Chapter 97: The Passage Of Time
.......
No matter how much one tries, there seems to be something deeper at play, something beyond the fabric of space, beyond the fabric of time.
Something hidden deep inside between the lines that seem to want to spread its clutches everywhere yet its influence seems limited as if there is an opposite force serving as its nemesis or trying to anyway.
The force's traces could be noticed everywhere faintly influencing everything it can and changing the fabric of reality to balance things out but even it seems to have a limit on someone... something... and someplace.
That force is called fate and it might not just be an illusionary concept in such a world. Perhaps, there is more to it than meets the eye
And so the gears of time moved as the mechanical sound reverberated through the universe as seasons passed.
The strange planet revolved around the insanely large sun, much larger than the already large planet but far enough to only receive enough light and energy to keep life going, to provide the needed warmth to keep most of the frail life on it alive.
The planet revolved around the sun at a speed so fast it created the known climate change and with the fact that the planet revolves around itself, the concept of the night and day as well, a perfect rotation of the two allowing life to exist and the sun to shine on a specific lake for that certain amount of time.
Seasons passed as climate change and so did the world with it, buildings fell only for new ones to stand in their place and families fell only for a new one to take their place.
Mafia families to be specific, a virus that expanded whenever a new host seems available even if the family had to make it as so through any means necessary.
A force to be reckoned through the world, a mafia family so big and strong that there was never any contender throughout the known human history.
The Silver-snake family, known before as the Heil-Ly family, a virus that traveled oceans looking for new hosts becoming stronger once it took over that said host, a force to be feared.
It's rumored that once the mafia families noticed the virus' unending greed for more hosts.
They decided to ally for the simple goal of stopping what they consider to be a disease that would one day threaten their existence yet even that didn't matter as their territory was taken over regardless and their resistance did little to stop that as two of them disappeared from the face of the planet.
The leader of the said family or as they call her, the manipulator due to her natural ability to see the darkness within people's hearts, to see what she considers as their deepest disgusting desires, and use it against them to get what she wants.
Her ability to use her underlines perfectly for the situation and use their abilities to get what she wants as she oversees the whole family and with her ability to choose the perfect person for the job creating a family that is nigh impossible to tear through from inside out leaving the opponent with one solution... brute force.
And well, that just makes it a losing game as the family's high-ranking members are known to be weirdly strong and especially the most important members of the family.
The underboss Orilin, the vice boss Cashew though there was someone else but his position remained vacant after his disappearance.
This force left the other mafia families with but one choice, to retreat and share one territory joining their forces in a tight space with the united of Saherta being that place considering its home to Yorknew city where the biggest auctions are held.
They hid in their nest waiting with the dream of a miraculous antidote saving them from the disease, from the snake that threatened to devour them alive.
The snake that took most of the world's underworld as its nest and grew stronger and stronger with time being the only barrier to taking the rest of the known world as the snake didn't digest all the food yet but its hunger is infinite so it's only a matter of time.
Yet the silver snake looked harmless lying her head on the dark-haired man's chest, they were lying on a vast green hill with what looked like animals with varying colors all around.
She looked like an angel with her long silky hair flowing all over the place, with the white simple dress that suited her milky skin and pitch-black eyes, the peaceful expression while humming in her steady beautiful voice.
The nine years old Alluka could be seen mounting a pink lion running around the hill having her share of fun leaving the two in the relaxing and quiet atmosphere as even all the animals around the hills made no noise.
The dark-haired man seems to be gently caressing her hair while looking at the sky-high above him or so one may think.
He seemed to be focused on something as if looking at something none can see but he can with his strange eyes... His beautiful right scarlet eye in contrast to the dark abyss that is his left eye.
But what one can see if 'Gyo' is used is the purple bubble floating above them but that's just it, there is nothing else that he should be focusing on but again people's perceptions are different so what he sees isn't what others see.
What he sees is a quantum world, a beautifully designed colorful world of wonders and unknown... A place where the normal physical laws we know don't work.
What he is focusing on is a particular atom, one amongst the many in that mysterious world.
A strange atom even in such a strange world making one wonder whether it's natural or it's his doing.
An atom that disappears from a place only to appear on another instantly ignoring physical space.
Ignoring the space limitation and the strange thing is no portal appearing at all meaning this isn't the doing of that particular ability... it's the result of something more. The result of his Control Domain.
When he created the domain, he created it with the intention that the stronger he becomes the stronger his sense becomes, and with the addition of the amplification domain, that allows him to sense something that shouldn't normally be possible... Space.
And anything he can sense is within his control so he found he can do some interesting things by manipulating space which would've been much harder if not for how his ability work.
When he sees into the quantum level, it also means accepting a massive amount of information since he will see all the numerous things that exist on that level including molecules, microorganisms to the things that make up atoms such as protons, neutrons, and electrons — which are composed of even smaller particles, such as quarks.
This would've created a state of information overload that could possibly kill him if he didn't predict this problem and learned something to counter it.
How to ignore useless or unnecessary information in his domain and this helped him gain the proficiency needed to do something else with his space control.
When his sense reaches their maximum hence sensing space all he sees and feels at that point is dark empty space so that presents the problem of how can he control other things when he wants to manipulate space if he wants to control an object in space, this creates a contradiction he needs to fix and so he did.
By creating an amplification domain small enough to sense space and adjust his senses to the level he wants to control while keeping his sense over space also.
This explains the next scene as a simple leaf started teleporting everywhere in his amplification domain with the same atom still doing the same.
Only after canceling his amplification domain did the control domain made its full appearance with a range almost reaching 600 meters.
That is strange considering he found expanding his domain almost impossible since reaching the 400 meters mark.
This is simply due to his right scarlet eye and all the dark energy produced by the eye all over his body.
He found that when the eye turns scarlet it strengthens his Control Domain significantly, and no just that, it strengthens every specialty ability since he noticed his Future sight strengthening as well.
He attributed that to him being already a specialist so the eye strengthens his specialist abilities instead of turning him into a specialist and he noticed the strengthening effect getting stronger slowly across the years and stopped getting any stronger only a while ago.
Once he trained his space manipulation abilities enough, the scarlet color receded from his right eye with the silvery color returning and asked since he rarely meddles in her family business, "How long before you target the last families?"
Morena answered lazily as if she has no care in the world while on his chest, "I should be able to solve everything in a little bit more than three months then I'll continue."
Yasuo slightly smiled, "Oh, not bad at al...." He sensed something interesting before he finished talking as his eyes turned completely white for a split second then informed before disappearing, "I'll be back in a few minutes."
