Chapter 1956 New Normality

Kane heaved a sigh, trying to relax.

Unfortunately, he was hoping for too much.

"AAAARGHHRGRJAHAHAHAGAAHARAHAGRHAHAGRRGAGRG!!!"

His eyebrows furrowed with irritation as Rui's scream-laugh fusions disturbed the serenity and harmony of the Garden of Salvation.

It had been a few months since the Elder Tree had transmitted all his knowledge on life in Gaia to Rui. In totality, the two of them had been in the Garden of Salvation for nine months now.

Only a year remained till the Emperor of Harmony died.

"ARRRGHAGAGHHRGRJAHAHAHAGAAHARAHAGRRGHAGGRRGAGRG!!!"

Kane could not help but wonder if they were doomed from the very start.

They might have had a chance if Rui didn't have a fatal flaw with being extraordinarily driven towards adaptive evolution, even if it came at the cost of healing his father. Yet, because Rui had gotten seduced by the Elder Tree, Kane had to wait until the two of them were done with their little mind orgy.

"Tough life..." Kane remarked as he relaxed in an identical replica of his living quarters in the Kandrian Empire.

"AAAARGHHRGRJAHAHAHAGAAHARAHAGRHAHAGRRGAGRG!!!"

Of course, Kane didn't strictly mind it if Rui's dad died.

After all, it wasn't like it was his dad, though he wouldn't mind his own asshole of a father dying either. He also knew that Rui didn't have much, if any at all, of an emotional attachment to his father. The biggest reason he was searching for the Divine Doctor was that he didn't want to ascend to the throne as the Third Emperor of the Kandrian Empire.

"AAAARGHHRAAAAHGRJAHAHAHAGAAHARAHAGRHAHAGRRGAGRG!!!"

Even though Kane didn't mind Rui's dad dying, he didn't want to see Rui become Emperor because it would become impossible to hang out with his best friend and the source of his Martial Drive.

He also knew that it wasn't what Rui wanted.

"Ah, well." He shrugged. "It is what it is."

The way Rui created powerful and potent systems of thought had created a false illusion within Kane's mind that he could do it pretty well if he wanted to, but the sheer astronomical difficulty of creating an effective and viable system of thought was far, far more difficult than creating Martial Art techniques.

It was such unfamiliar territory for Kane that he had absolutely no idea how to even get started.

How did one begin?

How did one progress?

How in the world did one test and improve systems of thought?

His respect and admiration for Rui for creating the VOID algorithm, the Angel of Laplace, the ODA System, and the SOUL System only heightened. Only after trying to create his own system of thought did he realize how absurdly impressive the ones Rui created were.

His thoughts were interrupted when a stark silence suddenly replaced the screams.

"Done?" Kane asked out loud.

Yes. The session for today is over.

"Is he...?"

Thus far, arguably, he has probably retained his mind and sanity.

"Arguably?" Kane narrowed his eyes. "Probably?"

I am not a mental health expert. Certainly not for Martial Artists. I am unable to comment on his mental health at the moment. What I can say is that he is responsive and conscious and has successfully processed and stored all the information I have supplied him.

Kane heaved a sigh. "Is he awake?"

He has already fallen asleep.

"Well, alright, I suppose I'll just have to catch him when he wakes up."
