Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 395: Talking to Mom again! (Pt 2)

"Why should I explain your own possessiveness to you?" Mrs C asked.

"I’m not possessive" Muku denied the claim.

"What would you do if the girls you haven’t made yours yet decided to leave with other men?" Mrs C asked calmly.

"I’d kill the men of course... Okay, I see what you mean" Muku was surprised by how quickly he answered that without hesitation.

"That’s right" Mrs C replied without offering any opinions.

"But they are different. Even though things haven’t been sealed. It was already agreed upon how they were gonna go. So my reaction is understandable" Muku defended himself.

"Okay. But after what you did with Lisa. Do you think you can simply watch as she goes off with another man?" Mrs C asked.

"Of course I ca... Can’t. But I should be able to. Yet, just thinking about it makes me rather angry. What’s wrong with me? Aren’t I too selfish? I clearly know that she did what she did out of perceived necessity not emotions and yet..." Muku started questioning himself.

"Yeah, now you understand just how deeply your bloodline is affecting you. Not only is it feeding your impulsiveness but also your lust, greed, and obsessiveness... Let’s just say, it’s feeding all your negative emotions. Which makes sense considering that it was first triggered by a negative emotion. So its resonance with similar feelings is understandable. You really should look into it before it turns you into a villain. Well, you aren’t a hero, but still..." Mrs C calmly advised.

"Yeah, you’re right. I need to get my act together. But how do I do that? As you said, I didn’t try to use it the first time around. It just happened on its own. So I don’t know where to start..." Muku agreed and asked for directions.

"What do you mean you don’t know where to start? It’s quite obvious to me. You have your erasing gaze right? Use that as the starting point. You’ve only used it so far and never tried to understand it. From now on, try using it while studying it. Don’t just stop at knowing that if you pull the trigger the gun will shoot. You should also know why pulling the trigger leads to shooting. You must know each and every part of the process. The parts involved, everything. And maybe, somewhere along the way, you will understand your bloodline more. Don’t be rushed though. After all, that bloodline of yours is not something to be carelessly messed with. I don’t think I need to tell you this, but that power of yours is beyond special and dangerous" Mrs C advised and warned Muku.

"Thank you mother. I will do just that" Muku replied solemnly.

Even though Mrs C tried her best to sound calm and detached, he could tell that she was expecting a lot from him. And for someone like her to say that his power was special and dangerous with everything she could do... Well, it meant something. Something with roots so deep they seemed endless to the current him.

He had a hunch that it was different all this time. After all, it completely ignored personal strength and erased everything equally... Then there was how Mrs C warned him to never use it in the Beast World...

It was clear to see that his power was on a completely different level from everything else. Even his trump card he could barely understand which was that mysterious Mithril sword...

"Anyway, enough of that. Let’s talk about that new girlfriend of yours now. I can’t wait for the day you have to explain your involvement with her to the others" Mrs C finally got to the topic that was really the most urgent.

"Let’s put that aside for now. I’ll cross the bridge when I get there. Can you tell me what’s going on with her?" Muku replied as he felt a minor headache coming on while thinking about how he was going to explain Lisa to the others.

After all, it was already clear that he couldn’t let her go because of his bloodline... Wait...

"What if I gain control of my bloodline? Will I be able to let her go then?" Muku asked hopefully.

It really would end many future problems if he could do that.

"Wouldn’t it be great if things were that easy? Unfortunately for you, they aren’t. Even if you gained control... Which is literally impossible for the current you or R10 you even. But for the sake of the argument, let’s say you did gain total control... That wouldn’t change what has already happened. The best you can hope for now is not to make any more links with new women otherwise your life might really not be guaranteed anymore. I, as your mother, think it’s great to have a big family since it means more grandkids for me. But I don’t think the girls would be as accepting. So try to have one of them around when you’re meeting women with unknown intentions lest another Lisa pops up" Mrs C replied in gleeful voice.

She was clearly enjoying her son’s plight.

"Sigh. Fine. I guess I’m really screwed huh... And did you just say even R10 me won’t have total control?!" Muku asked something that caught his attention. Even if he had to put aside Lisa’s matter for a bit...

"Yup. It’s not even close actually. That’s how great that power is. Anyway, don’t fret. You don’t need to gain total control of it to gain total control of yourself. You just need to understand it a little bit so that you can stop it from influencing you like it’s doing right now..." Mrs C explained.

"Oh. Okay. If that’s the case, I guess it’s doable. I was worried for a second there..." Muku spoke to himself while calming down.

He was afraid that he’d be under his bloodline’s control for who knows how many years. That would really suck...

"Okay, now let’s really get into it. No more distractions" Muku addressed Mrs C.

"Sure. What’s happening with Lisa is basically the luckiest encounter a person with a weak class can have. It’s so rare that it happens once every one million individuals or so. And her particular case seems to be even rarer as normal cases would have ended already. So it’s safe to say, her encounter is one in a billion or in a few lifetimes if we use mortal human years" Mrs C replied.

"Hmm. Sounds amazing... So what is it?" Muku asked.

"Shut up, and I’ll tell you. Tsk. Even your patience was affected. Anyway, that fruit has three effects. Two are experienced by everyone. But the third is beyond rare. The first effect is healing wounds. Which you experienced the first time you ate it. This works every time you eat it. The second is improving one’s physic. This only works the first time. Which you are very familiar with. And finally, the last effect which is improving one’s class..."

"...." Muku’s eyes widened in surprise and he almost shouted due to the shock. But he managed to hold himself back.

However, Mrs C would have probably understood even if he did shout. After all, one’s class level was basically set in stone from the start until death.

Up to that point, the only method of upgrading one’s class he knew was through getting a fairy. And even that only worked when one was extremely compatible with the fairy, like Elsa. Otherwise, cases like Freya’s, where you got an extra power without any effect on the class were more common...

And fairies weren’t common beings found everywhere like beasts. So that path was reserved for the extremely lucky. Maybe not as lucky as the fruit path from what he was hearing, but very lucky nonetheless...

"Hmm. You managed to stop yourself from shouting. Very impressive. It seems you still have some control after all. Anyway, as I was saying, the fruit very very very rarely improves one’s class. However, that only works for those with classes lower than Pseudo-Legendary. And even among those people, the higher one’s class, the lower the chance. But since weak people rarely come across these fruits in the first place, their chances might as well be equally dismal. Anyway, your little girlfriend was an Epic class Evolver before right?. After the fruit does its work. She’ll at least be one level higher... But from the phenomenon, I think it’s safe to say that she’ll improve by two classes at least. And that will put her directly below Pseudo-Legendary. Which is respectable. At the very least, she wouldn’t feel too inferior to the others. But if she’s lucky, she might catch up. But the chance of that happening is basically nonexistent... However..." Mrs C continued.

"However what?" Muku asked.

"Well, she’s from an alternate timeline. One where everything was completely destroyed because a certain someone lost control. But hey, that timeline was more of a "what if" scenario. So it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the girl went through a tough time there. So her will might be strong enough to last until she meets the requirement to upgrade to Pseudo-Legendary... In fact, let’s do it. Go and tell her to hold on as much as she can and not faint until she really can’t take it anymore. The longer she lasts. The higher the chance of her class improving to Pseudo-Legendary gets..." Mrs C replied.

"... Okay. I’ll go do that. But when I return. We’re going to talk about the alternate timeline bomb you just dropped..." Muku replied then went to speak to Lisa...
