Esper Harem in the Apocalypse
chapter-143

Rudy landed on the edge of the volcano and enjoyed the heat coming from it. To him, the heat from the raging lava felt like the steam of warm water.

"I was aware of the physical resistance of my body, but I am honestly surprised by this. I guess I should have checked my limits as soon as I got my powers."

Rudy gazed at the raging volcano with a lifeless glare in his eyes and said, "If this can't hurt me… what can?"

Still, Rudy had no way to know the limits of his powers. In fact, he was genuinely perplexed but very certain at the same time about his powers.

"There is no way that I got these powers with that gene experiment. That makes no sense."

Rudy controlled the eruption of the volcano with his finger using his pyrokinesis, just like one controls a machine with a remote.

"I have been thinking about this for days now, but now, I am sure. First of all, how can a gene experiment send me back in time? It sounds factually impossible," Rudy muttered.

'The gene experiment was done on my body, and that body died with me when I somehow came back in time. Even if genes could affect the brain and might give powers like super strength, or maybe even telekinesis. But going back in time?'

Rudy shook his head and continued, "That's impossible."

"The concept of time itself and the rules abiding by it is something no one has ever been able to understand. And let's just say that the gene experiment did give me the power to go back in time, but I didn't go back in time; I came to another world, or so I think. Because there weren't the apocalypse, fairies, and such things in my world. Or maybe… I was simply oblivious to all that?"

"But how am I going to explain the abandoned tunnel? Even though I rarely left my town, I should have at least heard about it. And what about the apocalypse? That never happened in my past life, and I am damn sure of it."

"In my past life, I spent those 5 years doing… huh?" Rudy raised his brow and muttered, "What happened in my world in those 5 years? Why can't I remember it? I remember Everything except that 5-year blip…"

"So if I didn't get powers by the gene experiment, how… did I get them? And what am I exactly?"

Rudy had too many questions piled up, and the mysteries weren't ending. However, Rudy was more than certain that he would find all the answers once he unraveled the first mysteries. He thought that one answer would lead to the discoveries of other questions.

Still, right now, Rudy had something else to take care of.

Rudy landed on the ground where the Lava hadn't reached yet. Then, he touched the flowing lava spreading in the area and used pyrokinesis to control it.

"I have to stop this eruption or who knows how much it might spread," He muttered. "Since I am the one who caused it, I am responsible to stop it."

However, creating a volcanic eruption was a lot easier than stopping it.

Rudy had to cool down, or at least lower the temperature of the crust that was in the core of the earth.

"Yeah, I don't know how to do it…"

Instead of stopping the volcanic eruption, Rudy thought of something else.

"Why should I try to calm it down when I can simply cool it down?"

Rudy was going to use Cryokinesis, which allowed him to create and control ice at will.

Sure, he could calm down the volcano without using Cryokinesis, but that would have taken him more time than it would take him to freeze them.

He wanted to take care of the volcano and visit Scott, to send him to hell.

Rudy jumped in the air and hovered between the raging volcano. Then, he raised his hands in the air and spread them.

Soon, the air in the area turned cold, and the lava immediately turned into layers of rocks with the speed of light.

In a few seconds, all the volcano had frozen, but Rudy didn't stop there. He kept going until the snow covered the mountains, and soon, the entire area turned from hell to heaven.

"..."

Rudy lost his strength and fell to the ground. Since the snow had covered everything, Rudy was buried under the snow.

There was silence, but a sharp wind sound echoed in the air that sounded similar to a howl.

Rudy's hand emerged from the snow, and then he sat up with his eyes wide open.

"This was my first time using this much telekinesis." Rudy placed his hand on his hand and uttered, "But surprisingly, I don't feel mentally stressed; just a little tired."

Rudy jumped in the air and stared at the scenery for a few minutes to make sure the volcanoes had truly calmed down. He didn't want them to erupt again and cause earthquakes and destruction.

But luckily, the mountains were deserted and no one went there because it was impossible to go there. They had to pass through many hills, valleys, caves, and narrow pathways to go there. Unless, of course, they used a helicopter.

But why would someone go there?

Sure, they would have caught the frequencies of volcanic eruptions, but that's exactly why they would want to stay away from there for at least a few days. Furthermore, Rudy had already taken care of the damage he had caused.

Even if someone decides to come there, they would be left baffled and a new myth would be born.

Rudy looked at his hands before looking up at the sky.

"It's so calm and soothing; just like how it was when I took my last breaths in my past life. This world is a great place with unimaginable mysteries waiting ahead for us. So why do they don't take care of it?"

"Well, time to hunt another prey."

After saying that, Rudy soared through the sky to punish his prey. He visited Scott as a grim reaper to take his life.
