Chapter 150: The Poison Is Spreading

.......

Something strange about the known world is that it survived in the middle of a lake in the middle of the dark continent, how?

That simply can't be a coincidence in Yasuo's mind, there is a sequence of events that happened across history that allowed Yasuo to come to a simple and logical conclusion about why the possibility of life here exists...

Every time there is an expedition to the dark continent and they face a calamity, there is a resulting consequence of that action which affects the known world and that happened every time.

The resulting consequences have the potential to exterminate humanity entirely.

The only variable to this day that goes against this sequence of events is the most recent one, the Chimera Ants, a type of magical beasts that were most likely from the dark continent.

But who's to say someone secretly went to the dark continent and had some kind of responsibility in this or someone is already in the dark continent and caused this perhaps directly or indirectly.

And perhaps like one of his theories states, the gatekeeper is responsible for most of the calamities having the ability to affect the known world simply because they allowed them to.

So the gatekeeper is a vital piece of this mystery as to transport humans to the dark continent perhaps requires a price, a price we have to pay.

Yasuo planned on taking over the entire Island a while ago as a base of operation when he's in the dark continent.

A place where the silver snake family can remain safe without the dangers of the dark lands but have a gateway to that lands.

They'll be the manpower that'll continuously poison the dark continent without suffering many casualties.

He knows he can do a lot alone, possibly what thousands of Nen users can do in the same time span but what hundreds of thousands of people with those thousands of Nen users can achieve a lot especially considering just how massive the dark continent is.

He wants to explore and enjoy his journey along the way but he also wants results and that's why the silver snake family is necessary.

The biggest mafia family in the world, in fact, its the only mafia family left in the world as it took over the whole underworld not leaving any possible competition.

At this point, it couldn't even be called a mafia family, it's a force rivaling some of the strongest countries in the known world and they know that.

The world knows the family's strength and hidden strength, or at least they think they know.

Yasuo and Morena allowed for such a thing to happen, Yasuo with some of the results of his research creating weapons strong enough to be taken seriously by Nen users as well as poisons deadly enough to kill most Nen users.

Though he only provided lower quality ones for them but lower quality for him could be considered one of the strongest known poisons to ever be discovered in the known world and the same could be said for every other thing he provided.

However, Yasuo didn't really help as much as Morena, he has research to do so he spends most of his time in his lab and when he feels like he needs to help the family, he does so without anyone knowing, well except Morena.

She is the true leader of the silver snake family, Yasuo just has no interest in ruling the family, that's not where his line of interest lies.

However, Morena found her hobby and it happened to be quite simple, just ruling the family perfectly and taking it to greater heights under her precise manipulation and poisonous mind that knows how to manipulate people brings her joy.

She found that quite interesting and enjoyed it so she put quite of her time and mind into the job and the results were perfect.

Her hobby happened to be quite suitable for her so she was able to turn the family into what it is today.

Not just that, her bizarre ability allowed her to create a force like none other, she was able to turn normal family members into strong Nen users in a matter of days.

Of course, at the cost of a few years of their life and she only turned the ones she thinks are a bit trustworthy or as she likes to call them, worshipers.

You see, once a set of circumstances are provided, the manipulator was able to turn people into what she desires, true loyal members that worship even her shadow.

She is the light of their day as well as the darkness of the night, people that will gladly give their life for her.

Something she valued because if they create an ability she deems more useful in her hand, she simply takes it which will only happen by infected person's death and most of them gladly take the offer.

Else, she takes it anyway, at this point she's just that strong, she has been using her ability without stop always infecting 7 victims which the limit every month which allows her to either absorb a portion of their Aura or an ability of theirs.

Albeit, gaining an ability is actually too hard, the possibilities are just that low but even with that, her current arsenal of abilities surpass Yasuos in numbers but of course, nowhere near his in power and applications.

However, her Aura pool actually surpassed Yasuos although not by much but she was able to do so nonetheless which is the result of her ability to absorb others' Aura while Yasuo is facing a barrier, a limiter that doesn't allow his Aura pool to become any larger.

All because Yasuo doesn't have a similar ability that could be useful but he never tried to create such an ability, in fact, he never thought about it because he knows he doesn't need to nor will he need to and his rise to true greatness is near.

Yasuo focused more on how to combine abilities with each other to make the impossible possible.

To allow the abilities to achieve much more than they were supposed to by combining their functions together and make up for the weaknesses of his abilities, this Is how he pushed his abilities to such a level.

So while an ability to steal others' abilities sounds tempting, in his eye, it's basically useless.

He can already mimic some abilities easily without any consequences or any corresponding limitations and too many useless abilities will just be an annoyance, he happened to be quite picky about what ability he will mimic.

As for absorbing others' Aura, well, he has a much better alternative that he has been working on for years, evolution is his goal and that'll allow him to continuously become stronger limitlessly and that day is near.

Yasuo remained static in the air for a while finishing a few things across the Island before he teleported away appearing in his silvery elegant mansion.

the mansion he just made previously though he already decorated it with the furniture he prepared before.

With a small smile still decorating his pale face, he made his way to the large shower room, and well, he took a long hot shower relaxing his nerves then wore some casual clothes and just doze off for about twenty minutes on a comfy couch.

Until he created a portal in front of him and only a few seconds passed before a white-haired kid appeared walking from it, Killua who was waiting for this for quite a while.

Previously Yasuo appeared in front of him as he carried Gon's deformed and cursed body wanting to go to the nearest place that can provide medical emergency desperate to seek any help that can save his friend who sacrificed everything he had.

And Killua's eyes couldn't help but gleam in a bright light knowing Yasuo can just create a portal to somewhere safe and where he can get help, however, he didn't forget to ask something he dearly wanted to ask, "Can I meet her?" Was his question.

And Yasuo knew exactly what he meant, Killua took Illumi's needle out getting rid of his hypnotism as well as recovering his buried memories, remembering Alluka, the closest person to him in his strange family.

Yasuo didn't mind Killua meeting Alluka, in fact, her playing with someone close to her age is a good thing so his response was.

"I have a few things to do right now and you are busy as well so let's leave it to later, in less than 24 hours a portal will appear in front of you, just walk through it."

And so we have the current situation of Killua who dearly wants to meet Alluka and he already knows she's with Yasuo most of the time or at least, when he was young, he remembers her always with Yasuo in his small house.

Killua didn't get to say anything as Yasuo started talking directly after that, "Ok, let's get some things out of the way, You asked me that question previously means you took Illumi's needle out, I only knew about it not long ago as I'm not interested in the family business and I didn't intervene when I knew for that same reason.

Now, I'll take you to Alluka back home or I'll bring her here and you can stay with her as long as you like as I'll be busy for the next few months so travel around with her or do whatever you like... So do you want to go home or want me to get her here?"
