I wonder why he didn’t just give the surgery fruit to the protagonist, but instead chose to further design it, making it a bit more complicated and troublesome.
The following is the description of the ability.
**God’s Hand.**
**Effect:** Similar to the abilities of the surgery fruit in One Piece, it can divide the target's body. The target won’t bleed, feel pain, or die, and the state of the separated parts can be referenced to the Four-Quarters Fruit used by Buggy the Clown.
**Assumption:** If the target is split into four parts like Buggy, the target can still control the separated body parts without delay, but cannot control them in the air like Buggy.
**Key Point:** The power and effect depend on the difference in aura between the attacker and the defender, but Tashigi’s data attributes also play a role.
**Range:** Currently, it can only be used with hands, and both hands together. The maximum range is about the size of a shield. The larger the range, the more difficult it is to control, and the smaller the range, the easier it is to control.
**Key Point:** There is still a lot of room for improvement.
**The Birth of God’s Hand:** The main focus is on separation and control. The ability’s prototype is based on Tashigi, who is an excellent cook but has poor knife skills and techniques in handling ingredients.
**Current Ability Characteristics:** It can be understood as handling ingredients, whether living or dead. It can remove scales, take what is useful, and discard what is not. Once the target is on the chopping board, it is completely under control.
**During the battle with Kukku, Tashigi separated Kukku’s heart and hand. Kukku should have died immediately, but Kukku is a human, not an ingredient on a chopping board.**
**Tashigi is a good young man from Earth, not a cold-blooded killer. Deep down, he still resists hurting others and taking lives.**
**Therefore, the characteristics of no bleeding, no pain, and no death.**
**Later, because his first opponent was Kukku, Tashigi did not agree with this, and this marked the first transformation in his mindset, leading to the birth of the book "God’s Hand."**
**The existence of the book can be understood as a chopping board, a place for killing. Placing Kukku’s heart on the chopping board for processing is also a form of killing or punishment.**
**The book has a layer of meaning, which is to record and document.**
**After Tashigi performs the killing, the pages of the book turn black, recording the sins he has committed, which is equivalent to karma.**
**To clarify, as long as God’s Hand is used to harm a living being, the book will record this sin. Even a bug will be recorded in the book, and if a living being recorded in the book dies for other reasons, the pages will turn black, which is a form of indirect karma.**
**(There is a hidden setting here, so I won’t explain too much.)**
**As for what happens when all 100 pages of the book turn black, those who are willing to think can imagine along the lines of karma.**
**The above is the birth of God’s Hand. Next are the disadvantages.**
**Disadvantages:** Tashigi cannot directly harm the target affected by God’s Hand; he can only place the target in the book for killing. This self-imposed restriction is a manifestation of rationality, and it can also be seen as a form of hypocrisy.**
**However, anyone other than Tashigi can harm the separated parts.**
**For example, if Tashigi takes the target’s arm and has a monster pet, he can choose not to seal it in the book but throw it into the monster’s mouth.**
**The most effective way to kill an enemy is to separate the heart and then perform the killing, as the internal organs are the weak point of aura users. Without aura protection, they can be directly sealed in the book.**
**Aura is the foundation of aura users, so the effect of the ability is influenced by the target’s aura. If the separated part of the target is protected by aura, it cannot be sealed in the book.**
**However, God’s Hand can remove aura. Only after removing the aura and the target is unwilling to generate more aura can the separated part be sealed in the book.**
**This restriction has a benefit. For example, if Tashigi takes the target’s leg, he can continuously remove the aura from the leg. The target then has two choices: maintain the aura on the lost leg, which Tashigi will keep removing, leading to a continuous consumption of aura.**
**The second choice is for the target to give up the leg, allowing Tashigi to seal it in the book for punishment.**
**This setting is particularly effective against species with strong regenerative abilities, which I will use later and won’t elaborate on.**
**God’s Hand can finely divide the target’s body below the head. For example, if an arm is taken, it can be further divided. If the control ability is strong enough, it can be divided into countless grains of sand.**
**Note that the head cannot be finely divided; it can only be separated at the neck, and the head cannot be sealed in the book.**
**A bigger disadvantage is that if the enemy understands God’s Hand’s ability well, they can use this to gain an advantage.**
**For example, if an enemy with a release-type ability has their arm or leg taken by Tashigi, they won’t feel pain and will be prepared. If they gather most of their aura on the separated part and release it faster than Tashigi can remove it, even with a severed arm or leg, they can continue to perform release-type attacks.**
**This outcome also depends on the aura of both parties.**
**If Tashigi’s efficiency and skill in removing aura are strong enough, he can avoid this result.**
**The above is all.**
**Currently, these are the things I can think of. I will also emphasize the original setting.**
**As long as an aura user believes their aura is not practical enough, they can improve and refine it. For example, Kurogasa’s Thief’s Ultimate Skill requires holding the book, so if the stolen ability needs both hands to use, he can’t use it.**
**Therefore, he improved the Thief’s Ultimate Skill by adding bookmarks, allowing him to use the stolen aura abilities with both hands.**
**Similarly, although Tashigi’s current God’s Hand has disadvantages and limitations, as his strength increases, he can gradually improve and refine it, making it more powerful and practical.**
**The original setting mentions that a person’s innate talent is limited. Creating an aura ability consumes innate talent, and improving and refining it also consumes innate talent.**
**Once the innate talent is exhausted, it means the talent is depleted.**
**However, Tashigi is the protagonist and has the golden finger and white smoke font, which naturally bypasses this limitation.**
**I’ve written so many words, hoping to give you a sufficient understanding of God’s Hand.**
**Zi Zhu has written several fanfictions and is a seasoned fanfiction author. I deeply understand the limitations of the original work on fanfiction, especially in terms of settings, which are like chains binding the protagonist.**
**Zi Zhu really wants to write an original work, but since I started with fanfiction and deeply love this genre, the next one will definitely be an attempt at an original work.**
**Returning to the main topic, regarding the impact of the original setting on fanfiction, I deeply feel that考证党 (those who are very particular about the accuracy of settings) are not suitable for reading fanfiction, as they easily get caught up in the settings.**
**Since writing this book, the update efficiency for each chapter has been over three hours, which is very slow.**
**My focus in updates is not on the writing style but on other aspects, but it’s still very slow. Perhaps it’s because I value the performance of this book very much, or perhaps it’s because it’s a Hunter x Hunter fanfiction that requires a lot of attention.**
**Regardless of the reason, I also want to have a book with an average of over 3,000 views.**
**Also, my experience and knowledge are not high. Just thinking about the ancient artifacts I’ve written about so far is very difficult. In the future, there will be many more ancient relics and treasures, which will likely be another reason for the slow update efficiency.**
**As for ingredients, it’s easier to reference "Gourmet" for setting.**
**Speaking of "Gourmet," I’ll also explain why it hasn’t appeared yet.**
**In "Gourmet," there are many delicious ingredients, but they require strength to obtain.**
**Similarly, obtaining ingredients in Hunter x Hunter is not easy. Tashigi just arrived and needs to have enough strength to access this area, which is why "Gourmet" hasn’t appeared yet.**
**If you have any other questions, I’ve posted a thread for questions. You can post your questions there, and I will basically reply to all of them.**
**Oops, I accidentally became a chatterbox.**
**You see, I’ve written so many words for you dear readers. So, can you consider this chapter as an extra update for the owed recommendation tickets?~**
**Do you see the pleading in my bright, black, watery eyes?**
