Become Supreme Will from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 255 The Truth X Are you...human?

"No wonder we can't understand what's on those murals."

Anthony's lips were dry.

Although the stone statue in front of me has the shape and outline of a human being, it is not human.

The most important thing is that the species carved out of the stone statue and the accessories it wears... are actually humans.

The rings on her hands and the necklace around her neck are all made of human skulls.

"It's really the worst truth." Long said in a deep voice.

He had just finished telling the three of them his conjecture, but now he felt like he was being slapped in the face.

I had seen a scene in the stone paintings of the Bozwa tribe, that is, the ancestors of the Bozwa tribe surrounded a mother monster, and one by one took the initiative to put it into its mouth and was eaten... In fact, this has already foreshadowed the human race The ancestors’ situation in the Dark Continent.

However, I just think it's not that simple.

But what I saw in front of me confirmed the heritage of the Bozwa people.

Why would a human city build a stone statue of a monster and place it in the center? Judging from the topography of this place, it seems to be a place of worship.

And this creature obviously has malicious intentions towards humans, but humans respect it like a god.

This was the truth that Yun was least willing to accept...so he didn't say it.

The tablet beneath the monster stone statue is engraved with incomprehensible words and images.

It is exactly the same as the patterns on other buildings in the city.

The reason why they couldn't understand it was because what was recorded on it was not the past or civilization of this human city... but the history of this monster and this race in front of them. It was a memory that did not belong to humans!Hao walked around the stone statue. Even though the mural was generally incomprehensible, he could vaguely discern some of it.

Human beings... are just too weak, without the so-called aura and various renderings.

For countless years, the ancestors of mankind have been living in the Dark Continent, clinging to powerful creatures in a despicable way.

Although human beings have developed their own way of survival and means of controlling life energy, they are still incomparable to the powerful life forms scattered throughout the Dark Continent.

The only thing that can be done...is reproduce.

Keep reproducing children so that humans will not be extinct.

Keep the fire alive…

Until one day, someone who returned from the sea discovered a small island in the lake. There were no terrible life forms there... suitable for human habitation, so he chose to migrate.

Just like the initial guess, humans... were kicked out.

Eliminated from the food chain.

"That is to say...in the long years, the human race has never stood out from the Dark Continent and has always been at the lowest end of the food chain. It is precisely because it is too weak that it is ignored..."

After a while, Hao finished reading the patterns on the stone wall and closed his eyes.

The emergence of the island in the lake saved the life of the human race.

That's it.

The truth... is always bloody and naked.

"team leader…"

Seeing his expression, Men Qi hesitated to speak.

Some thoughts flashed through his hazy mind. His previous speculations were not without reason.

The door and wall guarded by the gatekeeper are obviously the creations of human civilization.

Furthermore, the pattern of the Kuluta tribe’s clothing is very similar to that door, which means that there are humans living in the core of the Dark Continent.

"This shouldn't be the whole truth, just part of it..."

Hao opened his eyes and took a deep breath: "There should be differences among the human groups living on this continent. The conditions outside the wall are different from those inside the wall."

"According to my observations, judging from the characteristics of the food chain and ecology, the weaker the race will be driven to the edge of the Dark Continent, while the more powerful the race will live in the center of the continent, the entire Dark Continent is very It may be the high and low sequences eliminated by countless food chains. The high-level groups are inside the gate, and the low-level species are outside the door... The human group is not unified, and it is very likely that they are fighting on their own."

After all, the facts were before his eyes, and he couldn't help but not believe them.

There are just some doubts in his mind that have not yet been revealed.

At this moment, suddenly, a beautiful melody sounded in the square where the stone statue stood.

Men and Qi's hair stood on end, and they immediately got into fighting stances.

Looking around the site, there are actually many small stone sculptures of living things that are exactly the same as the stone statues. Each one is more than three meters high. I don’t know if I feel their breath of life. A dozen small stone sculptures suddenly rotate like music boxes. , and began to pluck and play the instrument in his hand.

Although the stone creature has the same appearance and body as a human being, the polishing method is very rough, so that at first glance, it looks like erected columns, and the lines of the body are not carefully carved.The thing in his hand was not an instrument familiar to them, so they didn't recognize it at first.

The bodies of both large and small stone statues seem to have a thick layer of hair.

The back of the head protrudes outward.

As soon as the melody sounded, Men Qi and the others immediately used their mind power to protect themselves and at the same time blocked their five senses. However, it was of no use.

They still seem to be able to 'hear' sounds.

The muscles on Anthony's face began to squirm, as if the skull and skin were beginning to twist and deform...

Wrinkles quickly appeared on Men Qi's face, making him look older.Soul attack!

Hagi is all too familiar with this ability.

A wall made of black mist instantly enveloped the three of them.

In Hazy's eyes, the space here began to fill with strange fluctuations as the music played... There were soul lines like musical notation floating in the air.

"The Demon King's Dark Sonata?"

"Is this the Demon King?"

Hazy pupils shrank.

Finally, he bumped into a dangerous source who had soul abilities just like him.

This was expected.

It's just that...this stone creature doesn't look like a demon king.

The Dark Sonata is a solo piece composed by the Demon King, played by piano, violin, harp and flute... and the instruments in the hands of these small stone statues are not these four.

The 'staff' that others couldn't see lingered in the space and kept hitting Hao's body. The notes disappeared one by one, obviously having no effect on Hao.

"No wonder I can't find it... It's not difficult for fellow users of soul energy to avoid my perception."

Lun suddenly understood.

Suddenly he waved his hand, and air waves roared in the air.

All the rotating stone statues were instantly beaten into powder and shattered.

But...the music didn't stop.

Hao slowly turned around, looked at the tall stone statue, and said calmly: "Come out..."

As the words fell, the base-like stone surface suddenly parted to both sides, revealing an open passage.

Then, a group of strange, disgusting-looking creatures wearing black robes walked out.

Some of them still retain flesh and blood, but their limbs and appearance are completely deformed, which is simply more disgusting than the earthworms in the Yin Beast... Among them, under a black robe is a moving white skeleton.

A complete skeleton.

But there is soul fire burning in the eye sockets... somewhat similar to the necromancer in the memory of his past life.

These weird creatures...are all humans.

Now I understand what these stone statues are... they are human beings!
They are just humans who mutated after listening to something like "Dark Sonata".

Hao glanced at them with his telekinesis ability, 'Spiritual Vision'. These deformed and mutated groups not only had bodies, but also souls...the soul fire in their bodies was not burning, but looked like a ball of mucus.

Only the white skeleton was different.

"I should have thought of that..."

Seeing this, Hazy let out a breath of turbid air.

Since weak humans need to cling to powerful creatures and live like parasites, they will naturally become 'slaves' to all kinds of life forms.

In the human world, consciousness disappears after death. Only a few people with mind ability can awaken the mind after death, but it is only a single obsession and a group of consciousness.

But for advanced creatures in the Dark Continent, such as the Demon King... it allows the soul to be completely protected, abandoning the body through the method of after-death thoughts, and having an independent spiritual will.

The soul is also energy, but it is unconventional energy... which also shows that the devil's method of controlling energy is unfathomable.

From this point of view alone, it is far from possible.

The spirit body in his ghost mist is controlled by him, just like a puppet.

There is no memory or thinking from his lifetime.

It is even less possible to escape too far away and run out alone.

In addition, the special environment of the Dark Continent also makes things that seemed impossible in the human world become common sense.

This black-robed body with white bones is the true meaning of 'still alive after death'.

"Apostle of the Demon King? Follower?"

Hazy asked coldly.

The soul fire in the skull's eyes swayed, as if he was also very curious about Hazy.

Its mouth trembled, and the words and syllables it produced were completely incomprehensible to Hazy.

Clearly the language of some ancient or other group.

However, the two can communicate through soul fluctuations.

"Are you...human?"

What Bai Gu said next made Haodu slightly surprised.

This guy doesn't seem to think he is a 'person'.

Then what is he?
