Chapter 745 Misunderstanding?

Eren inspected Michael's Curses for a long time, but there was more to it. Without warning, he pressed his hands against Michael's back and poured some of his silver energy inside. for new novels

Michael stiffened and tried to move aside. Unfortunately, Eren's silver energy channeling into him restrained his movements. The World Serpent hissed in Michael's mind and deactivated the Serpent Seals to enter temporary hibernation. Nobody could sense the World Serpent's physical body within Michael for a few minutes. All they could feel was that there was a ginormous serpent – a Curse – inside him.

Eren retracted his energy after a while, releasing Michael once again.

"What the hell was that about?!" Michael asked in anger, but Eren merely smiled.

"I noticed something and wanted to check it out," He pointed out, taking Michael by surprise.

'Did he sense the World Serpent?'

Michael was unsure if he had to hide the World Serpent from the Nest as well, but since the World Serpent concealed itself, he figured he should help it a little bit. The World Serpent had already helped him a lot.

"Is asking for permission that difficult? You can do whatever you want because you are strong enough. I understand that sentiment. However, just because you're a Divine Lifeform doesn't mean you should do whatever you want, especially not if you want to establish an amiable connection," He cursed quietly.

Eren didn't respond to Michael's complaints. He merely studied the young Lesser Lifeform with a tinge of curiosity before he said, "You have the Essences of other races inside you. Your Subordinates must trust you a lot if they're willing to split their Essences with you."

The Supreme Human ALliance could remove Michael's Curses and accept him into their rows, but they would loathe him for accepting the Essences of the Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs. It tarnished his bloodline and transformed him into an enemy of the Supreme Human Alliance. The Essence that strengthened Michael would turn him into a target of the Supreme Human Alliance – if his Curses were not enough reason to hunt him down now that Bloodhound failed to purge them.

"Is that a problem?" Michael asked, his eyes narrowed to a slit.

"Of course not. It's rather beneficial for the Nest. We know that you won't switch sides. After all, the Supreme Human Alliance would never accept you," Eren smiled at Michael, who nodded slowly.

"That makes sense...I guess," He mumbled, "But why is someone from the Nest here in the first place? I took care of Danny's Curse early enough. There shouldn't be a reason for anyone to come here. The Curse has been removed from the Living Soul and devoured by my Curses right after. I have enough control of my Curses as well. I don't think I need the Nest."

Michael couldn't hide his prejudice against the Nest. They might have helped his sister when she ascended to a Higher Lifeform—Michael was unsure about that—but their actions tore his family apart. Of course, his parents were also at fault for that since they didn't bring him and his brother to the Nest either. That didn't mean only one party was at fault. Both the Nest and their parents were at fault for the brothers' suffering.

Evalynn broke down, but Eren rolled his eyes. He looked at Michael, whose attention was pulled away from his mother as well.

"Your grandfather was a powerful man, but he was obsessed with your mother and the continuance of the Fenrir bloodline. He wouldn't allow anyone from the Nest to come for aid. I guess that's why he exaggerated how 'bad' the Nest is. Of course, that doesn't mean we aren't strict and that our training doesn't hurt. But I guess you understand how hard it is to learn how to control your Curse. You have to learn to control your Curse in every possible situation. That requires training – special training."

Michael frowned deeply, "So...it was all a misunderstanding?"

Eren scrunched his nose for a moment and shrugged.

"The Nest is a place for all Cursed Children and Curse Users. We protect their families as well if they need protection. We rescue Cursed Children who awaken their Curses without any preparations. That's why we picked up Hesta. If your grandfather was still alive, he would have taken care of Hesta. Alas, he died a while ago. We had to interfere to protect your sister."

He glanced at Evalynn, his lips pressed together tightly.

"The rest, I don't know. Whether you misunderstood your Mother's intention or if you grasped it properly is not my business."

It was the first time Michael had heard anyone speak about their grandfather. For a long time, he had been certain that their family was nothing special. He believed the Curse existed, but he hadn't believed much about it—at least, that was until he manifested his War Rune.

Everything changed after his 18th birthday.

His parents were powerhouses stronger than most members of High Society, and his grandfather was said to be a powerful man. Hearing that from someone like Eren meant that his grandfather had been really powerful.

[What a mess.] Danny cursed in Michael's mind as he organized and digested the new information.

'You don't say,' Michael stated in his mind, rubbing his temples, trying to figure out whether to trust everything his Mother had said or continue doubting her.

[If you cannot trust her... just read her Mind. What's the issue with that?] The World Serpent commented, attracting the brothers' attention.

'Wouldn't that be a bit...too much?' Michael asked, but the World Serpent didn't care regarding his moral compass.

[Does it matter whether you similar_to it or not? If you desire information, you ask her to reveal everything. If she rejects your request, you can decide whether to trust her or remain suspicious of her real intentions.]
