Entering it with Lightning Release would obviously be suicide.
The Lightning Release Chakra Mode could stimulate the cells in one's body, allowing the user to gain greater strength and speed, but even that had limits.
Clearly, the high-voltage electricity in that pool—no, more accurately, that lightning pool—had already far exceeded the limits Ronin's body could withstand.
So Ronin's first choice was Susanoo.
However, the central core area did not have enough space to fully contain the complete-body Susanoo, so Ronin had to control Susanoo's size. This was truly a challenge for him.
After all, ever since he had mastered Susanoo, the environments where he used it had never required him to consider whether they could accommodate Susanoo's enormous body.
Still, controlling Susanoo's size was not especially difficult.
The key factors affecting Susanoo's size were the amount of chakra output and the consumption of ocular power.
As long as he could perfectly control the consumption of both, he should be able to create the Susanoo he wanted.
Ronin began experimenting.
The idea was good, but carrying it out was not easy.
The most important point was the ratio between chakra and ocular power.
Of course, this difficulty only meant Ronin would need to spend a little more time.
As long as he could master the output ratio between the two, then in the future, no matter what size Susanoo he wanted to create, he would be able to do it freely.
During this process, Ronin even tried materializing only parts of Susanoo, such as creating only one massive arm.
After all, to fish the Unmanned Stones out of the pool, the most important thing was a flexible arm.
Several hours later, Ronin could already skillfully create a Susanoo of the right size.
But he did not rush to take action, because this process had consumed quite a bit of his strength.
In any case, this energy leak had not been going on for only a day or two. Ronin really did not believe their arrival would be so perfectly timed that it happened to be the critical moment, and that if they did not repair the island immediately, all the energy would be exhausted at once.
If that was really the case, then the island might as well sink.
The next morning, after resting and recovering, Ronin continued his research on Susanoo.
This research continued until the third day, which was also the tenth day since they had arrived on the floating island, before it was finally completed.
By now, Ronin could freely create Susanoo in any form.
For example, as he stood at the entrance to the pool room, he directly activated his ability and created an extremely long Susanoo arm.
The arm entered the room and rushed straight toward the Unmanned Stones at the bottom of the pool.
The high-voltage current struck Susanoo's arm, but it could neither pierce nor burn an arm made entirely of energy.
But when Susanoo's arm entered the pool, wisps of white smoke began rising from the water.
Everyone could clearly see that the enormous Susanoo arm was being rapidly corroded.
However, Ronin's speed was faster than the pool's corrosion of the arm. Susanoo's arm was also extremely flexible. The instant it reached into the pool, it scooped up a large number of Unmanned Stones.
The Susanoo arm withdrew.
A large batch of Unmanned Stones fell into the container that had already been prepared. One could see electric currents still flickering over the wet stones.
But when a high-powered blower sent hot air in and quickly removed the water from the Unmanned Stones in the container, the electric current began to disappear. The Unmanned Stones fully became gems emitting a faint, tempting blue glow.
Ronin's gaze never landed on the Unmanned Stones. Instead, he was watching his Susanoo arm.
That arm had already been corroded by more than half by the liquid in the pool. And as long as the liquid sticking to the arm had not been fully consumed, the corrosion would continue.
"This corrosive liquid seems pretty good too," Ronin thought, developing the idea of taking the liquid away as well.
After all, this was something that could directly corrode energy.
The only problem was what to use to contain it.
"Good thing the Trinity Elixir doesn't always release this corrosive liquid. Otherwise, if the rain falling below also had corrosive properties, who knows what would've happened down there," Kurapika said somewhat thankfully.
With corrosion this powerful, even if diluted, the ships they had used earlier would probably have been quickly corroded.
And thinking of how this thing could even corrode Nen, the number of creatures that could survive under corrosive rain would be pitifully small.
Everyone greatly agreed with Kurapika's thought.
"But why did the water in the pool become this corrosive liquid? Isn't that really strange?" Ronin had doubts in his heart.
However, before entering the pool, no one could answer that question for him.
Susanoo appeared again, and Ronin continued his grand plan of fishing out stones.
When the last Unmanned Stone in the pool was finally fished out, the situation inside the room finally changed.
However, in order to enter safely, they still needed to guide away the residual high-voltage electricity in the room.
But that was simple. Ronin did not even need to act. Kurapika used his chains to guide all the high-voltage electricity outside.
It seemed that while Ronin was researching Susanoo, Kurapika had not been idle either.
Otherwise, Ronin strongly suspected that when Kurapika used his chains to conduct the electricity, Kurapika himself would have been the first one fried.
After the electricity in the room completely disappeared, the floating island issued an energy warning.
However, Ronin and the others still had seventy-two hours. The island's reserve energy could only last that long.
But that was enough.
Because everyone could now enter the pool. At the same time, after the Unmanned Stones were removed, the Trinity Elixir lost its energy supply and no longer released water.
The corrosive liquid inside the pool did not trouble Ronin's group.
Because when dealing with lifeless substances like this, the team had the most professional person for the job—Shizuku.
Shizuku successfully activated Blinky. After testing and discovering that the corrosive liquid could not corrode Blinky, she collected all of the corrosive liquid.
And this became another trump card in Shizuku's hands.
Blinky that could spit corrosive liquid—tell me, are you scared?
After the corrosive liquid was sucked away, everyone entered the pool and confirmed the specific situation inside.
Just as Ging had judged, there was a damaged spot inside the pool.
However, judging from the traces, it was not hard to see that it should have been man-made.
"Can it be repaired?" Ronin looked at the complex Divine Script carved into the stone bricks at the bottom of the pool and could only turn to Ging with expectation.
"Yes. The floating island's database contains clear engineering blueprints. Based on their contents, I already know what characters were originally carved there, and I also found suitable repair materials in the warehouse."
As he said this, Ging had already taken out the tools he had prepared and quickly got to work.
