Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2114: Following the flow

With the orb lifted high, the bond between me and the whirlpool intensified noticeably.

Something invisible was clearly amplifying that connection.

Yet it still lacked the power needed for my divine energy to penetrate the whirlpool.

"Why is it rejecting me?"

This burning question filled my mind as I stared at the swirling vortex.

I was definitely attempting to channel my divine energy into it, but an unseen barrier kept shoving it back out.

The harder I pushed, the fiercer the repulsion grew.

It felt like clashing against an outward-thrusting force.

Finally, I squinted intently at the whirlpool.

"It’s the flow..." I whispered slowly to myself after prolonged scrutiny.

Though barely visible, I sensed it clearly while testing divine energy from various entry points. The consistent pushback revealed a clear pattern.

The whirlpool's own swirling current was what repelled my divine energy.

"Then if I want to let it flow into the whirlpool, does that mean that I have to follow the flow?"

Observing the whirlpool longer only solidified my belief. Indeed, the repelling force swirled relentlessly in one direction.

Therefore, my sole path was to align with that flow toward the vortex's heart.

Using the orb, I successfully channeled the divine energy.

This attempt used far less than my previous efforts.

I chose a softer, more delicate method for infusing the divine energy this time.

Uncertain of victory, my bold experiment succeeded wildly—the whirlpool eagerly welcomed my divine energy, perhaps overly so.

The instant divine energy entered the whirlpool, it seemed to awaken with voracious hunger.

It guzzled my divine energy like a parched traveler lost in the desert for days, relishing that first precious sip of water after an eternity.

Quite the irony for a whirlpool of all things.

I allowed it at first, but soon the drain grew overwhelming, forcing me to halt the process.

Though new to distant divine energy transmission, the principle felt familiar—like regulating flow to my past creation divine energy relics.

With a steady grasp, controlling the divine energy influx into the whirlpool proved effortless.

Eventually, I cut off the divine energy and began retreating.

"What is it? Are you already done?" The water elemental ancestors, who had watched silently, showed clear disappointment at the sight.

I understood their frustration perfectly, so I explained, "I’m just moving away from it. I can send the divine energy into it from any distance now that I’ve figured out how to do it, but I shouldn’t be too close or else I’ll be pulled into it."

"Oh..." Their tone carried unspoken doubt about my caution.

Yet I knew the exact words to sway them.

"If I get sucked in, I don’t think I’ll survive this. If I don’t survive, I can’t really give it divine energy, right?"

Such airtight reasoning left them no room for argument.

After witnessing the whirlpool's response to my actions, their gazes toward me transformed entirely. It shifted further upon noticing its slight expansion.

Marks etched at the water body's depths revealed the whirlpool's former grandeur, explaining their desperation over its shrunken state.

Those same marks guided me to the safe distance from its impending growth.

Thanks to my newfound technique, distance from the whirlpool posed no issue for delivering divine energy.

Ultimately, I positioned myself at the outermost mark and hoisted the orb anew.

This round, I expanded the whirlpool substantially before pausing.

"It’s not as if I can do this all in a single day, I’m just a human. It’ll take some time and I’ll need to rest before I can finish all of this."

The water elementals appeared crestfallen at my words, yet they refrained from pressing. True to Undine's description, their gentle nature made them averse to confrontation.

Their earlier impatience stemmed from sheer anxiety, but proof of effectiveness now tempered their urgency.

"We understand. Please take as long as you need."

With those words, the water elementals swiveled toward Undine, sending shivers through it.
