Chapter 519 ( Discovery - IV )

Cloud gave him a silent look before he began to relate everything he had seen during his stay in this place.

Netero's expression was getting darker and darker with each passing minute, until he let out a sigh at the end of the blond's tale.

"I see" - Netero muttered as he tugged his beard, then looked at the blond - "The report you sent, it arrived in a lousy state, that's why I want you to give me your honest opinion about all of this."

"It's simple, those things are Chimera Ants, and very big ones" - Cloud answered as he took out a book from among all the ones in the place.

Netero took it and opened it to the marked page, only to see how these sheets had many words marked on them.

He then took the sheet with the information Cloud had gathered, before nodding carefully.

"This information is more than enough for us to get moving" - Netero said as he thought for a few seconds - "But before that, I would like you to answer me a little question that has been hanging around my mind during the whole trip to this place."

"Speak" - Cloud answered as he looked at the older man.

"Do you know about the reason why our decisions have been affected?" - Netero asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" - Cloud asked with a frown as he didn't understand the older man's words.

"It's simple, we're not acting as we normally do in situations like this" - answered Netero as he walked to the window of the small room and looked outside - "It's c.

"As if something, or someone, is trying to order us not to do certain things, in this case, to send a specialized team to eliminate this possible threat."

Cloud was silent for a few seconds before opening his eyes in surprise because it was obvious that this was all the fault of the dimension's will.

"From your expression, I can see that you know something" - Netero said before closing his eyes - "Is it possible for you to tell me the reason for this?"

Cloud was silent for a few seconds before glancing at the notifications he had out of the corner of his eye, only to notice how they hadn't changed at all.

He thought for a few seconds before nodding because with this, one, he could get an ally powerful enough to make sure everything was okay, and two, he could send a message to the dimension's fucking will.

Netero tugged at his beard before waiting for the blond to open his mouth.

"Have you ever thought about the possibility of the world having a consciousness?" - Cloud asked as he noticed Netero's eyes widen in surprise for a few seconds before he carefully set his mind to thinking - "I suppose so."

"Let's just say that my training, has made me someone with an open mind, and those words could be said to fit with some of my beliefs" - Netero replied as he was silent for a few seconds - "I want to assume that you are saying this because it is this "consciousness", that is causing us to ignore this danger."

"Exactly" - Cloud replied as he walked towards the door and turned his back to the old hunter - "I'm sure you understand what I'm about to tell you, so I'm not going to beat around the bush."

"?" - Netero cocked his head in confusion as he waited for him to continue.

"The world has certain people that it gives its love to, you could consider them the protagonists of a story, and they are people I'm sure you know very well" - Cloud said calmly as he gave a look to Netero, who was nodding - "Those people are not only extremely lucky to be able to get out of trouble one way or another, but they also have the ability and potential to become strong quickly. Their efforts are rewarded 10, or even 20 times more than normal people."

Netero again nodded as the image of a certain group of young people, flashed through his mind for a few seconds before disappearing.

"In order for these "protagonists" to become stronger, the world creates tests, if they pass it, they not only become much stronger physically, but also mentally" - Cloud said calmly - "This happens to everyone equally, but the people the world loves, it happens to them much more often, this is the reason for their rapid growth."

Netero frowned because he understood this very well, after all, his strength grew rapidly after leaving the [Dark Continent] alive.

"I think I understand what's going on" - Netero said while giving a serious look to the blond - "This is one more test of the world for this group of "protagonists", isn't it?"

"Exactly, that's why when I tried to intervene the world did everything it could to stop me" - said Cloud as he frowned remembering what had happened - "I didn't write this in the report, nor do I gain anything by hiding it, but while I was fighting and preparing myself to be able to capture those things, the world stopped me, and let that group escape after I killed two of their commanders."

"Interference, that would explain not only how we acted, but also why your report came in such a bad state" - Netero said while his expression was getting worse and worse because he didn't like the idea that something was dictating his destiny, when he always thought he was living his life to the fullest.

Having this information, made him feel helpless, although at the same time he now understood that there was a way to take his destiny in his own hands.

"Good thing you didn't say anything about this because everyone would have considered you a lunatic" - Netero said with a small smile on his old face - "I would think so too if none of this had happened".

"Good thing that's so" - replied Cloud with sarcasm - "Now I want you to tell me what you're going to do."

"Honestly, I don't know" - replied Netero with a frown - "As I said, this is more than enough for us to mobilize the specialists, but well, I don't need to explain to you why we can't do anything"

"That they are not against me, is more than enough" - Cloud replied while frowning - "Or that's what I would like to say, but I think the members of the [Zodiac] are right, it's better if that one doesn't get into this"

"What do you mean?" - Netero asked as he raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"That if they stay out of it, those things won't have prey to keep growing in power" - said Cloud seriously - "That's more than enough currently because if those things eat hunters, then the next ants that are born, won't be as dangerous, though I'm not sure if this will be a solution"

"You mean the hunters that disappeared?" - Netero asked with a frown - "Is there any way for them to understand what the Nen is and how to apply it?"

"I have no idea, but if I'm honest, it's quite possible that they now know how to use the Nen" - Cloud replied as he started to think - "I noticed how they used Nen instinctively, but now that they have hunters who know how to use this energy."

"You don't need to say more, I understand what you mean" - Netero said with a frown while - "If I'm honest, I'm struggling with the idea of going back to force us to start a complete eradication against those things, but I know that if I do, my mind is going to start to be partially controlled by the will of the world."

Cloud didn't say anything else, he just shrugged because there was nothing he could do about it.

"I'm a little confused" - Menchi said while frowning - "Why would the supposed will of the world, want to kill humans?"

"Because it's unbiased most of the time, all creatures have the same benefits of existence, but as I said before, there are some who have better privileges" - Cloud answered calmly.

"You mean Gon's group?" - Menchi asked as she understood something after hearing the blond's explanation.

"That's one way of looking at it, and yes, they are a group loved by the world" - Cloud answered while closing his eyes - "They have been blessed with adventures and accelerated growth, in exchange for dangers that a normal person wouldn't expect."

"Slightly equivalent exchange, because being loved by the world, the probability of risk is less than a normal person going through the same situation" - Kyōka added while closing her eyes because she was one of the girls loved by the world, this she understood after reading her fate, a similar situation that the other girls had gone through.

Kyoko for her part, just remained silent because her life was the opposite, she was what people knew a hated by the world, not only her life was bad, but it was full of misfortunes, ending in her death at the hands of one of the colleague she was dating at the time.
