Chapter 90: Perception

.......

Strangely that brought a bright smile to his face as he cheerfully talked to himself, "That's just rude, now isn't it?"

He went on to take a shower shortly after as he thought to himself, "Well, now I have to change my plans."

The gears of fate turned to his liking and the rain followed by clouds appeared as he predicted or so his perception states.

You see, perception is a wonderous thing, is infinite and beyond with one perception being different from the other.

From bugs and generally any animal to microorganisms and perhaps organisms even smaller to intellectually being such as humans and when it comes to sentient beings, the difference in perception becomes quite apparent.

We have differences so small yet so big that create a difference in our perception in life, experience, in everything.

We are who we are because each of us is different else we will just be a puppet of the same conscience with no free will.

Those small and big differences make one choose a different course of action than others or perhaps similar, just with a different thought process.

People are limited by their own perception with their only salvation being imagination and that's why one will never really know what a god's perception is like unless one became a god but we use our imagination, we expand our perception coming upon the vast expense of possibilities... Yes, possibilities are what they are.

In the end, it all depends on a few simple things with the most important being information and how one processes them.

In short, Pariston's perception is that everything is going as he wishes but is that truly the case?

We have another case here, a person whose perception surpasses Pariston by far, he can see much more and he sees that everything is going as he wishes under his absolute control. Yasuo processed the information sent to him through Zoldyck's personal transmitter as he walked into his lab... his new small simple lab. And he accepted the assassination request casually as if not suspecting anything.

The new lab appeared to be quite simple with only two work tables and several test tubes on them.

Taking most of the lab's space is a glass chamber with several individuals in it though whether they're alive or dead is a debate to be had.

What could be noticed is the small blue taint over the individuals' skin and their lack of clothes did little to hide it. T

here could also be noticed a few large tubes close to the chamber with what looks like a human and several different animals inside.

Most of the individuals seem dead as no movement could be seen from them, not even their hearts moved signifying that they belong to the darkness beyond in eternal slumber, the debate could only be made for one of them.

The same blue taint albeit a bit darker as he moved around munching something in his mouth... Human Meat.

Sometimes he eats his own meat, other times he eats from the bodies around him.

He looked... alive in contrast to the unmoving bodies around him. Every time he bites from his own flesh, it only takes a little bit of time for the wound to heal with little to no bleeding to be noticed.

Until a purple bubble manifested around the individual moving as the person moved enveloping him at all times as Yasuo observed what he wants to observe.

He observed the individual at a molecular level but molecules aren't his only observation target as he looked at the wondrous scene inside the person's body.

On every molecule, there are those strange organisms that clung to the molecule like they are their life, their soulmates, and to a certain extent that is exactly what they are to each other at this point in time.

The cells produce the fuel the organisms need to work and produce more of such organisms themself and... they produce something else, something special.

An astonishing amount of stem cells, the cells responsible for regeneration giving the person a healing factor strong enough to regenerate limbs.

The fuel of the organism appeared to be some kind of energy the cell produces, Nen and the person's cells seem to be producing it bountifully without stop with the amount being producing increasing slowly as time passes allowing the person's body to function normally in contrast to the bodies around him.

The drained bodies that looked as if the faint blue asking is attached directly to the bones not even a speck of blood to be seen nor was there any Nen to be noticed yet... they're still alive.

And well, the Zobae organisms are still inside of the drained bodies crowding together in a state of slumber... Not consuming Nen and in return not producing anything.

This is in contrast to the other moving person who is infinitely producing Nen as Yasuo wondered to himself.

"I wonder if Morena will gain their ability once she absorbed him though that's only viable assuming it actually an ability not just a natural function of the organism and that the person has the ability since he is the target and she can't select a target like microorganisms... yup it's unlikely."

Yasuo then walked into another chamber connected to the glass chamber, this is the decontamination chamber allowing passage to the glass one, a safety measure Yasuo put in place as to not allow the Zobae disease from spreading outside.

He wore a hazmat suit before going inside the glass chamber which is another safety measure. The organisms seem to be attracted to Nen so he prefers not to use Aeronen as a protective, in fact, even the dark purple crown is no longer on his shoulder.

He walked into the chamber getting the attention of the walking individual inside with the latter walking towards him producing some kind of noise nothing understandable as Yasuo noted.

'Still alive but might as well be dead, huh, having those things inside really drives people crazy, consuming one inside out.

The itch will follow them at all times as they feel their whole being getting consumed inside out... Or it's just part of the organism.'

He walked toward the other test table in the lab, one built inside the glass chamber with all the tools inside a locker next to it.

The locker opened and from it, several small freezers opened as well a few test tubes flew to him, each with different things inside.

The other individual in the chamber made no further movement remaining frozen in its place though he can still move his mouth making some weird noises.

Yasuo observed all the test tubes with his amplification domain checking the results of his experiments as he started noting what he observed to himself, "Sequence #36 self-sustain: failure, the organism is unable to operate without Nen and dies few minutes without it...

Unless it entered a slumbering state but there is a limitation, it needs to be attached to a cell to enter this state with every cell of the body being a viable option.

In this state, a rare phenomenon happens in which the Zobae organisms are able to share the same cell as a slumbering home with the only thing limiting this is the cell's size."

Once he was done observing that particular tube, he activated 'Violet Rose' erasing it with the piece of rotting flesh in it getting erased as well, and only then did he start observing another tube.

"Sequence #56: Specialised Artificial Zobae: Semi-failure, changing the organism's DNA even a little bit results in big changes with a high chance of it dying immediately and always dying after a certain time frame passed.

The organisms' functions only get worst not better as if something is limiting it from evolving any further... or the changes that I make are actually bad contact to what the data shows..." Then he erased the tube.

"Sequence #175: Genetic behavior limiter... On the brink of success, albeit at the cost of giving most of my time to this experiment.

I was able to set a genetic limiter with the purpose of limiting the number of Zobae organisms, make them fall into slumber always when unneeded stoping the continuous Nen consumption and only away when a certain trigger is activated.

But... there is a problem. I set a mother organism whose DNA I change to my suiting and once I infect some or something with that organism, it starts to produce more of such organisms with the same DNA and they by themself do the same until... they don't anymore.

Once that process happens a certain amount of times, the organisms' DNA starts reverting to what it once was as if evolving to its primal form which cancels all the coding I did to its DNA... There is a solution though..."

As he noted this, Yasuo erased most of the tubes leaving one that has a red liquid in it as a small piece of blue flesh flew in front of him with an amplification domain surrounding it.

He started modifying the DNA of one sole Zobae organism to the sequence he already memorized as one of the large tubes outside the chamber opened with a monkey flying into the decontamination chamber then to him.

Before he did anything though, a sniper rifle appeared beside him with a portal appearing to his right, one small enough for a bullet to pass through... He aimed and shot... Then he sent a message, 'The mission is done...'
