"Most Nen users only utilize a few of their abilities. Very few dare to experiment with excessively negative mental energy, often leading them down a path of no return."
"Even I am the same."
"Therefore, Ron, you must pay special attention to this in the future."
"Some Nen users seek power by tapping into these overly negative mental energies, leading them to lose control."
Upon hearing this, Ron couldn't help but think of someone.
In the original plot's movie, there was someone .
Jed claimed that his power was not Nen, but rather a curse.
However, based on what Zeno had just said, the curse that Jed wielded was actually a form of Nen.
It was simply different from that of conventional Nen users.
He harnessed excessively negative mental energy, which in turn affected his consciousness.
"However, some people have figured out ways to manipulate negative mental energy."
"That is a disaster." ( T/N changed to disaster from calamity, because there is a clear difference between them and the 5 calamities)
"In this world, disasters mostly occur naturally, born from extremely harsh environments."
"However, there is also the possibility of artificially created disasters."
"That huge cockroach was most likely one of those."
"By utilizing human disgust, fear, and resentment towards cockroaches… these negative mental energies can be collected and concentrated. When combined with a special method, one can create a disaster."
Ron had never heard of such things in the original plot.
Moreover, it reminded him of something from another world.
A world called Jujutsu Kaisen.
That world is home to many terrifying entities known as curses.
Most curses are born from human fears.
Fear of volcanoes, fear of forests, fear of the ocean, fear of humanity…
These fears give birth to curses.
These curses possess incredibly powerful abilities.
Humans find it almost impossible to contend with them.
The birth of curses is strikingly similar to the disasters Zeno mentioned.
"If I'm not mistaken, that huge cockroach was created by someone following us."
"The purpose might be to gather materials for crafting Nen tools."
Ron's eyes flickered for a moment.
"Is it that bone? So, Grandpa Zeno, should we return it to them?"
Zeno shook his head and said, "Ron, don't forget our identity. What are we?"
"No, we are the world's number one assassins," Zeno stated.
"You only know part of the rules regarding our family. Let me repeat them for you now."
"The rules of the Zoldyck family are as follows."
"First, before truly carrying out an assassination mission, we must thoroughly investigate the target's situation. If there's not at least a ninety-nine per cent chance of success, do not act."
"Second, do not engage in unprofitable business."
"Third, anything that comes into our possession is ours."
"Fourth, if there is an enemy who poses a threat to our lives, we will exhaust the strength of our entire family to eliminate them, unless we are unable to defeat them."
Ron instinctively asked a question.
"Grandpa Zeno, have we ever encountered someone we couldn't defeat?"
Zeno nodded once, then shook his head.
"There was indeed someone we couldn't defeat, but it was not a life-and-death grudge."
Upon hearing this, Ron already had an answer in mind.
It could only be the chairman of the Hunter Association, one of the world's top five Nen users, and once the strongest Nen user on the human continent, Netero.
"The chairman of the Hunter Association, Netero."
Zeno said, "He was already looking like an old man when I was a child, and even as I grew older, he still looked the same, having lived for hundreds of years."
"Hmph-What an old geezer."
"He is the only one who survived after battling your great-grandfather."
"This material is unnecessary for us to hand over," Zeno said. "However, we cannot stay here for too long."
The rules of the Zoldyck family dictate that one must gather intelligence before engaging in combat. Since the situation of the enemy is unclear, Zeno would not rashly initiate a fight.
"Ron, your plan might have to be temporarily put on hold. The dedicated butler for Milluki will also have to wait a bit longer."
Ron glanced at the crystal ball in front of him, feeling a bit regretful.
With such an occurrence, it was impossible to fully absorb the unique characteristics of Meteor City at one time. The appearance of the third Nen beast would have to be delayed again. However, in comparison to life, that seemed less important.
No matter how good the Nen beast was, the prerequisite was that he had to stay alive.
The reason Zeno didn't take action to capture the person behind them was simple: he didn't have absolute confidence.
If even Zeno was wary of someone like that, they were certainly not ordinary.
Moreover, it was uncertain whether there were other people involved.
This point was very important.
"I will attempt to attack that person later, but it won't last long. If I can succeed, that would be the best case; if I can't, I will leave immediately," Zeno said.
"Ron, you should leave first, heading toward the exit of Meteor City."
"Understood, Grandpa Zeno."
After a pause, Ron added, "Grandpa Zeno, I have a plan that I'd like you to consider."
"My Nen beast, the Killer Queen, has a very special ability that allows her to create bombs," Ron explained. "The bombs created by the Killer Queen can explode in two ways: one is the bomb itself exploding, and the other is that anything that touches the bomb will explode."
"For the first type, if the opponent is strong enough, they might react in time."
"But for the second type, the opponent, without prior information, is very likely unable to evade it."
"I haven't told anyone about the Killer Queen's ability."
"The opponent definitely won't know."
"I think we can exploit this point to devise a strategy."
Zeno's eyes lit up slightly.
"This is the ability of your Nen beast? Does it have such complexity? What are the conditions for the explosion?"
Ron responded, "It just requires contact."
Zeno was a bit surprised.
Nen abilities typically follow a rule of restrictions and vows; the stronger the ability, the more complex and numerous the conditions required to activate it, making it harder to achieve.
It was like Chrollo's skill, which required four preconditions to steal an opponent's ability.
What Ron proposed actually had a strong premise.
Not only could the bomb itself explode, but it could also cause anything that came into contact with the bomb to explode.
In Zeno's understanding, there should be many prerequisites involved.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve.
It wouldn't conform to the rules of restrictions and vows.
Zeno was somewhat puzzled.
However, at this moment, he certainly would not ask Ron for detailed explanations.
Moreover, this was Ron's own ability.
In fact, Ron had also paid a price in terms of complex restrictions and vows.
Spending a lot of time absorbing the characteristics of the Zoldyck estate was a significant factor.
The second point was that Ron was a transmigrator.
This fact itself was a strong restriction and vow.
The third point was the memories of the world of JOJO in Ron's mind.
Thus, Ron didn't need additional conditions.
"That's indeed hard to guard against. Given your current capacity, Ron, the bombs you create won't be weak, and they can certainly pose a threat."
Nen users cannot be completely calculated based on their level.
A low-level Nen user can also inflict harm on a high-level Nen user.
Just like in the original plot, when Hisoka fought against Kastro.
Kastro, who didn't even know the technique of Ren and had misdeveloped his ability's main direction, was vastly inferior to Hisoka in terms of level.
Yet, Kastro still managed to break one of Hisoka's arms.
Even if there was an element of Hisoka holding back, it still proves that the abilities of low-level Nen users can damage high-level Nen users.
"I will create an opportunity for you," Zeno said. "But be careful."
