Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of gazes cast their way.....
The heavy breathing sounds came and went like a bellows being pumped, "Hoo~ Haa~" aloud....
Deep within Kukuroo Mountain, Netero and Silva both paused their actions. Beside them, Zeno's white hair swayed as he squinted his eyes and burst forth with a divine light, stepping onto the Great Success Dark Step, merging into the shadows of the trees in one step, and swiftly moved towards the ancient castle....
Inside the dim yellow room, the group of souls led by Betty Zoldyck, Brook Sell, and Severus watched excitedly and trembled... someone suddenly wailed: "Little John, my dear grandson, you saw it... you can live... you can live....."
Immediately, like a meteor falling from the sky, dragging a turbulent tail flame, it hit the heart of the lake, and in an instant, it stirred up monstrous waves, erupting with thrilling roars....
Some howled to the sky, some knelt and cried loudly, some embraced each other and sobbed, some were jubilant, dancing with joy....
A chaotic flow of intense and heightened emotions rose rampantly, shaking the Nen of Maha, rising along with it... visible to the naked eye, the old man's emotions fluctuated not as calm as before, and the Nen naturally emitted from his head faintly showed a hint of an excited flush!
"Good child, you really... did it....." Betty Zoldyck firmly grasped Roy's hand, her arms rotating, directly pulling Roy into her embrace... "step... step...." footsteps accompanied by silhouettes surrounded them...
Brushing past Maha's shoulder, they walked towards Roy, encircling him in layers....
When Zeno arrived later, only Maha was left beside the empty rocking chair, hands behind his back, watching silently and contentedly, occasionally a gleam flashed in his old eyes, soon hidden well again.
"Grandfather, these people are welcoming their new king....." Zeno approached Maha with hands behind his back, tilted his head and glanced at him: "You shouldn't be jealous."
"If you can't talk, just shut up." you untimely fellow!
Maha glared: "Aren't they all my grandchildren?"
Zeno's mouth slightly twitched, all grandchildren, yet in some people's hearts, the treatment is completely different...
He doesn't remember hearing such words from the old man for himself, Silva, or the smaller ones like Illumi, Milluki, and Killua, ultimately——
"It's still Roy, this child is capable..."
Saying [Revived] is [Revived], this time not only Netero, but even he wanted to glimpse into the boy's dreams, guiding him to develop various methods, constantly enriching his Nenryoku, wondering what those "teachers" who did this are like people!
Thinking about it, they might not be worse than these stubbornly famous or infamous old folks!
"Buzz....." As time passed minute by minute, the atmosphere in the small room showed no sign of subsiding.....
Under such clear gaze, Maha lightly coughed and walked towards Roy with hands behind his back... The souls, whether excited or cheerful, all stopped their cries and actions simultaneously, voluntarily quieted down, moved their feet, automatically making way for Maha's path....
A few meters passed in an instant....
Roy was held by Betty with her arm, smiling at him....
The old man, dry body shorter than Roy's, yet the Nen swirling around him and the implicit dominance in his stride, commanded complete attention, making others unable to look away, appearing... taller and more majestic than Roy!
Roy was fully aware that this was the enhancement brought by power, also a result naturally formed by all beings elevating him.
"Dang...." At that moment, five o'clock in the morning, accompanied by the wooden clock's chime of the hour, in summer, a glow shot out from the horizon, in the blink of an eye piercing a hole in the night covering the entire continent....
The hidden red sun subtly leaped,
Maha timely arrived before Roy, stopped his steps, looked up at him, saying: "This isn't [Revival], right?"
True revival doesn't need any containers or mediums... "Where did that [autumn cicada] go just now?"
After Maha finished speaking, including Brook Sell, Severus, all the souls fell silent......
Anyone with discernment could see, Roy's rebirth was undoubtedly accompanied by the death of the autumn cicada, resulting in his [Revival].
"Heh heh....."
That is to say,
"In the world, there is no true revival, it merely comes at a cost of some people's sacrifices, replacing death with rebirth....."
Deep within Kukuroo Mountain, beside the clear pond where Roy once fought Silva, Netero twirled his white beard, spoke solemnly, directly revealing the essence of [Impure World Reincarnation]!
Yet as he and Maha said,
Roy just extended one finger, pointing lightly to the ground: "Where there is life, there will naturally be death, this is the price."
It's also... [The Law of Equivalent Exchange in the world of Telekinesis]!
Just like in the original work, Netero's old-time intimate friend Jade, paid with the lives of his followers, using his own resentment as the medium, returning from hell... there wouldn't be free lunch or heavenly rewards without cost!
"You know that's not what I'm asking," Maha surveyed the surrounding citizens and compatriots who accompanied him to hardships, deeply said: "If killing one person could bring one of my compatriots back, I would do it, if killing a hundred could bring back a hundred, I would do it, as for killing a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred million... as long as the old man is still alive by then, I wouldn't blink an eye, but,"
Maha fixed his deep gaze firmly on Roy, saying: "What about you?"
