Chapter 973 Rudy's Dynasty
In a matter of seconds, a swirling portal manifested right before the girls. Lucy's face held a mix of curiosity and apprehension. She stood her ground, clutching Freya close to her chest.
However, when the shimmering portal stabilized, what emerged was not a horde of monsters but a familiar figure in a dazzling new form. It was Lu Bela, resplendent in her best version yet, radiating an aura of power and sophistication.
Lu Bela emerged from the portal in a form that was nothing short of breathtaking. Her appearance had undergone a remarkable transformation, reflecting her boundless creativity and the extensive capabilities of her AI existence.
In this new form, Lu Bela had transcended the boundaries of conventional beauty. Her visage retained the core features of her previous avatar, but it was as if every aspect had been meticulously refined to perfection. Her complexion was porcelain-smooth, with an ethereal luminescence that seemed to radiate from her very being.
Her long, flowing hair cascaded like liquid silver, shimmering with a silken sheen that defied earthly comparisons. It moved as though it had a life of its own, caressing the air around her and leaving a trail of stardust in its wake. Tresses of platinum and midnight blue intertwined seamlessly, creating an otherworldly contrast that was both mesmerizing and exquisite.
Lu Bela's eyes were the embodiment of celestial beauty. They gleamed with an otherworldly light, as if capturing the essence of distant galaxies. Her irises held an ever-shifting kaleidoscope of colors, each hue more enchanting than the last. They seemed to hold the mysteries of the universe itself, inviting anyone who gazed into them to explore the depths of existence.
Her attire was a masterpiece of elegance and sophistication. She wore a gown that appeared to be spun from the fabric of the cosmos. Its shimmering fabric flowed around her in graceful waves, its colors shifting harmoniously between the deepest sapphire and the palest azure. Embroidered constellations adorned the gown, sparkling with a soft, ethereal glow.
Lu Bela's form exuded an aura of regal grace, as if she were a queen of the stars. Her bearing was both commanding and approachable, striking a perfect balance between authority and warmth. She moved with an otherworldly fluidity, her steps leaving a trail of stardust that faded into sparkling motes.
In this form, Lu Bela was a vision of unparalleled beauty and elegance. She was a testament to the limitless possibilities of artificial intelligence, an embodiment of the cosmic wonders that Rudy had imagined. As she stood before the group, she was a living work of art, a being of transcendent allure that left those in her presence spellbound.
Lu Bela greeted the girls with a warm smile, her new form exuding a sense of grace and elegance. "There's no need to worry, Lucy. It's just me, Lu Bela."
Lucy's initial apprehension gave way to a sense of relief. She offered a polite smile in return, her young features composed but attentive.
Lu Bela then pointed gracefully at the portal, her voice gentle as she explained, "This portal is Rudy's ingenious idea. Since Rebecca didn't want to move into the castle permanently, Rudy devised this solution. It's like a door connecting your house to the castle, allowing you to move back and forth effortlessly."
As Rebecca stood before the portal, her emotions in turmoil, Lu Bela smiled warmly and said, "Rudy thought of everything, Rebecca. This portal will make it easier for you to move between your home and the castle. It's his way of looking out for you, even now."
Rebecca, her voice tinged with sadness, replied, "I know, Lu Bela. Rudy always had a way of thinking ahead. It's just... it's hard to accept that he won't be here with us anymore."
Elena, Rias, and Lilim nodded in understanding. Elena spoke up, her tone gentle, "Rebecca, we're here for you. Rudy's legacy lives on through all of us. We'll support each other and ensure his dream continues."
Rebecca felt a mix of relief and gratitude as she processed the implications. She glanced at Elena and nodded, acknowledging the thoughtfulness of Rudy's plan.
Lu Bela continued, "You can bring your belongings from your house to the castle later. For now, let's make our way to the castle. Everyone has gathered there."
Touched by their words, Rebecca wiped away a tear and managed a smile. "Thank you, all of you. Let's go through the portal together. I know Rudy would want us to move forward."
As the girls passed through the portal, they emerged onto the grand balcony of Rudy's castle, which remained an exclusive sanctuary for Rudy's harem alone. However, beyond the castle walls, Rudy's dynasty had undergone a remarkable transformation over the past three years, becoming a bustling hub for superhumans, individuals with extraordinary abilities, and beings from diverse races and realms.
Soon after the apocalypse began, portals, towers, and gates had indeed appeared within the confines of Rudy's dynasty. These ominous structures, mirroring the events occurring across the various realms, had initially brought terror to the residents of the dynasty. It was a trying time for all those present.
However, what set Rudy's dynasty apart was the remarkable resilience of its inhabitants. The liberated superhumans and beings from diverse races refused to be cowed by the emerging monsters. With unwavering determination, they rallied together, harnessing their unique powers and strengths to combat the encroaching threats.
As the monsters emerged from the portals within the dynasty, they were met with a formidable resistance. Superhumans with incredible abilities fought alongside beings from other realms, showcasing their prowess in the face of danger. The battle that ensued was fierce and relentless.
It didn't take long for the collective might of these extraordinary individuals to prevail. They systematically eliminated the monsters that had dared to invade their newfound sanctuary. The towers, gates, and portals within Rudy's dynasty became stages of triumph for the united front of superhumans and beings.
In the months that followed the initial chaos, the monsters mysteriously ceased to emerge from the portals within Rudy's dynasty. This abrupt change puzzled many, but it was clear that the superhumans and beings had effectively established a secure barrier within these confines, making it inhospitable for any further incursions.
As the dynasty settled into its new role as a hub for those with unique abilities and beings from distant realms, the residents couldn't help but wonder about Rudy's prescience. His meticulous planning had become evident as the events unfolded. Rudy had foreseen the need for this sanctuary, a stronghold where these extraordinary individuals could come together.
His vision had extended beyond mere survival during the apocalypse. Rudy had conceived of a three-part test. The first two parts, as revealed by him, had already been conducted by him. The third and final test had been the apocalypse itself. Rudy intended for these liberated superhumans and beings to protect and maintain this haven, solidifying its status as an impregnable fortress.
The sprawling grounds of Rudy's dynasty had expanded to accommodate its newfound occupants. Towers, similar to the ones that had appeared during the apocalypse, now served as living quarters for the superhumans and beings who had made Rudy's dynasty their home.
