Chapter 100: Variables  

.......

Yasuo noted that peculiarity a while ago so instead he created an amplification domain around it and observed the rat for a while as a smile of success surfaced on his face, "Zobae V3... Sequence 1763... Success!"

"Enhanced Zobae organisms Success. Completely controlled Zobae organisms Success. Completely controlled bacteriophage success. Perfect self-sustenance... success. Minimal consumption success."

After checking the Zobae organisms' activity for a while He started the next phase which is quite simple.

Using his control domain, he isolated one single grown-up Zobae organism and numerous Phages before erasing the rat from existence.

Then he simply transferred the Zobae organism as well as the phages to himself before expanding the amplification domain to envelop him completely then started monitoring his body specifically the organisms' activity as it reproduced.

And as it did so, his appearance started to change, well, its just his skin color that started to slightly change gaining a slight blue shade all over his skin for a while.

He just stood there making sure the organism is working as intended and it did as once it reproduced enough it simply stopped doing so.

In fact, it stopped doing anything as the phages took complete control over it and its color started to change becoming silvery as the organisms enter their slumber state and so did the phages organisms as his skin color returned to normal albeit a bit silverly.

He still continued the monitoring for a while before leaving the chamber heading towards another chamber that has a small pool in it with the temperature being extremely high in contrast to the other chamber.

The pool is filled with a strange black liquid, a liquid so still yet feels so dangerous it will bring chills to anyone seeing it.

There could also be noticed that the whole room is engraved as well as the pool with a faintly shining inscription.

He started outputting his Aura into the pool as the inscription started shining brighter and brighter as it devoured his Aura.

In return acted as a battery saving Nen for the liquid to feed on it at its own pace, a poison he is preparing for a future project. An evolutionary poison with infinite possibilities. Yasuo stroked his earring with a strange expression on his face as he wondered, 'I wonder, will it really work? pushing the percentage even higher.'

....

Stealthy footsteps... Several stealthy footsteps resounded faintly throughout the abandoned building... An uninhabited building among the many in the run-down area filled with broken buildings, fallen walls, and the dust of the ancient.

The ten individuals walked into the building finding someone already waiting for them, someone they expected, a young man with combed-back black hair and grey eyes.

He is wearing a dark purple fur-collared leather and a fur trench coat that is unbuttoned, revealing his muscular body, while the coat is imprinted with the golden St. Peter's Cross on the back, Chrollo Lucilfer, the spider's head.

"You're late, why?" Asked Chrollo.

"Hisoka is the one who was late, we had to wait for a while in the meet-up place before he showed up."

Explained a tall slender woman with long pointed features. She has short, straight, blonde hair reaching down to her neck.

Her attire consists of a dark purple suit, reminiscent of a working woman suit, which exposed much of her cleavage, and a pair of flat, pink shoes, this is Pakunoda one of the spider's legs and she didn't look pleased looking at the one at fault.

The person didn't seem to care as he walked a little bit further before taking a seat on one of the broken walls everywhere though he still explained with a smile never leaving his face once he noticed Chrollo's questioning eyes.

"I was just performing magic tricks for an unwilling audience so excuse my behavior."

The explanation made most of the members' faces twitch as they looked at the jester of the spider, He is a tall man with light skin and a very muscular physique, and red hair flowing upwards.

His attire consists of green pants and a sleeveless shirt and several green bracelets on his upper arms and wrist.

He has a paint of a blue star on his right cheek and a yellow teardrop on his left one as well as other card symbols on his shirt, this is Hisoka Morrow, one of the spider's legs though the jester is a more fitting description.

"Tsk." That's the sound Nobunaga made being the most one that openly shows his untrust in Hisoka as he also took a seat with Fietan doing so as well, the two are number 1 and 2 respectively.

Chrollo's expression didn't change used to such situations, instead, he just waited until everyone sat down then started informing them.

"I think you already guessed but we'll be targeting the southernpiece auction as the things auctioned this year are extremely valuable."

"What's your plan if they hired the Zoldycks again?" Directly asked Pakunoda showing her trust in him.

After all, each one of them still remember the incident years ago that almost lost them the spider's head though not everyone was there. Chrollo of course let them know of what happened and his conclusions regarding the mysterious Zoldyck.

"Of course, there won't be a conflict of interest so this time we'll actually be helping each other. I'm sure he won't interfere and even if he did, he will stall just like I need him to since I will also hire the Zoldycks to get rid of the remaining Dons."

Simply explained Chrollo giving more questions than answers especially so for Hisoka whose curiosity picked as he thought to himself.

'A Zoldyck? Is it their head or Illumi or his brother? If it's the latter then I'm really looking forward to meeting him... Someone Chrollo's cautious of huh...' As he paid his complete attention to what Chrollo has to say.

Chrollo added answering all the questions they have in mind, "The plan is simple really, I will be the distraction so if they hire the Zoldycks they will come after me but I will also hire the Zoldycks to kill all the Dons which in return will cancel the targets on our back so I will be safe while you'll all finished the robbery."

"Of course there is the variable called which of the Zoldycks are gonna take the job against me and I think it's unlikely for it to be Yasuo Zoldyck. The United of Saherta is the last underworld territory the silver snake family has yet to take control of so."

Hearing that brought a light of comprehension to Pakunoda's eyes as she continued in his place.

"We'll be helping him so he won't interfere, in fact, he will take the opportunity since the silver snake is his."

Chrollo nodded and was about to continue before he heard Hisoka who couldn't hold back his curiosity wondered, "You're all scared of going against one person?"

That didn't change Chrollo's expression as he calmly answered, "He is problematic, his abilities are mostly unknown but from what I observed in our confrontation, I don't want him as an enemy.

He has a teleportation ability or more like he creates a portal in which he as well as anyone can go through, its range is at least several buildings and he can create multiple at a time so that makes quite a lot of our abilities useless."

He continued, "Then there is the one I'm not sure of, something shielding him against attacks from all directions or something similar.

I believe he either transmute his Aura to an invisible substance or conjures something invisible he can manipulate or any other category really so you can see how something invisible can be extremely dangerous."

"The most dangerous ability however is the one I know least about, simply the ability to erase or heal thing.

He was able to erase an ability of mine with it and heal a deep wound almost instantly so yeah I don't want to go against him unless necessary and the numbers advantage won't really work on him so yeah."

Then silence enveloped the dark broken room for a few seconds as Hisoka comprehended the implication of Chrollo's tone, only he knows the dose of ketamine rushing through his blood at the moment.

'Stronger than Chrollo? and Illumi didn't tell me at all, I should've investigated the remaining Zoldcyks. Ignoring a beautifully grown tree is a sin in itself!'

Only after a while did Chrollo say, "Now that you know the overall plan, let's go into details."

Yet even the spiders didn't see another variable coming into play, the scarlet is the variable's calling, the means are his life, the drive is his emotions, an undying rage and hatred hidden deep within the brown eyes as the golden hair flowed down trying to mask the emotions as well until the time for them to be unleashed are reached.

The dark strange crow standing atop looking down on this with unknown intentions, a variable impossible to read as the strings spread from within It's Dark Vertical Eye...
