Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 133 The Singing Jellyfish and the Dark Sun of the Sea

Chapter 133 The Singing Jellyfish and the Dark Sun of the Sea

With the fish no longer blocking their way, the group successfully entered the palace ahead, whose style was different from the other places.

Compared to it, other buildings look like the dwellings of commoners and the wicked rich.

How could a mansion built next to a slum not attract attention?

In particular... Six Eyes also observed non-human life energy within it.

The palace gate was about thirty meters high. After the group entered, they were greeted by a spacious area.

There are hundreds of stained glass windows, and a sphere emitting white light hangs above.

The light was not dazzling; in fact, it had become somewhat hazy and dim, exuding an aura of insufficient energy, yet it still provided a faint light for the dark palace.

Apart from this sphere, the palace was practically empty.

Of course, if you include the strange patterns on the walls that resemble symbols or some kind of unknown script, then there are quite a lot of things in this palace.

And from the moment they stepped into the palace, the ethereal song disappeared.

However, even if the other party hid, they could not escape the perception of the Six-Eyed.

"Let me see what you are..." Su Wu stepped forward and pulled out a... jellyfish from a crack in the wall.

The deep purple jellyfish with black spots looks poisonous.

Indeed, fine, whisker-like tentacles instantly radiated out, extending to a range of fifty meters.

But at the same moment its tentacles extended, an invisible slash also struck it.

All the tentacles were severed at the root, causing the jellyfish to shrink instantly and close its umbrella-shaped body.

Anyone who gets touched by the tentacles, except for Killua, would likely experience a severe reaction.

Only Killua and Suwu will remain unchanged.

Because this jellyfish is highly poisonous.

Su Wu looked at the hand that was holding the jellyfish. It was already red and swollen due to an allergic reaction, but now it had turned a deep purple, indicating that the poisoning was quite severe.

However, the toxin did not spread throughout the body through that hand; in fact, it gradually faded, changing from dark purple to light purple, and eventually returned to its previous state.

"I feel... my heart... is about to jump out of my chest." Xiao Jie clutched his chest, as if he could hear his heart pounding louder and louder, as if it was about to explode.

Just a moment ago, he sensed an extremely strong sign of danger.

"...A poisonous jellyfish..." Su Wu pinched the jellyfish in one hand and scratched her cheek with the other.

The one that just sang, barring any unforeseen circumstances, was this jellyfish.

Unless there is something else in this palace, but Six Eyes did not detect it.

A singing jellyfish... There are so many flaws, but in the Hunter x Hunter world, it doesn't seem like anything is surprising.

"Can it talk? Say a few words for me?" He waved the pitiful jellyfish in his hand, which had lost all its tentacles, like a villain.

"La la—" The jellyfish tentacles in their hands slowly grew back, but they no longer attacked them on a large scale as before.

Its mouth is located on its tentacles.

It can't speak in a language that humans can understand, and the language it utters sounds like singing.

It's also possible that the other person was indeed singing, but they couldn't understand it.

Wait a minute, isn't Xiao Jie able to communicate with non-speaking magical beasts?

Thinking this, Su Wu looked at Xiao Jie, pointed to her ear, and gestured for him to unblock his hearing.

Xiao Jie nodded and did as he was told, and Su Wu handed the jellyfish to him.

"Come on, ask it what it is," the white-haired boy said casually.

Communicating with jellyfish?

"Understood!" Xiao Jie gave a thumbs up and replied confidently.

"La~la~la~ah~" the jellyfish made a humming sound.

"Hmm, I see, I understand." Xiao Jie nodded with a serious expression.

They speak different languages, yet they seem to be able to communicate.

"It says it is the master of this palace, and the fish outside are its guards..." Xiao Jie turned to tell Su Wu the information he had obtained from the exchange.

After saying that, he scratched the back of his head and laughed, "But I think it's lying."

"It's definitely lying to you." Su Wu pinched a jellyfish.

How could a jellyfish create such a large palace? It probably just took it for itself since it was unclaimed.

However, the claim that those fish were the other party's guards... remains to be investigated.

Perhaps it used some method to control those fish?

"Tell it that if it doesn't tell the truth, I'll eat it." The white-haired boy sneered and stuck out his tongue to lick his lips.

Even if this stuff is highly poisonous, he won't have any problems if he eats it.

It's just a simple cold jellyfish salad, and they're trying to act all high and mighty.

"Hmm." Xiao Jie nodded, and no one knew what he said or how he said it, but the jellyfish seemed to understand and struggled to escape, but Su Wu held it tightly.

"La...du la..." The jellyfish weakly swayed its tentacles and continued to make sounds.

"It said it has lived here for three hundred years... It used to be brighter than the white ball on top, and it could even sing. After learning from it for a while, it gained the ability to control the fish..."

"They also said that nothing has lived here for three hundred years." Xiao Jie acted as the translator.

"Listening to music can give living beings abilities..." he couldn't help but exclaim as he relayed the story.

There are indeed many things in the world that they don't know.

"It's not entirely unexpected," Su Wu said after a moment's thought.

After all, it's already amazing that a jellyfish can live for three hundred years. This thing isn't the immortal jellyfish; the lifespan of an ordinary jellyfish is only a few months to a few years.

The other party must have mutated because of that song; not only has their lifespan increased, but they have also gained special abilities.

"But that thing..." Su Wu looked up at the sphere above, which was small, no bigger than a fist.

It emits light because of the faint energy circulating inside; it will go out completely when the last bit of energy is gone.

If this thing were any brighter, it would look a bit like an artificial sun.

Speaking of which, there seem to be similar spheres on the buildings outside, but they don't emit light and have become like round stones.

What would happen if we charged it some energy?

Thinking this, Su Wu approached the sphere above and then reached out her hand.

"Block your hearing," he said to Xiao Jie.

Infuse it with magical power.

Why not use Qi? Because it's life energy, using it would be a waste.

He also wanted to see if he could use his curse power, since it could be extracted from negative emotions.

The answer is yes.

The sphere, which originally emitted white light, was gradually stained black after being infused with magical power.

Finally, it turned into a sphere emitting a black light.

Suddenly, hundreds of stained-glass windows around it gathered the black light it emitted and reflected it to other places.

Beams of jet-black light, like black threads, were strung together through these windows and the sphere above the building.

It's like a net has been woven.

This is clearly an ingenious mechanism.

Suddenly, the top of the palace opened up, and a black sphere was lifted high, like a rising black sun, but the dark light could not illuminate the dark seabed.

It will only make this place more like some kind of terrifying lair.

Su Wu made a quick decision and blocked her hearing.

The very next second, a song louder than the jellyfish’s humming rang out, but the lyrics were quite different.

It doesn't even sound good.

When the black sun rises and the song echoes across the deep sea, the abandoned building seems to come alive.

A large number of creatures appeared, seemingly in a hurry to escape.

The building swayed, as if it would rise from the ground and transform into a giant at any moment, or perhaps it was just about to collapse.

The colorful corals turned pitch black in an instant, and all living things around them that were illuminated by the black light seemed to have mutated, changing from vibrant colors to a uniform pitch black.

Many of the spheres atop the buildings teetered precariously and eventually did indeed fall to the ground, shattering into pieces.

The building resembles a withered flower, with pieces of rubble falling away.

It's like dying.

A black vortex appeared beneath the building, its powerful suction drawing all objects into it until they disappeared, like a black hole in the universe.

Both the shattered buildings and the surrounding creatures were drawn in by the powerful suction, involuntarily approaching the vortex.

Killua and the others swam in the opposite direction early on, but they still couldn't escape the strong attraction and their bodies involuntarily retreated.

"Damn it." Killua angrily flung his hand away.

What did that guy do?! How could he suddenly do this?!

He struggled to swim upwards while dodging a jumble of obstacles that were being pulled downwards by the suction, even though the strong suction made it seem like he was standing still.

But the next second, he realized that his ankle had been grabbed.

Then... came a violent impact.

The water seemed to transform into a massive, solid wall in front of them, only to be forcefully smashed apart by them.

Even though they had used their mental powers to protect their bodies, they still unconsciously groaned.

Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a very brief moment before they were able to breathe in the outside air.

"...Great, I survived!" Xiao Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and cheer the moment he surfaced.

His intuition told him that if he were to be caught in that black vortex, he would surely die.

"We should use air..." Su Wu shook her wet hair and said thoughtfully.

It was originally white light, but it turned black when the power of the spell was used... which caused a great destruction.

If the input is Qi, it should still be white light, which should be a good result.

After all, they are equivalent to positive energy and negative energy. The different nature of the input energy should lead to different results.

However, this was just his guess, because there was no second chance.

but……

He silently took out a fist-sized black bead and looked down at it.

【name:(???)

level:???

Abilities: Glows light / Stores the songs of a mysterious race; prolonged listening can cause biological mutations / extend lifespan.

Evaluation: Items left behind by a mysterious tribe.

Before leaving, he grabbed a handful of things and brought the strange bead with him.

When air is poured into the bead, the black bead turns white again.

"This thing should fetch a good price." He casually tossed the bead to Killua, who was fuming and complaining that he had made a wasted trip and found no treasure.

"What is this?" Killua asked, somewhat puzzled.

Although I don't know what this thing is, the previous commotion on the seabed seems to be related to it, so it's probably not wrong to call it a treasure.

"I don't know, but it can extend lifespan and might even give someone Nen abilities. Do you think this thing is valuable?" Su Wu chuckled casually.

"Of course it's worth it!" Killua said decisively.
