A person's conscious mind occupies only a small portion of the entire consciousness, while the remaining, larger part is the subconscious.
Nen Abilities, and even Nen Beasts, are products of both the conscious and subconscious minds.
Setting aside Nen Abilities for now, let's just talk about Nen Beasts.
Mostly, Nen Beasts are born from a Nen User's subconscious… their deep consciousness.
The appearance, size, type… of a Nen Beast all originate from the Nen User's deep consciousness.
Utilizing the Seed Urn Ceremony passed down within the Kakin's royal lineage, Nasubi turned this Succession War into a bloody, Gu-raising battle.
The fourteen princes were the fourteen Gu Insects.
Whether eliminated and killed earlier, or victorious only to die later… all of them beca the nourishnt Nasubi required.
Moreover, Nasubi believed this nourishnt was the indispensable cornerstone for Kakin's path towards world unification.
Then, Nasubi, whose progress had stagnated years ago and whose ti was running short, and his Nen Beast underwent a thorough tamorphosis.
Nasubi's tamorphosis resulted in a surging, imnse Aura. Spider Mother's tamorphosis made its essence much stronger, along with changes in appearance.
First, the spider-like jointed legs transford into human arms. The over twenty pairs of breasts representing female features turned into tumor-like lumps of flesh.
Second, a pair of white feathered wings sprouted from its swollen back, shimring with a holy light.
At this mont, the successfully transford Spider Mother, rely standing there quietly, could make people's hearts turn cold.
How strong was it? The Aura that seeped through the floors, detected by many Nen Users, could give so indication.
Spider Mother's uniquely structured mouth opened, emitting a low, hissing sound, as if responding to Nasubi's words.
So-called Guardian Spirit Beasts do not communicate with their hosts, nor do they follow their hosts' commands.
However, the current Nasubi and Spider Mother seed to have broken free from this restriction.
"It's fine, let them make their noise."
Nasubi seed to understand Spider Mother's words. And he simply didn't care about the little mice causing a ruckus below.
The little mice he referred to were the perpetrators from the Heil-Ly Family.
"Even if they turn the ship upside down, in the end, they are rely sacrifices for Kakin's prosperity."
Nasubi walked towards the room's door.
The succession war had officially concluded. Next was the landing ceremony upon reaching the imagined continent.
As for the inferior Gu Insects currently rampaging through the ship's cabins, he had no intention of stopping them, nor did he care at all about the possible chain reactions that might ensue.
…
Calling the perpetrators inferior Gu Insects wasn't wrong.
In a sense, becoming stronger through killing is a weaker version of raising Gu.
It's just that this kind of strengthening is similar to the 'transmission of power' in wuxia films… transferring only Nen power, not skill or experience.
That's why Machi's group and Ging felt the perpetrators' abilities were weak.
On one hand, the perpetrators' Nen Ability fundantals were practically zero. On the other, their levels hadn't been raised too high.
Though they were inferior Gu Insects, this ability possessed the potential to destroy the world.
In a certain room, blood soaked the floor.
The nurous corpses lying in the pool of blood resembled bodies floating on a river of blood.
A long-haired woman in a black, off-the-shoulder dress stood amidst the blood and corpses, holding a blood-stained short knife in her right hand.
She wore a wreath of thorny vines on her head. Her pretty face bore two distinct knife scars, slanting down from her forehead, passing through her left eye, reaching the bottom of her cheek.
"Destroy… everything."
The woman casually threw away the short knife, raised her sowhat bloodied right hand, and lightly traced one of the scars on her cheek, leaving a fresh red mark.
This woman was Morena, the Nen user of [Etude of Love]. She was also Nasubi's illegitimate daughter. And Nasubi's illegitimate children were not limited to just Morena.
As an illegitimate daughter, Morena's identity was not recognized by the royal family. She was called a [Second-Liner].
So-called Second-Liners referred to those with royal bloodline but could not rightfully be called successors… the king's offspring.
The mont a Second-Liner was born, two blades would slice their face. Accepting the condition of a life forever hidden in darkness, never to be seen by others, was the price for being allowed to live.
Morena gently touched the scars left by the two blades with her right hand, then walked towards the room's door.
Her bare feet walked through the pool of blood, creating eye-catching ripples.
"Having without permission… suspicion, jealousy, harm, forgiveness… how laughable!"
"But… I love these scars. If not for these scars, I would be closer to death."
"Thanks to these scars, I have survived until now."
"So that I can… destroy this world full of garbage."
Morena reached the room's door, looked back at the corpse-filled room, lowered her eyelids, hiding the profound darkness within her eyes.
"Just a little more ti… hold on just a bit longer…"
'As long as the sources of infection multiply and continue spreading…'
'The seed nad [Destroy the World] will bloom across the world.'
'It can be done. It's possible. It absolutely can be done!'
Lv50.
This was Morena's level.
Her thod of leveling up was relatively steady. Her chosen hunting ground was the 5th Floor.
This floor had the highest number of passengers and was the hardest area for soldiers to manage. And she targeted ordinary people.
Although she needed to reach level one hundred as quickly as possible, then protect and support her subordinates so they could safely reach level one hundred and beco new sources of infection…
She still chose the steady, slow thod to level up.
It must be foolproof. That was her thought.
Many perpetrators who chose the steady leveling path were like her, distributed across various areas of the 5th Floor, massively hunting ordinary people to slowly raise their levels.
On the 3rd and 4th Floors, after dealing with perpetrators who ca looking for trouble, Machi's group and Ging chose silence, not interfering with this turmoil. Only the Nen Exorcist, Elaine, joined the perpetrators' ranks with a cheerful deanor.
Unrestrained hunting!
"Such a nostalgic feeling."
Elaine walked down a corridor, leaving a trail of bloody footprints behind her.
She ca before a room's door, pressed her slender, long-fingered hand against it, and gently pushed.
Creak.
The originally locked door opened easily, as if by magic.
"Sob, sob."
Sounds of fearful whimpering ca from the unlit room.
Elaine's gaze pierced straight into the dark corner of the room, as if looking at a dozen lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"Actually, I have no interest in you all… but… I have my needs."
…
On the sea surface, the B·W slowly approached the coastline.
