Chapter 124: Can You Really Say No To Me Unless I Want You To?
.......
The scene of every last ounce of Netero's aura focused in the statue's mouth before mercilessly firing it as an enormous flare of unparalleled destructive power... Yet, that just left a few scratches on the King's body.
A distance of several miles away, someone could be seen, someone floating high in the air, the Zoldcyk called Yasuo who looked in a certain direction with his eyes gleaming like he can see something none can."That could've been dangerous..."
'Too dangerous. If I appeared a little bit later than I did, that would have lead to further consequences down the line making the fight a bit longer which will give enough time for Meruem to create a simple ability.
But for someone as strong as him, simple abilities for him are too complicated for average Nen users.' Thought the Zoldyck while lightly stroking his earring.
Yasuo saw what none else remembers, he saw futures where his plan became quite more troublesome to go through and the returns for all the planning he did became too low, much lower than the expected results.
All due to the fight taking too long and the King losing his patience so, in all those times, Yasuo had to personally interfere lest his plans go too astray such as fighting the King himself which is a failure in his book as that's not his goal at all, at least not in this point of time.
You see, there is something spectacular about Yasuo's 'Vision Eye' ability, the future Yasuo sees is a future where he has complete control over his actions and he knows he's seeing the future so he understands he can whatever he wants in that future without affecting himself.
The future he sees is never constant, it's a variable standing on the shoulders of another variable that is Yasuo.
Whatever he decides shapes the future, or more like the future he sees depends on his actions in the said future.
If his actions remained constant then the futures he sees will always remain constant.
In contrast, if he changed his course of action even a little bit, there is a large possibility it will cause further larger changes down the line or if he changed his course of action accurately for numerous futures he sees, he can shape the future as he wants.
The previous interaction with Netero was as such, he saw several futures before until he found that future he wants.
The future that he deems optimal and most beneficial to him, and all the words, expressions and every muscle twitch and simple action had a role no matter how small in creating this future.
So in the simplest terms, Yasuo is a controller like he always was, someone who can control everything for his wishes through either complicated actions or simple ones.
He is the grand controller, he can control people's actions without the need for a direct ability with that function.
If he wants someone to say yes then among the numerous futures, there is one where it's possible so technically one can only say no to him if he so wished, of course, there is the limitation of how far into the future he can see and his limited Aura pool making such a thing harder... for now.
Yasuo observed with an emotionless expression on his face, he looked at the distance with the desert being the only thing within his vision as far as one can see but that's not really what he's looking at. What he's watching is the continuation of the fight between Netero and Meruem.
Watching through the invisible eyes he has all around the Island and while he has already seen the scene that'll happen many times.
Yes, his ability is just that convenient, just how many nuclear level weapons has he activated yet none know about it because it never actually happened.
Just how many nukes has he detonated across the world just for his amusement and research?
How many humanity destructing weapons has he set free for similar reasons, he set the calamities to consume the world only he didn't have enough time to fully see the result before he expended all of his Aura looking into the future.
If only people could see the beautiful scenes he causes albeit very few would consider them beautiful.
And he has seen a lot using it, things that would've otherwise been impossible to do at that point in time became possible because of the ability yet even with how miraculous this ability is, he still considers it only the third strongest amongst his arsenal.
At all times, he was keeping his invisible eyes on the whole Island, he saw and is seeing the silver snake poisoning the Island as the smaller snakes helped to make the process faster.
Bloodbaths could be seen everywhere, bloodbaths caused not just by Chimera Ants but also by the new sneaky intruders.
He watched Pitou running not far behind Gon who is guiding her towards Kite's location and he watched the two other royal guards Pouf and Yupi who are heading towards the King's location and aren't far from it.
And the two royal guards watched as a beautiful yet horrifying scene appeared far in the distance.
The scene of a beautiful mushroom that rushed to the sky as if celebrating its freedom, its release to the world.
A fallout cloud shaped like a beautiful blooming rose, 'Poor Man's Rose' a type of low-budget and small weapon of mass destruction that has frightening destructive capabilities.
It is cheap and can be mass-produced in short amounts of time and is favored by small dictatorships because of that.
Phe Poor Man's Rose had "bloomed" 10 times over in more than 250 countries, taking away the lives of 5,120,000 people. When its usage in a capital during a terrorist attack caused 110,000 deaths, an international treaty was established to forbid any further production.
However, more than 80% of the countries that are possessing the bomb did not dispose of or ban the use of the pre-existing bombs.
Currently, hundreds of thousands of Miniature Roses remain... most of which are within Yasuo's and the silver snake's hands, and one of the remaining ones was within Netero's body ready to detonate the moment his heart stops beating...
The bomb that just detonated possibly taking the chairman's life with it and possibly the King's as well but Yasuo knows and can see the King within the burning lava almost completely dead with half of his body in ruins and the other half... There is no other half yet his life hasn't ended just yet.
The bomb that consumed all that's around creating the cloud that'll stay standing for a while and changing the area into a small Volcano creating flowing lava everywhere within, the slight wind seems to work into the bomb's desires as it worked to push the dark smoke further and further looking for more pries to consume.
The dark smoke which contains more than what meets the eye, showing just how much desire for destruction was put into making this kind of bomb, the darkness that makes the bomb even more dangerous... even more deadly.
Instantly the two royal guards' eyes widened, the scene before them is happening in the direction where the King went, so this can only mean one thing... Realizing this The two shouted in unison.
"My King!!!" Before flying as fast as they can towards the burning volcano ignoring whatever danger there can be.
Yasuo slightly smiled uttering the simple words, "Done, now I just need to wait for a bit..." Before he disappeared with the slight wind like he was never there...
The gears of time moved as he patiently waited for the promised day... The fated day fabricated by his own hands but for him, this is but a single phase of his plans.
However, he considers it the most important phase of all as this is where he'll transform to become what his first life didn't permit him to do...
To break any barrier that could even stand before him and the method he found is quite simple and convenient, something he might not possibly find in another world... Yasuo looked at the sky with his glittering thinking of the final phase.
At the end of the day, his most prized abilities are his 'Vision Eye' ability coming third. coming second is his conjuration ability, his mysterious conjuration ability that was never activated but that won't be for long.
His greatest creation however will always remain his Control Domain which is a core part of the final phase.
Absolute Control is its future but now he needs to focus on something else as the time for the orchestra to start playing has come.
Every piece lined up and every piece of the puzzle already solved. Everything perfectly timed as the two royal guards found the King...
They found the barely breathing with the remaining upper half of his body completely charred.
They cried almost believing he's dead until they noticed that faint breathing and knowing the King is still alive brought great joy to them.
They found a way to heal him using his greatest gift and power, an unused power definitely befitting of a King.
