The Lord Is Too Overbearing

Chapter 249 Unexpectedly Unexpected (2)



‘What in the world is happening?’ By the time Basil regained his composure, he immediately frowned as he found the situation extremely peculiar.

He believed everything had been a coincidence, given what he was capable of, and strongly denied the possibility of what had happened did happen.

“My son… Come here, let me see you closer.”

Basil’s heart immediately clenched as he saw Maya tried to extend her hand that was already nailed to the cross as if she wanted to hold him.

He remained firm on his opinion that everything was nothing but a coincidence however, at least, until he saw what one of the man was trying to do to his mother.

“Has she finally lost her mind?”

“Hah! No wonder she has been quiet for all this time!”

The room was soon filled with the laughter of the men. One of the men looked at Maya when he had done laughing, raised his leg, then aimed his foot at her face.

As a Priest, of course, he didn’t posses much power, but considering the current state of Maya, she would feel a quite significant pain if his foot hit her face. Luckily though, the man’s foot failed to land on her face.

“Huh? What has just happened?”

The man was extremely confused as he found his foot landed just a few centimeters away from Maya’s head. At this point, Basil was already beside him, and he was lucky he couldn’t see the terrifying look on Basil’s face.

Basil had been the one who had intercepted the man’s foot. He felt slightly excited at the fact that he could affect this reality, and he regretted he didn’t cut the man’s foot earlier.

Noticing that none of the men could see him even though he could affect the reality, Basil fully intended to kill all of the men. Unfortunately however, even before he could take out his sword, his mother called him once again.

“No, my son! Don’t kill them! You can’t mess with the history!”

Basil stopped his Mana flow to his Spatial Bracelet then turned his head slowly to his mother. His murderous eyes sank down calmly as he looked at her, before he violently pushed the Priest beside him backwards.

The Priest was thrown away like a bullet, and it horrified the other Priests inside the room, who were extremely baffled at the scene they were witnessing.

They immediately chased after the Priest who had just been thrown away, leaving Maya alone in the center of the room.

“You are rebellious, aren’t you?”

Maya looked at Basil, slightly dumbfounded at what he had done, but Basil barely reacted to her. He merely took his sword out of his Spatial Bracelet, then put it on her neck.

“Who are you?”

“Maya Pacifer, your mother.”

“I don’t have a mother.”

Basil’s hand slightly trembled when he noticed the look of hurt on his mother’s face, and he quickly sighed as he was finally sure he could really interact with his mother. Retracting his sword, he stabbed it into the floor beside him afterwards.

‘So, this is my mother? … She should be my girlfriend’s mother.’ Basil looked at his mother as he mused about how familiar she looked to another amazing woman he was close with—Iliana.

He knew however, Iliana was the one who resembled his mother. His mother had been Iliana’s role model—it was not uncommon for one to have a desire to resemble the person one admired.

“Are you thinking about your lover?”

“…”

“It seems I’m right.”

Basil blinked his eyes at how his mother could figure out what he had been thinking, but then was reminded of the connection he felt with his mother. He instantly deduced that was why his mother had been able to figure out what he had been thinking.

‘Talking about being connected… Maybe, our Pacifer Seal is the reason.’ As Basil looked at his mother’s Pacifer Seal, he tried to think of an explanation of what was currently happening to him.

He still believed that he was still in a hyper-realistic artificial reality created by the Guide, but as soon as he remembered what his mother had said when had been about to kill one of the Priests, his eyes immediately widened in bafflement.

“Am I really in the past…?” He turned his gaze to his mother.

“You are not really here, but you are indeed in—what are you doing?”

As soon as he heard Maya was about to give a positive answer to him, he immediately pulled out all of the nails nailing his mother’s limbs to the cross. His mother was was confused, but she didn’t stop him.

Basil immediately enveloped his mother in his embrace when all of the nails were pulled out, and murderously gazed at the seven Priests watching him and his mother from afar.

He was still invisible to their eyes, so they could only watch the scene of Maya floating in the air in horror and bafflement.

“I am sorry, but you can’t change a thing—you can’t save me. Everything happens for a reason, and you can’t change the moment you are not living.”

“I know. I just want to feel my mother’s warmth … Or the lack of it.”

Maya quirked her eyebrow, then smiled in amusement. “You really have a bad sense of humor, don’t you?”

“Like my father?”

“No. You don’t resemble him at all.” Maya faintly shook her head in Basil’s embrace. “You don’t even resemble me—ah, but don’t worry, you are still our son.”

Basil smiled faintly, then brought his mother’s body slightly away from him so he could see her face again. His mother gave him a smile the moment he did that, and he wiped the tears off her eyes afterwards.

“Where am I?”

“You are currently in a place similar to Dreamland. You normally can’t interact with anyone when your soul is in that place, but you can interact with me because you have a Pacifer Seal … A special one at that!”

“What does it do?”

His mother slightly pouted at his lack of reaction—she had expected him to be surprised when she said he had a special Seal—but still immediately answered his question.

“Pacifer Seal allows you to Cultivate your soul, travel in your soul, and pour your soul into anything.”

“Can I nurture a Sword Soul that originates from my soul with the help of the Seal?”

“No, silly.” His mother laughed softly. “You can just pour your soul into your sword with the help of Pacifer Seal, and your sword will posses a greater ability than the greatest Sword Soul has!”

Basil developed a glint in his eyes as he finally found a way to get rid of the annoying Vagus. He had been reluctant to cast her away since she helped him greatly, but now that he had found a better replacement for her, he didn’t need to hesitate anymore.

“Oh, my. I know what you are thinking, but I won’t forgive you if you dump that girl. She is doing her best for you—you can’t treat her that coldly.” Maya frowned as he looked at Basil. “Furthermore, dumping her is the same as denying a part of you.”

Basil hummed to himself as he contemplated about how his mother could figure out the existence of Vagus even though he didn’t say a thing about her. From how she worded it, she also knew that Vagus was currently evolving—he was surprised.

His mother became more amazing and scarier the more he spent his time with her, and he couldn’t help but wonder whether every Maha Dmitra in Pacifer Clan was like her.

His eyes turned to his mother’s Seal, and she seemed to get what he was thinking … Again.

“Every Pacifer is sensitive to Soul. Seeing that you have awaken your Seal, you must have realized that you can understand people better, haven’t you?” Basil nodded his head, and Maya continued, “That is also the reason why I know you have another soul residing in you.”

Basil nodded his head in understanding then asked the next question he had been wanting to ask.

“What about what is happening? You say that I am not here, but how can I interact with you? Is this another ability of Pacifer Clan?”

“Indeed it is.” Maya nodded her head. “What currently is happening however, is not you interacting with me, but me interacting with you.”

“Pardon?” Basil quirked his eyebrow at how roundabout his mother’s explanation was.

“The reason why you can interact with me is because I am letting your consciousness possess a part of my soul by the help of the connection we build through our Seal. It seems like you are interacting with me, but technically, I am just interacting with myself that looks like you.”

Basil was slightly embarrassed to say that he didn’t really get what his mother was talking about, so he quirked his eyebrow to express his confusion instead. He couldn’t help it; he had found out a moment ago he couldn’t ask the Guide about it in his current state.

Luckily, his mother was an understanding person.

“Imagine if you had 10 glasses filled with red water, and you emptied one of them so you could lend that glass to your friend who needed a vessel to pour his blue water in. Once your glass was filled with your friend’s water, would it become his glass?”

“No.”

“That is what is happening to us currently.”

Basil finally got what his mother was talking about and he couldn’t help nodding his head in appreciation at how good his mother dumbing things down. He could easily conclude his incredible intelligence was something he got from his mother.

“If that is the case… How did you know that I needed a vessel? Did you feel my presence?”

“No, I couldn’t feel you until your Pacifer Seal resonated with mine, which is why I have been keeping mine active all the time.”

Basil had just confirmed that his mother was the only person in the room who could detect his presence, but he found another peculiar thing that he couldn’t just ignore.

“Why did you feel the need to keep your Seal active? Did you know something like this would happen?”

“No, I didn’t expect something like this to happen, my son. I’m surprised you can’t figure it out despite possessing a Divine Artefact.” Maya slightly quirked her eyebrow in surprise, then continued, “The God told me to do it.”

At his mother’s unexpected response, Basil’s eyes sank down coldly.
