Chapter 70: Benefits
.......
That creates an unknown variable, a variable the source entity can't possibly allow to exist yet such a variable actually exists... So If my theory is right then I know a general idea of what the mysterious entity Is...
Yasuo continued to dive deep in his thought process coming to a few conclusions and making numerous assumptions while also making adjustments to his plans until he let out a small sigh.
'This gave me more questions than answers.
In the end, Pakunoda is a vital piece if I want to get more information without using Nanika's power and I definitely won't use it unless necessary especially after the new information though what I need is her ability...'
A smile appeared on his face thinking of this, 'Well, it's quite fun, solving the mystery... I just need to solve it in a way where I come on top.
I want to be the one driving the car with a destination in mind not sit in the backseat with the driver taking me into the unknown.
Or better I want to be the one who created the threads, the threads that control the driver without the latter knowing so. The one that controls everything behind the scenes.'
Yasuo opened his eyes with a mysterious smirk on his face, 'Things will be much easier once I finish my new ability. Hopefully, it works how I want it to and Vision is really a good name for it.
I should also visit Morena from time to time, I looked forward to what kind of ability she will make with her personality and talent, and well, my expectations were exceeded. Her ability will be quite useful when the succession contest begins.'
Yasuo stood up noticing that Alluka finished her painting and is just looking at it, he controlled her to flew into his arms startling her for a second then he looked at the painting hovering in front of him, "Well, Its quite good,"
Alluka started shaking her head saying with a hint of annoyance, "No! It's not good enough, you looked so much cooler!"
Suddenly annoyance turned into sparkling eyes as she used her cutest face while looking at him, "Onii-Chan can you do the same pose again, please!"
There didn't seem to be any change in Yasuo's expression as he brought his left hand hiding his face while also holding his laugh back.
Well he failed as he let it out, "Hahahahah hahaha sorry I couldn't hold it hahhahaha, that's new, where did you learn that?"
Alluka let out a pout saying, "At least pretend it worked, meanie!"
Yasuo let out a small laugh as he pinched her cheek remarking, "Cute! How about something better, I'll take you to a place where you can progress your hobby until you think you're good enough, then I'll do as you said. So what do you think?"
Alluka let out a big smile then she kissed his cheek saying, "Love you soo much!!!"
Yasuo then closed his eyes as he lifted his left hand while allocating Aura on it, a small Aeroeye thread appeared and continued extending until it went out of the window and flew away at a swift speed under Yasuo's manipulation.
He continued on manipulating it until the forefront of the thread left some distance from the city then started concentrating a substantial amount of Aura in from of him.
A portal started opening up and enlarging as he fed more of his Aura into it until it got large enough for him to go through and he did just that after putting everything he needs in his backpack and bringing Alluka's painting tools.
He appeared from the source portal floating high in the sky with Alluka in his arms.
As the portal closed behind him, he created three purple threads that formed a triangle from his upper back.
Numerous threads started branching out from those three as they started moving beneath him while twisting together until they formed a large bird.
He sat down on it as he started manipulating it to fly while also controlling it using his domain making it faster.
'Hmm, as I thought, the consumption is quite small if I fly like this instead of using solely my control domain, this will allow my flying speed to be much faster...'
"Whahh! It's soo cool" Alluka seemed surprised as she started touching the purple bird with fascination in her eyes, "Onii-Chan do you think I can do things such as these too?"
Yasuo just smiled as he started caressing her hair, "Sure you can, In fact by the end of the month, you should be able to so just get better at painting and you'll be able to do things like these..."
Happiness appeared on her face as stars started circling her head signifying her joy and satisfaction, "Really?"
Yasuo nodded as he started patting her while increasing the bird's flying speed yet the wind has no effect on them due to his control domain.
The flight continued for a while until a massive silhouette appeared in the distance far away.
As they closed the distance, It became apparent what the silhouette is, An extremely large tree, so large that it surpassed the clouds as it looked down on everything beneath it.
This is The World Trees, the tallest type of tree that put their roots on a mountain range, intake magma, surpass the atmosphere, and become even bigger.
They grow mostly in the "outside" world but at least one of them is in the "known" world. The World Tree in the "known" world is only a sapling that has only enough nutrients to grow to about 1.11 mi.
Yasuo manipulated the bird to fly directly to the top of the tree bypassing the usual procedures of paying a fee and signing a written agreement.
The purple bird landed on a large branch though its only part of numerous branches forming a massive nest. A nest in which a few large round chicks with varying colors inhabit.
The chirping sounds could clearly be heard from them as they noticed the uninvited visitor though they seem harmless.
These are the World Tree Birds, a species of bird that nests and inhabits at the top of the World Tree with An adult World Tree Bird having cat-like ears and a long beak for carrying food.
The purple bird dissolved as Alluka looked at the colored chicks and everything around her, the beautiful view with everything looking extremely small from the top made her eyes shine.
"You can play around and paint whatever you like. Also, if you need anything, just teleport back home and bring it." Said Yasuo softly while opening his backpack then bringing out his laptop and a card swiper.
Alluka started running around enjoying herself while Yasuo swiped his 2-star hunter license granting him access to the Hunter's Traven. He noticed a few new options which opened up for him after becoming a 2-star hunter.
Only two of the newly available options interest him, the most important one being the option to buy 'Journey to the New World' the East edition.
Over 300 years ago, Don Freecss traveled to the Dark Continent and recorded his travels into two editions: an East edition and a West edition; however, only the East edition is still extant and is the one available for purchase for 2-star hunters.
Once he tried to buy it at an astonishing price of 250 million jenny, he received a warning stating the following, 'The book is for private use only, else your hunter license will be revoked and will be hunted down!!!'
He ignored the warning completing the payment and getting a digital copy of the book but he didn't look through it just yet.
Instead, he clicked on the other option that interests him and the reason why he wanted to become a 2-star hunter though becoming a 3-star hunter was a benefit he couldn't say no to.
It's the option to request a tour in the International Permit Agency's basement where a few things exist, things he really wants to take a close look into.
The Agency is an organization formed with the cooperation of a group of different organizations that regulates travel to the Dark Continent, and are operating directly under the V5 so there are bound to be some interesting finds.
He started reading the book after filing the request which will take at least a month to get approved and while the request getting denied is an option.
The chance for that to actually happen to someone like him is small especially considering he will become a 3-star hunter in a few days.
The Dark Continent, the place that stretches beyond the Known World which is nested inside the gigantic Lake Mobius.
A lake located at the center of the Dark Continent, in fact, relative to the size of the dark continent the lake is but a mere pond and we live in that small pond...
