Chapter 177: The Depths Of The Dark Blue
..........
So he decided to leave it for later, now he has too many things to research and train... Way too many things, the trip will also be a long long trip so he has ample time to do whatever he wants.
Massive tsunami waves that surpassed the height of even the black whale. It threatened to take down any seekers of the dark that want to go through it.
Creatures humans can only face despair against. The team witnessed the existence of mystical creatures before their eyes, legendary creatures such as Krakens and they don't appear to be too rare either.
The darkness of the dark continent started showing itself before they even reached it. Thankfully they were protected by the guide, and the Kraken seem to understand that as it only observed them for a bit before going back to the depth.
The same happened when meeting another mystical creature, the Sea Dragon. A massive creature, even bigger than the Kraken, miles long, vibrant dark green color that everyone on the ship watched in fascination for minutes until it disappeared from their field of vision.
The dragon acted similarly to the Kraken, it only took a glimpse at the guide and the ship within before continuing on its way. A hint of intelligence was clearly noticed in its eyes, just like the Kraken. Even their behavior was a clear indication of their intellect.
Those aren't in any way the strangest creature they lied their eyes on. The strangest one is none other than a creature they named Sea monk, the strangest creature humanity has ever faced, not from its power as it was never observed but from its behavior.
Rising suddenly from the placid surface of the water not far from the guide is what looked like a great ocean swell, a giant black head. Sea monks were massive, rising as much as a hundred meters tall.
Several of such creatures rose from beneath the sea looking at the guide with their enormous round eyes, a small black iris lies in their center that makes the vacant black heads look even more terrifying.
Their strange eyes were glued to the ship at the center of the guide with desire apparent in their eyes and they didn't fight that desire.
Instead, they accept it as they started strangely moving towards the guide only to be faced with an unstoppable force.
The guide was a barrier they couldn't go through to reach what they desire. No matter how much they collided with it, they weren't able to stop it in its place or break through it.
In fact, the guide was just swimming through the dangerous wavy sea without a care in the world, its speed didn't decrease one bit. Its speed was actually increasing as time went on, a strange entity the guide is.
They were however quite persistent. They followed the guide for thousands of miles trying and trying to no avail, only then did they head back to whence they came from.
Those are just the most striking creatures they lied their eyes on, they saw much more. They also saw whales, enormous friendly whales. Some quite simple with black or blue and white skin while some have strips with the same colors.
He was right because after he gained Polarized Vision, it strengthened his other sensorial abilities and the same happened to all the sensorial abilities he gained, they supported each other and combined to become something better.
He swam deeper and deeper into the darkness yet his sense of direction was still perfect. He still knows where the depths are and where the surface is.
A smile never left his face as he explored the unknown and unexplored grounds. A beautiful and fascinating place.
He can see creatures everywhere because in contrast to his previous world where there aren't too many creatures in deep sea. Here, life is abundant.
Most of the creatures aren't visible but several if not numerous of them are bioluminescent.
That caused the darkness to become light as the shining creatures swam all around in their natural habitat.
Some are using their light to attract prey or warm predators and evade them. Most creatures at these depths use different strange sensorial abilities to see as most of them are blind.
A beautiful place Yasuo couldn't get enough of. He spent days in the fascinating abyss and he's planning to do the same for weeks to come.
Not just for its beauty but also for the benefits that lie everywhere. The many lifeforms that will push his evolution even further as well as the sense of adventure he gets from this exploration.
Also for research, he documented in his brain every creature he saw and observed how they behave and work, then took a sample of their blood which he drank after experimenting on it for a bit.
He observed the colossal dragon up close, he researched what's within, how it behaves, and what power it holds. And he did the same to every other creature they met and of course, took a sample of their blood.
And he realized something. Every creature they started meeting once they entered the dark continent's water contains a decent amount of Nen in their cells. They can't actively use it but it seems to work naturally once they use their natural abilities.
Every creature around him in these depths is naturally enhanced by Nen, their sensorial abilities and every organ of their will always function better than once without Nen.
In this world however, every creature has Nen, it just depends on how they evolved and how much Aura they have, and what their genetic structure can do with that.
Nen behaves in a strange way and its strangeness has only grown, the closer he was to the dark continent. Nen to a certain extent is a reality-warping power.
So when creatures with an abundant amount of it desire and need something through generations, their Nen helps them evolve to meet that desire.
A desire that has grown over countless years and that created some of the most dangerous and strangest creatures that would've otherwise been impossible to exist.
Yasuo turned his head and looked in a certain direction as his senses have picked a massive strange creature close by.
A creature slowly swimming towards him with the sound it's making preceding it, a sound that made water in its way vibrate slightly. "A new one, and an interesting one at that..."
