The Bridge of Pain is a Curse-Attachment-Type Nen Ability. Given the harsh conditions for activating it, its curse effects is unquestionable.
However, it is absolutely unrealistic to rely on it to achieve a 'one-for-one trade' with a top-tier fighter like Netero.
But-
Whether in terms of spirit or body, the current Netero was in an extremely weakened state.
Under these circumstances, the death warrior's Bridge of Pain has the possibility of being successfully activated, building a bridge connecting the powerful curse power on Netero's weak body!
If everything went smoothly...
Perhaps it would take less than an hour to curse Netero to death.
In this way, there is no need to worry about accidents like the Nen Exorcist interfering.
After all, the curse would complete its work so quickly, and there would be no time or opportunity for a Nen Exorcist to transfer the Post-Mortem Nen Curse.
Furthermore-
Nen Exorcists capable of removing Post-Mortem Nen Curses were already exceedingly rare.
Nasubi could almost vividly imagine Netero's gruesome death throes under the torment of the curse.
'It's almost there, it's almost there...'
The candlelight in the dark chamber quietly extinguished, leaving only a faint, fading whisper echoing up the stairs.
As the candle burned itself out and vanished from the world, this chamber, which is used specifically to 'cultivate' curse power, would forever be sealed beneath the darkness, never to be used again.
This is also one of the conditions for activating the Curse-Type Nen Ability.
And chambers like these were as numerous as roots, deeply embedded beneath the Kakin Empire.
In recent years, the world's understanding of Kakin Empire had largely been shaped by the 'Shinrinkan Incident' thirty years ago, hailed as the 'Most Silent Revolution in History'.
That revolution had brought earth-shaking changes to Kakin Empire.
But-
Is it really the most silent?
It's just that people from the outside world cannot see the many roots that are buried deep beneath Kakin Empire's surface.
However, such extreme darkness would never be exposed to sunlight.
…
Digital World's transit station.
"I lost again..."
Ickshonpe muttered inwardly as he watched the robot on the TV screen collapse into scrap.
This was his 339th consecutive loss against Moses.
During this process, no matter how he adjusted his strategies or playstyle, he still could not win.
That slimy green monster's skills and advantages always shone brilliantly in Moses's hands.
Even the lowest-damage abilities could be leveraged to devastating effect under Moses's tactical mastery.
'A true Tactical Genius...'
The term flashed through Ickshonpe's mind.
"Again!"
But soon, his competitive spirit was reignited and started the next match.
People often said that alcohol was the best way to bond between men.
But for Ickshonpe, playing games is the best way to enhance relationships, no doubt about it.
Therefore, after playing games with Moses for a while, he no longer needed to communicate via drawing board.
Ging was watching Moses and Ickshonpe playing games from behind. After watching for a long time, he couldn't help but feel itchy.
However, Ickshonpe showed no signs of yielding his seat, so Ging's plan to play a few games with Moses was dashed.
'Truly full of surprises.'
Ging's gaze shifted to Moses's back.
Whether it is the Nen Mastery or the gaming skills, it required significant time and effort to hone.
Some monsters, on the other hand, can accumulate experience and improve their levels faster by relying on their talents.
For example, Moses in front of him...
When Ging thought about Moses's age, he could only sigh in reluctant admiration.
'Let them have their fun...'
Ging couldn't go down to fight Moses for now, but he didn't want to stand back and watch the fight, so he quietly left the transit station.
His departure did nothing to dampen Ickshonpe's fighting spirit.
And Moses also didn't want to dampen Ickshonpe's interest, so he could only patiently play with Ickshonpe.
Anyway, for him, this was no different from his usual gaming sessions with Pyon, and it's just swapping one obsessive opponent for another.
Time passes.
It is unknown how much time has passed.
When Ickshonpe's defeat reached the 999 times, he did not directly start the next game.
'Even his 'endurance' is so strong...'
Ickshonpe turned his head to look at Moses beside him, and for a moment, he doubted his own existence.
This was his world, and strictly speaking, he is now a piece of data that does not know what fatigue is.
That's why he actually planned to use a 'protracted war' to wear down Moses's concentration.
But after playing 999 games in a row, Moses's operating accuracy was not affected at all. The endurance and concentration he showed seemed to be more like a data body than him...
'There's absolutely no way to win!'
Ickshonpe put down the game controller in a somewhat dejected manner.
Seeing this, Moses also put down the game controller and said with a smile: "Don't you want to play anymore?"
"Play!"
Ickshonpe straightened up suddenly and suggested, "But I don't want to play Dark Curtain anymore, let's play other games."
"…"
Moses was silent for a moment, and felt like slapping himself in the face.
'I shouldn't have asked whether he still wanted to play.'
Moses sighed softly in his heart.
Fortunately, he had long been accustomed to this kind of high-intensity gaming time. Moreover, he now had the powerful recovery ability of Zetsu: Resurgence, so it didn't matter even if he played for seven days and seven nights.
'Forget it, I'll accompany you to the end.'
Moses thought in his heart.
In order to help Kurapika get the important information, he can't miss this opportunity.
"I can play anything."
Moses nodded slightly towards Ickshonpe.
Ickshonpe grinned upon hearing this, revealing his sharp teeth.
In this way, the gaming continued for two days and two nights before Ickshonpe finally stopped with satisfaction.
It wasn't that he was bored or tired, but when he thought about taking Moses to the Digital World, he resisted the urge to continue playing.
After a moment,
Ging, who received the news, came to the transit station from the real world.
Perhaps knowing Ickshonpe's gaming addiction firsthand, he wasn't surprised by the two-day gaming marathon.
"Welcome to the Digital World."
Before their tour, after two full days, Ickshonpe finally gave Moses a proper welcome.
Then, Ickshonpe conjured up a controller and added a passage on the ground in front of him that led directly to the Digital World.
It was a green circular pipe planted on the ground, about half a meter high.
Moses looked at the green pipe that Ickshonpe had conjured, with surprise in his eyes.
'This thing, isn't it...'
'The warp pipe from Super Mario Bros.?'
Ging glanced at Moses's reaction, understood, and said with a smile: "Well, just as you thought, this is the pipe from the Super Majio game."
There are also many Earth's classic games in Hunter x Hunter World, including the famous Super Mario.
The names are different, but the background and gameplay are basically the same.
Seeing that Moses knew about the green pipeline, Ickshonpe skipped the explanations.
"Follow me."
Ickshonpe jumped onto the green pipe.
Then, under Moses's increasingly astonished gaze, Ickshonpe smoothly sank into the pipe.
'So similar...'
'No, it was identical.'
'So as long as he is in the Digital World, Ickshonpe can create all kinds of existences at will?'
'In a sense, this is the ability to allow imagination to freely evolve into 'existence'.'
'If this could be replicated in the real world...'
Moses was frightened by the thought that came to his mind at this moment.
Although he currently has the intention of continuing to develop new Nen Abilities…
But this is too unrealistic.
