Chapter 55: Kakin Empire
........
Morena let out a faint smile, "I changed my mind on what kind of ability I want... so I\'m still visualizing it,"...
Yasuo raised his eyebrows, "Oh, what changed your mind?", She looked surprised, "You don\'t know?"
A faint smile surfaced on his face as the latter came close to hers while holding her chin, "Is it because of me?"
"From how your heart is beating right now it should have something to do with me right?"
A smile full of mischief appeared on her face, "I wonder? aren\'t you the one who knows everything so you tell me,"
Yasuo retracted his hand while letting out a small laugh, "You\'ve grown up huh, well I\'m enjoying this."
"Let\'s see, you aren\'t in love with me yet but you\'re afraid of that happening so you want to kill me,"
Morena\'s face couldn\'t help but twitch as a helpless look appeared on her face, "...You\'re really... annoying, aren\'t you,"
Yasuo stroked his earring as he said, "You know that doesn\'t make much sense, don\'t you?"
Morena nodded saying, "It doesn\'t have to make sense, If I feel like I need to then I will,"
Suddenly, Morena was sent into a daze as Yasuo sealed her mouth with his slowly into a long kiss and she didn\'t resist even after getting her bearing back allowing herself to be carried away by the kiss.
He ended the kiss withdrawing his face from her then looking at her eyes, "How does it feel?"
She looked dazed for a second before saying, "You really want to make it harder for me, don\'t you?"
"Absolutely," He said with a smile on his face only for her to look at him blankly then let out a sigh.
"Anyway, we should be about two hours away from the capital so go take a shower, we\'ll stay in your house before taking over the Heil-Ly family..."
Yasuo took a shower then wore a comfy white sweater, black pants, and casual black shoes then picked up his backpack and went out of his room and waited for Morena who wore a short trench coat with a sweater under it and black pants.
They left the airship then took a cab heading towards Morena\'s house, Yasuo noted that much of the city has very traditional, oriental architecture few modern skyscrapers as well.
This bustling city, on the coast, seems like an expression of Kakin\'s rapidly changing place in the world, a somewhat foreign, culture that is swiftly becoming a hugely influential and modern power in technology, economy, and politics.
This is the Kakin empire, a small country that was threatened to be absorbed by its neighboring countries.
Around that time, the First King of Kakin conjured the Seed Urn and had his children fight in a succession contest for the throne, which is the foundation for Kakin becoming the superpower that it is today.
"Can you take over the family yourself in two month\'s time before the auction?" Asked Yasuo after they reached the house.
"I think so, I gained quite a lot of followers before we meet so taking over shouldn\'t be that much of a problem if not for the big variable being the high ranking members abilities, but If I take my time, I should be able to do it in less than two months,"
She answered with confidence apparent in her voice.
"Hmm, then you can do it yourself but if you have any uncertainty, make sure to let me know,"
She nodded, "You won\'t try to stop if I want to do anything after I take over, right?"
"You mean bringing chaos to the world? Nah, do what you want. Once you take over just give me a seat in the auction or better, let me know where the items are and that\'s all I need, why would you think I\'d want to stop you?"
Wondered Yasuo with genuine curiosity.
Morena looked unsure but still said, "At first, I thought you don\'t care about anyone but after seeing Alluka, it appears that there is someone you care about so I don\'t know if you\'ll stop me when I kill others since I\'ll need your help when using the ability I planned,"
Yasu let out a small laugh of amusement, "You said \'If I feel like I need to then I will,\' so do what you want as long as you don\'t hurt Alluka or anyone from my family then I don\'t really care about anyone else.
Also, is the ability you\'re planning that chaotic for you to ask me this question?"
"Yes, At first I just wanted to create a parasite that brings as much chaos as possible while strengthening all of its hosts but I changed my mind.
It\'s still a parasite type Hatsu but I want to focus all the strengthening on me else I won\'t be able to keep up with you."
Then a mischievous smile appeared on her as she continued, "But the ability is too dangerous for me so I\'ll need your help quite a lot so I didn\'t know If you\'ll help me considering you\'ll basically be killing random and possibly innocent people,"
Yasuo narrowed his eyes in a thoughtful expression, "That sounds quite interesting, if what you planned works as I think it would then... But You\'ll owe me."
she nodded and as she was about to leave she heard something that stunned her, "I can erase the scars on your face... so if or when you feel like you want them gone, let me know..."
Morena touched the scars on her face with a dazed look as she started walking out, \'Can I ever... live without them?\'
Yasuo was left in a thoughtful expression with his earring shining in a green light, a light that disappeared as he stroked the earring, \'45% huh, that\'s interesting,\'
\'Anyway, I should continue on creating my Transmutation Hatsu, I should be able to finish it today,\' With that, an object flew from his backpack, a small transparent material.
He used his amplification domain creating a ten meters bubble around him then started manipulating his aura in order to give it the properties of this particular material.
The material is Aerogel, a synthetic porous ultralight material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component for the gel has been replaced with gas without significant collapse of the gel structure.
The result is a solid with extremely low density and extremely low thermal conductivity.
Even with its extremely low density making it extremely light, it is quite strong. A block of Aerogel as large as a human may weigh less than a pound yet it can support the weight of at least 1000 pounds.
Yasuo started trying to mimic its properties a while but he found it quite hard since he wants to take it further, he wants to create Aerogel threads similar to Machi\'s but keeping the properties of Aerogel while still being able to form other Aerogel shapes.
Considering the aerogel\'s strength and density then combining it with his control domain is basically overkill since he will be able to manipulate the threads at high speeds and if combined with him controlling them with his domain then the speed will be astonishing possibly surpassing the high-hypersonic speed (10-25 Mach) considering the threads will be near weightless.
The Hatsu can be incredibly useful especially in the dark continent and it can serve as a long-range Hatsu since he will be able to manipulate it far beyond his domain.
Though it won\'t be as fast and his control won\'t be as meticulous as in his domain and he is planning on creating a sub-ability that will make it even more monstrous.
