At sub-sonic speeds Zeno traveled, staring at his grandson with an unreadable expression. Arriving at the zoyldck manor Zeno ignores Silva and quickly brings Karma to the head butler known for her medical prowess.
Shaking her head she spoke" There is nothing that can be done it's a miracle he's even alive other than a Nen-based healing ability. I don't see-"Before she could finish Zeno was gone and so was Karma
"Silva, leave illumi; it's not the time. We have a change of plans. We're bringing Karma with us to the Kurta. If we repel the beast, we can request anything from them." Zeno quickly spoke to Silva before holding his heart.
"First Kikyo, now this. Maybe Grandfather was right; no one leaves the dark continent unharmed. A misfortune has landed on our family." Silva spoke seriously as he ran with Zeno to the clearing.
"I need time to recover my Aura take out the airship" Zeno spoke with Karma still in his arms.
"What of the embassorders of the Kalyin empire and the hunter ascosiasion" Silva spoke as they prepared to leave.
"They can wait"
08:00 before mission start

Third person POV
Landing in the Lukso province near the Kurta who were hailed for their understanding of divine language. The zoyldcks quickly ran to the rendezvous point where a quick conversation brought Karma into the front lines
Symbols riddled the ground, all the Kurta asked was for the beast to be repelled from the mountain behind the front lines was the village of the Kurta strangely no non-combatants could be seen even seemingly weak old men were radiating powerful Nen.
The beast remained a magical beast it is said it was first born 5 years ago and in this time has reached this level of power and destruction with blue flames that make one mad.
Bringing the boy to the medical bay where other warriors appeared many in a lot more pain than their injuries would suggest.
"I'm glad you're here, this beast didn't die it resisted an instant kill hatsu and it's not alone you see those bat-like magical beasts they attacked before the creature came."
"It walked off decapitation" a younger clan member spoke
"We had no issue dealing with them until he came he can speak human tongue but don't be deceived his flames are enough to make even someone like you lose focus" the older Kurta man spoke to Zeno.
There were 6 hunters there listening with Zeno and Silva. A girl with a book in her left arm looked no older than 15, a burly man an enhancer no doubt, a man with a sword laid on his hip, and finally another support type Nen user seemingly cooperating with the man with a sword.
Quietly observing their prey the zoyldcks join a few senior hunters and wait. According to the current information the beasts were stronger at night so letting the others stall the beasts as the attack squad rested was the plan.
The beast had no skin, no fur a thick white ectoskeloten encased it. Its four eyes wandered it had a tail with no stinger constantly surrounded with blue flame.
Finally staring at the hunters pushing back the bat-like creatures it finally spoke.
"You're running out of strong fighters already? Boring it was fun watching you struggle" the beast spoke in an even tone, it was growing disappointed at the quality of fighters he was receiving
"Guess I'll spice things up" Laughing hysterically the beast jumped suspended in the air by the flames as they grew in size.
"Careful he's using his ranged arrow attack" The hunters fearful seemed to know the move well and seemed prepared unfortunately the beast wasn't playing with them.
The creature through the Phoenix flames towards the highest aura he could sense, Silva zoyldck in his wish to meet his son doomed the warriors recovering. The large flame rushed to the medical bay
Quickly a young Kurta man through a mirror in the air and after a chant, the flame was directly halved in size then the rest of the flame was directly dealt with by Zeno's dragon.
The embers that fell after were quickly dodged. An ember hit a man in the sick bey causing his body to tremble in chap before puking blood everywhere before finally dying.
His body couldn't handle the pain.
Another ember landed on the body of a boy no older than 5 his aura spiked irregularly yet his body showed no sign of further decay.
"Aww, what's this does the little old man have someone he needs to protect how heroic" the beast mocked as it began to scale the mountain.
"Forget the plan kill it now" A pro-hunter roared seeing his disciple dead puking blood.
Zeno known for his composure agreed he and Silva took a long-range approach and began to attack. The creature dodged it was unnaturally strong and fast too.
"Interesting" After seeing Zeno mold his aura again and again the beast molded its flame in the same manner and sent a dragon of flame after Zeno.
"Shing " a blade-wielding hunter after waiting for his opportunity slashed off the beast's head.
Without celebrating he bombarded the beast with slashes. The beast missing limbs and a head continued to attack. Before he retreated he released a strange slash that seemed to create pus where it landed
The sword wielder quickly retreated when he saw blue flames emit from the creature's body all the discarded limbs and pieces were reduced to a blue flame and returned to the beast's body
"Aghhhh" yelling in a mix of pain and pleasure the reformed beast sends the large blue flame toward the man who vanishes in a field of strange symbols.
Silva rips out every organ of the beast's body and destroys them with an aura after running through the beast's flame. Afterwards, his face grimaced before giving Zeno a signal
As the beast began to reform, a dragon with the majority of Zeno's aura rang out. The beast was pushed outside of the mountain towards the prepared explosives and every bit of it was destroyed.
Zeno entered a state of zetsu to hide his weakness and Silva quickly ignores his fatigue and retreats to the village.
"Well deals a deal, since you've sent the beast of the mountain we will grant any request for you" the Kurta member spoke in a good mode happy not to sacrifice more of his people
"What sort of bull shit if it wasn't for us your whole village would be ripped to shreds." The pro hunter who lost his disciple roared at the Kurta member in furry
"for your contribution just pick from the list. The dead can't be brought back" the Kurta member spoke expressionlessly at this time the Kurta was a formidable force, when it came to the raw amount of Nen users very few could match them.
A terrifying Nen erupted from the bottom of the mountain the beast… reformed from just its flames a thick post mortum Nen was felt from the bottom of the mountain.
"I am immortal I've lived thousands of years and you think I'd die to explosives? DON'T BE RIDICULOUS" The beast was angry furious at what transpired yet when it attempted to climb the mountain it was pushed back.
Every time it attempted to run up the mountain strange symbols appeared and pushed him out.
"What a strange use of Nen, who even used it?" The man from earlier spoke with a lost look in his eyes
"Are you just asking. Or are you using your contribution to ask". The Kurta member spoke impassive
"Using my contribution" After a pause he spoke.
Silva closed his eyes in fatigue. And Zeno was recovering his aura it was then they felt something wrong. As assassins by trade they were sensitive to killing intent so when the Kurta member spoke Silva began to move
"In that case Me" the Kurta member spoke somewhat proudly. His ability area denial despite the strict constraints was known for being able to deny even the strongest from entering once deployed.
Silvas's hand pierced through the hunter's head, Zeno's emission reaching a second after Unfortunately, it was too late the hunter already punched a hole through the Kurta clan member's heart.
An intense heat attacked Zeno and Silvas's senses quickly they ran. Silva ran to Karma Zeno ran deeper into the village under Zetsu he slipped through the village's defenses
The beast no longer restricted by area denial quickly ran on all fours towards where it last sensed the old man who sent it to its death. Moving swiftly it found itself face to face with an emergency release squad of 30 Kurta warriors.
They were incapacitated in a mere 5 minutes his flames after his rebirth no longer needed to connect to cause tremendous pain just being near them gave the illusion of being burned alive. Let alone his raw physicality being many times more than before.
If the beast moved at its fastest it would be faster than sound. But it didn't he always did have the habit of torturing the weak. In the beast's reformed state he looked almost human if not for the four eyes and a tail.
Moving first to the medical camp Silvas's eyes widened in terror was today the day he died? Face to face with the demon he truly felt death approaching as the flames flew toward him and the patients quickly Silva tried to shield Karma.
The boy's eyes suddenly opened his hatsu roaring into full effect in response to the tremendous danger responded. Its first action in keeping his body alive was to block the flames.
Silva tensed ready for the pain that never came the boy moved already in front of him.
Perfected automation wasn't doing anything particularly hard all Nen users can train their hatsu application.
If you were for example to turn pain into rage and rage into raw aura output like an enchancer this is basic enchantment hatsu. Or after severe training give your aura a sticky property when climbing its transmutation hatsu.
Yet no memory capacity is needed to "create" the hatsu it's a basic aura application any Nen user could do with enough training yet why was it that enchanters weren't the strongest? Shouldn't you theoretically be able to increase your aura indefinitely?
But for a normal person that limiter is their will power you can't be infinitely angry you can't always grow in fury. That limit didn't apply to Karma zoyldck.
The creature stopped in surprise as the boy looked at him with an Aura equal to a veteran Nen user. The boy then quickly moved behind his father and attempted to encase him with Shu
"What are you doing?!" despite the shock at the situation Silva quickly stopped Karma. Before focusing back on the beast.
Perfected automation abandoned its action before speaking to the beast "Weak" the boy spoke in a hoarse voice body still heavily injured his Nen moved him like a puppet. His minor injuries began to close
"don't break too soon my toy" The creature seemed to gain an interest in the child before striking Silva in the chest with his fist encased in flame Silva released two aura balls into the beast's head removing it from existence.
The flames just regrew the head and the beast smiled at the twitching Silva gathering aura he released a blue flame dragon at Silva.
Quickly moving at peak speed the boy blocked the flames for his father's expressionless. His body twitched but not in pain it was his heightened Aura healing him at an irregular speed.
Perfected automation concluded that this aura battery was key to him staying alive as it was commanded to do. The boy grabbing Silva by his shirt threw him away from the battlefield.
"Are you saying you don't need help? Ahahahah perfect perfect yes let's fig-" the creature was interrupted as the boy grabbed at his mouth and launched him towards the bottom of the mountain.
Karma zoyldcks raw aura temporarily reached a level higher than that of Silvas as they continued to trade blows. Finally, Karma began to punch the beast of flame into the floor creating a crater.
Finally, the beast stopped using Pheonix flames offensively. " Agh Damm it stop"
The beast was begging to be let free of the pain it was being subject to… was refreshing
Finally neither spoke and after every reformation, the beast would trade blows with the boy yet as time passed the boy's aura only grew his wounds healing faster and faster until finally.
"I AM IMMORTAL I REFUSE TO DIE TO THE LIKES OF YOU" The raw willpower of the immortal Jin exploded it refused to die not after all it's been through. After all, it's many lives to die too a child? Its eyes focused and the battle of attrition went on soon the sun rose.
00:00
Would you like to enter the mission
Y/N
The immortal quickly pressed N, Karma pressed Y, and afterward…. The fight continued with no difference if anything "karma" was attacking the beast with more lethality every fist broke sound his eyes were consumed with a terrifying inhuman hate.
Finally perfected automation's aura reserves began to plateau there just wasn't enough pain to give but as the battle continued perfected automation would learn how to better use this transfer from pain to rage and rage to aura.
Perfected automation recovered karmas body to peak health… but his body kept changing
In real-time "Karma's," hair would grow until his body began to age? As he grew he could slowly release more and more aura before he was 5 he was now without a doubt 8.
3 minutes is how much time passed in the real world from the beginning of the mission to now suddenly "Karma" stopped he turned to an army surrounding his crater after being shot at Karma stood and began to fly??!
His aura reserves were so high he could directly push it off the ground achieving flight. Moving with the beast in his arms Karma began to fly to a crowded city. He moved at Mach 3 speeds. Then he released his Nen Cursed lady after summoning her. He placed her next to the beast's ears.
"What that your sex doll hahaha I will kill you bastard" Immortal Jin grew in arrogance he was confident in his ability of attrition, and he was close to understanding it the next level
A thick layer of nen condensed around Karma's ear preventing sound from entering.
Quickly traveling around the army each and every one who heard the "sonic boom" began to petrify. The boy then flew towards Meteor City everywhere he traveled for the next 30 seconds experiencing cases of petrifaction by the time the cursed lady was unsummoned.
An unnamed farmer, a war hero lived his life well and long with an arm gone and hearing leaving him after the war he enjoyed a picnic with his family smiling and happy finally life was good the war was over.
As if all was a lie his dog began to become stone then his daughter and finally his wife he experienced a great shock and the war hero didn't die by gunfire or old age he suffered from a heart attack.
Unfortunately, there would be no one to save him this time.
Perfected automation killed at minimum 1.2 million men women and children.
Perfected automation refused to give control back to karma until the beast turned completely to stone and was no longer a threat
After all, it was just doing what was best for Karma. Not confined by meaningless morality
At the biological age of 10 Karma descended back towards Luksa province and after one more unnerving en and finding Zeno perfected automation threw the beast the Kurta quickly caught it and looked at the boy with an extreme level of caution.
Before Zeno could speak an unwise clan member attacked Perfected automation 100s of clones appeared the man before help could come every Kurta member who displayed a hint of killing intent was massacred.
Finally, Karma regained authority over his body.
————————————
Karma POV
It was like abruptly gaining awareness I was aware of my actions but completely in the back seat finally regaining control. My brain felt rattled and I didn't want to confront the reality of what I just did. But that Damm voice wouldn't let me forget
Ruthlessly kill a million souls for selfish reasons.
Reward: None
I felt like an over-filled bucket and without hesitation pointed at a mountain in view and released a concentrated beam of pure nen the size of a coin it quickly pierced through the mountain before my aura eventually stabilized.
Honestly, physically I felt better than ever I'd be surprised if bullets could even pierce my muscles anymore. My body felt extremely powerful but the eyes that looked at me with fear and caution brought me to reality.
"Well, I dealt with the threat for you what can you give me… any cursed artifacts or rare materials?" Realizing that everyone was waiting for me to speak I quickly asked.
This seemingly harmless question put a good bit of fear in the clan's man 'Does he want our eyes? I mean who could even stop him.' The Elder of the Kurta quickly deciding he was being threatened invited Karma to choose whatever he would like.
Those remaining decided to simply comply and go back into hiding.
"Anything from the treasury, and as a token of our Goodwill you can take 1 book from our library" the Elder spoke in an attempt at being casual
"More, minimum 1,000,000 Zeni " Zeno spoke. Zeno's experience finally kicked in
"Make it two books" Silva countered
"I don't want money or anything else Give me your most valuable artifact" Karma seemed annoyed
Quickly despite knowing he was being taken advantage of the Kurta Elder held no reluctance in sending his clan members to retrieve the "cursed coffin". Despite frowning Zeno said nothing.
A young Ging stared at the boy, he was only 12 and had just gotten his hunter's license yet after today, he would revere the zoyldcks for their raw power.
And a girl watched as he left with a chaotic expression.
——————————————————-
7 days later.
Many things happened as a fallback of what I did under Perfected automation firstly I was considered a sort of calamity and the V5 did everything in its power to censor the incident even so those in the know, reevaluated the danger of the zoyldcks.
Apparently, when you just go half hazardily and kill a million people you make some enemies, so now I have to be more cautious.
Also perfected automation was completely unlocked and wasn't causing any trouble. I just have to be careful in giving it full control over my body.
There was even a group that worshiped me. The real issue was a portion of the group's disgust at my actions. Why do they feel a moral high ground I'm especially disappointed since immortal Jin still lives just trapped in his stone prison. And he has no problem airing out all my powers.
Maybe that's a better fate for scum like him.
—————————————-
Free info lol
————————————-
Talking with illumi after was sad his self-restrictions saddened me and were the last straw for me. I would never give Perfected automation full control ever again it's just not worth it.
I am pretty strong now, I pushed open the entire gate.
Who cares about karma I want to enjoy life 'I feel so gross because of me millions have lost their life' Karma never had many opinions for human life but after the incident, he just didn't want to kill for no reason anymore.
Well no escaping the inevitable I guess time to meet the guests Grandpa has over.
"Hello Netero"
