Chapter 207: A Stone Destined To Become A Diamond... With Time And Patience
...................
"Hah..... Hahaha hahaha..." The sound of laughter echoed throughout the inky night sky.
The sound's source seems hidden within the darkness of the night, barely visible.
The sound echoed continuously in several locations nearly at the same time, but no matter how much one looked for the source of the sound, they will never be able to find it.
That sound is but a mere remnant of the past as its source has already brook through the limitation of sound and space.
The shadowy black dragon, flying at a speed surpassing the hypersonic speed by far, could faintly be seen.
However, it only takes Darco a few seconds of flying before going through a portal again and again.
The man mounting the dragon is none other than Yasuo. The sound echoing far behind him is his.
Yasuo's eyes were radiating in fluorescent light, making his beautiful scarlet eyes glow even more.
He had a radiating smile on his face, one of pure astonishment, marvel, and amusement.
The source of those overwhelming emotions is the strange energy shape floating above his right hand.
It was a transparent shape, a cylinder. It looks static, just floating there, but if one paid attention to it across a certain period, a movement would be noticed.
The energy cylinder was moving, but it was moving so slowly it was almost entirely impossible to detect. A snail could be considered a rabbit in contrast to its speed.
Of course, Yasuo has his domain, so even the most minute of movement wouldn't escape his senses.
He sensed the cylinder slowly moving and deemed it will take it days to travel a single centimeter.
However, he also discovered something else. The cylinder's speed was slowly increasing.
It was increasing so slowly it might as well be considered negligible as that continuous increase in speed will only be noticeable after weeks.
"I had my theories regarding how you work, but I'm still amazed at how you work." The laugher stopped, and what took its place is his calm words that couldn't hide the amazement within.
"The simplest of abilities but the most complicated at the same time," Remarked Yasuo before adding:
"That simpleness is what allowed me to mimic the ability in this short amount of time.
However, that complicated is the obstacle standing before me and anyone seeking to make the ability useful in any way."
Yasuo couldn't help but let out another laugh, thinking of the cylinder's speed, "Honestly, you make even a sloth; the representation of laziness and slowness look fast."
It was at this point in time that his eyes shone brighter than ever while gazing at the cylinder as if it's his most prized treasure.
"However, I know your potential, nay, I've seen your potential and know exactly of what you can do, I know of your infiniteness... After all, I've seen you surpass the speed of light and go far and beyond."
After studying the miraculous cylinder for a bit, calmness returned to his pale face as his finger slowly moved towards the shapes, seeking to gently touch it.
"Now however, you're the epitome of fragileness and feebleness, even the still air threatens to extinguish your existence."
His words declared the erasement of the cylinder from reality because as his finger came in contact with it, it crumbled into nothingness.
He didn't do anything in particular, that was truly just his finger gently touching the cylinder and in the least amount of force possible at that.
Yet it crumbled to pieces, seemingly already seeking just the weakest of reasons to extinguish itself.
That is how frail the cylinder currently is, in contrast to the ones he faced before which seemed to contain the force of myriad worlds within, capable of extinguishing the world whole.
Yasuo's emotions seemed to be on a rollercoaster, quickly changing in seconds as a smile surfaced on his face.
"In the field of patience, I lost against you, and it will probably take a long long time to reach your level... Don Freecss, you have earned my respect no matter how meaningless that respect may seem."
Well, his respect is meaningless because it will not change his course of actions no matter what, as long as his research requires it, that respect can change.
"Taking into account the cylinder's current speed and the rate at which it's accelerating, it should take numerous years for it to surpass the speed of light, yet he was able to do so.
Unless he had another ability that helped in this regard or some kind of vows and limitations that made the process faster, but even then, it should take hundreds of years for it to be useable."
The cylinder is the ability he mimicked after facing the rain of cylinder bullets, he allowed one of the bullets to him which allowed him to mimic it.
Surprisingly, he found it easy to mimic, way too easy. After experimenting with it for a while, he pretty much figured out all the mechanisms of its working.
The ability was named the cylinder of rising force, and just as its name insinuates, its power is continuously increasing.
How it works is quite simple, there is point A which is the speed and force at which it started after Yasuo fully mimicked it.
To change and improve the ability, one has to keep the cylinder always in action.
The cylinder has to always be moving which means its speed and force are also increasing, albeit slowly.
The speed and force it reaches before the user unmanifest it is point B, and that point B will turn into point A after that while keeping the same speed and force.
So when the user manifests the cylinder again, it will start at a newer point A with a higher speed and force than the last point A, and the following improvement is point B until it becomes point A again.
That basically means that the previous highest speed and force the cylinder reached is what it will start at next time
An example of that is none other than Don Freecss who was able to drive it to an insane speed surpassing the speed of light, henceforth, it will always start at that speed until it gets surpassed again.
Of course, the same could be said for its force as the cylinders were able to erase Yasuo's body and even the vision construct, akin to a knife slicing through butter.
However, there is an interesting thing about this Yasuo noticed, while it can always start at the highest speed and the cylinder needs to slowly improve on it, that rule doesn't apply to slower speeds.
That means the cylinder can move at speeds below its highest speed depending on the user's wishes.
"Not just that, the cylinder can act as an offensive weapon which can erase anyone.
It can also act as an unbreakable defensive shield due to its force, and it can also act as a transport vehicle.
If the user manifests a large cylinder, he can enter it, and the insides of the cylinder seem static unaffected by the cylinder's movement as if it's an entirely different dimension."
Yasuo took a deep breath of fresh air before exhaling as a tranquil smile surfaced on his face, and his tranquil words reverberated throughout the surroundings:
"You have your patience... I have my imagination and creativity."
He said those words but knows quite well most than not, words are an empty concept and what matters most is actions, so he sought to prove it.
A purple sphere appeared before him with another cylinder manifesting inside of it as Yasuo's scarlet eyes shone more than ever.
He started controlling time within his amplification domain. His control domain is his greatest creation, and it will always be no matter how far his research takes him in the future and what he will create.
The cylinder within his amplification domain started moving at a noticeable speed, way faster than last time.
In reality, it's moving at the same speed as last time, it's just that time was accelerate to the extent it started to look as if it's much faster.
Yasuo was pushing his time control to its limit and befitting of time, it's quite consuming which is why he couldn't accelerate time any further, there is only so much his brain can handle.
His input capacity has certainly increased, quite a lot actually, in fact, it has increased to such extent it's just like the difference between heaven and earth in contrast to how it was before his transformation.
Yet, even that increase was only able to do so much against time, and that says a lot considering he can go way above his brain's limits due to his astonishing regeneration.
If the cylinder needs about 100 days of natural acceleration to become 10 times faster, then Yasuo accelerating the process 100 times with his time control will allow for it to reach that speed in 1 day.
This process isn't foreign to Yasuo because he has been doing it since a long time ago, except he has been accelerating himself as to accelerate his genetic evolution.
That also allowed for his prowess to soar rapidly and is partially responsible for the massive increase in his Aura pool.
He also does so for training, as training in his time domain allows him to produce more results in much smaller amounts of time, relative to the outside world of course.
As for the loss in his life span? Well, does a decrease of millions in infinity matter? Not really, especially considering he is nowhere near losing that much of his everlasting life span.
It wasn't long before he reached his destination, a massive forest encompassing the horizon itself, spreading as far as the eye can see... Strangely peaceful.

That Domain is such a cheat.
