Without the Purple Smoke, it is naturally impossible to cross the sea and return to the Six Continents.
However, before heading to the Dark Continent, Moses had made an agreement with Killua and asked Ickshonpe to make some preparations.
The purpose is to get a chance to return when their retreat path is cut off.
Fortunately-
The phone signal in the Hunter x Hunter World defied logic. Within the scope of the known world map, signals could basically be received everywhere.
Moreover, the research and development of mobile phones was incredibly diverse, with all kinds of functions that dazzled the eye.
For this expedition to the Dark Continent, in order to run the translation software specially prepared by Pyon, each member of the team was equipped with the latest model of solar-powered phones.
Although they didn't get to use this translation software until the end, they were able to save a lot of precious photos of this trip with the phones.
When Moses and the others walked out of the wasteland, they were quite surprised to find that their phones could actually pick up a signal.
It might have been because their location was relatively close to the Six Continents.
It is also possible that V5 had long since extended their reach into the Uncharted Waters, so they had already solved the communication issues.
After all, there was a large supply transfer station built along the Far Ocean Boundary.
Or maybe it was because the Kakin Empire had already transported large numbers of humans to the hypothetical continent, and then relied on an endless supply of labor to complete a large amount of infrastructure work in a short time.
In any case, with the faint signal available, Moses could use Ickshonpe's help to reliably contact Killua, so that Killua can use the power of the 'Wishing Machine' to send them directly back to the Six Continents.
Originally, Moses had agreed with Killua that if there was no news from them after a year, Killua would seek Nanika's help and try to send them back.
But now that communication was possible, there was no need to wait for a year.
After many twists and turns-
Moses's backup plan proved its worth.
Without any warning, everyone who was resting suddenly felt their bodies become very light, as if they were floating in water.
But the next moment, that feeling of lightness disappeared, replaced by a sense of falling.
Before they could react, their feet had already touched the ground, and everything before their eyes had undergone a dramatic change.
In an instant, they found themselves in a large, empty room.
"Did we… make it back?"
Everyone looked around the room in confusion.
The walls were covered with diamond-patterned wallpaper, the floor was covered with dark brown wooden boards, and there was a plain floral chandelier hung from the ceiling. Other than that, there was nothing else.
This is a fairly ordinary room, though it carried a faint sense of age.
After quickly surveying the environment, everyone all turned their eyes to Moses.
A day ago, they had still been worrying about how to return, but they didn't expect that Moses had already prepared a backup plan long ago.
Now, a day later, they had returned to a room symbolizing human society in such an exaggerated and unbelievable way.
"We're back."
Moses answered everyone's doubts in a firm tone.
He hadn't revealed Nanika's existence to his teammates, nor could he let them see Killua and Nanika after their return.
Therefore, according to the prior agreement, the condition for using the ability was to send him and the surrounding humans to a house in the forest, which was the very place they were now.
"Take out your phone and have a look."
With those words, Moses pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
Aside from Ging and a few others, the rest instinctively took out their phones.
"Dear user, welcome to the Tora Region. Please..."
A text message had already quietly arrived in their phones under the do-not-disturb setting.
Outside the house.
Moses walked down the wooden steps and stopped under a large tree.
The house that serves as the teleportation point is located in a sparsely populated forest.
The house had been left unused for many years, so it was surrounded by weeds and seemed to be merging into the forest.
Moses raised his head and gazed at the white light filtering through the dense branches, and felt as if a long time had passed.
'First, I'll take care of the immediate matters, then head to Kukuroo Mountain as soon as possible.'
Slowly retracting his gaze, Moses thought to himself.
Regarding the Hunter Association's gains and achievements from this expedition, some arrangements would inevitably need to be made.
What can be confirmed is that-
The Hunter Association and their names would be etched into the annals of history with a bold stroke.
Though Moses was the current Chairman of the Hunter Association, he had no intention of getting involved in the aftermath.
He'll just leave the troublesome tasks like dealing with high-ranking officials or making public appearances for publicity to Cheadle and Beans.
After that, he would go to Kukuroo Mountain to secure freedom for Killua and Alluka.
This was his repayment.
So this time, Moses would only ask whether Killua and Alluka agreed, and wouldn't care whether the Zoldyck Family agreed or not.
If the Zoldyck Family disagrees, then he will just settle it with his fists.
As for the old monster from the Zoldyck Family...
Moses wasn't the least bit afraid.
With his current strength, just [Isolation] alone would make him invincible in the world.
It's a pity that the space-severing ability that he created with the Counterpoint Cornerstone can only be used on the Gatekeeper Clan.
Because the essence of the Counterpoint Cornerstone was to create an ability that countered a certain phenomenon.
And what Moses had needed at the time was an ability that could target Spudimen's power.
Therefore, the Counterpoint Cornerstone gave him the ability to cut through the power of [Isolation].
However, at the time, he had not thought that all Gatekeepers possessed this kind of defensive ability, which could be called absolutely impenetrable.
In other words-
His Counterpoint Cornerstone had created an offensive ability that could only be used against the Gatekeeper Clan.
Otherwise, with this space-severing power alone, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he could destroy the world, let alone just being invincible in the world.
…
A few days later.
The Hunter Association was in no hurry to announce the gains from their expedition to the Dark Continent. Instead, under Cheadle's leadership, they formed a specialized research team dedicated to studying [Growth Blood] and [Herb for All-illnesses].
Their main focus was exploring the possibility of using diluted Growth Blood to cultivate Herb for All-illnesses.
At the same time, they aimed to achieve the goal of 'replicating' or 'sustaining' these two Hopes.
As long as they can succeed, the entire human world would be sent into an uproar, shaken by their research results.
But until that moment arrived, the Hunter Association will not release any information for the time being.
However, even though the Hunter Association immediately implemented strict confidentiality measures, it was not able to hide the matters from the eyes of V6 and the International Permit Agencies.
Regarding this matter, aside from handing full authority to Cheadle, Moses left her with one more statement:
"Go ahead and negotiate. If we can't come to an agreement, I'll just flip the table."
After dumping all the troublesome matters onto Cheadle, Moses headed straight for Kukuroo Mountain.
If it weren't for the [Isolation], Moses wouldn't be so arrogant as to say something like flipping the table.
This was the source of his confidence.
Or rather-
It was the same kind of confidence that the Gatekeepers, as the 'keepers of human's enclosure', possessed.
