Mist of chaos
I saw this on Facebook and was grinning from ear to ear.
Btw, I dedicate this chapter to those who helped me on my college project! I also thank ANightToRemember11 for her comment on how to progress this story!
The timeline may be a bit messed up but whatever.
Sitting on a branch while enjoying the chaos happening beneath him was arguably one of Byakuran's favorite pastime, especially if the chaos include guns, explosions and screams. Ah, what a perfect way to start summer.
Byakuran is now 8 years old, and despite missing a few interesting events that was recounted to him by his 'mentor', since he was pulled away by his family with the excuse of outdoor family bonding (it ended up a hilarious disaster, which was the reason why Byakuran had enjoyed it), he still managed to get front row seats for others. For example, the appearance of the dark elves.
Has he mentioned that he had managed to sneak two dark elf corpse out of the battlefield, right under the nose of the self proclaimed God of Thunder. It is now in his underground 'headquarters' that has been expanded to his house. Well... what's left of it anyway.
It's not his fault that most of his material was used up. It's because a certain billionaire has gave him almost unlimited access to his lab and resources (aside from marshmallows) that he can be more creative with his experiments which caused his supply to decrease.
Maybe he should have grabbed a third corpse.
Aside from that, what he found from the corpse was interesting, as in, none-of-his-other-selfs-has-discovered-it type of interesting.
It might be because there is no resource of this kind in the other parallel worlds, but let's just leave it at that.
Anyway, Byakuran discovered that the flesh of the dark elves (his first unofficial wreath complained that 'How on Earth does these things not disgust you?', which he promptly ignored) seem to have a special compound, and when extracted after mixing some types of chemicals in a specific order, will produce a solid that can conduct flames (Byakuran also ignored that his wreath's blanched when he heard that the 'pretty gems' were made from alien flesh).
However, it could not be used to create A grade rings and above, but a grade B ring was also okay. Since it's not for him but for his lightning, it should work just fine.
And this is the reason why his limited material, which is the corpse, have been decreasing at an absurd pace. It's because, when trying to extract the compound, numerous trail and errors have been made, some causing explosions which he had very much enjoyed.
None of his past selfs were chemists, so explosions were normal since he had just started to be acquaintance in this field. ("No, they're not" shouted a hysteric mechanic while repairing his suit.)
The toxic residues on the other hand, were used to coat some hidden weapons that he made in his free time (just because he thought it was cooler to fight with them instead of using his powers). As usual, he blames his family. They had, after all, pulled him into reading a manhua called Douluo Dalu which he had very much enjoyed. Thus, he became so tempted into making those so called hidden weapons that he actually made them. The lethality is barely his minimum standard though.
Then again, it's only a prototype he made to sate his cravings.
Continuing with the present situation, there seems to be some problems with this base, meaning that somehow the combat staffs here are useless at combat. Absolutely useless. If that happens in his Millefiore, he would rather tear down his organisation and build it back from scratch than to retain such rubbish.
As the battle continues, two teenages(?) appeared.
He guessed that they are the 'results' of the Hydra base that the Avengers are attacking. Not bad.
However, he would only hire them as his wreath's lackeys as their combat ability as well as experience is almost non-existent. Furthermore, where is the coordination between fighters of the same organisation!? Where is the strategy!? Why is that person flying head first into battle!?
Oh, now he's flying out of the battle~
Ah, the joy of explosions. How wonderful it would be if the whole base could just explode. Wouldn't that be spectacular~
Byakuran wonders if he had been influenced by the Explosion Sect that he had just joined in the webnovel app... Nah. He had always loved explosions, it's just that the sect made him more addicted to it. Yup, that's all.
___________________________________
Well, this is a mess... Honestly, Byakuran was in a mood for a normal vacation for once and what happened? A flying island, that's what happened!
Then again, it's his fault that he agreed to it when his family proposed a vacation to Sokovia just because it seemed like an amusing choice.
He wondered if Tsunayoshi's luck of crashing into head first the source of chaos despite not wanting to get involved, has rubbed off on him. If that's the case, then should he feel happy it irritated?
Byakuran feels that it's hard to decide.
On one hand, it means that many interesting things will come his way; on the other hand, it feels weird that it is not him orchestrating an event like this.
Oh well, just enjoy what comes and decide on the aftermath later. For now, he's going to check out the two familiar energy signature that he has just found. But before that, he has to slip away from his family first.

Within the shadows of the crumbling buildings, there was an odd pair of kids silently watching the pandemonium that was occurring. There is not a shread terror in their expression, in fact, they look quite at peace with this situation.
The younger one of the twins whispered too the older one with uncertainty in her voice, "Mukuro-sama, there is a familiar energy signature around this area."
"Kufufufu, indeed Nagi."
As the chaos continues, two normal-looking beggers seemed to be at peace with the world, which caused the scene to look odd. However, the most odd thing about this scene is that not of the robots seemed to even notice them. As the robots continued to chase after the defenceless civilians, the two continued huddling together, holding a fresh basket of vegetables that they had managed to steal from the market with all the chaos happening while slowly eating the them. It was bliss, well, at least for them.
As for the rest of the world... It was not their problem anyway.
Haha! How do you like that! Please comment! I love reading them!
