Chapter 113: Let's Take A Look At What We Can See

.......

Plentiful of colors... all around us, we see them every day, from the simplest and the most basic being black and white, black as in the unexisting of light, the void of light or simply objects that don't reflect white light and the darkness within.

White light is simply the combination of lights of different wavelengths, the six different colors that paint our world making it more beautiful than it already is, giving that touch of green to nature, and making our world lively filled with such colors bringing the light within us out.

There are other colors or what's called the invisible spectrum, colors we simply can't see with our own naked eyes but we worked our way around it to see such colors, the invisible within us but that's a story for another time.

What Yasuo focused on are the visible colors his eyes can pick as he looked down at what looked like a small Island far beneath him as he floated high in the air.

He looked down on the different shades of colors all around and within... within people's hearts.

The darkness and the light the same both were within his vision and what he saw is that nothing is pure.

For every particular glow, there is another color or colors staining it as he knows no matter how beautiful that looks, that signifies how impure it is.

The purity of one's soul and he has come to find out that from all the souls he observed so far, none of them were pure.

It just depends on how impure they are and that applies to even his soul which glows in a violet light decorated with dark spots all around though some may beg the difference finding stained a better description.

All the colors that fly through the world painting a beautiful picture yet deep inside have more meaning than what anyone can imagine just like Yasuo's color signifies what he really is...

What he really became as he grew just like everyone else who gained more colors as they grew, experiencing life in itself gives people more color, writing the program that signifies what they are, the program that describes their personality.

And his actions describe his personality perfectly as the invisible strings spread through the world shaping it to his liking.

Spread through the large Island beneath him manipulating everything within to his liking, making sure a certain event happens in the future and for that, he needs to watch the whole Island continuously to make sure everything happens the same.

He changed the past and even if that change is small it will lead to much bigger changes down the line.

And it would've if he didn't actively make sure it doesn't as If something doesn't appear to happen as the picture in his mind, he'll change it forcefully or change things prior in the past slightly in order to lead to the desired event.

An Island so vast it hosts several countries within, the Island where a strange life drifted spreading its clutches to a new place... with food... better food than she ever had and so aspirations started to rise in her mind.

Aspirations of creating a nest from which the king will rise to rule all there is to rule and be the king of all.

A king such as never seen before in her kind but to birth such a miracle, she has to get a lot of such food, of that delicious food that has the potential to create what was never ever dreamt of but to create such a miracle she needs ants.

She needs normal ants and then leaders for a group of ants who will lead them to get the food needed.

As the food became richer and richer and more delicious, the ants she births became stronger and in return so is the food as the nest worked to get better food in preparation for the birth of the guards, The royal guards that'll be responsible for protecting the king.

And so, the ant nest became bigger and bigger as their clutches spread looking to engulf the whole Island.

They fed and delivered food waiting for the day of their king's birth, the day the sun shines only to fade soon thereafter.

Yasuo looked down on the Island as the strings moved, something he's been doing for a while.

After all, cautiousness is an important virtue of his and so the days passed with the man teleporting between his home in the Kakin empire and the sky high above the Island.

'He didn't come for me yet huh.' Thought Yasuo while stroking his earring, 'I guess after what Chrollo told him, he investigated me but investigating me is a rabbit hole with no end, he will never ever feel like he knows me enough nor will he feel confident against me.'

'The more one knows about me the scarier I become... And he knows quite a bit just like I allowed him to so he won't come for the scarlet eyes until he feels like he can win.

After all, he won't risk dying to me when he has the spiders as a primary goal. Oh well, it doesn't matter much when or if he will come to me, after some time, he will become unnecessary.'

Yasuo closed his completely blank eyes as if blind, 'If my theory is right then I really won't have a contender in the known world not far from now.

Not that there was but there are abilities that can affect me, abilities that are too dangerous though I don't think that'll be much of a problem later... As soon as I finish the transformation... Something I wouldn't have gone through If I didn't know of the existence of souls.'

Yasuo again opened his eyes that returned to their normal yet strange appearance, he opened the eyes that have just looked at something far away, that just looked at a simple fight that just ended.

A fight between a predator and a human, a special human but still a human nonetheless, and the predator took its time playing with the human gaining interest in playing more but... The human lost his head.

And Yasuo made sure the fight happens... made sure to manipulate everything to lead to that certain moment where a young adventurous soul witnessed that same human lose his hand.

The young soul would've lost his life if not for the other adventurous soul there that helped to take him away leaving the grown human facing the predator.

And so the hunter named Kite, the student of Ging Freecss lost his head meaning his life, but at least he knows he saved the two young hunters' lives, Gon and Killua.

Only once that was done did Yasuo teleport back to his home letting nature takes its course.

The predator named Neferpitou played with its toys for a while enjoying the process until the same point in time where Yasuo teleported... because at that point she lifted her head looking around while narrowing her eyes.

Even with her 'En' Spread several miles around her, she still sensed no one... but she can sense something, she can sense the eyes looking at her yet even when she focused her senses completely, she wasn't able to sense from where.

She couldn't sense the gaze's source but she knew someone or something is watching her.

So she waited until the gaze disappeared before investigating the surroundings yet she found nothing.

She narrowed her eyes even more thinking about the implications of such an incident.

"Someone strong enough that I can't detect from where I'm being observed or... the observer is like this toy... has strange abilities, a dangerous ability and perhaps there are ones that can threaten our future king."

Slowly killing intent started to sip out of her fangs awaiting a potential enemy's arrival.

The potential enemy just appeared from within a portal in the middle of the ocean with a tranquil expression on his face.

He looked back behind him looking at nothing but the sea as far as the eye can see, the blue ocean that went for a vast distance yet he looked as if he can see far beyond.

"She was able to sense my gaze, huh. Well, it doesn't matter much, everything is already set so if the first plan didn't go as planned, I will just go with the other plans and there is a 100% chance one of them will work, what's important is to get the king and there are many ways of doing so."

Gently smiled Yasuo thinking of what's to come.

He already got the king piece but who's to say he is playing on only one chessboard?

He stands high in the sky with the strings moving to his wishes through all the chessboard he can see, manipulating all the pieces he can see, and well, he happened to be able to see quite a lot.

His vision has already engulfed most of the known world and it's working its way to engulf the whole world and much more.

To a certain extent, everything is but a chessboard, So one can only wonder... how many chess matches is he playing? and how many is he manipulating from the shadows? one can only wonder...
