The Martial Unity

Now that Rui had established his short-term goals, he needed to find a way to go about achieving his goal of adding a new system to the VOID algorithm centered around the altering of the Martial body or its spec configuration.

It was all good and fine to get excited by this ambitious new goal that would massively improve his adaptive evolution. But he needed an actual plan about how he was going to go about that.

The first issue was knowing what were the conditions and requirements for the mechanisms by which he altered the spec configuration of his body. If it turned out to be the case that altering his body to different types and changing his spec configuration was too difficult or cost too much, then it wasn't viable.

Furthermore, he couldn't really accept if the flexibility of the mechanism was not high enough for him to gain at least various different kinds of the most common kinds of spec configurations.

This included speed and agility-oriented Martial bodies like that of Kane's that were highly compatible with maneuvering techniques. Power-oriented, defense-oriented, stamina and endurance-oriented Martial Artists were also the bare basic necessities.

Then Martial bodies specialized for range, for breathing techniques, or other systems. Those were a secondary concern, it would be a nice bonus if he could pull it off.

('I should start by giving this project a simpler name,') He considered the matter for a bit. ('Metabody… Project Metabody.')

It wasn't the best name that he had come up with in his time, but it worked. The goal of Project Metabody was to achieve a way of altering the spec configuration of his Martial Body most suited to taking down his opponent in viable and feasible manners.
