Chapter 217: Perhaps I can even borrow Its power? For eternity (End)
...........
The seasons passed in the blink of an eye, welcoming the arrival of a new year and more years.
The years were fleeting like lightning, but something never changed.
And so, twenty years have passed, and those years were special as they introduced the coming of a new era.
They welcomed an era where humans flourished and took back what was once theirs.
They reproduced like ants and spread throughout the world as if it's their playground, granted their playground has some pretty deadly creatures but did that stop them? No.
They were greedy and curious about this unknown continent, and they already prepared for what's to come.
They were ready to take over and harvest the treasures and resources lying all over the place.
They were casualties, that's for certain, But that will never stop them. They were hellbent on getting what their desires dictate they get.
Of course, the dark continent is still too much of a challenge for humanity, and if they act with hast, all they will face is utter despair and death.
At least, they constructed a few nests from which they can expand.
To fully take over the entire dark continent? That'll take them thousands of years, at least.
However, there is a specific force of human beings who are thousands of steps ahead of their kind, a force called the silver snake.
They only have three bases in the dark continent, but each is so massive and vast that the forces of all of the other humans combined aren't even comparable in the slightest.
That especially applies to the bases they constructed within the world tree forest, named as such due to its close proximity to the world tree.
The forest was extremely strange with very few creatures within but more than enough to sustain their constant need for food.
The forest seemed to be deserted for ages which are quite obvious by the massive accumulation of resources.
The power of the silver snake continued to increase, reaching some miraculous heights largely due to the force's leader, Morena Zoldyck.
She has an interesting ability which allowed her to have more abilities, and by using them, she was able to continuously elevate the force's power to unimaginable heights.
However, only one person truly knows how far humanity has gone, if he could even be considered human at this point.
But even if we exclude him, there is someone else who reached some miraculous level of power, Don Freecss.
He reached such a level that even the destruction of a normal planet is within his capabilities, albeit it would take a long long time.
The only other person to surpass him just opened his eyes from a long slumber, Yasuo Zoldyck.
It has been twenty years yet he still remains in his chill and meditative state with little to no activity outside of his current location.
He still remained calm and collected, continuing to expand upon his powers, still hovering above the world tree in the middle of the high sky's ethereal beauty, the only thing more enchanting than it is him as his tranquility brought a new exquisiteness to the area.
He was like an immortal to whom millions of years pass in the blink of an eye, ethereal and eternal.
The only times he leaves this place are to spend time with his wife and sister or to get new bloodlines.
However, nineteen years ago, he assimilated all of the bloodlines on the planet except for one last bloodline.
The ability to travel and think at the speed of light made everything much easier and allowed him to dig every part of this colossal planet and get every bloodline, useless or not.
After that, he started spending all of his time on the top of the world tree and even created a portal gate there, all he has to do is pass through it and he will reach his family and the same could be said for them.
Sure he can reach them in the blink of an eye without even using any of his teleportation abilities but they can't.
And at one point in time, Morena and Alluka even moved to his place which is basically a palace he constructed above the world tree.
A floating palace with its foundation being his massive miraculous octagonal lab.
He still preferred to train just a few meters above the treetop. His devouring reached such a level that he can resist the devouring ability of the world tree but he still finds floating in the air more comfortable.
Though no matter how much he pushes his devouring ability, he still sees a large unpassable river between it and Epithymías's devouring ability.
So while he can touch the world tree without any consequences, he's still unable to touch Epithymías, and that says a lot considering the monster he is right now.
His eyes opened, releasing a blinding radiance upon the world, a crimson radiance due to his deep red eyes that only got deeper the stronger he became.
He started stretching for a bit in the air, remaining still for decades at a time can do that to a person.
Only two decades passed but for him, more than a century has passed, he never stopped using his time domain to continuously accelerate time in a bubble around him.
That allowed him to reach a state where he can easily achieve what he wants in the latest phase of his plans, far surpassing his expectations and making everything rather simple.
After that, he took a deep breath, inhaling oxygen he no longer needs then he exhaled, releasing a sigh of satisfaction already seeing the future without even the use of his Vision eye.
A small peaceful smile surfaced on his pale face, enough to show the happiness he's feeling at the moment.
He couldn't help but wonder in his mind, 'Just how was I able to make something as gaining such unimaginable amount of power so simple? And my power will only get more broken from now on... With minimum effort.'
He closed his eyes letting his domain stretch to its limit, reaching hundreds of miles in radius.
His input capacity and processing power reach such a level to allow for such a thing to be possible, and even with his insane domain range, the consumption from it remains minuscule.
Then he disappeared and appeared millions of miles away a split second later.
He manifested in a barren land, a sinister vibe dominating the place and dearly seeking to be released upon the world.
However, a faint golden light seemed to overshadow the place, sealing it and not allowing the darkness to spread.
The faint golden light seemed to be a barrier not allowing what's inside to leave, however, it seems to be on the brink of collapse.
The barrier however was no opponent for Yasuo as he simply appeared within and the golden light didn't react at all as if he doesn't exist.
After all, the golden barrier isn't so simple as to be defeated by simple space abilities, but nothing is simple about Yasuo so he didn't really need to prepare anything to pass through it.
The golden barrier was shaped like a cylinder and it seemed to do what it was supposed to, stopping the corruption from reaching the outside world.
Everything within is bleak with a sense of death and desolation but everything outside is rich with life and energy.
Within the cylinder is an inky hand spurting from the earth, seemingly trying to escape seeking freedom.
However, there is another golden cylinder surrounding it, much smaller than the other one and tightly squeezing the pitch0black hand inside.
Some kind of inky matter seems to be continuously oozing out from it and spreading throughout the small cylinder, seemingly millions of minute ink snakes.
Furthermore, Yasuo sensed numerous other golden cylinders, one inside the other, similar to Matryoshka dolls, a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another.
Most are beneath the earth and each has a different inky body part, horrendously disgusting massive body parts, each cylinder sealing one inside.
In the dar center of the cylinders, in the smallest cylinder sat a human being or at least the remnants of a human being.
Even after his death, his body still stood the test of time. He seems to have been dead for thousands of years yet there is still flesh on the body where there should only be bones, corroded bones.
He was sitting in a meditative position for ages, seemingly not interested in the world knowing of his heroic deeds, of how he saved the world.
And Yasuo wasn't interested in letting the world know of the man's sacrifice.
And This isn't the first Yasuo visited the place, he did come here to get Don Freecss's bloodline as well as the dark creature's bloodline.
The dark creature's bloodline was simply no match for Yasuo even though if place within the bloodstream of any other person, that person would simply be consumed and become but a dead moving person, the same as the ones in the underground town.
Yasuo lifted his hand from which a small light ball manifested, the embodiment of fortune and misfortune.
He released it directly within the central point of the whole cylinder formation.
Then he reappeared a few miles away from the area. The white sphere was tens of times stronger than his last one as he continued to compress and feed that white sphere until it became what it is today.
A bright light shone upon the world, instantly spreading throughout miles around the area only to disappear a split second later.
It vanished as far as it appeared not allowing anyone to notice its existence, and its effect was instantaneous and precise.
It did exactly what Yasuo wanted it to do, simply erasing everything within the area and erasing everything relative to them at this point in time.
Because at that point in time, that same light appeared within the underground town and the crimson land, erasing them completely.
Yasuo then appeared in the vastness of space, looking down on the colossal planet with his eyes gleaming, unable to hide his anticipation.
Then several things started appearing in miles around him, everything he prepared for this day solely.
Numerous destructive weapons and planet annihilating poisons and solutions, nuclear weapons were numerous among them.
They were even more dangerous weapons that if released upon the world would represent its demises.
This is the result of all of his research for the last phase solely, so many unimaginable deadly things that brought chill upon every creature in the world.
At that point in time, everyone and everything looked at the dark sky, some opened their windows and looked outside and some creatures left their nests curious about what made them feel that way.
They felt that chill for a split second and felt the incoming death for the few seconds to come as if their entire existence is solely dependant upon the thoughts of something else.
And perhaps, that thing is contemplating whether to erase the world or not, an illusionary feeling even the ones slumbering felt.
However, they saw nothing in the sky but they know what they felt and what they feel is real because everyone around them seemed to have felt the same.
And as time went on, that sense of crisis only continued to elevate forcing everything to hold their breath and hide back in their nests.
The point in time they felt chills is the moment Yasuo activated a special ability of his for the second time, his debt collector ability.
That ability happened to have an even more special side, he can mostly collect debts only from the willing, the ones that had accepted his whispers.
But once a month, he can forcefully get a debt from anything depending on how much power he has upon that thing.
The amount of power he can borrow depends on how much power he has over the target's life and his target now is the world itself, the core of the world, Epithymías.
He has been spreading his little pets called Zobae organisms throughout the creature for years and now, nearly all of the creature is painted in his purple color.
Once he activates those organisms, once they wake up from their slumber, they will start to dearly consume Epithymías whole, leaving a dead dry body with little to no energy.
The weapons around him will then be used to erase the whole body with the world being destroyed with it.
Just to make sure, Yasuo prepared few other things. A white sphere suddenly appeared before him, the embodiment of fortune and misfortune.
This one however was different from the other one, a diameter of twenty meters, on a completely different level from the other one, akin to the difference between heaven and earth.
He had put a lot more effort into creating this one, the amount of energy compressed within the white sphere seems to be able to erase the world whole but Epithymías is a special case.
Numerous other spheres appeared all around him, all representing different embodiments of his, all with different colors and functionality but all able to erase worlds.
If the unimaginable amounts of energy Epithymías have remained within then Yasuo knows he can't have as much power over it as he wants and he will barely be able to borrow 10% of its power.
That's why the Zobae organisms are needed, they will devour that curtain, the shield of Epithymías whole, leaving it defenseless.
Yasuo closed his crimson eyes and activated his ability... Time froze for a moment then returned to its normal flow only to freeze again.
This time, not only did the world freeze but the whole solar system seemed to freeze as Yasuo went further and collected every debt he has ever collected, including Epithymías's.
A waterfall the size of the universe gushed out through Yasuo's soul and body as Epithymías's unimaginable power rushed through him, 80% of its power in fact.
The unimaginable amount of power seems to be able to burst through planets as even the strongest and most miraculous of materials won't be able to hold it.
The blackest of blackholes will be distorted and crushed under that indescribable power yet his body was able to hold it tightly inside, seemingly holding an improbable hungry abyss within.
However, isn't that kind of useless? No matter how much power one has if it can only last for ten seconds, then what's its use?
Granted for the current Yasuo, ten seconds can be considered an eternity for the sheer amount of pressure he's applying on the whole world, and time itself forces the latter to move like a snail where it moves normally for everyone else.
That however doesn't matter to Yasuo as a satisfied smile surfaced on his face and uttered those chilling words, "Reality domain."
Then instantly, his new massive domain which has a range of several solar systems all around started to compress upon itself until it only enveloped him solely.
Then he simply became to control reality around him and changing it with the only limit being his Aura pool which is insane, to say the least, and his input capacity.
"Just how simple can the steps to omnipotence be? Just changing the rule of my ability, changing those ten seconds limit to eternity and I will never lose the power I just gained."
Yasuo was thoroughly amused by how easily he achieved his current state, his domain can now sense reality and he naturally can control it.
So all he did is changing the rules so that he can have this power forever, his goal was achieved so simply and comfortably.
That was however only the beginning as he closed his eyes and started comprehending and getting used to his current state.
Yet he only closed his eyes for a minute before he was done, he trained for years in a future that didn't happen, his vision eye is truly broken.
The rest of the minute he used to get used to the astonishing amount of information he's receiving through his domain as he spread it enveloping the whole solar system.
And he continued to do so until it reached its maximum range, his evolved inhuman brain allowed for that to be possible.
In the next moment, a small jelly matter appeared before Yasuo, quietly floating within reach, Epithymías's bloodline if it can even be considered blood.
He then devoured it, forcing his genes to work even harder than they already are, after all, even though he can handle the new increase in strength, it still feels a bit uncomfortable.
So he again compressed his domain around him and accelerated time to an astonishing degree, seeking to fully complete his new evolution before stopping his time domain.
An hour passed but hundreds of years have passed within his cocoon, that's how much it took for the evolution to finish.
There was no apparent change in Yasuo but only he knows how much he has changed from the inside.
He sensed the almost dry body of Epithymías with his domain and he appeared in the core of the planet in the next moment.
He lifted his hand and touched the Epithymías's dry body and only a second passed before it turned to dust as Yasuo devoured its remaining power.
Then he closed his eyes and looked back into the past, into the formation of the very solar system he's in, and into the death of Epithymías, searching for the answers to all of his questions and doubts.
He opened his eyes a second later with amusement and expectations apparent in them, "Fate huh, that sounds too interesting, something that will take a long time to research."
"I'm looking forward to it... Perhaps I can even borrow Its power? For eternity." Yasuo calmly remarked as numerous things to research are already running through his mind... Research huh.
