Chapter 138
🕑 Added 2025-01-06 17:21:45 +0000 UTCOne of the Zoldyck family servants, driven by greed, made a wish to become a billionaire.
This led to the subsequent deaths of 67 people!
All of this originated from Nanika, the symbiotic entity residing in Alluka's body, a life form from the Dark Continent.
When Nanika appears, its eyes and mouth turn pitch black, and it is capable of granting any wish.
Nanika, as a being from the Dark Continent, possesses a unique and terrifying ability.
Its gender has not been officially defined, but it is speculated to be female, as even Killua treats it as a little sister.
Silva Zoldyck once remarked about Nanika:
"That thing isn’t human. You can't view it as family. That thing is something from another world—pure darkness."
For this reason, Alluka was isolated during childhood. None of the family, except Killua, liked her.
Alluka’s room is hidden behind five secured vaults in the Zoldyck mansion, each requiring a 10-digit password to unlock.
Nanika adores Killua, who was the only one to accompany and care for her and Alluka since childhood.
Once, Killua told Nanika, “Never appear again,” in order to grant Alluka freedom. This made Nanika cry. It was only after Alluka’s own tears that Killua admitted his true feelings, accepting Nanika and promising never to abandon her.
Alluka refers to Killua as "Onii-chan" (big brother), while Nanika directly calls him "Killua," demonstrating a familial dependence on him.
Nanika listens only to Killua. The reason Killua can make wishes directly is that Nanika likes him.
As one of the Five Great Calamities from the Dark Continent, Nanika is speculated to be a gaseous lifeform called Ai, which thrives on desires.
Some theorize that Nanika’s true identity might be a creature known as "Beast of Nurture," which grants happiness in exchange for life.
The mysterious being is believed to have latched onto Alluka for some unknown reason, and Alluka can summon Nanika’s other soul at will.
Those who failed to meet Nanika’s demands have been found twisted into grotesque forms, resembling fleshy, coiled ropes—a result of the calamity's power. However, the Zoldyck family’s meticulous cleanup ensures these incidents remain hidden.
Apart from that, Nanika’s voice, when she appears, is characterized by a repeated utterance of "ai," her most frequently spoken word.
As to why a being from the forbidden land resides in the clan, one theory suggests it dates back to an ancestor who ventured into the forbidden land and returned bearing an unknown entity. This may have passed through the bloodline to the host.
Others believe Nanika's appearance is intricately tied to the sibling, as she only manifested after their birth.
It could be said that the sibling, with their irresistible charm, has drawn the love of the entire family (except for one member) and even captivated a being from another world.
Nanika and the host share a strong fondness for the sibling, relying on them like family.
This unique relationship has led to a popular jest among observers:
"The entire clan revolves around the sibling."
Nanika’s power operates on two concepts: requests and demands.
She can grant any wish (a request), turning her eyes white as the host reemerges. However, she also periodically makes demands of individuals. If three demands are fulfilled, she grants a wish. Her eyes turn black when she appears.
If a person fulfills three demands, Nanika can grant them one wish. After fulfilling a wish, her eyes revert to normal.
Nanika only directs her demands at one person at a time. If the individual is removed from her presence, the demands are interrupted until they return.
Up to the current timeline, Nanika has not made demands of her family.
The larger the wish, the harsher the demands on the next target. For instance, someone wishing to become a billionaire led to demands involving a brain, liver, and intestines. A simpler wish for a computer resulted in demands for fingernails.
This exchange system aligns with the principle of equivalent trade.
However, refusing three demands results in catastrophic consequences: the person who refuses, along with the one they love most, will die immediately.
If more than two people die, the order of death prioritizes the person who refused, their loved one, and those in close contact with them.
The more extravagant the prior wish, the greater the death toll for failing the demands. After this, the difficulty of wishes resets, with the next individual starting fresh.
If the person fulfilling demands dies mid-process, it counts as a failure, resulting in at least one additional death.
Nanika cannot make demands of people whose names she doesn’t know, and the same individual cannot make consecutive requests.
While Nanika can grant nearly any wish, she is less adept at healing and requires physical contact to do so. Healing requests have never led to violent demands, suggesting Nanika’s inherent kindness.
The sibling has remarked that this curse is not tied to the host but to the greed of those making wishes.
Those harboring avarice during their requests face crueler consequences during the demands.
Nanika’s affection for the sibling gives them unique privileges: they can issue commands using direct language rather than questions. These commands incur no cost, bypass demands, and can be used at any time.
Nanika listens solely to the sibling’s commands, making them zero-risk.
When a family member once tried to force the sibling’s hand, they commanded Nanika to send them home immediately, with no repercussions.
This exclusivity stems from the sibling being the only one to offer genuine companionship during their shared childhood.
In theory, the sibling could wield Nanika’s abilities to conquer the six continents or achieve any goal.
Unfortunately, their autonomy was compromised when a controlling relative implanted them with mental manipulation, instilling the philosophy of avoiding unwinnable battles.
Even so, when the sibling regained their memories, they felt deep remorse for forgetting the host and Nanika.
Thankfully, despite being forgotten, the host and Nanika harbored no resentment. Instead, they greeted their sibling with unrestrained joy upon reunion.
While the rest of the family treats the host as a monster, the sibling’s love remains unwavering.
Their cold, calculating father and grandfather regard the host as an anomaly rather than kin.
“Keep them apart,” the grandfather once advised.
“I’ve already assigned someone to handle it,” replied the father, approving a mental intervention.
This controlling family member, while twisted, always acts to protect their clan’s broader interests.
Their shared philosophy reinforces the notion that in this world, the strong dominate the weak.
Meanwhile, the sibling’s bond with Nanika and the host remains a unique exception, a fragile yet profound connection.
