Chapter 69: Deduction
.......
And silence engulfed the place in its embrace as Yasuo\'s eyes shined in brilliance thinking of all the possibilities.
His mind working to its limits trying to solve such an interesting mystery until a small smile surfaced on his face, "That\'s... interesting, too interesting,"
Netero raised his eyebrows wondering, "You know something I don\'t?"
Yasuo nodded, "I\'m making my own assumptions..."
Netero looked thoughtful for a while before nodding and saying, "There wasn\'t any major incident in the past years and she was with you so I won\'t pry any further unless necessary."
He started stroking his beard with a gleam of interest as he asked, "You have the ability to mimic other people\'s abilities, right?
I know someone similar to your situation and he happened to like exploring the world and doing what he finds interesting. In fact, he asked me about you a few years ago once he knew about your actions in Greed Island."
Yasuo asked, "Ging Freecss, the game master?" Netero nodded to which Yasuo continued asking, "Did he ask about my abilities and goals?"
"Yeah, only one of your abilities is known in the Hunter\'s Traven at a price of course and it\'s not really explained well, and it\'s the one you used in the Heaven\'s Arena so he wanted to get more information, information we don\'t have."
Yasuo nodded standing up, "Perhaps I\'ll meet him later but for now, I am not that interested. Anyway, I\'ll stay here for about a month so how about we spar once a week?"
A bright light appeared in Netero\'s eyes before nodding, "You know where to find me,"
\'I need to find a way to win and a counter against his teleportation ability, I also have to train more, I really got too rusty...\' He thought watching Yasuo going out.
Yasuo walked through the streets of Swardani City until he found a hotel suiting his taste, he booked a room for a month and prepared a cup of coffee for himself, and took a seat relaxing while thinking about the endless and fascinating possibilities the new information opened for the future.
Suddenly Alluka appeared in the air next to him hovering under his control, "Finally I\'m able to teleport to you! look at this" She said showing him a painting she is carrying with her.
Her appearing brought him out of his thoughts as he controlled her bringing her closer with a hint of interest looking at the painting.
A painting of his house back in the Zoldyck property and the green beautiful hill around it.
A smile surfaced on his face as he started patting her, "Much better, you worked hard huh," Remarked Yasuo noticing her astonishing progression in painting, he noted her talent in this field giving him an interesting Idea...
Hearing that brought a smile of pride to Alluka\'s face, proud of the hard work she put into what she likes.
"Right? I have gotten a lot better. Also, I want to paint a painting of you, Please! you always say to wait until I become much better so can you do a cool pose for me?! Please!"
Alluka Started talking calmly only for her voice to start getting higher, passionately asking him with stars shining in her sky blue eyes.
Yasuo let out a small laugh of amusement then asked curiously, "What kind of pose?"
Hearing that brought a wide smile on her face since that means he agrees, "Something Cool like you!!"
Yasuo thought about what a cool pose would be for someone like him before controlling himself and the chair floating next to the window as the brilliance of the full moon shined through it.
He crossed his legs still in his seat and closed his eyes allowing Alluka to start her work.
The latter\'s eyes shined noticing his actions as she teleported back, bringing all her tools then started painting with the air around her changing signifying her complete focus.
Yasuo\'s mind started racing thinking back on what Netero said and all the information he knows about this world.
He focused on using all he has to deduce all of the possible scenarios and how that may affect the future especially in his trip to the dark continent.
The cycle continues... This phrase keeps repeating in my mind signaling its importance allowing me to put things together.
In each cycle, the entity shapes its personality based on the environment around it so it\'s safe to assume it doesn\'t keep its memory or it\'s a completely different entity except they all have the same source, with the latter being the source of their power. I\'m inclined to think it\'s the latter.
Now to a certain extent, I can see where the Ai come into play, Codependence of Desire... A Gaseous Life-Form: Ai, a mysterious being and one of the Five Threats that humanity met in the Dark Continent.
Both Nanika and the mysterious statue work in a similar way, they both need other lifeforms to work, in fact, their existence depends on other lifeforms and the environment around them.
Though Ai was only found in the South-southwest of Lake Mobius but that doesn\'t eliminate the possibility of it existing in other places or being carried by dark continent natives or creatures to other places so that explains how it reached the northwest of lake Mobius.
Though the Ai possessing the statue is quite interesting. But what is the relation between Ai forms and the entity, is it possibly desires? If so then what\'s its goal?
Netero said the area all around it was decayed as if its cursed and according to how long they took to find the temple, the cursed area should be massive so what caused it?
Is it the entity itself? or perhaps something related to its goal or... It\'s the consequence of its power being used too much.
Also, it called itself the god of choice dyo epilogés but from what he said, there were signs of an ancient civilization and the temple makes me more inclined to believe that it\'s what the people that built the temple called it.
Perhaps they worshiped the god of choice and made the statue so once the Ai possessed it, it took a personality based on its environment.
The personality of a god and that brings me to its power, its related to choices where one has to choose from two options it provided and one has only about a month to choose though there is a possibility that it\'s limited to the choices it can provide.
There is an obvious limit I can see though, It needs one to enter its sanctuary for its power to work and it was probably referring to the temple and it can probably only use it once a month even if one chose one of the options before a full month passes.
This shows the difference between how Nanika works and how the statue works, they were born in different environments and in different hosts resulting in different desires which means that whatever entity gave them this power has no control over them or more like its control is minimum.
Even among a civilization of believers, there must people who would want to make use of the god of choice\'s power and exploit it so perhaps they found a method to abuse it and that could\'ve resulted in some unforeseen consequences.
Killua also abused Nanika\'s power so perhaps there is a repercussion I don\'t know about.
Something that will only be known later in the story and something he will have to solve by going to the dark continent and I think Zigg plays a role in this.
Also, is satan a similar entity? considering it exists in the same timeline or cycle as Nanika insinuates it shouldn\'t be since the god of choice specifically said \'The cycle continues, that could also mean that its cycle ended indicating that it\'s probably dead by now.
Netero also said he noticed cracks all over the statue which means its time was ending and it needed to continue the cycle before that or does the mysterious entity have a role in this?
Perhaps it gives them the need to continue the cycle just like it gave Nanika the need to make requests and grant wishes.
Also, the god of choice is actually the one who provides the options but there should be some limitation on it else It will just do what it wants.
On the other hand, Nanika has no limitations since I\'m sure that as long as the wish is within her capabilities, she will grant it but that comes at a price, she has no power over what people can wish for.
That creates an unknown variable, a variable the source entity can\'t possibly allow to exist yet such a variable actually exists... So If my theory is right then I know a general idea of what the mysterious entity Is...
