Chapter 102 : No. 8!

Gon's tears fell to the ground, his hands pressed against the earth. He lowered his head, afraid to meet Killua's gaze, and choked out:

"I'm sorry, Killua!"

His apology extended beyond the words spoken to Killua in the video. It encompassed a recognition of his failure to consider the other party in the final explosion. The first sentence had likely shattered the other's heart, and he couldn't fathom whether the other party could survive the impending blast.

Killua placed a comforting hand on Gon's shoulder and spoke with a gentle smile:

"If you're apologizing, then let's prevent these futures from unfolding!"

He refrained from offering empty words of consolation, knowing their futility. Instead, he aimed to dispel Gon's thoughts of self-harm with Pitou. With his super-speed abilities, Killua could easily avoid the explosion's center, finding shelter behind and likely escaping serious injury or death. However, he kept this assurance to himself.

Although he had decided to part ways with Gon, genuine concern for the other's well-being lingered.

Gon, head bowed in anguish, found himself shaken by Killua's words. If Killua perished because of him, the weight of his sins would be unbearable.

Somewhere on the mainland, the shocked expression in Hisoka's eyes vanished, replaced by an excited smile.

"Endless grief and despair, culminating in the agony of unparalleled self-blame. To die together with the enemy as atonement for his sins!"

"He's truly an excellent child."

In the DC World, God sighed. The young man's soul hadn't succumbed to darkness; instead, it plunged into the hell he had constructed for himself. Death served both as atonement and a yearning for liberation.

In that moment, a voice echoed from the endless void:

"Rewards are beginning to be distributed, can use the form of future Gon, ten minutes a day."

Upon hearing this, Killua displayed surprise. It amounted to forced growth without paying any price!

"Extra rewards are issued!"

The darkened screen illuminated once more. A depiction of a young girl with purple pupils and red hair, identified as "Reincarnated Kite," appeared in the lower left corner.

Here is a corrected version of the translated passage:

At this point, the surroundings plunged into complete darkness.

Gon was momentarily stunned, and the next second, he disregarded the newfound power, leaping up with excitement to embrace Killua.

"Killua, Kite isn't dead! He's alive!"

Somewhere in the forest, the Ant King Meruem stared at the screen in amazement, feeling a strange blood connection.

In the Shinigami world,

In a large, dark stone chamber, three screens simultaneously faded away.

Yhwach observed his illusory right hand, riddled with cracks, and stood up.

Concealing his palm within the black cloak, he approached Ishida Uryū and spoke indifferently:

"Have you made your decision? Time is running out."

Ishida Uryū's face turned extremely pale as he gazed at his father, Ishida Ryūken, hanging upside down on the blue cross in mid-air. His eyes reflected pain and inner conflict.

Much like Gon in the video, Ishida Uryū now faced two choices.

These choices were presented to him by the Quincy King, Yhwach:

One, opt to go to the Soul Society and deceive Kurosaki Ichigo.

Two, witness his father Ishida Ryūken being killed before his eyes.

No matter which option he chose, it would lead him down a path to hell, mirroring Gon's fate.

Ishida Ryūken, devoid of strength to struggle, showed his emotions to his son for the first time. His eyes revealed distress.

As time elapsed, Yhwach, akin to a true Shinigami, uttered indifferently:

"Procrastination is futile. If you don't decide, I will choose for you."

The dark room brightened, and hundreds of small blue sacred annihilations were directed at Ishida Ryūken.

"I choose,"

An incredibly hoarse voice surfaced, and Ishida Uryū, unable to kneel on the ground, made a choice.

In the World of Demon Slayer, Doma's expression remained unchanged.

The video was as monotonous as ever, almost lulling him to sleep.

He couldn't comprehend pain, fear, or any emotions.

Well, except for the pleasure he felt when devouring a pretty girl.

Lost in thought, Doma displayed a gentle smile, as if he were a kind and considerate person.

Yet, in the next moment, he uttered devilish words:

"The fourteen-year-old girl who just joined the sDemon hunter Corps isn't bad. Let's feast on her tonight!"

Footsteps echoed, the wooden partition slid open, and a fiery red figure entered.

Lifting his head to reveal the flame-like pattern on his forehead, he declared:

"Girl—today, in the name of Doma, I will kill you here!"

And Doma also smiled at this time:

"I didn't expect that I really caught you out.

The world of Hokage, Land of Whirlpools.

The ruins of the Uzumaki clan are overgrown with weeds, and most of the houses have basically collapsed.

At this time, the three figures were dealing with a dilapidated shrine.

It was Minato, Kushina and Naruto.

Although they were working, the three of them had smiles on their faces, and the scene was very warm.

But at this moment, Minato and Kushina's smiles disappeared, and they turned to look at the same time.

A black space crack appeared, and then Uchiha Madara, wearing a white feather coat, walked out from it.

The two kept Naruto behind them and looked at Madara coldly.

They didn't forget that in the original timeline, the other party wanted to capture Nine Tails and become Ten Tails Jinchūriki!

Uchiha Madara stood there calmly, without further movement, and then said lightly:

"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to tell you some news."

"After obtaining Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's template, I not only gained strength but also some information."

Kushina didn't have a good face for this person who indirectly made her family miserable, and it was extremely rare not to attack.

At this time, she responded coldly:

"Heh, do you think I'll believe what someone like you says? You'd better leave now, or I don't know how much longer I can endure?"

Madara didn't want to communicate with the woman. He turned to look at Minato and continued:

"The information I got shows that the power of ninjas comes from another race in the universe, and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya is just one of their branch family member, in order to get the Chakra fruit, so…"

Minato frowned and took up the words:

"So since Kaguya didn't go back, this race will definitely come to our planet to check it out in the future!"

Madara nodded with admiration in his eyes, as expected of the Fourth Hokage, who was sharp and knew everything:

"I have the template of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya so I know how scary this race is, and the people who come here will definitely be stronger than Kaguya."

"Then it's another doomsday. And we, it's better to join forces!"

Kushina frowned and said:

"Just relying on a mouth and no evidence, do you think we will believe you!"

It's not that she said angry words. With Obito's example in front of her, she was stupid to believe that the other party was cerebral palsy.

At this moment, a huge amount of Chakra erupted from Naruto's body to form a human shape.

A figure wearing a nine-hooked jade feather coat with a black tin stick in front of him and nine Truth-Seeking Balls on his back sits cross-legged in the air.

He sighed and said slowly:

"Mother, you really are not from this world!"

At this moment, everyone raised their heads at the same time, and the screen appeared again,

9.8.7.3.2.1!

The screen lights up,

Scarlet evil red fills the entire picture, and a ferocious head screams in the sky!
