Esper Harem in the Apocalypse-Novel

Chapter 825  Playing With Black Holes

"Isn't this similar to how magnets work? Opposite sides attract and the same sides repulse.'

"Yes."

"It can be stopped by adding a layer."

"It's different for magnets. They have got magnetic fields. Heck, they can even attract the iron."

Rudy suddenly jumped into the air and hovered in the sky.

Lu Bela looked up at Rudy and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I just had an idea, but I am not sure if it will work. I don't want to accidentally destroy the island."

Rudy charged the void ball in his right hand and turned it into a black hole. Then, he moved his left hand void ball towards the black hole to see how they reacted.

As expected, the void ball was devoured by the black hole.

Rudy then created black holes in both hands and as soon as they were conjured, they sucked each other and disappeared.

'Two black holes can nullify each other? I don't think that's supposed to happen. Something tells me that when two black holes collide, they create a bang. So why did these disappear?'

"Hmm~" Rudy hummed in amusement. "Oh! Could it be because they were empty, containing no energy inside them?"

That gave Rudy an idea.

He once again created two black holes, but didn't merge them. He placed them in the sky a few metres apart from one another. Then, he pinched the border of one black hole and pulled a thread out of it.

He connected the string to the second black hole and did the same thing with it to the first black hole. He kept repeating that until he created a structure like a tunnel.

"Now, they won't suck each other. Even if they do, a new black hole will be created automatically, making this an infinite spawn."

He inserted his hand in the first black hole, and it came out from the second one.

"You did it!" Lu Bela exclaimed in joy.

"This was the first step. I did not need to add location values to them because they were next to each other. If I have to place them apart and connect them with void strings… the portal would lose its purpose."

He uttered in a low voice, but audible enough to Lu Bela.

After hammering his brain for a while and not finding a solution, he slapped the first black hole in frustration and let it collide with the second. Since they were still attached by the string, they didn't devour each other. But rather, caused a spiral inside them.

"..."

Curious, Rudy inserted his hand to see what would happen, and his hand came out from the other hand.

"I see… a layer between them. Black holes can't eat the space itself… or maybe they do. But space is ever expanding, so I will never run out of space. I needed a layer of space between the two."

"Is everything alright?!"

"Yup! I may or may not have found a solution. It's hard to explain, but I think I can make it work!"

He added the values to both sides and asked Lu Bela if she could see his hand coming out of the portal.

"No!"

"Can you ask Kim if she can see my hand near the fountain?"

Lu Bela touched her ear and asked Kim about the same.

[Yes. I can see a hand. It actually scared me at first.] Kim responded.

Lu Bela looked up at Rudy and shouted, "She can see it!"

"Okay, we are good to go then!"

Rudy landed near Lu Bela and said, "I will have to go now. I will send the girls here in a few minutes."

"Can you drop me by the fountain?"

"Sure."

Rudy placed his hand on Lu Bela's shoulder and teleported to the fountain where Kim was waiting.

"You should summon a few UnderBlades."

After saying that, he teleported to the pool house.

Lu Bela and Kim looked at each other as though they both were waiting for either one to speak.

"How did it go?" Kim asked.

SIGH!

Lu Bela shook her head and sat by the fountain.

"He turned you down?!" Kim exclaimed. "But didn't he promise he would do anything you ask for?!"

"He didn't turn me down. He… didn't understand what I was trying to say."

"What… did you ask for?"

"I told him that I want a room in the castle."

"..."

Lu Bela hugged herself and muttered, "I thought he would understand what I meant."

"Why didn't you ask directly?!" Kim groaned. "You had a golden chance."

"I was afraid that he would turn me down."

Lu Bela had asked Rudy to give her a room at the castle, but that was a gesture to her true wish.

Rudy had made it clear to Lu Bela that the rooms were for his harem members, so when she sought a room in the castle, she was indirectly asking to join his harem.

"Still, maybe you could have leaned in to kiss him while asking that. Perhaps he would have understood then."

"I even hinted it twice by mentioning things about harem, but he changed the subject. I could feel he was uncomfortable talking about it."

SIGH!

Lu Bela facepalmed herself and released a frustrating sigh.

"Tell me everything that happened," Kim demanded the details.

Lu Bela told her everything word to word, which made Kim angry.

"What in the ever-burning hell?!" She shouted in anger. "He clearly said that he would have let you join his harem had you asked him. So why would you have to tell him that you would be unable to love him?!"

"But it's true. The sole reason I want to be part of his harem is to understand what love is. I thought if I experienced it, I would become more human."

"Argh!" Kim shook her head in disappointment and muttered, "You missed your chance. Don't blame Rudy. You could have tried harder and better."

"I am sure I will get another chance. Better yet, if I somehow manage to make him fall in love with me, he would add me to his harem."
