Chapter 125: It's Time

.......

They found him 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.

'Aura synthesis', Meruem's initial ability gives him strength through consumption. His aura grows every time he devours a user of Nen, with their aura synthesizing to his own.

When he consumed Menthuthuyoupi and Shaiapouf, he also obtained some of their Nen abilities.

The amount of which he needs to consume one's body in order to achieve this is unknown, but it would seem that Meruem needs to absorb the vast majority of their body to be able to use their ability.

And the same is happening before Yasuo's invisible eyes as Meruem consumed what Pouf and Youpi have and is giving him.

Their flesh rich with absolute power rivaled by none in the known world, as he consumes more he regenerate quicker and quicker as even the missing lower half of his body started regenerating.

He became stronger than ever, a combination of his natural biological ability as the King and his natural specialist Nen ability allowed him to go beyond what anyone else could, a level of power unrivaled by almost anyone in the known world... He was truly born to be a King only if he has more time left.

But he doesn't as humanity's desire for destruction managed to surpass the King's new level of power.

The darkness within the already destructive bomb is a poison that'll make sure none lives after the bomb, none within miles from the explosion can escape the darkness's clutches and the King couldn't, neither could Pouf and Youpi, they just don't know of the intruder within yet.

Yasuo didn't let that get in his way however as he has more important things to pay attention to, somewhere within the Island specifically within the republic of East Gorteau not far from the royal palace though far enough for Gon and Pitou to take several minutes to reach it.

The place where the manipulated Kite lies, manipulated by the threads of Pitou' ability 'Doctor Blythe' and Gon's goal happened to be setting him free believing he's actually still alive.

Albeit... deep within, he knows a hint of the truth but he refused to believe it, the stubborn person Gon is, he believed he's alive and all Pitou has to do is set him free and heal him...

This isn't out of naiveness as that's far from the truth, this is out of pure desperation of the adventurous soul within. 𝔣𝔯𝖊𝔢𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝖔𝔪

The desperation that continued to accumulate until the kid reached his breaking point and from that, darkness started to accumulate waiting to be set free to engulf what the young soul wishes it to.

The trigger to release that darkness happened to be Pitou herself, the darkness that'll set out to take her life, "Liar..."

Coldly stated Gon with his knees on the cold floor, his eyes seem to lose any signs of life, tears fell down his cheeks... The air around the whole room changed.

The air changed as the darkness within was set free, Gon slowly stood up, the Gon that brought an amount of fear out of Pitou she couldn't have imagined possible, she looked at what was once a weak human and what is becoming something else entirely, "I don't care... If this is the end."

This is the sign Yasuo was waiting for as he appeared to be hovering with the bright moon floating behind him and waited for a little bit, he then smiled before uttering.

"A field filled with what I desire... Filled with what'll help me break my limits negating the restrictions I found... So Let's go, shall we?"

The moment he finished talking is the moment he disappeared from his place, no matter how much proficiency he gained in using the portals ability, he was never able to create portals instantly.

No matter how small of a time it takes, it's still an amount of time making it almost instantly instead of instantly.

So even if it appeared as if he creates portals instantly, it actually takes a certain amount of time and it takes much longer when he creates a portal and control it to move around him instead of leaving it in its place and going through it although he rarely does so the consumption for moving portals around is way too high.

But he started using it quite a lot recently, that's why he appears as if he teleports.

In fact, the source portal he creates engulfs him teleporting him before disappearing, and with his continuous training and perfect control.

He was able to make the process so fast it looked instantaneous for people that are relatively weak.

And the King and Netero were able to see the process clearly but seeing the process doesn't mean they could react to it as the process is just that fast.

But again, it takes a certain amount of time no matter how small it is while his current disappearance is quite strange.

What happened and what Yasuo sensed is a movement in space the moment those words were uttered.

Since Yasuo was able to sense space with his domain long ago, he messed around with it quite a lot and trained in manipulating space a lot.

And at one point in time, he found that without using his amplification domain, he can sense movement in space with his normal domain alone which he attributed to gaining enough proficiency in his control domain.

And the movement he sensed in space was strange, to say the least, and at that moment, he truly teleported instantly but not with his ability, it's something else entirely.

Years ago, Yasuo made a wish for this day anticipating its arrival, he made a wish to Nanika when he was in Greed Island, a simple yet vital wish for his plans...

A one-time use wish which will allow him to teleport to a place near something he desires and teleport back twenty seconds later with whatever in his amplification domain also teleporting with him albeit the wish is a bit more complicated than that.

The dark energy within his chest testifies to the wish made, an energy that appeared in his chest once he made the wish, and the same dark energy produced by the scarlet eyes of the Kurta Clan, a mystery he already solved.

Only at that point did he experience true instantaneous teleportation as space seemed to shape itself in an interesting way before he appeared in his destination.

And he made sure to memorize the way space behaved throughout the teleportation, after all, even with how much he studied space, he still only considers himself average in manipulating it as he needs much more training.

He appeared in his desired destination high in the sky looking down on what looked like a vast white field of some kind of plants, completely white plants as far as normal eyes can see but Yasuo can see much more.

Yasuo observed all around him as he felt and sensed the strange air around him, observed not just with his eyes but also with his domain and he saw much more than what the eyes can see.

He saw and felt the abundance of oxygen in the air, an atmosphere much richer in oxygen and other necessary molecules than in the known world.

The air felt fresh like no one can be here without feeling energetic except for the dangers around not permitting one to enjoy the beautiful scenery and air.

Yasuo can see far more than what a normal human can even when comparing eyes, he can see into the far distance as saw all the strange life forms moving around, he can sense the numerous life signals practically everywhere.

He saw bugs, strange ones different than any he ever saw and bigger, some much bigger than others.

Among the large white field, few trees could be seen here and there with some distance separating them, trees so tall they rival some of the tallest rare trees in the known world yet here they're so common here.

Trees almost reaching a hundred meters in height and while there are quite a lot of trees surpassing that in the known world.

Those are quite rare and few and that's when we account for the entire known world yet here we are in a random place of Yasuo's destination and there are already trees such as those as far as the eye can see.

A beautiful scene indeed, one Yasuo didn't have much time to enjoy as he felt the danger from several trees, no specifically the trees but what's within, the faint yet dangerous life signals within

"I guess that's something I will get used to when I come back here... Dangers everywhere, this is the dark continent after all."

Yasuo even with his current unrivaled power is still an incredibly cautious person so when he wanted to teleport here, he wanted to teleport to a place high in the air.

he's floating at a height of more than three miles looking down on the beautiful yet incredibly dangerous scene beneath him with caution never leaving his peculiar eyes but this is what he prepared for all those years.

Only now did he make an interesting remark while stroking the shining silver earring on his left ear, "It's time to collect what's owed."
