Chapter 159: An Unrivaled Influence

..........

"You seem so different, you even look and feel so different, so peaceful and warm." Remarked Morena who is lazily clinging to Yasuo, the latter could be seen lying on the large red bed relaxing with Morena's head resting on his chest.

Morena noticed his changes previously in the shower but she was too stunned to pay that much attention to them and only made this remark after a long night of satisfaction, after having some time to think clearly.

She paid close attention to his silver exquisite eyes that seem to be shining and the feeling of his glossy skin that seem to be soft but unmovable like iron, it seems like some kind of pale diamond that slightly shine, his black hair from first observation didn't seem to change but just like his skin, it also changed slightly becoming much smoother and stronger.

What changed the most however is the air around him, he already had a peaceful tranquil air surrounding him but now it became even more apparent to the point she feels like she doesn't want to leave his side even for a second, like she wants to spend the rest of her life with her hand always holding his.

Of course, that's mostly due to her already having feelings for him and due to her obsession with him, however, his tranquil aura's effect strengthened quite a lot and his manipulation of people around him got significantly enhanced meaning people will have a hard time putting their guard up against him.

"My experiment was a huge success and this is the result." Yasuo's answer was quite simple and Morena didn't pry any further. They talked for a bit more with Yasuo inquiring about everything that happened in his absence.

The island was completely taken over by the countless underlings of the silver snake family as well as the preparation Yasuo made before and its something they were preparing on for a while so it was actually quite easy, after all, the 'Chimera Ants' killed everyone that has any influence within the Mitene Union in what could only be assumed to be a barbaric nature in those Ants.

That made it extremely easy for the family to take the Island especially considering most of the citizens of the nations within were sent to other countries around the world as emigrants due to the constant massacres on the Island.

And strangely, there was little to no political opposition to the Silver snake's operation, in fact, there was massive support with the media around the world spreading the news that the Island is currently uninhabitable and will continue to be that way for a while due to some dangerous deadly poisons spread through it.

Not that convincing of a story but when deformed bodies of people who tried to go to the Island were found 'accidentally and after some research, it was found that those people indeed died by poisoning and thankfully that poison doesn't spread through the air but is everywhere in the island due to some kind of poisonous plants or creatures.

This is where the silver snake family came in, a family known not only by its underworld activity but also by its various legitimate businesses that stand atop the world.

The family took it upon themselves to research the Island and find a solution to the deadly danger at a cost of course, a cost they discussed with the major powers of the world and it was agreed upon, they will take ownership of the Island after that.

That of course received a massive amount of backlash from the public as people were actually living there and owned land there but after some time when the news started circulating that the family has been having massive amounts of casualties in the middle of exploring the Island to the point the family was on the verge of giving up on the Island.

But the major powers of the world provided even more benefits and only then did the family continue their work albeit as the media reported, they were coerced to leading people to only estimate just how dangerous that Island became especially considering no one has ever come back alive since the poison spread, of course, these are all news from the media.

Very few actually know that the Island is already under the snake's complete control and people didn't have much time to pay attention to it as the news of the dark continent spread throughout the world.

The Kakin empire announced that there will be an expedition to the dark continent under their complete funding and resealed some general information about the continent and the benefits of going there attracting people to participate.

Of course, it worked, in fact, the first ship that the Kakin empire started building won't have a room big enough for everyone who wants to participate even with its massive size but that's not unexpected as they planned for several expeditions to happen over the years to come.

Yasuo spent the next 24 hours overseeing the family's activity making sure everything is alright. At this point, an organization is a more fitting word but Morena didn't change that for a simple reason, the word family makes people believe as if they belong, as if they have a home to always go back to and that makes them easier to manipulate.

And only then did he started heading towards the Kaki empire with Morena while not forgetting to do something quite important as he planned to do something specific in the empire. He brought a small test tube from his lab he saved a long time ago in the freezer.

A test tube with a red liquid inside, blood that looks extremely fresh but is actually years old but he maintained it carefully due to its importance. It's too important for an experiment of his.

The red liquid is of course blood taken from someone the silver snake family faced previously, the boss of the Cha-R family, Brocco Li who was announced dead several years ago when the silver snake family was still called the Heil-Ly family.

His blood was taken after the family's underlings killed him as per Morena's instruction who was also instructed by Yasuo to do so in case he wasn't present in the incident.

That's pf course strange as Brocco isn't special in any way to garner Yasuo's attention to this extent and Yasuo isn't really interested in him at all, what he's interested in is the man's blood who happened to be the King Natsubi's half brother and that matters a lot to Yasuo as he even took a similar amount of Morena's blood.

As for his purpose? Well, he drank them all in a single gulp without any change in his expression, he's making use of his new genetic structure to do something that's not supposed to happen.

You see, years ago Yasuo targeted the Kakin empire's most precious treasure the seed urn but wasn't able to get what he wanted due to a few restrictions on the urn but now he can see a chance as The Seed Urn Ceremony is near.

The Seed Urn Ceremony is part of the Kakin Royal Family tradition. To prove one's inheritance to the urn, the host focuses their desire for the crown and offers a drop of their blood to the urn, then puts their hand in its mouth-like opening.

At this point, a purple smoke fumes from the urn with a tiny female sprite dressed in Kakin traditional clothing holding a small egg, which she inserts into the host's mouth. The princes will thus be granted a Guardian Spirit Beast when the egg hatches.

After receiving the egg, trying to escape the Succession War will result in the fugitive's death by countless ghostly hands that appear around the person enforcing the ceremony's conditions.

And Yasuo wants to see if he can get a guardian beast of his own, of course, he can't as only Natsubi's children of his blood are able to do so. He would have wanted to study the urn even if he doesn't have a solution but he does have one, a brilliant solution that stands upon his genes.

A few seconds after drinking their blood is all it took for his new genes to start doing what they were created to do, evolving based on the genes they come in contact with and the fact they're still evolving and stabilizing from the purple liquid he drank before didn't stop them from having another side project.

He flew through several portals while holding Morena's waist until they reached the empire. In the meantime, Yasuo was trying something interesting, an experiment only he can see which is due to the dark purple crow on his shoulder that seems to be blinking repeatedly, he was trying to see if he can accurately control his desires at a particular moment of time...

It's late June of 2001 which means the Seed urn ceremony is only a few days away which as Yasuo judged is enough time for his genes to adapt to the blood of the Kakin empire's royal family.

He still decided to make it faster and more stable by taking few drops of blood from Natsubi's direct descendants and it was quite simple to do so, they just have to be within his domain and he can use his space control to manipulate a few drops of blood to teleport to him...
