Chapter 195: Unveiling The Mysteries III
..........
"Don Freecss huh, a simple yet complex man, what secrets do you hold and what have you achieved?" These were the soft-spoken words coming out of Yasuo's mouth as he set foot on the top of the untouchable structure.
His form ignored the indestructible barrier around the floating structure just like he ignored the barrier around the spider-like city and the ritual place.
His presence of almost completely impossible to detect as he had Meleoron's ability activated. That's why the second line of defense of the structure wasn't able to detect him.
The second line of defense which consists of numerous golem-like rocky creatures patrolling the structure.
Exquisite golems with numerous engravings all over their light brown bodies.
These are golems that were possibly doing the same things for over a hundred years without stop and they don't seem like they will any time soon.
The fuel that powers them seems to be plentiful and Yasuo found out how the moment he reached the area as his domain allowed him to teleport to a specific area.
A well-maintained area with numerous wires and metallic seatings, most of which are full of what looked like sleeping golems.
He found something similar in the area to what he found within the floating city. The same glass ball placed on a thing platform with the same arrangements.
Except that the rock which is submerged in the water is much smaller than the other one but it seems to be doing what it was intended to do perfectly.
The wires were connected to the seatings around the area with their other end being connected to the glass ball.
The golems seem to be programmed to perform a specific course of actions regularly as they had plunged the end of the wire to a specific spot on their body.
That allowed for electricity to start transferring from the glass ball to their body and fully charging their core which happened to be a complicated metallic sphere within their heart area
This is a process they go through every week or so, exchanging the patrolling duty with the other group regularly forming a perfect unending cycle that can go for perpetuity.
Yasuo took the dangerous structure as a museum as slowly strolled around only observing the interesting things for a little while before resuming the stroll.
However, just like the other place, he made sure to memorize every bit of inscriptions he could find, every fascinating pattern engraved by Don Freecss himself.
Yet Yasuo's findings in this place were disappointing and interesting at the same time, 'Aside from the necessities that keep this place running, I found nothing.'
Yasuo was in deep rumination as his eyes brightened, 'This means that either someone took everything that was in here or Don himself took everything, Meaning he was planning on leaving possibly permanently... Why?'
Yasuo wondered as he stood before the core of the structure with a much large glass ball positioned before him with a much larger unmanned rock inside.
'The place was swept clean leaving most rooms empty. How am I supposed to know his lifestyle and where his interest lies with so little information?
Well, I know he's very interested in the inscriptions and he's a very simple man, a bit similar to Ging in his love for exploration though he also seems to like experimenting and creating things.'
'And according to the two clans, he seems to like to mess around but he also helped the other clan which means he cares for humanity's survival or perhaps for another reason.'
'And,' Yasuo's eyes were shining scarlet as he was looking into the glass ball before, 'He's discreet and doesn't like intruders, going as far as placing a self-destruct mechanism.'
Yasuo then teleported to the place he judged to be the central room of the ship, a ship because he noticed that that's exactly what it is.
The central room which looks more like a ship control room leading one to believe the structure can move.
Yasuo can see more, he can see the engines on every side of the ship, thin but wide engines. The engines were completely engraved with some specific inscriptions allowing them to functions as intended.
Just like how the inscriptions transform the electricity to mechanical movement and just like those inscriptions are the programing language at which these machines speak and function.
That is how Don Freecss let the Golems know what to do, a form of artificial intelligence with a different rare language, an extremely difficult language to learn and write.
Yasuo observed the control room closely for a while noticing it's completely down, in fact, the whole ship is down because aside from electricity, it needs something else.
The primary and most important fuel is none other than Nen and it's much harder to come by than electricity especially to power a ship as big as this.
A smile surfaced on Yasuo's face after a quick rumination, 'The ship was constantly moving so he can't do the same thing he did to the city and connect it to the creature of the core which is an unlimited source of Nen.
However, he can do something else but he most likely didn't do it, he must've been powering the ship solely by himself using his own Nen...
He has values or morals... Or perhaps rules he doesn't want to break lest he loses his humanity.'
The idea of a continuous Nen generator is something Yasuo thought of a long time ago and he was planning on using that generator for his indestructible lab and actually use it as a moving ship.
A ship similar to this one and the generator is quite simple, a living creature. A strong creature that can continuously generate massive amounts of Aura.
Putting the creature or creatures in an induced coma and using them as a generator with the help of some complicated mechanisms and tools to pull the Aura out of them.
And Yasuo knows he can create many such creatures, all he needs is time. Time to completely assimilate Morena's parasitic ability which will be incredibly useful.
'I'm not really interested in using the ship for myself but learning how it works is a good addition to my research regarding inscriptions.'
Thought Yasuo after observing the ship for a while and added in his mind, 'My lab has far more potential and it's something of my creation.'
Yasuo was planning on transforming his lab into a moving facility or an indestructible ship so he of course researched how he can do so for a long time.
His research regarding the patterns was hence expanded to other areas and while he fully researched the basics, things like anti-gravity inscriptions are still a bit far from completion.
Yasuo then teleported to the ground beneath the floating ship which is strange considering it needs the fuel to function yet here it is, floating stably about a hundred meters above the ground.
His black boots touched the dark ground. The strange ground that rocks just like normal rocks albeit with a dark color, not quite black but not far off.
However, that's not rocks. The dark material that expands as far as the eye can see is metal.
a special kind of metal, a magnetic material strong enough to repel the metallic ship above it and leave it floating for what could be assumed to be tens of years if not hundreds.
Yasuo lightly touched the extremely cold magnetic material in deep contemplation.
'I built my lab completely by Yasium and it's as I found out a nonmagnetic material so doing the same as Don seems useless unless I surround my lab with a metallic material that will be repelled by this material.
However, is that really necessary? I can have a permanent Nen generator so with the right inscriptions, my lab will be able to float for perpetuity if I wish so.'
The hand he touched the material by seemed to be behaving like strange magnetic material in itself as he lifted it bringing with him a large chunk of the material.
"The magnetic material however seems interesting. It's worth a bit of research." Remarked Yasuo as his figure started turning a bit shadowy until he completely disappeared.
By this point in time, several months passed across Yasuo's exploration of the continent as he took his time doing so.
Time, he has ample of and it's most of what he needs for the last phase of his plans.
He is waiting for the purple spider webs to spread throughout that thing and waiting for the blue organisms under his complete control to pain that thing in their color.
However, his genes, hi body, and soul also need to be strong enough to handle what's to come and he knows he still far from what he will possibly need.
His genes are still evolving as he had fed them numerous delicacies but he needs time to fully assimilate them.
As his genes get stronger and stronger, the time needed to assimilate bloodlines will respectively become shorter so in the end, all it comes down to is time and explorations...
