Kitaro and Akira

With this new Hatsu, a goal was born, to seize the talent in Nen of Tserriednich, his talent would make him an important soldier but Skotadi did not like him, he was arrogant, intelligent, sometimes interesting and others very strange , that would be boring.

So before he developed his annoying ability to see 10 sec into the future, Skotadi wanted to deal with it, if he would rather kill himself seeing that in any case there were no loopholes, that would be waste.

No suspense, everything happened very quickly, the beast of Nen did not understand anything, once his host died she, he or whatever it is died, then emptying of blood, absorption of his talent for himself and destroyed personality.

Skotadi had only 26 future monster level soldiers, out of the previous thousands he was really greedy but imagine being banned from candy all your life and one day you found out about it...

10 brigade members, 26 talents to cultivate, Hisoka and Meruem, these were the members he would use.

In order of power from strongest to weakest, this gave :

1. Meruem ;

2. Chrollo ;

3. Feitan, Hisoka ;

4. the others of the Brigade without much difference.

Skotadi and the 38 others, will be called the Phantom Troupe because it's damn cool.

"Meruem."

"Can't you see I'm focused ? Talk to your clones if you're bored." The King replied concentrated on his training.

"Oh come on don't be like that, I know being bad at Gun-gi, I don't fit your criteria for friendship. I wanted to know why you wanted to be the king of the world and if you were talking about humanity or the whole planet ?"

"Idiot, obviously I wanted to talk about the whole world, I wanted to satisfy my desire for conquest, then after meeting different humans, I wanted to save this kind from the oppression of those in power. I guess it comes from my human side, I don't know, but now I don't know what to think.

These assassins could rule the world, but they don't, I admire them for not giving in to this temptation, but I despise them for leaving their own race in the hands of incompetent people.

It doesn't matter to you, what exactly do you plan to do on the Dark Continent ?"

"We are alike on this point, is this this famous existential crisis that adolescents go through ?"

"Ahah, I hope you're happy, I'm not focused anymore." Meruem laughed lightly.

"I don't really have a plan actually, this place is too unrecognized to count on a plan. I will fight, evolve, try to expand my legion, seek intelligent lifeforms, seek two humans, maybe study the resources there and I would see."

After this discussion, the Phantom Troupe trained until the finish.

Having arrived at 1 month of travel, all the princes were dead except Benjamin Hoicoro, knowing that there was to be one person left, he looked everywhere, including in the room of Skotadi, but he found no one there.

Three days from the arrival, Skotadi with the appearance of Alucard, decided to fly to the mainland, anyway the king of Kakin would have tried to make believe that they had arrived by stopping on an island, which was the size of a human continent.

Once his foot was on the shore, he deployed Meruem, Chrollo and 3 of his avatars while staying away, indeed behind him a huge snake, sticking its head out of the water, it was burgundy red, and the part of his body that came out of the water was about 70 meters in length by 5 meters in width, electricity appeared and disappeared from his body.

An avatar created 100 clones that flew circling the snake and used Kô on their eyes, then brought out their laser vision, the snake opened its mouth, then as if it had no jaw, its mouth slid open flat, then Nen's threads came out of his throat and formed a shield where the lasers would land.

But at that moment the clones used "Gates" in front of the wards, and only a few inches from the snake, the burning lasers then seemed to teleport and hit the snake.

The beast didn't seem to be overpowering Ken, and in fact happened not to be resilient, it was covered with tiny holes, the lasers had completely gone through the 5 meters thick.

When the monster seemed to sink into Lake Mobius, after waiting nothing happened so Skotadi ignored it.

"Ok, we're just going to do some scouting, Meruem if you had done it before we got noticed, you would have noticed that the risk of getting killed was high, thanks to the weapons, the users of Nen etc...

But you had basic knowledge of the world, there it will be harder, everything is unknown, and if we don't find any extraordinary danger, we will create a kind of "road" on which we will get rid of everything, flora and fauna. If you find any danger, say so telepathically, we will all tackle it cautiously together."

"They are powerful especially this Chimera Ant and this kind of vampire, it's been a few weeks since they started to venture here, they seem to come from the direction of Lake Mobius." A humanoid being with turquoise skin, face without a nose, long black and white hair and all gray eyes, spoke.

"Yes, but their control of Nen is horrible, even without En, a child could predict their actions and thoughts by reading their aura." Another smaller but similar being responded with a slight arrogance.

"But their talent at both is above any being I have encountered in my life, if they were guided by good teachers, they could eventually become as strong as a Kodoku."

"Don't be stupid, It is not possible Akira."

"I just have a possibility although it is unlikely Kitaro, moreover you saw that in just three weeks, without training assiduously and guided by a competent person, their Nen techniques improved quickly."

"They are new, they strut around like they don't know anything in the world, I bet you that they have never known difficult fights and that if they were pushed around a little bit, they would stop fighting. train and would go back to where they came from. " Kitaro responded by sticking out his tongue, which looked like a snake's tongue.

The taller one, Akira, stuck his tongue out as well and replied, "Okay I accept the bet, but if they take your bullying, I want to introduce them to our father."

Skotadi and the others had come a long way since their arrival, they had created a kind of road with wooden fences on the sides, nothing very solid or aesthetic, but the life forms of the place had understood one thing, this groups very varied beings had conquered this territory of a strange shape, although none were truly gifted with intelligence superior to a normal animal, their instincts to survive the longest on the Dark Continent were exceptional.

But instinct could be fooled here, so after a few beasts served to test them, they quit for fear of wanting to anger them.

Manipulative Hatsu was what he lacked to complete "Talent Aspirator", and for many other situations he had of course some decent perks from "Pay to Win", but those perks would only get in the way opponent, this is only an aid to winning, of course against simple fights where the opponent is not subtle or expects the enemy to be subtle, these advantages can make a difference, huge difference.

In short, Skotadi although knowing this, had already been working on a Hatsu for a long time, he would definitely make him more comfortable in this world, and he would want a Hatsu going in the direction of a sacrifice-like condition, giving him a chance to the enemy to kill him for the manipulation to take effect, it would become more powerful.

But the details would have to be refined later.

"Yo nazes!" Kitaro waved his hand at Skotadi and Meruem who were meditating calmly.

None of them answered.

"Hey, don't be arrogant because you managed to deal with the weak !" The two opened their eyes, then closed them again.

At this moment Kitaro was pissed off, those two bastards had actually ignored him !

"Kitaro isn't it ? What is a Kodoku ?" Alucard spoke calmly, as if telling a peaceful story.

"Uh how do you know that? Hey wait ! Don't talk to me like that, I'm going to kick your ass, I'm not a kid anymore."

Kitaro gave off a dim light like the glow of a sunset, then he teleported in front of Meruem, that light that covered Kitaro moved and covered Meruem like a cloak, but whatever should have happened, it didn't not worked.

"You are predictable." Skotadi said softly.

'Me ? Am I predictable ?! The joke have we switched roles ? It's absurd.'

"How could you dispel my attack ?"

"Hatsu." was the only word slowly leaving Meruem's mouth.

Indeed, Photon of Meruem had been active for a long time, and he had managed to make it invisible by more training.

His ability allowed him to control the light within the perimeter of his En, he had felt this cloak of light should have made him lose control of his body, but the light had listened to him more than its owner.

"What ? Do you know Hatsu ? Why..."

"Of course, you don't use it so as not to reveal any cards, do you ?" Akira teleported to his brother's side.

"Absolutely, and like you said, our control is pretty pitiful, so we train without fighting with it." Meruem nodded.

"So what is a Kodoku ?"

"This is a form of plant life ..." Akira started but Kitaro cut him off : "Wait I can still beat them !"

"Maybe, but they heard it all, the bet is off, so like I said it is a plant life form, its true form is a leafless tree black in color, they can create humanoid avatars.

It is not known how they are born, they are lonely, and according to legends they are immortal.

They possess control over all non-living things, the amount and ease of control depends on their strength which is intimately related to their age.

The mastery of Nen of Kodoku is exceptional, from birth their strength is inhuman, depending on the shape of their tree their characteristics are different.

"Okay, do you live in a tribe?"

"Yes, we can bring you over, our father is a village elder." Akira responded as Kitaro gritted his teeth.

'Do he have any idea about us beating these trees?' Skotadi asked Meruem.

'No none, the bigger one just wanted to train us out of kindness, apparently the Dark Continent is not totally full of savages.'

So began the long awaited adventure by Skotadi on the Dark Continent.
