Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 410: What a Hunter Should Do Is Actually Always Pure

Dong first glanced at the box, then looked up: "Why?"

German replied calmly: "Didn't you say before that you came here for Nitolome? You gave us such important information, we should give you something in return."

Dong was silent for a while, and said without pretense: "Thank you, I'll take it."

He does need to extend his lifespan. As someone who has been promoted to "God's Chosen One", he has already lived a very long life, but it still has an end.

If he wants true "immortality", he must submit to the "demigods" and become one of their "apostles".

But Dong has already rejected "flesh and blood" and is unwilling to become a hideous monster, so naturally he will not bow down to other "demigods".

When Germain returned to the campfire, Dong stood up and solemnly picked up the box.

He touched it with his palm, and the box turned into a line of "text" and was printed on the page of the book he opened.

Dong walked back into the shadows, but instead of sitting down, he turned around and stared at Germain.

"You're not going to give up, are you?" he asked suddenly.

Germain was silent.

Jin and Biscuit both raised their heads.

They already knew what Dong was asking Germain, and at the same time, they could guess Germain's answer.

Biscuit felt the most amazing about this.

At first, Germain and King were the most enthusiastic about exploring the Dark Continent, while she and other members were more cautious.

Now, even Jin has concerns about the future, but German remains so determined.

He still wanted to move forward, but not recklessly.

Dong also saw what Germain was thinking.

"You still plan to continue, even if you run into them and become a half-human, half-ghost like me, right?"

"Even if you don't consider yourself, consider your companions behind you... I didn't start out alone."

Dong briefly fell into reminiscence, thinking of his deceased companions. After hundreds of years, their faces had become blurred in his memory.

He asked somewhat sadly: "Do you really want to become the person I am now?"

Germain shook his head.

"We are different people," German replied. "I will never be like you."

Dong was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing.

He didn't expect that after saying so much, instead of discouraging Germann, it seemed to ignite the other party's fighting spirit.

What a strange young man.

"Then let me tell you more... I didn't intend to tell you this part, in case it's hard for you to accept it for the time being."

Everyone was once again attracted by Dong's serious tone.

"Above the 'Apostle of God' there is the 'Demigod', above the 'Demigod' there is the 'Red Moon'... and above the 'Red Moon'?"

Germain frowned.

Dong smiled and continued.

"Have you ever thought about where our "psychic ability" comes from?"

There was a dead silence.

Dong raised his head and looked up at the crescent moon and the starry sky.

"Our planet is just one of the countless planets in the vast universe. It is so small that it cannot even be counted as a grain of sand."

"The real 'God' is in the depths of the universe. He is extremely powerful. A planet is just a meal for Him. All 'mind abilities' come from Him."

"Under His influence, our planet is just a fruit that is gradually ripening."

"Red Moon is his loyal servant, guarding this fruit for him, blocking the sky, blocking the speed, making it impossible for everything on the planet to escape the shackles."

"I'm afraid there are only 500 years left before the planet matures and is swallowed up by the 'God' of the universe."

"By then, the only ones who can retain their own will in the "Outer God Devouring" and achieve immortality with their souls are the "Red Moon" and the "Demigods."

"Why did "Gu Yuan" and "Flesh and Blood" start the "God War"? Because they want to keep their "demigod" status, they need more regions and lives. "

"When faced with the Outer God Devouring, even the Demigods are so terrified that they are willing to protect themselves at all costs. You can understand how terrifying the Outer Gods are."

"German, even if you do your best, it's not as simple as an ant trying to shake a tree. What you are shaking is the inescapable fate of being swallowed up."

This heavy "truth" is the "knowledge" he gained when he faced "flesh and blood" directly.

Dong wasn't using them to taunt Germain.

He was just reminding German that perhaps he should devote all his passion to a more promising future.

He was very worried that if he didn't make it clear to Germain in advance, when Germain discovered the truth himself, he would be as disheartened as he was at that time.

The more you know, the less joy you have.

After hearing this, Jin and Bisiji felt like they were struck by lightning and their bodies turned cold.

If this is the truth... then what is the point of humanity returning to the Dark Continent?

Anyway, whether in the Dark Continent or the Six Continents, one cannot escape the fate of being "swallowed by the Outer Gods".

Returning to the Dark Continent would require the sacrifice of countless lives. What is the meaning of such sacrifice?
Xiaodi didn't react at all. She understood clearly that there were still more than 500 years to go.

By that time, she and Germain had already died, her and Germain's children had also died, and her grandson must have died as well. As for the rest, that was all irrelevant.

German stood there silently for a long time, then he was somewhat surprised and figured out many of the details.

In fact, President Netero also guessed some of the truth.

He had discussed this with Germain on the airship that he took back to the Hunter Association last year. Why is the airship still the most commonly used means of aerial transportation in the human world?

Why has the human world not yet been able to launch carrier rockets and orbital satellites into outer space in order to overlook the entire dark continent?
Because he was mentally prepared, German was silent for a while and then reached into his arms.

Dong looked at him strangely.

He didn't understand why the young man reacted like that.

Could it be that there is nothing more sad than a dead heart, and one is unable to accept the reality to the point of collapse?
Then he saw German take out a strange "small hard box".

"This is a cell phone," German told him. "In the six continents, no matter how far apart we are, as long as there is a signal, people can use it to communicate in a timely manner."

"We also have something called the 'Internet', through which we share most of the 'knowledge' of the six continents."

"Our bombs have different powers. One of them, called 'The Poor Man's Rose', is powerful enough to kill those 'disasters' and cause them to begin reincarnation early."

Dong frowned, shook his head, and said: "These things you are talking about should be the inventions I made after leaving the Six Continents... I admit that they are amazing."

"But even if they are combined, they are not enough to defeat the Red Moon, the Demigod, let alone the Outer God in the Depths of the Universe."

"Don't you understand? Even if the power of these shells is increased by a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand times, it is meaningless to the Outer Gods!"

Dong said this with some excitement.

He quickly realized this and tried his best to calm down.

When he felt better, he said:

"I know that you will feel very uncomfortable when you first hear the truth about the universe. I was also like this at that time. I was confused for a long time, but..."

"No," interrupted Germain suddenly, "that's not what I meant."

Dong looked up in surprise.

You don't mean that, what do you mean?
Germain lit up his phone screen.

The light from the screen seemed dim in the darkness, but it was also quite conspicuous.

Others also looked at him.

"These human creations have all appeared in a concentrated burst within the last hundred years. They are not accidental products, but inevitable results of social development."

"You said we still have more than 500 years, right?"

Dong nodded somewhat dully.

"That's good." German said calmly, "To be honest, I don't understand scientific creation. I only know how to be a hunter and hunt my prey."

"The demigods have occupied the Dark Continent and control the vast majority of resources, all of which are what human society dreams of."

"The Red Moon occupied the sky, blocking speed and altitude."

"If they all die, then all obstacles standing in the way of humanity will disappear."

"Humanity can make full use of the resources of the Dark Continent to develop all kinds of science and technology, while breaking through the atmosphere and reaching outer space."

"Within fifty years, we will be able to send humans into space."

"Within five hundred years, we will definitely be able to leave this planet and migrate across the universe like humans did more than two thousand years ago."

"Perhaps there is really no way to defeat an enemy like the Outer Gods, but at least we can avoid them."

“He wants ripe fruit, so give it to Him, and we will go find the unripe fruit.”

"That's my answer."

Dong never expected that he would hear such ideas from Germain, let alone that Germain would call "Red Moon" and "Demigods" "obstacles".

How arrogant is this?!

But...

When Jin, Biscuit and Xiaodi were also stunned, Dong burst into laughter.

This was the most hearty laugh he had had since they met.

"It seems that I, who am in the Dark Continent, may not know more or see further."

Dong took out a silver bell and shook it a few times, which made a crisp sound.

Da da da--

A black horse appeared in front of Dong with all four hooves moving.

Everyone looked and found that the horse was actually made of black mist... It was a "night attack species"!
Dong flew up and rode on the "night attack black horse".

"I've been here too long, and it's time to leave."

He pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and looked down at everyone.

"I've come to the right place to see the enterprising descendants, the considerate younger generations, and the young people with extraordinary abilities."

"More importantly, Germain, I met you."

"Just let me see what you can do. If you just talk, there's no need for us to meet again."

"If you are serious, when you want to go to the "Realm of Flesh and Blood Demigods" on the west coast, I will be your most reliable guide."

"Everyone, see you again."

Dong pulled the reins again.

"Night Attack Black Horse" stepped silently and took Dong away at the speed of flying, not giving anyone a chance to stop him.

Jin showed a regretful look.

He still had many questions to ask, but now he could only watch Dong's figure disappear into the night like Bisiji, Xiaodi and the others.

And Germain was already looking up at the sky.
