Chapter 2426: Sealed



It was the end.

Rui was completely sabotaged.

An intense emotional turmoil had completely overtaken him.

Time slowed down in his eyes as his mind reached an extraordinary state of activity with the power of the Megamind. He applied the tachypsychia hypnotic technique he used for Neo Godspeed in a final act of desperation to give him time to figure out how to overcome this tribulation.

Yet, as he watched Ieyasu's killing blow surging towards him in slow motion, a single truth became clear to him.

'I can't do it.'

He realized that in hindsight.

He had adaptively evolved to others.

He could adaptively evolve to Ieyasu, as was his secret plan.

But, he couldn't adaptively evolve to himself.

He couldn't adaptively evolve to his own trauma.

He couldn't adaptively evolve to the weaknesses of his psyche.

He couldn't do it.

Memories of his previous life, memories of the revelation that they belonged to someone else, memories of the people he loved, memories across two lifetimes.

They shackled him.

They wounded him.

In this battle, they were weaknesses.

In this battle that would define the future of the Kandrian Empire, they were a liability.

In this battle that would define the future of all East Panama, they sabotaged his victory. They sabotaged his Adaptive Evolution.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

...Sabotage my Adaptive Evolution?'

A hint of defiance flared in his eyes in the face of defeat and death.

Nothing was allowed to sabotage Adaptive Evolution.

He would eliminate anything that dared to stand in the way of his greatest ambition.

But what if it was his own memories that did so?

What if it was one of the most important elements of who he was?

'If these memories sabotage my Adaptive Evolution... if they sabotage my Martial Path then...' Rui's eyes flared with determination. '...Then I shall get rid of them.'

His black eyes opened with endless clarity as his attention returned to Ieyasu surging towards

him.

WHOOSH!!!

Ieyasu's eyes widened with shock as his attack crashed into an empty image.

A feint.

In the final moment, Rui had leaped away while using a feint and misdirection to trick Ieyasu into believing he was still there. With the power of the Megamind, not even Ieyasu was able to pay attention to the real Rui leaping away.

Ieyasu couldn't believe that Rui could possibly execute such a move considering the state of

his mind.

Yet, Rui was just getting started.

The sum totality of logos was focused on a single objective.

Defeating Tokugawa Ieyasu.

BOOOOOM!!!

A thundering Yin-Yang Spear crashed into Ieyasu's hasty guard. He barely managed to block

the incoming attack with a grave expression.

He could feel it.

He could feel the limitless single-minded drive in Rui's fists.

And it left him almost paralyzed with shock and bewilderment.

Just how did Rui manage to break out of his deep emotional turmoil?

Just how could he possibly adaptively evolve to and negate one of the most powerful Martial

Art that Ieyasu had ever copied in his entire life?!

He didn't know.

He didn't understand.

Yet, Rui was not kind enough to give him the personal space he needed to figure everything

out for himself.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!!

Ieyasu grimaced as he struggled to block the devastating onslaught that Rui unleashed upon

him.
