Chapter 196: Unveiling The Mysteries IV

..........

Fate seemed to be on humankind's side or at least, a greater power making any danger obsolete was on their side as the exploration of the dark continent continued.

Everything was mostly working in their favor. Humans were prepared more than ever for what lies in the dark.

Especially for a specific group of people who took the dark continent as their playground, akin to a fish swimming thoroughly the water smoothly unhinged.

More and more expeditions were launched and more humans arrived in the dark continent, most remained in the new continent thinking it's the real deal but the capable ones knew better.

Yet, no matter how many arrives, it could never compare to that specific group of people who seem to expand rapidly.

Not just in members but also in territory size, a family of monstrous existences called the Silver Snake.

New members were constantly being recruited in the known world and older more useful members were arriving at the dark continent in the time it takes for an eye to blink, seemingly capable of ignoring the fabric of space.

A massive platform in the middle of what could be said to be a prosperous city is what made that possible. A platform on which a structure stands.

The structure that can distort the fabric of space allowing the small snakes to go from one end and appear on the other.

Two platforms in extremely far distances have that special connection and Yasuo was carrying a structure extremely similar to it, in his relatively small hand.

Something only possible because even though the structure is identical to the others, what differentiates them is its size.

The tool in his hand is small enough to be easily held in his hand, just a radius of 10 centimeters akin to an exquisite bracelet engraved with the most beautiful inscriptions one can ever hope to see.

Such a tool could even be said to be a divine weapon yet he gave it a simple name in contrast to the massive portals in the city and the Island which family members call the great portal.

He instead named his great creation portable storage not giving anyone any need to imagine its functions for its clear to all.

A bracelet-like tool which in reality is nothing but a portal connect to another portal of similar size which he places inside his lab back on the Island.

He placed the other portal within a specific room in his lab just for storage and all he has to do is activate the portal in his hand and throw whatever he wants within.

Any object thrown within will naturally appear from the other portal in his lab in the storage room, and that includes him as long as he can see through the portal.

If his Aeroeye thread went through the portal then he can naturally teleport from one side of the world to the other in his lab.

And that's similarly how he can store massive items or creatures that wouldn't normally go through the small two ways portal.

After storing something, Yasuo closed the portal and our the teleportation item back in his backpack, and continued on with his ongoing exploration of the continent.

An exploration which has been going for nearly a year now and he covered a significant portion of the dark continent while collecting whatever he desires and what picked his interest.

Though he spent most of his time just researching and assimilating what he already found, something he needed to do.

As they say. getting too much of anything is not necessarily a good thing, it could even be a bad thing as even drinking too much water could lead to death.

So what's to say assimilating too many bloodlines at the same time wouldn't have undesired consequences? So Yasuo took his time researching many things.

Most importantly, he finished turning his lab from a simple indestructible lab to an actual monstrous spaceship. The unmanned rocks he found were extremely helpful in that regard.

He studied the ship personally built by Don Freecss and improved on his findings while also seeking out more of the unmanned rocks and it wasn't hard to get a few more.

He also improved on his spaceship's design more as it was a bit too bland but he left its disk-like shape and the silvery color.

He still left it on the Island and barely used it aside from a few tries and it couldn't really be said to be a spaceship.

While its speed is extremely fast and unrivaled even, in the vastness of space, that speed is insignificant, akin to a slug trying to climb the mature world tree.

So he didn't really have time to thoroughly explore the continent and he left several important locations untouched, time he has plenty of.

The circumstances seem to beg to explore those unknown and fascinating locations as the purple circle on his palm started shining brightly.

Orilin's ability which is basically a mobile phone though much more advance allowing the holders of the mark to communicate ignoring the limitation of space or common sense.

Yasuo knew who the caller is instinctively as he answered hearing Morena's amused voice, "That old annoying lady seems to be looking for trouble and she seems to be quite capable too."

Yasuo raised his bows noticing the mischievous tone of hers, "The poison you left there has just taken effect, it took way too long. Well, those people aren't so simple."

"It seems that their resistance to poison is extremely high but all of them are finally dead leaving only the old lady who doesn't seem to be affected at all, she does seem to be furious though." Affirmed Morena.

She continued in an even more mischievous tone before the purple glow faded from his palm, "You won't believe what she can do, a beautiful spectacle I didn't expect at all but I'm sure you'll take care of it."

Yasuo lightly shook his head in amusement at her mischievousness but he also knows why she needed him to solve the problem.

He instructed her a while ago to keep an eye on that tribe and let him know if anything happens. Most importantly, their destructive abilities.

The old lady is extremely dangerous even to Morena. Her tribe's abilities are all the same but she stands atop of them all.

.It even could be said that provided the necessary circumstances, her power will truly stand at the top of the world rivaled by none and could potentially even surpass the King.

The forbidden power she has and gained through treachery and greed is what allowed the spectacle before Yasuo to occur.

The scene of a raging volcano which can clearly be seen from the silver snake city. The raging red that seeks to melt the world, seemingly being its fangs on the silver city.

The massive peak in which a volcano was hibernating was awakened and showed its fury. The rising fire in the dark sky brightened the whole world.

That raging fire flowing through the sky like a raging river. That fire seems to strangely have some resemblance to a human-like face.

A furious face looking down on the city with a clear hint of madness within and at the peak of the volcano stands the old lady, naked undisturbed by the bone-melting temperature around her.

Her face was the same as the face of the raging fire above her and around her. The fire that burned her clothes but couldn't burn her.

Her body looked extremely frail yet no amount of heat seems to affect her but that wasn't always the case.

The obvious large burn mark on her back was proof of that. Her whole back seems to have been burned yet the passage of time left nothing but a scar, one that always reminds her of her dark past.

If she wasn't already insane then she has truly gone crazy now. Waking up only to find her tribe completely still, seemingly like an abandoned wasteland.

The bodies of her people lying on the ground and within the comfort of their home, seemingly unaware of how they died or that they died.

The invisible and undetectable poison has been spreading through the surroundings for a long time. Her people were poisoned for months but never knew or noticed any abnormalities within themselves.

The poisoned however was accumulating waiting for the day the permission to activate gets given and only then will it harvest the lives in which it lives.

Morena's poison ability has reached such a height in meticulous control and versatility it became one of the most wondrous abilities ever to be seen, way too dangerous than what it was supposed to.

Yet it didn't affect the old lady at all when it affected her people who have the same ability as her, albeit at different levels.

She can manipulate even the sun if she's in close proximity to it, well, only a small part of the sun, the part closest to her like the colossal volcano currently under her control.

The old lady was ready to unleash her insanity upon the world, her rage upon the silver angelic city. Her only regret was not doing this sooner.

She was planning to, she was aiming at converging all of that manpower to the lord of light and fire and allow them to see what she sees, worship the lord of all.

Yet she wasn't the only one scheming, the prosperous city seem to have her in its sight as well, the wretched humans dared to go after her people and... They succeeded under her watch.

Her rage only intensified once the human she had met before appeared before her. His expression was that of interest and curiosity driving her ever more madder.
