Chapter 690 Problems (1)

Before going home, Billy decided to give some orders to his Golems. A lot of them died during the previous battles, but of them were still alive and multiplying. Billy wondered if it would come a time they would have all the mana in the world. That would be fine since he could steal their experience and mana. Nevertheless, he ordered them to create tunnels connecting all the dungeons in the demi-humans continent. He did the same to the ones back at home.

After leaving the hideouts, Billy noticed that everyone at his home was training. His wives and kids were training pretty hard.

“Who wants to play with papa?” Billy asked.

“Not now, papa,” Christina said.

“… I guess I will spoil Helen then,” Billy said, looking a bit surprised.

Unfortunately, even Helen ignored Billy, and she was running around the garden while copying Natalie. His family seemed to have turned into a bunch of CrossFit practitioners obsessed with training. That was a bit sad, but it was natural since kids tend to copy their parents and his wives felt that they didn’t help much during the war. Naturally, that couldn’t be further from the truth. They completely protected the cities and towns from the attacks and even fought Zenis and his Hydras.

“I suppose I will fix my armor…” Billy thought. “Since I am being ignored.”

This time, Billy wouldn’t commit the mistake of not making one that could be used for special travels. Still, he wondered when it would be useful… If his guess was right, the next enemies would send their pawns before the big guns. Ultimately, only destroying their civilization would be enough to end the battle. So, Billy would have to leave that planet to his wives and friends.

“They still can grow a lot stronger, so they can fight most enemies, but against people with innate skills like me…” Billy thought.

Billy wondered why Uvish didn’t create an army of soldiers instead of just looking for the perfect vessel to use once every five hundred years. Was he that self-centered or just plain stupid? Nevertheless, Billy couldn’t underestimate the champions of intergalactic civilizations.

While Billy was making his new armor, he wondered what he should do to make sure that the mana inside the relics won’t take over his mind… Usually, the best option would be to just overpower the mana and completely assimilate it before it can influence his mind, but that was unlikely. Those effects were at the max level, after all.

At first, Billy thought of using his own blood and mana to create another layer on the magic items and absorb everything together. However, his mana was completely rejected when he tried to use it like that.

Billy also used his personal domain to see what would happen, but it didn’t work. Too much mana was concentrated on the relic, so he would have to get all of it at once to obtain the skills… That was dangerous. His mind could get overwhelmed by that sheer amount of information and get tired. Thus, becoming easier to manipulate and influence…

In the end, strengthening his mind seemed the best option. Billy considered that using Mental Armor wouldn’t be enough to help him. So, he considered making the skill reach the max level and then see it evolve, but that would take too much time. He also could use the previous tactic of making Rage level up and then transfer the experience, but getting that angry was tiresome.

“I am also hard to please,” Billy thought and then shrugged.

Billy had an idea, what if he used Emotional Control to keep his head cool and refreshed during the whole process? To be safe, he could use skills to make his mind operate automatically alongside Mind Control. However, Billy decided to make another relic to transfer the ability just in case something went wrong.

When he activated both skills, Billy felt like his mind was becoming almost free of all worries. He didn’t go far because he wanted to deactivate them whenever he wished for it, but it felt like he was becoming something else. Once that happened, he began to steal the mana from the relic.

You obtained 5000 experience points.

You obtained 5000 experience points.

You obtained 5000 experience points.

…

It was weird to get those when he didn’t have the ability yet. Nevertheless, Billy kept going until he felt his mind getting overwhelmed by some odd images. Images of someone firing dark spheres and destroying entire cities and armies with them. Images of someone controlling souls and making them enter the bodies of newborn babies. Images of someone watching Earth and controlling the souls of people that suddenly died there… Those were Uvish memories. That was how Zenis learned so much…

Regardless, since he was getting some of his memories, Billy was inheriting some of his wills as well. Still, using Mind Control, Billy managed to separate the memories of the enemy and his memories. Thanks to that, he felt a lot less annoyed…

You have learned Temporal Vision.

Billy sighed in relief. The last part was something that he came up with at the moment since his mind was still a bit clear. Separating the information in several parts of his memory worked really well. Still, it was only possible because he had the right skills to do that, and it would be unlikely that he would have succeeded with that plan in the past.

“I should stop here for today and then slowly train to get used to Temporal Vision,” Billy thought. “It would be nice If I could see things at some points in the past directly, that would give me a lot more intel, but that would be way too convenient.”

Seeing the future was another problem since the future was always changing… Still, when Billy used Temporal Vision, he managed to confirm some things. First of all, he could focus on making the time rewind in his mind for a place or for a person. So, he couldn’t see the past of Uvish since he was more like an entity without a body.
