It all fits perfectly with his theory.
Perhaps, when humans first migrated to the six continents, they split into two main groups.
The majority were people who primarily mastered the mind system, and today, most of the inhabitants of the six continents are their descendants.
Then there was a smaller group, represented by various small tribes, who had unique abilities and even different beliefs.
When these rare groups arrived, they might have interbred with the main population, which would explain why even these rare ethnic groups can now use the mind system.
This idea is supported by what happened during the Chimera Ant incident.
The chimera ants that carried human genes also had the ability to use the mind system.
Over time, it's likely that people who specialized in the mind system and those with special abilities interbred, allowing these rare tribes to gain access to the mind system as well.
Larry recalled that this was how the Kuruta tribe continued their line.
Since their numbers were small, they often accepted outsiders into the tribe through marriage.
After the genocide, only the eyeballs of those not originally from the Kuruta tribe were found intact.
If this hypothesis holds true, it explains a lot.
Even looking at the abilities of Dong, Ging, Gon, and others, it seems the Fulisi family was once the most powerful group skilled in Nen.
Thinking about this, Larry glanced at Ging beside him, feeling more confident that his theory was on the right track.
"It's likely that there are still humans living on the Dark Continent," Pariston added, lowering his voice.
At that moment, he put on his trademark faint, somewhat dark fake smile.
To an outsider, it might seem warm and friendly, but those who truly know Pariston understand it's completely insincere.
He often wears this fake smile, especially when he finds something amusing, the smile only grows more "radiant."
"Things are starting to get interesting," Pariston whispered.
Everyone exchanged glances.
None of them spoke, but hesitation flickered across their faces.
Everyone understood what Pariston was implying, even though he never said it outright: those humans aren't the same as them anymore.
They come from different cultures, speak different languages, and hold different beliefs.
Their abilities vary, and their appearances are noticeably different.
To put it bluntly, these "alien humans" might as well be strange monsters in their eyes.
Having evolved separately over a long time, they and the humans from the Dark Continent have become almost like two entirely different species.
If they cross paths during exploration, they can't afford to let their guard down, they might even treat each other as threats.
Even humans from the six known continents don't fully trust one another, so trusting these "alien humans" is out of the question.
A deadly clash between them is very possible.
Beyond frowned and calmly agreed, "Pariston's right. Even if we come across these aliens, we can't take them lightly.
Technically, they aren't the humans we usually talk about, so calling them 'aliens' fits perfectly."
Everyone's expressions grew serious as they absorbed Beyond's words.
They couldn't treat these people as the same kind; at the very least, they had to be extremely cautious when meeting them for the first time.
"Don't get too worked up," Ging said with a wry smile, waving his hand.
"The Dark Continent is huge, we might never even meet other humans."
He pointed out how dangerous the continent was, making it tough for these aliens to survive.
"For example, this guy died for some unknown reason."
He felt that, compared to the vastness of the Dark Continent, the distance they had traveled was barely anything, so the chance of encountering other humans was really slim.
Bushidora suddenly looked thoughtful, like he'd just realized something, and blurted out, "If we found the remains of an alien, does that mean there are others still alive here?"
His words caused a stir.
People weren't dismissing the idea as far-fetched; in fact, it made a lot of sense.
If some are still alive…
Ging's face went stiff, and before he could respond, Larry, who had been silent beside him, spoke up quietly, "Just like before, we stay alert no matter what. Always be ready for anything."
Although he knew the Bone Clan had been wiped out, he couldn't bring himself to explain it to the others.
It was enough just to keep their attention focused.
After Larry's final warning, any talk about "alien humans" was completely shut down.
What surprised them after entering the massive cave wasn't the enemy, they expected that, but rather an "alien human" unlike anything they could have imagined.
After gathering the remains, the group boarded the Steel Snake plane once again, ready to push further inside.
Though they were carrying remains, these weren't just any remains; it was something important enough not to simply discard.
As they ventured deeper, it became clear this underground passage was more complex than expected.
It wasn't a straight tunnel but a network of branching paths, resembling the veins of a leaf.
Without hesitation, they chose to follow the largest main road.
The bigger the path, the more likely they would encounter something significant.
But before they found any hope, disaster struck.
"Boom, boom!"
Heavy footsteps echoed, shaking the black rock beneath them.
A massive figure with a unique appearance blocked the Steel Snake's path, staring directly at them.
"Is that another stone giant?" someone whispered.
"No, it looks more like a silver giant," Bushidora said, voicing what everyone was thinking.
Unlike the dark, black giants they had seen before, this one gleamed with a bright silver hue, almost as if it were covered in a shining layer of metal.
The glow was so intense in the underground darkness that Bushidora seriously doubted they would see it clearly without their daytime glasses, it almost lit up the space on its own.
Beyond narrowed his eyes, a bad feeling creeping up.
"Forget about what it looks like. Focus on its strength and stay alert!" he warned.
This silver giant was likely far stronger than any they had faced before.
In the next instant, an overwhelming pressure radiated from the silver giant, pressing down on everyone nearby.
It was even stronger than before; almost immediately, Beyond and the others could sense just how terrifying this silver giant's power truly was.
What they didn't realize was that while the Stone Giant's strength ranked at S-level, the silver giant's power was firmly at a higher S-level.
Though it was only a slight difference, it made a huge impact.
The silver giant, though smaller at six or seven meters tall, gleamed with silver light covering its entire body.
