Hunter x Hunter: Noah’s Heart

The collapse phenomenon is a unique phenomenon that Noah first came into contact with and related to Noah's Heart.

At first, Noah was sent to Meteor Street by Tefilom in exchange for a large amount of supplies. After listening to the introduction of the Four Spirits, the elders of Meteor Street learned about Noah's basic role and began to conduct independent experiments.

After a period of research, Meteor Street made Noah suffer and obtained a magical substance that can directly awaken ordinary people's telekinesis abilities, named Zero Cells.

Using Zero Cells, Meteor Street successfully cultivated derivatives No. 1 to No. 10.

Afterwards, Noah destroyed the laboratory and escaped. Meteor Street used the remaining Zero cells to create an experimental body different from No. 1 and others through another method.

However, because these experimental subjects use residual zero cells, the internal structure of their bodies is very unstable. Once they use force too frequently or are stimulated by the mother's body from the outside, they will directly lose their ability to resist and appear for a short period of time. The phenomenon of turning into blood and dying within a short period of time is called collapse phenomenon.

Noah had almost forgotten this word, and it wasn't until the Dongba in front of him turned into blood that Noah recalled it again.

Why does Dongba suffer from collapse?

Regardless of the original experimenters, the remaining experimental materials, or even the semi-derivatives including Lamy, they have long been completely eliminated. In recent years, with the help of the two elders in black robes and Jino, ’s death, coupled with the emergence and influence of the Ark Organization, Meteor Street has long been silent, and the emergence of such semi-finished derivatives has been fundamentally cut off.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to say that Dongba is a semi-derivative body like Lamy and others.

And if Dongba is not a semi-derivative, then why does the collapse phenomenon that only occurs in semi-derivatives appear in Dongba?

Looking at the blood in front of him, Noah couldn't help but frowned.

The words of Kata Doven were recalled in his mind. What Dongba told him on the top of the Jingjing Tower about what Kata Doven did to him, and Dongba's death and resurrection afterwards, Noah kept it in his mind. Listed it again and started to sort it out carefully again.

What kind of ability did Kata Doven use?

"Well, it's time."

While Noah was wondering, a raft was floating on the sea. On the raft, the blond-haired and green-eyed Kata Dove was lying leisurely, looking at the bright sun above his head, smiling to himself.

Thirteen lives, this is the ability Kata Doven used on Dongba.

The conditions for activating this ability are to obtain the target's blood, inject a drop of Kata Dove's special heart blood into the target's body, and control the flow of this drop of blood into the heart. After that, the ability can be activated at any time.

Faced with Dongba, who took the initiative and couldn't even read, it was easy for Kata Doven to put his heart and soul into it.

The most intuitive effect of thirteen lives is to turn the target into a derivative that only Kata Doven can use. Like ordinary derivatives, it cannot awaken the ability to read, but it will greatly improve its physical quality.

But the real effect of Thirteen Lives is more than that. After Katadolphin's special blood enters the target's heart, Katadolphin can begin to set the rules.

Give the target y chances to come back to life within x days!

This is the main effect of the ability of Thirteen Lives.

Among them, the total number that Katadofen can distribute is fourteen, that is to say, the sum of x and y must be equal to the number fourteen. Then the total number is split into x and y, so that the target has the ability to rise from the dead multiple times within a period of time,

For example, Kata Doven can give the target ten opportunities to resurrect from the dead, but these ten opportunities to resurrect from the dead are only valid for four days, and no more.

During the activation period of the ability, no matter how the target dies, even if it is turned into powder, it will be resurrected and restored to its optimal physical strength and condition.

However, this ability also has flaws, or in other words, negative effects. The first to bear the brunt is the personality replacement that Noah has discovered.

There is a reason why this ability is called Thirteen Lives. Because the maximum total is fourteen, after the ability is activated, the target will have up to thirteen opportunities to resurrect from the dead. However, every time the target is resurrected from the dead, after the resurrection, a brand new personality will replace the one before death. Personality.

Although it will inherit all the previous memories, the new personality has no connection with the original personality. To be honest, it is like the relationship between the original body and the clone.

The character, way of thinking, and code of conduct of this new personality are all brand new. Any emotion that the target has in his life may become a component of the new personality. It is precisely because of this that Dongba will show completely different character traits and codes of conduct after each death.

Secondly, as long as the ability is affected, unless the mind is removed, the target will die directly as long as the time exceeds the set number of days. After death, all the target's memories before the ability was activated will enter Katadofen's brain. In addition, Katadofen cannot absorb the target in any other way.

The time set by Kata Doven for Dongba is six and eight, that is, within six days, there are eight opportunities to rise from the dead.

The date when the ability is activated is the moment when Kata Doven's shield is breached by Noah, and the six-day time limit is now, the second day after the candidates set foot on Sebiro Island.

It was precisely because the time limit was reached that Dongba, who was trying to come to Noah, collapsed and died.

"This guy is really a bastard. Is he a new killer? He really didn't have any good intentions when he took the initiative to get close to me. I am killing harm for the people, right?"

Lying on the raft, Katadoven closed his eyes and digested the memories from Dongba.

"I wonder if Noah has had enough fun, and how much has he guessed about my ability? If he is still confused, the next game will be difficult."

"But if you kill a few more times, you should be able to guess roughly, right? At least the personality changes should be guessable."

"If that guy Tefilom is here, I really want to try this ability on him. I'm really curious about how he will react after knowing this effect. Not myself, that selfish bastard who talks lies should be very angry. Be frightened, hahaha, what a pity.”

With a cheerful smile, the raft drifted slowly towards the Republic of Bartokia. ...
