Chapter 991 Rudy's Final Message

As the screen shimmered to life, a hushed reverence settled over the assembled group on the balcony. They were about to witness a message from Rudy, and the air was thick with anticipation. Jane, though wary of the intruder, watched the projection with a mix of sadness and yearning in her eyes.

Rudy, in his stony throne-like form, began to speak. His voice was calm and collected, yet carried a weight of profound sorrow. Every word he uttered was a poignant note that reverberated through the hearts of his harem members.

[So... well, I don't really know what to say except apologize for everything you are going through. When I learned about the true duty of the Lord, I knew how my ending would be. It was never meant to be happy.

I didn't know what would happen to me once I fulfilled the duty. If I didn't, I was afraid that I would lose my powers and someone else would get them who would use them for evil purposes. However, I was recently told that I wasn't the Lord, but someone greater, better and more powerful.]

Tears welled up in the eyes of the girls, each of them struggling with their emotions. Jane clenched her fists, her eyes glistening, clearly tormented by the events that had transpired. The others displayed a complex mixture of grief, understanding, and heartache.

[That came as a surprise since I had no knowledge of that, even after eating the blue moon fruit. And that made me curious to know everything in the universe... if obtaining omniscience is actually possible or not.

Reina, ever the fiercely loyal member of the harem, had tears glistening in her eyes. Her gaze was fixed on the projection of Rudy, her expression filled with a mixture of sadness and devotion. She had been one of the first to join Rudy, and her connection with him ran deep. Ruby, with her cheerful and carefree disposition, found herself sniffling and wiping away a stray tear. Rudy had been a central figure in her life, offering protection and guidance, and the weight of his absence weighed on her. Her emotions were a mixture of nostalgia and hope for the future.

Rize, often contemplative and perceptive, had a pensive expression as Rudy's words washed over her. She knew the complexities of their shared history and the challenges that had defined their relationship. [I brought the superhumans and the beings of the other races there, so the dynasty wouldn't feel empty. And I... am sorry. I am sorry I wasn't there for any of you in my last moments. I wish I had spent them with you all.

And Maria, congratulations on giving birth to twins. I don't know if they are listening to this, but if they are, please let them live a normal life. There is no gain in becoming the strongest or achieving everything if you have to sacrifice your happiness in its stead. It's not worth it.]

Tears streamed down Maria's cheeks as Rudy addressed her, congratulating her on the birth of twins. Her heart was heavy, hearing these words from the statue of the man she loved. Mary and Reed, the twins, were too young to understand the gravity of the message. Still, their innocent eyes followed the luminous image of their absent father, as if seeking the comfort of a presence they could never know.

[Mary and Reed, you have never seen me but you probably know how I looked like. Handsome, right? I don't know how you two look like, but I am sure Mary will grow up to be a beautiful woman, just like your mother. And Reed will become a handsome prince, just like me.

I am sorry I was never there for you. You might hate me, and that's understandable. But please take care of your mothers and everyone you love. I will be—]

The footage ended abruptly as everyone was left curious as to what Rudy was about to say.
