Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 255 Powers and Knowledge

Chapter 255 Powers and Knowledge

"Okay, is there anything else I need to know about the true world history?" Rudy asked while looking at Nyxia's body.

For some reason, his eyes couldn't stop looking at her beautiful body as though they were locked.

"If I tell you everything I know, it would take hundreds of years. But tell me, what do you want to know?"

"Well, you told me all that because of the zombie apocalypse. But now that you explained to me the history, I get what you are talking about. According to you, the zombie apocalypse was yet another ritual."

"Indeed."

"But…" Rudy raised his hand in the air and looked at his palm before saying, "I think you are wrong. The super-gene experiment does exist. I can guarantee you that."

"Did you read that somewhere too?" Nyxia scoffed softly.

"No." Rudy's gaze finally moved and looked into Nyxia's eyes. "I was part of that super-gene experiment."

"Oh…" Nyxia lowered her gaze and asked, "Did you receive powers after that?"

"I am not sure. At first, I believed that was impossible since it couldn't grant the powers I had, no matter how advanced the gene experiment was. But now that you said the powers belonged to the other races, maybe I did become a superhuman after the experiment."

Rudy played with the drop of the water on his fingertip, which rolled from his palm, wrist, and between his finger, but he didn't let the drop fall from his hand.

Nyxia glanced at Rudy from the corner of her eyes and uttered, "There is a way to find that out."

"Oh? Let me guess, you will need to make direct contact with me which would require us to do some sort of s.e.xual activity, am I right?" Rudy asked with a judging look on his face.

"That's one way. But I am an ancient vampire. I know the ways and techniques to use my vampire abilities unlike any other. So I simply need to suck your blood. I can also read people's memories by sucking their blood, make them my slave, bind them with a contract, and of course, marry them," she said with a proud and confident look on her face.

"I don't mind. In fact, I want to know too. But give me one reason why I should trust you?" Rudy asked with a judging look on his face. He still had his suspicion of Nyxia.

"..."

"Given how you have constantly been trying to seduce me. What would I do if you make me your slave or bind me with some stupid contract? I would never realize it if you did that. What if you wipe my memories of this conversation? I would never know," Rudy shrugged.

"Fair enough. If I was in your place, I would be thinking the same. I don't even trust my children, so trusting a stranger is surely a big no."

"To be honest…" Rudy moved his gaze from Nyxia's eyes to her twin mountains to her cave before saying, "I am not that curious to know about the origin of my powers. I don't want to get into another mess."

"Let me tell you what happened after all the races were secluded in their own worlds. When the thousand-year-long war occurred, no, even before that up to that point, the Lord used to live within us. Of course, as an incarnation. At that time, an elf was the Lord's incarnation."

"Unlike recent times, the incarnations were also aware that they were the Lord's incarnation. And they could freely use the Lord's unfathomable powers. However, that also changed after a tragic incident…" she muttered in a disdainful tone and a dejected face.

"What happened? Don't keep me in suspense like that. It's bad for my heart," Rudy jokingly said to ease up the mood.

"After all the races secluded in their own worlds, the wars between the races never stopped. It was inevitable. The trust and friendship bonds they had with each other had completely shattered. But that's another story. I want to tell you about the fate of the Lord."

Nyxia splashed her hand in the water and said, "After the incarnation of the Lord died, new incarnations were born throughout the years, all of them aware of from birth. But as they say, when the powers get into the wrong hands, calamity ensues."

"One of the incarnations of the lord went rogue and used his powers to do evil things?" Rudy guessed once again.

Nyxia nodded and said, "The way you are guessing everything makes me worry. Just like how powers shouldn't get into the wrong hands, it's the same about knowledge."

Nyxia pointed her finger at Rudy and said, "You boy, have power, and I am sharing my knowledge with you. I hope you have a good heart, and I don't regret having this lovely moment with you."

Rudy stared at Nyxia with a straight face, but he soon smirked viciously at her, which made Nyxia anxious.

She gulped nervously and asked, "What's with that evil look?

"I feel thrilled when I realize that peoples' lives are at my mercy. I feel… evil?" he wondered.

"That's not something you should admit like this…"

"No, no. You seem to misunderstand something. Just because I think of something or want to do something doesn't mean I would do it. I have no reason to do that. Why would I do that?" he scoffed jokingly.

Nyxia raised her brow and asked, "What if you have a reason?

"I would do it without thinking twice," Rudy answered instantly.

"..."

After seeing the worrisome look on Nyxia's face, Rudy let out a weary sigh and uttered, "Let me ask you something."

"What is the difference between a hero and a villain?" he asked.

"There are many differences. I possibly can't state all of them," Nyxia responded.

"For me, there is only one difference."

"Hmm?" Nyxia raised her brow with a curious and amused look on her face. "And that is?"

What could it be?
