction, it was about eighty to ninety percent certain that Roy possessed two or even more different types of "Nenryoku"....
As for,
whether he "acquired" it from "followers" or developed it himself... Netero didn't even think about it, concluding the latter,
because... the [Spiritual World] doesn't lie,
In Roy's heart, unlike Maha, at this stage, there was no trace of any "follower".
"Tweet~" A few waterfowl skimmed over the heart lake, letting out soft chirps, causing the heart lake to ripple, shimmering with waves... after Netero's sudden banter......
After Maha warned him, he took another deep look at Roy, and said, "Tell me, what price do you have to pay?"
The world of "Nenryoku" is not boundless... just like the "Law of Equivalent Exchange" that truly exists... as someone who has delved into [Nen] for countless years, Maha thought about [cost] in an instant!
Just like how Kurapika manifested [Chains] at the cost of "Revenge on Spiders", it has special attacks against "Spiders" but reduced power against others,
Also, the overuse of Sharingan can lead to blindness,
Making a wish to Nanika must follow the [demand] and [request] mechanism,
Anyone who understands [Nen] knows that "Nenryoku" cannot be used recklessly, and "Nen Amount" cannot be squandered freely.....
Maha's words were like a big bell ringing "Dong~"......
The sound wave radiated out, immediately capturing the attention of Netero, Brook Kaiser, and others,
Netero watched his nose, his nose watched his heart, pretending to have nothing to do with it, indifferent....
Brook Kaiser, Severus, and even Betty all involuntarily frowned, the latter even quietly clutched Maha's hand, clearly... also thinking about this issue.
However, does [Impure World Reincarnation] have side effects? Does casting it require a price?
The answer is yes,
[Impure World Reincarnation] not only has side effects, but also has defects on the combat and control levels,
Simply put... First, the caster's lifespan will deplete: casting [Impure World Reincarnation] will reduce lifespan, especially for those with low chakra or life energy, the effect is most obvious.
Second, living human sacrifices required: the technique must sacrifice living humans as sacrifices, which not only violates ethics but also imposes practical operational constraints, the most direct manifestation being in quantity.
Third, damage to the souls of the deceased: casting [Impure World Reincarnation] forcibly summons the souls of the dead back to the Current World and controls them, causing the souls to passively endure the pain of enslavement, a desecration of the dead.
Combat and control level... First, strength cannot be fully restored: even when using cells from Hashira of the Thousand-Handed clan, the Impure Body cannot fully recreate the dead's lifetime strength, leaving a significant gap.
Second, unstable will: the Impure Body retains the deceased's will, and once summoned back, it might engage passively or even rebel due to emotional fluctuations (e.g., attachment to companions) (Note: forcibly suppressing the will results in losing combat wisdom and experience, turning into a mechanical puppet).
Third, easy to counter: some powerful beings like Itachi Uchiha, Hashira of the Thousand-Handed clan, Tobirama, etc., can break free from control with strong will or special abilities.
As for other restrictions, such as chakra not being infinite... the chakra amount in the Impure Body is based on its alive level, although it can replenish quickly, it may run out during high-energy-consuming techniques (like Susanoo), limiting its use... etc.,
One could say, the constraints are exceptionally many,
and... this is the [cost] that must be paid for [Resurrection],
Roy, in a few words, explicitly shared all the information he learned, without hiding anything... including Maha, Netero, Betty, and Brook Kaiser, quietly listening,
Just on the first point... the cost the caster needs to bear is a reduction in "lifespan", which Maha dismissed without a second thought...
"The old man's mistakes don't need you to cover for them!" As stubborn as the Zoldyck Family is, once they dig their heels in, it's difficult to pull them back like a stubborn mule,
Not giving Roy a chance to speak, Maha turned and broke the [Spiritual Space], dragging the royal court, along with Betty, Brook Kaiser, Severus, and other men and women following him to face death.....
But hearing a soft "pop~",
The [Spiritual World] forged by intertwining [Heart Drop·Punch Listening] with [Heart Drop·Sword Listening] shattered,
Revealing the outside world's sun and wind, and two souls returning to their physical forms, exchanged a look and returned to their bodies.
"Buzz..." The countless illusory little swords scattered across the Zoldyck Family's residence abruptly vanished....
Once Roy returned to his room, his soul reentered his body, and slowly opened his eyes. A face was so close to his, separated by less than five centimeters, that he could clearly feel the other's breath,
Roy grabbed Illumi's head with one hand, pushing him back... "When did you get here?"
"I've been here a while."
"What are you doing here?"
Illumi didn't answer, just stared at Roy with hollow, vacant eyes and asked, "What's so good about that Kurapika? Why do you want to see him as soon as he arrives?"
"Are you unhappy?"
"Am I?"
"No, then why are you asking?" Roy shifted his thoughts, recalling the [Heart Bug],
Listening to the panel prompt...
[Yin Dun: Level 4: 99081/100,000 → Level 5: 1/1,000,000]
[Detected, conditions met for activating "Mangekyo Sharingan"]
His eyes turned red for a moment and quickly suppressed it.....
"Your eyes!"
"What?"
"Just now... they turned red...."
"Oh~ really...." Roy lowered his gaze, took a deep breath, completely suppressing the urge to activate his Mangekyo Sharingan, then raised his head and gently smiled at Illumi, "Maybe I didn't sleep well yesterday, a bit of bloodshot,"
Illumi suspiciously moved closer again, and was pushed back by Roy once more,
"Alright, don't overthink it,"
The boy helplessly rolled his eyes at the silly Mamen Beans and said, "Kurapika does have exceptional qualities, but not in the way you're thinking. You'll find out in the future."
"Oh," Illumi said, cat-like, standing up and looking back at Roy's eyes once more, seeing Roy's clear gaze without any "red trace", the boy stepped into the shadows and disappeared.
At this point,
The bedroom door knocked.
"Knock, knock, knock...."
Kurajing's sweet voice rang out,
"Young master, are you in there?"
Roy took a light breath at the right time, and with one glance, penetrated the wooden door, looking outside....
