Chapter 1912 Averted Disaster

The VOID algorithm told him the future of his physicality.

The SOUL System showed him the future by intentionality.

Together, his intrinsic familiarity with Kane, his situational awareness of their environment, and, most importantly, the two systems of thought allowed him to see an unfathomable depth into the future.

Not just one step into the future.

Not even two steps.

He could see the future of the entire battle unfold.

As well as its outcome.

He made a decision on the spot.

"I resign." Rui smiled, raising his hands.

"Huh?" Kane tilted his head in confusion. "Are you sure?"

It was almost magical.

Flux Earther knowing the exact trajectory of the incoming attack allowed him to align the axis of his body in precisely the right way to maximize the smoothness of energy dispersal.

It was unfortunate that he didn't have an equivalent timing and accuracy-based technique for offense. Most of his offensive and power-based techniques, be it Reverberating Lance, Outer Convergence, Fire Breathing, and others, were static. This meant that even as his precision and accuracy of timing and placement rose, thanks to his systems of thought, his offense did not change all that much.

In fact, that was one of the reasons that Rui would have gone on to break Kane's Martial Path in the future of the battle. He lacked the offensive to do any real, meaningful damage to Kane. Breaking Kane's Martial Path inadvertently became a likely result. Had he had an offensive technique that grew significantly more effective with greater precision and accuracy, he would have been able to end the spar with a victory before it reached such a grave end.

But alas, he didn't have what he didn't have.

It was another thing that he placed on his list of ideas to be explored in the future. Having a powerful offensive technique was just as important as having a powerful maneuvering and defensive technique. Still, he would be lying if he claimed he wasn't deeply pleased with the spar against Kane. To any other Martial Senior, fighting another of their peer without their Martial Heart was absolutely suicidal. It was something that simply could not be accomplished by the conventional school of thought. The Martial Heart was too powerful.

Yet Rui had accomplished it anyway. He was probably part of a very few extraordinarily elite Martial Seniors that could have feasibly done so.

The first Martial Senior that came to mind was the Gatekeeper with his titanic physical prowess. Rui didn't think Kane could possibly beat the Gatekeeper under the same conditions that he fought against Rui.

'Also, Ieyasu.' He wondered how strong the man had gotten in the near-five years since they had last met. There was no doubt that he had grown massively stronger since his battle with Rui. The only reason that Rui won their previous fight was because he had a higher affinity to the Master Realm than Ieyasu. The man needed more time to make any progress with the Martial Mind, which caused their fight to fall mildly in Rui's favor, allowing him to edge out a victory against his sole equal rival.

However, Rui knew better than to read too deeply into his victory. Ieyasu's Martial Path had elevated to a higher level after he integrated thought into it.

He shook his head, returning to the present. There was no time to spend daydreaming about what-ifs. He had spent a year and a half in pursuit of Project Telepath. Now, it was time to get back to work and find the Divine Doctor.
