Chapter 1858 I Accept

Chapter 1858 I Accept

At that moment, a flood of memories from back on Earth struck him.

It was a time during which John Falken had already finished the development of the adaptive evolution model that allowed the user to thoroughly adapt to anybody with the most perfectly placed counter to any given move.

One of the biggest problems he was running into was that the human mind was too slow to execute these moves before it was too late. Human movement speed exceeded human reaction speed.

That was why he had turned to prediction.

If the user could predict the movement of his opponents accurately, then he could begin his counter at the right moment.

Of course, he had eventually gone on to develop the predictive model for just that reason. However, the predictive model had not been his only option. Another serious contender for the prediction mechanism was honing and training the subconscious predictive instinct that was based on subconscious pattern recognition.

It was a very serious contender for becoming the predictive mechanism.

There was very rigorous research that statistically demonstrated the subconscious mind's ability to foresee the future. There was research that neurologically demonstrated that parts of the brain associated with the subconscious mind preemptively prepared to execute decisions before the conscious mind had even made an actual conscious decision.

It was an evolutionary neurological trait that greatly predicted survival, which was why evolution favored it.

Rui often wondered what would have happened if John had instead chosen to go with the subconscious, instinctive prediction instead of the conscious statistical prediction of the predictive model.

Well, now he found out.

It would have worked out just fine.

"Incredible..." Rui murmured. "Instinctive prediction."

"I know that the prophecy of your technique is different. It's not prophecy at all, is it?"

She stared at him with a knowing look.

A Martial Sage could not be fooled so easily.

"It isn't," Rui smiled wryly. "It's calculation. Really advanced calculation."

"Fascinating," she murmured. "I was not aware that the future could be calculated. Yet your worths are undoubtedly truthful. I sensed a tsunami of conscious thought erupting within the depths of your powerful mind during your fight with Huldah."

She closed her eyes. "Imagine what would happen if we were to combine these two techniques."

If not for the fact that the Kandrian Empire under the Emperor of Harmony was not hawkish or conquest-oriented, many people would be worried about what the Kandrian Empire would be capable of once the Martial Union fully harnessed the power of the Silas Clan.

Some even hoped that there would be a severe breakdown in negotiations, causing the Silas Clan to leave the Kandrian Empire.

Unfortunately for them, Rui did not intend to allow this outcome to unfold. He had earned the trust of both parties and would be serving as the mediator for the approaching conference.

And it arrived.

STEP

Master Sera Graven, the Harbinger, had arrived at the settlement of the Silas Clan in the Ilvilia Clan, wearing formal attire with the emblem of the Martial Union on the chest of her attire.

A profoundly powerful Master-level aura radiated from her. One that was stronger than all Martial Masters of the Kandrian Empire.

Naturally, she could not be ignored.

STEP

The Mindforgers of the Silas Clan had arrived before, regarding her with stern caution.

"Identity yourself and your purpose for approaching the Silas Clan."

"I am Sera Gervin of the Master Council of the Martial Union," she calmly replied, pulling out an extravagantly adorned envelope. "I am here to convey an invitation for a conference personally offered by the Sage Council of the Martial Union to Matriarch Nephi Silas of the Silas Clan. From Sage to Sage, they beseech an audience with her."

RUMBLE

The Harbinger stiffened as a profoundly power presence shook the very world around them, bending heaven and earth under the weight of her being.

STEP

Matriarch Nephi had arrived.

A single remark escaped her mouth.

"I accept."
