The Mech Touch - Chapter 7199

Ves rarely interacted with his mother these days.

Whether it was himself in the Red Ocean or Veronica in the Milky Way, the Oblivion Empress liked to be aloof and spend her precious time on her own plots and schemes.

Ves understood it. Ever since he resurrected her, she became a True God, a transcendent existence who perceived reality in a very different fashion than ’mortals’ like himself.

It was as if she lived in a four-dimensional universe while lesser beings were still confined to a three-dimensional universe.

Even if their living spaces overlapped, their perspectives diverged too much to attain mutual understanding.

A part of Ves hated it because his mother knew so much. She could help him avoid so many detours and gain much greater power at the fraction of the price. If she wanted to, she could use her superior might and understanding to quickly tutor him and rapidly rise to power just like she had done with his eldest sister Helena.

Yet another part of Ves felt grateful that this scary energy-based life form that just happened to share a parental relationship with him kept her distance. She was an objectively horrible person who definitely shared the same opinions about humans as the Ascended Giants. She was the product of a very distorted culture and society that placed ordinary humans at the very bottom of society.

This was not the kind of person that Ves wanted to befriend. As a child who grew up in an ordinary modern civilized state, he could never accept how Cynthia Larkinson treated ordinary humans like slaves. She had no respect for their intrinsic human rights and was not above sacrificing them to further a greater goal.

Ves and Cynthia could never align their philosophies with each other. They clung tightly to their own worldviews, for the way they perceived reality defined all of their behavior.

If not for the current crisis, Ves would have never thought about summoning the Superior Mother.

He knew that if the ancestral spirit arrived, his Cynthia would definitely grow curious enough to descend upon her external incarnation.

Ves knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that his mother had allocated enough of her attention to him to judge his situation.

He could feel her presence scrutinizing everything. She did not bother to hide her powerful influence as her incarnation methodically swept his true body and his Spirituality from top to bottom.

She also scanned the surroundings, paying special attention to the scuffed but largely uninjured Oscillating Fist.

What was strange was that time appeared to have slowed down by a factor of at least a 100.

Everything moved so much slower that they almost appeared frozen.

It did not take much guessing that his mother was responsible for this effect. It appeared she wanted to reserve plenty of time to lecture him in person.

Though Cynthia had yet to voice her judgment, Ves couldn’t help but feel like he had turned into a little boy again. Even if she was limited by her incarnation and the restrictions of her current descent into Blinky, her exquisite mastery of E energy allowed her to utilize it in a much more efficient manner than he thought possible!

If Ves routinely wasted 80 to 90 percent of the potential of E energy, then a True God like the Oblivion Empress could easily reduce her waste below 10 percent or even more!

While Ves was only able to observe and understand a fraction of her wizardry, he became profoundly impressed by her effortless mastery.

Her comprehension and skills were so much greater than his own that he felt like a complete amateur in front of his mother!

All of his experimentation may have unlocked a lot of interesting new possibilities himself and others, but the refinement and sophistication of his methods left much to be desired.

He spent too much time and effort inventing new stuff and not enough time on refining his existing ones.

While Ves did not necessarily regret his decisions, his mother’s demonstration of power reminded him that he had neglected a few options because he did not spend enough time on refining his existing applications.

As his mother patiently completed her survey, her glowing incarnation addressed his other self first.

""

""

It appeared that the Dark Apostle inherited Ves’ fear and deference towards his mother.

Ever since she descended onto Blinky, the Ascended Giant lost all of his confidence and grew as meek as a harmless sheep.

It was as if he came face-to-face with an apex predator. Everything in his bones told him that there was no way he could resist the True God even if she only diverted a fraction of herself to this site.

The Superior Mother’s lips curled with intrigue. She appeared amused at how Ves’ current condition.

""

The Dark Apostle did not hesitate for a single moment. ""

Ves grew incredibly jealous at how easily his mother secured the Dark Apostle’s submission and obedience.

If he was as strong as her, he could have gotten rid of his alternative personality a long time ago!

Why did she not do so?

Why did she look at his unwanted foreign self and embrace him as a son?

Shouldn’t she be horrified that an intruder had occupied his true body and seek to purify him so that he regained full control over his body again?

Cynthia knew exactly what he was thinking. The Superior Mother occupied the same vessel as herself.

He could feel her attention drifting towards her original son.

"You must be wondering why I am not doing what you are fantasizing in your mind."

"Ehhh..."

""

The Superior Mother smiled as if she was reminiscing about her own childhood.

Ves simply felt shocked at how she nonchalantly dismissed his very serious condition!

Even if she had no intention of dealing with the Dark Apostle, she could at least voice more sympathy!

The Superior Mother shook her head and tutted. ""

In other words, it was totally his fault that he ended up stuck with the Dark Apostle.

"" She continued to admonish Ves. ""

???

What the hell was she talking about?

Seeing that Ves did not understand her message, she dumbed down her explanation.

""

What?!

His mother was crazy!

"Wait, doesn’t that contradict your earlier statement about never harming your own family?"

"" Cynthia delicately said. "

"Really?"

""

The Superior Mother nodded. ""

In other words, she was fine with almost every possible outcome!

While the Dark Apostle clearly grew ecstatic at this news, Ves felt betrayed by his own mother.

Did she not want him anymore?

"" The True God directly stated to him. ""

"I can hardly imagine."

"" She said in a heartless tone. ""

Ves almost felt like fainting when she uttered those words. He truly could not understand what was going on in her crazy mind. Her norms and values were so alien to him that it was difficult to imagine that she used to be a human!

"Is this how you view your own family? Is it too much to ask for you to divorce your ideology from your family."

"" She said as the Superior Mother looked at him with judgment. ""

A horrifying realization dawned on Ves’ mind.

"Are you saying... you devoured my birth mother?"

"" She declared. ""
