Chapter 157: Am I Even Human Anymore?

..........

The transformation process was extremely convoluted which is why Yasuo took his time altering his DNA.

It's a sensitive process after all and any mistake could lead to some undesired outcomes down the line.

The only part of his body he didn't start modifying is his brain as he's planning on leaving it to last and since it's where a paradox lies.

His control domain's core is his brain and it's his weakness so if he started remodeling it, his normal thinking process could potentially stop which means his domain will no longer work.

However, he already has a counter for that, the pillow placed behind him, the one he brought from Greed Island which will allow his astral form to appear, and he can control his domain in that form as well as think clearly and that's all he needed.

The thing about changing his DNA to that particular DNA is much denser than normal humans so he will either become smaller and much thinner than he already is or use the purple liquid which has that same DNA.

A process that'll continue for months with certain special events happening outside such as Nasubi announces an expedition to the Dark Continent led by Beyond which leads to an interesting sequence of events.

A sequence of events that lead to the next expedition to the dark continent.

They were some obstacles along the way such as the V5 trying to hunt Beyond who ended up voluntarily handed himself to the hunter's association though the expedition was approved.

In fact, the Kakin empire joined the V5 becoming the V6 instead which they had to do.

The expeditions will all be funded by the Kakin empire and the other major forces of the known world will also be there to collect their share of treasures.

The tempting treasure within the dark continent that always forced them to go back there even with the dangers within.

Yasuo left everything to Morena and told her everything that she might need to do in the next few months so he didn't worry about what's happening outside and focused on what's happening inside.

Within the darkroom with no source of light to be seen, a faint light appeared, a silver shining light shone through the room as Yasuo opened his eyes, as he opened his beautiful clear silver eyes.

His hair remained as dark as ever without any change, the same hairstyle he always had and liked, not long but not short either.

As he slowly stood up, it became apparent that his height didn't change much, only an increase of no more than two centimeters.

There is something strange that's also quite apparent, previously his skin looked quite pale but still had a faint shade of red in some places as his vigorous red blood flew through his veins.

However, now it appeared completely pale without a trace of blood to be seen, without any shade of any other color to be seen.

His current appearance made him look like a vampire, a mythical race whose blood doesn't circulate because they're dead.

It's an after effect of death, their skin becomes a greyer or more dead-looking hue because the body doesn't function.

However, that couldn't be any further from the case, his strange new rich blood is circulating through his body vigorously, it's just that his veins are isolated from his outer pale skin.

They're isolated by a barrier almost completely impossible to break through.

A skeleton he constructed beneath his skin with only a few passages to allow his skin to function normally without dying due to the lack of necessities that will be delivered by his blood.

Just so his skin doesn't die as there are a lot of things blood delivers to it to function normally and interestingly, the skin absorbs much of its needed oxygen from the atmosphere around it but that's for normal humans, can Yasuo even be called human at this point?

His heart, the central organ responsible for delivering blood to every part of the body seem to have some interesting changes and the same happened to every organ he deemed necessary.

Yasuo studied the human body thoroughly and he also studied the Chimera Ants bodies he found and researched ways to improve his organs during the transformation.

To evolve his organs beyond what they were capable of and that applied to every organ of his though this evolution of them is something he considers as a first step.

The rest of the evolution will happen due to his new DNA which has an interesting function he's relying on.

His heart was beating but its a very faint beat that only happens once in a while yet that feeble beating can distribute blood to every part of his body causing several continuous circulations of his strange blood through his every vein.

His dark purple blood taking the color of the liquid that resulted from the genetic elixir machine.

But none can hear his heart beating, not even melody, the exoskeleton wouldn't allow that though calling it an exoskeleton isn't an accurate description as it's hidden beneath his skin.

His breathing is faint and almost unnoticeable but enough to get the necessary oxygen for his body.

The chimera Ants also need to breathe so even though his new DNA's quality is a bit higher, he still needs to breathe albeit not as much as before, in fact, he judged he can function normally without breathing for hours.

The greatest change however is in his brain and his control domain, how his body feels and the power held within, and his new feel of control over his body and Aura...
