Chapter 213: The Paps

..........

Yasuo can however notice something the father doesn't seem to notice. He can see hints of relief within the child's vague and dark face... At least his father won't hit his mother anymore.

Yasuo's face was unusually calm watching the scene, but even someone like him was slightly affected seeing it for the first time.

He couldn't help but frown, knowing exactly what the father's actions had done. What those actions led to is unbelievable.

A case such as that isn't unheard of, but the coincidence that made completely unheard across the ages and dimension is the strangeness of the child.

Yasuo knew the moment he laid eyes on him that the child is the creator of the town and the origin of its strangeness.

He can smell the same sinister scent he smelled when he was in the crimson expanse in the child, the smell of the dark parasitical snakes.

Yasuo knew there and then that the one responsible for nearly extinguishing humanity is that child or a grown-up version of the child.

All because Yasuo sensed something else in him. He sensed the existence of desire with him, the existence of the bizarre creature named Ai.

The same creature which exists within Alluka, Nanika. There is a difference however, a difference he speculates but is highly likely.

The Ai within the child doesn't have any connection with the jellyfish Epithymías in contrast to Nanika who can use its power, with a few conditions of course.

He came to the conclusion because of one simple reason, only one conduit can exist at a time and currently, that conduit is Nanik.

So the child couldn't have used Epithymías' power to do what he did, yet he did have the astonishing power to do that.

Yasuo's silver eyes couldn't help but shine brightly thinking of that, and thinking that this is the end of his research here until a later date.

Then he disappeared not willing to change anything in the town or erase it. He's still quite cautious of the one who created it.

"Perhaps later when everything is done, I will erase you'll and give you some kind of peace... Even if you'll aren't really humans or living beings."

Those are Yasuo's last words before leaving the lace as he decided to target two of the most interesting calamities, something he postponed for too long.

His next destination was none other than the Paps, mysterious "beasts" that feed on humans and keeps them as pets.

Yasuo shuttled through space until he reached a specific mountain range that looks no different than any other.

This was his first time visiting this special mountain range, the only place which they inhabit.

His domain sensed them instantly, the lords of the mountain yet one of the smallest creatures within.

They are capable of turning even the most ferocious of creatures into mere dolls, humans and beasts alike.

Yasuo first observed them, how they behave and what they can do. He watched them as they tamed the kings of the forest as if they're mere bugs, seemingly capable of taming even the gods to obedient toys.

He watched as they slowly but surely fed upon the remains of their prey or the dolls around them.

The old meat was eaten by them as if it's butter, even hard bones weren't an obstacle against the Paps' small mouths.

Their big eyes were looking all around while eating, seemingly cautious or looking for more prey.

Their strange shape allowed for that to be possible as their eyes aren't directly connected to their bodies.

A long tunnel of flesh was connecting its body with its eyes, a tunnel in which its optic nerve exists, as well as its blood vessels.

Yasuo can also see the most important part of the Paps, their tongue which is extremely thin and long with a strange yellow bulge at its end.

Yasuo slowly lifted his hand once he observed them enough and saw all he needed to see.

On his hand appeared the scariest creature in the dark continent, not because of how it looks but because of its power that can bring unrivaled horror to every sentient being.

The power to turn anything into obedient dolls and slowly play with them, completely at the Paps' mercy, knowing that one day, they will be hungry and slowly feed upon you with their small mouths.

Just the sound of that can let anyone know of its horror, It's small enough to comfortably sit on Yasuo's pal so one can only imagine how small its mouth is.

That pap slowly but surely eating you with its small mouth, It's simply a horrifying method of torture especially knowing its prey can do nothing and can only sit there obediently awaiting its demises.

The creature that can bring pure horror to the bravest of men is actually quite cute, at least from the outside.

It looks like a simple snail, no different from any other normal snail except for its eyes and mouth. Its eyes are much bigger, nearly the same size as its body while its mouth is extremely long.

The yellow bulge is what's responsible for its bizarre ability as Yasuo has observed one of its kind turning a certain animal into a doll.

He saw its tongue drill directly into the animal's brain undisturbed and it was but an instant before the animal became a doll.

So he made sure to use his domain to firmly control it and not allow it to move then he did what he was here for.

He extracted few drops of blood, light blue blood which he made sure to experiment on it a few times in a future that didn't happen before consuming it.

After all, he didn't know whether the Paps' blood is also responsible for its strange ability, so he didn't take any chance and saw whether it will affect him or not with his vision eye.

After doing so, he collected a few more Paps before teleporting directly to his lab through the small teleportation gate in his backpack.

He does so simply by sending an Aeroeye thread through the gate allowing him to look at his lab, thus being able to create a portal directly to it.

He placed the cute creatures in an environment specially prepared for their abilities and continued with a few experiments before heading towards his most important target, The Ai.
