Chapter 176 Rational Cunningness

Since entering this Nen Space…

Pariston has never cared about the Eye of Sight hanging over the square, which exuded an astonishing aura.

Nor has he cared about the process and outcome of the confrontation between Netero and the member of Seirin Group, let alone his colleagues from the Zodiacs, who seemed to be in danger.

At first, he didn't see Moses, but he firmly believed that Moses was also present.

Now, when Pariston saw Moses entering the stage, he focused his attention on him.

'Is it his Nen Ability, or is it something special…'

Looking at the situation on Moses's side with interest, Pariston slowly raised his hand and put it on his chin, thinking about the reason why Moses was ignored by the group of clones around him.

It's a pity that there are no other Nen entities in this Nen Space.

They have most likely been kicked out by the unruly army of clones.

Otherwise, he can see if other Nen entities in the Nen Space will also ignore Moses, so as to get more information.

Judging from the current situation, Pariston felt that the possibility of being ignored by the clones because of Nen Ability is very low, or in other words, very unreasonable.

If it is the effect of Nen Ability, then after the reckless attacks, the clones should not continue to ignore Moses's existence.

Just like Pariston himself.

Although he is temporarily protected from the attacks of the surrounding clones by relying on his Nen Ability, his actions are also subject to a lot of limitations.

'Rational Cunningness.'

This is one of Pariston's Nen Abilities.

Based on absolute 'rationality' as the premise, absolute 'non-intervention' as the condition, and absolute 'information gathering' as the process.

In exchange, he obtains the ability effect of absolute 'staying out of trouble' within a reasonable range.

Ultimately, as a bystander, he allows things to develop along the 'plotline' he wants to see, thus effortlessly achieving the absolute 'insignificance' goal.

With the 'staying out of trouble' ability effect obtained by this Nen Ability, Pariston has managed to escape the hostility from the Nen entities of the Nen Space.

However, this ability has a time limit.

How long it can last depend on Pariston's judgment and reasoning about the 'event' itself, that is, the information gathered.

At the same time, Pariston cannot interfere with the actions of the clones around him.

If he violates this rule, his ability effect of 'staying out of trouble' will disappear on the spot.

In other words —

In the state of ability, if Pariston wants to avoid being attacked by clones, he must refrain from attacking the clones.

This is the basic framework of his Nen Ability.

However, the fact that under Pariston's gaze, the clones not only ignore Moses but also allow him to attack them without restraint leads Pariston to believe that this phenomenon is not closely related to Nen Ability.

'Is it something special…'

Pariston stared at Moses's figure.

Despite still smiling, his eyes...

It seems as if he wants to dissect not only Moses's body, but also his mind.

…

Not far away.

In order to help Pyon break free from the encirclement of the clones, Moses tried his best.

He uses various techniques to attack the clones at their vital points, trying to deal with each clone with just one blow, thus significantly increasing his killing efficiency.

However, no matter how fast his kill rate is, there is no sign of a decrease in the number of these shadow clones around him.

Moses, as the owner of the ability, naturally understands what is happening.

This Nen Space elevates the plasticity of the Soul Echo's ability to a level where it can ignore limitations.

Therefore, as long as the copy created by the Nen Space hides well, it can drive an endless stream of shadow clones to attack them.

'Only by solving the 'original' can these 'shadow clones' disappear…'

Moses realized this, but there's nothing he could do about it.

After all, how is it possible to find the target that can use Nen in Zetsu state without the need to observe the on-site battle situation.

This is also the most formidable feature of Soul Echo that Moses initially believed distinguishes it from conventional Nen Clones.

The Nen Space that they are currently in can be said to have fully exploited this feature.

Moses feels that the possibility of finding the clone's original body is close to zero.

'Besides dealing with the original, there is another way.'

As Moses clears away the shadow clones, he looks at the Eye of Sight above the square.

Then, he turned his eyes and looked at Cheadle, who is struggling to cope with the army of shadow clones.

'By removing the source, these clones will naturally disappear.'

'In this situation, I can only hope that Netero will destroy the Eye of Sight.'

'Alternatively, I can use the Nen Exorcism chance I got before.'

"…"

Moses's thoughts were spinning.

He speculated that this Nen Space would most likely not harm them physically, but he did not rule out the possibility of severe mental damage that would affect their body.

This itself is unconfirmed information.

To choose to lie down based on this speculation is somewhat reckless.

'Let's figure out a way to get over there first.'

Moses glanced at the movement in the square, then joins forces with his shadow clones, intending to create an opening in the encirclement surrounding Pyon.

Without needing to be reminded, Pyon knew what to do and gradually moved closer to Moses's position.

After a considerable effort, they finally gather together.

However, as Pyon gets closer to Moses, the attacks launched by the surrounding shadow clones towards Pyon inevitably affect Moses.

"You go first."

Moses said in an unquestionable tone.

Pyon glanced at Moses's eyes, without any pretense, and turned around and ran towards Netero's position without hesitation.

The shadow clones immediately chased after Pyon.

Their movement, with their lower bodies transformed into shadows, is not only elusive but also fast.

There are not many shadow clones that Moses can stop.

Soon, some shadow clones passed him and chased after Pyon, but it was difficult for them to create another encirclement around Pyon in a short period of time.

And Pyon's running speed was not slow etiher, like a rabbit, she rushed towards Netero at an extremely fast speed.

Elsewhere…

Cheadle, Botobai, and Saccho, who were kept in the encirclement, all noticed Pyon and Moses.

Except for Cheadle, who was not in danger for the time being, Botobai and Saccho looked precarious, as if they would collapse under the encirclement of the shadow clones at any moment.

On the square.

Netero clasped his hands together.

100-Type Guanyin, glowing with golden light, kept hitting the Eye of Sight with its palms, but the effect was minimal.

Netero is well aware of the effects of limitations and also knows that conventional attack methods may not be able to break this Nen Space.

However, if they remained trapped here, they would gradually lose the advantage of action against the Seirin Group.

He believed that Seirin Group had used this Post-Mortem Object to gain a time advantage, so they had to rely on it.

'Can I only passively wait for the 'ability' to resolve itself here...'

Netero thought so, but his hand did not stop, and the 100-Type Guanyin continuously bombarded the Eye of Sight.

This is the only thing he can do at the moment.
