Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 858  Rudy's Offer

He paused, allowing his words to sink in. The weight of their decision hung in the air. "I offer you an alternative. Stay with us, in my dynasty. It is a secluded haven, shielded from the prying eyes of those who seek to harm you. Here, you can find a new family, support, and the chance to rebuild your lives."

Silence enveloped them as the gravity of Rudy's words settled upon them. The humans exchanged glances, their hearts torn between a longing for their families and the realization of the risks involved. Slowly, one by one, they nodded, their resolve strengthened.

"I know most of you volunteered on the super gene experiment and they provided you a win-win deal that you could not reject. However, that was nothing but a lie. Your family wasn't given a single penny, and they were told that you had died.

Not only that, but they didn't provide the so-called dead body to your family since you weren't dead, but alive. They were made to believe that you had agreed to donate your organs or use your body for research purposes so they could find the cure of the cause of your death.

While some of you might have been kidnapped and brought here by other means." Rudy took a short pause and continued, "You might be wondering how do I know something like that? Because I was one of you.

I was in the same situation. I had gotten into a terrible accident, but now I wonder if that accident was on purpose or it was a coincidence. Perhaps it was all planned, and they chose the most compatible humans as test subjects.

That would make sense, since there shouldn't have been any trucks during the daytime. I had made sure the signals were right. Also, I would love to hear your stories and how you were trapped in being the test subjects.

However, we are short on time. The organization could send their back up so we should leave as soon as possible. I want you to make a quick decision. If you want to endanger your loved one's life, then you can choose to leave. You have your freedom."

"I choose to join you," one of the humans spoke, her voice steady. "I cannot risk endangering my family. Here, with you, I see a chance for a new beginning."

"But what about our loved ones?" someone asked. "What if they are in need and going through hardships?"

"I can provide them money from time to time if that's your concern," Rudy responded.

"If we join you, can you also bring my family to stay in your dynasty?" another asked. "That way, we don't have to be away from them and their lives won't be in danger either."

"I can't do that." Rudy shook his head and continued, "There are hundreds of thousands of you. If I agree to bring one of your family, the others will ask the same. I already promised that I will be equal to all of you, so I can't favor one of you over another."

Others followed suit, their convictions aligning with the realities they faced. They saw in Rudy a leader who could guide them towards a future free from fear and persecution.

Rudy smiled, gratitude and respect shining in his eyes. "You have made a wise choice. Together, we will forge a path forward, a united front against those who have sought to harm us. Welcome to our dynasty, where you will find safety, prosperity, and the chance to rebuild your lives."

He addressed them with a voice filled with unwavering resolve. He spoke of a future where all beings, regardless of their origins, could coexist in harmony. He spoke of a world where the powers they possessed would be wielded not as weapons, but as tools for healing and progress.

The test subjects and mythical creatures listened intently, their hearts filled with newfound hope. They had witnessed Rudy's power firsthand, but they had also witnessed his compassion and the depths of his empathy. They believed in his vision, for it resonated with the core of their being.

With renewed purpose, Rudy declared that they would forge a society where the strength of their combined abilities would be used to uplift and protect the weak. Together, they would dismantle the remnants of the clandestine facility and expose the truth to the world. They would fight for justice, for the rights of all beings, and ensure that no one would ever endure the horrors they had suffered.

Rudy hovered in the air to capture what he had achieved today. His attack was personal, and he had never felt better about using his powers than he did that night.

The battle was won; the facility reduced to ruins. Rudy's powers, now at their zenith, had paved the way for a new era—one where hope would replace despair, and where justice would prevail over oppression. And as he stepped into the wreckage, Rudy embraced his destiny, ready to face any challenge that awaited him, for his powers had transcended the boundaries of imagination, and he was truly limitless.

"Now it's time… to test a new power. Grand… summoning."

Rudy hovered in the center of a vast open space above the beings of myths and the human test subjects, his eyes focused and his hands raised towards the sky. As he channeled his immense cosmic powers, the air grew heavy with anticipation.

SNAP!

He was surrounded by a circle of intricate symbols, and sigils etched into the ground. His eyes glowed with a radiant energy as he raised his arms, palms open to the heavens above.
