In A wasteland, somewhere in the Moonlight Empire:
Maximus silently looked at Liam not resisting the formation array.
“What do you want?” He asked.
He thought Liam was the same as Maxine, wanting to do something with him.
“Don’t you miss us?” Liam frowned at his unusual father.
“Miss? Why would I miss you?”
It’s only been a thousand years, how could he miss them in such a short period of time?
“It seems that something is really wrong with you…” Liam frowned.
He had read in the past that those who mastered the Amalgamation of Will have some shift in their personalities.
Using the Will of people could also taint you with them.
His father should have lost control while in seclusion.
“Nothing is wrong with me,” Maximus shook his head.
“Now if you’ll excuse me…”
“Wait!”
“What?”
“I’ll take you to see others,” Liam said coldly.
“If you can,” Maximus didn’t care and mobilized his domain to teleport out.
Suddenly, he noticed something wrong with his domain.
However, before he had time to investigate, a foot came to his face.
Frowning, Maximus easily blocked the attack.
Snap~
“How so?” Liam muttered with shock.
Although it was not his all-out power, seeing his father easily block his them, he frowned.
Wanting to test his strength, Liam continued to attack.
However, to his surprise, his father was like a bottomless abyss.
No matter what attack he threw, it would vanish like a puff.
Mobilizing the essence of law and his special physique, he finally saw a result: his father, who had been blocking his attacks until now, was knocked back.
“Is that it?!” Liam smiled excitedly.
Since he was a child, Liam dreamed of defeating his father.
However, time and time again, his father proved that he was invincible.
Seeing him being knocked back helplessly, Liam continued to attack, he even forgot his intentions.
Meanwhile, Maximus was having a hard time.
Although he could parry Liam’s attacks, he couldn’t counter or even immobilize Liam.
He either had to dodge or block them.
Fortunately, he had studied the essence of law of the Etherium Realm to proficiency.
Besides being a little disgraced, there was not even sweat on his face.
After a few minutes of having fun beating his father, Liam calmed down and suddenly noticed his father not using the Amalgamation of Will.
“Why aren’t you using the Amalgamation of Will, father?”
This was his father’s trump card; with it, fighting with an Apex Sovereign like him should be no problem.
Yet now, seeing he couldn’t even fight back, Liam’s doubt grew deeper.
Did his father really lose control with the Amalgamation of Will?
“Amalgamation of Will?” Maximus cast a doubtful glance.
Retrieving the information about the Amalgamation of Will, he was stunned.
“My memories are blocked?”
Besides a few pieces of information about the Amalgamation of Will, he couldn’t find anything about it, much less use it.
Seeing Liam’s expression, he should be able to use it.
Yet now, no matter how deeply he searched, there was no such thing in his memories.
Suddenly, various doubts began to emerge in his mind.
He had been wondering where the energy the system used for him to comprehend knowledge; now it should be this Amalgamation of Will.
Furthermore, he just noticed his domain was different.
It was infinitely expanding like the origin of the world.
In his domain, he was omnipotent and omniscient.
Yet before seeing it, he had no memories of how he mastered it.
Deeply reviewing the life experience of ‘Maximus Shadowcrest,’ he was shocked to find a few missing nodes.
Some time was skipped or didn’t make sense at all, as if it was manipulated.
“Am I not me anymore?” He frowned.
Although he was rational, something should have changed within him.
Otherwise, there would be no phenomenon of his memory being tampered with.
Meanwhile, Liam, seeing his father questioning his existence, heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that his father still had some self-control.
Perhaps he only needed some stimulation and some time to go back to normal.
“How about we return to the castle first, Father? Mother Isabella should be back from the abyss.”
His mother Isabella had also reached tier 9 and was stationed in the abyss, helping Lux manage their properties.
As for his other mothers, brothers, and sisters? They were in seclusion.
A thousand years ago, they were notified by their father that something went wrong and he would need to go into seclusion for an indefinite amount of time.
Initially, they thought it was nothing, after all, their father had always been omnipotent in their minds.
However, as years, decades, and centuries passed, they nearly fell into despair thinking they would never see Maximus again.
However, believing in him, they could only wait.
Still, to numb themselves, they went into seclusion one after another.
After coming back to his senses, Maximus agreed to Liam.
The source of all his confusion should be his ‘Origin.’
It had been chaotic since he could remember.
He noticed that as he interacted with these so-called family members, his ‘Origin’ began to calm down as if being soothed.
His rational mind told him that the solution to his problem should be with them.
….
In the Imperial Castle,
After a few days of tumbling around and investigating his ‘Origin’, he finally saw Isabella.
“Husband!” Isabella teared up, throwing herself to Maximus.
Maximus initially wanted to be perfunctory, however, as he thought so, his ‘Origin’ seemed to want to explode, warning him to be careful.
Following his instinct, he could only reluctantly hug Isabella back.
Seeing this, Liam heaved a sigh of relief.
He was worried that his father would continue his cold attitude toward his mother.
Seeing his father’s instinct was still there, a smile unknowingly appeared on his face.
After having enough, Isabella turned to look deeply at her husband.
Seeing his eyes, bottomless like an abyss, Isabella frowned.
She seemed to see her husband drowning in the abyss beneath those very eyes.
Touching his face, Isabella nearly teared up.
“Don’t worry, I will cure you immediately,” she murmured.
Hearing this, although Maximus didn’t feel anything, he saw his ‘Origin’ greatly calm down.
…
Soon the days continued to pass.
While Maximus was investigating his lost memories, trying to fix his chaotic ‘Origin,’ Isabella was trying everything to ‘cure’ him.
Unfortunately, so far, no effect can be seen.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Maximus continued to comprehend knowledge, albeit intermittently.
Maxine was like a restless curse who kept disturbing him.
After finding that he could condense more delicious food than she could buy outside, this little kid clung to him like a koala.
Maximus needed to condense new food every day just to satisfy this little girl’s appetite, wasting his time.
On one of the days he was working to satisfy Maxine, a visitor came.
“Uncle Lux! You’re here!” Maxine shouted excitedly.
This was one of her favorite uncles.
Besides being rich, her uncle also had a lot of delicious food.
“Little Maxine, how are you? Have you gotten a little fatter recently?” Lux smiled, picking up Maxine.
“No, this is just baby fat!” Maxine said cutely.
“Hehe, anyway, where’s your welcome gift, Uncle?”
“You greedy little girl, here,” Lux said, taking out a packet of assorted food.
“Thank you, Uncle~,” Maxine said, kissing Lux’s cheek.
“Hmm. Take me to your senile Grandfather.”
“Grandfather is not senile; he was more energetic and handsome than Uncle,” Maxine said with a pout.
The one who gave her the most delicious food was the most beautiful, no matter what.
Speaking of this, she couldn’t help but remember her grandmother, Erica.
When she was born a few years ago, her grandmother exited her seclusion and cooked her a banquet every day.
Drooling, she couldn’t help but lick her lips greedily.
“You’re thinking about food again,” Lux muttered, pinching her cheek.
“Ah~” Maxine screamed in embarrassment.
Getting out of Lux’s embrace, she dragged Lux to her grandfather.
Seeing his father, Lux couldn’t help but be emotional.
“Father!” Lux bowed.
“Hmm,” Maximus just nodded nonchalantly.
“Father, I heard about your condition. Have you tried using the Myriad World Mall to see if there is a solution?” Lux asked.
Before his father went into seclusion, he gave them a single copy of the Myriad World Mall, making them aware of its existence.
As for the one who bounded the system, the chosen one was Lux.
He was the best one of them when it came to managing money and making it grow.
Having the Myriad World Mall was like giving a tiger its wings.
This also propelled him to amass enormous wealth pushing him to become an Apex Sovereign.
Meanwhile, hearing another term that was not present in his memories, Maximus frowned.
“Myriad World Mall?”
Looking at his panel, he couldn’t help but doubt if it was in complete form.
[Maximus Shadowcrest:
Status…
System Points…
Knowledge Mall…]
His system only functioned it to see his real-time status, use system points, and buy seemingly infinit knowledge.
As for the Myriad World Mall? He didn’t even know its name.
Just what did he do previously? Furthermore, why seal his memories?
