The Martial Unity

Rui gained a more thorough understanding of the Virodhabhasa Faith the more he studied it. The religion was actually a lot simpler than the religions he knew of back on Earth. Those religions were much older and had a far greater expanse of mythologies and religious stories and texts.

Many religions had pantheons that were infested with countless gods each with their own set of mythological stories.

Even religions with a single deity encompassed an ocean of stories, doctrines, and other information relevant to the religion.

The Virodhabhasa Faith was a lot simpler in that regard. Its holy book mostly contained the absurdly lengthy divine revelation that recounted many details that Rui considered to be extra fluff to spice up the myth of the Virodhabhasa Faith. There were chapters filled with metaphorical hyperbole adding more details to embellish the existence of the Virodhabhasa.

Yet even as Rui grew bored reading them, there were some excerpts that drew his attention.

Encompassing Creation and Destruction, the universe bows before their splendor.

With a wave of their hand, Martial Paths may rise above or fall under.

Rui couldn't help but wonder what that alluded to, but he felt strange about this particular small excerpt. The strange parallels that ran between his Martial Path, and what he hoped his Martial Path to be and the Martial Art of the Virodhabhasa.

Of course, that did not mean he was convinced that he had any relation to this religion or the deity of the religion, he just found the parallels to be eerie.
