Time slowly passes-
It wasn't until 7 PM that Moses received a call from Ging.
"Done."
Ging said over the phone.
So Moses hung up and led the group to the lake.
Ging was already waiting on the shore.
At this moment, he was covered in dirt and looked exhausted.
It was obvious that studying the Divine Script had taken a lot out of him.
Moses was also somewhat of an expert, but his proficiency in Divine Script couldn't compare to Ging's.
If he were to study such a large-scale ancient Divine Script, not to mention whether he could make any sense of it, just the difference in skill level would mean he'd spend who knows how much time on it.
"Do you want to leave immediately?"
Ging looked at Moses and his group as they approached, and went straight to the point.
After all, time was of the essence-
"Yeah."
Moses nodded, then looked around at his teammates.
'Biscuit has both frontal combat capability and rest guarantee.'
'Shizuku will be responsible for clearing the way and temporarily storing supplies.'
'Menchi ensures logistical and food needs.'
'Sanbica will reduce the threat of viruses and bacteria.'
'Pyon will be responsible for the translation of ancient texts and necessary communication.'
Kanzai will protect the safety of logistics personnel while also sharing combat responsibilities.
'And-'
'Hisoka, the trial and error tool.'
His gaze finally rested on Hisoka's face, and Moses always felt like he had forgotten something.
Hisoka raised an eyebrow, and vaguely felt that there seemed to be something important to do before they set off.
"Time is precious. I will activate the Teleportation Ability of Divine Script to send you there now."
All preparations had been discussed beforehand, so Ging didn't need to say much more.
He directly walked to a spot on the blue stone slab, then channeled his Aura into it, activating this ancient Divine Script that had existed for who knows how long.
When Ging's Aura seeped into the blue stone slab, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction instantly, and all the patterns on the blue stone slab glowed with a faint white light.
Seeing this, Moses threw a unit of shadow, which can become the entrance and exit of the Shadow World, above the lake before the Pipeline was activated.
Before setting off, he still had to pour out the lake water from the Shadow World and verify an idea.
Ging glanced up at the shadow sphere suspended in mid-air, then looked at Moses.
The two people's eyes met in mid-air.
Immediately after, they both nodded slowly.
At the next moment.
The white light emanating from the patterns suddenly intensified, flashing like a camera flash at Moses and the others.
Once the intense white light faded, Moses and his group vanished into thin air, leaving Ging alone standing on the blue stone slab at the bottom of the lake.
"Next..."
Ging murmured softly, then in a flash, he returned to the shore of the lake and snapped his fingers.
Immediately, a Nen Sphere, that was as solid as a substance, flew towards a pattern on the blue stone slab at the lake bottom.
After that, Ging didn't watch the Nen Sphere he had shot out, but instead looked up at the shadow sphere suspended above the lake.
But the shadow sphere suddenly flattened, like a black curtain floating in mid-air.
Rumble-
A dull sound came from the black curtain.
The next second, a large amount of lake water emerged out of nowhere from the black curtain, converging into a powerful water column about two meters in diameter, plummeting vertically onto the lake surface.
From a distance, it looked like a large faucet had been turned on.
"Don't fail there."
Ging stared at the vertically falling water column and muttered to himself.
…
On the other side.
When Moses entered the Pipeline, he felt his vision blur. When he came to his senses, he found himself in a gray and static space.
Before he could take a closer look at the surrounding space, countless streams of light came rushing towards him from the front, like fleeting meteors, swiftly passing by his side.
And these streams of light seemed endless, continuously coming from the front, each one brushing past him in the blink of an eye.
"Hmm!?"
Such a marvelous sensation left Moses unable to hide his astonishment.
'This is-'
'Pipeline?'
'So, is this state the process of being teleported?'
Moses didn't have time to think deeply, and shifted his attention to the shared vision of the shadow unit.
Before the ancient Divine Script was activated, he had left a shadow unit by the lake.
On one hand, he wanted to dump the lake water to verify the idea of using the Shadow World remotely.
On the other hand, he wanted to use this opportunity to see the upper limit of the Shadow World.
Through the shared vision ability, Moses saw Ging standing on the shore and immediately controlled the shadow to open the passage to the Shadow World.
The shadow suspended above the lake then began to pour out the lake water it had swallowed earlier...
'Nothing is in the way.'
Moses's thoughts stirred slightly.
But just as his mind became active, the shared vision in front of him suddenly trembled and became blurry, and then the entire vision suddenly disappeared as if the signal was interrupted.
Along with it, the connection with the shadow unit was also severed.
'It still doesn't work. Maybe it's because I've exceeded the distance and my abilities are no longer sufficient...'
Having lost contact with the shadow unit, Moses frowned slightly.
It seems that right now, he-
is moving away from the original location at an extremely fast speed.
Then these streams of light before him...
Perhaps they are not rushing towards him at light speed, but he is moving towards the front at light speed.
But his body is now in a static state.
And it's not that he doesn't want to move, but that he simply can't move.
Contradictory, bizarre, inexplicable.
That's roughly what Moses is feeling at this moment.
Moreover, being here, the sense of time and space seemed to be separated vertically by something like a card, causing his cognition to gradually become blurred.
He doesn't know how long this state lasted.
Moses came back to his senses again, and suddenly found himself standing on a rough, white expanse of land.
'Are we there yet…?'
The haziness enveloping his consciousness instantly dissipated, and Moses quickly looked around. He then saw Biscuit and the others scattered within ten meters around him, which put his mind at ease.
"Are you all…"
Looking at Biscuit and the others, Moses was about to speak when he was interrupted by a deafening loud noise.
His expression changed immediately, and Biscuit and the others also heard the noise.
Almost in the same second, everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
What came into view was a creature as huge as a small mountain.
"This is…!?"
Everyone looked at the mountain-like creature, and their pupils shrank sharply.
'It's too huge.'
'And…'
'A tiger's head, a crocodile's body, a snake's tail!'
The appearance of the creature in front of them is basically the same as the Night Watcher that went to the Muguru Hunting Ground through the Pipeline. The only difference in appearance is that this creature is pure white all over, as if it had undergone a genetic mutation.
But the bigger question is!
The Night Watcher that was teleported to the Muguru Hunting Ground through the Pipeline was the size of a heavy truck, but the Night Watcher in front of them was as big as a mountain!
The indescribable visual impact left Moses and his group standing still in shock.
Suddenly-
Against the backdrop of the pure white environment, a palm-sized black object, like a snowflake, came to the side of the giant Night Watcher, naturally entering the field of vision of Moses and the others.
Moses glanced at the unknown black object from the corner of his eye.
Compared to the giant Night Watcher, this black object, whether it's a willow catkin or a feather, is too insignificant.
Moses didn't know why he still had the mind to pay attention to this tiny black object that stood out in the pure white environment.
He didn't have time to check how the shadow returned. His first thought was to open the passage to the Shadow World and let everyone take refuge first.
But what happened next left everyone deeply shocked.
The willow catkin-like black object landed on the body of the giant Night Watcher.
And at the next moment-
Half of the Night Watcher's body was flattened without warning...
A body as large as a small mountain.
Just like that, flattened by an unknown object resembling a willow catkin or a feather...
Perhaps, no human could remain calm in the face of such a scene.
At least Moses couldn't.
The scene before him was too shocking.
It's just-
At this moment, he inexplicably thought of the scene from his childhood when he quickly flattened an empty soda can with his foot...
