Chapter 746 Understood
After some back and forth, Michael decided to ask his mother if he could read her mind. It didn't sit right with him, but he wanted to complete this part of his part. Michael wanted to believe his mother. Unfortunately, her actions weren't exactly trustworthy. Therefore, Mind Reader had to be used.
The brothers felt bad, but both wanted to know the truth. It was important enough for them to ignore their moral compass for a while.
Fortunately, Evalynn Fang accepted Michael's request. She was stupefied at first and a little bit angry, but she also sensed an opportunity to correct what had gone wrong in the past.
Michael used a Soul Tear on Mind Reader before applying several Enhancement layers on the Soultrait Symbol. After that, he began reading his mother's mind for a while.
Entering her mind wasn't that easy. As a being close to ascending to a Divine Lifeform, Evalynn Fang's mind was naturally more refined than others. Most ordinary mental attacks wouldn't cause any harm to her. She had to lower her guard intentionally so that Michael could use Mind Reader properly.
Once he was inside her mind, it was much easier to read her thoughts. Evalynn Fang tried hiding some things, but Michael heard everything she thought. He subtly altered the train of thought with specific questions, unraveling doubts that had plagued the brothers' minds for a long time.
Michael learned a lot about his grandfather. He was a strict man who didn't allow his disciple and daughter to do anything he didn't permit. Even as romantic feelings blossomed between Evalynn Fang and her father's disciple, they had to wait until her father gave her permission before they could be officially together.
Their training was difficult, but they overcame all of their ordeals with hard work and growing power.
Michael switched to the time after his grandfather's death. Decades later, Hesta, Daniel, and Michael were born. He read his mother's mind as the years passed. She was happy. It was almost like nothing in the universe could shatter her happiness. That was until Hesta showed signs of awakening before ascending to a Higher Lifeform.
Hesta did, in fact, not awaken her Curse before ascending to a Higher Lifeform, but it was obvious that her awakening would be brutal. Evalynn and Peter Fang tried to gather all the necessary resources for the Curse Awakening Ritual. Unfortunately, Hesta ascended too fast. Everything went downhill starting that day.
Evalynn's happiness was crushed. She had to decide whether to follow Hesta in the Nest, a place she had gotten to know as hell from her father's teaching or stay with her sons. At the end of the day, Evalynn knew that her sons would be fine even without her. Daniel was already a mature boy, and they had enough money to purchase everything they could possibly need.
The only thing the boys might miss were their sister and their parents, but Evalynn couldn't grant them everything. She had to ensure that her daughter would survive in the Nest. She went with Hesta to protect her little baby while sincerely hoping her little boys would be fine without her.
More things happened, but Michael and Daniel were deep in thought once they learned the truth. Their mother didn't want to leave them. She thought they would be better off without her. The Nest would have learned about her little boys, potentially tearing them out of their little peaceful life and throwing them into an environment in which they might not survive.
Evalynn's fear of the Nest was real. The fear had diminished drastically since she lived in the Nest with everyone, but it was clear that she wasn't sure whether Michael and Daniel would have fared better in the Nest. Maybe they would have been stronger—and alive—but Evalynn felt that her sons had a better shot at happiness outside the Nest. After all, the Nest was always in danger.
There were always threats around the Nest. They had to fight the Supreme Human Alliance and struggle desperately to stay alive. Every member of the Nest was powerful, but even the strongest powerhouses could die in battle. It was not like they were invincible. Evalynn's father was the best example of that. He was a Divine Lifeform – among the stronger ones – yet he died trying to protect his children.
Only Evalynn Fang and her husband survived. Everyone else met their ill fate. Her father hadn't been powerful enough to protect everyone. He was strong, but there was always someone stronger.
[She didn't want to risk it.] Danny concluded.
Michael merely nodded. He took a step back and nodded faintly in his mother's direction.
"I understand now."
Even though he said he understood, he wasn't sure if their mother made the right decision. Was it really necessary for both their father and mother to leave them alone? Their mother told them that they were old enough to take care of themselves, but that was utter nonsense. Yet, it was obvious that she believed her words to be nothing but the truth.
Eren noticed that he felt a little bit odd after he finished scanning his mother's mind. It was not his business but he didn't feel like wasting his precious time solving the Fang family issues.
"Now that this is solved, let's take care of the important things," Eren pointed out, "I came to this place because of you, but also because we sensed something about the Lesser Human race residing in this galaxy that attracted our interest."Discover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n no𝒗elbi𝒏(.)com
Eren's words attracted Michael's attention.
"It is scarce to find Humans teaming up with other races in the universe. It's a lot more special than you might think. But that is one of the minor points that attracted our attention. The Lesser Humans here have much stronger natural abilities than most races. Even some Higher Races have – on average – weaker Soultraits than the Lesser Humans here."
The term 'Lesser' bothered he quite a bit, but he knew it was a fact. High Society had yet to use their Racial Achievement Points to purchase a DNA enhancement via the Achievement Shop. They had yet to amplify their race's DNA
"That attracted our attention because there has to be a reason for Lesser Humans to be capable of manifesting 7-Star Soultraits. Under normal circumstances, even the manifestation of 6-Star natural abilities shouldn't be possible for members of a Lesser Race. Even 5-Star Soultraits are rare to see. Yet, a simple scan of the Tritan Alliance showed that the Lesser Humans have dozens of Awakened with 6-Star Soultraits and almost a dozen 7-Star Soultraits. That is marvelous!"
Eren was genuinely intrigued as the words spurted out of him.
"Are you saying that something unique about the people here allows them to manifest stronger Soultraits? Is that why the Supreme Human Alliance is so interested in bribing the Descendants to join their mission?" he asked, his headache threatening to torment him.
"The Supreme Human Alliance has more 6-Star natural abilities than many races, but even they don't have enough Awakened with 7-Star Soultraits. There are many, but the probability of Awakening a 7-Star Soultrait is lower compared to the Lesser Humans in this place. The Lesser Humans here have only a single stellar system, yet they have given birth to more than 10 7-Star Soultraits in the last 30 years, whereas the Supreme Human Alliance governs various galaxies only to produce a few hundred 7-Star Awakened in every generation."
Michael swallowed hard. A few hundred may sound like a lot, but it was an insignificant number compared to the vast population of the Supreme Human Alliance.
It was merely a grain of sand in the ocean.
The Lesser Humans of the Tritan Alliance were far more instead. They were a sand of grain in an hourglass.
It was still not a lot, but still better than the Supreme Human Alliance by dozens of times.
"So that's why they're so interested in this place," he mumbled.
'Fuck…'

[A/N: Today's Chapters might be a little bit boring, but they're necessary for character development and world-building. Nothing much happens, yet the subtle pieces of information added in both Chapters will help you learn a lot about the world/universe. Let's hope that the following chapters will be a little bit more interesting...maybe I've already planned something big? Who knows? Obviously, I do, but will I tell anyone? No~]
