Chapter 128: Within My Control
.......
Yasuo again enjoyed the sensation of having everything within his grasp, within his control, and that helped him ignore the pain significantly. He focused on his domain and what he can sense and the results were fascinating, to say the least.
He sensed everything to a very minute level, to the level he wanted which wasn't anywhere near the microscopic level as sensing molecules will cause so much burden to him to the point dying is a highly likely possibility so he only adjusted his domain sense to the level he wants.
However, he noticed a peculiarity, he can sense something else, something interesting.
He can sense space and without the need to use his amplification domain, he can sense space as clear as he used to when amplifying his domain except now, he can sense every inch of space throughout his domain that surpasses the 10 miles range meaning he can control it.
Not only that, but he can also sense something else, something hidden deep within him and every creature within his domain.
A burning fire with varying colors shining within every creature, shining within him as well with a dark purple color and black spots all around.
Yasuo happened to know what the vague thing he can sense is exactly, the concept of souls.
Something he studied quite well but even to the current him, the subject of the souls remains a mystery hard to unravel as his studies didn't take him that far but knowing he can naturally sense souls with his current level of strength brought a sigh of relief out of him.
Of course, he knows the power is temporary but it was about what he needed to know and he knew how strong he needs to be to sense such a concept but this is why he created the sub-ability called Amplification Domain. He created the ability to shorten the time needed to sense things.
So one can wonder if he used his amplification domain sacrificing most of his current domain range, one can only wonder what he'll be able to sense.
What is beyond sensing souls? what is beyond sensing space and souls? and is there something even beyond that, Yasuo was looking forward to finding out.
And well, it wasn't long before he found what's beyond, a concept he anticipated long ago, in fact, he found out instantly because of one simple reason and without the need to risk anything.
A loophole he can exploit for a long time to experiment on what would need hours to days.
Through a simple ability of his, he was to do so much more than what anyone can imagine in an instant, without wasting all of the Aura he would've wasted with all those experiments as even though he used a bit of his Aura using the ability, it was nowhere near how much he would've used trying all those experiments.
Instantly on Yasuo's shoulder, a dark purple crow appeared with a pitch-black vertical eye on its face, one that blinked signaling something has happened as the crow only blinks when the ability activates.
He also used the ability previously before he disappeared for 6 seconds although he used it for a different purpose, used it to look at a completely different future, well, many possible futures he could face in those extremely long 6 seconds, after all, what he did was extremely dangerous and the possibility of death was possible even with his current level of power.
The blink that happened instantly before the dark crow also disappeared instantly and so he saw the future.
Not just one future but he saw many many futures in that instant, and the knowledge of what he saw and experienced remained deeply engraved in his brain and soul.
Only then did Yasuo start the next phase of the plan and the simplest one as he disappeared before appearing miles away standing on the ground though this time he didn't use his portals ability to teleport, instead, he simply manipulated space around him to appear where he wants.
And while he was already able to manipulate space to a certain extent albeit at a much smaller scale, he always found it extremely hard to do and he needed to train quite a lot to get the hang of it and his training in space manipulation took more than a year to produce any significant result.
That should testify to how hard space manipulation is. How to move space in a certain way to produce a specific effect, that was basically the gist of his training which took a long time though it never stopped but even with all of that training, he still found space manipulation quite complicated and hard.
The numerous ways space can move to perform a specific effect made it so it's extremely complicated.
Warping space, destroying space, moving space in a way to simply vanish objects, and much more, these are all things he trained in doing although some were harder than the rest, some were too hard for them to be possible with his level of power.
After teleporting using Nanika's power, however, he learned quite a lot, when he teleported from the Island to this part of the dark continent, he observed the entire process closely.
The process of space being manipulated naturally and elegantly around him to teleport him to the other side of the world.
An exquisite process Yasuo learned a lot from, the process of perfect space manipulation to cause a specific effect, the space around him moved naturally flowing like spring water without any resistance and he instantly appeared within the dark continent high in the air in his desired location.
Yasuo with his perfect memory made sure to memorize every small movement space made around him during the whole process, he memorized to heart the whole sequence of movements that led to that specific effect.
He found the process perfect without a single fault like it's god's work but he knew he only found the process as such because of his inexperience in manipulating space so he found the space movement that happened perfectly exactly because it's far out of his league... or was out of his league.
You see if there is something Yasuo is unrivaled at by anyone he has ever met and possibly ever met is perfect control and perfect mimicking.
His control domain which allows him to sense everything to a very minuscule level and his perfect memory is a combination that allows him to mimic anything as long as he's strong enough to do so.
So it's only natural he could with his control domain mimic the entire process perfectly and he was already strong enough to do so even before fully activating his conjuration ability so in his current state while mimicking the process, he found it a lot easier than before.
He still faced resistance when controlling space but it was way less than what he usually face and that says a lot considering the difference in scale of what he used to teleport and what he's teleporting now.
Manipulating space to move particles or small leaves is vastly different from manipulating space to teleport himself completely causing a movement in space big enough to move him for miles instantly... A perfect work of his control.
His feet instantly touched the soft muddy ground or it looked like it as a thin layer of air separates the dirt from his dark shoes.
He looked around with his interest apparent in his eyes in what looked like a slow-motion but time moves slowly around him as if muddled in his presence so a motion that looked like it happened in a second actually happened in less than a millisecond.
He looked at the beautiful white field, at the white plants that looked like rice albeit larger than normal rice and different color as each one of them is completely white creamy even. The white field, another goal of his.
Specifically the rice seeds within, these plants are what's referred to as Nitro Rice, the ultimate secret to longevity. Seeds able to extend one's life span, a seed extremely hard to find yet here he is in the middle of a file of the same plant for as far as the eyes can see.
Except Yasuo noticed something about the field and noticed something about Nitro rice, It's as rare as it was said to be. Among the miles and miles of his domain, he only sensed about three Nitro seeds and that's within the more than ten miles of distance all around him.
If the danger all around is also considered, then that'll increase its rarity significantly. The danger that seems to want to keep its distance from those few Nitro rice like there is a barrier stopping them from reaching it.
The dangerous creatures within the field and trees seem to be cautious of the seeds or something around it as not any creature was within a small distance to those few seeds he sensed, ones that started flying towards him like they found their new owner, they're within his control domain after all...
