The rainbow light of teleportation descended from the sky, revealing Oboro's figure.
In his hands were the diary and cigarettes given to him by Gebuwich.
The diary was for recalling past happy memories when Oboro felt lonely.
The cigarettes were for relieving fatigue.
Oboro teleported to a swamp in the oasis. As soon as he appeared, large bubbles rose from the muddy ground of the swamp and floated into the air.
Then, the bubbles gathered, forming seemingly ethereal light bodies that approached him.
Oboro's expression remained unchanged, and he waved his hand.
The space in front of him exploded, creating a vacuum in the entire area.
All life forms in the swamp, along with the mud and water, were instantly blown into the sky and splashed far away.
In a sense, Menchi and the other two's departure had completely liberated Oboro's 'strength.'
He no longer had any reservations... and no longer needed to constantly divide his attention among his teammates.
Subsequently, souls floated towards him and merged into his body.
Oboro walked forward alone.
After walking for a while, he entered a dense forest.
Without warning, a series of sharp, piercing sounds echoed from the sky.
These were objects moving at speeds invisible to the naked eye, actually microscopic organisms like fleas moving within space. Their speed and power were tens of thousands of times that of ordinary bullets. They were also parasitic; once injected into a living organism, they would lay eggs in its flesh and blood, making them a dominant species in the oasis.
Oboro walked as if strolling through a garden, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings.
He was deep in thought.
Suddenly, the piercing sounds attacked him.
Oboro raised his finger, his arm moving rapidly. His movements were as fast as a flea's, almost invisible... But with each tap of his finger, the space in that direction exploded, and the ruptured airwaves rushed for a thousand meters, not only annihilating all the microorganisms.
It also caused all the immensely large trees to instantly crack and collapse.
The scene was utterly terrifying.
A quarter of an hour later, as he emerged from this sea of trees, the dense forest behind him had been leveled.
Oboro walked with his hands in his pockets, looking straight ahead.
It seemed as if he had only now refocused his attention on reality.
"Alternate dimension." Oboro muttered to himself.
The Dark Continent possessed the power to break through dimensions!
The Demon King knew he was a transmigrator with just a glance, because his soul contained memories from his past life, which the Demon King could easily perceive. The reason it wanted to recruit him was because the Demon King wished to travel to Earth and conquer it.
Compared to this world, Earth was like an unpolluted treasure trove, where the Demon King could become the sole 'overlord.'
Like spreading a religion, making all humans submit and believe in him, creating an ideal homeland solely for the 'Demon King.'
Instead of being on the Dark Continent, where, besides the Demon King, there were other high-level transcendent beings.
Oboro was indifferent to the Demon King's intentions; what he cared about was the power to transcend dimensions.
"The Demon King itself does not possess the ability to break through dimensions, but the Dark Continent must have it... for example, Alluka." Oboro thought of something.
Alluka was a rule-based life form. As long as the energy it released was sufficient, nothing was impossible.
If one were to make a wish to travel to other worlds, it might be feasible.
The Dark Continent must have something equivalent to Alluka, but even more powerful.
"I myself transmigrated with my soul, so... the only way to traverse dimensions is through the soul. It's impossible, or rather... difficult, to bring the physical body along." Oboro's eyes showed a glint of interest.
"I guessed correctly..."
Oboro curled his lips.
Back when he first obtained the system, he had noticed a question.
Supreme Will!
Will is related to the soul.
The system's initial abilities were also intelligent calculations and recommendations, based on memories from his past life... it was also related to the soul. The system merged with his soul. Becoming the Supreme Will here, the beginning of his path to growth... might not signify just the world of Hunter x Hunter.
It's important to understand that becoming the Supreme Will, besides highlighting his personal abilities and value, what was the purpose of having supreme personal will or soul?
It shouldn't just be a form of proof.
But rather, it carried a certain purpose...
There were so many hero characters and skills in the game, why did Oboro choose Thresh?
Why was it... the soul.
"Besides conquering this place... I also need to find that power."
Oboro had an idea.
The information inadvertently revealed by the Demon King was crucial.
...
Several months later, Oboro returned to the city within the house.
He had also explored the other thatched huts.
He found nothing. Like the empty city they had visited, the humans had all disappeared.
They had been sacrificed.
Their souls and flesh had become the Demon King's playthings.
For a worthless species, bringing pleasure to a higher life form was already its greatest value.
Oboro then crossed the river and arrived at another area across from the thatched huts.
This area also bordered the desert, but Oboro had not visited it before, as it was too dangerous with Menchi and the other two present.
There were giant green sandworms and a sinkhole inhabited by crab-like creatures with human heads.
He needed to clear the map... Before finding the gate, he needed to absorb as many powerful souls as possible to grow.
Even though he had only glimpsed a trace of the Demon King's power, it had made him realize the vast gap between himself and the latter.
He was still far from it.
"These are those purple-skinned spiky trees..." The next day, Oboro walked under the towering trees, gazing up at the peculiar vegetation. These three trees, according to the map, stood prominently in the sinkhole. But upon seeing them in person, he realized their magnificence. Just by looking up, he couldn't see the canopy anywhere.
They were much taller than the World Tree in human legends, and the largest trees he had ever seen.
Boom!
At this moment, a terrifying suction force erupted from behind.
The surrounding sand, soil, and mud were all lifted into the sky at once, like a torrential flood, sucked into the heavens.
Oboro's legs, like anchor spikes, were deeply embedded in the ground, making him stand firm.
On his journey so far, he had stopped using Zetsu. His aura was fully released, and his life energy output was very conspicuous... Therefore, any creature could sense him.
He was like a beacon in the darkness, extremely ostentatious.
Oboro slowly turned around. Above him in the sky was a giant mouth resembling a black hole. This giant green monster, emerging from underground, stood almost as tall as the spiky trees. Oboro's body was even smaller than a single strand of hair on this sandworm.
The green sandworm simply intended to swallow Oboro whole using this simple, brute-force method.
The sky was chaotic. Oboro gazed at the pitch-black creature's body, excitement and killing intent gleaming in his eyes.
He felt the sandworm's 'challenge.'
"Your... soul is very delicious..."
Oboro smiled, and then soul fire surged around him, transforming into Thresh's appearance.
As the black mist billowed upwards, Thresh's form also grew with the surging Nen.
Although far from the sandworm's size, it was already comparable to the height of some smaller creatures.
"Come on!"
With that, Thresh let out a roar that shook the surroundings.
The chain and giant axe in his hands immediately swung towards the sandworm.
Simultaneously, from the black mist tide, vengeful spirits and several powerful spiritual bodies emerged in succession.
A battle of hierarchy within the food chain began!
However, this battle did not last long, only a few minutes. The sandworm crashed to the ground. Oboro, sitting atop the ghost fog, slowly descended, stepping on the sandworm's corpse, and returned to his original form.
"Not bad."
He smiled with satisfaction.
Stepping on the sandworm's skin, he headed east.
He moved at extreme speed, and after a few days.
In another corner of the sinkhole.
A terrifying creature lay coiled on the ground, deep in slumber.
As a gust of wind kicked up sand, a person walked and stood before the creature.
This monster was the other prominent overlord in the sinkhole: a large life form with a human head and a skull face, a spider-like body, but with a pair of crab claws.
A strange sound came from the skeleton's eye sockets.
Eyes, connected by blood and flesh, seemed to rise from within the skull, appearing in the eye sockets, staring directly at the tiny human standing before it.
It... was awake.
Its massive body began to stand and tremble.
Causing the ground to shake, making the earth tremble for a moment.
"Roar!"
The monster roared at Oboro.
A terrifying sound wave and hurricane rushed towards him.
It sensed the human's provocation.
"Don't be angry... We must see this game through to the end to determine who is at the top of the food chain." Facing the pungent stench and the imposing roar, Oboro moved forward calmly.
After saying this, killing intent, accompanied by his will, shot towards the monster's head like an invisible blade.
This caused the head-crab, which was preparing to attack, to suddenly shrink its pupils and begin to retreat.
Then, it turned and fled.
Oboro vanished from his spot...
The moment the monster retreated, he appeared on its cheek.
Oboro's seemingly tiny foot, imbued with astonishing force, kicked the head-crab's facial bone.
With a bang.
The monster's facial bone at the skull-head area instantly shattered, covered in cracks.
Despite its incredible physique and strength, it was sent tilting to the ground by this single kick.
"Don't waste the genes that allowed you to evolve to this extent..."
Oboro's expression was cold. With that, he surged forward like a rocket.
His fists and feet relentlessly struck the vital points of the large creature's body.
This was a comical and unbelievable scene.
Compared to the head-crab, Oboro's body was as small as a microorganism, but the force he generated with his blows caused the latter to be repeatedly frustrated, injured, its body trembling, and frequently falling.
This time, Oboro took a relatively long time.
Nearly half an hour, because he did not use soul power.
Instead, it was purely physical attacks.
However, the head-crab eventually ended up with a riddled body and lost its life.
The blood flowing from its massive body alone formed a lake-like liquid in the sinkhole.
Oboro sat on the monster's body, reached into its flesh, and tore at it casually. He picked up a piece of meat with his fingertips, put it in his mouth, and chewed.
Striking such a large creature, a dominant species at that, consumed a tremendous amount of strength. He needed to replenish.
"Now this is interesting... It's not exploration, it's conquest."
