Better translation now available on the first link, way cleaner.
You're right and my question about the introduction of "souls" as a concept was answered too with this better translation.
My current understanding is that it appears that Furykov deciphered Benjamin's nen beast ability by using his own specialization ability. It's still not 100% clear about the hows of Benjamin becoming "a god" or "a deity" of Kakin. For instance, what needs to be done exactly I believe. It is said he would merge his specialization aka "Benjamin Batton" with his nen beast. Implying that Benjamin's body will die and he will merge his "soul" with his nen beast that looks like a xenomorph. As it is said on chapter 410, he will make his child the new king of Kakin. Benjamin's body will die but his soul will merge with the xenomorph as a "a deity" aka his nen beast.
If understood well, this is quite exciting news
The one giving the order to poison Benjamin was his mother Unma.
The curse of the children of Beyond is also part of this scheme made by Furykov.
He is basically a triple-agent, working for Beyond or at least using his curse, working for Unma by being ordered by her to poison Benjamin and working for Benjamin.
Still have some unclear points. For instance how does "reflecting the curse back" is supposed to work ?
If Benjamin successfully merges with his nen beast. We will get a serious contender who might become as strong as Meruem. Just my idea but this is thrilling. Finally someone with powerful nen capacities since the chimera-ants arc so that we can cut the bullshit with the nen lessons of Kurapika.
My bad, what I meant was whether the ability of Benjamin’s nen beast has been revealed. It seems to be hinted at between the lines because, despite the poison, there is a belief that he can still rule kakin thanks to his nen beast
Also, after a reread, it looks like three of Beyond’s children have now been revealed: Furykov, Sarkov (the guard of Tserri who mentioned he could use zetsu since birth) and Longhi (the woman in Kurapika’s nen classroom).
I always considered this Succession War a side quest before the dark Continent, but it will most likely turn out even better than the chimera Ant arc (for those who can actually keep track of it). I am now genuinely invested in who will become king.
Just some of the many subplots running simultaneously in this arc:
It's very likely we might never even reach the fake Dark continent

Just some of the many subplots running simultaneously in this arc:
- The Succession war itself. (3 dead out of 14)
- The Spiders vs Hisoka.
- The Cha R family vs The Spiders, as they have mentioned on multiple occasions that the troupe is becoming a major nuisance.
- Chrollo vs Hisoka Round 2, but before that, Chrollo mentions needing to steal a kakin national treasure to upgrade Skill hunter and secure a way to kill Hisoka for good.
- Kurapika’s realization that the spiders is on board (man, I don't think he's making it off this ship alive
). - Kurapika vs Tserri(Two nen beasts, plus his parallel future, which is basically an improved izanagi without the loss of an eye and the ability to see 10 seconds in the future)
- The Heil ly family plot
- Heil ly members reaching level 50 and above, with some preparing to take revenge against Hinrigh (the guy who turns weapons and tools into living animals).
- They also finally found a specialist, who apparently used to be friend with tserri. Curious to see the ability she will receive
- Xi yu vs Spiders(Hinrigh is now aware that one of their member, lynch, was killed by the copy of hisoka who was in fact bolonelov)
- Heil ly vs Feitan, Phinks, and Nobunaga (with nobunaga actually starting to develop a strange respect for them).
- Then we don't know whether Illumi, Beyond, pariston, Ging and the Zodiacs will actually remain on the sidelines this entire time.
