Esper Harem in the Apocalypse-Chaptr 955 Wake Up To Reality
Rudy crashed through the dense forest, his immense power sending shockwaves through the trees. He plowed through the thick foliage, leaving behind a trail of destruction in his wake. The sound of splintering wood and rustling leaves filled the air as he fought to regain his balance.
Breaking through the tree line into the open sky, Rudy's expression twisted into a mask of fury. He had mistakenly assumed that George had exhausted his powers, a miscalculation he wouldn't make again.
With a determined scowl, Rudy adjusted his position mid-air, audibly cracking his neck and shoulders as he readied himself for the confrontation ahead.
In an explosive burst of power, he launched himself back into the sky, a sonic boom emanating from his rapid ascent. The force of his departure obliterated the spot where he had been just moments ago, leaving behind a smoking crater.
Within a heartbeat, Rudy descended upon the remnants of George's house. The final remnants of the once-proud structure were no match for his cosmic might, crumbling to dust as he made his landing.
There, amidst the debris and devastation, Rudy and George locked eyes once more, their gazes filled with a deadly intent. The battle was far from over, and both were determined to emerge victorious, whatever the cost.
George, with beads of sweat forming on his brow, swiftly retrieved two more vials from his pocket. The desperation in his eyes was unmistakable as he consumed the mysterious substance contained within them. As the liquid coursed through his veins, his body underwent subtle yet discernible changes. His skin took on a slightly altered hue, and he seemed to grow more robust and muscular, a physical transformation indicative of newfound strength.
George's movements quickened, and a surge of power coursed through him. With a fierce determination in his eyes, he locked his gaze onto Rudy, who stood before him with an unwavering resolve. George's voice trembled with a blend of fervor and madness as he declared, "Have you ever encountered a scientist willing to experiment on himself? I hold every life in equal measure, even Alice. I'll sacrifice anyone necessary to bring about a perfect world!"
With these words, George unleashed a devastating attack, the energy he channeled surging outward in a cataclysmic explosion. The shockwave from the blast rippled through the area, obliterating houses, buildings, and even parts of the surrounding forest. In that moment, George believed he had found the weapon to defeat Rudy, tenfold more potent than before.
But Rudy, seemingly unperturbed, raised a single finger with casual precision. With a flick, he nullified the entire onslaught of energy generated by George's attack. The once-destructive force dissipated into nothingness, leaving Rudy standing unscathed in the aftermath.
Rudy's voice dripped with unimpressed disdain as he continued to address George. "Are you done playing, George?" he inquired, his tone carrying a sense of finality. "Do you truly believe you, or anyone from your team, or your test subjects can defeat me? I am the Lord, the most powerful being to exist. There is no way a puny human with a helpless dream can win against me."
George's frustration boiled over, causing him to clench his fists and glare at Rudy. He pondered his options, searching for a strategy to outsmart the indomitable being before him.
Rudy's patience wore thin as he released a disappointed sigh. He made his stance clear: "Wake up to reality. Your dream of creating a perfect world is flawed. Nothing ever goes as planned. Do you truly believe that people of the future would look at you as a hero who brought a revolution to the world?" His words hung in the tense air, challenging George's grand vision of a perfect world.
As Rudy's words hung heavy in the air, George found himself grappling with a truth he had yet to confront. He remained silent, his earlier fervor drained in the face of Rudy's unwavering logic.
Rudy continued, his voice measured and resolute, "How many revolutionists are being honored by the current generation? They fought for so many things, they fought for freedom, they fought for the future, but tell me... George, who remembers them and feels thankful for what they did?"
George had no immediate answer.
"You will be treated the same," Rudy asserted. "There will be jokes and false stories about you. Yes, some will think of you as a god, like they currently do, while others will think of you as a madman who wanted to shape the world according to his vision."
Frustrated by Rudy's words, George retaliated, "And what would they remember you as? You are clearly worse than me! You want to destroy the world, not me! You are just a hypocrite kid who has Rudy responded coolly, "So be it. I won't deny anything you say. I don't have to, nor do I care. It doesn't affect me. I know what I am. I don't favor one race over another, while you are killing both humans and beings of other races, just to get what you want. Your goals are selfish while mine aren't. I don't plan to punish one race and spare another. They all will be treated fairly and equally."
George pressed further, "If you mean that, then why did you save the humans and the others from the experiment facility? There was no need for you to do that. If you wanted to stop me and my plans, you could have simply destroyed the entire facility without saving anyone. You could easily do that, so why did you save them?"
Rudy's response was enigmatic as he stayed silent for a moment, scratching the back of his head. He shrugged his shoulders and nonchalantly said, "Let's fight, George. Let's end this. I want to go home and eat something. I am feeling hungry."
As George charged up his energy, anger and frustration seething through him, he retorted, "You say I'm running from answers, but you're running from justice!" With those words, he prepared to unleash another energy beam at Rudy.
Rudy sighed audibly, almost as if he was bored by the repetitive attacks. He taunted, "How many times will you use the same attacks? It gets boring, you know?" A smirk danced on his lips, and he scoffed, adding, "Could it be that this is the only move you can use?"
George's patience snapped at Rudy's mockery. "Shut up!" he yelled, frustration clear in his voice. "So what if I only know this move?!" With that declaration, he unleashed the attack.
However, Rudy had underestimated George's cunning. The attack wasn't aimed at him. As the dust and smoke cleared, Rudy realized with horror that George had used the energy beam as a distraction. George had already made his escape.
Rudy wasted no time. He chased after George, but what he found grown arrogant of his powers!"
made his heart sink. George was targeting Rudy's house, the place where Rebecca and Lucy were peacefully sleeping, unaware of the impending danger.
"I was wondering when you would come!"
George's arrogance knew no bounds as he noticed Rudy's arrival. With a disdainful scoff, he aimed his devastating energy beam at Rudy's house and, without a shred of hesitation, obliterated it into a fiery spectacle right before Rudy's disbelieving eyes. The once tranquil abode of Rebecca and Lucy was reduced to a smoldering ruin, and the shockwaves rippled through the surroundings, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake.
