Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 266 Absolute Time

The appearance of such a building is entirely thanks to the three-dimensional cube we just saw, a rather special creation of the character "神" (god).

It is also a product with a price tag of up to several billion jin. If it is a building with all kinds of facilities, then the price will be as high as tens of billions.

This type of architecture is actually a concrete representation of the architecture in Greed Island.

As long as you master enough characters related to the character "神" (shen), it is not difficult to replicate them.

It is even possible to create a divine character without relying on a physical entity, simply by using mental energy to construct it. The difference is that the latter does not have a physical entity and will consume much more mental energy.

"Come in."

Led by Lucci, the two entered the building.

Kurapika and Izanabi quickly realized something was wrong.

The interior space of the house is much larger than I imagined, and much larger than the area it occupies from the outside.

Lucci smiled when he saw their expressions.

"Don't be too surprised. The word 'god' naturally includes spatial aspects. Of course, not just anyone can create such an environment; it requires sufficient talent."

This is something even King Freecss couldn't master. The spatial abilities Phoenix brought made Lucci particularly sensitive and skilled in this area.

This creation of the word "god" can be considered the culmination of Lucci's current abilities.

It is no longer just a creation of God; it also contains the knowledge brought by the Holy Grail system.

Even the old hunter Izenabi was stunned. This ability was incredibly powerful; it was astonishing that a creation of the gods could achieve such a feat.

It's just that Izenabi doesn't know Nob, otherwise they would have compared their abilities.

Lucci introduced the building to Kurapika and the others.

There's not much to say about the first floor; besides the living room and kitchen, there's also an additional training area.

The second floor is a rest area, and also houses a library.

The third floor houses storage rooms, laboratories, and gravity training rooms.

This "apartment" of Lucci is comparable to Nob's four-dimensional apartment, but it is a more complete version.

When traveling, you should definitely do whatever makes you comfortable.

In other words, Lucci's current abilities and strength are not yet sufficient to create his own space.

Sometimes it must be admitted that developing spatial abilities is not so easy.

Of course, Lucci is referring to large spaces here.

The adventurer's "storage space" contains the X-Oath of Restraint and is also tied to the Holy Grail system.

A "home" that can be taken with you at any time is something that countless people who live a nomadic life and adventure would love.

These things reminded Kurapika of some fairy tale books he had read before.

The Nen ability combined with the word "god" is like "magic" in a storybook.

Lucci's first lesson was teaching Kurapika the difference between the suffixes for "god".

Once the character "神" (god) is engraved and forms a physical entity, it will have some effect even without being activated by chanting.

This is like the sword in the hands of the Nothra family captain in the anime.

"The effect of the character '神' is like computer programming; when combined, it creates a more complete set of abilities. Of course, the more complex it is, the less easy it is to achieve a perfect balance."

Kurapika understood immediately after hearing this.

In the days that followed, Kurapika lived a very fulfilling life, training his Nen abilities every day while also learning about the sigils of God.

Lucci also told Kurapika that if the word "god" is incorporated into a Conjuration-type ability, the effect of the ability will be enhanced.

Of course, the divine character that can enhance the effect is something that can only be encountered by chance.

Despite being exhausted, Kurapika was very serious every day because he didn't know how long this teaching would last.

Fortunately, Lucci had other preparations.

To aid Kurapika's learning, he also uses his Nen abilities or medicinal baths to help him recover.

This also made Kurapika increasingly respect Lucci as his mentor.

As for his former master, Izenapi, he would often consult Lucci when teaching Kurapika Nen.

Lucci accepted all comers.

They even allowed the other party to audit the courses on the word "god".

Lucci was very pleased with Kurapika, as he was his apprentice and Kurapika learned very quickly.

They naturally possess this talent.

For Kurapika, learning the Divine Word is like learning another language.

Of course, Kurapika's understanding is still superficial. He has a long way to go before he can truly apply his knowledge in actual combat and create divine artifacts.

Besides learning the word "God," Kurapika also asks Lucci questions about Nen abilities.

Actually, Lucci was quite curious about Kurapika's abilities, though not about their effects.

Instead, I'm curious about how this life-draining ability is calculated.

Is it calculating "lifespan" or some other calculation method?

Through further research, Lucci discovered the hidden effects of "absolute time".

At the same time, I also understood the ultimate source of this ability.

Not all Scarlet Eyes possess this ability.

The abilities of Nen users are generally closely related to the user, as is the case with Hisoka's and Killua's abilities.

The same applies to Kurapika, before he had officially developed the five-fingered chain ability.

It is the first of the Scarlet Eyes trait abilities to appear. When in the Scarlet Eyes state, it is "absolute time".

It was his obsession with the Phantom Troupe, his obsession with the eyes of his people, that made Kurapika willing to pay the price of his life to gain immense power.

The ability granted by spending money is absolute time.

The subsequent middle finger chain is based on the X-oath imposed on the heart by the little finger chain of judgment.

They belong to two completely different systems.

Kurapika's "Life-Burning" ability, which burns his lifespan, is somewhat similar to Gon's "Forced Growth".

One proceeded slowly, with the option to switch on and off at any time, while the other came with the determination to die.

It's said to be a life-or-death struggle, but it's really about personal growth.

This also explains why Kurapika, who has only been training in Nen for a short time, had the opportunity to fight someone like Uvogin, who has been practicing Nen for many years, even with "absolute time".

Otherwise, at a normal level, it would definitely be like Gon and Killua.

In addition to the overall improvement brought by spending money, there is also the increase in Nen energy brought by "growth".

It was only after Lucci's explanation that Kurapika and Izanabi fully understood Kurapika's ability.

"No wonder I feel like I've made so much progress, is that why?" Kurapika is also making rapid progress in his Nen training.

Izenabi is already breathtaking.

I get it now.

Knowing this reason, Kurapika himself has also conducted tests on "absolute time" and doesn't mind spending his life to grow stronger.
